We believe in being optimistic ever
to a fault, but we can hardly keep
from smiling at the crop reports that
are being given out in many papers
relative to the crops of North Dakota
For instance, reports are being sent
out that wheat will average 20 bush.
els to the acre in Ramsey county.
Such a thing has never been known
in the history of this county, and we
predict that his county has had much
heavier crops of wheat than we have
this year. True, there is a very good
crop in this county on the average,
but we feel safe in saying that there
are more acres Of wheat in this coun.
W that will go under Is bushels tc
the acre than there are acres tina Will
yield owe that amount, and we pre-
sumo that such is the condition il
practically every county in the state
We have no doubt but that we will
learn Of some thirty bushel fields, but
when one talks about an average Of
20 bushels they are wild On thei,
estimates.

AFTER H PRIMARY,

A great many of the newspapers IN
North Dakota since the close of the
primary election have come out flat
against the primary on the ground
that it bars a poor man from office
and pauperizes a man of moderate
means who has the temerity to run,
and second, that we do not get on the
whole as good material for candidates
as under the old convention plan.
Some Iof the papers representing
the so-called progressive faction, are
the strongest in favor of either the
adjustment of the primary or of a
complete revision Of the present law.
Many progressives who were candi.
dates for the state Offices and who
were not on the select slate as ar.
ranged by the executive committee
over that the primary election doeE
not accomplish what it set about te
do, namely, to rid the state of the
boss rule. It Is admitted that per

In years past but little attention
has been given to the proper method
Of building roads, but farmers and
business men alike are awaking to the
fact that better roads make better
towns, and also easier for the farmer
to market his crops, and consequently
much agitation is now going on rela-
tive to this matter. The association
road oXerzeefl and supervisors
which was recently organized in this
county we believe will be of great
value in the future to study the
means and methods of better roads,
and we hope to see this organization
receive the proper encouragement to
make it grow and prosper. Right
along this line we believe that our
next legislature should amend our laws
and make the matter of road tax a
cash proposition and then let the road
work out by contract. If we want
good roads we must get on the con.
tract system and the sooner the bet
ter. While in Some localities good
road work is done, there are places in
Ramsey county and other counties
where the roads are spoiled instead
Of being made better by the men whc
work out their road taxes.

THE PORT Of
MISSING Mel" ::

Arnold DAILY one o. the foremost
stars Of the modern stage famed as
an exponent of the "intellectual''
drama makes his first appearance in
motion pictures in "The Port of Miss
ing Men" which Manager Archie
Miller of the Grand has secured and
will present Saturday evening, July
25. The picture is taken from that
popular foreign intrigue and romantic
adventure by the famous novelist Mer
edith Nicholson.
Those who remember his polished
and recise portrayal Of Napoleon in
Bernard Shaw's "Man of Destiny''
will quickly recognize his special TT
ness for the role Of John Armitage,
the clever and daring subject Of a my
thical kingdom, who comes to the
United States and becomes imbued
with the spirit Of American Democra-
cy, and who later outwits the spies
of his country's enemies, does great
service for the Empire, and yet re.
mains loyal to his adopted country,
America, also showing himself no un.
skilled adept at the art Of lovemaking
At no time does this tense drama
of love and conspiracy lose its firm
grasp on the interest Of the beholder.
From the moment John Armitake who
is no other than Frederick Augustus
Won stroebel, son of the prime min.
lister of his native Empire comes te
America with Frederick, the heir tc
the throne, he Is kept busy falling il
love and foiling the schemes and ma
chinaxions of the spurious claimant o.
the crown. John Armitage diverts
toward himself the murderous aims o,
the conspirators directed against
Frederick while meantime he secrets
the rightful heir until the time whe1
he can present his claims to tn,
throne. During the course Of the &C
tion John Armitage risks love, fail
name, liberty and life itself. But hi
labors are not in vain, and in the EN-
he sets Frederick upon the throne, %
coming once more an American gentl
man of private life, and triumphant,
claiming his American sweetheart
whom he prefers to the foreign title.

A farmer remarked to US the other
day that one could read all kinds of
scientific articles telling the farmers
how to raise bigger crops, but no one
said a word about how to git better
prices for their grain. That seems to
be just the trouble. We may raise
big crops, but the minute that hap.
pens the prices 60 down and the buy
ers cry overproduction. It woull be
much better If farmers would raise
less acres Of grain, but mor bushels

Sixty-three cents out of every dolla,
paid the government for income tax
goes to pay pensions and for warfare
leaving only 81 cents to pay for the
other vast and useful expenses of the
government. When we stop to think
of the vast amount Of money spent in
warfare or as a result of warfare it
is almost appalling. It is about time
that every civilized country awoke to
the fact that we are spending too
much money for a useless cause, and
that some othl remedy than wal
be substituted in cases Of information

IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is Sign You Have Been
Eating Too Much Meat.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region it
generally means you have been eating
too much meat, says a well-known au-
thority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks tie kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they
become sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels Of
ten get sore, water scalds and you
are obliged to seek relief two or three
tunes curing the nlgAt.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in glass of wa
ter before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer ir-
ritates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, can
not injure and makes a delightful, eff
fervescent Whitewater drink.
