a profitable, and enjoyable industry.
The farmers are getting tired of being
preached at, but never grow tired OF
seeing things grow, or being made to
grow bountifully. Present methods in
national government tend to put the
farmers in competition with all the
world, to set an example in the com
petitive system, making it necessary
10 produce the greatest amount for
the least compensation. Over against
this condition stand the powerful or
ganizations that tend to hold produc-
ton to a safe and profitable balance
with the demand, in nearly all indus
trial fields including skilled labor.
So far as North Dakota is concerned,
no state in the union is better equip
ped to supply the necessary credit to
farmers for their needs. The univer-
sity, agricultural college, experiment
stations, farmers institutes, country
schools, are all adequate and progress
siVe and practically in the hands Of
the farmers; representative govern

best interests and the interests of the
state. ..." -
In this direction we recommend fur

tural and. manual training in all the
schools, expansion of demonstration
farms throughout the country, also, a
better farming association. We rec
ommend untiring effort in maintain
ing cordial fellowship between the
farmers and their brethren of the
banks, the railroads and commercial
centers.
The uplift is on in North Dakota, and
the intelligence of the farmers is equal

that the facmers are operating on a
narrower margin of profit, considering
the property and labor involved, than
any other industry in this nation. I'm
der present conditions, dollar wheat

1t was inevitable that, with the
growing Importance Of Fargo as
financial and commercial center, more
extended facilities for gathering the
funds of money savers and pouring
them back into$ the industries of the
community should, be in demand.
With the new era of prosperity,
ushereds in by the 1918 harvest season,
large sums are finding their way to
fargo and North Dakota, with the re-
suit that this new wealth is now be-
ing distributed in the city. almost

Said an officer of one of the national
banks yesterday:
For a long time many Of our Gus
toners, who have done their CONNER
ciaI banking with us, have expressed
regret that we have not had "a regular

Rochester. MY, Sept. q In an
address before the state committee of
the progressive party, Colonel Roose-
velt declared in the election in New
York state this fall the dominant con-
Germ of the people will be to prevent
Tammany from obtaining complete
control of the state" and. ITO this less

He argued the predicanent in which
the state finds it's public affairs is due
to the failure of the people to elect,
last fall, a governor and a legislature
pledged to the carrying out of progress
sive policies. In voting against Tam
many however, Roosevelt urged the
voters to support the progressive par
ty to the end that they might defeat
Tammany without enthroning the
Barnes republican machine in it's
place."

litical Importance before the people Of

chief issue.

ar 50 5 National
Banks Will Extend
Their Facilities
The First National and the Merchants National Have Decided
to Open Savings Departments

believing that the convenience and
reasonable wishes of a banks custom
ers and friends are entitled to first
consideration-we have finally con-
cluded to install a regular savings de-
partment, where deposits will be re-
ceived in amounts so small that every
citizen, young or old, Z can save his
money and set it to working for him
self, and at the same time benefit the
community as a whole.
Until this move was made, Fargo
had no saving facilities under federal
supervision and control. We feel that
we are performing an important public
service in taking the course We have.
The matter of saving money is of the
greatest Importance to every individ :
ual, and in opening the doors Of a
strong national bank to all who care
to bring their savings here, we feel
that we are bringing new opportunities
to the door of many individuals who
might otherwise miss them"
Said another: "The sign of pros-
perity of any community is the extent
to which small savings are a factor
in its banking power. Fargo has al
ways been a city of opportunities, and
lit requires cash in hand to command
them. In opening our savings de-
#partment We expect to reach many
people who have not hitherto made a
practice Of saving. Every idle dollar
brought into the bank increases the
community's working capital. The
purpose of the new department Of
this bank is not to attract the de-
posts Of other institutions, but to aid
those who are unaccustomed to the
saving habit, to acquire it."

ought to farm, let us demonstrate the
methods by practical experience. In
other words, maintain successful farms
where weeds are cut out, profitable
