man. C. G. Nichols, Will Kimbrough,
Will Yerger and Rundle Smith We're
groomsmen. The ushers were T. NJ
Milestone, T. |. Gum, A. E, Jennings,
and T. H. Baird. Marmaduke and AL
Ian Kimbrough were ribbon-bearers.
To the strains of the Mendelsohnn |
wedding march, faultlessly rendered by |
Mrs. Nathan s. Wright, the bride en-
tered upon the arm of her father, Judge |
Kimbrough, her beauty enhanced by a
superb imported creation of chamereuse,
over white messaline, with garnatures
of duchess lace and orange flowers,
magnificent boquet of brides
roses and valley lilies.
The noted divine, Rev. E. T. Ed
monds, of Jackson, Miss, read the i'm
pressive service that united these two
fond hearts.

Raised His Own Seed

Mr.. Goven northwest of town has two
fields of corn near town side by side
both planted to Northwestern Dent and
planted at the same time. One field is
much the best and matured fully two
weeks earlier than the other. Why
should there be this difference? The
answer is this. The field which did the
best was planted with seed raised on
the same farm last year, the other
field wasn't. Mr.. Arvidson near town
who has been a successful corn raiser
the past few years reports his field
from seed raised on his own farm the
best. Corn Is sensitive plant. Move
the seed few miles any direction,
east, west, north, or south. the result
is the same, it natures later than if it
was planted in the same locality where
it was grown. Corn is necessary to
this country for it is the feed for fat
tening stock and absolutely necessary
for hog raising, and there is only one
way to make corn sure crop. Plant
home grown seed and gather that seed
in the fall from the earliest ears that
come to maturity. Wave.

Yalue Of Training

What is the money value of an edu-
cation? The average reduced to indi-
vidual cases, would be something like
this: Two boys, age IA, are both in
terested in mechanics. One goes into
the shops, the other into technical
school. The boy in the shops starts at
81 week, and by the time he is Is he
is getting 81. At that age the other
boy is leaving school and starting 1t
$40 week. At 20 the shop trained
young fellow is getting $3.50 and the
technical graduate SIS; at q the for
mer's weekly wage is $11.50 and the
latter's $40; and by the time they are
both Is the shopworker finds sl2.75 IN
his pay envelope while the technically
trained man draws salary of 81.
These figures are based on q study Of
1900 actual workers made by the Mas-
sachusetts Commission for Industrial
and Technical Education. La Follette's
Weekly.

the most magnificent collection of
grains and grasses, seeds, vegetables
and other products of North Dakota's
wide spreading plains and undulating
prairies ever assembled under one roof.
The clays and Goals and other illimitable
mineral resources will also be shown to
advantage.
There will be no lack of entertain
ment and amusement for Exposition
visitors. Three vaudeville perform
ances daily will occur in the Exposition
Theater. A wealth of street attrac-
tions and carnival stunts will amuse
the crowds outside. Bands and or
chestras in all parts of the Exposition
building will furnish music at all hours
of the day and night. There will be no
lack of fun. Every little moment will
have some feature all its own.
A special rate of two cents per mile
in each direction for round trip from all
points in North Dakota to Bismarck
for the Industrial Exposition has been
granted by the railways. Many special
trains will be run from various sections
of the state. Every day will be a
big day. The Industrial Exposition
this year, accompanying the largest
crop in the history of the state, offers
one of the best opportunities for North
Dakota to exploit its products and re-
sources it has ever had, or even will
have. The big land show should be
visited by every man, woman and child
of this land of Opportunity.

Opening Of Exposition

Next Tuesday morning, October l,
North Dakota's second annual 1ndust-
rial Exposition will be opened to the
public at Bismarck. It is by far the
most stupendous undertaking ever be-
fore attempted in the state, and from
present indications all records for at
tendance will be shattered. Not only
will thousands of North Dakotans visit
the big land show but thousands of
visitors from eastern states have signi-
fled their intention of visiting the Expo
sition this year, and satisfying them
selves as to what North Dakota soil
can actually produce.
Every day will be special day, the
complete calendar Of events being as
follows:
Tues, Oct. Educational Day.
Wed, Oct. 2-Minnesota and Wis
consin Day.
Thurs, Oct. $500 Line Day.
Fri, Oct. A. Indiana and Illinois Day.
Sat-, Oct. 5-Traveling Mems Day.
Sunday Exposition Closed.
Mon, Oct. 7-Automobile Day.
Tues, Oct. s-Iowa and South Da-
kota Day.,
Wed, Oct. 9-Old Settlers Day.
Thurs, Oct. 10-Northen Pacific
Day.
Fri, Oct. 11-German Day.
Sat-, Oct. 12- Grand Harvest Festi-
val.
The new features this year include
an automobile show, kennel show, dairy
show, poultry show, domestic science
school and machinery display. There
will be an educational value attached
| to visit to the Exposition that can not
be computed.

not realizing that he is killing the goose
that lays the golden egg, and that he
will later be made to reimburse the
outside buyer by accepting an almost
unremunerative price for his product.
The following quotation from the re-
port of the Bureau of Animal Industry
for the year 1907 bears out the truth of
the statements just made, and shows
that wherever monopoly is established
as little as possible is paid to the pro-
ducer:
s'Reports show that, during the month
of July, in Kansas and Nebraska, where
monopoly appeared to be complete,
the farmers received only tic to 19c a
pound for butter fat, while in Northern
Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illi-
nois, where cooperative creameries
predominate, the price ranged from 25c
to 26c per pound. -
Statistics show that the number of
creameries in Kansas declined from 1873
in 1900 to 67 in 1905, while, in Mime
sofa, during the same period, there was
an increase of from 582 to 905. In the
latter state farmers were clear-visioned
enough to preceive wherein their true
interests lay, and were not beguiled by
the treacherous methods of the Centra-
lizers, who consequently failed to gain
foothold.
So far as number of creameries and
condition Of the young industry are
concerned, North Dakota is now in
about the same place as was Kansas in
1900, before the Centralizers got in
their deadly work. Montana has al
ready been captured by the large
interests and an organized attack is
now being made upon the industry in
this state. What are the farmers going
to do about it? Are they going to slay
the splendid and assured promise of the
future for all time for the sake of a
few cents profit which all experience
says can not be maintained? Or will
they rally in their own defense, reject
the insiGious advances of scheming out
siders, stand Loyalty behind their own
cooperative organizations, and insist
upon managing their own affairs to
their own ultimate profit and the en-
richment of their own neighborhood
and state?

Much Grain Will
Be Shipped Soon
Rain Delayed Threshing Ten Days
But Work Will Now be Rushed
Until all is Done

The bright sunshine was surely well
come on Wednesday after so many days
of cloudiness. Threshing was delayed
for ten days and some damage was
done to grain not stacked, but the loss
will be small compared to the good the
rain will do the crops next year.
Over $50 carloads of grain have
been shipped from this point. Many
farmers will store their grain for few
months as the prices are little too
low at the present time.

The Dear Women

The st. Louis Globe-Democrat said:
Idaho is one of the six states in which
women have the same privilege as men
at the polls. They vote for all elective
officers, from alderman to presidential
electors. The republican women of
that state, angered at the wrangles be-
tween the male republicans, democrats
and progressives, are to nominate a
state ticket of their own, and promise
to give the male tickets of all the poll
tical sects the fight of their lives. They
expect to get practically the entire
woman vote of the state, irrespective
of it's previous partisan divisions.
This development of the feminist
movement was not expected. One of
the arguments which used to be made
against woman suffrage was that the
women would be controlled by the male
members of their households, and that
the granting of the ballot to them
would leave the parties as they are
now, as regards relative strength.
Another argument was that the intro
duction of women into the political are
ma would give politics an emotional and
violent phase such as it has not had
ordinarily during the male ascendency.
But this Idaho new departure seems
to indicate that both those points are
wrong. Women not only have minds
of their own, but they give their atten-
tion to serious things and are opposed
to all wrangles over the smaller issues.
The old cant Of politics, measures,
and not men," seems to be taken liter
ally by the women Of Idaho. The next
movement, however, in which the wo-
men of that state cut loose altogether
from men, is understood to be confined
to state politics. On the question of
the presidency they will divide accord
ing to previous partisan predictions.
Idaho has had equal suffrage for six
teen years, and therefore the women
there know q ballot box when they see
it. AS they have been voting ever
since the first Bryan campaign, they
may be presumed to know the game
from the inside. That little state will
hardly get much attention from the
national committees Of any Of the part
les, but its experiment in the drawing
Of sex line by women in state politics
will be watched with some interest by
the country.

tion of the moisture content of the soil
on every plot of each of the state dem
onstration farms is made to depth of
three feet. The first determination of
season is made in May before the crop
has taken much of the soil moisture.
The second determine tion is made just
before the crop is harvested in late
July or early August. This year there
was moisture content equal to 1882
per cent of the soil weight. The larg-
est of any season since this work was
begun in the season of 1906. The soil

: The second determination in 1906 con-
tanned 1925 per cent water.
The second determination in 1907 con-
tained AL per cent water.
The second determination in 1908 con-
tanned 1898 per cent water.
The second determination in 1909 con-
tanned 1851 per cent water.
The second determination in 1910 con-
tanned 1857 per cent water.
The second determination in 1911 con-
tained 1903 per cent water.
This year there was over sixty tons
more water in the upper three feet of
soil at the harvest determination than
in any season since the demonstration
farms were started in 1906. The rains
of August have been above normal con-
sequently the soil moisture has not
been depleted much. What is true of
the moisture content of the soil on the
demonstration farms is probably true
of most of the farms of the state. This
makes the plowing easy. Early plow-
ing will conserve much of this water
for next years's crop. This extra wa
ter stored in the soil may take the
crop over a very hot period next sum-
mer. By plowing early and we'll the
soil water, so. saved, may make the
difference between a profitable and al
improbable crop next year. The sol
has moisture now. Save it for the crit
cal period in 1913.

Donating Newspaper Space

Inc MILWAUKEE, free IeSS puOASACo
the following editorial concerning the
giving away of newspaper space, end
it just about comedies with the situa-'
tion in good many towns and cities
besides Milwaukee. The Free Press
says:
Advertising publicity is what news
paper has to sell. 1t is as much a
commodity marked with price as the
wares in dry goods store. Yet thous-
ands of citizens who would not think of
asking a merchant to give them so
much as a necktie have no compunc-
tion in asking that an advertisement be
given them by newspaper. The
thought does not even enter their heads
that every inch Of space SO given, in
addition to providing them with the
most valuable kind Of service, actually
costs the newspaper in editorial labor,
in composition, in metal, in ink, in
stereotyping, in printing, ETC., very
definite sum of money.
The Free Press, like every other
Milwaukee paper, is liberal in giving Of
its space to further the cause of phi
lanthropic, public and other institutions,
enterprises and causes where the object
is nom commercial and conductive to
the public welfare.
In return it expects only apprecia-
tion appreciation Of the, fact that the
press is giving its most costly commo-
dity, q service 80 valuable that the
benefciaries could not afford to buy it
and without which their institution,
enterprise or cause could not exist, q
service which is always made at .
sacrifice to the news columns and at an
actual expense.
It expects recognition Of. the fact
that while halls. theaters and other
public places, bill posters and all the
other service enlisted in these causes
demand compensation with but few ex-
ceptions, it is the newspaper that gives
its wares free for the sake Of public
good. 5.,
Yet in the vast majority Of cases
this generous service is blissfully taken
for granted and the papers liberality
abused. That which Is purely favor
| is accepted as q matter Of course, and
what would be requests are couched as
demands. ~. III, IL

She is far from the land where hel

How the heart of the minstrel il

He had lived for his love, for his coun.

They were all that to life had en-.
twined him;
Nor soon shall the tears of his coun.
try be dried,
Nor long will his love stay behind

THE LAWRENCE STRIKE.

The labor situation in Lawrence
Massachusetts,. reached an acute stage
on Saturday when the officials of that
city took upon themselves to prevent
the strikers from sending their chill
dren to relatives in other towns where
they would be properly cared for until
the hostilities in Lawrence were
brought to close. The intervention
of the city authorities in this matter
would indicate that they were allied
with the employers against whom the
strike was directed and were seeking
to prevent the sending away Of the
children in order the quicker to force
the strikers to concede.
Without any regard whatever to the
justification for the strike, it is oh.
vious that the city authorities of Law
renee were acting beyond their au-
thority in attempting to prevent the
strikers from sending their children
out Of the city to be cared for. It ID
