THE BOYS AND GIRLS,

Fargo is today in the hands of the
youth Of the state. Youth Is always
fresh. always Astounding in animal
spirits, always enthusiastic, but the
youngsters who have come from all
parts Of the great rolling prairies Of
North Dakota as the guests of the
agricultural college seem to have these
characteristics to an unusual degree.
The people of Fargo have never ex-
tended a heartier welcome than goes
out spontaneously to these happy
young folks, and it is an old Scrooge
indeed. who does not feel his pulses
quicken as he hears their snappy yell:
Diversity,
Corn, alfalfa. pigs and rye;
Rap-a-tap, taD-a-tap.
Who are we?
Winner at the grand A. G..
Practically every county in the state
is represented with from two to ten
delegates and when they all get to-
get1er there is something doing every
minute. Every one Of them comes to
Fargo because of his or her own mer-
it, all of them being prize or place
winners in the potato. corn, butter
making, sewing and cooking contests
conducted under the auspices of the
county superintendent of schools Of
their respective counties.
This institute was originated by
Professor RandIett. 1t serves many
purposes. the most important of which
is to get the boys and girls interested
in the work of better farming as cx-
emplified at the A. c,
The country life conference is also
heartily welcomed to Fargo. 1t held
it's first sessions a year ago and there
is a marked increase in attendance
and interest this year.

SAVING FOR FARM

There has been from 80 to 35 per
cent more blowing done in North Da-
kota this fall than in any other sea-
son in the history Of the state. The
long continued Indian summer wealth
er has been responsible.
Farmers plowed all through Novem-
her n the first week of December.
Those who failed to get their work
done in due season had a full month
extra in which to complete their
work. q
The late blowing is not usually re-
garded as the best, but it is highly
advantageous should the conditions
next spring be adverse. 4
Other great advantages Of the long
period Of warm weather are the great
saving in fuel and feed. Stock have
run at large without feed thirty days
longer than usual and are in magnifi-
cent condition. The fuel bills Of the
average North Dakotans are at least
so per cent less than the average year
at this time.
The warm weather had a bad effect
on business. generally. There has
been less fuel and clothing sold than
Yer before and all kinds Of business

$500, 900, 900 FOR GOOD ROADS.

A total of 1854, $780, 1865 was expended
on roadmaking in the United States in
1912, according to federal statistics,
Probably this was considerably .ex-
ceeded this year. In 1904 this total
was but $79,771, AIT. In other words, 1t
more than doubled in eight years.
More than this, the expenditure per
mile doubled; nor does this total in
clude a vast amount Of work donated
by Individuals, 1t does not include the
work done by farmers to open their
oWn ways to markets or to establish
highways. It only includes what got
onto the tax rolls. #s
In 1904 there were but thirteen states
that regularly gave state aid to road
making from a general fund. In 1912
this number had increased to thirty
five. This contribution in 1904 was
but $2,607, 600, in 1912 it was $43, 1851, =
438. OF this amount $33,370, 900 came
from the four states of New York,
Pennsylvania, Maryland n Con-
| nectiCut.
New York contributed just over one
half and it would seem that only a
fraction of this was honestly used. In
fact, with this annual expenditure now
reaching 5000, 600, 900 annually for
roads, if this vast sum was honestly
and economically expended. the United
States in a decade would have the best
roads in the world as we'll as immense
ly the largest mileage.

The Minneapolis Tribune in its
review of the wheat situation
If the present crop season is to
be no exception to the rule, a
steady reduction in the visible
supply of wheat is to be expected
the remainder of the season.
Large crops are invariably mar
keted heavily the ~forepart of the
season and moderate yields move
slowly from the farms to the dis
tributinE Centers. In market jar
gon, the small crop has Il long tail
and the big crop a short me.
Since last summer the move
ment Of wheat has been on a very
free scale. While the commercial
demand has been big, the liberali-
ty of the 1913 production has not
only permitted a greater con-
sumption, but has maintained in
sight a heavy accumulation to
meet forward requirements. In
addition. much wheat remains in
northwestern country elevators
and the winter wheat holdings out
OF sight must still be heavy.
The wheat crop, however, has
passed largely out of first hands
and Is already placed in the ter
,minal markets to meet the win
ters demands or for delivery on
the May contract. There is no in
.dication of any p~aucity of wheat
TO meet the seasonal needs for
domestic account and a fair for
aeign demand. 1t is the floating
supply that is relatively small
which is the reason for the verv
strong tendency in cash wheat
prices. The wheat most available
Tor the milling and export trades
lis we'll held and the profitable ar
Tying charge, with little free
wheat moving, tends to force cash
wheat to a premium basis.
= Under these conditions there is
scarcely any fresh pressure from
,unhedged wheat and a good pro-
portion of the current primary re-
eeipts is merely the transfer Of
holdings from interior points to
the distributing markets. The
basis for probable price movement
comes chiefly from the necessity
of drawing upon the terminal
stores to meet the necessary needs
,tof the domestic and foreign &C
counts, which will result in the
lifting of hedges and the removal
ss5of just that much weight off of
,8the market.
I With the market practically
dominated by commercial condY-
&tions, the incentive for specula-
3Itton is a missing factor in the pit.
#WThatever inspiration it has had
41tn, the way of unfavorable Crop
.developments in Argentina and
India has failed to affect, materi-
ally, domestic prices. 1t has, how
ever, strengthened the interna-
tional position of wheat and to
that extent has placed the domes-
tic market in closer touch with

Elsie De Wolfe, society woman and
former actress, has begun suit in the
federal courts to test the constitu-
tionalitN OF the income tax law,
passed in the special session Of con-
gross. Whether she did his on her
own account, or was urged to it by
some of her wealthy friends of the
society of New York who must give
up something from their incomes for
the tax, is not known.
Miss De Wolfe is a bosom friend
Of Miss Anne Morgan, who inherited
several millions from her father, the
late j. P. Morgan.
1t is probable that the millionaires
of New York and Chicago who want
Wolfes case go on to the United
begin individual cases. The income
up by a member Of a. prominent
brokerage firm of New York, and was
finally declared unconstitutional by
the supreme court after the change
of a, vote.
Miss De Wolfe has not acted for
some years. She had some vogue on
the stage due largely to the fact that
she had come from society. But she
was not successful enough to be
lured permanently to the stage life.
Yesterday, when the case came up
for hearing before Judge lands, he
decided he did not have jurisdiction
which puts the whole case directly VI
to the supreme court.
