1t was all agreeable surprise to
the writer to see the manner in
which the commercial club member
ship came out unanimously in favor
Of suitable quarters for meetings,
ETC., even though some added ex-
pense would be entailed. In pre-.
pairing the bylaws for the meeting,
we rather believed that such move
would meet with opposition and
counselled going slow OIL the ex-
pense proposition. 1t didn't take
long to see. however, that we would
have to have the things we need
even if it did cost a little something.

Burleigh county has set of coun-
ty commissioners that is pretty
well up-to-date on the needs of the
county. They have just appropri-
ated $4,000 to be expended in con-
structing main highway from Bis
marck east to the cnunty line. Such
action is just what is needed in this
county. Asystem of main roads in
connecting the. towns of the county
should be perfected by the commits
sioners.

At the commercial club meeting
PIONEER PAPER OF THE COUNTY

AT the commercial club meeting
last Friday night q movement was
started that will prove to be one OF
the best things that the people Of
this town have done in long time,
and, if it goes through. the CONNER
cial club will have accomplished one
big move in the right direction. A
petition for special election to
vote upon the question of incor-
porating this town as city is the
action we refer to. On Tuesday
March the twenty-fourth, the voters
of this town will be called upon to
decide the question-and it appears
to be dead certainty that the mea-
sure will carry.
Linton has been incorporated for
some years as a village. No doubt,
the purposes for which the village
was organized have been attained to
greater or less degree. But it is
just as certain that conditions have
materially changed and that village
rule in this town is dead letter. In
the first place, the powers of vii.
lage government are considerably
circumscribed by law. There are
many things which appear to be i'm
possible for a village to do. Our
alleged "fire-limits" is a clear ex-
ample. The general law of this
state governing cities does give.
however, the right to establish and
enforce fire.Imits. There is net a
voter in this town who does not be-
lieve that fire-limit should be es
tablished; that is. reasonable fire.
limit.
Under the village government the
maximum penalty for violation of
village ordinances is $40; under city
government, 500 or three months
imprisonment. 1t is pretty sure
thing that such penalty would
bring about the enforcement of the
ity ordinances. AS conditions are
today, there are undoubtedly some
village ordinances that could be en-.
forced. Nobody seems able to de
termine, however, just what one!
they are. And, should they sue
coed in enforcing same, the maxi
mum penalty is only $40, and a ha
bitual ordiance-breaker would mo-
hesitate to take chance" on thu
ten-spot. Such aw-breaker would
think twice, however, before rub
bling against either the $500 penalt,
or the three months in Jail. Thi
argument alone is sufficient to carr,
for city corporation.
Another thing which is no small
item in favor of city government il
the advertising feature. 1t looks
much better on paper to write cit,
of Linton" rather than to dub i
Village of Linton" and legal ant
other matters brig such phrases in
to considerable prominence wher,
the town in question is a county
seat.
The only thing which the voters O
the town must determine is whethe
or not there is possibility Of ex
horbitant taxation under city gov
eminent which could not be tn
case under that of village. Fo
the benefit of such persons the wri
ter will state that he has spent tn
better part Of a couple of days il
going over the law in the matte
and there is practically no chanc
for added expense that is not pos
sible under village government.

EDUCATION is The SOLUTION
BY E. c. pERlSHO, President State
College.

College,
The big problem in South Dakota,
and it is equally true elsewhere is
to do sometime, aud do it nov,
which will guarantee that our young
men will stay on the farm. This is
an age Of progress and scientific de
veiopment Boys. llho men, are am.
bilious. They want to De where more
important events are being accom-
plished. They must be a factor i'll
doing big things. Many young man
feels that TO do this he mast leave the
farm, which to him is place OF
dudgcry and certainly not the posi-
tion Of exceptional opportunity
The tact is farm worI. should not
be drudgery. and farm life is the best
Of opportunities. The boy on the
farm should understand how big the
field OF agriculture really IS Let
him know that as he cultivates the
corn he is helping to produce in this
country a yearly crop which would
sell for enough money TO pay the cost
of digging four Panama canals. Show
him that he is one OF the producers
III the United states who is yearly
increasing the wealth of the nauon
by almost $l0.00000O GOO Give him the
knowledge OF the importance of his
work. and show him the need OF do
ing it as it should be done, and YOU
viii put new thrill Of inspiration in-
to his life, which Will make him not
only pleased, but satisfied with his
farm life
The farmer boy, as wen as his
father, must be shown by actual
demonstration, not simply told:
l. That it is both easy and profit
able TO test seed corn.
>. That We'll bred seed of all kinds
is cheap, even at high price.
3. That it pays to grow ear.pro.
ducing stalks in every hill
4 That it is just as expensive TO
keep a poor colt as a good one
). That a scrub pie eats as much
as finely bred one.
6. That the growth Of lhe hoe or
steer will be greatly increased, at
less cost. if YOU feed them alfalfa and
clover instead of SO much corn and
bran.
:. That it requires as much time
and effort to keep a &12 per cent but
ter fat COW as it does ~ per cent
one. One is loss the other great
profit 10 the farmer
s. That more COWS and silos more
ho-s, corn and alfalfa, and less
wheat, barley and timothy. is the bet.
ter farm policy.
O. That scientific feeding is a vital
part o. scientific farming Some peo-
ple have now learned that the quan.
tit, and quality of the milk depends
upon the quantity and quality OF the
food eaten by the COW.
