A SCHEME.

Renville county has found a prac,
teal scheme to get settlers. Accord.
ing to a news dispatch from Tolley
published elsewhere in this issue, five
families were secured for that county
through the expenditure Of $50 tt
send a man to Iowa and through per.
sonal contact to induce Iowans tc
come to this state and make theiI
homes.
The item states that these five fam
lilies "have prospered and are salts
fed"
North Dakota is a land of practical
plans. It's better farming movement
has proved to be the best practical
plan Of getting better farming meth
DDS to the farm, and has been copied
all over the country.
This plan that has been evolved in
Renville county is also worthy Of en-
u~lation. North Dakota needs more &C
tual farmers filling the soil and less
speculation in it's real estate business.
1t has been proved hat the pest meth
DDS in all commercial lines, is the
method of personal canvass-for ex-
ample, not the prevalence Of CONNER
cial travellers.
The Forum is OF the opinion that
other counties n even the state
might learn a valuable lesson from
Renville.

ONE HALF BOTTLE OF The
GREAT KIDNEY REMEDY
ACCONPLISHES RESULTS

When I sent for a sample bottle Of
Swamp-Root, L was in great distress
day and night. Before 1 received sam
pie by mail, l went to our best doctor
(and he is second to nom in this
vicinity and told him how 1 felt. He
put me up a bottle of medicine. L was
about a week taking the medicine, but
was no better than when I began. l
then began your sample bottle, and be-
fore / got through with it, I felt a
change. The scalding sensation did
not bother only a few times in the
middle of the day. I would not have
believed such a small quantity would
nave done so much, but before. it was
gone I learned hat our druggist kept
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root and so got a
large bottle for o~ne-dollar but actually
worth one hundred dollars I only
took one large tablespoonful three
times a day and before I had taken
one-half bottle I was all right and
have been since. Gratefully yours,

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Fraudulent Thought Products.

New York Tribune: Some of the
statesmen who break into h "leave-
to-prlnt" section Of "The Congression-
al Record" Are complaining because
their speeches are not properly adj
vertised. They want the editor Of
THE Record" to publish on the first
page an index showing where such and
such a gem of undelivered e]loquence
may be found. But why should the
government give {. further certifica-
tion to fraudulent thought products by
thus indexing them? "Leaves-to-
print" belong in the storage ware
house, and congress shows a faint
sense of the proprieties in burying
them in the back sections Of The
Record" 1t would be simple honesty
to Suppress these false transcripts of
debate. But If congress cannot bring
itself to do that, the next best thing
would be to issue eac session a spe-
cial volume of these near speeches"
Then nobody would be misled into
reading them even by lure of a scare
head index.

A BRITISH FORECAST.

The London "Spectator,' which takes
a generally friendly view of Ameri-
can affairs. Is getting impatient with
President Wilson's course in dealing
with Mexico. 1t says that while he has
declared his determination not to
Intervene, "yet all this time American
intervention of the most serious kind
is taking place" 1t thinks hat while
pursuing a policy which constitutes
"a far-reaching system of inter-
ference" America has unfortunately
not yet shown a willingness to carry
out the tremendous task which she
has in effect taken up, or which
circumstances have imposed upon
her." One result of this, it avs has
been greatly to increase the evils
of the situation" The president Gin
teryened and pretends not to be inter-
vening. He deprecates anarchy and
bloodshed and neither stops them nor
allows anybody else to stop them"
The "~Spectator's' idea is that the
United States should simply grasp
the nettle, stop anarchy in Mexico and
administer the affairs of that repub-
lie" Americans, it says could not with
due regard to their own safety and
development permit any European ma
ton to take such action; but. this he
ing admitted, "a very great RESPONSE
bility rests on the United States" The
London paper admits that he policy
1t advocates would mean conquest.
That would be succeeded by q demand
for Independence and rebellion. and
this would be followed by annexation
of the northern states and the process
would go on until within fifty years
one nation of 200, 600, 900 English
speaking people will extend from the
Canadian border to the Panama canal.
with the exception of British Hon
duras."
This is a characteristic British view;
and the process Of intervention to stop
anarchy, Of rebellion and annexation,
and all the rest of it. would be quite
in accord with historic precedent; but
that is not the American vision says
The, Journal OF Commerce. The peo-
pie of the United States have no desire
to conquer Mexico and annex its ter
ritory. They wish to see it maintain
its independence and develop a capa-
city for self-government which viii
make OF their republic a desirable and
prosperous neighbor. That is the idea
cherished by President Wilson.
1T is a question whether the course
5ie has pursued is calculated to pro.
mote its realization, for the process
lis one which cannot be hurried. There
ID d possibility that his course may
tend toward making forcible inter
ventfon necessary with results which

hand, 1t Is possible that the conflict
which amicable intervention will be-
come practicable. IL not actually in
.vited, to "pacify'' the country, with a
considerable forward step toward real
self government. It is easier to judge
from afar than near at hand. but
Judgment is also more likely to go
astray. 1t is not yet time for a final
verdict on the question OF one kind
Of intervention or the other. That
for conquest and annexation is not
likely to come under this administra-
ton. and it is to be hoped that it will
never come. The American idea of
progress is not in that direction.

WEDNESDAY,, JAN. 7, 1914.
THE REGIONAL BANK.

The Duluth Herald argues that til
interests Of the northwest would b
better served under the new bankin
law by attaching it to a strong dis
trict with a regional bank at Chicago
rather than to a relatively weak dis
trict with a regional bank at Min
~neapolis."
The Herald says in part:
The issue before the northwest,
is simply tkis: Does it wish to
get the full benfits of the new
banking law by becoming a part
OF a strong regional bank at Chi
cago with ample resources and
credits, or does 1T wish to sacri-
flee the greater part of these bene-
fits by becoming a part Of n rell-
lively weak regional bank at
Minneapolis?
OF what would a reserve district
consist with Minneapolis as its
center? A glance at the map is
enough to satisfy anyone hat
neither Wisconsin nor Iowa would
be a part of that district, and
that both would naturally be joint
ed to the Chicago district. as both
would insist on being. This is
particularly emphasized by the
extreme probability that both
Ohio and Indiana will go to a
district with Cincinnati as it's
center, leaving east of Chicago
only Michigan to be assigned to
the Chicago district.
What, then, is there left for a
Minneapolis district? Minnesota.
Of course, and the Dakotas and
Montana - nncrihI1, Nob.o.I,a
Wyoming. There is certainty only
Of Minnesota, the Dakotas and
Montana.
Now such a district, though
potentially rich and in time likely
10 become actually rich enough to
form a strong district, would be-
for a long time to come one Of the
weakest districts in the country,
If not the weakest: and it would,
therefore, have one of the weak
est regional banks.
This view is not shared by TIL,
Forum nor by Fargo bankers. In tn,
first place The Herald is arguing from
a false premise. The regional dis
tricts will not be limited by stat,
boundary lines. The committee tha
will fix the boundaries could spill
Iowa in the middleton any pther place
could add part of Wisconsin and par
of Nebraska, and could make a stronI
district centering about Minneapolis.
Minneapolis banking circles ar
closer to the people of this section
not alone in distance but in interest:
The Minneapolis banks know the con
ditions and needs of North Dakota
much better than Chicagoans, and
seems to be the concensus of Farg
bankers and business men, thai Min
neapolis could serve this section
great deal better than Chicago.

Loan Shark ToInan's Offer.

Brooklyn Eagle: The offer made
on behalf of D. H. TOlman, convicted
loan shark, to burn $40O, 600 worth of
notes Of his debtors, sacrificing prin-
cipal and interest, If he can be saved
from serving a six months term in
prison, is, we believe, without prece-
dent. Governor Glynn is said to be
considering it. but we can hardly be-
lieve that the buying of a pardon in
his way is a safe precedent to let any
criminal set. We imagine the govern
ment will make no such error, pitiful
as he may feel toward Tolman's thous-
ands Of victims.
Confronted by a prison sentence,
the loan shark, who has deied law
for a series of years, willis. But. as
no court would assist the collection Of
these usurious notes, his proposed
sacrifice is more nominal than real.
AS in the past, he is juggling with
law. 1t is much better for the ends of
the community that he should serve
his term.

DURUM WHEAT IS
GETTING A HOLD
.' .
Farmers of Edgeley District
Find that Breed is
Making Good.

Edgeley, ND, Aug. 18.-The Edge
ley sub-station is proving to be agri-
cultural headquarters for the farmers
Of 'LaMoure and the surrounding
and the federal government are CO.
operating in the Investigations, which
include variety trials, rotation of
crops, methods Of soil culture, forgae
crops. grasses, tree and fruit grow
ing.
These experimental plots and
grounds are demonstrating the re-
suits that can be secured from the
different systems OF cropping and soil
culture. They are better than an OPP
EN- book, as they give. the results in
terms Of the actual crops.
The wheat. oats and barley have
just been cut, and the yields promise
to be good. The Durums will out
yield the other wheats very much
this year. The rust .has effected them
much less. The yields will be consid-
erably higher than on the farms in
the surrounding territory.
The average yiled of four durum
wheats for ten years has been nearly
81 bushels. while the. three best Flies
for the same ten years averaged 14h
and the three best blue stems, 1914
bushels.
The heaviest work at Edgeley has
been on the durum wheats. The re-
suit hat been that a large proportion
Of the grain grown in this part Of the
state is the durum, and the very best
varieties, as the investigations at the
sub-station have made it possible to
send out only the best yielders.
One Of the most outstanding things
was n improved appearance of the
crops where rotations are practiced.
This was true Of the grains, grasses
and corn. The weeds were also much
reduced where the crops were rotat-
ed. In the fertilizer experiments the
stable n gave marked results,
while no appreciable effect could be
noted where the commercial fertiliz-
ers were added. Suhsoiling and dy-
namiting have not increased yields.
Corn is making a good growth;
much of 1t is in the roasting ear
stage. Alfalfa and clover have been
cut twice. good cuttings each time.
Apples, plums, cherries, currants and
sooseberries are bearing a good crop
of fruit. These are making good
growth. The grounds are planted
with a variety Of trees and shrubs
all makes a fine demonstration of
what a be done with fruits, trees
and shrubs in this part of the state,
and the best varieties to use.
The substation and it's grounds have
given q new idea Of the possibilities
of this section for farming and house
making.
Many farmers visit the station and
Mr.. Thompson spends considerable
time among the farmers. In this way
the influence of the substation is ex-
tended to the surrounding country.
Many calls for information come oy-
err the telephone.
