DELAYED RETURNS.

The law permits the precinct COM
~mittsennen three days to get the re-
turns to the county auditOr-and some
OF them take advantage of it. The
three day provision was inserted many
years ago when transportation was
dificult and also because there might
be certain weather conditions which
would make it hazardous for the cleo
ton officials to carry the returns to the
auditor.
There Is no longer q necessity for
such delay. There ID not a precinct in
the state from which the returns
could not be sen to the auditor within
t~wenty-four hours after the ballots
were counted.
The election returns are matters OF
public Importance. Every man with
an active interest in the results wants
to know who won. The election Of
fetal who is negligent in turning in
his rsDort shows his public be
damned attitude.
In Fargo the returns from one of
the wards were not sent to the county
auditor till the second day after cleo
tion--and n OF the townships did not
report till the third day afterwards
or four full days after the ballotins
began. Neither of the tardy ones

SATURDAY. MARCH 2s, 1919,
sEAUTIFYNa FARGO.

! Spring is officially here. There are
iikely to be a few cold days and Far
goans are not urged to shed their
! fannals. The women should exercise
q little care and not be in too big a
rush to hang the canary out on the
porch-but the warm weather is APP
preaching. There are ample evidences
of that. The inexcusable filth on the
streets is convincing proof.
Now that the springtime is ap-
preaching SO nearly--Fargoans should
give some consideration to making the
lefty more attractive. This is essen
italy a city OF homes. These and
I&heir Surroundings can be easily i'm
proved. The conditions here are such
that lawns and flower beds can be
'Wtarted and maintained cheaply. Sweet
peas and other hardy outdoor flowers
,wrOw here in the greatest profusion-
and the none investment is nsEli-
There are hundreds OF back lots and
vacant spaces that a be utilized and
beautihsd. Gardens for vegetables are
both useful and a great deal more or
narnental than weeds and rubbish.
Nothing looks more shiftless than
waste spots covered with debris. They
detrnet from the impression that the
t0Wn would otherwise make on the
vazstora and keep down the value of
the holdings Of adjoining property
owners.
FE0w 10 q good time for Fargoans to
plan thSir spring and summer i'm

Nn4H important work.

nor 1t sets the contest between him
and Roosevelt for progressive support
on a lofty stage with the nation for
audience.
They who are satisfied with progress
in doing things as distinguished from
progress in talking about things will
view the contest with a new complac-
ency Of detachment. The friends of
President Taft in North Dakota con-
slider that it vas not their funeral
and have prepared no mourning.
The peculiar situation in North Da-
kota cannot be precisely duplicated in
any other state, but some Of it's fea-
lures are national. If Senator LaFoI-
lette should regain his physical vigor,
between hiro n Mr.. Bryan. Colonel
Roosevelt is likely to find himself IN
the unaceustomed position of defend
ant under cross-examination, instead
Of brilliant prosecutor for the people.
But, in the name Of common fair
ness, let us hope that he will not have
to play the scapegoat in many states
for the kind OF supporters who climbed
upon his band wagon in North Dakota
and swamped 1t.

FOSTERS FORECASTS
tcOpyrishted By W. W. Foster. 1sOs-l

April 5, eastern sections April z.
Cool wave will cross Pacific slope
about March 5, great central valleys
March s, eastern sections March 10.
Ter aratures of this disturbance
will .erage lower than usual and
not much rainfall. The only important
feature will be the unusually cool
weather. The month of April will
average warmer than usual in the
states and from about to a little be-
low normal in Canada.
Rainfall Of April will be very much
scattered and uneven. From Manhat-
tan, Kan, to Albany, N. Y. in a wide
strip, rainfall will generally be above
normal while a few places in that strip
will have a deficiency in moisture. In
most of the cotton belt rainfall will be
deficient, but near the Gulf coast and
in Cuba more than usual rain is ex-
'pr For Canada the rainfall will
varied but generally below
Is normal for April.
arly all northern sections are
well Supplied with moisture as the
soil was generally wet when frozen
last fall. String wheat should be
sown so as to mature by Sept. 10 as
about that time frosts r expected.
1 advise planters to put cotton only
on low or fat land this year as a gem
eral rule. This will not suit all parts
Of the cotton belt but it will be the
best as a general rule. In fact most
parts of the cotton belt would better
plant and SOW only such crop as will
mature early.
AS I see the 1912 crop weather ii
will go to extremes more than once.
Now very dry, then very wet. These
conditions will be pointed out in these
bulletins as we come to the months.

bureaus were in possession of this
weather forecast system the calcula-
tons could be given to everyone a

I'll N. o. PRIMARIES.

/ The recent presidential preference
primaries the results - have
caused a great deal Of editorial COM
nnsnt. The following from The Min
nSapolis Tribune IL somewhat typical:
Tremendous potency remains in the
American people when it knows ex-
tGc4ly what it wants. 1t is only when
u cannot see clearly that it seems list
5ses and vacillatins.
The people Of North Dakota knew
.Axactfy what they wanted and saw the
Way to get It clearly, and they voted
6kRaiGht AZ a die. Nobody can fail to
,EEnasrstand this, however little he may
Rympathise with all the objects they
sought.
That makes the election Il strong
cordial for those who dare now and
fEasn to doubt the capacity Of this
generation Of Americans to govern
,R~henselves. They may not exercise
khe power as steadily as they should
lHnd they may not always use It wisely,
Jbnt they will exercise it powerfully
lAwhen their minds are not confused.
The minds Of outside observers Of
tkhe North Dakota primaries we're con-
fused by the glitter Of big and compel
ling names and personalities. Not so
the people OF Dakota. They saw these
big am n shining personalities
For the shadows they were and voted
through them to the solid realities Of
objects they wished to accomplish.
The people Of North Dakota went
,Anto the primaries with two deep and
E~Fesolute purposes. To accomplish one
Hkhey ground the unfortunate Taft to
powder; TO accomplish the other they
gently lifted their old time idol, Roose-
welt, from a hard bronze pedestal and
bet him comfortably on a cushioned
HBhelf.
Yet we do not believe they hate
Taft personally more or love Roose-
5Eeit personally less. But they detest
Ekhe idea of Canadian reciprocity repre-

republican state machine accidentally
and deplorably represented by the
other.

was q big success. William Rusch
opened the programme with an able
discussion on the relative merits of
the monoplane and the biplane. In
his recitation, The Rider of the Black
Horse. George Dixon showed some
fine ability which received loud and
just applause.
MI. Steele of the Dakota conserva-

scored a big hit. The students declare
that his singing alone would make any
entertainment a success. Paul Gra-
ham gave an interesting lecture on
the Cherry Mine disaster.
Miss Olson showed excellent dra-
matte ability in presenting the murder
from Macbeth. Her encore SCI
lection Of an Irish Love Affair vas
also fine. The victrola and the high
