COMMISSIONER FLINT DECLARES
I. DAIRYING is THE REAL Ii
SUCCESS MAKER.

There is an industry that is not
subject to failures; that brings re-
turns not once a year but 365 days
each year; enriches the soil, cleans
the land, plants groves, builds houses
and barns, pays taxes, interest and
mortgages accumulated during years
of crop failures; promotes thrift, econ
omy and prosperity by paying as we
20 and still leaves some cash in the
pockets; and that is the dairy indus
try" says Dairy Commissioners r. F,
Flint. II. +. .s 5;9S @s5s
clarifying promotes thrift by enab-
ling the farmer to use his time, which
is, to greater or less extent his cap
ital during all seasons of the year. &
TT promotes economy because dairy
stock is able to convert much of the
coarser feeds that are produced on a
farm that might otherwise go to waste
into valuable milk and cream.
"The dairyman is able to buy fol
cash and thereby reduce his expense
Of living. Investigation has shown
that person buying for cash will live
two days on what he would consume
| in one and oneihalf days is bought on
time. If buying on time, you also pay
interest On the purchase price. 81
q clarifying increases the value Of
j farm lands more rapidly than exclusive
grain farming, because it increases
the earnings of the land. .N%$
Successful daring necessitates di
versifed farming and lessons the dan
ger Of crop failure, which sometimes
1comes where one kind of crop is de
pended on. ilg
:, Dairying nehors the man to-, tn
farm, causes him to feel at home
which encourages him to put his hes
) efforts into his labor and by that to
: ken secures for himself and his fam
lily the best in return. Seems reason
able, doesn't it," s

REV. cLArTENBuRGf DEFINES HIS
POSITION ON HPlGGlNG" T.
49,. IN DEVILS LAKE,
Editor The Inter-Ocean:


So many rumors have reached my
ears about my attitude toward those
who break the prohibition law, and
those who are responsible for the en-
forcing of that law, that it seemed
fitting that I should state just where
II do stand in the matter. AS Christ
ian minister it is my duty to show all
Christian charity to all men, regard
less of what they are doing, or may be
personally. In showing this Christian
charity have tried to see the man
Vi or the woman that may be, and not al
\ ways tie man or woman that actually
is. BY treating all people in this way
/ I have made it possible for less char
4 liable people to critizise me- Their
Il argument seems to be, eff he is
friendly with a man who drinks, he
must endorse such things" Reason
4 ing on this ground I have been put
down as one who desires the blind
& pigging stage to continue. I want

Ito say that this reasoning is incor-
rect. 'Blind-pigging" has never been
encouraged by me, at any time. What
!. is more have never by word or

exist in our midst Vice and law
" breaking have never been encouraged

more severity than the so-called re-
spectacle man who sells it. Any one
who assists in any way to sell liquor
in the state of North Dakota is not
worthy of citizenship in the United
States, by so doing he sets himself
off as an undesirable citizen. If any
conduct, and preaching, since I have
resided in your midst have led any
one to believe that held opinions
other than what is written above, then
am afraid that / have proved the
exception to the rule. Example i. is
better than precept." My great fault
has been in trying to act as our Master
acted while on earth; to show love
toward all and try to help all. When
individuals hear the Gospel it is for
them to- apply~it to their own lives.
When sinners confess to me can ap-
ply proper penance but when they do
not confess to me I am unable to
guide them in their inner life OF out
ward conduct. No man in this com.
mtlnity is responsible to me for his ac-
tons or words, therefore it has been
my aim to go along without calling any
one to book, trusting my own life
might be such that it would have It'll

NECK BROKEN, CELEBRATES
Waldorf Miller, Hurt Last July,
Expects to Walk Soon.

The happiest young man In New Rochelle
on New Years Day was Waldorf Miller.
who has been living with broken neck
since July 3. 1911, and who has every pros
pect of soon being able to walk with the
aid of crutches.
Miller lives with his mother. Mrs. Anna
Miller. in Clinton Place. New Rochelle, and
their home was crowded with visitors yes
terday. who came to offer their New Years s
greetings TO the patient. 1t was months
ago that surgeons told him he would never
be able to get around and that his limbs
would remain paralyZed. He only laughed
at their statements, and declared he would
be moving his legs by New Years Day.
And he was able TO accomplish this feat on
the first day Of 1912. He was placed in a
wheel chair, and moved his legs until he
could almost straighten them out. His
mother wheeled him to the dinner table.
and he enjoyed his meal and sat with the
others until the dinner was finished.
II am getting along bully" said Miller to
one of his friends ''The doctors said |
would get no better. but they didn't know
my grit. This is a happy New Year for
me. and by next New Years / expect 10 be
