MANDAN, N. D.. Feb. 16-The fea
ture Of last evenings meeting thai
was Of the most interest outside o.
the announcing Of the scores for the
butter competitive tests. was the ap
pearance on the opera house stage Of
Fart, the famous cartoOnist Of the
Minneapolis Journal. From the time
his chalk talk began until he left the
floor there was one continuous and
spontaneous round Of laughter at the
many creations Of his facile crayon
Many and unique were the fantastic
caricatures drawn by this master In
cartooning, and the many people who
are being held up to the public in the
press were here shown in their vari
GUS expressions Of pleasure and dis.
pleasure. Among those cartooned
were some Of the leading lights OF
American politics and +ho stage. To
state that the meeting would have
been considered a success on his ap
pearance alone, is the sentiment OF
all those who were present.
At the opening of the evening ses.
sion an orchestra furnished some OF
the finest music that the people Of
Mandan have enjoyed for many days.
Immediately preceding Bart's place
on the program the announcement OF
the scores made by the butter com.
petitors was made. The display Of
butter was the finest ever seen at q
similar gathering in the state.
After the announcement of the
scores made by the contestants the
presentation of the two fine silver
trophies to the winners was present
ed by the Northern Pacific railway,
was made by Mr.. D. E. Willard in
most fitting terms.
In presenting the two beautiful sill
yer trophies he emphasized the point
that they were not intrinsfcally
worth much, but the value rested In
the feeling Of good will manifested
by a great company toward the sue
cessful endeavor after a high stand
ard in matters of every day life. He
also expressed the feeling that these
appropriations by the railroad company
were the outward expressious Of the
better intent which Will hereafter ex-
ist between the people who are striv.
ing for better conditions, and the
great corporations. .
More music was then enjoyed and
at the close, or as the evening drew
on to its close, a number Of the mem
bers Of the public and high schools
ave a home talent entertainment
which was heartily enjoyed by every
one present in the densely packed
hail.
Friday Morning, February Is.
Friday mornings program opened
with a choice selection by the or.
chestra after which Mr.. E. A. Green
wood, associated with the Johnson
stock farm at Marion, spoke at length
on "GradinE Cream and Paying Ac-
cording to Quality"
From this address one can note
that the great trouble experienced BY
the manager Of the creamery Is the

meridian ROAD
ORGANIZATION

GRAND FORKS, Feb 16.-The
North Dakota Division Of the Meri.
dan road was organized in the con-
ference called by the Grand Forks
Commercial club being attended by
nearly seventy-f1ve representative
business men and farmers Of the
counties of the Red river valley.
Officers were elected this afternoon
and are as follows:
President-E. Y. Sarles. Hillsboro.
Secretary-treasurer-C. w. Graves,
Grand Forks.
Members Of the executive commit
tee. State Engineer T. r. Atkinson,
Bismarck; E. J. Babcock, university.
One member from each, county to be
nominated by delegates from each
county.
Vice presidents are to be one from
each valley county to be selected by
county delegates.
State Engineer T. R. Atkinson,
who is in attendance took the floor
at that time and said that while his
department had no authority over the
road work, still he was very anxious
to do everything possible to bring
about the improvement Of the state
highway system: -,
In discussing good roads work that
has been done, he said that the coun'
ties which have adopted the county
highway superintendent system have
reaped good results during the past
year. Five counties took that step,
and he has reports Of three.
He also urged the cash payment OF
road taxes, and also the amendment
to the constitution granting state aid
in road building work.

classifying and paying for the cream
on the close test basis. Some people
who bring in cream have left 1t stand
ing in the open for some time and
have thus allowed it to become
soured. and when this begins and the
acid appearance shows itself. the
quality of the product quickly deter
iorates. This patron who permits
this condition to arise, feels ag'
grieved that he should not receive
the same price and the same test as
a more careful neighbor When
once he gets this idea he begins to
think that the manager and buyer
are in league against him and he be-
comes in common parlance sore
And through this one thing alone,
the success or failure Of creamery
Is made apparent Many other splen.
did and telling points were made In
this address.
"Up.To-Date Butter Making
Methods" was the subject chosen by
.. A. Storvick, federal creamery ex-
pert, who lives in the center Of the
dairy section of Minnesota. He gave
one of the finest addresses of the
whole convention, and delivered 1t In
such succinct language that every
one present could understand and ap-
ply the principles laid down.
He laid stress upon the change
from the old methods of making but
ter, into the new. The sanitary con-
dition of the modern creamery was
brought out in comparison with the
old style place where refuse collected
in the hooks and corners. making ex-
cellent places for the propagation Of
germs that produced deleterious ef-
feet upon the product.
He supplemented his speech with
numerous word pictures of the differ
ence between the standard of santa
ton set by Uncle Sam, and that set
by many Of the home companies. also
the degrees of the change from the
common low standard to the higher
as used by the greater part of the
creameries In North Dakota and Min.

Waldron traced the origin Of alfalfa
the various kinds, the conditions most
favorable to its growth and the best
methods of cultivating It.
Afternoon Program.
The afternoon program was opened
by several musical selections after
which Prof. Thomas Shaw, associate
editor Of the Dakota Farmer, spoke
on Breeding Dairy Cattle"
This was the first address upon
this topic that North Dakotans ever
heard from Prof. Shaw as he usually
confines himself to dry farming. His
remarks were listened to with inter-
EFT by prospective dairymen as we'll
- by those who are now owners OF
dairy herds.

Woman Finally Recovers
From Nervous Breakdown

Impoverished nerves destroy many
people before their time. Often be-
fore sufferer realizes what the
trouble is, he is on the verge of a
complete nervous breakdown It
is of the utmost importance to keep
your nervous system in good con-
iition, as the nerves are the source
Of all bodily power. Mrs. Anna
kounz, 211 Mechanic St., Pueblo,
Colo, says:
For many years I suffered from
nervous prostration; l was unable
to do any house work and doctors
failed to help me. Remedies l
tried from druggists did not do
me a particle of good. A neighbor
told my husband about
DR.. Miles Nervine
and he procured bottle. After the
first few doses I showed a marked
improvement and after taking two
bottles l was entirely cured. have
been perfectly we'll for years and
cannot praise DR.. Miles Nervine
too highly"
II you are troubled with loss of
appetite, poor digestion, weakness,
inability to sleep; if you are in
general run down condition and
unable to bear your part of the
daily grind of life, you need some
thing to strengthen your nerves.
You may not realize what is the mat
ter with you, but that is no reason
why you should delay treatment.

THE PLATFORM
The principle features of the plat
form we're:

form we're:
Tariff. Reform
1--WE declare it to be a fundamental
principle of the Democratic party thai
the Federal Government, under the
Constitution has no right or power to
impose or collect tariff duties except
for the purpose of revenue. and we de-
mand that the collection of such taxes
shall be limited to the necessities of
Government honestly and economical
ly administered,
"The high Republican tariff is the
principal cause of the unequal distri.
button of wealth; it is system of tax
alton which makes the rich richer and
the poor poorer; under its operations
the American farmer and labor man
are the chief sufferers; it raises the
cost of the necessaries of life to them,
but does not protect their product or
wages.
1.-THE farmer sells largely in free
markets and buys almost entirely in
the protected markets. In the most
highly protected industries, such as
wages of the laborers are the lowest
pdl0 Ill ally VI OuT we
denounee the Republican preteuse on
that subject and assert that the Ameri-
can wages are established by COMPETE
tive conditions, and not by the tariff.
"We favor the immediate downward
revision of the existing high and, in
many cases, productive tariff duties,
insisting that material reductions be
speedily made upon the necessaries of
life. Articles entering into competi-
ton with trusts controlled products
and articles of American manufac-
ture, which are sold abroad more
cheapley than at home, could be put
upon the free list.
1--WE recognize tibet our system of
tariff taxation is intimately connected
with the business Of the country, and
we favor the ultimate attainment of
the principles we advocate oy legis-
lation that will not injure or destroy
legitimate industry.
"We denounce the action of Presi-
dent Taft in vetoing the bills to re-
duce the tarin in the cotton, wooden
metals and chemical an schedules
and the farmers free list bills, all OF
which was designed to give immediate
relief to the masses from the eXactiOnS
of the trusts.
''The Republican party, while prom
Using tariff revision, has shown by its
tariff legislation that such a revision
is not to be In the peoples interests
and, having been faithless to its pied
ges of 1908, it should no longer enjoy
the confidence of the Nation. We APP
peal to the American people to sup
port US in our demand for tariff for
revenue only

RHODE ISLAND WHITE BREED
Obtained BY Crossing Partridge Cochin
Female With White Wyandot<e
MaIe-Hold Their Own.

The Rhode Island Whites originated
In Rhode Island several years ago. and
have been bred and offered to the pub
lie as pure-bred fowls for the past
seven or eight years. After giving
them fair test. am more than
pleased with the results. They were
obtained by crossing a Partridge Co
chin female with White Wyandotte
male. Pullets from that cross were
matched to Cochin male. and to this
lot OF chicks was used a. rose comb
White Leghorn. hence the origin OF
the Rhode Island Whites, says writer
In the Atlantic Poultry Journal.
This Is a grand new breed Of the
future, which Is one-eighth White Wy
andotte, three-eighths Partridge Co
chin and one-half White Leghorn. Test
ed side by side with the Reds. they
have never yet failed to hold their
own in size or reproducing quail
tier They are great foragers. and 1t
matters not whether their mother Is
allowed to run with them. they will
wander far out into the yards or runs
In search OF insects, etc. They do not
stay around waiting to be fed, but are
out and gone by the first peep of day,
are one of the hardest breeds l have
tried, and l have tried several.
The chicks grow very rapidly. ma
ture early, and, therefore, begin laying
when rather young. Having low.
close comb. they Withstand the ex-
treme cold, which makes them one OF
the best winter layers, and more suit
able for the northern states than The
large-combed varieties. They will
stand confinement web. making the ,
valuable for those with only a small
lot, and are good settlers, but not per-
sistent They make extra good moth
ers that are easily handled.
Rhode Island Whites are excellent
table fowls. making fine broilers and
roasters. easy to dress. which Is a
great feature with the housekeeper.
Their beautiful white plumage, bright
red combs, watties and ear lobes. clean
yellow legs, neat. well-shaped bodies,
together with their meat and egg-pro-
ducing qualities. makes them one OF
the worlds best general purpose fowls
and money makers.

CUT OUT THE PEACH BOREn
Best Way to Fight Destructive In
sect 10 to Prevent Entering Tree
by Use of Solution.

Take look at your peach and plum
of peach tree borers. A fine wood dust
at the base Of the trees is the sign.
If It's there it's time for you to COM
bat one of the most destructive or
chard pests.
The borer works beneath the bark
is the larvae Of q wasp-like moth,
which flies during the day time from
the middle Of June to the middle Of
September, and lays its eggs on the
bark at the base of the trunk In
few days the little grub or worm
matches from the egg and eats its way
through the bark to the soft inner
layer, where 1t feeds and lives during
the fall, winter, and spring. In June
and midsummer they become dormant
and transform into moths.
When the borers are once under the
bark the best thing to do is to remove
them with sharp knife blade or point
ed wire, say the horticulturists at the
Kansar Agricultural college. It
doesn't injure the tree to cut the bark
with iengthwise Sits. but cutting
should never be crosswise Fall and
spring are the best times for remov-
ing the borers.
The best way to fight the destruc-
tive peach tree borer IL to prevent
their entering the tree by coating the
bark with solution Of boiled lime and
sulphur. This coating Ia made by
boiling together. for an hour, one
pound Of quick lime. with two pounds
Of sulphur. and from one to three gal
Ions Of water. This should be diluted
TO about four or FIVE gallons. Then
paint, wash or spray 1t on the trunks
of the trees near the base.
Make this application after the
borers In the trees have been killed.
1t will prevent the moths from laying
eggs there for some time. This treat.
mens is good for plum trees as well
as peaches.

SETTLERS TO GUST INDIANS
Opening Of Navajo Reservation ID
White Men Urged by New Mexico
Contains 100000 Acres.

Santa Fe, N. M.-White men have
set their eyes on the riches of the
Navajo Indian Reservation, and 1t may
not be long before the proud tribe
will be swallowed by civilization.
The initial movement for the open.
ing of the Navajo Reservation to set /
tlement has been taken In memorial
which the Legislature Of New MexicoI
has sent to the President and Conf
gress. Utah and Arizona are also in |
volved, and powerful private interests
will undoubtedly help.
The New Mexico memorial sets outI
that the Navajo Reservation containsl
about 100000 acres of land. AS theI
tribe numbers less than two thousand
members, according to the best fgures]
obtainable, this would give 1,2O0 acrea]
apiece to the members. 1t is declared
that this allotment Is unjust.
The reservation Is known to be rich
in minerals. White men who have
been at the government station tell
of gold and silver ornaments they
have seen among the Navajos and OF
tales of large deposits that have been
worked by the Indians in their crude
way. Many white men have tried to
get permission to develop the mtnesi
but they have met with refusal. Some
prospectors who have ventured within
the reservation limits In search Cd
gold have disappeared, and cowboys
have told of seeing Navajos wearing
their clothing.
There is also much land within the
reservation that might be turned to
agriculture. Many opportunities are
offered for building dams to irrigate
what is now desert country, and the
soil will yield bountifuily.
The Navajos will not let themselves
be dispossessed willingly. They are
regarded by men who know Indiana
as the proudest tribe in the country!
They have kept to themselves in all
the years Of invasion by the white
men and there have been few inter-
marriages.

STATE RIGHTS.

The plank on rights of the States
calls for the maintenance of the full
strength and integrity of the three CO.
ordinate branches OF Federal Govern
menl-the executive, legislative and
judicial. The States should be pesmit-
ted the full exercise of their reserved
sovereign powers.
"There is no twilight zone between
the nation and the State in which ex-
plotting interests can make refuge
from both," this plank says. The ex-
preston is pet phrase OF William j.
Bryan.
INJUNCTION LAWS.
The platform favors post roads 1t
affirms it's declarations in the 1908
platform in regard to labor. 1t holds
there should be modification of the
injunction laws. 1t also recommends
department of labor with cabinet
officer.
PANAMA CANAL.
1t also favors legislation forbidding
the use of the Panama Canal by ships
owned or controlled by railroad car
riers engaged in transportation COM
petitive with the canal.
PURE FOOD AND PUBLIC HEALTH.
A pure food and public health plank
declares for the union and strengthen
ing of the various governmental
agencies relating to pure food, quar-
antine, vital statistics and human
health. This department should be
administered without partially or dis
elimination in favor or against any
school of medicine.
The civil service law should be hon
estly and rlgidly enforced.
REFORM IN LAWS.
Legislation is favored to promote
law reform.
IMPERIALISM DENOUNCED.
''The policy of Imperialism, in the
Philippines is denounced. 1t favors
the declaration of the independence
of the islands.
Arizona and New Mexico are well
coined to the sisterhood OF States.
The people of Alaska should have
the full enjoyment of the rights and
privileges of territorial form of gov
eminent, the platform contends.
The Democratic members of the Sen
ate are commended for the termination
uf the Russian treaty of 1882.
Deep interest is expressed in the
Panama Canal Exposition to be held
| in San Francisco in 1915. The adop-
ton of laws in the various States is
| recommended making it an otfense to
discriminate against the uniform OF
the United States Army and Navy.
