GOODMAN STUDIES
MINNESOTA FARMS
Points Out Lessons For
North Dakotans in the
Sister State.

Farmers Of Becker and otter Tail
counties. Minnesota, are demonstrate
ing what skillful farming methods can
do, according to F. L.. Goodman, pres
ident Of the Northwestern Trust COM
pany. who has just returned from a
ten days automobile trip through the
territory in question.
The land in that section of Min
nesota would be regarded as poor in
North Dakota" said Mr.. Goodman to-
day. and yet the farmers manage to
keep at a high level of prosperity"
They do this by the application Of
better farming methods. Every farm
er produces a large quantity of corn,
and with this maintains his hogs and
cattle.
"On many of the farms from 10 to
100 hogs will be found. Others make
a speciality of dairying, an dali are
making good profits. on land that
many North Dakota farmers would re-
gard as poor to spend time or money
upon.
The conditions in that part of the
countr show beyond question what
can be done by the application Of
proper farming methods. Many North
Dakota farmers could lear invaluable
lessons by studying the methods Of
their Minnesota neighbors'.'
Mr.. Goodman was accompanied on
his trip by Mrs Goodman, and his
son, Donald Goodman.

STATE MAY STOP
PRICE BOOSTING
Law of 1907 Covers Situa-

That the state of North Dakota a
the power to prevent the arbitrary
advancement of prices within it's Dor
ders, under pretext of the Increase be-
ing due to the European val, is the
contention of City Attorney ]. b.
Wineman.
The federal government is reported
to be contemplating action along this
line. but Mr.. Wineman maintains that
such action may be taken by the state
Without awaiting the national govern
ment's action in the matter.
h session laws Of North Dakota
for 1907 provide that ANY corpora
ton, partnership, association, or in
d%ividuaI, crearing entering into, or
becoming a member of, or a party to,
any pool, trust, agreement, contract;
confederation, or individual to regu-
late or fix the price of any artical Of
merchandise, commodity, or property
manufactured, mined. produced. or
sold in this state shall be guilty of a
misdeameanor.'
A pool or trust is defined as "a COM
bination of capital, skill, or acts, of
two or more persons" for certain pur-
poses, one of which is ito fix at any
standard or figure whereby it's price to
the public shall be in any manne On
trolled or established. any p ar
ticle or merchandise, product or
manufacture intended for sale, or con-
sumption in this state"
The penalty for the violation of this
act is a fine Of not less than 500 nor
more thar $4,000. ri
This law Mr.. Wineman contends
covers the present situation and if
there is my organized plan among the
merchants or wholesalers of the state
to boost prices they may be prosecut-
ed under it regardless Of the action Of
the federal government in the matter.

Prophet Micah, Nation shall not lift
up sword against nation, nor shall

nearer before the beginning of the

He wildly painted the horrors Of
war, pointing out that if we in the
United States were already beginning
to feel its pinch. the conditions of the
Inhabitants of Europe must indeed
be unfortunate.

Thompson, "when the people are con-
