to give out the expenditures, Com
missioner Patterson states that the
total collections amount to about

to the largest In the history of oys-

From the several reports 1t will be
found that seven years ago. just as
the polluted oyster" scare struck our
people, oyster finances under the old
commission were advancing rapidly,
and reached the 100000 mark. Tho
succeeding year they fell back to ST.

seventy thousands since. During the
past few years there has been every
indication that the Virginia oyster has
struggled from under the ban that SCI

supported by the fact That greater

wheat is raised in three years than
in five years continuous wheat, which
means that by rotating crops and
feeding some of the crop, as the corn,
to the stock, and returning the manure
to the land. that the wheat production
can be actually increased.
Corn has taken it's place in North

this crop is shown in the yield of 106
bushels Of mature corn raised on an

Alfalfa has also proven it's value

OWNING II HOME.

There are few cities in the coun-
try that will compare with Fargo in
the percentage Of homes that are
owned by the people who live in
them. There are some sections of the
city where there are practically no
houses for rental purposes and there
seems to be an epidemic of the home
owning fever this year.
According to the Brooklyn Times
the homecoming habit is spreading
bin the nations metropolis. And COM
Fmenttng on this The Times draws the

nothing to gain, and much to lose. He
readiness Of some of the mediators at
Niagara Falls to put an end to the
conflict by p%eaceable measures was
prompted by the wish to save Huerta
from the ignominy of utter defeat.
1t Is true that a man Of bigger Wis
ion might have sacrificed the oppor-
tunity to win such individual fame as
will come to him in the event the
constltutionalists win their fight
against Mexico City, and have enter
ed into the work Of the mediators in
the hope Of putting an end to hos
tiltties and restoring some sort Of Or
der that might be acceptable to his
followers.
But he had demonstrated pretty
clearly that the constitutionalists
were fully capable of gaining the point
for which they contended-the elimi-
nation Of Huerta. and the establish
ment Of a government truly represen-
tative Of the Mexican people.
The mediators may fail to accom-
pllsh the task to which they have ad-
dressed themselves; but there Is room
Tor optimism in the fact that Carranza
seems more competent than ever be-
fore to push the war to a successful
conclusion In a comparatively short
time and in a way which can leave
no doubt that it is a Mexican victory,
won for the sake Of the future Of
the Mexican republic.

cARRANZA VS.. MEDIATION,

Whatever may have been hoped or
expected as a result Of the meeting Of
the mediators at Niagara Falls, tho
fact seems increasingly plain that the
kMexican problem will be solved south
of the Rio Grande-where, perhaps, it
must be settled IL there Is to be
brought about a condition really fav-
orable to the progress of the Mexican
people.
The attitude Of General Carranza
remains consistent, no matter how
much it may have exasperated those
who have become heartily weary of
the Mexican situation. His o~rganiza-
ton Of a provisional government at
Saltillo, while Villa is pushing his
campaign further into the southern
states of the republic, is the logical
sequence to his refusal to conform to
}Iho plans of the mediators.
That he continues to pursue a
{, course not wholly free from comic
opera pretentiousness may be largely
cue to the circumstances In which he
is placed. and the demands OF the peo-
IrIe who have supported him. In jus
etice to him and his followers, It must
be said that his refusal to submit to
an armistice between his troops and
Huerta's was to have been expected

The work of the county representa-

wife make her plants grow, to rota-
ton for the farm, when on his rounds.
The writer spent a day with one OF
he county representatives of the Bet
ter Farming section Of the North Da-
kota Experiment Station, and jotted
down a few of the happenings. North
Dakota has 25 of these county repre-
sentatives, and something similar nap
pens each day in rs places in the state.
This farmer wants to know where
he can secure some good seed oats.
County Representative: Let me
see, yes, Jones, S miles down the road,
has some good seed oats for sale"
Another farmer wants to know
where he can get a good bull. Coun-
ty Representative: Yes, let me see
your cattle" So they look the cattle
over, and not only does the farmer
learn where he can get a bull, but al
so where he a get just the one that
will mate with his stock to the best
advantage.
Another farmer is going to SOW
some alfalfa. where can l get some
alfalfa seed that is hardy and free
from weeds?" County Representative:
We have purchased a large lot of
this seed from fields 25 years old. 1t is
perfectly hardy and clean. How
many acres are you going to sow"

THURSDAY, JUNE q. 1914.
G. o. p. COMING BACK.

Figures are stubborn things. Take
a bunch Of figures, and you may twist,
and turn and explain all around them
and then, after you have explained
yourself black in the face there are
those miserable figures, still staring at
you.
The assessors of North Dakota have
just been compiling some figures.
They show that the progressive party,
or to put it in a more explicit way,
the Bull Moose party. has practically
vanished from the face Of the North
Dakota political map.
These are hard facts for the en-
thusiastic leaders Of hat party to
face. but they are just that-cold
hard facts. And after all the explain
ing and qualifying that MAJ be done,
there will be those figures that will
not down.
From all corners Of the nation comes
the same story. The Bull Moosers are
slipping back into the republican
ranks, or into the democratic ranks.
Most Of them however, seem to be
going back into the republican lines,
as witness the tremendous vote that
was cast for Cummins, in the Iowa
primaries last week.
The drift is plain and unmistakable.
It is back to the republican party.
The republican party will be the
party Of opposition. And it will be
a vastly different party from the one
that was controlled by Cannon, Pen
rose, Aldrich, Taft ct al. The lesson
has been scared in that the people
will not stand for such leadership. or
for the reactionary principles they adj
vocated.
The party was unfortunate in that
1t got into the control of unscrupul-
Gus leaders. These few leaders domi-
mated at one time and rather than
yield their rule they wrecked the
party. But the rank and file of the
republican party has always been
right at heart and there AVE been
many real progressive leaders in the
party. These men will now come in
to control n the republican partv
is coming back, freed from it's old
stand-pat leaders, purged Of its re-
dictionary ideas, to become once more
the real party of progress, the
grand old party" Of the people.

is now sweeping the country?
The answer seemed clear enough:
A great lawyer. Taft is a great law
yer; therefore he shall be the next
president.
This was a grave mistake on Mr.,
RoOseVeltS part. What the country
needed at that moment was not a grea
lawyer but a great thinker. For law
yers look backward, and thinkers look
forward. The guiding star of Mr..
Roosevelt's administration was action;
Mr.. Roosevelt did not think, he acted,
And Mr.. Taft wasted his administra-
ton.
Wandering between two worlds, one
dead.
The other powerless to be born.
In Mr. Wilson the country has at
last given birth to a thinker. Most
men are half-minded, most congress-
men are half-minded; they believe
that a problem has only one end. But
a thinker knows hat a problem is
like a magnet, equally charged at both
ends.
Where there is a centrifugal force
at work he knows that there is a
centripetal force equally at work. He
knows that new forms of decentraliza-

A THINKER IN THE
WHITE HOUSE.

Ray Stannard Baker in the Ameri-
can Magazine: have just been
spending a week in Washington-the
most interesting place, at the present
time, in America. Not before in years
has the legislative pot boiled and
dubbed as it is now boiling and
bubbling, and never, certainly, was
there a cook who could WELD the big
$adle as efficiently and skilfully as
the present incumbent of the White
House. With what consummate art,
also, has he seasoned the pottage to
the taste of the country! Even those
statesmen who have no relish for it
are swallowing it without a word,
though it makes their eyes water.
What is the secret of Mr.. Wilson's
extraordinary success?
Six years ago, when Mr.. Roosevelt
was about to finish his second cup of
coffee and was considering the choice
of his successor in the presidency. he
was confronted with this problem:
What type of man will best give legal
definition to the moral Impulse which
