RETIRING ON THE FARM.

Retiring from ones work is one OF
the most serious steps that man
can take. Especially is this true OF
the farmer. Usually it means NOV
ing to town. Life in town is entire
ly different from life on the farm.
One accustomed to farm life can hard
ly adapt himself or herself to town
life at that period Of life. This re-
suits in being out of touch with ones
environment, in the absence OF ac-
tiyities to keep one occupied. From
being an important factor in the farm
community one often becomes a neg
lible one in towns or even worse--a
knocker.
WHY MOVE TO TOWN? The rea-
sons given for moving to town are
many-educatin the children, modern
conveniences in home, less work, etc.
The schools in towns are as rule
better than those in the country but
the reason they are better is that the
town people tax themselves SO as TO
have the money necessary to maintain
good school. BY consolidating the
schools and putting up the school tax
as high in the country as in the city
Just as good schools can be provided
in the country as in the town.
The modern conveniences can be
had in the country now as we'll as in
the town and usually at less cost.
Less work in town-less work of
some kinds-blt after all, no one can
he happy and healthy unless the mind
is occupied. The one who is used to
active, muscular work for a good
many years will not remain healthy
without some exercise.
A good way for a farmer to retire
is to select a lot of to Is acres on
the old farm and build on it the mod
ern house, a small barn, also with
modern conveniences, and a poultry
house. Here one can live the life
that one is used to in the way that
has beome second nature to one.
Here there will be something to hold
ones attention and to supply some
work to take the place of the accus-
toned activity.
The school problem can be solved
by consolidating the schools. In this
way as good schools can be had in
the rural district as in town. In fact
it will be letter school as it. will be
IN closer touch and harmony with the
farm and farm life.
In most cases it is a sad mistake
for the farmer to retire to town and
especially SO when the things that he
moves to town for can be had on
the farm and with all the advantages
of the country in the bargain.

RE|SHUS STANDS

Office not only self-supporting. but
the surplus Of fees received, has been

For the seven years ending Janu-
ary 1, 1912, I have recorded 134,6s4
real estate instruments and filed
more than $4,000 personal property
conveyances. ...-
The total fees collected for these
seven years amounted to $179,714.14.
The total expenses in salary and
clerk hire was $74,s7s. Sc, which left
surplus in. the county treasury CT
$1O4,735 SO, splendid showing l

Quoted the office economically.
But profit to the county has not
been my main object. My first aim
and ambition has always heen to SOC
to It that the work entrusted to me
as Register Of Deeds was DONE
RIGHT.
Have l succeeded? The voter can
investigate. for himself. The looks
are open for inspection at my Office
at all times. If the voters will care
to make inquiries Of those who have

am given credit for good service.

SCIENTIFIC METHODS
MUST COM e

"oot SoNI
The American workman receiving
from two to five dollars a day de.
mands higher wages because of the
high cost of living and blames the
farmer when wheat exceeds dollar
a bushel; while the average wage OF
the workmen of India is $3.50 a year.
where the price of wheat has been
known to rise to $3.50 bushel.
What is the cause of this difference
between India and America? Only
this: In India the absolute needs OF
the population exceed the. food sup
ply, while in America our food SIP.
ply still exceeds the needs of the pop
ulation. But what is our population
and what is to be? Seven millions
in 1910. Seventeen millions in 1910.
Thirty eight millions IN 1870. Seven
ty-six millions in 1900. Ninety-two
millions in 1910 And will it be $50
millions in 1910, and 200 millions In
1860? If not, why not? The Dopula-
ton of India, estimated at 50 millions
liz 1850, now exceeds 300 millions
Is it now clear, therefore, that more
people mist raise food products and
that slovenly and haphazard methods
of farming must give way to the
ways pointed out by science? The
average American state expends An.
nually less than 2 per cent of her
revenue towards the development OF
permanent and proper systems OF
agriculture.
North Dakota should lead in this
regard.
