that they should meet together and
publicly acknowledge their depend

Peaches Will Be Few.

Much to the surprise of most peo-

peaches in this county this year un-

the orchard Sunday afternoon, and
makes the statement that all of the
peaches have been killed by the
cold snap. He says that if he gets
fruit from ten trees out of the
orchard that he will be doing well.

ROOSEVELT DENIES CHARGE
Says He Did Not Suppress Data as 10
Harvester Trust.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, April 26.-"The
talk about the suppression of the re-
port is nonsense" said Colonel Roose-
welt in statement setting forth his
connection with the International
Harvester company case. Colonel
Roosevelt asserted that at meeting
with his cabinet, at which Mr.. Taft
was present, it was decided that the
bureau of corporations be instructed
to complete its investigation of the
harvester company before any suit
was instituted, following the usual
course Of procedure in such cases. Mr..
Taft. he added, concurred in this de-
cision.
During the remainder OF his admin
istration, period of a year and half,
Colonel Roosevelt said, the commits
sioner of corporations was unable to
complete his investigation. He said
that in the three years of the present
administration Mr.. Taft at any time
could have ordered the attorney gen.
eral to bring suit against the harvester
company, or could have requested the
commissioner of corporations to
hasten his investigation, but that Mr..
Taft had taken no action, except that
now taken five days before the Mas

Potatoes and all kinds Of root crops
and other garden vegetables grow in
the same luxuriant manner. Small
fruits are successfully grown on all
the older ranches. Few have had fruit
trees planted a sufficient length of
time to know how well they will do,
although 1 have heard Of a few small
orchards In the older parts OF the

ANOTHER CANAAN
Indiana Boy Who Recently Moved
West Tells Of Bumper Crop
Yields Of Montana.
Lewistown, Montana

To the Editor
In my recent letter about Montana,
l told about the climate and SOIL the
health and wealth, the social condi-
lions and the rapid development and
progress of this western country. In
this letter shall tell Of the varieties
Of crops and stock raised, of their
quantity and quality.
When Moses sent strong men to spy
out the land Of Canaan they returned
with this report; 1--WE came unto, the
land whittier thou sentest us, and sure
ly it floweth with milk and honey, and
this is the fruit of it." What could
have been more convincing? And any
one of these valleys in central
Montana is surely another Canaan.
Authentic crop figures for Montana
when compared with those of other
states, are astounding and give this
country rare prestige as an agricul-
ture state. For instance note this:
Montana, in competition with all the
states Of the Union at the American
Land and Irrigation Exposition, New
York City. Nov. 3rd to 18th 1911, won
the following first prizes for staple
crops:
LIST Prize, 100000 cup for best winter
wheat.
LIST Prize, 100000 cup for best oats.
LIST Prize, $1,50O00 cup for best barley.
LIST Prize. s, 100000 cup fer bet alfalfa.
Statistics are sometimes dry read
ing but those who c-e interested in
knowing tie facts as to what crop
conditicrs 2ctually are in Montana
will wax enthusiastic over the posi-
bilities open to them when they study
the government figures compiled from
the United States government crop re-
ports showing the comparative yields
of wheat, oats and barley in Montana
and in other OF the leading agricultu-
raj states for the ten year period 1901
to 1911; and learn how Montana over
shadows her sister states in agricul-
tural accomplishments.

What One State Has Done for the
Country.

One of the stock arguments
against state laws of a restrictive
nature is that such laws place the
state that passes them at a COM
mercial disadvantage. One state
passes a law prohibiting the en-
ployment of children of tender age
In factCries-a humane law; a law
that most civilized countries have
had on their statute books for
quarter of a century; a law of
which all right-thinking people see
the need. At once a plant goes
up from the manufacturers of that
state urging that the law be re-
pealed because since its enactment
they have been unable to compete
with the manufacturers in the same
line of business in neighboring
states where child-labor is still per-
mitted Or, it may be, the state
passes a law forbidding women to
work more than ten hours a day.
AGAIN plOtcSI IL IdlScU hc
argument that a righteous, much
needed law will drive business from
the state is a powerful one and has
Eeen responsible for many of the
social and economic ills from which
VIE are suffering. Nevertheless,
there have been, and are, states
that are willing to make some CON-
mercial sacrifices for principles
sake. North Dakota has what is
called "net weight law" requir-
ing all package goods to be plainly
labeled with the net weight of the
contents certainly a reasonable
law and one to which. no honest
manufacturer should object. Never
| theless, the National Biscuit Com
pany, one of the largest concerns
of its kind, preferred to with
draw from the state rather than
comply with that law. Possibly
the company believed that by the
withdrawal of its products-and,
more important yet, its advertis-
ing-from North Dakota, the net
weight law would be overthrOwn.
In this instance the manufacturer
made mistake; the law was not
overthrown. On the other hand. it
resulted in the building up within
the state of North Dakota of large
plants where biscuits were made
from the North Dakota wheat and
sold to the people of North Dakota
under truth-telling labels. After
about six years of its shortsighted
policy. the National Biscuit CON-
panv, doubtless realizing that it
had cut off its nose to spite Its face,
reentered the state of North Dakota
a few months ago with its products
labeled in accordance with the re-
quirements of the state law. Nor
Is such labelling exclusively for the
North Dakota trade. In every
state in the Union this company's
products now have printed on the
carton not only the net weight Of
the biscuits. but also-what is
more than the law requires-the
number of biscuits In each pack
age. The people of the whole United
States. therefore, now know just
how much they are getting for their
money when they purchase this
brand of crackers. According to
The Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association the state of North
Dakota is to be thanked for 1t.
