This cold weather weather we have been
having is just what is needed to drive the
frost into the ground. Those who are exca.
waiting, say the frost is now down four or five
feet and due to 60 q foot or 50 farther. This
practically insures good crop this year.

dare to made fight upon Taft, but very likely
would be pleased to again be elected president
if it appeared that the country demanded it.
Some of Roosevelt's friends believe that he
would accept the nomination, if, in the opin-
Taft could not again be elected. LaFollette
would suit the people out in this neck of the
woods, with Roosevelt as second choice and
Taft way down the list.

SOME PERTINENT QUESTIONS

Mr.. Business Man, what are YOU doing to
bring the farmer and his trade to your town?
Have you done your part toward making his
visits here profitable to him as well as to
yourself? Do you realize that GOOD ROADS
are business builders and that they are fully
as important to you as they are to the farmer?
;k,Mr Farmer, what are YOU doing to lessen
your expense in getting your crops to market?
Are you helping to make it easier for your
family to get to town and to church and to
school, by helping to provide better roads?
Are you advising your representatives in the
state legislature to revise our road making
laws so as to put the maintenance and i'm
provement and construction of highways upon
business basis? Or, are you helping to
block progress in road Improvement?
These are pertinent questions. They are
important to YOU. YOUR help is needed.
This road question is Of the utmost import
ance to all of u.s. Good roads mean less ex-
pense, more pleasure, more Lroft

It is entirely possible that Roosevelt has an
Exaggerated idea Of his Importance at this
narticular time. No one can deny the fact
that Roosevelt made good president and at
the time apparently was the best man that
could have been secured He has had his DAY

never again hold that position with sucn a uni,
az chief executive Of our nation. Roosevelt

.. yxotn SCHOOL FOR m,roT N 1872

President A. M. Thompson OF the Mlnot
Commercial club has selected the concill tory
committee. which will endeavor to- adjust the
local differences in regard to the site for the
Ninot Normal school, so that the work on the
buildings for this institution may start DUR
inp the present year. We know that there
has been bitter fight over this site and this
has been but natural Now that there is
likelihood of the city and the northwest losing
the school altogether unless we settle TINS
scrap and cut it out entirely, it behooves every
GOOD citizen to back up this committee in the
adjustment of the trouble. The Independent
p not so particular as to the exact location OF
this school, as we are in getting the lnstltu-
ton under way and no citizen who has the
hest interest of Minot at heart will deiber-
ately block the progress tawards this end.
This fight must come to an end.
i Mr.. Thompson's statement is as follows:
To THE CITIZENS OF M1NOT: .t,a... w..
At the last meeting assembled OF the Mlnot
Commercial Club on December 9th, 1911,
resolution was passed demanding that the
president of the Club appoint committee OF
five to attempt concllatlon OF the Norman
School controversy. .,s #>s -.
In selecting this committee have exercised
considerable thought and study. 1t finally
dawned upon me that we have five banking
institutions in this city who represent, direct
" or indirectly, every business interest, every
man in the City of Minot: finally decidedt to
select as the personnel of this committee the
acting head Of each one of our financial insti-
tutions, believing that they are men big
ENOUGH. and influential enough to arrive at
some solution of our difficulties. l believe !
voice the sentiment of 95% Of the people OF
Minot and it's vicinity when say that our
slogan should be Normal School for Minot
in 1912" o..,-..
The committee appointed is as follows:
MI. Grant S. Youmans of the Savings Dep
osit Bank, Chairman; n.a,.,
Nj. Z. E. Barron Of the Second National
Mr. H. H. Kemper Of the Citizens State
Bank:
Major E. 8. Person of the Union National
Mr.. M. R. Porter of the Scandinavian
American Bank. .fea -, =,
I have full confidence in the ability and in
teority Of the above named committee to
shoulder the responsibility placed upon it by
the Minot citizens. "@r
Yours very truly,

CONSERVATION OF WEALTH

Every resident Of North Dakota should buy
at home; price and quality being right We
believe that home products should be given
preference even if prices are fraction high
er than those at which outside goods are Of
fered, because the home merchants are help
ing to support the activities of their commu-
mites There is no reason or excuse for not
buying at home if the goods are right and the
prices fair. @a-1 .1a Pip
If what is wanted cannot be purchased at
home, then loyal North Dakotans should turn
to the larger North Dakota cities for these
purchases, but first they should be sure that
local markets cannot supply the demand.
Retailers should practice in their Luying
that which they constantly preach to their
customers, that is-home buying. They
should buy from North Dakota wholesalers
and manufacturers buy in their home state
Be 10 al to home towns and counties and to
North Dakota and its people.
Make North Dakota dollars build up North
Dakota. That is true conservation of state
wealth.

~ The One Hundred Dollar an Acre Club
can't do anything in the way of increasing
the value of the farm land in North Dakota
without the concerted action of the farmers.
After all, the success Of the state depends a.
most entirely upon the efforts of our farmers,
dairying state. The object Of this club is to
call attention to the farmers the necessity of
diversifying and employing the right methods.
Nearly all of our farmers had this lesson
taught to them in most forcible manner dur
ing the last two years, SO that they are now
only too willing to grasp any opportunity Of
fered them to make their efforts more paying
and more certain of returns. The club ought
to help considerably. r.
on Out here in the west things are done on
larger scale than in the more settled east
This was demonstrated most forcible on the
trip of the western governors in the east re-
Gently when it was found that the coaches
furnished by the Great Northern railway
were too large to pass thru many of the tun-
nels in the east. Larger engines are used in
the west, the coaches and cars are much larg-
er than those of the east, the tracks capable
of carrying heavier loads. Our fields are
larger, the minds of our people are broader
and their hearts bigger. Is it any wonder
that the west is developing with such rapidity?
Young man hive you written your parents
lately? Maybe you have been so busy with
your own affairs that you have ne elected to
write; or perhaps you have been trying to
quiet your conscience by offering it the all too
common excuse that you haven't time to
write. But, after all, it takes only little
time to write letter That mother or that
father who gave you life end reared you to
years of independence would be the excep-
ton who are not interested in your welfare.
Write them. It will do you good and will not
fail to gladden. their hearts
The Minot Commercial club is now second
in size in the state, having larger member
ship than even the Fargo club. The Grand
Forks club has the largest membership in
North Dakota, over 700 members, with Mi
not's membership over 500 and still growing.
Our secretary, +. L Sherman is some booster.
This cold weather weather we have been
having is just what is needed to drive the
frost into the ground. Those who are exca-
waiting, say the frost is now down four or five
feet and due to 60 q foot or SO farther. This
