Grafters Are Many.

The following editorial sent
out by the N. D. Development
League is advice that would be
well to follow:
Hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars are lost each year, through
unwise investments, the purchase
of shoddy goods from irresponsi-
BILE peddle1s and donations ito
charities which are unworthy.
The average man has not the
time or the means to investigate
all of these propositions which
are put up to him and as re-
suit very large amount Of
money is absolutely wasted in
every community.
All over the country it is
known today that North Dakota
has harvested excellent crops and
that her people will have money.
As result this state will be
flooded with all kinds of solici-
torsssThe get-risl-quick men will
offer. stocks and wares, solicitors
and peddlers of fal1 kinds will try
to work all districts of the state
and every kind of scheme will
be tried out, which will promise
to "get the money" for the soi-
citor.
In many communities,
commercial organizations and
Farmers Clubs investigate
propositions which are pre-
sented to their members and adj
wise them as to the honesty Of
those who seek their money. Al
most any community has in it
competent men who can look in
to these different solicitor pro-
positions and report upon them:
Before you invest in any kind Of
a proposition presented by transi
ent strangers of whom you know
nothing, either have his PROPOSE
tion investigated by your COM
mercial or Farmers organization
or by your bankers. Thousands
Of dollars will be saved to the
community and state if our peo-
pie will know that their money
is being well spent and that
none Of it goes into the hands OF
grafters.

THIS OLD EARTH
Is WEARING AWAY

u. S. Geological Survey Bull
letin: The Missouri is the mud
diest river in the Mississippi val
ley; it carries more silt than any
other large river in the United
States except possibly the Rio
Grande and the Colorado. For
every square mile Of country
drained it carries down stream
381 tons of dissolved and sus-
pended matter each year. In
other words, the river gathers
annually from the country that it
drains more than $4,000 tons Of
silt and soluble matter, some. of
which it distributes owe" the
flood plains below to form pro-
ductive agricultural lands, but
most Of which finds it's way at
last to the Gulf Of Mexico.
1t is by means of data Of this
kind that geologists compute the
rate at which the lands are be-
ing eroded away. It has been
shown that the Missouri river is
lowering the surface Of the land
drained by it at the rate of one
foot in 6,O36 years. The surface
Of the United States as a whole
is now being worn down at the
rate Of one foot in 9,120 years. It
has been estimated that it this
erosive action Of the streams Of
the United States could have
been concentrated on the 18TH
mus of Panama it would have
dug in seventy-three days the
canal which has just been COM
pleted, after ten years work,
with the. most powerful appli-
ances yet devised by man.

North Dakota Farm
ers are Busy Men
Will be Some Time Before Ac.
curate Estimate of Wheat
Raised is Known.

The greatest threshing season
ever known in the state Of North
Dakota is on at present. Accord
ing to reports more wheat was
planted than ever before and the
yield will be the biggest. A few
have had their grain partially
destroyed by hail or black rust
but these were very few.
Last winter the price Of wheat
went soaring and it was expect
ed that prices would remain gooG
as long as the war continued,
but that was not the case. A
number Of theI farmers expect to
build granaries rather than sell
at present.
Since the rain last week the
weather has been favorable for
threshing and long hours are
being spent in the fields to get
the fall work done.
The best report received so far
is that from twelve acre piece
of wheat on the Wdcklander
farm that went Al bushels to
the acre. John Schulz and Fred
Macomber both got q bushels Of
wheat to the acre while Miss
Musson got 2712 bushels of
wheat. Her speltz went 80 bu-
she's to the acre.
The Redmond field, that
many were estimating before the
harvest was on, went 80 bushels
to the acre. This was 80 acres
Of new breaking.
Geo. l.. Robinson Of Garrison
is always successful farmer and
he got 1850 bushels from $50
acres.
John Fahlgren was very sue
cessful in corn raising this year.
He brought a sample stalk to
town that measures 9 feet and
8 inches Of Northwestern Dent.
The ears we've we'll developed.
The nihneshers are working
hard, during one half day on the
Hultberg farm they threshed
14OO bushels Of wheat. ALI the
teams and men in the country
can find plenty Of work.
It is said that never before
have so many women worked in
the fields as have in this coun-
ty this summer. There were not
enough men to get and the work
had to be done SO the women
went, out. OF course the men
helped with the house work af-
ter dark.

MORE IMPROVEMENTS
MADE THAN EVER

This promises to be one of the
biggest building years in the
history Of North Dakota. While
the greater portion Of the Un:4-
ed States is standing still, our
state is going right ahead. From
all over the state comes report,
Of building activities. This build
ing is not confined to any one
line but includes residences, farm
buildings, business blocks as we'll
as public buildings. North Da-
kota is able to build this year at
lower prices than will prevail in
times when the balance of the
country is more active. North
Dakota is buying labor and ma
terial on an inactive market this
year and she is reaping much
profit thereby.
One Of the particularly hope
full signs Of the times is the fact
that industries are beginning to
turn their attention to North Da-
kota just now.
Factories are coming into the
state and building here because
