The Independent regrets to learn,
and from excellent authority, that the
North Dakota exhibit at the Panama
Exposition, is not as good as it might
be. The state appropriated 5000, a
very small amount as compared with
many other states, but enough to make
better showing than we have. We
have a very nice building, located in
the most conspicuous portion of the
ground and in charge of one of the
best boosters of the state. We don't
mean to give the impression that the
exhibit isn't good one, but that it can
be made better and that it is not too
late yet. North Dakota got her build
ing ready much earlier than many of
the states. Some of the exhibits will
not be ready before May I. We have
raised better corn than is to be seen
at the exhibit Some Of the grains and
grasses have been used in previous
expositions. All space in the building
has not been used. The millers seem
to have overlooked very nice bet.
The writer has not visited the exposi-
ton yet, but according to reports from
those who have been there, we ought
to get busy at once and make the ex-
hibit even better than it is. Hundreds
of thousands Of eastern farmers will
visit the fair during the year and
North Dakota should put her best foot
forward"

mand for good, pure bred stock thru
out North Dakota is much greater
than the supply. Even in Wisconsin
and other dairy states, the breeders
have been unable to supply the de-
mand. With the shipping of stock cut
off from many of the other states by
reason of the foot and mouth disease,
North Dakota stockmen and dairymen
will have to depend largely upon the
home product, Many of the farmers
still adhere to grade stock. A pig is
lust a pig, with some, and a scrub
male serves it's purpose in their dairy
herds. There has been a general
along this line,. however,
and an effort is being made every
where to eliminate the star boarders
from the dairy herds and to head those
herds with the best males obtalnable.

BREAD OR ALCOHOL.

One day in the Russian Duma man
arose and said:
81 hold in my hand an official report
showing that the government now
owns and has stored in warehouses
and elevators, rye, wheat and oats to
the extent of more than 1OO,O00,000
bushels. This grain was purchased for
the manufacture of vodka, we cannot
use it for bread. The deciding factor
in this great war in which we are en-
gagged will be famine. That is, the
country that has the greatest food
supply will eventually win. If we use
our grain for vodka, we cannot use it
for bread | therefore hereby intro
duce bill poviding that the govern
ment shall cease the manufacture and
sale of spurious liquors in every form;
that it shall also prohibit the manu-
facture and sale of strong drink; and
that, on penalty, no grain or other
food substances shall be used in this
country by any one under any condi-
ton for the manufacture of strong
drink"
And behold, the bill was passed. The
Russian people preferred bread to al
cohol. Since which remarkable and
yet natural decision they have proven
the wisdom Of it. Prohibition in Rus
STA came because it was moral, eco
nomic and uplifting.-National Advo-

There appears to have been very
nice little Joker in House Bill 331, tax
ing money and credits, which had al
ready passed the house and which
came to the senate on the last night
of the session for final passage. Sen
ator Englund of Kenmare seems to
have discovered the joker. thereby
saving Ward county several thousand
dollars. The bill as originally passed
provided for settlement of litigated
taxes on two mill basis, but before,
it finally got through, had been raised
to 25 mills. The bill would have per-
mitted certain Kenmare loan COM
panv to have settled $4,000 worth OF
taxes for S24O. Former Senator
Steele, of Mohall, who attended the
last half of the session, is said to have
been interested in the bill, tho just
what his particular interest could have
been, we are at loss to say.

The farm sales that have been held
in this vicinity this spring, have dem
onstrated that the price of cattle,
horses, hogs and chickens are not on
the wane, in fact, the price Of cattle,
especially, seems to be better than
ever. At one sale. a little calf, week
or two old, brot SIS. Cows have brot
from $50 to 500. Two-year-old heif-
ers from S35 to $50. Hogs for breed
ing purposes, less than a year old,
bring from s18 to $50, depending on
the breed. Brood mares are worth
from $3.50 to $3.50. Few chickens
have been offered for sale and most
any old kind Of bird brings from 60
to rs cents. Farm machinery has been
selling for all that it is worth. These
prices indicate prosperous times and
show that there is a demand for farm
stock.

Some political medicine was mixed
during the legislative session that may
have an effect on the campaign which
will be opened a year hence. Geo. M:
Young, congressman from the second
district, may have serious opposition
in Senator Davis of Goodrich. Davis
friends are urging him to become a
candidate for lieutenant governor to
replace Colonel Frame, who will most
likely try for gubernatorial honors.
Hanson, who was speaker Of the
house, is being urged to become a can
didate for the U. S. Senate or for Con-
gress against Young.

Just now, North Dakota farmers
are getting rid Of many of their hogs
because the price of feed is SO high
that considering the price of pork,
there isn't anything in the business:
The wise farmers are not selling off
all their hogs, however, realizing that
soon the business will become as prof
liable as ever. Porkers multiply rap
idly and where they are: fed with cat
tie, there is really good money in the
business under present conditions.

One of the laws passed by the legis-
lature compels the railroads to build
hog-tight fences along their right OF
way, where farms are provided with
the same kind of fencing along the
other three sides. The railroads we're
not averse to such legislation. They
realize that the more hogs our farmers
grow, the greater will be the revenue
of the railroads.
