Darlington, March Is. - Dragging
the fields for the 1915 wheat crop has
been in progress in this vicinity sever
al days and il the present excellent
weather continues a little longer

comparatively little snow during the
winter, but there was q great edal OF
mnisture last fall before the freezeup
and the conditions are regarded as
favorable.
Seeding will be completed more rap
idly this spring than in many other
years because Of the great amount OF
blowing done last fall.

VALLEY CITY IS ON THE
coAST-TO-COAST TRAIL

The National Parks Highway asso-
citation, promoting the Red Trail,
which will pass through Valley City,
expects to have coast-to-coast high
way with practically no breaks in the
entire route of approximately 5000
miles At Billings, several other
trails merge into the main trail or
national highway. The Red Trail is
blazed from New York to Seattle
with red and white, giving instruction
to autoists regarding the road either
day or night. This great highway will
become in the future one of the main
travelled auto roads of the United
States. A guide book will be issued in
few days giving road conditions
speed conditions, distances, cities
places of interest from New York tc
Seattle. Pennants and Red Trail de
signs for use on the wind shield will
also be provided. ...

THE FARM HOME IS HOPE
OF OUR CIVILIZATION

Of our mistakes, perhaps, none is
chargeable with so sad harvest of
human failure and misery as the
institution of the great cities and
their malignant tendency to grow
greater without apparent end. 1t is
not strange that a credulous people
harken to their call. Their voices
seem to say: Here is wealth, here
is fame, here are opportunity and
pleasure, this is civilization. Hence
forth the world is to live in cities!"
But the wise know that for the many
cities do not hold these things, and
they suspect that the few have secur-
ed them did not find them there. For
if we search the metropolis for it's
great, behold we find that they have
all come from small places! 1t is not
the great city that has bred them; but
the land! 1t is the farm, the village,
the village-ilke city that has endowed
them with their super-abundant
strength, that has nodded their habits
of mastery and success; so that the
metropolis appears, indeed, the place
where the strong, whom the land has
produced, go to fulfill themselves and
bear their fruit
How few of us realize that the most
of life must come from the farmhouse.
in that home is the most health and
happiness and mental well being. In
the past the farm home has not reach
ed it's highest development but with
the coming of the telephone, rural free
delivery, the automobile and good
roads and all of the other agencies,
which are helping to make farm life
happier and better, there must soon
come broader realization of the value
of farmhouse to the individual as well
as to the nation.

NORTH DAKOTA APPROACHES
n THE MILLION MARK.

Grand Forks, March 1S.-The pres
ent indications are that North Dakota
will touch the million mark in popu-
lation within the two year period.
This fact together with others equally
interesting are developed in an inves,
tigation just completed by the Com
mercial Club of Grand Forks. Assum-
ings that the percentage of gains are
continuing at least as high rate as
for the last decennial period, the club
finds that North Dakota has an esti.
mated population of 886,312. This is
a gain of over 100000 in the past five
years. 1t appears that the percentage
of gains is even higher than in former
years, so that it would seem that the
estimates arc we'll within the facts.
City statistics figured by the same
methods as are used by the United
States Census Bureau, now give
Grand Forks population Of 1882,
which shows gain of Fl per cent for
the past FIVE years. These figures are
made up after a careful study by the
government of the postal receipts, gen.
eral revenue and bank clearings as
well as general business indications,
and they are used in the government
business in figuring population gains
and departmental increases. The city
figures therefore bear out the state
population estimates.
Authorities agree that there is an
unusually large number of new citi-
zens headed for North Dakota this
year and they predict that with the
new immigration department of the
state at work in connection with the
railways and other agencies which are
already organized for encouraging i'm
migration into the state that un
doubtedly great growth is before US
President Edmund Pennington Of
the 500 line made the prediction that
this year will witness the heaviest i'm
migration movement on record into
northern Minnesota, and part of NORTH
Dakota. He supplemented it with an
other prediction that the new familie'
that will take up land will know bet
ter how to begin than any settlers
that ever before moved in.
There will soon begin to move int,
Northern Minnesota and North Dakot;
the finest lot of agricultural people
collectively speaking, that ever CAM
this way" Mr.. Pennington said, ''h>
cry family that comes will be an asse
for the state where it settles"
The state census will be taken dur
ing the coming spring and an oppor
tunity will therefore, soon be givel
to check the above figures.

GOOD ROADS.

II it were vain to build a college
For the youth to gather knowledge
II the roadways leading to it
Were a mess of ruts and mire,
And IL swamps and dank mOrasses
Barred the pathways and the passes
Then a church were dead to service
Though it bore the tallest spire.
Light beneath bushel hidden
BY the Master was forbidden,
For buried CLEAN is darkness
And friend in trouble sore
Has no kindly spirit near him
In his hour of care to cheer him
Howsoe'er you wish to do it
II you cannot reach his door.
It were vain to build nation
II from station unto station
Track of steel and wire of copper
Did not hold the common touch;
II the people could not neighbor
In their hours of ease and labor
All the splendor of their ages
Then would not amount to much.
Vain were all mans great inventions,
And all buildings but pretensions
If their usefulness and beauty
Were confined unto the few;
Here's life secret to unravel,
IT'S upon the ease of travel
That is based the final value
OF whatever mortals do.
You on your way, I on my way
Must construct better highway
For the feet of those who follow
Who are journeying behind;
If We leave life's road no better
Than we found it, we are debtor
To our children and their children,
We have selfish been and blind,
Stripped of tinsel and of gliding
LIES road that we are building,
And we're failing in our duty,
If we only understood,
When we find a grim and sad road,
And we leave it still bad road,
Full of ruts and dangerous places,
When we could have made it good.

commercial situations created Ivy the
war is to he found at Liverpool. nor
mally the greatest cotton market Of
Europe. but to-day a vast s%torchouse
for as huge n quantity of this ma
terial as has ever perhaps been collected
at q European port.
At this time last year SS2,ilO bales OF
cotton were stored at Liverpool. To-
day there are I,626. 260 bales. the largest
quantity ever stored as this port-so
large. in fact, that every available build
ing has been converted into a cotton
warehouse
The estimated value of the cotton
now at Liverpool is 800, 900. 900. The
greater portion OF II is American cotton,
OF which last year there were 655, 400
bales, while to-day there are 1,35S.3IO
bales. The biggest building In the city,
Tournament Hail. which accommodates
1000 persons. has been converted into
"A cotton warehouse.
The present situation has been caused
BY three circumstances. all dependent
upon the war. First. the closing Of the
futures market at the outbreak OF the
wal led to very big purchases. which
were added 10 when the futures mar
ket reopened. Second, a large amount
of cotton has been diverted by the
British Government and brought to
Liverpool. Third. Americans have sent
big quantities of cotton because they
regard Liverpool as the best port FOR
future transshipinent.
