FORMER VALLEY CITY
PEOPLE Have VERY
PECULIAR EXPERIENCE

Under Mandan date of March 2S
appears the following concerning one
of Valley City's early citizens, DR..
Henry w. Coe, the owner of the first
newspaper published in Valley City
The Northern Pacific Times-now
The Times-Record:
''Dr. and Mrs. H. w. Coe, recently
divorced and were former residents
of this place, recently figured in a pc.
culiar situation in Washington. They
have been residents of Portland, Ore.
many years. In addition to his nu.
merous other enterprises the doctor
conducted a sanitarium and cared for
the Alaska insane at so much per
month. He went to Washington to
bid on the contract again and won.
One Of his competitive bidders was
his former wife, who was divorced a
few months ago. Her bid was in her
own name instead of that of a sani-
tarium and was not considered for
that reason. During their stay each
had suite of rooms at the same ho-
tel. Mrs. zoe became i'll and sent 1or
her former husband to prescribe for
her. He looked after her till she re-
covered, escorted her to the depot,
purchased a t1v:set for her to Port
land, placed her on the train and re-
manned over seyeral days to close his

carried the hymn with their soprano

BEWARE OF ANY SINGLE CROP.
(Ruston Leader.)

Speak to some men about diversifi-
cation of crops, and they will say: 1--WE
tried cantaloupes and sometimes the
price we got hardly paid for the GRAFT
ing and freight; then we tried onions
and that didn't pay and then we tried
peanuts; they paid awhile, but there is
little profit in present prices and hard
to sell at that" So is cotton still
harder to sell.
But that is not diversifying at all;
1t is a one crop business, as much as
one crop cotton. Diversifcation of
crops is the planting of numbers of
kinds Of farm products-oats, corn,
cotton, grasses, peas, potatoes-both
kinds-peanuts, cane, pumpkins, cab
bage, collards, turnips and all kinds
of fruits and berries. Then diversity
these with stock and poultry raising,
which is very profitable. Breed horses,
mules, COWS, hogs, sheep, goats, geese,
turkeys, ducks or chickens.
We do not know a man who thus
diversifies agricultural industry that
is not prosperous farmer, neither do
you. There is always enough waste
on an ordinary farm to half feed a
pretty good bunch of hogs, which are
the most prolific of all farm animals,
and the meat is always saleable-a
good market for it all the time-and
so there is for beef, mutton and fowls.
Of course, all these require careful
attention and protection from disease
to make the business profitable; so
does any other business require close
attention to succeed.

DEcEIVING NEWCOMERS.

Deal honestly with the land pur-
chasers, and especially newcomers
who are seeking homes. Don't sell
them land upon which it is impossible
to raise any kind of crop. We have
thousands upon thousands of acres of
good land, capable of profitable cult
walton. When a prospective settler
comes along tell him of this kind or
don't sell him any. 1t is best to lose a
dozen prospective purchasers than to
have disappointed and dissatisfied
citizen, for the latter can do more
harm to the community than a dozen
years time can counterfeit. And it
isn't any use to say some of our set
lers have not been misled by sharp
scheming agents, who located them in
meadows upon which fieldlark could
not sustain itself for a week in year.
A satisfied ned desirable settler is the
best investment that a community can
have, and with our abundance of good
land we ought not ever to have. any
other kind.-Coast Beacon.

THE sNAPPY WAY TO CREDIT.
(The Country Gentleman.l

Here's my statement. should like
to borrow one thousand dollars!" This
is one way to approach banker for a
loan, and way that generally wins
Nine times out of ten hesitation is
fatal. Thousands of solvent farmers
are turned down because they are diff
fident and bashful when they make
advances for loan. This is as true
in the small towns as in the cities.
Looking at it from one viewpoint it
would seem arbitrarily unjust for a
banker to deny solvent mans appeal
for credit simply on the ground of
hesitancy and awkward fumbling at
preliminaries But listen to the philo-
sophy of veteran country financier
who has long made it more or less Of
a rule, to deny the bashful and diffident
and to accede to the snappy requests
of the more self-confident:
"In lending money it is just as i'm
portant to guage mans disposition to
pay as his ability to pay. The man who
will beat round the bush in negotiat-
ing loan will take the longest way
round in paying up. The man who
comes into my bank and discusses the
weather, his neighbours twins and the
blighted romance of his hired girl by
way of working up his courage to re-
quest loan is the man who is likely
to bother my life out with extensions
and renewals. 1t hurts that kind of
man to borrow and it is going to hurt
him twice as much to pay. He is
going to dawdle with you at both ends
of the transaction
81 would rather lend money to an
insolvent man who was getting on his
feet and had a direct, crisp way of ap-
preaching matter of business than
to a solvent man who suffered from an
impeachment in his disposition that
caused him to go the longest way
round to a given point. Of course
there are exceptions to this as to all
other rules, but the guiding principle
is there, and all would-be borrowers
should bear it in mind when they 60

FELICIANA SAUSAGE: AN
OPPORTUNITY.

A st. Martinsville man is selling all
of his country sausage, by parcel post,
at FIVE pounds for a dollar. AS the
sausage-makers of West Feliciana,
that sell in Bayou Sara and st. Fran
cisville get that price for all that they
offer, the parcel post scheme will not
especially appeal to them, unless they
take into consideration-as they should
the cost and bother of peddling this
palatable meat. However there must
be many more in the parish, to whom
local patronage has been inaccessible,
who could take advantage of the parcel
post to sell sausage at a good price.
There is no better sausage made in
the world than right here in the Fe-
licianas. Some of the recipes handed
down from mother to daughter would
make Lucullus envious, and produce
sausage that far surpasses the famed
Jones Dairy sausage sold only by the
groceries catering to the richest
patrons throughout the United States.
This is a fact With no desire to
"splurdge" but with intent to compare
the relative merits of the two kinds OF
sausage, we bought some recently at
Baton Rouge and brought it home for
the family table. AS soon as it was
tasted, the Irrepressible exclaimed:
"Why this is not near as good as the
W sausage homemade brand.
And the Jones sausage was not so
good. The meat had weak, sickish
taste as compared with the home
product. And yet the latter sells for
20 cents, the former for IS cents!
Opportunity has been knocking at
home-raisers' doors these many years,
but with the parcel post service added,
it is fairly trying to break the doors
down. One little lady of West Fe-
liciana however, newcomer it must
be said to our shame-has opened her
door to this opportunity. She sells all
of her sausage by parcel post to
wealthy customers in New Orleans at
FORTY CENTS A POUND. 81 told
them" said she, naively, chat the
Jones sausage sells for IS cents
pound, and as mine was so much
better, l must have forty cents" And
she gets it.

"MovE ON" POLICY WRONG.

"Hoboes should be urged to move
on" says Louisiana newspaper, that
should know better. We frequently
take occasion to point out the evils OF
the move on" theory. Easy-going
communities, wanting to be rid of a
nuisance, either home-bred or OF the
hobo variety, give the offender notice
to leave; apparently caring little for
the trouble thus foisted upon some
other community, innocent and I'M
suspecting. This criminal folly began
when Hagar became persona non grata
in the tents of Abraham, and she and
her innocent child were cast out into
the desert. Since then, all peoples
have acted upon the theory that ban
ishment answers such problems and
all similar ones. Is it not time that
communities should become more hui
name, more intelligent? Should they
not learn that "the move-on" custom
is not fulfilling the law Of civilization
either to the one moved, or the people
moved upon?
For instance, the hobo should be
looked after, where he first appears
by means Of the operation of laws
founded on the old, old law of life,
that if man will not work, neither
shall he eat. To look after the hobo
thus will save many another town
trouble, and possibly save the wan.
derer himself.

EASY MARKS.

A number of newspapers fell for the
press notice sent out by the Louisiana
Conservation Commission, advertising
a st. Louis fur firm. The Commission,
we feel sure, inadvertently fell into
the free-advertising trap, and certain
of the Louisiana press followed like
so many sheep. The question is often
put before the press whether publicity
shall be given different matters, which
incidentally mean pecuniary advantage
question should be decided whether
the public good sufficiently transcends
the private gain to warrant the free
advertisement. Frequently this is the
case, and no true newspaper hesitates
to give the publicity. The Commission
evidently fell into the error of suppos-
ing that the greater good would accrue
to the fur trappers, as their market
had been cut off for some time. But
almost at the same moment, the New
Orleans market opened, but the adver-
Using for st. Louis went merrily on
thanks to the sheep-like proclivities of
thoughtless newspapers. Such Incl
dents warrant the prevailing impress
sion that any copy, already prepared
for the country editor, will be duly
gobbled up by him.

ELECTION EXPENSES TOO HEAVY

Uake Charles American Press.)
The present election laws put the
state and parishes of Louisiana to an
enormous election expense. For each
election, practically two must be held
one to decide who the democratic
candidate shall be, and another to
show how many votes they can get
when they have no opposition. The
rise OF the progressives in the Third
District will add another election to
the total. This will mean in those
devoted parishes two general elections
and four general primaries, not to
speak of municipal elections, bond
elections, school elections and second
primaries, during the year 1916.
Conceivably the time may come
when the parishes can save money by
hiring their election commissioners
and clerks by the year instead of by
the job. We might appeal to the legis-
lature to find some way of alternating
the expense if it were not for the
tendency of that honored but cratic
body to make things they propose to
remedy even worse than they were in
their original state.
