THE PREACHERS ARE
after J|M:)AN-)EMS
Or. | J. Lansing Has Scored Sam
Clark's Popular Publication-Ciark
Making Mint Of Money Out Of His
Magazine.

At meeting of the Men and Re
Hgion Forward Movement held IN
Grand Forks, DR.. l. J. lansing, the
expert in charge, was asked by
jamestown man how the right think
ing people of North Dakota can get
rid of what he termed "a vile pam
phlet that comes from Bismarck.
Later in the discussion, the editor of
the publication was said to be Sam
man.
DR.. Lansing explained that such a
publication could be reached in sew
eral ways In the first place, he said,
ever newsdealer who sells it is liable
to arrest. Any citizen can appear
before the states attorney and swear
out a warrant. 1t was also pointed
out by an attorney that an action
will lie against the man responsible
and indirectly against the printing
establishment One of the Bismarck
delegates said that he understood that
the printing establishment has prac-
tically refused to publish the book In
! the future unless there is change
in policy.
Several of the delegates declared
their intention of taking action IN
the matter.
Clark is making a good thing out
of his Jim Jam Jems. It is reported
that the magazine netted him $1,000
in March, and the books we're in such
a demand that the third edition has
been printed. Many Of the newsdeal-
ers of the Twin Cities are handling
them and there seems to be q big
sale for them thruout Minnesota as
we'll as North Dakota.

FARMERS ORDERED
THEIR PHONES OUT
Merry War Between eertho'd Farm
ere and the Northern Telephone Co.
Farmers viii Organize System Of
Their Own. ...

Berthold, N. D., March 19.-Ob-
jecting to the demands of the Nor
thern Telephone company which now
owns and operates the local exchange
for a three year contract for rural
phones, the farmers have become
somewhat hostile and practically all
have ordered their phones taken out.
As result the telephone service ex-
tends only to the business houses in
town and few residences,
The farmers, however, do not pro-
pose to be without telephone service
and are contemplating building up a
new system.
A largely attended meeting with
th,s end in view was held In this city
]ast Saturday afternoon and within a
very short time over $1,000 was sub
scrtbed for this purpose.
Representatives from Taeus, Hart
land. Carpdo and other nedghborine
towns we're present, and all approved
the move and pledged to support OF
the respective towns.
This trouble between the telephone
company and the farmers has oeen
brewing for some time and several
conferences with representatives O.
tho telephone company has only wild
ened the breach. Another mass meet
ing of the farmers will be held next
Monday afternoon and 1t Is likely tna'
q delegation of business men VII
meet with them.

HOW THE CAMPBELL
PACKER IS USED
Surrey, N. D.,
March IS, 1912.

dllOr INDEPENDENT
The following clipping from The
dakota Farmer for March 15, may
prove ray of light in some of the
gloomy experiences in dry farming
during 1911:
TO Dakota Farmer: In your issue
of Feb. 1st, l.. r. Waldron and j.
A. Clark, reporting their experiment
in soil packing and rate of seeding
say the land was spring plowed to a
depth OF 10 to 8 inches and i'm
mediately pegtooth-harrowed. / would
like to say that we have been unable
to ct results with the Campbell sub
surface packer after the land has even
a very light stroke with very light
harrow For best results the packer
should follow the plow closely, and
the harrow follow the packer. The
packer does it's work below the sur
face, therefore, the surface must be
left loose to get the packer below
it--A. E. Tye, Emmons Co., N. D.
Mr.. Campbell was quite exact in
his directions for using his packer
but it is just possible there should be
a few "don'ts" to restrain the. over.
jealous apostle of the great dry
farmer. Yours truly,
J. W SMITH

NEDRUD'S PETITIONS

1. p. Weatherwax for County
Treasurer,

A. C. Nedrud was in from his LO-
gan farm Tuesday The old political
war horse has gotten his petitions out
and is preparing to enter into the
fight. Mr.. Weatherwax, who holds
the office at the present time, Is also
having his petitions circulated at this
time, and the contest is apt to be au
interesting one. Mr.. Weatherwax
has held The ONCE but one term and
will no doubt ask the voters to. re-
turn him on the grounds that "one
good term deserves another"

BOB LAF0LLFTTF
drew BIG CROWD
Senator from Wisconsin Talks to
Hundreds Early Monday Morning
and Tells Them to Address His Mail
to the White House After March 4.

Senator Robert NJ. LaFollette, can
.didate for President of the United
States, addressed a crowd Of nearly
1900 at Jacobson's opera house Mon
day morning at $3.50 o'clock. The
Senator had come out from Washing
ton expressly to make a number OF
addresses in the state, and had not
intended coming To Minot However,, :,
his friends in this city sent him a
telegram and urged him to speak in
this city Monday, the day prior to
the primary election, realizing that
hundreds of votes would be won for
i'im by so doing. LaFc.ictte consent.
ed and telegraphed r. A. Nestos
at midnight Friday night. There
was little time to advertise the event,
but the fact became noised about the
country to such an extent that hund-
reds of farmers were on the streets
as early as half past six O'Clock Mon
day morning, having driven in from
distance of a good many miles.
Others came in the night before from
the surrounding towns. Everyone
seemed anxious to hear the brave
little exponent of Progressive princi-
pies.
Tho Sonator was accOmuanied by
| his wife and his private secretary,
Miss Dunn, and Senator A. H. Smith,
of Merrill, Wis, Atty. Seth Richard
son of Fargo and H. n. rn:ker OF
Courtenay, chairman of the executive
committee of the y. D. Progressives,
we're also members Cf the party
While the crowds were waiting for
the arrival of the senator, Mr.. Rich
ardson, who. is an eloquent speaker
delivered an address.
AS soon as La Folette appeared IN
the house, he was loudly cheered
He was introduced by J. NJ. Devlne
and for an hour spoke to an audi
,nce that listened intently to every
word that he spoke. I-aFollette Is
noted for his lengthy addresses and
It was extremely hard for the sena
ator to say all that he desired in the
short time that he had to talk Yet
lie made an excellent impression.
Bob LaFollette is hard worker
and he has been laboring under an
unusually heavy strain which has tolc
uron him somewhat. He appears
little careworn, but still possesses
that energy that has won for hin
such a high place in the ladder o.
fame.
Starting he said: Il come to ap-
peal to you in the greatest Crisis o
this government since the Civil war
During the past II years the cost O
living has nearly doubled and there
seems to be no escape from it. Ther'
is no market in which one can bu!
or sell without the dictation of
dozen men. 1t means industrial slav'
cry All that our fathers fought TO
was freedom and freedom means re-
ligious and industrial liberty"
He then told of the merging of tn
railroads during the past few year
from 1000 in number to 1900, then T.
six great systems, the business beln'
controlled by dozen men.

GREAT NORTHERN
Will rent FARMS
Wants Fifteen or Twenty Farmers ia
the Various Sections Of Minnesota
and North Dakota to Farm Under
Direct ion Of Hills Experts.

The Great Northern railway COM
pany ocers 20 rent one acre tracts q
land from fifteen or twenty farmers
in each community thru which the
railway lines of Minnesota and North
Dakota extend. The company agrees
to pay eight dollars an acre, cash rent
for the land, furnish the seed free and
and give the farmers the entire crop
providing those farmers do their work
under the direction of James J. Hills
experts who will be sent through the
country to superintend the work.
Here is a good chance for the farmers
in Ward and adjacent counties to get
busy The following letter sent out
by the company explains in detail Mr..
Hills most liberal and beneficial
IDEAS
The Great Northern Railway COM
pany, through it's Agricultural Exten.
sion department., expects to carry on
demonstration plots in different Sec
tions of Minnesota and North Dakota.
We would consider the placing of an
expert in your community provided
that we could find from fifteen to
twenty farmers who would wish to CO.
operate with us. The general plan of
the work would be to ask each farmer
to take from three to five acres Of his
Land and cultivate it under our direc-
tions. We expect to furnish free seed,
and to pay $Sper acre for the farm
work, all labor to be done by the far
mer. We will place one of our rep
resentatives in the community to see
that these directions are followed to
the letter. We will ask the farmer tc
fertilize his soil with barnyard ma
nure, and if we deem it necessary, tC
also add a commercial fertilizer, said
fertilizer to be furnished by the Great
Northern railway copany and the
Price thereof to be deducted from the
SO per acre fee. The farmer gets the
entire crop.
will be in your community within
the next few days and would ask thai
if this meets with your approval you
select twenty reliable farmers with
whom we might cooperate. We ex
pect to confer with each farmer as tt
the crop he may wish to raise, and al
to the methods Of culture which he
may wish to follow. This work Is
along the line of good farming, and II
does not profit in any manner witt
the better farming associations nov
being formed in this state. This Is
an effort on the part of the Grea
Northern to push matters along it,
line and this policy will be followed
not only in North Dakota, but in othe1
states. There are number of com
munities asking for this cooperative
work, and arrangements must b>
made soon If we are to place a man II
your community. 81
Awaiting your early advice, am,

FARMERS Want A
LOADING PLATFORM
Surrey Farmers Petition the Crest
Northern to Install Platform At
Stock Yards-Roads Should Be Put
In Shape.

Minot hardly realizes the value Of
good roads and we fear that we will
awaken too late. A number of Bur
rey farmers, who live on 20 or more
quarters Of land in the vicinity Of tho
&. N. stock yards, have petitionoA
the Great Northern railway company
to install loading platform at tho
stockyards located three miles cast
Of Minot, that they may be able 10
market their grain without hauling
it across the hills to Minot. Some
of them loaded their grain in cars at
the stock yards last fall rather than
travel the hilly roads into this city
and it appears that unless Minot
awakens and sees that the roads are
put in first class condition, moro will
do So The farmers say they can sell
TO the MinOt elevator men and stin
unload their grain at the stock yards.
They would be willing to bind their
grain to this city, however, could the
hills De cut down sufficiently. II
seems that this is matter worthy
of consideration We need the busi-
ness Of the farmers and want them
all to make Minot their trading point.
