A SUGGESTION.

II you wish to be friend Of the
friend that is sick in bed, you viii
kindly not visit him in person; a
flower has the fragrance Of love, the
beauty Of smile and the firmness Of
healthy suggestions.
Go we hence and do thy daily work
for the sick need not your silly pratt
tie OF the affairs Of the day but they
need the good relaxing rest of the
great goodness Of sleep that their
natural powers and curative forces
may have the greater opportunity to
receive that great and beautiful body
The blessing of the growing child
is that it may have the great and calm
sleep, natural and true; each and
every mother Of children will tell you
that, and what better experience need
we hear from.
SO my dear reader, when you have
a friend sick in his bed, you must
necessarily be away from him; nee
essarily until it is necessary; neces-
sary from this fact, that the person
needs nurse and then let there be
"a system Of only one or two at time
and not all at once; for the many peo-
pie create an unnecessary noise which
would even make well person de-
clare it very annoying.

The government statistics report
that in 1913 the North Dakota crops
averaged 93.2 of normal or T04 per
cent Of the 1912 crop. In South Da-
kota, the 1913 crop is declared to be
sl,s per cent Of the average and 72.9
per cent Of the combined crop Of last
year. Montana raised crop equal to
a39 per cent of her normal crop and
equal to 90.s per cent of her crop a
year ago. North Dakota always COM
pares well with the surrounding states
and usually gives better account of
herself than any Of them.

NORTH DAKOTA IMPROVED
SEED GROWERS, CONTE

| The second annual North Dakota
Improved Seed Growers contest is
billed for Jan. Goth to oath, the week
of the Corn Show and Tri-State Grain
Growers convention at Fargo. We
have arranged to make this one Of the
biggest contests in pure seed growing
lever conducted
As secretary, wish to call atten-
ton to the fact that this contest
should have great value to all grow
ers. If they do not already have good
seed Of their own, they will be able to
get from those who exhibit, seeds Of
high quality. II there are seedsmen
who do not have full supplies for dis
tribution, they will be able to get in
touch with the growers of very best
seeds. The seeds shown at this con-
test must all be tested for purity and
termination at the Pure Seed labora-
tory before they go into contest. The
seeds which do not chance to win a
prize may be essentially as good IS
the prize winners. The score cards
will show the value of each lot for
planting.
Those who have seeds for sale will
find in this contest the finest opportu-
nifty to get in touch with those who
wish to buy.
Prizes are fine. The show will be
held in one of the largest buildings in
Fargo and there will be First Second
and Third prizes on all varieties OF
cereal, grains, corn, potatoes, forage
and garden seeds Several of these
prizes reach cash value of over S10G.
There are fine pieces of farm machin
cry, such as corn cutivators, tanning
mills, field sprayers, garden machine
cry, etc.
The contest is open to every grower
in North Dakota No entry fee. All
samples should be shipped by express
or parcels post so as to reach the pure
seed laboratory by January 18th.
Send one peck Of any of the cereals
(small grains), 10 ears of corn, 10
best potatoes, IL peck of any forage
or grass seeds. In the home grown
garden seed contest from IA ounce to
one pint may be entered according to
kind, such as lettuce, peas, onions,
beans, etc. In the vegetable garden
ing select plant contest-one best in
dividual for each variety, as carrot,
onion, parsnip, celery, etc. This should
represent the sender's ideal Of the best
type from which to grow seed.
The contest is under the auspices of
the North Dakota Improved Seed as
ISOLATION, but is open to any North >Da-
kota grower, whether member or not.
Remeber that you can send 20 lbs.
by parcel post.
Join the Improved Seed Growers as
ISOLATION. Membership 81.
The annual banquet, business meet
ing and social session occurs in the
Fargo Commercial club rooms at $50
p M, Thursday, Jan. 22nd. Will you
be with us?
Your motto should be: "The seed
which I exhibit is like the quality l
have prepared, or can prepare for sale
as seed"

The Independent understands that
the school board Of the Harrison school
district let the contract for furnishing
two heaters to q Fargo concern for
$82.50 each, whereas Minot concern
offered to furnish two heaters, said to
be even better, for s75 apiece. The
board would have saved SIS by deal
ing with the local concern, besides
what profit there was in the transac-
ton would have remained in Minot.
Two Of the members Of the Harrison
school district are Socialists. The local
dealer is not.

Farmers have had no complaint this
fall because of inability to do their
work. Many teams were seen in the
fields Monday, Nov. II. This is rath-
CIR later than usual. The air at this
writing is as balmy as in June. Little
fuel is being burned, doors and win
dows are open, and stock is grazing in
the fields. This may surprise some of
our eastern friends who have been
snowbound for several weeks.

The North Dakota Educational As
ISOLATION turned down the proposition
to teach sex hygiene in the public
schools, resolutions for which were in
troduced by J. Nelson Kelly, who is
in charge of the Grand Forks schools.

al young women. The association APP
proved of women suffrage and teach
ers' pensions.

They still stick to the whipping post
in little Delaware. Nothing else
seems to reach the heart of the wife
beater or the child starver. 1t might
be tried on these quacks in the cities
who for few paltry dollars are will
ing to send their ignorant victims to
the cemetery. Stick to the doctors of
your own town, who value their good
name. A physician in established
practice never travels, it looks suspic-
ious.

1t seems Bryan and Wilson do not
agree about their drink. Bryan likes
grape juice, before It begins to sting,
mind you. President Wilson prefers
orange juice and he hits us. Every
morning it is the business of White
House helper to squeeze a glass full
of choice fruit, which is served with
out sugar with the presidents toast
and bacon. If orange juice gives a
clearer head, let us try it awhile in
stead of our morning Mocha.

1t will be quarter of century in
1914, since North Dakota became a
state The event is a clear memory
for many residents of the state, and
also serves to impress upon the av-
eragc North Dakota citizen the rapid
lapse Of time. To many it seems but
brief period, few short years since
North Dakota dropped her territorial
garment and twin states were brought
into the great American union from
the once great prairie territory. Con-
gress officially invited North Dakota
into the union in February, 1889, and
on the Fourth of July the constitution
al convention met and statehood be-
gan in November, It is proposed to
have a reunion of members of state
constitutional convention, and cele-
bration of the 25th anniversary at
Fargo, a sort Of homecoming, as it
were, for many who are now outside
the state. About half the members of
the constitutional convention are still
living although some have removed
from the state. North Dakota's pro-
gress in 25 years has been remarka-
BILE in many ways-commercially, Soc
tally, educationally and in population.

That was great scheme in Joliet
last Sunday. The city was canvassed
and every Tom, Dick and Harry urged
to go to church. 1t worked to a
charm. Folks were in pews who had
not heard hymn for years. That
was in the morning, and the night
audiences were also large. 1t is hoped
that these wild people may find
preaching and singing so harmless
that they may keep going. What
would town be without churches :?
All should help to keep them up.

Be careful about reading every new
novel that comes out. The publishers
may praise it to the skies, it may be

make it proper book for men, women

So many accidents have happened
from taking poison for medicine that
a new plan is recommended. Make
the poison walls sharp on the outside
so that as soon as you touch you dis
cover what it is. In daylight labels
show the drug, but at night the mis-
take is made, and poison is swallowed
for paregoric. Of course, no sensible
person will take medicine in the dark.
But to protect the weak brethren
these porcupine bottles are to be used.
Ask your druggist and take no other.

We all desire to be beautiful, and
Lillian Russell writes that beauty
depends chiefly on three things, diet,
exercise and cleanliness. But so many
folks will not pay the price. They like
to eat and so they become fat and dys-
peptic. They are too lazy to work
and so their blood does not circulate,
and no roses are in their cheeks. They
are afraid Of water so they doctor
their skin with paint and powder. Doc
tors ought to advise men and women
about these things.
