Carl Jorgenson, deputy state audi
tor, has been resident of North Da
kota long time. He mas been {
close observer of conditions and
speags from a personal knowledge
when he says the ordinary man com
ing to North Dakota in years past
came to gamble with the soil. The
rich, black loan looked easy to him,
and it was easy. Probably the reason
the early settler cheated was because
the conditions invited it. and he had
the best of the game. Instead OF
treating with the soil he gambled
with it, and he won. He happened
to strike year when all he had to
do was stand on the section liDe and
throw the seed up in the air. The
wind scattered it over the ground
and kindly nature did the rest. AS
a result the man who dealt from the
bottom of the pack made big win
ming, the first pat netting him from
$40 to SIS an acre, and instead OF
making a farmer these conditions
made a confirmed gambler out Of the
new settler. He Ignored all the rules
ended solely upon his grofpetaoine
of legitimate crop-raising and de.
pended solely upon his graft. And
here is where nature and he parted.
He violated all of natures laws in
his agricultural pursuits, and being
hottest nature controAed the game
and left him broke as all cheaters
find themselves sooner or later. Then
he grows sore as his agricultural out
lawry becomes apparent and he COM
plains and roars. He is not good
citizen and becomes disloyal to his
state. Other gamblers have come in,
made q big strike and carried the
first years winnings away to some
other field. It is the man who stuck
on the job, played the game fairly
and invested his labor and intelli-
gence who has won, for he is now
possessed of many rich acres, cattle,
horses pigs and sheep, and has sur
plus money working at from eight to
twelve per cent. No other state in
the Union offers such opportunities.
The game of farming is now being
played by the old timers strictly on
the square, and it is found a good
game, as the big houses anu granaries
and labor saving machinery will at
test.

The Tribune is nothing If not oblig-
ing. It has always stood for the home
and the flreside, and in sympathy
with this policy it now, metaphoric-
ally speaking, hurls a husband right
into the arms of yearning widow.
The plea for a husband follows:
this is the add want you to put in
fore me
I am a Widow caused by Death
and no children IS years Old good
looking and want a kind loveing hus-
band and a good Home am kind
