BEAT THE BEEF BARoNs.

The price Of beef is sky high. Ribs
and loin were quoted at 1914 cents a
pound, wholesale, in New York last
week. That is new high level
But why should that specially
trouble anyone out here in North Da-
kota-where nearly everybody has a
back yard and where chickens can be
raised as easily as anywhere on earth.
If you are bothered by the price of
beef, buy a rooster half a dozen hens,
a piano box for house, handbook
on poultry culture-and then give
them 80 minutes Of you time twice a
day.
Raising chickens as a livelihood is
no gold mine for the shiftless. Those
who make money at 1t would make
it by expanding the same talent and
same industry at any other business.
But it can so be made means of
domestic economy that the price of
beef will be the smallest of ones
troubles.
And il earning your daily bread
keeps you within four walls-the
greater part of the time-an hour a
day spent out with the chickens will
save many a. doctors bill.

TAFT AND HIS vEToEs.

Commenting on Taft's vetoes and
his coming trip through the west, The
Minneapolis Journal had the following:
Evidently the president win start out
on his coming trip In better posi-
rion than he was on his last swing
around the circle, when he had to de-
TEND the Payne-Aldrich bill, to which
he had given reluctant consent. yet
ne VIII not have to change HIS attf-
tude materially. He confessed tha
faults of the tariff bin them but de-
cIared that the tariff In his opinton
never could be efficiently dealt with
by congress alone. He pleaded FOR
tariff commission then. He stands for
the same thing now. On this ground
his opposition to the bills passed for
the reform Of the tariff In the EXTRA
.asion Of congress, is amply justified.
The opposition will. no doubt, try to
convict the president Of insincerity BY
pointing out that. while pledged To
tariff reduction. he signed d bill that
raised the tariff and vetoed one that
reduced 1t. But the opposition cannot
convict the president without bringing
themselves into the indictment. The
president has pointed out that at the
last session OF the sixty first congress
both parties agreed that the time to
revise the tariff again would be at the
first regular session Of the sixty Sec
end congress. Both Joined in making
for the expenses OF tariff
boArs, ~ the presidents promise that

EDUCATIONAL CENTER.


Fargo has long been famous as q
financial and commercial center-but
seems destined to become as well
known in an educational way. Each
succeeding fall brings an increased
army Of students-youth for the graded
and private schools--young men and
women for high schools, the colleges
and the business institutes.
1t is significant that great trade
centers have also been centers of edu-
cation-and Fargo promises to be one
Of that kind. Culture is the flower Of
legitimate material prosperity-there-
fore Fargo should become famous for
the higher achievements of civilization.
The knowledge thirsty OF the great
and the fertile region around Fargo
come here to study-because the city
presents special advantages. If they
wish to study business they have
access here to practical demonstra-
tion Of modern methods. Those who
wish to study along other lines find
the fullest opportunity and tie great
est advantages.
Fargo possesses excellent schools
and colleges. They attract an ever in
ereasing army Of students. The city.
famous for its material development,
Is assured further honors along educa-
tional lines.

Cereal in RichIand County Needs Ten
More Days of Fair Weather.
Wal1peton, N. D., Aug. 30.-Another
week or ten days of fair weather with
out frost and the corn crop of Rich
land county will be out of danger. The
crop promises TO be a bumper, one Of
the best in the history of the county.
Corn is rapidly becoming a staple
crop in this part Of North Dakota
and the acreage is increasing yearly.
There are very few farms in the coun-
ty now without a fair sized corn field
and many fields run from fifty to $50
acres. Owing to the large yield ex-
pected this year the management of
the Richland County Fair association
win make the corn display feature Of
the fair, which will be held at Wah-
peton Sept. 26. %. 2S. 20. One building
win be devoted to corn exhibits en-
