When Major Person went 10 Wis
cousin last year and brought In some
first class mich COWS, disposing Of
them for $50 for the best. many did
not believe that he was merely get.
ting cost out of those cows. They
know better now Those same cows
are worth good deal more money
today.
The Independent is glad to see the
farmers SO anxious to secure good
dairy cows. 1t will prove the saliva
ton Of this country. No danger of
too many going into the business,
Why. only last winter. a merchant at
Crosby sold 700 pounds of butter to
farmers in less than a week, and this
butter was shipped in from Wiscon-
sin.
Mr.. Elsberry deserves a great deal
of credit for being one of the pio-
neers in the dairy business in north.
western North Dakota. While what
he has done has naturally benefited
himself to a great extent, he has also
made it possible for others to possess
themselves eli some high grade stock.

VALUE OF MILITIA.

One Of the lessons to be learned
from the terrible food catastrophe
IN Ohio and Indiana, is the value of
the state militia in case Of great
emergency. At a time when all or
ganized civic authority is disrupted
and absolutely inadequate to cope
with situation It Is nightly comforting
to know that there is an orsanizcd
tody Of men like the state militia
to fall back en-.
Were 1t not for the militia, and the
prompt work that 1t has done in
shooting down hooters, many Of the
devastated flood districts would today
be at the mercy Of prowling human
wolves. who would flock there from
all over the nation In the hope. Of
loot. But the boys in khaki are on
the job and these despicable brutes
will sneak back to their lairs. There
is a ray of comfort for both the
victims Of the disaster and their an
xious friends in the outside world
to know that they at least have this
protection.
There has been some criticism in
the past about Fargoans not allowing
memters of the local militia in their
employ, the time to properly train
themselves for service in case they
are needed. It is hoped that this
lesson will bring home the fact that
they do not know but that tomorrow
they may themselves be dependent
on these same boys in khaki for
the safety Of their property and per-
haps their lives. Forum.
