ing to the farmer a steady and certain
income from his farm. Creamery man
agement was also discussed and the
care of dairy products. Other topics
mentioned by the speakers were the
growing of feeds for producing milk,
such as corn, alfalfa and other feeds
In talking over the series of meet
ings with a representative of the Trib-
une, Mr.. Flint said:
"lhe northwestern country ought tc
turn its attention rapidly to dairy work
1t is more or less subject to dry con-
ditions as is the, balance of western
North Dakota. 1t is desirable that a:
EARLY as possible the farmers divert
their attention from exclusive grain
raising to diversified farming method:
and when they do this will have be.
come permanent settlers instead Of
transients.
1T is all unwritten law. funda'

live stock to considerable extent i,

does become a permanent settler, while
one who produces grain only sooner
or later is obliged to move either
through necessity or does so becaus,
of lack of attachment to the farm

Articles of incorporation have been
filed with the secretary OF state by the

of incorporation, among them being
the following:
!. (a) To promote interest in adver
Using and kindred subjects.
(b) To encourage and countenance
only truthful, upright and clean adver

far as may be in its power the stand
trd of advertising being done in the
community in which the corporation

Article reads as follows: "The

Some of the old time newspaper
men around the capital when they
learned the articles had been filed in
dulged in a number of broad smiles
when they saw that the corporation
stood for truthful, upright and clean
advertising and that the corporation
was not to be run for profit. They
stated that that would have been an
inevitable result. However the new

purposes and WI; undoubtedly be a
