night" said Sen. J. Ellsworth Davis

resentative in the Waldorf hotel lobby
this morning. Il am going back this
afternoon as nay business Is finished,
so my visit in Fargo will be brief this
time
Everything in our part of the
country is as good as could have been
expected this year. One thing that is
particularly noticeable is the great de-
sire of the farmers for diversified
farming next year From now on,
think, they will begin to feel they can
raise something else besides wheat.
And the variation OF crops Is going 20
increase the value of farm lands in our
section OF the state as well as here in
the valley. When the agricultural In
terests devote themselves totally to
the raising OF only one kind OF a crop
year after year, 1t is soon going to give
the impression that their land is Mt
for nothing else and 1t will never so
beyond certain valuation. But just
as soon as the farmers begin to diver
sify their crops and prove that they
can raise other things just as well,
land is going up, and that is what we
want here in North Dakota
The senator spoke OF the political
situation and stated that the gossip
about his aspirations for congressional
honors was idle talk. He said he had
no further ambitions along political
lines and was not pushing himself.
This talk about my running for
congress in the Second district or for
lieutenant governor he said lis Just
the gossip of the men who are inter-
ested in what Is going to happen DUR
ing the next campaign. Such specula-
ton is only natural and ! think from
that several Of the newspapers got
hold Of it and it made little political

improvised receptacles for use in the

pine, lined throughout with white oil
cloth, the edge glued on the outside.
This was covered with linoIeum,

raw edges were covered with tan

studs The hinges and lock were Of
brass. Two stout straps were tackled

To Abolish Stamns.

Proposals have been made to The
postal authorities in Europe that
postage stamps be done away with,
wholly or in part. No one who
knows what the mail traffic of a
largo COMMERCIAL concern is will
wonder at the dissatisfaction with
the present system. The entire
time of one clerk is frequently re-
quired. and is some concerns several
persons are occupied in placing the
little oblongs on gummed paper on
envelopes and packages.
n experiment already has been
tried in Bavaria of postmarking
large consignments at the postoffic,
the operation being carried out by
machinery, and no stamps being
used, says the Chicago Tribune. In
this way an enormous expense for
printing, cutting and FASTING paper
stamps have been avoided and no
affixing of the stamps has been neces.
sary. But it is suggested that this
method is crude and that something
more saving of time and labor might
be devised.
A meter resembling gas or
water meter could be attached to
each commercial house and the mail
ing matter could be passed through
1t. The registry of the amount
would b. automatic and the postal
authorities could read the meter
each month and collect the amount
due them. Different meters could
DO had for first, second and third
class matter
Certainly some such method as
this seems far more consistent with
the spirit of the age than our pres
ent laborious and time-honored way
Of doing bushes We have, of
course. provisions for avoiding the
stamp nuisance for some matter, but
probably they could be extended and
bettered.
