The price Of our North Dakota land
is back to where it was in the spring
Of 1910, before the series of lean
years struck us. Down thru the mid
die states the farmers are listening
to the call Of Dakota with attentive
ears. A few years ago they were
headed towards Oklahoma, but today
they think only Of the north. They
have watched the success of their
friends who came here without PEN
ny decade ago and who have grown
independently rich during that time,
They have seen samples Of our pro
ducts and now moving pictures are
going to be shown turnout those
states. North Dakota has won many
first class farmers this year and the
immigration next year promises to be
the greatest in our states history.

A disposition is shown ON the part
Of many manufacturers and jobbers
in the United States to take advan-
tage of the present crisis in European
affairs to squeeze the last possible
cent of exhorbitant profit from the
consumer. To charge "all the traffic
will BEAR" seems to be the motto OF
these people, and wholesale prices are
being boosted right and left, quota
lions on many articles have been with
drawn especially for the purpose Of
raising prices. There may be some
sort Of an excuse for raising prices on
imported goods, because the world war
has necessarily, in many instances,
curtailed the Importation of such
goods. But there is no reason why
goods of domestic manufacture should
be raised in price cent, and the man
ufacturer who does SO is nothing
more than robber who takes advan-
tage of the European situation to line
his own pockets at the expense OF his
customers aberdeen News.

The prospects in business way
thruout the states Of the northwest
were never SO bright as they are to-
day. With the crops Of Canada burn
ed out, and failures in many of the
southern and eastern states, and the
greatest war in the worlds history
raging across the Atlantic and on the
other side Of the Pacific, it looks as tho
the world were depending on this sec
ton to feed them. Our crops on the
average are excellent and the prices
unusually high. The price Of new
wheat in Minot Tuesday advanced to
$1.O1 and the end is not yet. Never
have we received better prices for
our corn, potatoes, rye, barley, and
other crops than we are offered today.
Beef, mutton, pork and poultry are
the highest in the memory of the
writer. The farmer has but to sit
tight, and unprecedented prosperity
will be his.

The man who invests his money in
IN automobile soon becomes good
roads enthusiast. He learns from
travelling about the country where the
good work and the poor work are ex-
ecuted on the highways. He finds that
only too often where roads are work
ed by inexperienced men, they are left
in worse condition than before they
were touched. Some effective road
building has been done, but half the
time the work is left in a very incom-
plete condition. Usually the very best
roads lie where the plow and scraper
have never touched them. There is a
reason for our poor roads. The sys-
TEN under which they are worked is
generally wrong. Farmer Jones works
out his road tax. He takes his pillow
and defaces old Mother Earth for a
few rods up and down the highway
and when he has put in sufficient time,
quits. His neighbor follows suit. I'm
less there is very capable road boss
on the job, the work is not finished,
and only too often the boss dislikes to
criticise the work for fear of offend
ing his good neighbors. Contract work
done under the supervision of the
county surveyor or some competent
engineer and according to specifica-
tions would produce good work. There
isn't enough uniformity. A grade may
be sixteen feet wide in one township
and eighteen feet wide across the line.
It is estimated that at least half the
road work done in this country every
year is wasted. There is an excellent
opportunity for some legislator with
the proper nerve and sense to effect
the proper good roads legislation.

In reply to anxious enquirer, we
may say that limburger cheese is
made in Holland, in a district with lots
of cows. The women are very particu-
lar, and take great pains to get the
flavor exactly right. Folks who kick
at limburger should remember it is
not intended to take the place of col
ogne for grand opera. Never eat un-
less going to club or political meet
ing. To destroy odor, take an onion.

The editor has mighty difficult
time satisfying all Of his readers. If
he gives an account of any of the best
yields of grain, he is accused of play

down the prices. If he prints only the
reports of rust, the real estate dealers

ways tried to be fair and print the
truth, as near as possible. We intend
to give an account of the good yields
and will just as freely mention the
failures.

This is a good time to clean the
grass and weeds out Of the groves, to
save destruction by fire. Besides, if
left, insects, the great enemy Of our

You can't believe half of what you
see in the papers about the European

more prisoners. We will learn the
truth after this war is history. We are

With an apple crop of 21O,OOO,0OO
bushels this year in the United States,
let the price of lemons and oranges
soar. We'd rather eat good apple
any day than an orange. Montana
has raised 100000 bushels of the fruit
and South Dakota 100000 bushels, but
no note is made of the North Dakota
crop, which is probably not taken into
account. Still we are in the corn belt
and apples will follow rapidly.

There are a dozen men in America
who could take the material that Is
represented in the training camp OF
the Boston Red Sox and make a
championship team from 1t. The
material is there; material enough TO
give Connie Mack the battle Of his
life for the highest honors OF the
American league.
Logically the Red Sox should be a
clcss second choice in the American
league race. Really they ought not
to be figured seriously at all.
Why? There are two why's. Ian

Thus Far on the Tigers Trip

KNOWS HOW TO TAKE BIG
ADVANTAGE OF FORTUNES
Both in Hitting and In Fielding
He Has Been Pulling Spec

From a stan Correspondent.

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn. April L.
The man WHO is successful In baseball
Is the lucky mantle man for whom
the fortunes Of the game break. Tls
lucky man. Of course. IL the man wno
has the ability and courage to take
advantage OF the breaks. He really
may not be any more fortunate than
the dub who fails. but he has the abik
ity and with 1t the daring to make his
success look like horseshoe.
Cobb had been unusually lucky and
therefore unusually successful thus far
this season, and his teammates are
hoping that his good fortune thus far
is a p0rtent of what II to follow
throughout the year.
Ty has failed In q number OF plays
that would have made q busher look
like dub. He tried to score from
third on fly ball hit to Stanley.
shOrtstop of the Memphis club. Tor
which Stanley merely backed up and
did not have to turn around. Detroit
fans have seen Bush run deep into left
field, catch q fly while facing the
scoreboard In the left OF Navin's
grounds and still hold fast men on
third base.
But Cobb figured that Stanley was
a very wild heave in q pinch. That
is, that is what it is to be supposed
that he figured. He figured (presun-
ably) that Harry might be nervous in
trying to get him and heave the bali
mile. But Cobb figured wrong. IL
he figured that way, and Stanley had
him by a Memphis square.
But later in the game Cobb drop.
ped an outfield fly that landed just
back OF second base when there were
men on first and second and one
down. He figured ct is to be presum-
ed) that the men would hold their
bases until the fly was caught or un.
til 1t had fallen to the ground. Then
he would pick it up and get q double
play. retiring the side. He did this.
He dropped q fly hit by Love, tossed
to Burns at second, forcing Norcott.
who was on first, and then Burns and
Witt ran down McDermott. the former
Tiger, who had remained on second
until too late.
In his hitting Cobb has been lucky
only. He hit long double In one
game at Memphis and loafed on It. It
/, is doubtful whether Cobb could have
made three bags on It at best, but Il
IL not like him to loaf on the bases.
But the pitcher seemed bound that
he should get his, for he wild-pitched
and let Ty 60 to third right away.
Tvs only hit for extra bases IN the
second game at Memphis came at the
only time when there was anybody on
the bases ahead of him to score. Burns
was on first and needed q long double
or triple to score him. Ty came
through.
Even when Ty Is late for q game
and somebody takes his place, his
good fortune stays in the same place
In the batting order. Burns hit the
longest ball he has ever busted az q
Tiger when batting for Cobb, scoring
one man and later counting himself.
Cobb's hitting at jackson against
New Orleans was remarkable. He rot
on the bases only twice there, and
both times on balls hit straight ct the
pitcher and not very fast One went
right through the pitcher and the otn-
er was detected from him to the sec
ond baseman, Starr. who booted the
ball. RI.
