TO DISCONTINUE
SHOW THIS YEAR
NORTHWESTERN FAT STOCK Elk
POSITION NOT TO BE HELD
THIS SEASON.

st. Paul, May 6.-The Northwestern
Live Stock and Grain show which has
beer held at the stockyards in South
ST. Paul the past five years will be DIS
continued for the year 1912. At a
meeting of the Live Stock Exchange
Saturday the question of continuing
the show was brought up.
1t was the unanimous sense of the
meeting that it would be quite a hard
ship to the farmes to fit stock for the
show this year on account of the high
prices of feed and livestock.
The show during the past few years
has accomplished considerable in the
way of educational work through its
demonstrations and lectures, and the
members of the--exchange feel satis-
fed chat il has done a great deal of
good for the live stock interests in
this territory. AS soo as conditions
will warrant, it will likely be resum-

ORGANIZE new
e BOOSTER LEAGUE

.Manning,aN. D., May Gone of
the most enthusiastic gatherings in
this section of the state was held in
Manning when about 100 Dunn county
boosters assembled for the purpose of
perfeeting the organization of the
Dunn! County Development league.
This is a league affiliated with the
Missouri Slope Development league,
and the Dunn county boosters are the
fourth to organize. Sec. j, B. Slosson
of the Missouri Slope Development
league was i~n@attendance and stated
the purposes of the organization.
Officers elected were as follows:
President-George L. Grayson.
Secretary-E. K. Jenkins.
Treasurer-Harvey Owens.
There were seven vice presidents
elected for each county commissioner
district, and they will have charge of
the work of the league in their respec-
tive localities. Those elected were:
First District-L. E. George, G. C.
Laubaugh, F. e. Hollingsworth, I. M.
Davis, E. ]. Pletan, A. A. Leiderbach
and Charles Bugbee.
Second District-Joseph Hushka, w.
P. Owens, Andrew Lind, w. E. Smith,
w. P. Beatty, 1. L. Hughes and w. P.
Brooks.
Third District-c. N. Lee, H. r.
Young, p. Senff, John A. Johnson,
". A, earns and A. G, Void.
The officers decided to hold a county
agricultural street fair and a commit
tee was appointed to work out the
idea. This will probably be held just
before the second annual North Dakota
Industrial exposition at Bismarck,
Oct. / to IS, and many handsome and
valuable prizes will be offered by the
business mel Of the county for the
best specimens Of the of the
county exhibited. The puprose Of the
fair is to secure the best possible spec
linens of teh crops raised in Dunn
county to be exhibited at the North
Dakota Industrial exposition at Bis
marck.
The next meeting of the Dunn Coun-
ty Development league will be held at
Emerson, Saturday, May %, at which
time bylaws will be approved and
adopted, and further plans for the ex-
plotting of Dunn county's resources
will be discussed.

est efficiency Of agriculture within
her borders. The state should not on
ly foster agricultural education and re-
search, but exercise control over all
matters tending to the injury of agri-
culture I'D at the same time, collect
and disseminate information through
which farming interests may best be
promoted. We have all observed, and
too often, that the failure or partial
failure of crops. even for a single
season, spells hard times and general
business depression. North Dakota
craftsmanship, therefore, should be
~crystalized around agriculture as the
states, chief industry. There. is a
deep seated and positive demand for
agricultural statesmanship. No one
will question this fact.
That agriculture should be devel-
oped to the utmost goes without say
ing. The wealth lying latent in North
Dakota soil is sufficient to make The
state one of the w~eaIthiest and most
prosperous in the union. This wealth
can be drawn upon annually for indefi-
mite periods, without g9rious impair
ment, if farmers are trained to a
tice scientific agriculture. Otherwise,
exploitation of the soil will result In
depriving the state Of the prosperity
that is it's due.
The good farming movement is &
long step in the right direction. More
over, all the forces at its command
should be correlated with forces al
ready organized. The combination II
forces correlated should result III a
tremendous Improvement in our agri-
cultural methods. Agriculture, there
fore, must not be made secondary 10
any other interest. 1t is of more inn
portance than the temporary success of
political parties or factions and should
take precedence over even the growth
of cities. Develop and populate the
country and the cities will take care Of
themselves. If the soil OF Norta Da-
kota were farmed as intensively as
that of Japan, it would feed a popula-
ton of more than 10000, 900. If by
superior farm management, the yield
of wheat alone can be increased one
kernel per head, the added value of
wheat, to say nothing of other crops,
would more than pay all the expenses
of the state government, Facts and
figures without number can be adduc-
ed to show the value Of agricultural
enthusiasm over that Of lesser themes
that seem to monopolize the public att
tention. The time is opportune to
turn our energies more largely toward
the systematic development OF on one
great natural resource-agriculture

HEAVY HAT DOES INJURY.

Chicago, June "a hat that
weighs more than four or five ounc-

strain and excess baggage.
Mrs. Emmons Blaine, exclusively

tality, is authority for this statement.
She is said to have told her friends
that they were making a serious mis-
take in buying anything but four
ounce hats.
Comfort and good sense are in
volved in the buying of light hats,
she is quoted as saying.
Just now a little French hat of
black and white straw is being worn
by Mrs. Blaine to all sorts of after
noon affairs, and she is striking in it.
Mrs. Blaine may like hat ever so
well, but if it exceeds the weight
limit she doesn't buy it. All of her
hats are weighed before she buys
