MlNoT GIRLS UP IN ARMS.
Protest Against the Young Men Send
ing to Foreign Countries for Wives
insist Upon Leap Year Rights.

A few weeks ago, the Independent
published a communication from .
girls club, which was request for
husbands by a number of eligible
young women in Stockholm, Sweden.
Several young men are correspond
ing with the beautiful young women
Of the Northland and it is most like
ly that they will all find suitable
American husbands.
One of them writes: About . year
ago, young man who was raised
with US and who had gone to North
Dakota and made fortune farming,
came back to Sweden and married .
friend OF mine. He told the rest OF
US that there were lot Of nice young
men in North Dakota who would be
glad of the opportunity to get wife
from among a crowd of az pretty girls
as were were and he told US OF the
American Leap Year. After he and
his bride went to North Dakota, the
idea came to us to organize the club,
and study American ways and Ian
guage and be ready to take advan-
tage of the Leap Year when it ar
rived"
The letter referred to, has created
quite a furore among the bachelor
young men living on farms in this
vicinity. Two from Burlington called
at the Independent Office and they are
about to have thir anticipation real
lied, we understand.
The Minot girls evidently have be-
come alarmed for we are in receipt
Of the following communication:
"The undersigned desire to exer-
else their leap year privilege by pro-
testing against the men Of this coun-
try making such efforts to get wives
from Sweden, as shown by the many
letters you have received, asking for
the address Of the club in Sweden
whose members want North Dakota
husbands. In this connection, we de-
sire to state, that there are right
here in Mtnot young ladies' who in
personal appearance, education, cul-
ture. refinement, and In business,
cooking, and housekeeping ability, are
the peers Of any women in the world.
These young women have been resi-
dents here for years, and their per
sonal worth rs matter Of knowledge
to everyone. AS matter OF state
pride, We urge that North Dakota men
look to the girls right here at home
for wives, instead Of seeking women
in foreign country, about the dis
position, character and temperament
Of whom they have no knowledge

g Of the farmer himself We have
not yet learned that it is possible by
combining our resources to secure ia
cilities for carrying on our business
financially. This has been done In
Europe with marked success, partic'
llarly in France and Germany, where
the financial cooperative societies
nave made it easier to Withstand the
oppression of usurers and secure the
necessary funds for holding the farm
Perhaps the main reason why CO
operative efforts have not succeeded
in the United States to the degree
they have elsewhere is because the
emphasis has been placed upon the
declaration of dividends, when the
real purpose has been to improve the
conditions of industry for the mem

though there is ml:a to be gained
by the application OF tb JOLT judg :
ment, industry and honesty OF the
community toward the material bot
torment of the industry. 1t is posi-
Bile to secure more satisfactory
means of exchange, better facilities
for placing the product on the market
and for securing a steady advance in
community conditions. Some day the
farmer will realize that in co-opera-
ton he has an immense power that
can bring him practically anything he
wants. 1t will necessarily work only
when accompanied by common sense,
Judgment and industry, but these coll
pied with the principle will give to
the rural community all the advan-
tages that go with the city and many
of the things that the city can never
have.
So it is TO be hoped that the far
lrer, realizing something of what can
be secured through the means Of Co
operation, will begin to study, and
having studied, will begin to act with
his neighbors and associates toward
the accomplishment of community
purposes.

minder Of what is the cheapest
nv feed you can sow. It's Bronze
~ Corn MiIIet, or what they some
times call Hog MilIet. F. e. Cook Of
Logan, N. D., seeded 10 acres this past
season, and he threshed 400 bushels
Of seed, and has 3 l.2 tons Of fodder or
hay to the acre. This seed has the
same feeding properties as corn. 1t
will make just as solid fat as corn; the
seed gets ripe while the fodder or hay
is green. You cut it as soon as the
seed is ripe, and thresh it, and the fod-
der is the best kind Of cow iced. We
bought all Of this seed Of Mr.. Cook, and
we have cleaned it. 1t tests $50 GER
mination, and we are selling it at $l.50
a busheI 1t takes IL busheI to the
acre. What cheaper feed can you raiser
We can furnish you any kind Of north
ern grown seed just as cheap as any
dealer, and our seeds will all BE tested
for purity and termination by experts,
and will pass the North Dakota Pure
Seed Law.
We have small amount of Bronze
Grass seed THAT does not contain any
QUACk GRASS. This is very hard to
get, but We have got it, and it's north
ern grown.
In regard to Northern grown North
western Dent seed corn, we bot about
three times as much as we needed, but
according to the tests that have been
made we are not going to get any more
than 20 to 800 Of what we bot, be-
cause lot Of it does not como up to
the test. We will handle nothing but
what will show strong termination,
and as say 100 Of the seed corn will
have to be put into feed. We are test
ing each car separately now, and what
seed we have will be good, but it's Co.
ing to be scarce. Buy no seed corn
without testing it.
We will have in proper season, all
kinds Of grass and field seeds, and they
will all be Of the best, and the price will
be just as cheap as any Of the same
quality. Fodder corn we will have
plenty. Red Cob fodder IS the best.
We have some very choice Wilt Re-
sistant flax for sale. THIS was raised
from the seed we shipped in from Mon
tana, and was raised on breaking It's
very choice seed. Be very careful about
sowing this damp and green flax, that
was threshed after it showed.

Rasputin, however, restricted himself
to the religious sphere of action Those
who came near him conceived an idea
that he was a person of extraordinary
spiritual experience and power. Such is
the view held in the highest circles. One

practice the utmost secrecy and are

that the synod ID powerless before him.

ST PETERSBURG, March 10, 1912
Something like a cyclone has recently
swept through the Russian Church, and
near the center of it is again the mad
monk. Heliodorus. An end was sud
denly put 20 the monks amazing ex-
territoriality from the civil and &C.
clesiasucal power. For a presumptuous
telegram addressed to the emperor, ac-
cusing the holy synod Of heretical and
UncanCnicai proceedings. Heliodorus'
patron, Bishop Hermosenes. was dis
missed from membership in that body.
His refusal to depart for his diocese
IN Saratoff led TO its being taken away
from him. Finally both he and Hello
dorus. who had come UP from Tsaritsyn

mote lnonasteries in Grodno and Vlad-
mir provinces This order was en-
forced only after a fortnight Of insub-
ordinations IN which Hermogenes was
sustained by some of the most inf1uen-

circles.
