HAPPENINGS At Y.C. An. S.

Miss Anna Overton is quite sick,
they are going to take her to Mem
phis this morning for an operation.
Miss Annie Murphy has sent US
word that she will soon be with US
again. We will certainly, be glad to
have her back. .
Misses Jessie Monroe and Maggie
Lou Hill have come to board with US.
Just come over and visit our school
and see what we and the rest of the
Agricultural High Schools are doing
for the advancem INT and betterment
of the boys and girls of the state.
For one thing the C)rn Club hoys are
doing a lot for the advancement Of the
boys of the community. These Corn
Clubs awaken more interest in the
farm and how to conduct . farm in
the bcys. They cause them to studs

this the boys will form . love for the
farm and farm work and never roam
to cities in search of employment
and lose themselves in the whirl and
racket of the cities and finally re-
turn to the farm broken in health and
spirits. And the Tomatoe Clubs must
not be left out of the question for if
the Corn Clubs are good for the boys
the Tomato Clubs are equally as good
for the girls. 1t teaches them to be
self reliant and independent. Most
boys and girls have to come here and
hoard, in this they get used to staying
away from home and are better pre-
pared for College life because they
have mixed with people whom they
mad not known all thier lives. Got
out side of hollering distance of home,
so to speak.
The boy or girl who goes away
from home can see the mistakes
they were in the habit of making at
home and overcome these mistakes,
this lifts he or she above their
former associates but he can bri ny
them up to his level by refusing to
fall back in those old ru.s with
them.

The girls are also taught how to

A bill is up before congress,
and has been read twice and re-
ferred to the committee on pub
lie lands, that provides for stock
raising homesteads. Any person
qualified to make entry under
the homestead laws of the u. S..
may make homestead entry
for GAO acres Of unappropriated,
unreserved public land in reason
ably compact form. Instead of
cultivation, as required by the
homestead laws the entryman
shall be required to make per-
manent Improvements upon the
land entered before final proof is
submitted tending to increase the
value of the same for stock rails
ing purposes, of the value of not
less than $1.25 per acre, and at
least one half of such improve
ments shall be placed upon the
land within three years after the
date of the entry thereof.
The bill also provides that in
the event there are not contig-
uous lands in area to complete al
entry of $40 acres, the entryman
or patentee shall have the right
to enter within a radius of ten
miles from his first entry, land
sufficient to make up the full $40
acres.

DIDN'T KNOW THE FoYs.

The following incident proves be-
yond the shadow of a doubt that the
world is mighty big place after all.
1t happened in a New York vaude-
vile theater, where Eddie Foy was
exhibiting his act with the assistance
of his seven children. Two women
in the balcony nearly became hys-
terical at the comedians droll re-
marks and at his vain vocal attempts
to render operate endings to his
songs. When the act was over and
the applause had subsided one asked
the other who the man and seven
children were. Her friend studied
the program closely and replied: "It
says here Eddie Foy and the seven
little Foys."

OBEY LAW OR QUIT

From the Arizona Copper Camp.
1t would seem that public
official should be the first to obey
a law, particularly when that
law is directed to him personally.
If he fails in this clear duty he
should be promptly removed by
the governor, if, as in the case
we have in mind, the governor
has jurisdiction of the matter.
But Warden Robert Sims of the
Florence penitentiary has not
only failed but fatty refused to
obey the law, and he not only
continues to hold office, but the
governor says the matter is
out of my hands.
Ramon Villalobo in due form
was sentenced by the superior
court to die on January 8 for the
murder of w. P. Brown of Ray.
The warden refused to obey the
court order on the ground that
the board of pardons and paroles
should first pass upon the case.
Whether or not this should be
done is beside the point. The
point is that the one and only
duty of the warden was to obey
the court order. Mr.. Sims is
the warden of a prison and not
a judge of the court, and his
failure to do his plain duty is
made more fragrant by his as
sumption of powers which be-
long to others. In the words of
Attorney General Jones, this off
cial "failed-there is no pretext,
failed, say, to do that which
was clearly set down for him to
do."
Unfortunately this matter is
complicated by the fact that
neither the governor of this state
nor the warden of the prison
believes in capital punishment.
But personal beliefs and pref
erences have no place where the
law is concerned. If the war
den's personal feelings are SC
strong that they prevent him
from obeying the law, he should
resign or be removed at once.
And if the governors feelings
are so biased that they prevent
him from recognizing a law when
he sees one, he too should re-
sign, or be ousted with like
promptnesS.

The Harvest Conference of the In

The Harvest Conference of the In
dustrial Workers GU Of the World
will be held at Kansas City April Is.
These men assert that the object Of
their meeting is to get more pay from
the farmers for less work. This or
ganization has a large membership,
consisting principally of the riff-raff
of the country. Minot has had her ex-
perience with the I. w. WIS and they
have had their experience with Minot
We predict that they will let us alone
hereafter and go where there are cas-
Ter 'pickin's." There men do not actu-
ally care to work. They do not actual
ly want the farmers to give in and
grant their demands. Should the
farmers agree to give them four dol
lars day for six hours work, for in
stance, they would soon want five dol
lars day for five hours work. They
want to stir up trouble and they usual
ly succeed in doing it-for themselves:
Our farmers are not at the mercy of
the I. w. WIS. Most Of them are cap
able of caring for their own crops.
They are capable of employing COM
petent men the year round, when they
need extra help, and every year the
demand for these foaters is growing
less and less in North Dakota.

"HAND-PICKED" FARMERS.

"There will soon begin to move in

kota the finest lot of agricultural peo-
pie, collectively speaking, that ever

"Every family that comes will be an
asset for the state where it settles.
"They are fully matured and hand
picked farmers" Mr.. Pennington said
"They are not experimenters or mere
ly dissatisfied citizens moving from
place to place to try something new
They know how to till the soil and
have means enough to make a start.
"The state of North Dakota appro-
priated 100000 to start this work and
it is going to get the money back by
indirect benefit, tenfold. Our own line
has been carrying on a campaign fol-
settlers for northern Minnesota.

class of farmers, but the bringing un
der cultivation by them this year Of
the largest new acreage ever so taker
up in any one season."

U. L. Burdick, who was offered a

weigh the situation we'll. The friends

Gates he will be a candidate to be

cept a place on the board of regents,
leaves the northwestern section of the

is willing to do what he can to locate

Good seed is only obtained thru
careful breeding and if many of our
farmers would be more careful in
saving their best seed, year after year,
they would be breeding up a better
variety all the time. An old farmer,
who has attained success, talked to US
the other day on this subject. "Take
wheat, for instance" he said. "Many
farmers who have surplus of good
wheat, are cleaning it, grading it by
running it thru the tanning mill sew
eral times, eliminating the smaller
grains and cleaning it at the same time.
They are getting from five to ten
cents a bushel more for their wheat
than the market price. Often you
will see new kind of seed wheat brot
to the country and it usually yields a
few more bushels to the acre. Why is
this? I am of the opinion that the
reason is not because it is so much
better than the wheat we raise right
here, but because of it being high
priced, the farmers take more care
with it. They put it on their best
ground and put it in at the right
time" The Independent has made
inquiries and finds that seed wheat is
selling for S1.60 for the best at pres
