THE VALUE or OUR \.
COUNTRY STORE

An exchange makes the follow
ing interesting statement about
the farmer:
Great interest 10 being shown
BY many individuals, magazines
and farm papers in the welfare Of
the farmer. We have arrived at
. point where the public recog-
mixes that the farmer is . factor
in the prosperity Of the country
and unless he prospers no one
else will, but we lose sight Of the
necessity of other classes besides
the farmer himself. We would
prosper but little were all farm

It is an arrangement where in
the bank is sponsor for both

community would it be, if the
bank did all the business? Not
a store-nothing but a bank, post

instead of stores in rural dis
tricts they will have more ware
houses in the city. Instead of

local dealer, they will be miles

We also believe in the elimina-

REASONS FOR BUILD
ING THE snO

1. By means Of the silo more
of the food value Of forage can
be saved than by any other me-
thod of preservation now in use.
2. In a large part of the
Plains area it is possible to grow
a large tonnage per acre of corn
to the stage in which it should be
placed in the silo, j. e., in that
stage of maturity known as the
dough state" while the season
is. too short, the nights too cold,
and the mo strlre insufficient to
develop large grain crop of
corn. This forage can be saved
by the silo.
g.. The silo affords the means
keeping, in smah compass, a large
quantity of forage safe from the
weather and convenient form to
feed. 4.
4. Forage placed in the silo
keeps at uniform quality; wher
field cured forage constantly de
teriorates.
S. Considering the food value
saved, the silo affords the cheap
est means for forage preservation
6. Because of the palatability
and succulence, slage possesses
higher feeding value than does
the same forage dry cured. Con-
esrvative feeders estimate that
the silo doubles the ualue Of the
forage crop.
7.Silage can be used in summer
and fall as q substitute for and to
supplement pasture
8. It has been conclul lvely prov
en- that the sifo effects q con-
siderable saving in the cost Of
production Of beef, mutton and
milk.
9.The silo enables the farmer to
keep more live stock, which pro-
mot q the rotation Of crops and
the preservation Of the soil ferti-

Many Bushels
Shipped From Here
Four Steamboats, and Many Bar
ges Haul Grain to This Har-
Dor This Season

Very few realize the amount Of
work that is dome at this har-
bor. So far this season Capt.
Belk has made "a trips carrying
grain from up river elevators.
The other three boats have done
about the same amount of work.
Besides having a steamboat load
ed with grain, often one and two
barges are hauled along that are
loaded to the brim. This means
that there Is a very large guam
tity of grain shipped out of here.
on the 500 railway. So far there.
have been no shortage of cars.
The river elevator is run day and
night so there is very little de-
Lay when the boats reach the;
dock.
If the pleasant weather contin-
ues for two more weeks thresh-
ing will be about over. Some
threshing rigs have already been
hauled in for the season. Al
though the grain did not yield
as heavily as last year the ave-
rage is being threshed and the
farmers are hopeful of a better
crop next year.
Large quantities Of lumber, ma
chinery and other heavy freight
are distributed from this point
to towns along the river north.
Of here. No trips are made
either way that the boat is not
loaded down.

CONGRATULATE THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY

The Forum believes that the
democratic party is to be congrat
ulated' on It's success in framing
the. tariff bill which was passed by
the senate this week, and now:
goes to conference, with the as
surance Of the leaders of both
houses that it will be in the hands
of the president inside of two
weeks. There may be mistakes
in the present tariff bill, but it
is undoubtedly a mighty improve
ment on the Payne-Aldrich bill.
The people OF this country
says the Forum, put the democra-
tic party in power to reduce the
t-riff. The bill that they have
framed and passed has been a full
fillment of their promises, and,
The Forum believes, comes nearer
being what the people of the coun.
try want than any other tariff
measure that has been framed, at
least in recent times.
Pres dent wilson, to whose wis
dom, aggres-iveness and powerful
7 ersonality. has been due, in
large measure, the success in get
ting this bill passed, has shown
himself to be a big man. He has
been accused of being a dictator,
by the republican bosses, but he
has done nothing to imperil his
popularity with The people.
Naturally the old time, stand
pat republicans are anything but
demo ocrats. They are predicting
that the country w:ll 60 to the
dogs, which view they were ex-
pected to take.
As a matter of fact the new
democratic tariff bill, is q vastly
different measure from the last
democratic tariff bill. As Senator
LaFollette pointed out, in explain
ing his vote on the measure, it is
really protective and not a
free trade bill, although it has
free trade features.
The two senators from North
Dakota both worked against the
bill. Senator Met cCumber voted
against it and Senator Gronna
was paired with q democrat, being
absent and not voting. The Forum
believes that in their stand
against the measure, they are not
expressing the desire Of a ma
jority Of the people Of this state.

MEN SUGGESTED
FOR COUNTY OFFICES
Heaton Township,
Sept. Is, 1918.

Editor Leader:
have been reading in your
paper the correspondence from
Garrison and Underwood, copied
from the Bismarck Tribune s
special correspondent, and also
what the Turtle Lake Wave has to
say on the subject of candidates
for county offices. My idea is
that this is good time for the
people and taxpayers to take a
hand in this discussion and
propose few candidates them
selves.
The taxpayers are the ones that
foot the bills ard pay the freight
and should be very much interest
ed in getting men to run for Of
flee that will represent their in
terests. The politicians have had
their turn at the wheel too often
Of late in this county to suit
the detriment of the interests Of
the taxpayer. The result has
been that we have had num-
Der of men in office who have
demonstrated that when elevat-
ed to office they have lost track
of the fact that as officers they
owe. a duty to the people who
place them. in office. They have.
neglected their. offices and when
people have come to the county
seat to transact business with
their servants the officers would
be found absent from their Of
fices and you would have to come
again or transactsyour business
with deputy but more generally
with an irresponsible clerk-the
principal and his deputy would
be absent from their post. People
do not approve Of this way of
handling the county offices when
they pay good, liberal salaries.
The salaries paid are sufficient to
warrant man to put in his time
attending to his office. People
like the idea of transacting
business with the principal. The
office hours adopted now are
only eight hours each day and
this is short work day comparet
with those that the farmers and
taxpayers are putting in. It is
not asking too much Of your Of
ficers and clerks to put in eight
hours each day when the ones
that pay their salaries are putting
in from twelve to sixteen hours
each day and at that are receiv-
ing but meag.,r retu~.is for their
hard work. / have talked with
my neighbors about this. in
equality and We are all agreed in
this neigalborhoo ood that if we are
to get Q remedy for this we
have to take q hand in politics
ourselves and not leave every
thing to the poli4iciane and. slate
makers. What We should All and

More Property
To Be Taxed
Hospitals, Armories,, Posts and
Lodges Will be Affected by
New Ruling.

state tax commission last week
Judge Carmody, assistant attor.
ney general, holds that the ex.
.emption from taxation under stat
laws of hospitals, lodges, posts
armories, ETC., are in conflict
with section l76 of the state con-
situation. In accordance with this
ruling of the attorney general 8
office, the tax commission will
proceed to place upon the tax
rolls Of the state such properties
as come with in the illegal ex-
emptions. This will involve the
property running into the mil
Ions Of dollars and will add many
thousands of dollars to the income
of the state as well as the local
taxing districts.
Section 176 of the constitutions
only exempts property used ex-
,cluGvely for religious, cemetery,
educational or charitable pur-
poses, as well as the property
of the United States, of the state,
county, township, school districts
and municipal. corporations and
not to exceed 5000 for each indi-
vidual tax payer.
Judge Carmody held that all Of
the first eight sections Of chapter
$50 Of the session laws of 1913
amending section 1885 of the Re-
vised codes Of 1905 are constitu-
tiond except that portion Of sec
tion 6 which exempts hospitals
under the control of religious
and charitable organizations used
in part for charitable purposes
and dormatories and. boarding
halls owned by religious societies
This will effect every hospital in
the state as well as the church
dormitories at Valley City and
Grand Forks and possibly in
other cities Of the state. ss4
Section 9 is held to be un-
constitutional. It exempts posts,
lodges, chapters, councils, COM
mandaries, consistories and like
organizations. This will effect
all of the lodges and kindred or.
carnations, such as militia COM
panies, armories, ETC., in the state
In brief, any property in No. Da-
kota not used extensively for re-
ligious, cemetery, educational or
charitable purposes, must pay "a
tax. This will probably take in
chamtauqua associations and kin
dred organizations.
The opinion did not deal with
section 10 exempting fair asso-
cations, but there seems to be no
good reason to believe that
they a.e exempt under the consti
tuition. 4.
Attorney General Miller also
furnished ain opinion to the tax
commission that under the con-
stitution they were authorized to
assess the lease sites of elevators
on railroads rights Of way. This
insures the asse sment Of about
5000 elevator sites in the state.

CUBS BEAT WHITE S0x
Big Jim Vaughn Was Cool and Held
South Siders Safe.

Chicago. Oct. 10.-In a thrilling thirteen
inning game, the Chicago Nationals made
the standing in the Chicago champion
ship series, one and one yesterday after
noon, downing the American Leagues be-
fore 1858. The victory of the Cubs was
due mainly to the courage and GOODNESS
of big Jim Vaughn. who refused to
give way before the vigorous attack OF
the South siders.
The game was a ragged one and poor
plays were important factors in it as
good ones.
In the fourth inning Chappen, whose
timely hit in the eighth pushed Chase
over with the tying run. let loose wild
throw, Schalk muffed a throw from Lord
that let in a run and Bodie misjudged
Archer's short fly so badly that two
runs counted the hit and the Cub
catcher drew up at second. Score:

MORRIS FOULS SMITH.
OkIahoman Hit Low on BOdy-Favor-
lite With Crowd.

New York, Oct. 10.-Gunboat Smith,
of California, defeated Carl Morris, OF
Oklahoma, in the fifth round of a ten
round fight here last night. The referee
DISQUALIFIED Morris for fouling. The
California heavyweight had the better
of the match in every round except the
second. Morris was "a pounds heavier
than his opponent and was very clumsy
and awkward, often trying to get the
better of Smith by sheer force of su-
perior weight. Smith did the cleaner
work bv far.
In the first round Smith did lot of
holding but managed to get in several
good blows The second round went to
Morris. He rushed Smith to the ropes
and at close quarters got in left and
right t. the head. Morris did some
roughing in the third and was caution
ed for holding. Smith landed a right
swing to the head and put his right
four times to the body. There wero
cries of foul in the fourth round when
Morris hit Smith low, but the referee
disregarded them. Morris sent left and
right to the head while Smith got to
the Oklahoman's body. Smith stag
gered Morris with a right to the head
and Morris resorted to holding tactics
Gunboat sent three hard rights to the
head and Morris went into a clinch.
Morris sent a right to Smiths jaw as
the bell rang. In the fifth. Gunboat
rushed and put a hard right to the
body. Then Morris landed both hands
to Smiths body, Smith coming back
with right to the wind. Morris sent
a right to the head and was then eau
toned for holding. Morris played for
the body. Smith got inside and sent
a short right hook to the head at close
quarters. In g mixup which followed,
Morris hit Smith very low on the body.
Smith staggered to the ropes and tried
to pull himself toward his corner and
the referee disqualified Morris.
Morris was the favorite and the
crowd cheered him loudly as he left the
ring, Smith being Kissed as his sec
onds assisted him to his dressing room.
