WILL Be PROSPER.
Gus YEAR FOR n. D.
MUCH MONEY WILL BE SPENT
IN STATE FOR IMPROVE.
MENTS DURING 1918.

The coming year gives promise
Of being an unusually prosperous
one for this state. Crop condi-
tions this spring have been most
satisfactory and the farmers work
is we'll in hand. The state as a
whole seems to feel that this is
to be a year of growth and deve1-
opment and from every part comes
news of building and progress.
The state spirit undoubtedly indi-
cafes confidence and belief in the
material well being of North Da-
kota' and determination of each
community to have part in the gen.
eral prosperity.
Not alone North Dakota money
is being invested in North Dakota
this year. Among others, such as
large wholesale and distributing
interests which are building in the
state,.. may be mentioned the rail-
way which are leaders in the amount
of outside money being invested
here. All three of the leading
systems are now actively engaged
in construction within the state
and several smaller companies are
also at work. Conservative figures
carefully complied show that the
states railway mileage will be In
dreased owe l20 per cent during
the coming summer. That means
over a thousand miles of new rail-
way.
North Dakota lead the entire
country in railway development In
1912 and the year 1913 promises
still greater gains.
It's a good year. Get your share
of the prosperity, develop your
business. A great state, growing
rapidly, offers you the opportunity
of generation. It's up to you.

A RAPIDLY GROW:
ING STATE IS n. D.
STORK LEADS GRIM REAPER
THREE TO ONE DURING
MONTH OF MARCH.

Even if North Dakota is "dry''
state, there is one crop that al
ways makes good and that is the
crop of new citizens Who make
their initial bow upon the stage of
the world, within the limits of
our good state. The March vital
statistics for North Dakota report
1,041 births to 368 deaths or near
ly three to one in favor of the
stork.
The only contagious disease re.
ported by the state health depart
ment where there are large num-
ber Of cases was measles of which
there were 245 cases in the state
in March. In recent address at
Grand Forks, attention was called
to the fact that an epidemic
of measles usually comes along
during house cleaning season and
the reason for this is that the
winters accumulation of dirt is
stirred up in house cleaning in
which there are germs of the dis
ease. the children breathe them
and there you are. The remedy is
to keep the house clean the year
around, rather than to accumulate
cleaning for the semi-annual ev-
ents. Less furniture, no carpets.
hardwood floors, etc., which will
simplify cleaning will help.

There is one real estate Arm in
Bowbells that seems to claim cred

made in Burke county, and many
of the people concerned are
strongly objecting to this manner
Of procedure on the part Of the
manager OF the said land firm.
Last week Herman Endreson pur-
chased the Jim Gagnum place from
Frosaker Bros. of the Bowbells
Implement Co., and he says he dealt
directly with the owner and had
absolutely nothing whatever to do
with any land agent. 1t made
no difference to the land agent;
he publicly announced that ,he

has done this over and over again

Gasolene took another raise on
Monday Of this week. During the
past few months it had been
wholesaling here for 20 cents per
gallon, this being the highest
price it sold for In the history of
the city, and many thought that
1t would rather go down In the
future instead Of up. The new
price is 20.3 per gallon, and If it

The proposition was gone over in
The Tribune last week, and all

COLLAPSED FROM

ELDERLY MAN TRIED TO MAKE

Berthold, N. D., May 5.-Weak

long journey, an elderly gentle
man sixty-one years of age, who
was elected from No. last
Tuesday afternoon, suddenly col
lapsed while walking down main

that jhe had been. stricken with

into DR.. Hissis' Office where con-

He gave his name as Joseph

his way from Virginia to Ross,
Montana, where: he expected to
spend his remaining days with his
daughter.
When he left Virginia he had a
small amount of money IN excess
Of his railroad. fare-ample as he
supposed for travelling incidentals-
but apparently the expenses were
heavier than he anticipated, and
upon his arrival here had but $1.25
left. Realizing that his money was
going faster than he had planned
the old gentleman endeavored to
make his little sum last until he
reached his destination by curtailing
his food allowance, and for two
days had gone practically without
anything to eat:

FARMER AND HIS
BANKING STATUS
FARMERS ARE IN A WAY RE.
SPONSIBLE FOR BEING BIG
GER LOAN RISKS.

In a recent address Asa E. RAM
say, of the First National Bank Of
Muskogee, Oklahoma, made the fol-
lowing statement:
want to see the time that when
a farmer applies for a loan, the
banker will not have to bet on
the ability Of the farmer and tho
favor of the seasons to meet the
obligation of his bank. I want to
see the banker ask how many silos
the farmer has, how many head
of hogs, good cattle and other live
|stock, what condition they are in,
and what attention the farmer pays
to dairy products and feed crops.
The banks would rather lend mon
ey at 8 per cent, knowing that
you have the stuff to meet the
obligation, than at the present rates
of interest charged. Simply by
changing agricultural methods, and
diversifying crops, you can also
change your standing at the banks.
Nothing in the world will keep
you from paying high prices for
foodstuffs unless you cultivate the
soil.
Bankers are always looking for
safe places to invest money. In
North Dakota, especially in the
western part Of the state, and In
other newer sections interest rates
on farm loans are high. Why?
Because, as this Oklahoma banker
has pointed out, the investment ts
not absolutely safe. 1t is bet, a
speculation. If the crop turns out
we'll there is a big return-but If
there is a poor crop, the bank will
stand to lose.
1t is because OF this fact that
the bankers are among the most
ardent supporters of the diversified
flaming movement in Moth Dakota.
They are backing up corn contests,
pork producing contests with liber-
al cash prizes, to get FARMERS in
terested in these things purely
from business basis. They know
that when the farmers are thor
oughly awake to the possibilities OF
diversified farming the North Dakota
farm will be a safer place to invest
money.
If any business men have offer
ed advice it is because they have
all learned from cold, hard exper-
fence that some farmers have made
a mistake, and because Of that mis-
take the entire community Is the
loser.

monthly drawing a cream check
Iof over $50. Both stores at Lost

this there are t25 cows and, heifers
that will be coming in later on.
Mr.. Cosand has rented out his $40
acre farm for this season and will
devote his entire time to dairying
business in the future. In a few
weeks he: expects to go down to the
big dairy districts OF Wisconsin
and Iowa and buy UP, one and
possibly two carloads of register

will keep himself and will sell
