The bonding law which was to have
gone into effect Jan. l, was declared
unconstitutional by the supreme court.
Under the law, bonding department
would have been created by the state
to furnish bonds to the state, county
and municipal officers. Some of the
North Dakota attorneys are of the
opinion that the state hail insurance
law is unconstitutional on the same
grounds.
The state hail insurance law has
been somewhat disappointing to its
advocates because Of the lack of in
terest shown in the measure. The
first two years the state was unable to
pay very large percentage Of its
losses. This was somewhat remedied
last year by a radical increase in the
rates, which paid about 80 per cent of
the losses this year.
The great difficulty appears due to

MAN TRAVELS
ON PROFITS FROM 8 PIGS.
Increase in Three Years Yields Re-
turn of 1925, Not Including the
ORIGINALS.

Spokane, Wash, Jan. Out of the
profits realized from three pigs, pur-
chased year ago for $50 each, j. K.
Smawley, a farmer, living 80 miles
south Of Spokane, has started on a
trip around the United States.
Smawley has $525 for the trip, and
in addition has the three pigs which
started his herd. At the Lewiston
(Idaho) live stock show little more
than year ago he purchased the or
iginal trio of Berkshire hogs for $50
each. With delegation of their Off
spring he returned to the live stock
show this year and his young pigs won
six blue ribbons.
There was a lively demand for
Smawleys strain, and he sold Is for
$35 each, total of $525. With this
amount, which he characterizes as
"velvet" because hog raising with
him is side issue to wheat farming,
Smawley has started his journey,
which will include stops at New York,
Washington, Baltimore, and points in
the Carolinas, where he formerly liv-
ed, and in other southern states. He
will return thru Texas, California and
Oregon.

i 1t is encouraging to the masses to
consider two important events that
have transpired within the last few
days-the surrender of the American
Telephone and Telegraph company
and the withdrawal of the j. P. Nor

ing the end of the interlocking direc-
torates. The good work was started
by Roosevelt, LaFollette and other
progressive men, who blazed the trail,
but it remained for President Wilson
to show them the way. The new cur
rency bill is accepted and it is encour-
aging to know that those bankers who
to months ago were railing against it,,
are getting into the associations and
helping form the regional banks. A
brighter day for us common people
seems to be dawning.

appointed as we lived our speeding

nointed with mourning legion's

when is closed the coffin lid, and the
world will only cherish and remember
what we did. Nothing granite, mon

epitaphs are incidental, and will not
embalm your name. --othing counts

We'll sleep to work no more.

the fact that no provision is made for
solicitors for the state hail insurance
department and the farmers require
solicitation before they will insure.
Whatever acreage is insured in the
state department has been largely a
voluntary matter. AS result Of the
advance in charges per acre, the total
acreage insured during the third year
was much less than the preceding sea-
son. Even if the validity of the law
lis never attacked, the most ardent adj
vocates of the state hail insurance
law see very little encouragement for
it's future, in its present form.

the old fashioned cheese knife, where
he might whack off dimes worth of
cheese, which the good-natured groc-

They taste fresher, cost more, but are
worth it and the people gladly pay the

AN EPOCH.

It is quite generally conceded that
North Dakota i. on the verge of a
boom, and that there are soon to be
great awakenings in the East as to the
value of real estate. A tide of immi-
grafton is soon to strike this state
and there will be an advance along
all lines of business. The following
from the Fessenden Free Press, is but
one of the many evidences of this con-
dition:
..We believe the campaign for get
ting settlers for 500 Line territory in
this state, which was recently an
nounced by that company and which is
going to be pushed with vigor, is the
beginning of an epoch in North Dako-
ia.
"While the great railways. and the
government itself, of Canada, have
been "booming' that western country
for years-until they are now selling
land in that "sure frost country" high
er than the same character of land
may be purchased in North Dakota's
sunny cline; while the big CONNER
ciaI organizations Of the Pacific coast
and inter-mountain states have been
getting settlers from all corners of
the globe by their live publicity meth
DDS, and while the agents of both
Canada and the western states have
been persuading middle-west farmers
to trek their way, North Dakota, the
equal of any land and the peer of
most agricultural sections, has, like a
bashful maiden, been passed up for
more boastful but less worthy states
and provinces
That settlers are needed here, and
needed badly, is evident from even
such facts as can be cleaned from the
last census Wells county, not only
actually, but recognized as, one of the
very best counties in the state, barely
kept her natural increase in popula
ton from 1900 to 1910. Major Muir
ply gave an Illuminating fact in this
connection when he stated, from good
authority that most Of the counties of
central, western and northern North
Dakota had less acres in crop the past
two years than four years ago, and
that one northwestern county had 500
less actual farmers. What does this
mean? 1t means for one thing, that
if this retrogression is allowed to con-
tinue every acre of land will be worth
less money in fe" years than it is
now. Population intelligent and
working populations absolutely es-
sential to prosperity in an agricultur-
al country, and the owners of any
land along the 500 railway, or in the
county for that matter, who does not
see the opportunity of materially as
sisting himself by cooperating with
this great immigration movement is
Sshort-sighted, indeed"

Wisconsin's Eugenic law is being at
tackled. A young man who desires to

man with no corresponding assurance
to him of the absence of disease in the
woman. In North Dakota both sexes

has only fairly been started. The

great success.
