I love Fargo, and Fargo people. and
believe that if this city is to have a
satisfactory future, We need to pull
together n not apart. Mr.. Gin is
a stranger to us. 1 believe his in
tentions are entirely worthy, as he
sees them, but he is very greatly mis-
taken, in my opinion, as to the atti-
tude of the majority Of the thinking
people of this city. The core Of
christianity is a spirit of love, not
hate. Frank w. Pearson.

among well established farmers should blind us to the fact that lack of capital is preventing a development or the na- tion.s agricnItural resources and an aue- quate increase of the land under eulelfa. ton; that agricultural production IS iase falling behind the increase in popuialion, and that, in fact although these well established farmers are maintained in fn- creasing prosperity because of the nat ural increase in population, we are not developing the industry of agriculture, We are not breeding in proportionate numbers a race of independent and 1nde- pendence-loving landowners, for a HACK of which no growth of cities can com pensate. Our farmers have been our mainstay in times of crisis, and in future 1t must still largely be upon their stabil- ity and common sense that this democ- racy must rely to conserve it's principles of elf-government
 The need of capital which American farmers feel today had been experienced by the farmers of Europe with their centuries-old farms, many years ago. The problem had been successfully solved in the old world and it was evident that the farmers of this country might profit hy a study of their systems. I therefore or dered, through the department of state, an investigation to be made by the dip lomatic officers in Europe, and I have la1Q the results or tnlS investigation De- fore the governors of the various states with the hope that they will be used 10 advantage in their forthcoming meeting.
 Increase of Foreign Trade
 In my last annual message said that the fiscal year ended June 30, 1911, was noteworthy to foreign countries. The fis- cal year 1912 shows that this rate If ad- vance has been maintained, the total do- nestle exports having valuation ap- proximately of 2,200, 100000. as compared with a fraction over $2,00o, 900 the pre- vious year. It is also significant that manufactured articles continue to be the chief commodities forming the volume of our augmented exports the demands of our own people for consumption requiring that an increasing proportion of our abun- dant agricultural products be kept at home. In the fiscal year 1911 the exports of articles in the various stages of manu- facture not including foodstuffs partly or wholly manufactured amounted ap- proxin1ately to S97, ,500. 600. In the fiscal year 1912 the total was nearly s1,o22 0oo, 900, a gain of $114,000 900.
 Maximum and Minimum Tariff
 The importance which our manufac- lures have assumed in the commerce of the world in competition with the manu factures of other countries again draws attention to the duty of this government to use its utmost endeavors to secure i'm partial treatment for American products In all markets. Healthy commercial rivalry in international intercourse Is best assured by the possession of proper means for protecting and promoting our foreign trade. It is natural that competitive countries should view with some concern this steady expansion of our commerce. If in some instances the measure taken by them to meet 1t are not entirely

 came necessary to land over 2o0o marines
 and blueiackets in Nicaragua. Owing to
 their presence the constituted government
 or Nicaragua was free to devote it's atten-
 ton wholly to it's internal troubles and
 was thus enabled to stamp out the rebel
 lion in short space of time When the
 Hed Cross supplies sent to Granada had
 been exhausted, 5000 persons having been given food in one day upon the arrival or the American forces, our men supplied other unfortunate. needy Nicaraguans
 from their own haversacks l wish to congratulate the officers and men of the
 United States navy and marine corps who took part in re-establishing order in Nica- rasua upon their splendid conduct, and to record with sorrow the death of seven American marines and blueJackets. Since the establishment of peace and order elections have been held amid conditions of quiet and tranquility. Nearly all the American marines have now been with drawn The country should soon be on the road to recovery. The only apparent danger now threatening Nicaragua arises from the shortage of funds. Although American bankers have already rendered assistance, they may naturally be loath to advance a loan adequate to set the country upon it's feet without the support of some such convention as that of June, 1911. upon which the Senate has not yet acted
 Enforcement of Neutrality Laws
 In the general effort to contribute to the enjoyment of peace by those re- publics which are near neighbors of the United States, the administration has enforced the so-cal1ed neutrality Statutes with a new vigor and those statutes were greatly strengthened in acfr fotf t,X munitions by the joint resolution of last March. It is still regrettable fact that certain American ports are made the rendezvous of professional revolu- tionists and others engaged in intrigue against the peace of those republics. It must be admitted that occasionally a revolution In this region is justified as real popular movement to throw off the shackles of vicious and tyran- nical government. Such was the Nic- araguan revolution against the Zelaya regime. A nation enjoying our liberal institutions cannot escape sympathy with true popular movement, and one so well justified. In very many cases however, revolutions in the republics In question have no basis in principle. but are due merely to the machinations of conscienceless and ambitious men. and have DO effect but to bring new suffering and fresh burdens to an all ready oppressed people. The question the use of American ports as foci of revolutionary intrigue can be best dealt with by a further amend ment to the neutrality statutes or 1t would be safer to deal with special cases by special laws Is one worthy of the careful consideration of the Congress.

Limited States and the republics or cen tral America and the Caribbean region, which of necessity must become still more intimate by reason of the mutual advantages which will be presented py the opening of the Panama canal ol-. rected the Secretary of State last Feb ruary to visit these republics for the purpose of giving evidence of the sln- cere friendship and good will which the government and people or the United States bear toward them. Ten republics were visited. Everywhere ne was received with cordiality Of wei come and a generosity of hospitalty such as to impress me deeply and to merit our warmest thanks. The appre- ciatfon of the governments and peoples of the countries visited which has been appropriately shown in various ways, leaves me no doubt that his visit VIII conduce to that closer union and petter understanding between the United States and those republics which l have had it much at heart to promote
 Our Mexican Policy
 For two years revolution and counter revolution have distraught the neighoor- ing republic of Mexico Brigandage has involved a great deal of depreciation upon foreign interests There have constantly recurred questions of extreme delicacy On several occasions very difficult sltuatiohs have arisen on our frontier. Throughout this trying period, the policy of the united States has been one of patient noninter- vention, steadfast recognition of consu- tuted authority in the neighboring nation and the exertion of every effort to care for American interests. l profoundly hope that the Mexican nation may soon re- sume the path of order, prosperity and progress. To that nation in it's sore troubles, the sympathetic friendship or the United States has been demonstrated to a high degre. There were in Mexico at the beginning of the revolution some 30 900 or 40oO0 American citizens engaged in enterprises contributing greatly to the prosperity of that republic and also bene- fitting the important trade between the two countries. The investment of Amer ican capital in Mexico has been estimated at Sf, GOO, ,000, GOO The responsibility of en- deavoring to safeguard those interests and the dangers inseparable from propin- ouity to so turbulent a situation have been great, but l am happy to nave been able to adhere to the policy above out lned-a policy which I hope may be soon justified by the complete success of the Mexican people in regaining the blessings of peace and good order.
 Agricultural Credits
 A most important work accomplished in the past year by the American diplomatic officers in Europe is the investigation of the agricultural credit system in the European countries Both as a means to afford relief to the consumers of this country through, more thorough devel- opment of agricultural resources and as a means of more sufficiently maintaining the agricultural population. the project to establish credit facilities for the farm CTS is a concern of vital importance to this nation. No evidence of prosperity

equitable, a remedy should be found. In former messages have described the ne- gotiations of the department Of state with foreign governments for the adjustment of the maximum and minimum tariff as provided in section of the tariff law of 1908. The advantages secured by the ad- justment of our trade relations under this law have continued during the last year. and some additional cases of discrinina- tory treatment of which we had reason 10 complain have been removed. The de- partment of state has for the first time in the history of this country obtained substantial most favored nation treat ment from all the countries of the world. There are however. other instances which, while apparently not constituting undue discrimination in the sense of sec ton 2 are nevertheless exceptions to the complete equity of tariff treatment for American products that the department of state consistently has sought to obtain for American commerce abroad
 Necessity for More Legislation
 These develepoments confirm the opin- ion conveyed to you in my annual mes- sage of 1911, that while the maximum and minimum provision of the tariff law Of 1909 has been fully justified by the success achieved in removing previously existing undue determinations against American produets vet experience has shown that this feature of the law should be amended in such way as to provide fully effect i've means of meeting the varying de- grees of discriminatory treatment or American commerce in foreign countries still encountered as well as to protect against injurious treatment on the part of foreign governments, through either legislative or administrative measures, the financial interest abroad of American cit izens whose enterprises enlarge the mar ket for American commodities.
 l cannot too strongly recommend to the Congress the passage of some such enabling measure as the bill which was recommended by the Secretary of State in his letter of December IS, 1911. The ob- ject of the proposed legislation Is, in brief, to enable the executive to apply, as the case may require to any or all commodl-

Larger Provision for Legations

IIOsisiOH lVi <CSatiOhS
 In connection with legislation for the ameloration of the foreign service, l wish to invite attention to the advisabiity O. placing the salary appropriations upon a better basis. 1 believe that the best results would be obtained by moderate scale of salaries, with adequate funds for the expenses of proper representation, based in each case upon the scale and cost of living at each post, controlled by a system of accounting and under the general direction of the department of state t
 In line with the object which I have sought of placing our foreign service on a basis of permanency, have at various times advocated provision by Congress for the acquisition of government owned buildings for the residence and offices of our diplomatic officers, so as to place them more nearly on an equality with similar officers of other nations and to do away with the discrimination which otherwise must necessarily be made, in some cases, in favor of men having large private fortunes. The act of Congress which I approved on February F, 1911, was right step in this direction. The Secretary of State has already made the limited recommendations permitted by the act for any one year. and it Is my hope that the bill introduced in the House of Representatives to carry out these recom- mendations will be favorably acted on by Congress during its present session.

TAFT ON FOREIGN RELATIONS

ships upon a firm foundation of realities as well as aspirations
 Before briefly reviewing the more important events of the last year in our foreign relations which 1t is my duty to do as charged with their con duct and because diplomatic affairs are not of nature to make it appropriate that the Secretary of state make a formal annual report. I desire to touch upon some of the essentials to the safe management of the foreign relations Of the United States and to endeavor also, to define clearly certain concrete policies which are the logical modern corollaries of the undisputed and tra- ditional Fundamentals of the foreign policy of the United States.

Editor Times: ! beg to submit
the following solution to the
puzzle in this evenings Times:
Let equal the selling price.
Then 22x-10O equals cost of sell
ing. 81 plus 22x-100 equals
cost. If the article sold at a
profit of 10 per cent then the sell
ing price was 110-100 of cost.
Therefore 81 plus 22x-100 equals
100x-110.
Multiplying both sides of the
equation by 100 to reduce them
to common demoninator we
have $1100 plus 242x equals
1000x. $1100 equals 75Sx.
SLAB plus equals equals sell
ing price. Answer. Proof: 1.451
plus equals selling price. s1.45
plus times 22-100 equals 1919
plus cost of selling. 81 plus
.319 plus equals 1919 plus equals
total cost.
$1.451 plus minus $1.319 plus
1uals 1872 equals profit equals
percent of cost.

and some there are who would be
able to show even grandmother a

would mean 10, 100000 overalls."
GRANDMOTHER, with all her sew
ing circle friends, never could
have made that many.
| Over in a corner of this club
room sits Louise Sholseth. She's
the oldest member of the society.
She sews with two needles at
once, makes between 1000 and
5000 stitches a minute--and
smiles when your face betrays
your disbelief.
She works with a little differ
ent sort of system than grand
mother used, for she has a ma
chine to do 1t with. The other
girls use the same style of ma

Emma Zachow can sew on 100
buttons a minute without the
least exertion, and Florence
Swanson is as adept in rivetting
pocket corners and seam ends.

81 equals 100 per cent of the
