The population Of North Dakota,
which increased 80. 80 per cent from
1900 to 1910 is given as being ST.
O56 and would therefore supply only
y fraction of about one-eighth of the
rast armies of men that have been
modified by the European powers
since the war was declared less than
a month ago. The four millions of
men in battle array on the frontiers
between Russia and Germany and
Germany and France represents an
army of men which already exceeds
the combined population of the four
northwestern states of the Dakotas,
Minnesota and Montana. We read
glibly of a million men on the march
but few stop and think or realize
that in a battle front four deep they
would form an unbroken battle line
140 miles in length. Modern warfare
has indeed made rapid strides when
nowadays nations fight with armies
of millions as compared with our civil
war fifty years ago, when General
Jherman marched from Atlanta to the
yea with his army of 60, 900 and the
lrmy of the Union had only 80, 900
nen in its forces at the battle of
Gettysburg.

CONGRESSMAN HEIGESON'S REPLY

Pink Paper have received two
copies of the "Pink Paper and OF
course, the first thing that caught my
eye was your editorial headed "Hel-
geson's Mistake" followed by nv
letter in regard to the Hobson Reso-
%lution, and Hon. o. w. Underwood's
reply thereto. You say you are salts
fl ID that | would not Intentionally
misrepresent the facts in the case,
which is perfectly true. have never
knowingly misrepresented an individ-
ual or party, and l do not intend to
begin now, and just as soon as | can
get into communication with some of
those members who are not present.
| will make a full statementgof the
case for publication, which | think
will prove that if | have made any
mistake, it is a technical one, and not
one of fact. l might suggest that
you are not entirely fair in saying in
your issue of August 18th that you
had not yet heard from me in regard
to the article you published on the
9Th, when you knew perfectly we'll
that | had not seen the article refer
red to. You can rest assured that |
will not dodge the issue, and l will
either prove that my statement was
correct as far as results and response
bility for legislation is concerned, or
will cheerfully retract any misstate-
ment, which l do not now believe !
will have to do. Hoping that you will
refrain from any further criticism
until you get my reply, | remain,
Sincerity yours,

Diseases caused the swine breeders
of North Dakota to lose 80, 100 hogs,
valued at 1924, 600 last year, accord
ing to a report which has just been
issued by the department of agri-
culture. This is an average death rate
of rs per 1, 900 head. During 1918
the ratio was 20 per l, 200 head and
a total of 1900 head were lost. The
last census reports, which are dated
January l, 1914, show that there are
42S, 900 head of hogs in North Da-
kota and they are valued at SIS, $50,
900 or $13. 20 per head. The farmers
of the entire nation last year lost
1904, 800 head of hogs from the dis
ease. Their total value was $75,
600, 900 and the death rate 119 pei
l, 200.

1t will take something more spec
tacular than a moving picture show
of his triumphal pilgrimage across
the Atlantic ocean to Norway to put
the required ginger into Governor
Hanna's campaign for reelection this
fall. The governor in order to get a
whip hand owe those within the party
who chafe under his lead as dictator
has undertaken to mix politics into
the administration of the affairs of
state institutions, and both the Uni
versity Of North Dakota at Grand
Forks and the State Agricultural
college at Fargo have as a result been
thrown into a state of faculty dissen-
sion that threatens to undo the great
good these two institutions have been
able to accomplish since the admission
of North Dakota into statehood some
twenty years ago. How do the people
like the idea of a board of regents
being politically manipulated so as to
bring about the removal of such men
as President Worst, Profs. Ladd and
Bolley from the agricultural college at
Fargo; and the law school of the state
university at Grand Forks is being
disrupted by the same political cum
ming and for exactly the same purpose.
Hanna's campaign for reelection
shows how peeved and ~resentful he
feels and he is already beginning to
see the hand writing on the wall.

The war in Europe is given as an
excuse for many advances in price of
food commodities where there has
been no real reason for them. In the
matter of the advance of wheat and
flour in price, that is quite probably
legitimate, but the great upward
bound in the prices of meat, both
fresh and smoked, is largely due to
the trust manipulation by the packers.
The same may also be said of the
advance in the price of sugar and
coffee and yet the standpatters of the
press are continuing to condemn the
agitation favoring proper laws against
trust regulation and speculation. The
people who are footing the bill in this
boost in the prices of food commodi-
ties must continue the agitation and
insist that proper legislation be enact
ed and be assured of the certain exc
cution of the legislation.

Threshing was underway for almost
an entire week when the rain of last
Friday night, amounting to 80 of an
inch, brought operations to a stand
still. Monday several outfits in the
vicinity Of Langdon made another
start, but the straw was tough and
the run cut short by a general shut
down. Steady rain started at about
nine o'clock and continued through the
greater part of the day. The thresh-
ing to date shows both a sample and
yield better thar what the weather
conditions of the month preceding
harvest would lead one to expect,
although the indications naturally are
that the crop is spotted. 1t is esti-
mated around Langdon that ten days
of fine weather will clean up most of
the threshing in this vicinity.
