COM. ALEX MILLER
CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF

Alex Miller, when in Max last
Friday stated that he had decid-
ed to become candidate for
sheriff of Mclean county OIL the
Republican ticket. Mr.. Miller is
one Of the earliest settlers in
this part of Mclean county. He
was in business at old Coal Har-
Dor, and when the rails were laid
into Garrison, he moved to that
place and engaged in the livery
business. About six years ago he
filed on his homestead south Of
Max where he has since made his
home.
Mr.. Miller has always taken
an active interest in the affairs
OF the county, having been twice
elected commissioner from this
district, and at the time of the
organization Of Stevenson county
he was appointed by Governor
Burke as one of the commission
ers Of the new county, being the
only republican appointed on the
board at that time. Mr.. Miller is
a farmer who has had the advan-
and his conduct for the past
tage of a business experience
four years while member of the
board Of county commissioners
shows that he knows and realiz-
es what the farmers and business
men expect Of their officials.
II elected sheriff of Mclean
county, Of one thing you can feel
certain, and that is that he will
do his duty regardless of friend
or foe. He was successful
man and he is successful farm
er and, during the four years
that he has been county COM
missioner, he has shown the same
rare Judgment and foresight in
looking after the interest of the
county that he has shown in the
of his own private af-
fairs-always on the lookout to
see that the money Of the tax
payers is spent where it will get
the best results.
Alex Miller is the only candi-
date from this neck of the woods
for any county office and we be-
lieve we are entitled to some rep
resentation in the county seat, so
that we will not feel as total
strangers when we go down to;
the county capital" and by
gingo il We cannot have one
friend down there, IL start a
county seat of our own.-Max En-
terprise.

Governors Favor
Convict Road Work
Twenty-Five States Chief Exec
utives Have Placed Them
s'# selves on Record

Twenty-Five governors have
placed themselves on record as
favoring the working Of convicts
in the construction and repair Of
highways, according to a COM
plication Of the discussions of
prison labor recently issued by
the national committee on prison
labor.
Convict road work is advocat-
ed by the governors both be-
cause Of the healthful nature Of
such work and owing to the fact
that convicts who have been en-
paoyed in this way can more
readily find employment when
released; while many Of the gov
ernors also point out the benefit
to the public from better roads
secured at minimum cost.
The consideration given to
convict road work by the COVER
nors is an indication of the inn
portance attached to the matter
by the, people throughout the
country. The governors present
ed many different viewpoints,
but careful study Of their state
ments shows that roadwork, when
conducted on a basis fair to the
convict and the state, will go far
toward solving both the convict
labor problem and the problem Of
good roads.

BIG SUPPLY OF CATTLE
AND BEEF IMPORTED

Minneapolis journal: The burea
of animal industry begins to re-
port statistics of imports of cattle
and beef under the free list of
the new tariff. The increase is inn
pressive in PERCENTAGE, but small
in comparison with the domestic
consumption and proportion
needed to reduce prices percepti-
bly,. On the whole, the stimu-
lating effect Of imports on do
mestic pro oduction Of animal food
is, LIKELY to change the cost of
living more than the direct addi-
ton. - ,
In October and November, most
~ under the new tariff, animals
imported for immediate slaughter
mostly from Canada, amounted
to about 10000 and stockers and
feeders for fatting, mostly from
Mexico, to nearly 10000. This is
nearly three times the imports fo
the similar period in 1913, about,
fifteen million pounds Of fresh
and refrigerated beef came in
from Canada and Argentina, No
comparison is furnished with the
year before, but the doubling
from October to November i'm
dicates an important increase
under thenew tariff.
After all, the most significant
addition to the food supply of
the country is the opening or
foreign ranges to breed cattle
cheaply for feeding in the United
States These take the place of
rangesniseRr closed, and
abandoned heressW With restoration
Of peace; supplyof range cattle
for feeding should increase rapid
" and heavily from the almost
hmitless pastures of Northern
Mexico.
Before long the process will
display the folly of letting our
domestic range industry decay.

In speaking Of the good quail

feet. And it's durn good logic.
Every town in North Dakota
should rejoice at the advancement
of every town and community

ing up your own town helps your
neighbor to build up his town.
Bringing the matter home, take
Oakes and Glendale, for instance
two good towns. Their citizens
should rejoice with the other town
in the country and lend emcour-
agement in their upbuilding.
