as soon as the old one shows signs Of

Mr.. Jensen tells us he raises large
quantities Of mangel wurtzles which
he feeds his hogs in the fall.
Last year out of four brood sows
he sold over $440 worth of pork, be-
sides five hogs which he killed for
home consumption. Another fact
about his methods of feeding hogs
that struck US favorably is that he
raises a patch of barley each year and
as soon as it gets into the dough stage
he turns his hogs into it.
Mr.. Jensen's favorite breed Of cattle
is the grey Durham, of which he has
an especially fine herd.

William Wendt was born under q
lucky star. He will be elected super
intendent of schools of Ward county
in November without opposition. No
one seemed to care to oppose Mr..
Wendt in the primaries and his name
alone will appear in the non-partisan
column for this Office. He's capable
and accommodating and will make a
good superintendent. He has been
deputy for years. We are sorry that
we have no cut of Mr.. Wendt to run.
He's really one of the handsomest
candidates in this campaign.

This is commencement week at the
Minot State Normal school. Large,
appreciative crowds have attended
each of the functions. The first year
of this institution has been a success
for beyond the fondest expectations
of anyone and next year will see q
large increase in attendance. North
western North Dakota has just begun
to realize what an educational boon we
have in this institution of learning.
President A. G. Crane has done re-
markably good work and more can be
expected of him and his excellent corps
of instructors next year.

Mustaches and boards seem to be
going out. A smooth face makes a
man look younger. If his hair is gray,
there is at least no frost on his face.
However, gray hair is honorable, and
old men cannot hope to pass for gal
lants Of thirty. Shaving takes time,
barber shops are not always conven-
lent and your hand is nervous, and
threatens danger to the skin. Lowell,
Grant, Longfellow, Darwin looked very
dignified in their boards, Abraham and
the patriarchs never shaved.

One of the hardest primary election
campaigns in the history of the state
and Ward county, as far as some can
didates are concerned, has come to a
close. There are no doubt some dis
appointed candidates, but they couldn't
all expect to win. After breathing
spell of a month or so, the fall cam
paign will begin. A spirited campaign
requires time and some money and
sometimes we wonder if it's worth the
effort. Still there are always plenty
who are willing to serve.

Here is something that at first sight
appears wrong and foolish and yet is
doubtless true. Flies are more dan
gerous that bed bugs. Good house
keepers are more ashamed of the bed
bug pest than of the house insect that
falls into coffee. The reason is that
bed bugs can bite all night and your
health will not suffer, but the terrible
house fly carries the deadly typhoid
germ. So Of the two evils choose the

Now and then, the nurse or doctor
speaks of a "baby girl" as arriving

So many bank failures that people
become nervous. Bank officials who
use the earnings of careful depositors
for daring speculations in wild cat
schemes, are worse than highway rob-
bers. There should be a law to send
them to the pen. Our city has been
fortunate in her moneyed institutions.
The only safe investment is mortgage
on farms. They never burn. Never

Of all the flowers, geraniums seem
to be the popular favorites. Two rea-
sons. No other flower brightens
the lawn like scarlet geranium, and
then they bloom all summer. Tulips
are gorgeous while they last, and roses
are picturesque for June, but we want
flower that will be a perpetual de-
light. Keats thing of beauty is joy
forever. So we cast our vote for the
old fashioned geranium.

PRODUCTION PER ACRE.


Of the various problems involved in
successfully and profitably raising
wheat, none seem more vital than the
production per acre. Our ability to
compete successfully in the worlds
market with our surplus product ap-
pears to depend largely upon this. The
table below gives the average produc-
ton per acre of several wheat raising
countries in the decade of 19O3-1912:
Average bu. per A.
Great Britain
Germany -3O.l
Austria 1913
Hungary observation-disclosures
United States
European Russia ----------- 81
It is evidently not primarily ques-
ton of soil, for neither the soil in
Great Britain nor Germany compared
in fertility with the black lands of
Russia's vast European plain, nor that
of the United States. The low produc-
ton of Russia indicates only too clear
ly that unintelligent labor, however
cheap, and Anticipated practices are
but poor substitutes for modern labor
saving machinery and up-to-date ag-
ricultural methods. The land in Ger
many and England has been titled for
centuries, and yet these countries head
the list in production per acre. Such
statistics as are available indicate that
the cost of raising wheat in the North
west provinces of Canada is somewhat
greater than in our northwestern
string of wheat states, because Of the
higher cost of farm labor and of ma
chinery and the lack of as cheap and
adequate transportation facilities.

minors all but rs OF their players on
or before May 15 may be- abandoned,
according to dispatches received here
today from Columbus, o. Manager
Hank ODay of the Chicago Nationals
is reported to have have outlined a
new rule by which the majors may
each carry under contract as many
players as they see fit and thus leave
no loophole for the Federals to get
promising recruits farmed out to the
minors. 7o
It is said that majority of the
American and National league are
aware of the contemplated change in
the rule and is in favor Of it.
