Result of Michigan Election Contest.

The result of the contested election
case Of w. J. Macdonald against Olir
Young for the seat in Congress of d
Michigan district, which ended in {
report favoring Macdonald, a Bull
NIooser, is that Representative Rucker
Of Missouri will introduce a bill re-
vising the campaign publicity law il
some important particulars. Minority
Leader Mann contends that revision is
necessary, and adds:
The present provisions of the law
practically amount to nothing so far as
any offense is concerned, or a failure
to comply with il. Nobody has ever
and probably nobody ever will bt
prosecuted under the existing law ever
if a prosecution lies, which l doubt.
This would show that Congress is
in the unenviable position of having to
make over its own enactments. The
Young-MacDonald case was the first
to reveal the inadequacies of the law
on which account perhaps the Con-
gress was inclined to be lenient with
the offender. This was its finding:
It does not appear that the failure
OF contestant to comply with the law
was willful or on account of ulterioI
purposes. The money contributed was
not an unreasonable amount and was
from a source that was legitimate, and
the failure of contestant to file an affi-
davit within thirty days following the
election. as is provided by law, when
as a matter of fact, no expenses had
been incurred subsequent TO the afi-
davit filed on October 70, 1912, cannot
have been to avoid the disclosure that
such an affidavit might reveal. The de-
linquency of contestant lies solely in
his failure to comply with the law
within the time required.
Macdonald last April filed an afi-
davit with the Clerk of the House,
showing that he had incurred no cleo
ton expenses, which the law required
to be reported subsequently to the
filing of his statement before the cleo
tion of October. 1912. He also filed
an affidavit that during the campaign
of 1912 he had received contribution
10 his campaign fund of 5000 on be-
half Of the National Progressive party.
The new Rucker bill will attempt
to strengthen the existing status so
as to impose a penalty on the can
didate who fails 10 live up to the letter
of the law.

PROMISE OF BRILLIANT FUTURE In
WORK ON VALLEY CITY SCULPTOR

That Valley City is the home of a
young sculptor whose work will one
day equal the best that America has
ever given to the world, is the opinion
of those who have watched the devel-
opment of Paul Fjelde, who has for
several years made his home here
with his mother and family.
That those who have been so fav'
Orably impressed with his work are
not alone in their opinion is evidenced
by the fact that dorado Taft, probably
the greatest authority in the United
States as a critic and sculptor, has
not only taken Mr.. Fjelde into his own
studios and given him employment
and instruction, but has declared that
In him there is a genius which will
give the world art greater than any
American seen until now.

portunity was given him to obtain
practical instruction. ..
Soon busts of various models began
to make their appearance, and it was

real art realized that here was a
young man with real and unusual tai

Of more attention to the selection and

From now on the fields of corn

The easiest method Of selecting seed
from the field is to sling a bag over

HOME GROWN SEED CORN,

North Dakota is rapidly becoming a
live stock as we'll as a grain state,
says communication from the Bet
ter Farming Association. One of the
most economical feed crops that can
be raised Is corn. Corn in order to
have its maximum feed value must be
mature. In raising corn then the aim
should be to produce the greatest
amount Of mature corn per acre-this
can not be obtained unless more at
tention is paid to the home selection
of seed. There is no reason why
North Dakota can not produce as high
grade seed corn as they do wheat, bar
ley or oats. We need large supply
of home grown seed for planting our
own fields. 1t Is true that farmers in
general are beginning to realize the
value of good strong home grown seed
Last spring there was great difficulty
experienced in getting good live seed
from the neighboring states and few
farmers were successful in securing
seed from some of the neighboring
counties and also a few were f0rtu-
nate enough to have their own seed
which was selected from their fields
last fall. This seed Is Enthusiastically
way ahead Of the purchased seeds
such as comes from seed houses
which in turn comes from neighbor-
ing states. There Is at the present
time a difference in maturity of from
ten days to two weeks in favor of the
home grown seed as compared with
the imported seed or such seed that
has come from the states of Mime
sofa and South Dakota.
Corn selected early from the field
and properly stored is reasonably sure
to grow and give perfect stand when
planted next spring There is a d.
rect relation between the stand of
corn secured, the yield of corn pro-
duced and the profit from the crop. 1t
costs no more to grow field of corn
having perfect stand than it does to
raise a field with so per cent stand.
There are three ways in which
farmer can be benefited by selecting
his own seed.
First: He saves the expense of buy.
ing the seed corn which usually
amounts to five dollars a bushel. Con-
sidering the fact, however that one
bushel will plant approximately eight
acres, this saving is not so great.
Second: If the seed is picked be.
fore the frost and is properly cured
and is then put to a severe test be.
fore planted, the farmers can secure
seed corn that will produce nearly a
perfect stand Of plants. This is one
Of the greatest economies that accrue
to the farmer who saves and properly
cares for his own seed corn.
Third: Home grown seed will ma
ture. This means maximum feeding
value. 1t is invariably true that seed
corn brought from neighboring states
is never mature before the first frost
in the fall Very often It ia only in
the milk stage. As a result of this
condition we often hear the express
sion that such corn will give lot of
fodder anyway. The feeding value of
corn frozen in the milk stage however
