THE ORIGIN OF OUR DOMESTIC

While it's rather difficult to trace
man to the monkey, our domestic tur-
key leaves palmer footprints on the

IMPORTANT
new MILK ROUTE

We are receiving so many calls for
milk that we have decided to put on a
team for the daily delivery of milk
and cream.
The selling of milk being new to us
and desiring to run the business along
up-to. date sanitary lines, we have taken
Mr.. l.. c.. Litchfield into the business
with us and will carry on the business
under the firm name of S. w. Jewett &
Co.
Mr.. Litchfield is graduate of the
Massachusetts, Agricultural College and
for three years had personal charge of
the Hickory Dell Dairy at Amherst,
Massachusetts.
The handling and delivering of the
milk will be looked after personally by
MIR. Litchfield, which we feel will insure
our customers a clean, up.to-d date, SAM
tary article.
We are using the Sterlac covered pals
foi milking and shall put in complete
modern equipment.
We realize that it costs more to pro-
duce Jersey milk testing Per Cent Fat
than it does to prduce an article testing
3 . Per Cent but have decided for the
present to put our milk, with satisfaction
guaranteed, 1T an advance of only 9 nts
per quart over the old price of 6 cents
and shall sell at the uniform price of
8 cents per quart.
Thanking the public for their generous
patronage in the past and to merit con
tinuance of the same in this new venture
we remain.

Of these come from the domestic and
peasant classes and are sent to the
Mormon states.
The investigation conducted by the
ladies Of the d. A. r. was through the
committee on the welfare of women
and children. The following is an ex-
tract from the report made by this
committee:
The methods Of the Mormon church
are very insidious. Their missioner
les are h-oneycombing society, and al
ways the effort Is made to make young
and healthy women converts. 1t is
only another form of the white slave
traffic" DO you know that in ten Of
u western states Mormonism is ex-
erting political control? Do you know
that in Utah poIygamy still is secretly
.practiced, and hat thousands of
children are born of polygamous mar
riages, who are regarded as illegiti-
mate by our government? Polygamy
Is practiced in Utah because Mormons
control the court and state officials,
and refuse to enforce the laws against
IL.

o EGGS NOW.


Every winter Fargo people protest
they have to eat cold storage eggs,
They also kick on the prices. This
winter they need not eat that kind
nor should they be compelled to pay
e~xorbitant charges.
The remedy is to store your own
eggs.
Just now the eggs are cheap and the
dealers are purchasing the hen fruit
in enormous quantities. The surplus
drifts toward the cold storage houses
where the eggs are packed away for
higher prices, this winter.
othsr methods than cold storage al
be tried at a small cost-if you have a
cellar. The opportunity is open to
practically every one who has $40 to
invest in eggs-and the receptacles
necessary to hold them. In addition
the cold storage people will rent you
room and you can make your outlay
If you live in a fiat and haven't a cell
lar.
Store your own eggs-then you
won't have to grumble at the dealers

The Chicago Record Herald had the
following on the bill introduced in
congress to compel newspapers to pub
lish the names Of the owners or stock
holders:
Certain members or congress are
proposing an amendment to the post
office appropriation bill providing that
no newspaper shall be carried by the
government unless it prints in every
edition the name of it's publishers,
owners and stockholders. This GU
rious idea is supposed in some way to
be related to the cause Of wholesome
publicity"
There is no reason, value or rhyme
in the proposal. Newspapers are what
their readers and patrons make them.
That is their strength, that their weak
ness. A newspaper represents a con-
stituency, and the personal equation is
of slight consequence, and what has
the p~ostoffice to do with questions of
ownership and control? Fit papers
must be entered; unfit may be exclud-
ed, provided literary and moral CEN
sorship be not carried too far. The
postal service should be conducted on
business principles, or It has no reason
for existence. Regulation and reform
by means of meddlesome, irrelevant
and despotic regulations would be re-
sented by every level-headed man.
Besides, yellow and sensational
newspapers would not be forced to
change their complexion by the sort
of publicity" suggested. Organs of
special interests or cliques would re-
main what they are in spite of
names" The reform" would soon
prove an absolute hasco. There is no
way to prevent any interest, move
ment. party, group OF citizens from
having a newspaper to represent it.
The greatest newspapers, Of course,
speak for the plain people" and
serve the general good as they see it.

3 MANHOOD.

-
The thrills Of horror at the magni-
tude of the great Titanic disaster do
not obscure the heroic features Of the
terrible tragedy. The stories the
survivors tell Of the GOODNESS and man
hood OF some of the passengers evoke
sentiments of intense admiration for
the brave men who went to death-and
= great pride that the present century
has men who can display such splen-
did qualities when the final test comes.
Who wouldn't rather be John Jacob
Astor, aristocrat and millionaire,
dead-than j. Bruce Ismay alive and
well? Who would not prefer to be
Major Butt-two miles underneath the
surface Of the icy ocean-than the
managing director of the company
alive-and cringing and squirming I'M
der the scorn and condemnation of the
civilized world?
The bravery Of Aston has removed
the stigma which has to a large degree
In recent years been attached to men
Of great wealth. He showed nerve and
manhood at the crucial moment.
Major Butt, the trained soldier, did
iust what his friends knew he would.
When he fought back maddened men
that women and children might be res
rued-he was not battling for honor
Or renowA. He fought for the lives
Of helpless women and children-who
we're threatened by fear stricken men,
Seeking MISREPRESENTATION.
A nation which can produce men
who gladly sacrifice their lives for the
service Of others-is still safe. The
action Of the heroes Of the Titanic
shows that America does not lack in
leaders in time Of need-and that
brave and fearless men are always
ready to protect the weak and he
helpless.
The great heart that can be calm in
the face OF death-that can be ready
to perish rather than assert its brute
strengthened is a heritage of which
to be proud-a distinction that makes
certain races supreme. 1t gives to
human life a glory-and proclaims the
nobility of mankind.
That is why disasters like that which
befell the Titanic do not break the
spirit-but stouten the heart-give a
standard to strive for-and an inspi-
ration to the youth Of this and future
generations.

Press Comment

Bismarck Tribune: The insurgent
leaders are much agitated for fear they
have wrecked their house of reform
and pulled it down over them by their
own hands.
They are going about the state vail
ing, lamenting and crying unto them
selves, Deliver us from own own
hands. What shall we do to be saved?"
Why? Because the supreme court of
the state has in a recent decision held
valid a section of the primary election
law passed. as the progressives boast,
by their representatives at the last ses-
sion of the legislature. They are scold-
ing because the supreme court has seen
fit to give force and effect to the first
section and preamble of the primary
election law, which reads as follows:
Section /. Intent of act. 1t Is the
intention of this act to reform the
methods by which political parties
shall make nominations Of candidates
for public Offices by popular vote"
The supreme court has Interpreted
this to mean that the primary election
was intended to do as it says and that
1t was enacted for the purpose OF nom
mating candidates by parties and not
nominations by nonpartisan judiciary
primary election where no questions
are asked as to party affiliations. The
insurgent leaders seem to want to
twist the June primaries into a non
partisan primary contest, but the III
preme court says that it is not the in
tent OF the act, which seems fair.
The progressive managers have
boosted loud and long Of their legis-
lative record and have kept up as shin
ing examples and paragons Of virtue
their election reform measures such as
the primary election law which they
are now attacking, the corrupt practice
act, etc. They insist most vociferously
that all legislation endorsed and passed
by them was in the interest of the
many instead of the few for the peo-
pie as against the bosses; for justice,
fair play and decency in politics as
against fraud, deceit and corruption.
The insurgent leaders are without
faults or imperfections, for they are
infallibIe and are like Caesars wife
above suspicion, and 1t Is near sacri-
ligious for a stawart to question their
motives or acts. But they themselves
are criticising and denouncing their
own legislation and want part Of 1t
held for naught Consistency, thou art
a jewel. They are willing to deny their
own offspring. They now want to di-
vide the child of their own creation,
and say that the part which looks like
its mother is bad and vicious and dis
honest. The rest of the child Cthe pri-
mary election law they would have
look like it's dad, the personiication of
virtue, justice, highly beneficial and
necessary for the welfare of the people.
The section of the primary election law
which the supreme court held valid is
no more unjust nor unconstitutional
than the whole act itself. With the in
surgent leaders land office seekers),
anything they deem the least h~indrance
to getting a free ride into office is Of

sPups ARE THREATENED.

Just when North Dakota was gain
ing great fame for the excellence of its
potatoes-another killjoy proposition
is being discovered. 1t is claimed the
potato crop is threatened and that the
United States is likely this year to be
up against the proposition that has
been experienced by potato growers
In Europe.
Several years G potato wart was
discovered in Germany and Hungary.
1t spread to Scotland, Wales, Ireland
and elsewhere. Recently it was re-
ported in New FoundIand. 1t is now
stated that Scotch potatoes and spuds
from New Foundland have been
shipped into this country and some
have been sold for seed-therefore the
potato wart is to be expected here.
The department of agriculture at
Washington-in directing attention to
the spread of the potato wart"-shows
how terribly destructive it might prove
II once it obtained a foothold in the
United States. In 1910 this country
grew S2S,7s7,OoO bushels of potatoes.
The crop stands in sixth place in point
Of value, being eclipsed only by corn,
cotton, hay. wheat and BATS.
Shipments from New Foundland
which Canada-haying adequate laws
to cover the case-will reject are very
likely to be sen on to the United
States. 1t viii be necessary then for
American farmers to watch their fields
closely. Unless checked, this disease
may render potato growing almost too
hazardous to be undertaken.
