in the financial world tells, perhaps,
best of the qualities of heart and mind
which characterized the Pennsylvania
boy who came into the state more than
thirty years ago as farmer, who wasi
afterward in the lumber business and
then became the financial bulwark of,
his neighborhood. 1t was at Page, in,
Cass county. where he first went into
the banking business. and the hearty;
welcome that Is always accorded HIM
there, the other evidences of esteem:
that are shown him at various times,
prove that his early ideals have been
well lived up to, and that he did his
best for those around him.
AS president Of the First National
bank Of Fargo that institution soon be-
gan to feel the strength of the man at
dts head. As the leader of many COM
mercial and civic movements for the
benefit Of his city and his state he
threw much weight for development
and progress.
AS a legislator at Bismarck he did
his duty as he saw it. Always courte-
pus. always broad minded, he dis
charged his duty in way that evoked
no criticism Of those around him. He
was elected to congress by heavy
vote and then reelected. He looks you
straight In the eye as he talks to you.
His personal and political conduct
have been courageous and straight;
Forward. His honesty of purpose is ad-!
United by those who oppose him, and
his ability is widely recognized. His
acquaintance over the state il very
wide, and his friendships are many.
He is worthy son Of the old Key

LEARN OF 0sPREYS' HABITS
ornitholonIsts 0ather knowledge
From Visits Of Birds to Islands
Near New York.

A great colony Of ospreys. or fish-;
aawks,. built their nests at one time
ipon the property. Of various owners
" land ON an island near New York.
I circumstance that enabled ornitholo-
gists to gather some interesting data
With respect to the breeding habits Of
his bird.
One osprey's nest was built upon .
pile Of old fence rails. only seven or
sight feet from the ground. It had
been added to annually until its bulk
Of sticks. sods. decayed wood. sear
weed and the like amounted to some
thing like three carloads. Two other
nests were built in cedar trees. These.
too, had been occupied every year for
many seasons. and had been increased
by tho addition Of fresh material. until
they filed the whole upper parts Of
the trees.
In the wooded parts of the island
the nests were very numerous. Tho
larger trees in the interior Of the wood
were all occupied. and on the edge Of
the wood every tree. large or small,
had at least one nest, and some Of
them two or. three. On the sandy plain
beyond the woods hundred or more
nests were built on the ground, and on
the north shore, where the beach was
etrewn with boulders, almost every
one of the larger rocks had nest
pm 1t.
When one Investigator approached
some Of the nests. the older birds few
silently away and did not return until
all was quiet. In other cases the hawks
were noisy, and even showed fight,
darting down at the visitors head
and striking out with their talons.
These birds, however, would return
to their eggs when the caller remained
quiet, though he might be only fifty
feet away.
One nest was seen to contain an old
broken ak, bootjack and a straw hat.
OF the variety of materials wrought
into the different structures the follow
ing Is brief list: Barrel slaves, bar
rel heads and hoops, the tiller Of .
pcat, small rudder and parts of life
preservers, brooms, an old plane, a
feather duster, blacking brush, part
of q hay rake, . rubber boot. several
pairs of shoes, pair Of trousers, .
long fishing line with hooks and sink
ers wound on a board. bottles, tin cans.
q door mat and rag doll.
In the interstices Of many Of the
larger structures smaller birds had
built their nests, we'll protected from

keep deepening year after year until
proper depth IS attained. This bed and
the water stored in the ground will be
enough to sustain the crop through
any period of drouth that has or is
likely to occur. It has been proven
that enough rainfall occurs each sea-
son to mature a crop. The thing to do
is to conserve the moisture by proper
mulching.
The doctor gave the different ele-
ments of the soil and the properties
that entered to make for the growth OF
bigger and better crops. He is q
thorough student of chemistry and ex-
planned the scientific workings of the
soil and the contact with water and
air and sunshine. By lump of suga,
applied to water he showed the capil.
larry attraction of water from a great
depth to the nurture of the plant or
the surface. He also showed by means
of one lump Of sugar on top of another
how it would hinder the capillary at
traction to the top lump, just as plow.
ing might interfere with the water get
ting to the surface in the soil.
The doctor gave practical talk OF

with him all the time. His anecdotes
kept them in good humor and every
utterance went right home. He tolt
an interesting story in a way that al

LIKES DISCUSSIONS.
Suggests q Farmers Institute and
Talks by Local Men.

Dear Editor: Your recent articles
in The Oakes Times from some of your
local subscribers have been of much
interest to the community and hope
that more articles will continue. l
have a few ideas that wish to express.
First, regarding the twin city pro-
posed appropriation. 1t is good idea
and should go far in developing this
great country, and should certainly be
encouraged. But the first move that
this country should make to encourage
better farming is for the farmers them
selves to get together and organize q
club for their own benefit and
interest. Every small town has a
Commercial Club and is great help
to the business men and the town as a
whole and could not be dispensed with
after once started, for all business men
of any city must work in harmony with
each other. Now is it not more i'm
portant that the farmers should work
together? They have more things of
common interest to all than city people,
and to my notion can do more
towards developing this country and
even the city itself than the CONNER
clal Club. The average farmer knows
more about the art of farming than
his city brother does and since the re-
sources of this country lie in the soil
it is oh ,ious the future wealth and
splendor of this country depends almost
entirely upon how he tills the soil.
Some of our most intelligent and popu-
lar men are farmers and if we could
get together once or twice a month,
talk over our work which is soon to be-
gin, we would surely profit by it.
Many subjects are appropriate for
discussion at this time of year. In
fact this should be the time when we
should plan for the coming year. We
ought to be able to conduct a little
farmers institute of our own. Possibly
we may be fortunate enough to secure
some of our men connected with the
Agricultural College to lecture to US.
Let US look upon the prospects Of
such an organization. 1t would evil
IDENTIFY influence the welfare of this
country into better circumstances in
many ways. 1t may be the means of
bringing about better roads, consoli-
dated schools, more corn and alfalfa
and better crop returns. In addition
to this we may become in q position
where we could buy our seed and feed
more cheaply than we otherwise could.
Could not the Oakes Commercial Club
be instrumental in getting things
started? Supposing they got up a pro-
gram composed of different farmers
around here, each handling some sub
ject that they can most successfully
discuss and continue with extempo-
raneous talks. Ibelieve we are cap
able of going through the whole
stunt and get more practical good out
of 1t than market day." We could
here organize if we wished to and other
meetings would follow. :.
Readers, think it over anyway. This
club should 60 hand in hand with the
Commercial Club and it seems to me
that we could pull off a celebration OF
fair or corn show more successfully il
the farmers themselves feel that they
have hand in it.

Some Don'ts.

North Dakota politicians are real
students these days, and the fact that
the last legislative assembly saw fit to
enact a corrupt practices act has been
largely responsible for that condition.
With the near approach of the presi-
Dental primary election, scheduled for
March 18th, the corrupt practices act
becomes a live number and the politi-
clans are busily engaged ''brushing up''
on its many points which seemingly
cover every known practice that enters
into the holding Of an election.
No free treats of any kind. no solici-
tation of subscriptions from candidates
upon the part of charitable or church
organizations, no carriages for the con-
venience of the voters on election day,
are some of the political don'ts" that
have been prescribed. and which will
be administered the first time next
month.
Here, in brief, are the "must nots"
and the ''musts" in the corrupt prac-
tices act:

greater than Is per cent 'of the salary
he receives in one year for the Office to
which he aspires, excepting the amount
paid for his personal or political party's g
statement in the political "year book"
that will be issued by the secretary of
state.
No person can make q contribution
toward a political fund in any name but
his own, and no person shall receive
such contribution, knowing that there
is fraud.
No candidate shall make prediction
promises of patronage as return for
support, such promises to cover either
official or private positions of trust,
responsibility or employment.
No person shall demand Of a candi-
date contribution for charitable or re-
ligiops organizations.
No payment shall be exacted by q
political committee from candidate in
consideration of placing his name on
| q ticket or caucus ballot, etc.
No corporation shall be allowed to
contribute toward q political fund, and
no person is allowed to solicit such con-
tributions. -
No candidate shall treat any person

ing.
No candidate shall be allowed to
