FAIR ENOUGH.

Portions of the postoffiee and appro-
priatlon bill, which recently received
the endorsement of President Taft, are
of interest not only to newspaper and
magazine publishers but to advertisers
and the public in general.
One clause provides for the pubIiea.
ton of the actual paid circulation. an
other for the publication of notice
that news items or editorials which
are paid for are advertisement and
third for the publication of the
names of the owners and editors.
A number of newspapers are object,
ing strongly to these orders. The
New York World is especially vigorous
because it believes the postofIice de
partment oversteps its proper limits
of power.

DICKINSON SCHOOL DISTRICT
GOOD WAGES TO TEACHERS

For the school term of 1911-12 the
Dickinson school district paid SIG, 436. :
80 in teachers wages. This included
the 20 teachers !. in the north side
schools, one on the South Side and the
six country schools in this district.
The wages paid in the city schools
here compare favorab]y with those in
other cities in the state. while in the
Dickinson district country schools the
wages are somewhat better than the ma
jority of schools in the county pay. In
the country schools in Stark the wages
are not generally as good as those paid
in the surrounding counties and it is
sometimes difficult to get teachers. The
wages are fixed by the school boards in
each district.
. According to Treasurer Wilson Eyer g
report of the Dickinson district which is
published elsewhere in this issue, the
expenses incurred for school purposes for
the 1911-12 term were over $37, 900,
which included the interest on bonds
and warrants for that time. The appor-
tionment of the state and county tuition
fund was over $40, 900 while nearly
SIS. 600 was collected in taxes. The dis
trict is bonded for $50. 600 and with the
outstanding warrants and interest on
same the total Indebtedness of the
Dickinson district is $61. 43o. "a.

EXTENSIVE FARMING
NEAR new ENGLAND

The Farm Land & Loan Co. of Ami

doing big stroke of farming this
year. The land being farmed is in
Billines county some twenty miles west
OF New England. They have under cul-
tivation twenty five hundred acres at
the present time. Twelve hundred
acres in wheat. eight hundred acres in
oats. five hundred acres in fax and
forty acres in barley.
During the grain cutting season Mr..
Dinsmore had four binders running, and
used three thousand pounds of twine.
half of which he bought in New Eng
land and the other half in Bowman.
The company is building sranary
140 by "a feet and IL feet hiah. This
large building will have u large drive
way full length through the center and
undoubtedly will be the largest eranarv
in this section. The estimated yield
OF wheat, oats and barley combined is
twenty seven thousand bushels. It is
thought the. flax will 60 ten or twelve
bushels to the acre, which will make
from five to six thousand bushels of
that grain.

ALL COUNTY ATTORNEYS
FAVOR BRUcE'S ELECTION

We. the undersigned attorneys of
Stark county, recognizing the sterling
qualities and judicial ability of Judge
Andrew A. Bruce. recently appointed by
the governor, as judge of the state .su-
preme court of North Dakota. hereby
unite in expressing an emphatic opin-
ion in favor of the retention and cleo
ton of Andrew A. Bruce to the supreme
bench. This is non-partisan and nom
political. We disregard party lines in
this case and look upon the ability of
the man and his fitness for that very
important Office as our only reason
for urging his election.
Judge Bruce is not a politician but
with an eye to whatever is right. broad
views, and a deep. student of law, he is
a worthy candidate for that office-not
because he needs the office but because
the state needs good man for that
place.
Most of the subscribers hereto know
Judge Bruce personally in Grand
Forks both during the nine years he was
dean of the University Law College and
since, as man of much ability and
honorable methods. During his incum-
bency as dean and professor of law his
contributions on subjects Of law were
in much demand by the leading Amer
ican law journals.
We would recommend Judge Bruce to
electors of this and all other counties
as good man and highly qualified for
said Office.
Respectfully.

Commencing with September 18th the
weather was cold and rainy for -four
days. mercury standing the greater part
Of the time at about 40 degrees. The
rainfall during this period was 30 Of
an inch. A few fakes of snow fell on
Sunday and in places down in Hettinger
county the ground was covered with
several inches of snow.
Monday night the weather seemed a
little warmer and people thonght ii
was going to clear without frosting,
but the morning of the 18th showed a
slight freeze in places. mercury having
dropped to 81 degrees at the Dickinson
experiment station on the low land.
The government thermometer on the
hill, however. recorded at about IS de-
Grees. 1t was very wet from the rains
and very little damage resulted from the
light frost. In many places garden stuff
was not even touched. The following
night mercury recorded at 80 degrees at
this point.
one of the lowest records in the state
was at Minot where the gauge showed
% degrees and considerable damage
resulted to late crops.
Of course the grain crops are generally
harvested in Stark county. There are
some fields of late corn and little late
fax, and in the district where the hail
hit on July 18th, the farmers are get
ting second growth. The oats had
already matured but some If the
wheat needed another week before cut
ting. From reports it does not seem
likely that much, if any, damage had
been done to these late crops.
The rain set the farmers back on
threshing and stacking, and it may
have slightly injured the grade of shock
led wheat. 1t will be a good thing fol
the farmers who are ready to plow.
The roads are in bad shape again.
The storm seems to have been quite
general in the west and the middle
west. Reports of snow came from Den
yer. and all in all the people of our To-
cality did not fare as badly as those of
many parts.
Last year was record breaker for
early frost. it will be remembered. On
August 9th there was killing frost,
mercury registering at 26 degrees. Thil
was the time when the great damage
was done the 1911 flax crop. 1t is nov
past the goth of September and there
has been no killing frost or any
freeze that has mater tally injured thu
very late crops of which there are al
ways some.
The Dickinson experiment station
was in the hail strip on the 18th o1
July, and just before the rains last
week, second crop of so day oat.
was cut and threshed which yielded..a
the rate of 80 bushels to the acre. A
plot of White Russian oats, a little
later, looked good enough for a yielt
of 60 bushels to the acre.
A report from the station on Thurs
day showed Banner and Victor varie.
ties of oats yielding around 50 bushels
to the acre for second crop and barle
49 bushels.
