THE STUFF WOULD BE OFF.

LIE O1OEC NOOLD De OFf.
When the Roosevelt word was first
passed around and.th idea: that he
might sbss a eaahdidate for nomination
to the Office Of President of the United
States was heralded far and wide, there
was a wall went up from a few who
look upon eevrything that is against
their way of thinking and they had the
nerve to say that it was a stalwart
move. Even worse than this it was
claimed by few that the movement
was only to dissipate the chances Of
LaFollette in North Dakota, since this
state was the first to announce its
choice through the presidential pref
erence at the primary. The World,
since the start has maintained that
Roosevelt was the proper, choice for
president, and still maintains this view
along with thousands If Others, hut at
that, it has never climbed the feeble
frame Of LaFollette. Al no time has
The World spoken of this candidate in
anything but kindly terms, and at no
time did it have any flea, or believe
that the people who wer advancing
the Roosevelt movement in North Dako-
ia had any idea Of dissipating LaFol-
lette IS chances by move that was not
sincere. Without saying tnything re-
garding LaFollette's chances now, we
are pleased to note that the Roosevelt
move is continued with greater enthus-
iasm, and had it ben started to wipe
LaFollette off the map there would be
no need of this. The move participated
in by all who are conscious of right
goes on without a hitch, but if the cry
that a few Of the adherents of LaFol.
let set up at the start was all true, the
Roosevelt boom would have been drop-
ped, nothing more said; the stuff would
be off.

THE BENEFITS.

Just at the present time there is con-
siderable talk about the number OF
benefits for this, that and the other
thing that are to take place in Devils
Lake within the next week and accord.
ing to many it is heavy strain on the
pocket-book. The fact that all the
benefits come at about the same time
is the greatest drawback. perhaps, that
the average citizen has to contend with.
but even at that, the citizen must re-
member that this year has been far bet
ter than last}syear in the number of
benefits. All; bave been few and far
between and the very fact that it hap
pens that an come close together should
not decrease the patronage of any one,
for all are worthy. perhaps more wor-
thy, than any that have been encoun-
tered. It is indeed sad plight for
any citizen to miss contributing to 2
worthy cause and the fact that all the
benefits happen to come close together
does not make any one Of them less
worthy, and while The World can not
say for the future. we are frank. to -ad-
NIT, there will be few more taking
place in 1912, and it is also a certain
ty that the prospects of the citizens
being swamped with contributions are
not SO great this year as last.
No more worthy cause than that of
the fire ladies could be imagined. The
boys who volunteer 10 fact all kinds Of
weather are deserving. That they
should have home properly furnished
is essential and the fact that they DO
not ask anything without giving some
thing in return is to their credit. Thus
The World believes the fire laddies
should be given liberal patronage at the
Ninth Annual Ball which takes place
tomorrow evening.
Not detracting from the cause Of the
fremen is the Elks' benefit for the
new temple to be erected in this city.
Queen Zephra, produced by one hundred
and seventy-fve local people shows the
magnitude of the production. The Elks
never do things by halves and on this
particular occasion they, too, promise
value received for the worthy cause for
which the benefit is given.
Last but not least is the band con-
cert next week. A band is a lasting
benefit to any city. It is the most won
derful asset that city can have. Dew
ills Lake is on the road to have the
best band in North Dakota and under
the able dictatorship of Prof. Maxwell
it is fast being whipped into shape for
the first concert on Tuesday night Of
next week. This, too, should be liber,
ally patronized.

PIONEERS IN NORTH DAKOTA
ARE Satisfied WITH CON-
DITIoNs. .

eastern portion of Richland county, the
point in North Dakota nearest the
twin cities, is enjoying an unusual de-
gree of business activity. Prosperity
is felt in every quarter. Merchants are
buying freely for the increased trade,
and are seeing their way clear TO-
handling substantial stocks the ensuing
season.
The farmers have not experienced q
crop failure for several years and are.
carrying their prosperity to the towns
and villages. Trade is brisk, money is
free and cash deals are the order Of the
day. Many commercial travellers de-
clare their business to be better in this
section than elsewhere in their terri
tory.
Farms are being improved in many
ways-new implements and tools are
added, and plans are being laid to in
crease, the productiveness Of the soil.
Already the activities Of the early
spring are everywhere apparent; opti-
mism is in the air, and both farmers
and business men are enthusiastic over
the outlook.
More Disqualification.
More diversified and moro intensive
farming is rapidly becoming feature
Of the more systematic mode Of agri-
culture. Farmers have become students
of the soil, its possibilities and perplex-
ities-they are reading with keen in
terest the state and national bulletins
of experiment stations and have adopt
ed the modern methods that have plac-
ed and are holding their farms in the
increasing-in-value class. Stock rails
ing is receiving its due proportion Of
development, and many breeders are
getting substantial annual revenues
from the sale Of horses raised on thsir
farms.
The growing Of alfalfa is to be thor.
oughly tested this year. It is thought
that strain Of alfalfa, hardy to this
climate, will be found in the Minneso.
ta-grown Grimm variety, and promi--
nent farmers and land owners will at
tempt it's culture. Alfalfa has never
been grown to any extent in this Sec
ton, and the result Of the experiments
will be watched with interest.
Country and Towns United.
In this county farmers and business
men are working together in harmony
for the best interests Of their commun-
tiles and the promotion and continue.
ton Of their mutual prosperity.
In the towns commercial clubs are
taking in the farmers at q reduced
rate. The purpose Of these clubs is not
TO further thesgrowfh ef L. community
SO much as to promote q harmonious
spirit among its citizens in dealing
with public questions and in maintain.
ing and increasing the general pros
perity and development.
& From these organisations the farmers
are reaping their share Of the benefits.
Among the proposed industrial IN.
dertakings Of interest to this locality
is the extension Of the SWahpeton-'
Breckenridge electric railway, which
will traverse portions of Richland coun-
ty and those to the east in Minnesota.
This would benefit part Of the coua-
try that is now long distance from
railroad facilities, as it is planned to
establish warehouses and elevators at
convenient distances.

After tracing the growth Of the
National Fire Protection association
from its inception sixteen years ago,
the difficulties it had TO contend with,
and the work it has performed, Mr..
Wentworth said in part:
we Americans are not psychology

with the idea that the Of
our country are unlimited, and for
that reason we cannot realize how we
are being impoverished by fire waste.
We cannot comprehend that fire waste
touches the pocket of every man, Wom-
an and child in the nation. The pro-
fiigate burning every year Of $250,OOo,

DAY EvENlNG-MUcH INTER
EsT SHOWN IN FORUM FOR
PUBLIC DISCUSSION.

The senate of the Y. M. G. A. is the
name given to what promises to be a
source Of much profit to those who
are fortunate enough to get into this
organization. The object Of this So
ciety is to give the young men an OPP
p~ortunity to secure a knowledge Of the
vital questions Of the day; to learn
the principles of parliamentary law;
to secure practice in all kinds of plat
form work including, extemporaneous
argument, conversational debate, etc.
A vital need has been felt for work
of this character and by the many In
quiries a full membership is assured.
In order to give every member an
opportunity for practice the society
will be limited at first to twenty-fiv
active members. Others who wish TO
be admitted will place their applica-
ton in the hands of Educational Di-
rector Pixler or the clerk of the SEN
ate.
A very pleasing, as well as instruc-
tive feature, will be the parliamentary
drill. This is so arranged that each
member will represent a certain state
of the union and will be the senator
from that state.
The senate is fortunate in having
as their critic Professor Brown, dean
of Fargo college. His extended ex-
perience in all matters pertaining TO
public speaking and debate as we'll as
being an authority on parliamentary
law will afford the society the best
possible advantage in correcting any

not be great interest taken in this
very profitable work and the first
