LIFE ON THE ROAD

Waiting for a station; waiting for a

Waiting in the sunshine; waiting in

Waiting weary, hungry, nary bite nor

Waiting at the junction for train to

Waiting at a tavern or a grand hotel;
Waiting for instructions as guide to
sell:
Waiting for a money order by express;
Waiting, why it fingers, Satan cannot
guess.
Waiting on customer, your cusro-

Waiting on their fooling, waiting on
their fuss;
Waiting for one partner smiling
across the street;
Waiting past our train time. order in

Waiting for a buyer is our fate below;

Waiting is a habit "drummers' have

the two terms he has served he has adj
vanced to the front of the senate, has
now an important place in the DELHI
erations Of the upper house of congress
and is in line for still further advances
changes. Senator McCumber is a
clever speaker, a close student of pub
lie affairs, a hard worker and loyal to
his constituents, the people of the
state. His election yesterday was the
well earned reward of earnest and eff
cient public service.
Congressman Gronna has been in
public life in the state for a number
of years. He has worked hard and
faithfully for the people of the state
and no member of congress has paid
closer attention to public affairs and
been reader to serve the people of the
state in. every possible way. His adj
vancement to the senate by the direct
vote of the people must without doubt
be pleasing to him as it is to his
friends and admirers throughout the
state. Mr.. Gronna will serve the re-
mainder of the term for which Sem
ator NJ. N. Johnson was originally
elected. and there will be no more SEN
atorial struggles in the state for four
years at least. North Dakota will
be well and creditably represented in
both houses. Mr. Hanna and Mr. Hell
gesen will constitute the state dele
cation in the lower house. Both are
intelligent, upright and hard working
public men. The state is well situated
so far as its whole congressional dele
cation Is concerned.

Travellers Tales

Sam Crabbe, president of and one Of
the managers of the poultry show that
has been giving a successful exhibition
in this city for this week and which
will end tomorrow, is thinking seri-
ously of going into the business of rails
ing geese and he is preparing to issue
prospectus, which shows some re-
markable results.
According to his plan, there are to
be just three stockholders in his goose
company. There will be just three
stakeholder, and they will be valued
at 500. With this money 500 geese
can be bought. He estimates that
each goose will lay three eggs per
week, making in all 900 eggs, and at
Vhe end of year the number of eggs
will be 1880. In three years the eggs
produced would amount to 100000.
No eggs are to be sold, but all are
to be incubated and Matched; allowing
for infertile and bad eggs. he estimates
there would be 100000 geese Matched,
These would produce 100000 pounds OF
feathers valued at 81 per pound. There
would be 100000 goose livers, valued
at 10000, and two buttons from each
goose bill that would be worth $4,000,
| this giving total of gross receipts for
the three years the goose farm was in
business of s530,O00.
According to Mr.. Crabbe, there would
only be $500 invested at first, and he
estimates operating expenses would be
s190 900, making the total outlay $780,
800.
The net profits therefore would be
| $780, Each of the three stock
holders would receive the snug sum of
| $IIS,23S.33.
Then he goes on and figures that
/ guano from the geese, which could be
produced without the cost of any ma
| chinery and without any wear and
tear, would amount to $4,000 per year
which would also bring in revenue, but
of this latter part of his prospectus
he should be inquired of.
/ He figured all this out this week
while gazing at the big geese at the
poultry show, and If you don't believe
that his figures are correct all you have
to do is to make the experiment.

ANTI-PAss EXCEPTIONS.

The Forum has called attention to
the fact there are legitimate uses to
which railway passes can be put 1t
cited the opportunity for the use of
passes in connection with the farmers
institute work, the demonstration farm
supervision, the educational superin-
tendents and others. In this connec-
ton The Bismarck Tribune had the
following editorial
Now that the passage of an anti
pass bill seems assured, good many
people are beginning to see that the
railroad pass has been a source of
good, as well as it may in some re-
mote cases have been source of evil.
For example, the farmers institutes
through the state are made successful
and assisted greatly by the fact that
the railroad transportation is supplied

pOrtation in the interests of the state
generally and in their own interest, for

FRIDAY, JAN. 20, 1911.
BOOST FOR CORN CULTURE.

One Of the important incidents of
the Tri State meet in Fargo was the
announcement by President Worst that
the First National bank Of Fargo had
donated $1,000 in cash prizes to pro-
mote corn culture in North Dakota in
1911.
1t Is certainly a liberal offer by the
big financial institution and will be of
great assistance to the agricultural col
Iege in the efforts they have made for
years for the promotion of corn grow
Ing.
The First National bank proposes to
give the $1,000 for this worthy cause
with the idea Of inspiring the people
of the state to grow more and better
corn. The bank thought it would not
be fair to bring the extreme southern
counties-which have been success
fully growing corn for years-in direct
competition with tho=, along the in
ternational boundary line. To avoid
any unfairness II has divided the state
into four districts and made the cash
prizes $3.50 for each.
Each contestant is to submit ten
ears, the corn must be taken from a
field of at least five acres. This is
to avoid the competition of a man
who grows a mere garden patch.
The awards are to be made by judges
selected by the North Dakota Agricul-
tural college. The awards win be made
at the 1912 Tri-State convention. The
corn is to become the property of the
judges. who will auction it off-the
proceeds to go to the North Dakota
Children's home.
The Forum believes the First Ma
tional has shown a double stroke OF
enterprise. The cash prizes will not
only prove a stimulus to general corn
culture in North Dakota-but the pop
ular institution which is caring for the
homeless waits of the state will also bt
the beneficiary of the plan. The prize
winning corn should bring a high price
for seed and be in great demand al
the auction.
The First National has been DELHI
Grating over the corn proposition fol
some time. E. ]. weiser, vice presi-
dent, is from Iowa, where they grow
corn as big as Finn Leech's leg. He
believes corn will make the state o.
North Dakota as famous as wheat
and the farmers rich through STOCK
raising
The local banks and newspaper:
over the state will no doubt heartily
cooperate with the First National in
getting the farmers of the state in,
terested in the contest. The farme,
who wins prizes will attract a grea
deal of attention to his particular sec
ton Of the state-and the winnin,
will be of even greater benefit to TIL
county in the way of advertisement
than to the man who personally cap
ures as possible to repeal the law.

MEhS AND M07ES

Bismarck Tribune While a good
man. states of the United States went
democratic at the last election, and
elected democratic legislatures that
win return democratic United States
senators, and at the same time elected
democratic congressman enough to
turn the control of the next congress
over. to the democrats, North Dakota
remained in the republican column.
North Dakota elected two republican
congressman, and yesterday the legis-
lature elected two republican United
| States senator's So that North Da-
! kota remained true to her republican,
| ism in national affairs and is not
shaken from her party allegiance by
a little temporary political furry.
Both Senator McCumber and Con-
gresham Gronna are we'll known in
| the history and politics of the state.
| They have differed sometimes in their
views and in their public actions, but
| it is to the credit OF the republicans
/ of the state to say that both men have
been given credit for integrity of pub
| lie service and honesty of purpose.
That is, after all, the main thing. Sem
ator McCumber was a member of the
| finance committee that made the tariff
| bill. That was not perfect bill. but
| Senator McCumber labored to bring
out of the confusion OF suggestions as
| good a bill as possible, and to benefit
| his constituents of this state. Mr..
Gronna supported the house bill, but
did not vote for the bill as finally pass
/ ad THE naooln OF the state elected
both men to the senate 1t is safe to
say that both were given credit for
honesty of purpose and a desire to do
the best possible for the people OF
North Dakota and of the country.

Under the heading Seven Days is
the funniest comedy of many seasons,
the publication Vogue bestowed the
following praise on the play that
Messrs. Wagenhals & Kemper will pre-
sent at the Fargo operahouse this
evening with a cast direct from the
Aston theatre in New York where the
second year of the run is now under
way:
For brightness of lines, laugh pro-
voking situations and brisk, snappy
action, New York has never had a
comedy in any way comparable with
Seven Days which opened at the AS
tor theatre with sparkle that sent
cares and worries to the winds, In
