CONSERVING HOME TRADE.

Conservation is a watchword OF to-
day. Businesses are being made more
profitable, often times not so much by
extending to new and untried fields,
as by developing the existing field and
saving leaks.
Similarly in the life of the trade
community. Securing a new industry
to locate here would be profitable to
our community, but if our people can
be persuaded to buy the products of
home industries, rather than patroniz
ing the industries of some other town,
the same result is accomplished and
with much less risk of loss.
The money is placed in circulation
here and it helps to build up your
own town, rather than helping to build
UP some other town.
The man who breaches and practices
the idea of patronizing home industries
is helping to build up his town just
as surely as if he made it some fine
gift. And it costs nothing to talk up
home enterprises.
Prices of goods tend to equalize
themselves the world over. If you
get an article for less in some dis
tant department store, it is because
you have to take more pains and
time to get it. Or you have to make
it up in payment of express charges,
or in the fact that the guarantee of
good value is less satisfactory.

Throughout State
ELECTRICAL DISPLAYS ACCOM-
PANY STORM SATURDAY
EVENING. ~..

Saturday evening heavy rains fell
in many sections of the state, accom-
panied by heavy electrical displays
which are unusual at this time of the
year. ....
Heavy rains were reported at Mi
not, Churchs Ferry, Grafton, Grand
Forks, and will probably Aalt thresh-
ing there for a few days.
While Valley City and locality had
a heavy shower, it did not rain enough
to delay threshing today. Ten days
of constant fine weather has given
the farmers an excellent opportunity
to progress with their threshing oper-
atoms. While the labor situation has
been acute and although some ma
chimes are running short handed,
there is not any further need of dras-
tic means to secure help.
In Barnes county, according to sew
eral farmers, it will take another
week to do the balance of the work.

DEMOCRATIC FINANCE.

It is SO long since a Democratic ad-
ministration has been seen that many
Of our younger voters know nothing
about the controlling ideas of the
Democratic party, except what they
may have picked up from works of
history, which is practically nothing.
The greatest single weakness of the
Democratic party lies in it's failure to
understand the nature of money. The
majority of the Democratic party has
always believed that you could make
the people more prosperous by cheap
ening the money supply. BY the fiat
money of 1876, by the SO cent dollar
of 1898, it was supposed that all the
burdens of the workingman could
magically be lifted by giving him q
cheaper dollar.
The great panic and persistent de-
preston of 1898 to 1897 tells the
story of results. Business men cut
their enterprises down to the lowest
limit. They expected that if they
put out a gold dollar, they would get
back so cent silver one. The money
was put into safe deposit vaults in
stead of into productive enterprises.
1t is true that the silver question
seems settled for the present, no
thanks to the democracy. But it is
also true that the money question is
never settled. Some new phase of it
is always coming up.
Just now it is the need of currency
reform. Our currency is admittedly
unelastic. An industrial depression
was caused in 1907 principally be-
cause business men locked up cur.
rency as the result of fear. Some safe
means needs to be provided by which
enough currency can be provided in
times of stress to supply solvent
bank depositors.
This problem is imminent, and
should be settled within the next pres.
idential term. Will you dare trust
the Democratic party to 1"ettle it:
Given the reins of power, will not
they make mess of it, as they al
ways have messed the money ques.

FALL ADVERTISING.

The months of September and o.
tober are peculiarly favorable to en-
terprise in advertising.
The buying public is looking for
new clothes and new house furnish.
ings after the wear and tear of the
summer At other times of the year
you have the dead weight of the buy
er's indifference to work against.
Now the buyers are coming your way,
their attention and interest are ex
cited, and the merchant merely has
to persuade them that he has the
goods and the values.
1t is a time too when buyers do not
expect quite the low prices that can
be had at off seasons. Goods sold
now bring a profit. A dollar spent
in advertising now should save the
loss OF many dollars on goods that
must be disposed of at sacrifice
later to get ready for another season.
If you have any exceptionally good
values for the money, they will be
more likely to attract attention now
than at off season times, because
there is less price-cutting now to COM
pete with.
The merchant who has bought his
goods at reasonable prices will find
them exceptionally welcome at this
season before special sales have be-
gun. Tell the public about them.
They'll respond.

GOOD STREET WORK.

The problem OF maintaining our
streets and highways in good condi-
ton grows more perplexing every
year, as traffic grows heavier.
There is one lesson that you always
hear emphasized by expert road
builders which every official and work
er who has anything to do with street
maintenance needs to- realize. That
is that the least expensive way. to
maintain good streets is to remedy
defects when they begin TO show
themselves.
Formerly the idea used to prevail
among road builders that they could
go over a street in the spring, and
the resurfaced macadam or gravel, If
put in good order would last all dur
ing the season. But under modern
motor traffic this is woefully INSULT
cient.
Once a little hollow gets started in
a gravel or macadam road, it is sur
prising how soon it scopes out into
deep hole. The little hollow soon
becomes a mud puddle, it grinds out
deeper and deeper, and soon the
motorist is given a free trip over the
t'shoot the chutes.''
If the road builders will keep watch
of all these little hollows as they
start, filling them up and rounding
them over, a street can be kept in or
der without very heavy expense. If
the holes are allowed to remain, in a
season or two a heavy bill for resur-
facing is rendered necessary.
In these days of long distance trav-
ell, when motorists are slipping about
the country hundred or more miles
day, a host of strangers passes
through our place daily. If our streets
are kept up in good shape, our visitors
carry away a favorable impression,
and spread the good fame of this
town far and wide. If they are Jared
and bounced by deep holes and ruts,
they curse our road builders, and all
our works and ways, and declare that
this is a slow, unprogressive town.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND
THE TAMMANY ELEMENT

One Of the historic alliances of
American politics is that between
two men who were respectively
called the Puritan and the "Black-
Leg Much the same kind of thing
is seen whenever the democratic par
ty lines up and presents its claim for
the suffrage of the independent vo-
Ter.
Beginning with Tammany hall,
what can be expected of a party in
which that great society of pelf is
the strongest individual organization?
The democratic party often places
good men in positions of high respon-
sibility, we'll knowing that no other
kind can be elected to conspicuous
positions. Then it goes to work and
sends a lot of mere spoils-seeking
politicians to fill congressional and
legislative seats. These men have to
be recognized. They are there for
the loaves and fishes. They will
vote for a good bill now and then,
provided that they get their share of
pork" or offices.
Grover Cleveland used to know all
about that. The comparative lack of
fruitage from Mr.. Cleveland's admin.
istration was not due to his lack OF
honorable purpose, but to a horde OF
selfish democrats in congress-, who
were merely looking to grab. all they
could for their own selves or their
own districts.
Why is it that when you go
through New York, Chicago, St.
Louis, or any great city, and find a
ward with an abnormal proportion
of saloons and drunkenness and ar
rests, that ward is usually democra-
tic in politics? The same conditions
are found in smaller towns likewise.
All through such sections you will
find plenty of honest and honorable
men who vote the democratic ticket
along with the gang of saloon toughs.
How much they could do to improve
their own city life if they would
break off this unholy alliance!
, If Governor Wilson should be ell
ected president, he would find that
the same old gang that hampered
and thwarted Grover Cleveland
would be there to hamper and thwart
him. The voters must not look
merely at the candidates, but at the
clements who are behind the candi-
dates.

HIGH SCHOOL

The second game of the season will
be played by the local high school
against the Moorhead high school
next Saturday on the high school
grounds. The team has been working
hard for this game and are determin-
ed to win. Last year the score at
Moorhead was goose egg for both
sides and the local boys are going to
try to make this game decisive with
Valley City on the long end. Those
who saw the snappy game the team
played against the heavy Jamestown
college team last week will not need
to be told that the team will give a
good account of itself. The score of
6 to 0 speaks for itself. That high
school team should be able to hold
a heavier team, made up of older and
more experienced players to that low
score in the first game of the season
is remarkable. :.,- !.

up will be practically the same as last
