A Difference in Buttons

Buttons make the supreme and mysteri- ous separation of the sexes. And but tonholes, If as a man you will go through your clothes. from overcoat to the under clothes, you will find that the buttons are on the right and the buttonholes on the left.
 But you will notice that the feminine garments close up 10 the other way, and that the woman demands her buttonhole to correspond. Feminine clothes fold from right to left. maculine from left to rigAs, And there the problem must be left byA puzzled commentator.

Pfnehot at Valley City

Clifford Pinchot, who is touring
this state this week in the interest
of the Roosevelt presidency. is
said to have had a large audience
in Valley City. The Progressives
of that city and county were we'll
satisfied with the outcome of the
meeting as they believe it has ac.
centuated the LaFollette cause
rather than done it damage, be-
cause the prominence taken in the
meeting by the Stalwarts whom
the Progressives have been fight
ing for the last several years
seemed to them incongruous with
the sentiments of the speaker and
doubt in their honesty of purpose
has not been overcome by their
applause for the Progressive senti-
ments expressed and their ap-
parent loyalty to the man in whose
behalf Mr.. Pinchot is in the state.

the state of Wisconsin. He says
LaFollette is a man who treats
farmers and railroad men alike
and brought out the fact of the
back taxes that the railroad CON-
panies had to pay when compelled
to do so by LaFollette. Erchhorst

Test Your Seed
! Corn This Spring
Corn Can be Made The Main Pro-
duct Of This State If Good Seed
IS Chosen

A large portion of the seed corn
offered for sale or on the farms in
this state will not grow. This
makes it important for all farmers
to test their seed corn early. Buy
all corn on test, then test again to
be sure the terminating power is
retained. Corn should be tested
whether purchased from seed
houses or taken from the farm
grown seed. Planting corn Of low
terminating power will result in
disappointment in stand and yields,
Test corn whether it is shelled
or is on the ear. The ear test will
enable one to select the highest
testing ears in producing this
years. crop. Ears which show
poor terminating power or low
vitality may be used to a certain
extent in the field crop by sowing
in drills for fodder corn.
Corn which will test Is per cent
or over showing a strong vitality
should be retained this year for
seed. It will be advisa BILE in many
localities to plant corn even though
it tests as low as 50g Such corn
should be sown in drill rows rather
than checked in. It should be of
some good variety.
Among the best varieties of corn
recommended for North Dakota,
is the Northwestern Dent. Golden
Dent. White Cap Yellow Dent.
Gehu Triumph, and Mercer, The
Flint varieties should be- made use
: Of in all northern sections of the
state The Dent varieties are
especially valuable in the southern
and southeastern parts Of the state.
Always plant a variety which will
mature under the conditions in
your locality. Maturity is Of the
utmost Importance.
The seed corn situation is a
difficult one. Every effort should
lfbe made by the North Dakota
farmers to maintain last years
acreage. If it is necessary to
plant the acreage to low test corn,
let it be Of a good variety. Know
first, what your test is so as to
determine. the amount which
should be sown to the acre. Buy
your seed corn early. So far as
possible obtain seed grown in
your own locality. Test it SO that
you may know what you are plant
ing and can govern yourself ao-
oordingiy.

A Future Potato Market

O. M. johnson, who is buying
potatoes for the Farrell Co., of
Princeton, Mimi. bought two car
loads Of very choice Burbank spuds
from the Schroeder Bros, which
he declared to be the finest and
most Uniform large potatoes which
he has handled this past season,
says the McCIusky Gazette. They
brought seventy cents per bushel
on the track. We understand that
this lot yielded l25 bushels per
acre. 81. B. Curtis and Beck &
Thelen sold enough to fill several
cars which we're also shipped out
this past week. Mr.. johnson told
the news man that if farmers in
Northern Minnesota could raise
over three hundred bushels of
mufphles to the acre on light
sandy loan, that judging from the
larger superior ones he has just
bought in this city, that this hea-
Wy black soil properly titled, with
a good selection of seed, planted
at the proper time should produce
nearer $40 bushels to the acre.
Farmers in his home country raise
as high as 100 acres in a patch
making specially of potato cul.
ture; getting often ten thousand
dollars for one seasons crop. II
you have no farmers club. get
your neighbors together at the
school house and have a potato
rally aud talk it over. An inter-
change of ideas is always good.

in Wilton. These gentlemen had
plans and specifications for the
new passenger depot which will

will recommend first class build
ing 88x30, with two waiting rooms,
an Office. a freight room and cold
storage.
The building will probably be
situated on the east side of the
main track facing the town. It
will be electric lighted and heated
by a furnace.
A round house. coal dock and
water tank will also be constructed.
Just as soon ns the frost leave

Railroads Will Build

w llllstOu. ~. H.. MdICU d.
Judging from present Indications,
Mckenzie county, familiarly
known as the "Island Empire"
.wing to the fact that it is nearly
surrounded by three large rivers,
will soop be crossed by one rail.
road and perhaps tapped by three.
The activities of the surveyors
have reused the hopes of the resi-
dents to high pitch of expect
ancy. Three crews of surveyors
have crossed the river from here
and have taken up the preliminary
work in several parts of that
county. Although little informa-
ton is given out, it is known that
the surveyors arc equipped for q
long job, and that their principal
object is undoubtedly the locating
of the most feasible route for the
Lewiston cutoff from Sidney,
Mont, to point just east Of the
Missouri river where it will join
the right of way already secured.
The 500 line also has several
crews of surveyors running pre-
liniminary surveys through seve-
raj parts of the country. Evidently
their line. if constructed, will be,
extended from Ryder or Plaza,
crossing the Berthold reservation
toward the southern end. The
500 already has survey complet-
ed into Williston.
And from the south side of Nc.
Kenzie county the Northern Pa
cific is making several surveys and
it seems almost certain that that
road will construct railroad as
far north as the county seat Of
Mckenzie county. or possibly to
WiIliston. 1t is also reported, on
what railroad men consider good
authority that the present title Of
the Northern Pacific will pass out
of existance and that the road will
be known as the northwestern
Pacific. In other words the great
transcontinental railway system,
planned and executed by Henry
Willard, the great German financier
after having passed through every
stage Of financial disaster until it
was brought to the front and plac-
ed on firm financial basis by G.
$. Mellen and later taken over by
Howard Elliott, will pass out Of
existance in name only.
Strange as it may seem, this re-.
port did not emanate from the
''switoh shanty," the source Of .
great many Of the reported chang
es in railway management, but
comes direct from bulletins said
to have been issued BY the North
ern faci6o, ordering that after 3
