LAND ACTIVITY.

Gates considerable activity in Wells

from Minnesota VINO bought num-

and in all during the week there were
eleven sales of land. The Free Press
expresses the belief that a revival of
land sales is in sight in Wells county.
There are indications that all farm
lands in North Dakota are likely to be
in demand before another six months
passes. Land which will grow corn and
alfalfa is bound in time to command
fancy pirces, but better still will be

farmers. All that is needed now to in
sure general success among the farm
ers is to get away from the idea that
there is any money in raising grain,
even at war prices. Grain raising
should only be a side issue, and the
thrifty farmer should aim to feed all
the grain which he raises.

OUR RELIEF FUND,

The Belgium relief fund which is
growing daily, is not receiving the lib
eral contributions that ought to be
coming in but still there is no cause
for encouragement. This fact should
be remembered, if bushel of wheat
or a sack Of -four is contributed, the
wheat will be delivered to the needy,
free of all charges. Col. Amasa P.
Peake at the head of the relief work
in this county states that he will see
that the printing shops do all printing

THE ALCOHOLIC MILESTONE.

wv. J. Bryan in the Commoner)
The democrats of the nation have an
issue to face, and they may as we'll
prepare for it. The liquor interests
are at bay; they are on the defensive.
They realize that they have but few
more years in which to fatten upon
the woes of their victims, but they are
fighting desperately and are willing to
hold any party between them and the
fire.
The democratic party cannot afford
to shield the brewery, the distillery
and the saloon from the rising wrath
of determined people. Democracy is
the nations hope on political and
economic questions it not, by TAX
ing sides with the liquor interests, re-
pei those who put moral issues first.
The young men of the country are
democratic by nature, but they will
not submit their claims to political
preferment to those who conspire
against the home and everything
good-neither will they find pot house
politicians congenial party associates.
The president has set high stand
arde in intelligence and morals, and
the party cannot afford to lower the
colors to gain temporary advantage.
Those whose support depends upon
subservience to the liquor interests
disgrace the party while they are with
it, and then leave it if it refuses to
obey them. They are a milestone
about the party's neck. The democra-
tic party is the party of the future
it has a chance to enter the Promised
Land-why allow the liquor interests
to lead it away into the wilderness?
Get ready for the fight.

BARGAIN MONTH IN VALLEY
CITY,

Perhaps no city in the United States
has ever offered so many splendid
bargains in all lines as are being ad-
vertised in the Times Record at this
time. Whatever excuse there may
have been for sending for goods in
the past, surely there is none now.
Several of the very best stores in the
state are here and most of them have
a special sale that is real mark-down
to sell sale. The reason is perfectly
plain and logical. In the early fall an
ticipating higher prices on account of
the war, large stock in many de-
partments was bought and later when
it was found that the demand was not
so large as had been anticipated and
that the eastern wholesale houses
were unloading at a sacrifice, the VAL
ley City merchants decided to offer
the public the benefit of what is in
measure their mistake in overstocking

MORE ABOUT BOOZE.

The grain which American distillers
converted into wniskey last year (34,-
O39,277 bushels) would make two
loaves Of bread apiece for 100000
families for six months. II would feed
the starving Belgians for year. The
grain which the brewers made into
beer last year would have made 1885,
158,604 pounds of bread-enough to
feed the refugees Of the war of all
Europe for many months. The econ

HOME TALENT.

The following is an extract from a
letter recently published which came
from the pen of Mrs. Thomas Edison,
and might be of interest to some OF
those who are looking forward to
wearing foreign made clothes or lis.
tening to the singing of the European
songsters.
For a number of years as have
visited some of our best houses and
leaders of fashion. I have begged the
designers to use their fine brains and
great talent in creating an individual
style for our women.
"NoW, if. our women recognize this
talent, the designers will do this, and
we shall have in dress a national indi
viduality equal to the greatness Of
our country in other lines. Why
should We be mongrels following first
Paris, then London. Berlin, Vienna,
ETC., and not their best form at that,
but allowing the big houses of those
various cities to put on our backs the
demi-monde type, we accepting it be-
cause it is imported? For the past
three or four years it has been impos.
isble to go upon our streets without a
shudder. Surely our designers can
make for us stylish, more womanly
costumes. Should We be willing to
wear clothes which do not distinguish
us from our most unfortunate sisters ?
Let us demand of our manufac-
turers the finest of material and fab
RIGS; let our women use the brain they
the blessed with in aiding our design
ers and manufacturers.
"The same is true in other voca-
tons. Music and art Of all descrip-
ton is unpatronized unless foreign
label designates it. A singer must
have come from abroad, in fact must
change his name from plain American
Richard to Ricardo, the imported
name, before he is recognized as a
singer.
"Mr. Edison in his search for voices
! for his phonograph has made trial re-
cords of more than three thousand
singers in nearly every city in Euorpe
and almost an equal number of trials
; in America. He finds that as rule
the European voice is afflicted with a
very disagreeable tremolo, variable
timbre and poor interpretation
whereas the American voice is far
more frequently free of tremolo, has
fairly even timbde and as to inter-
probation the American far surpass
the European singers. But notwith.
standing that fact the Americans de-
mand that foreign talent.
when are we to form our own
opinions and be independent enough
to stand for our own expression? At
one time it may have been necessary
to gain knowledge abroad, but not so
now. We have learned and have
great people in our midst; should we
not now pause and enjoy that which
, we have?
Can we not chow ourselves an ad.
vanced nation when we compart OUT
methods in war with those of the pres.
ent terrible conditions in Europe?"

Animal aptly pays trlDute I'D tne 1Ol-
lowing language:
Of all the animal creation the best
friend to man is the homely COW. AS
a food producer she is our mainstay
and dependence. From the newborn
babe to the aged invalid we are all
more or less dependent on her for our
very existence. Her produce COM
mands the highest price in all the
best markets of the world. Without
her we would be deprived of many of
the luxuries of life and not a few of
it's bare necessities. Without her the
infant would cry in vain for susten-
ance while the nations of the earth,
deprived of her life-sustaining pro-
ducts, would become impoverished
and disappeared.
In prosperity and in adversely the
COW is every mans best friend. She
can be depended upon to do her share
in lifting the mortgage from the old
homestead She piles the tables of
the rich with rare and costly viands.
She paves the way for many poor
farm boy to enter the high school and
the agricultural college. She tides the
farmer over the hard times and helps
boost him into prosperity When he
has fallen into a rut and "a friend in
need is a friend indeed" she can be re-
lied upon to come to the rescue and
with her produce set him on his feet
again. Indeed, it may be truly said
that of all the animals that contribute
to the support of mankind none re-
wards us so promptly and so literally
for kindness and food and care as
homely COW.
