A solution of the problem OF the
high cost Of living is one of the ma
tional questions of greatest IMPORT
ance to all the people Of the country
That the chief executive of the ma J
ton welcomes all ideas which will be
of assistance in solving this great and
vital question is proved by the en-
thusiasm with which he has just
recognized the offer of the city Of
Dubuque, Ia, to answer any and all
inquiries about her famous market.
Mr.. Cotton was president OF the
American Association Of Commercial
Executives which recently held its
sixth annual meeting in Louisville.
and at that meeting delivered an adj

posed to the institution of marriage,

challenge to debate the issue of Chris

No More Americans
Will Be Killed by the
Bullets From Mexico
FARMING IN NORTH DAKOTA,

Fl. H Windsor in Popular Mech
anics: Here is a story Of the sue
cess of two young men who went
from the city to North Dakota.
Each had about $4,000, of which
$4,000 was put into machinery.
This provided them with two pow
erfuI traction engines and the
necessary equipment Of farming
machinery. Operations were be-
gun with breaking the raw land
in March, 1911. BY November of
the same year the young city
farmers had marketed 100000
worth of fiaxseed, which was haul
ed forty miles to the nearest rail-
road station. The entire under
taking was managed on modern
lines: A days pIowing with each
engine was estimated at twenty
five acres, but when the crew by
saving time turned thirty acres in
one day, they were given a bonus
OF 50. Thereupon thirty acres per
day became the usual thing.
The same broad gauge. liberal
policy characterized the whole un-
dertaking. The most competent
men obtainable were hired and
well paid, the aim being to do the
largest amount of work that could
be done we'll in day and pay ac-
cordingly. Neither OF these young
men had ever raised any flax, but
they went to the agricultural sta
tion and thoroughly posted them
selves. This was a success which
could not have been obtained with
mere ability, willingness and
pair of hands; it required capital,
yet it was brain and initiative
which won, for not only was the
crop itself highly profitable, but
the land advanced in value in that
one season more than the entire
expenditure for machinery.
In these days the really success
full farmer must possess brains
and machinery.

What he then said on this subject and
it was correctly quoted in the news

Popular government we all believe in.
There are those of us who don't be-
