Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 4.-Tbat the
North Dakota enforcement league
backed by the temperance organiza'
tions in the state, was instrumental In
bringing about the refusal Of the
United States to confirm the appoint
ment of Otto r. Meyer as receiver OF
the land office at Dickinson, is the
assertion of F. l.. Watkins, secretary
of the league.
Commenting on this action by the
senate, Mr.. Watkins said: 1T has
come to pass in the latter days in
North Dakota that man with a rec
ord of having violated the laws Of the
state. or, who, while holding office
has refused or failed to do his duty
in enforcing these laws, especially the
prohibition law, may not expect to be
appointed or elected to any office OF
large public trust where the protest
or the vote Of the people Of the state
can prevent it. The three great tenn
perance organizations Of the state are
a unit on the proposition and will fight
to a finish"

It is time now that farmers and
those who anticipate raising gardens
should begin to prepare to test seeds.
Millions of dollars are lost every year
through planting seed which are weak
in terminating quality. All kinds of
seeds that are to be planted should
be tested and under no circumstances
should seeds that are not strong be
used. This is a matter of the most vi
tai importance and should not be ne
elected. The seed question is the mat
ter that should receive first attention
as it is of the most importance per-
haps Of anything that confronts the
