A Rim .JOR.

Tom Hall, our Secretary of State,
has said that there were not ten news
paper shops in the state that could
handle the state printing. We have
never agreed with him, as this state
has many good printing establish
ments, capable of turning out high
grade work and at reasonable prices.
Certainly if we are to regard the new
ly issued Game and Fish Laws as any
standard of good printing, satisfactory
to the state printing board, then we
must say that there are great many
printing Offices in the state that could
turn out much better job. The
type used is too small, and not easy
to the eye, the composition is too
crowded, the press work very poor,
and our copy blurred. On the cover
page, the Great Seal Of the state is
run in a heap and looks like big
round COB of ink. 1t resembles more
the picture of a colored gentleman,
stealing home in the darkness with a
sack of stolen chickens, than the state
seal. If this is a sample of the work
that the secretary requires and fixes
as "standard," we cannot see how he
can qualify his statement, that there
are not ten shops in the state capable
of doing better. We do not believe
that there are any ten shops that could
do much worse. One thing noticeable
is the absence of the union label.

CLIMBED THE LADDER.

Henry Ford, the automobile manu-
facturer, was engineer in an electric
light plant in Detroit. Charley Muir
ply, the baseball millionaire, was a
reporter on the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Thomas H. Ince, the motion picture
magnate, was comic opera coined
ian, glad to get $50 a week. Charley
Weegham, owner of the Chicago Fed
eral baseball team and a string of res
taurants was a waiter in a quick lunch
room. And so it goes. The list could
be strung out to columns length.
Therefore, when you hear a boy or a
young man complain that he has no
chance, take him by the arm and tell
him a few things. There never was
a time in the worlds history when
there were more opportunities for a
young man to push to the fror7. There
never was a time when little intelli--
gence and determination would pro-
vide man with a competence in few
years. This is particularly true in the
farming business, for farming is a
business. The young man of today
who will take hold of farm with the
idea Of making it the best farm in the
country around and who will work
intelligently for ten years, with that
idea always before him, will not have
to work for the remainder of life.

ABLE BODIED JINx.

Ed X. Moore, the editor of the Nc
Clusky Gazette, is sure character if
one may judge him by the manner in
which he announces the 18th anniver-
sary of his paper. His dope runs
something like this:
with this issue the Gazette starts
in on it's twelfth year--according to
the date line-and it has experienced
twelve of the most strenuous years
imaginable. 1t has placed several pub
fishers on the tramp, it came mighty
near getting one in Jail, it made dod-
dering idiot out of another, whose hal
lucination took the form of chickens
chasing flies, it has advocated every
thing from goose-raising to the ego
cult (if anyone knows what that is),
it has been in prosperous circumstan-
ces, it has been foreclosed, levied upon,
augmented, summoned, citationed and
liened until the lawyers of the neigh
borhood are shy of it. It has been on
the smooth sea of prosperity until
somebody rocked the boat, and it has
been in the depths of despair. For ut
ter worthlessness it has been hard to
beat, yet in it's columns have appeared
the most fastidious articles of discern
ing men in the days of yore. Oh, the
jinx on this rag is an able-bodied and
resourceful one"

Funny errors occur in newspapers
that cause much annoyance and dis
turbance and loud talk in the print
shops. The Associated Advertising
says, let us all try to console our
selves when our clients tear their hair
over some Typographical error, that
to err is human-especially to err typ
geographically. Some Of the finest jokes
extant come through the fact that the
printers fingers slip. Here are some
which, like all others, are funny a
long, long time Acknowledgment at
the time. A Chicago paper, in report
ing political meeting, said that the
vast audience rent the air with their
shouts. Another Chicago paper re-
ported that the propeller Alaska was
leaving port with a cargo of 10000
bushels of cats. A Buffalo paper,
in describing the scene when Roose-
welt took the oath of Office as presi-
dent, said it was spectacle never to
be forgotten when Roosevelt, before
the chief justice, took his simple bath.

be induced to locate within our boun.
diaries. Some of the money will be
expended in big advertising cam
paign in suitable magazines Of nation
wide circulation, while probably the
biggest share of it will be used by
paid representatives Of the state for
lecturing and demonstration work in
the east. The plan Of course will be to
secure actual settlers--men and wo-
men who will come among us and be
our neighbors and not only aid in our
production of wealth but help to in
crease our knowledge Of farming and
business. No inducements will be held
out to the real estate sharks who have
already worked a great deal of injury
to the state by purchasing land for
speculative purposes and "holding it
for raise" 1t pays to advertise
and if this money is we'll spent, the re-
turns will come back to US in two diff
ferent ways: we will secure a few
good settlers and the East will learn
something about North Dakota that
will help to break down some of the
rock bound prejudices against our
state. Six good settlers with money,
Drawn and brain will pay for the $780,
900. We are glad to add our mite to
the fund, if for no other reason than
to knock out some Of the lies about
North Dakota that have been foster
ed in the popular imagination by east
ern real estate agents and newspapers.

Not long ago, we read copy OF the
report on the vital statistics of the
state and what we noticed particularly
about it, was that it is incorrect. We
see no use of going to the expense of
printing these records and mailing
them out, unless they are reasonably
correct. The number of deaths report
ed exceeds the number of births. This
isn't very good advertising for the
state. The reason that happens to ap-
pear this way is that physicians are
required by law to report deaths and
while they are expected to report
births as we'll, not many of them go
to this trouble. If a doctor fails to
report birth to the proper authori.-
ties he cannot force the settlement OF
the account legally, it is understood.
Parents should insist that their ply
sicians report all births. The record
should be complete. We understand
that not many of them 60 to the trou-
BILE of reporting contagious diseases
as the law requires. All cases Of tu-
berculosis, small pox, typhoid fever,
diphtheria, measles, whooping cough,
syphilis, ETC., should be reported to the
health officer according to law.

WAIT FOR HER.

We never knew girl unfaithful tc
her mother that ever came to be worth

isn't guess. 1t isn't in the Bible. II
is written large and awful in the lists
of misft homes. If one of you boys
ever run across a girl with her cheeks
full of roses, who says, as you come tc
the door: 81 can't come for a few
minutes for the dishes aren't done
yet," you wait for that girl. You sit
down on the door step and wait fol-

A CREDIT TO MTNOT

Hundreds of people visited the VAL
ker greenhouses Sunday afternoon
and enjoyed the most beautiful sight
to be seen in North Dakota today. Mr..
Walker has many thousands of square
feet of flowers under glass and with
out a question has the largest green
house in the state. There are hun
dreds of thousands of young chysan-
themums, geraniums, both red and
white, and the immense beds of car
nations are in full bloom. Hundreds
of baby rambler roses in bloom and in
bud and scores of other varieties of
flowers are found in abundance.
One woman who has tarveled widely
remarked that never before had she
visited such an immense greenhouse.
The place is in perfect order, not a
weed to be found in the beds. Several
men are employed and a visitor won
ders what becomes of all the stock
that is produced there. But none of it
is wasted. Mr.. Walker has built up
an immense business, sending flowers
and plants to all sections Of the north
west. His bed Of sweet peas is per-
haps the prettiest spot in the green
house. He has one section devoted to
early garden "sass" and outside the
houses are thousands of young trees
and bushes Mr.. Walkers place is
surely a credit to our city. ,...

1t would scarcely occur to the aver
age North Dakotan that people from
the Pacific coast have as much curiosity
about North Dakota as the people of
North Dakota have for the Pacific
coast. Yet this very thing is true. The
writer was chatting with San Fran
ciscan the other day. and among other
things this "native son" said: my
wife and have been working hard for
fifteen years. We feel that after the
exposition is over we should have a
vacation, and we are going to take one
of full year. We are going to buy a
new automobile and we are going to
see as much of the United States as
possible in that time. We are going
to North Dakota, and the reason we
are going there is that we have visit
ed the North Dakota building at the
exposition and saw there all the grains
and grasses that can be grown there;
we have seen the coal and clay pro-
ducts, and we have looked at pictures
of some of your farms, cities and
towns, and we are anxious to see them
all in the flesh, as it were, so we are
going to be on our way right after the
exposition closes, and some time in the
summer we will be in this great state
of yours and see for ourselves just
how these things grow, and take in
the sights generally. It is really a
revelation to us that North Dakota is
corn state, and has such immense
coal and clay deposits, and you have
real reason to be proud of the showing
you are making here in San Francis
co."

There are a number Of mischievous
boys living on the north side who are
liable to be taken in tow by the police
if they don't cut out some of their
pranks. They take particular delight
in making it unpleasant for auto driv-
ers. They have thrown glass in the
road and have even placed large
planks across the tracks. They delight
in standing in the street until an auto
is nearly on them. Their parents
ought to take them behind the wood
shed and tan the bosom of their trous-
ers but they do not seem to have any
control over the lads. This is the kind
of boys who grow up to be worthless
characters.

Commissioner of Agriculture Flint
has sent warning out over the state
concerning creamery promoters. A
number have been working in the
state. The commissioner says the
trouble with most of these promoters
is that they do not furnish the right
kind of plant, and they often try to
install plants in places where the field
is not right, thereby setting back the
creamery proposition a decade. They
are certain to insist on prompt pay
ment for the plant. The commission
err suggests that when one of these
promoters shows up, wire or write the
dairy department and man will be
sent out to assist in the organization.
One or two of these inquiries has re-
suited in the promoters leaving sud-
denly to look for greener fields.

TELL IT ALL TO THE ASSESSOR.

TELL 1T ALL TO THE ASSESSOR
During the month of April the as
SCISSOR will call upon the tax payers
and this is the year in which he gath
ers the statistics which are tabulated
and reported to the governor. They
constitute the official statistics of the
state and receive the widest possible
publicity that the state government
can give them.
1t is Of vital importance to the
farmer that he understands this prop
osition, for instead of these figures
working against him, they are his on
ly protection against the Spectator
who arranges his figures to suit him
self, and which might work against
the farmer. If the farmers figures
prove Inaccurate and unreliable, then
his cause and the cause of the county
in which he lives, and in fact the en-
tire state, suffers by comparison in
the estimation of everyone who is
seeking knowledge Of North Dakota,
her products and resources.
Commissioner Flint, of the agricul-
tural department, is guarding the in
terests of both the farmer and the
state, and is out with the request that
all farmers, for their own good if
nothing more, get as near to the ex-
act figures as possible when the asses
sor calls.
The same applies to those in the
cities and villages who are engaged in
manufacturing and other enterprises,
in that they should make as good a
showing as possible, as every item of
progress is a recommendation for the
state. Everything showing industry
should be represented in the statistics.

The girls of the graduating class of
the Cando school are talking of max
ing their own graduation gowns. Sen
sible girls. In times past, there has
been much fuss over clotehs for grad
yates. Poor mothers have had to wear
their old summer hats for several sea-
sons in order to give their daughters
as fine dresses as the daughters of
those who are able to pay the price.
Fathers have had to wear patched
trousers in order to buy tailor made
suits for their young hopefuls. Let's
cut out lot of this fuss, frills and
furbelows. We'd like to see every
school adopt the rule that no girl is
qualified to graduate unless she can
make her own graduating gown.

Every wear there is a scarcity Of

Every year there is a scarcity Of
good seed. Many farmers think that
in order to get good esed, they have to
change their wheat. We know Of q
large number of farmers who have
been grading up their seed year after
year, saving the best of what they
grow, eliminating the shriveled grains
and retaining the strong seed. Many
farmers make a few hundred dollars
extra every year, cleaning up their
grain and disposing of it for seed at
a figure several cents higher than the
market price.

Importance. A president of the COM

expended annually and men should be
selected with their peculiar fitness to

The split log drag has contributed
more toward the economic mainten-
ence of public highways than any i'm
plement of modern usage. It does
not require special acts of the legis-
lature, bond issues nor expensive edu-
cational campaigns to make it avail
able as usually precedes construction
work. A drag can be built or purchas-
ed for twenty dollars and is easily op-
Grated by anyone who can drive a
team. We need more drags in this
section of the state.

The Democrats are going to run
John Burke, United States Treasurer
and three times governor of North Da-
kota, for the Senate next year. They
believe that with a split in the repub-

the race, the democrats believe that
the party would be hopelessly rent
asunder.
