Home Merchant Can
.... Meet Peddlers' Price

One of the factors the retail mer.
chant has to contend with during the
fall months when money is plentiful,
is the house-to-house peddler or can
vasser; the representative of the twin
city or Chicago grocery and supply
house, with his song to the farmers
about the vast savings they can make
in their living costs by disregarding
the home merchant and supplying
their wants from his concern. AS a
leader these gentlemen usually offer
staple items such as sugar and flour
at very low prices, but the farmer
will find that on other items they are
extremely long. They are smooth OF
speech, these travelling peddlers, and
many of the farmers fall for their
glowing representations. The home
merchant can, in nine cases out OF
ten, meet the prices Of the peddler
on goods of the same quality, provid.
. N'gg .f h 1. q L Z
ing the farmers pay the cash. Many
of them for the same price can give
better quality of goods, and the
home merchant is always here to stand
back Of the goods he sells. He is with
you in lean years and in fat years; in
adversely he lends his. aid and sym.
patty and in prosperity he rejoices
with you; if you need little credit
to tide you over for time he will
help you. Think it over, Mr. Farmer
then bring in that order for groceries
you had intended to give to the ped.
dler or send to the mail order house
and you will be surprised at just what
= bargain the home merchant will give
you on it.

ROCKEFELLER TELLS MINERS
STRIKES MUST BE STOPPED

Denver, COL, Oct. ST. have told
the officers of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Co., and miners employed by the
corporation that there is one thing
which must never happen again that
Is strike. A strike is wantonly
wasteful of human life and property;
no party is benefited but all parties
are harmed, including the public and
the state"
This was the statement of John d.
Rockefeller, Jr., in an address before
the Denver chamber of commerce to-
day, where he was the guest of honor
at the weekly luncheon of the organi-
cation.
I'VE cannot hope to prosper until
labor and capital join hands," Mr..
Rockefeller said. "A spirit of democ-
racy underlies our industrial plans.
We shall try to so administer this
plan that there may never come a
day in which may be repeated the
industrial disorders which have too
often come in the affairs of this COM
pany and other companies in the
state.
With the announcement of complete
returns from the referendum vote of
the coal miners employed by the Col
orado Fuel and Iron Co., officers of the
company declare the Rockefeller in
dustrial plan has been adopted.

Of the North Dakota Farmers insti-

THE LOST HOUR

She kept Tom Gibbs in after school
When all the world was fair,
Because he broke some simple rule;
She did not seem to care
How much he suffered when he heard
Us going out to play,
While he sat there and never stirred
Because he had to stay.
He looked at his geography,
But could not read a word;
She did not know he could not see
Because his eyes were blurred.
And when he heard the shouts and
cries
AS we went through the gates,
A great big tear fell from his eyes
On the United States.
And then he ciphered on his slate,
In hopes he might forget,
The world, and think of eight times
eight;
But just when he would get
The answers down, he'd hear us call
Zone strike! outside, at play
And then another tear would fall,
And wash his sums away.
He looked into his history
Awhile, and watched the clock;
He read from ancient times till he
was clear to Plymouth Rock;
And he read down and never stopped
His studying until
He heard us cry outside, and dropped
A tear on Bunker Hill.
And after that she let him go,
In sorrow to the brim,
Twas strange she did not seem to
know
She took an hour from him;
And even with the mighty power
A teacher has to rule,
She cannot give him back the hour
That she took after school,.
j. W. Foley.

THE MAN WHO DOESN'T GO
p. WRONG

Somebody lately asked the st. Louis
chief of detectives what type of man
it is that goes wrong most frequently
His answer showed him to be a
shrewd observer.
He didn't even try to answer the
question directly.
There is no particular type" he
said. But there is a clear type OF
man who never is in trouble, how
ever. This is the man who lives with
in his means, who saves part of his
earnings each day and week and year
1t does not matter how much, just so
he lives within his income and saves. u
Now there's good sense.
There is a type of man who goes
wrong. 1t is the type of man who
lives only for today and who gives
tomorrow no thought. 1t is the type
of man who lives beyond his income
so long as he can find credit, and
when credit is gone "borrows" from
his employer-taps the till.
To save a part, even small part,
of ones earnings is to do more than
just to lay by little money. 1t is
to avoid the class of expenditures that
leads by the pathway of dissipation
tn tho ahvcc IF rrimp
Even thrift is not enough in itself
to make a good man. A thrifty man
may be mean, greedy, grasping,
stingy and even crooked.
But thrift is sound quality, one
too little practiced, and one that it
pays to cultivate-pays the individual
and pays the community.
The spendthrift's money has the
wings of a bird and is ever on the
flight. The thrifty mans money gets
into tidy little wads in the bank
where it is available for business and
industry.
The spendthrift is no benefit to
the community, may easily be a nuis-
ance, and often becomes a menace.
The thrifty man attends to business,
lays by a little, buys himself home,
invests in sober, decent enterprises,
has a stake in the community, inter-
ests himself in it's affairs-becomes a
good citizen, builder.
And he seldom "goes wrong"

SOME READABLE VERSE
THE CHORD

THE LOST CHORD
Seated one day at the organ,
was weary and i'll at ease,
And my fingers wandered idly
Over the ivory keys.
I do not know what was playing,
Or what ! was dreaming then,
But I struck one chord of music,
That sounded like great amen.
1t flooded the crimson twilight,
Like the close of an angels psalm
And it lay on my fevered spirit,
With a touch Of infinite calm.
1t quieted pain and sorrow,
Like love overcoming strife;
1t seemed a harmonious echo
From our discordant life.
1t linked all perplexed meanings,
Into one perfect peace,
And trembled away in silence,
And if it were loath to cease.
l have sought, but seek it vainly,
That one lost chord divine,
That came from the soul of the organ
And entered into mine.
1t may be the Deaths bright angel
Will speak in that chord again;
1t may be that only in heaven
shall hear that grand Amen.

citizens. Although of quiet demeanor
he had made his worth felt, and his
best friends were his oldest friends.
The upright life and conscientious

incentive to our young men to so irve
that when the final summons comes
the people will bear testimony that
they have been good men AID respect

The strain of the dry campaign in
Hennepin county evidently drove
thousands to drink, and under the spell
of the counter irritant they voted
"wet." That's one reason for the sa-
loon victory, but another might be
found in the fact that the business
men were afraid of losing out to St.
Paul, and at the last minute cast their
vote and their lot with the moist ele'
ment.

Cooperation may be necessary by
the farmers to save the splendid crop
that has been harvested. The wet
weather will have tendency to make
the laborers leave, and owners of
threshing rigs and communities should
get together and do everything in their
power to get the grain threshed. We
are hopeful of some good results
through cooperation.

North Dakota Experiment
Station to Feed Sheep

(Farm Information Service, North Da-
kota Experiment Station.)
The North Dakota experiment sta
ton last fall began a sheep feeding ex-
pertinent at it's Williston sub-station
which is to continue for several years.
The sheep for this years work ar
rived at Williston few days ago.
They were a choice carload of range
lambs secured in Montana and shipped
to Williston under the "stop over for
feed" privilege extended by the rail-
ways which allows the shipping Of
stock from western points to any point
west of St. Paul, unloading for feed
ing period up to six months time,
! then reloading and shipping to St.
Paul under the original billing, which
gives the shipper the benefit of the
through rate instead of his being
charged the two local rates which
would make the freight very expen-
sive.
The principal object of this work is
to demonstrate to the farmers of the
state that they can profitably feed a
carload or two of sheep for period of
six weeks to three months each and
thereby utilize much of the product of
the farm that ordinarily is wasted.
Last year carload of lambs were
received at Williston on Oct. 16. They
were fed for 103 days on alfalfa hay,
elevator screenings and low grade bar
ley and sold in South st. Paul on Jan.
20. After charging against the lambs
all feeds at market prices, charging
all incidental expenses, such as the
material for feed racks and watering
troughs, the building of straw shed
for shelter and interest on the in
vestment, profit of 5000 was made on
the carload.
This year the lambs were secured a
month earlier and will be grazed over
a field of corn and over stubble fields
for about six weeks and will then be
finished on alfalfa hay and grain for
about four weeks more, at which time
they will be marketed.
The Montana sheep men have dis
covered ahead of the Dakota farmers
that there are quantities of feed suit
: able for fattening sheep going to waste
in Dakota grain fields every fall. A
great many sheep are now shipped
from Montana ranges to Dakota stub
BILE fields each year during the month
of September to be fattened and then
sent to market. The Montana men,
however, almost invariably retain
ownership of the sheep and pay the
Dakota farmer a paltry sum for the
use of the stubble fields. The Dako-
ia farmer aften looks at the selling of
the stubble field fol grazing az huge
joke and considers the small sum he
gets for it as easy money. As mat
ter of fact the Montana man is the
wise one in the transaction, for he has
found that a bunch of sheep will get
from one-half bushel to one bushel
of grain per acre from stubble field.
He knows this is true from the gains
the sheep make while grazing on stub
BILE.
1t is the belief of the North Dakota
experiment station that the Dakota
farmer would make more money by
buying sheep himself, utilizing what
stubble he has for grazing them and
supplying sufficient other feeds to
make them fat enough for market.
TO prove or disprove the contention
the series of feeding trials at Will
liston is being conducted.
