BIG DEMAND FOR
CREAMERY BUTTER

The White creamery manufactured
10000 pounds of tutter this season,
most Of which was sold right in the
Minot territory. At least half Of this
butter was shipped to Chicago and
placed in cold storage and then re-
turned to this city. It cost 1919 a
hundred to ship the butter to Chicago
and 81. ~ per hundred to ship It
back. With a cold storage plant IN
this city, this item Of expense might
have heen saved. Creamery butter
was sold in Glenburn, Lansford, sher-
wood and other surrounding towns
that never handled much Of 1t Eefore.
At Ambrose, where the merchants
failed to handle it, drug store bot
supply and worked up a big bust

Too many North Dakota farmers
and business men have been salts.
lied 10 keep the even tenor Of their
way, and allow the unearned mere
ment to bring them comfortable liv.
ing for the future. In many cases,
however. the business man has been
compelled to meet competition so
that he has not been benefited by the
growth of his community alone. The
farmer on the other hand has in most
cases proflted by the progress of the
state. It has meant for him AN in
crease in the price Of his land. He
has been making money in addition
to what he has earned each year.
The unearned increment is slowly kat
surely making him wealthy.
North Dakota has a host Of progress
sfvo farmers who are repaying soci-
ETY. many fold for this unearned in.
orement. But there are some far.
mers who have been profiting thus
aud have given nothing In return
Every class Of people owe q duty TO
their state, to the community, to
their family, yes, to themselves. The
farmer Is not exempted. To society
he owes the improvement Of farming
methods, the increasing Of his grain
production, and above all, conserva-
ton Of North Dakota's fertile soil.
The state depends on him for It's
wealth and progress and the duty to
make good rests upon him.

The Better Farming Movement in
this state is a good one and the work
is spreading rapidly to new communi-
ties. The idea isn't so much for an
expert to educate the farmer, as it IS
for certain experiments to be tried
out in the various communities where
the results are apparent. Thus the
farmers will he able to compare re-
suits and get an Exchange Of ideas
that will prove Of value. Many
things are learned about the farming
game every year.

We realize. magnify and reflect the

II there is any tax at which we

subject challenges the admiration Of

The recent campaign for the office
Of county superintendent Of schools
proved one thing very clearly and
that is tho law regulating the mileage

is a very "lame law" and should be
amended. The defect can be cured
by prescribing maximum limit &C.

into consideration the difference IN

INDUSTRIAL BOARD
URGED BY SOL0NS
House and Senate Bills introduced
Fostering Plan Suggested by the
President in Special Message.

In both the House and Senate bills
were introduced. respectively, by Repre-
sentative Hughes, of New Jersey. and
Senator Borah, OF Idaho. yesterday after
noon calling for the creation Of an indus
trial relations committee and thereby ad-
vancIng one step a plan urgently desired
by President Taft.
The bill carrying out the Presidents
recommendations for the creation of a
commission is regarded as opportune be-
cause OF the present industrial unrest
at Lawrence, Mass, and in other Sec
tions.
On February : President Taft, in
message to Congress, recommended the
early establishment of a Federal COM
mission on Industrial relations, declaring
that special Investigations heretofore
made have been "fragmentary. incom-
plete, and at best only partially repre-
sentative or typical" The President sug-
gested that the commission should in
quire into existing relations between en-
ployer and employe, and the various
methods that have been tried for main
tanning satisfactory relations between
them and for avoiding strikes.
The Hughes bill. which Is similar 10
the one introduced in the Senate by Sen
ator Borah. provides for the creation of
commission of nine members, to be
appointed by the President. not less than
two OF whom shall be employers of labor
and not less than two OF whom shall be
representatives OF organized labor.
The Department of Commerce and La
Dor is authorized to cooperate with the
commission in an attempt to bring about
more harmonious relations in the indus
trial world.
The House and Senate Committees on
Labor probably will hold hearings within
a short time on the Hughes and Borah
bills. and among those who are expected
TO appear in behalf OF the measures are
Miss Jane Adams. of Hull House. Chi
cago: Louis d. Brandeis. Or. Lyman
Abbott. Samuel Gompers. Edward T De-
vine. Arthur p. Kellogg. Allen T. Burns.
John NJ. Glenn. and others interested In
labor and SOCIOLOGICAL reforms
