HAY HIGH PRICED.

The Forum has repeatedly, this
summer, called attention to the pos
sibilities for North Dakota farmers in
selling hay. North Dakota's hay crop
this year has been unusually bounti-
ful. In many cases two fine crops
were cut. In all states to the south
there IL a hay shortage-with prices
away up on the roof.
The farmers OF North Dakota should
study the market conditions-from
the standpoint of supply and demand.
There seems to The Forum to be a
great opportunity this year for the
fiiclxertail farmers to make some easy
money baling and selling hay. 1t is
certainly worth investigating.
The federal government reports
that the 1911 crop of the United States
viii approximate 4s,ses,ooO tons as
compared with sO,s7s,oOO in 1910
making a shortage Of 14,0oe, 600 tons
In the 1911 crops as against the 1910
yield--and the 1910 crop was 1900, 900
bales below the annual ten-year aver
age.

POINT WELL MADE.

''In the long run every nations well
fare must primarily depend upon
those who till the SOIL" is one of the
assertions made In a letter which
Colonel Roosevelt addressed to mem
bers Of the Conservation congress at
Kansas City.
There isn't any national truth quite
30 automatic in quality as this, of
course. Yet what percentage Of the
so-called leaders of thought have
grasped this profound truth?
There is being developed rapidly an
overwhelming class Of men-who
thrive upon the toll of the farmer
who make a practice Of discounting
the farmers labor-and who are re-
sourceful in ingenious schemes to get
the lions share OF the profits Of the
farm. Already this class of men is
numerous and powerful 1t is steadily
becoming more numerous and power
ful.
Consumers and producers alike are
feeling the blighting influence Of the
Spectator and the middleman.
Schemes have been devised by which
this class of parasites come out whole,
even IL the producer and the con-
sumner are impoverished. There new
er has been so successful plan to
work restraint Of trade. The. hard
ships Of this scheme are visited upon
every individual in the land-yet no
law has been devised for the over
throwing Of a blighting power.
II this country ever arrives at a
point where the farmer is also a mer-
chant as in former days--there win
be something more than food for
merriment in the back to the farm
doctrines. When men go back to the
farm hopefully, and find real oppor-
tunities there, they shall have found
a way to build up that higher citizen
ship which is the hope of the nation.

went tearing down the field.
He was the very limit In the strenuous
pastirne;
To ask a man to tackle him was
nothing but a crime.
He was the strongest man thev'd had
in twenty-seven years.
He always left the field bestrewn with
arms and legs and ears.
His biceps were as hard as nails, he
had mighty chest;
or all the athletes in the world he
was one of the best
His limbs were like the sturdy oak and
ne could grab a mule
Right by the tail and swing him round
and toss him DER the school,
he could bend railroad steel right up
by using his bare hands;
The muscles of his brawny arms were
strong as iron bands
He'd pull a tree up by roots and carry
1t away;
The grandstand would be crowded
every time that he would play.
But, back home In vacation time. his
strength just failed, VOW
He was so weak he couldn't think of
following the pillow
He couldn't hoe potatoes and he
couldn't split the wood.
Although he told his parents he would
like to If he could.
He simply seemed to pine away and
| dwindle as rule,
TIL in the fall when time came round
for him to go to school
Then he'd recover suddenly and take
an awful brace
In feats OF strength a deal depends
upon the time and place.

HookwoRMs AND MINING.


Practically all the old mines in the
United States-which have been sunk
to a great depth and have been oper-
ated for a long time by Europeans
are believed to be infected with hook
worms.
Such 10 the opinion OF Drs. e. e.
Endicott and Herbert Gunn---two
California hookworm experts who
have been investigating conditions in
the gold mines OF that state.
It has been found In California that
most Of the miners employed there
have come from Cornwall. Austria,
ITALY or South Africa--but they have
almost invariably stopped in Pennsy1-
vania, Michigan, and other mining
states OF the middle west.
Until six years ago but few cases
Of hookworm had been found in the
mines of California. Recently the
worm has become quite common
among the rniners--or at least 1t has
been very generally detected. steps
are now being taken to guard against
its spread.
AS most Of the mines in California
are very deep and hard TO disinfect

BALD HEADS NOT WANTED.
Badness Is Too Generally Considered
a Sion OF Advanced ACE.

q Sign OF Advanced Age.
A bald headed person does not have
an equal chance with one blessed with
healthy head OF hair, because bald
ness is too generally accepted as an
indication of age. Many large corpor-
atoms have established an age limit,
and refuse to take men over 35 years
of age as new employees.
Probably 65 per cent Of bald-headed
people may regain a good head Of
healthy hair IL they will follow our
advice and accept our offer. We have
remedy that we positively guarantee
| to grow hair on any head, unless the
roots of the hair are entirely dead,
| their follicles closed, and the scalp has
become glazed and shiny. We want
people to try this remedy at our risk,
with the distinct understanding that
unless 1t does exactly what we claim
it will. and gives satisfaction in every
| respect, we shall make no charge for

We know exactly what we are talk
ing about, and with this offer back Of
our statements no one should scoff,

i We want every one in Fargo who
i is suffering from any scalp or hair
trouble, dandruff. falling hair, or bald
ness to try our Rexall 'o3" Hair

possibility that Mr.. Aaker can-either
be nominated or elected az governor
and there is no apparent demand for

likelihood that Mr.. Hanna will secure

candidate for governor. This is the
same Aaker who bolted the republic

asks the nomination from the hands
Of the republican party. What eff
frontery some men do have. 1t is to

Havana Union: The democrats Of
the state have started boom for
Governor Burke as a candidate for the
