Editor Pensacola Journal:
Commission government Of cities
has appealed to me from the begin
ming of the movement. In my opinion,
It offers an opportunity to get econ
omy without sacrificing efficiency. My
idea, If elected, is to devote my ut
most energy towards the development
of a scientific city government, based
on common sense, judgement, and a
close study of the mistakes of other
cities under the same system.
You are about to elect three COM
rnissioners to look after the affairs of
the city. In my opinion, the issues of
this campaign are:
Bravery,
Business, and
Brains.
These three, properly co-ordinated
in one intelligence, should make a
good commissioner out Of any healthy
man who is earnest and honest, and
not afraid of hard work

SELECTING
SEED CORN
FEW FARMERS HAVE ENOUGH
SEED CORN-ONE BUSHEL
PLANTS SEVEN ACRES

Grand Forks, March 27.-Few far
mers save enough seed corn. One
bushel of shelled corn will plant from
seven to eight acres. One hundred to
one hundred and twenty selected ears
will make bushel of shelled corn.
At this rate it will take from twelve
to fifteen ears to plant one acre. 1t
should be remembered, however: that
the firc1 selection is not always per-
feet: and oftentimes, upon second Sc
lection and termination test, half OF
the first selection will be thrown out
thus it seems that there should al
ways be selected in the fall 1T least
twice ac much as the farmer expects
to plant.

RELATIVES
ARE ALL SAFE
LOCAL PEOPLE RECEIVE WORD
THAT RELATIVES ARE SAFE
IN STORM DISTRICT

A number of local people have
relatives living in Omaha, Neb., and
the district which was swept by a
terrible storm early last Monday
evening, and in which it is reported
that 200 people lost their lives.
Before any details of the storm
were received here Arthur Spetman,
of the U. S. Land Office, received a
telegram from his folks, who live at
Omaha, saying that they had all es-
caped rnharmed. Miss Mildred Nc
MILAN, has a brother at Omaha, and
she also received a wire indirectly
from him to the effect that he was
not among the injured.
The storm was one of the worst in
the history of the middle western
states. The syclone covered a wide
area. Communication with the storm
swept section was practically cut off
The governor of Nebraska was call
ed upon by the city officials of Omaha
for several companies of militia to
patrol the storm swept sections OF
the city, and prevent looting and help
in the search for the victims of the
catastrophe.

GAVE A GOOD
DAIRY TALK
INTERESTING DISCUSSION OF
SUBJECT OF IMPORTANCE
TO THIS SECTION

The meeting scheduled for last Fri
day for the purpose of discussing
dairying and creamery interests was
fairly we'll attended, considering the
sudden cold snap, and the short notice
on which the meeting was arranged.
About forty persons were in at
tendance to listen to the excellent
advice on this subject given by State
Dairy Commissioner R. F. Flint and
his assistant, E. A. Greenwood.
Those who were fortunate enough
to be present feel themselves to be
fortunate indeed, by reason OF the
fact that they received many new
ideas and impressions along the lines
of practical dairying and the benefits
accruing therefrom
There is nothing in the wide world
that will do more toward putting any
community on solid foundation H.
nancially than a public interest in
creameries and dairying.
The successful creamery means a
stability of business conditions that
can be secured in no better or sur
er way, and it is an industry that IS
independent of wind, weather, frosts
or anything Of that kind.

COAL FIELDS
ARE BURNING
REPORTS SHOW THAT MINES
HAVE BEEN BURNING MANY
YEARS

Hundreds of thousands of tons of
coal, says the Washburn Leader, are
being consumed in western North Da-
kota by fires which are burning in
undeveloped mines and action will
probably be taken to halt this wanton
destruction of the states natural re-
sources. Evidence regarding the de-
struction of Ignite coal by fires was
received at a hearing to investigate
the possibilities of the North Dakota
coal. The state geologist reported
that there are approximately $4,000
square miles of coal beds in the state,
with an estimate tonnage of 500,0O0,-
100000 tons.
"The burning bluffs" along the Mis-
souri river and over the western part
of the state are mentioned as far back
as the reports of the Lewis and Clark
expedition, oldest inhabitants declare
that many of these burning Bluffs
or Ignite beds have been shoulder
ing ever since they came to the ter
ritory. Miners claim that the fires
can be extinguished, and there is a
movement on foot to turn the task
over to an experienced engineer.

MANY ATTEND
ANNUAL BALL
MILITARY BALL ONE OF MOST
ENJOYABLE FUNCTIONS OF
THE YEAR

The second largest crowd that ever
attended military dance in Williston
was that present at the Seventh An
nual Ball, given by the local company
at the Gates Hall on Monday evening.
More than one hundred couples were
present.
The grand march, led by Capt. and
Mrs. Evans, started at $3.50 o'clock
after which the programs for the reg
ular dances were issued. Eighteen
regular dances, and three extras made
up the program for the evening. A
large amount Of work on the part OF
the militia boys had put the hall in
very presentable condition, bunting
and flage being used in the decora-
tions to good effect.
The music furnished by the Onstad
orchestra was excellent. The pro-
gram was concluded shortly before
o'clock.
A number of visitors from out of
town were here for the dance.

GOOD SHOWING
REPORT OF STOCK YARDS SHOW
STATE STANDING SECOND IN
SUPPLY OF CATTLE

St. Paul, March 27.-A study of the
report of the St. Paul Union Stock
Yards shows number of interesting
facts with regard to the supply OF
cattle, sheep and hogs, which annual
ly arrive at South st. Paul. Among
other things it is shown that North
Dakota in comp arison with five other
Northwestern States, namely, Min
nesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, South OAK
ota and Montana, comes second IN
point of animals supplied, with the
exception of sheep. Montana leads
in sheep shipments, with North Da-
kota second. ......
The figures for North Dakota in the
wears named are as follows:
Cattle and calves, 1906 shipment,
14O,178; 1912 shipments, SO,54l.
Hogs, 1906 shipment, 1886; 1912
shipments, 66,044.
Sheep, 1906 shipments, 39,979; 1912
shipments, 59,972.
1t will be noted that 1912 shows a
falling off in live stock shipments.
This is true of North Dakota, Mon
tana, and of Minnesota in part. The
unsatisfactory crop conditions is held
responsible for this.

HANNA CUTS
COMMISSION
CONTENDS THAT COMMISSION
WOULD COST STATE MORE
THAN $4,000

Bismarck, NJ D., March 24.-Gov-
ernor L. B. Hanna this afternoon
vetoed the appropriation for the state
tax commission, provided for j., S. b.
221. ....
In his message to the secretary of
state announcing such veto, the COVER
nor contends that the commission
would cost the people of the state ap-
proximately $4,000 during the bien-
nial period; that the legislature in
stead of making such appropriation,
should have made provision for sim
gle tax commissioner who could have
carried on an inquiry into taxation
conditions at saving of approx
mately $4,000 during the two-year
period, and he also contends that as
good results would be achieved in that
manner.
The veto of this bill, under which
provision was made for salaries for
the commissioners and for their ex-
pdnses, leaves the tax commission
without funds for either purpose. 1t
is contended that it practically abolish
es the commission.

MANY BOOKS
IN CIRCULATION
REPORT OF LIBRARY SHOWS
HOW 1T IS BEING USED BY
THE READING PUBLIC

It has been suggested that though
statistics are dry an occasional sum-
mary of the library's output gives
the public who support that library
some idea of how their investment is
paying. Hence the following figures:
There are now on the library reg
lister one thousand two hundred and
thirty names, about one hundred Of
which has been withdrawn by re-
moval. Four and fifty names are on
the juvenile register, and the chill
dren's circulation proves that they
make good use of their cards
The total circulation for the three
weeks of March just past amounts to-
one thousand two hundred and thirty
eight volumes, or an average of sixty
five books day. Twenty-one per
cent of these are non-fiction, or an
average of about fourteen books day
along the "solid" lines of reading.
These are scattered over a wide field
but travel leads with forty-six books
in the past three weeks. History
makes close second, with forty-one
volumes circulated in the past three
weeks. About two thirds of the his
tories were for juvenile readers.
The highest circulation for single
day was ninety-two on March first,
and the highest weekly total four
hundred and eight during the second
week in March. Three hundred and
seventy-four people have been in the
reading room during the past three
weeks, the Sunday attendance alone
amounting to seventy. Forty five peo-
ple have asked for reference material
at the desk and others have looked it
up for themselves so that the number
of questions which the library has
answered for various people probably
amounts to at least twenty week.
But it's reference resources have
scarcely been touched as yet. The
new Nelson Loose-leaf encyclopedias
alone is a mine of information, and
is supplemented along many lines by
magazine and other material. There
is no reason why anybody should 60
without the information he wants SO
long as the library can supply it. The
statistics prove it is being used but.
not at all up to its capacity for use
fulness.

ATTENDED TAX
CONFERENCE
COUNTY AUDITORS MET WITH
TAX MEMBERS AT MINOT
LAST WEEK

County Auditor, NJ. H. Aaen, last
week attended the meeting of county
auditors with the Tax Commission,
which was held at Minot. Members
of the state tax commission, lnclud-
ing L. E. Birdsell, Frank Packard and
George Wallace, were in attendance
at the conference with dozen or
more of the county auditors of the
northwestern counties of the state.
Among the counties represented were,
Ward, Burke, Renville, Divide, Will
liams, Mckenzie, McHenry, Wells and
Mountrail.
Problems of assessment and equall-
xation were discussed at this meet
ing. The members of the tax commls-
sion are endeavoring to get the view
point of the various county auditors OF
the state on the question of increasing
the assessed valuation of the state.
The members of the commission are
very much in favor Of increasing the
valuation, contending that there will
be no additional raise in taxes as
result but that the rates will be lower.
The auditors were urged to inform
the assessors in their counties and
the people generally to see that all
property is assessed at its full value
and declared that the commission and
equalization boards would see to 1t
that townships following that advice
did not suffer in disadvantages.
The members of the commission are
seeking information and it is the views
of the county auditors from every sec
ton of the state which they are seek
ing to learn in these conferences.
Four conferences are being held, one
at Fargo, one at Grand Forks, the
one at Minot and one at Bismarck
next week.

NEW TRAIN SERVICE

Plentywood Herald:-The new train
service which was put into effect on
the Bainville- -Plentywood branch on
Monday, March II is certainly a great
improvement over the old mixed train
which we have heretofore had to con-
tend with. Instead of the train 60
ing from Bainville to Plentywood, it
now runs from Williston to Plenty
wood arriving here at HAS a. M,
and leaves at ! AS giving those COM
ing to the county seat ample time to
transact their business. The freight
arrives here at 1900 o'clock noon and
leaves when it is made up. With both
of these trains running, the towns on
this branch certainly should receive
the very best of service.
