MOVEMENT is NATION WIDE.
North Dakota's Battle Against Frec-
Trade "Reciprocity."
Grand Forks Times.)

The farmers and business men of
this state who t0iled so earnestly IN
the incipient fight against the ratifica
ton of the Canadian reciprocity agree
ment are beginning to see the results
of their labors outside their own state.
In letter to former Governor E. Y.
Searles, Albert Clarke, secretary of the
Home Market Club, of Boston. among
other things says:
| am greatly rejoiced over your move
ment and the spread of it in the other
northwestern states Our New England
farmers are nearly well united. al
though not so much aroused. 1t is quite
possible we can have delegations go TO
Washington to meet your delegations
and | think We can make this movement
strictly national Our interests are com
mon and they never ought to have been
divided.
Thus from the other side of the ma
ton comes the assurances of co-opera-
ton IN the battle against the Canadian
trade monstrosity. North Dakota un-

who demand justice for the farmer
have rallied beneath it's folds
The work begun in North Dakota has
extended until now, as Mr.. Clarke says
the movement can pc made Strlctly it :
tional. 1t is not possible to foretell the
outcome of the fight in the Senate. The
farmers will be given an opportunity
to be heard, and to be heard is to con-
vince any fair minded individual of
the iniquity of the pact. But if it is
defeated, it will be because of the bold
and fearless stand taken by the people
of North Dakota. That fact is becom-
ing known to the people of the nation
and the state is getting the advantage
Of this desirable advertising.

On the contrary he has found much

The Man With the Hoe.

The Man With the Hoe.
The man with the hoe is man Of might
For he holds in his brawny hands
The power of making the hearthstone
bright
And the welfare of every land
He holds scepter that all adore
And his subject stoop to kiss;
His klngdom reaches from shore To shore
And his reign is one of bliss
The man with the hoe is a man Of God,
And over and over again
Old earth he bruises and turns the sod
To nourish his fellow men
He brings the glow to the pallid face,
With hunger he wages strife
On his trusty hoe depends the race.
For he breaks them the bread of life
While others, responding to Buty's call
Go forth as he bids them to;
They look to him. yea one and all
Depend on the man with the hoe

an otherwise good horse, but terribly
afraid of automobiles and as a result

out one day recently driving his horse
when he saw an automobile coming
along a narrow place in the road. He
remembered his horses peculiarites
in regard to automobiles and was so
scared that he hardly knew what to
do. He had been eating an apple just
before he met the machine and he
jumped out of the wagon, went to the
horses head and gave the animal the
apple. Just then the machine whizzed
by and the horse hardly noticed it.
This gave Mr.. Lyons a new idea. He
went home and Immediately perfected

llet attachment to the saddle. large

GOVERNMENT OPERATION BEST

The Portland Oregonian is strictly
Opposed TO having the government
mine tine Alaska coal. 1t is in favor
of leasing the coal beds to ;orpor-
atiors 10: long periods of time.
Such course would be very fine
for the coal mining corporations.
Should that policy be adopted it is
safe to say the coal trust will be the
first ION deck when the Alaska coal
is offered for leasing. That concern
would have particular reasons for
desiring to mine the Alaska coal. It
would make its monopoly secure and
prevent any lowering of prices.
To be sure the government could
lease the coal lands with the privilege
% regulating the prices to be charged.
However, such an arrangement could
never be as effective from a public
standpoint as actual government op-
Grafton Of the mines. 1t is seemingly
easy for corporations to pad their ex-
rense accounts and thereby thwart
regulation. This is especially true in
instances where corporations them
selves are influential in the naming
of those who are to do the regulat-
ing-as at time it occurs.
Let the government mine the coal
and sell it 40 the public at cost. What
if such course does lower the pro-
fits of the coal barons? There are
too many bsoated fortunes in the
United States anyway. With these abb
normal fortunes on one side and an
aggressive labor unionism on the
other the safety of the country is be-
coming seriously threatened.

WHERE GIRLS SHOULD START

l receive many letters from girls,
who seem to have one paramount
problem. how to earn a living. The
multitude of them want city life, al
though few have a special training to
fit for it.
When a girl asks for counsel-there
is only one brand of advice to offer.
First let her make a beginning in her
own community. No matter how
small her town is, there is sure to be
a little store where she can get some
idea % business. A year or two pent

change and caring for bills rubs off
considerable of the .rawness which is
handicap in the city. She can
qualify as a senographer in the office
OF some country lawyer or village
factory. She can learn telegraphy or
telephone work, millinery, bookkeep-
ing, library work or journalism. The
superintendent Of schools IN a large
city tells me that some of his best
teachers were girls who had taught
for several terms in country schools.
They were healthier, less frazzled of
nerve, and had more endurance than
the city bred girls. A city hospital
recruits, when possible, from nurses
who have been trained in a village

1t is currently reported that auto

No TIME FOR DELAY.

1t is hard to understand why the
time for further palaver regard ne
time with further palavor regarding
the removal of the overhead wires
months and it is quite well under
stood. II seems useless to ask agents
OF the electric trust and the telephone
trust whether or not the wires should
lie grounded. Assuredly those men
will not want to make the improve
rlent unless they have to do 10.
If the council wants the overhead
wires removed then order them
down. The officials, not the trusts,
are running the city. At least the
officials were chosen for that pur-
rose. order the overhead wires re-
r"oved and specify that when cables
ere laid they shall be laid under the
direction of the city authorities.
If such action as this is but taken
then the proposition of getting the
unsightly poles and wires removed
VIII take such shape as will insure
results. 1t will then be possible to
get something accomplished before
Alta, Cottonwood and Webb streets
ere paved and it becomes too late.
There Is no time for delay.
