Having Hard Luck

Washburn hunters who are out
in the woods are having hard
luck bringing down their one
buck and thus far very few deer
have been shipped into the city.
Already a number have returned
to the city empty handed and
many say they will not try again
for a deer as long as the lone
buck" law is in force.
Deer hunting is difficult work
when only buck deer can be
killed and for this reason many
are becoming disguised.

Giving Good Results

Since taking the management
of the Bayfield, County Telephone
Company in this city Robert Nc
Kinney, President of the COM
pany, has been getting results.
Mr.. Mckinney now has in his
employ an expert telephone man,
besides a number of other work
men, who are giving their entire
attention to building up the
system in this city and some
marked results are already motto
able.
It is the new managers inten-
ton to give telephone trouble"
first class service and it is re-
markable how quickly a tele-
phone is put in order after the
report has come in that it is not
working satisfactorily.
Mr.. Mckinney is rather retl-
cent about saying what the COM
pany intends to do, believing
that it is better to do the work
first and let people know what
work has been done afterwards
by the improved service.
The company is now busy
every day installing new phones
and according to the new man
ager business is rafting good
with the company.

A FOAL'S FIRST SUMMER.

Plenty Of Feed Is Necessary Fer Growth
and Development.
The FIRST summer is the time when
growth can be put ON the colt cheapest
and most prOtitably, writes Fl. e. Nc
Cartney in the Orange Judd Farmer
Plenty of food is necessary for best
growth and development. OF all feeds
the mothers milk is of greatest impor-
lance. 1t Is essential that the dam be
cared for in such way as will cause
her to yield the biggest supply of milk
possible. Mares sucking fOals should
be fed literally of clean, healthful and
appetizing foods. 1t is permissible and
usually advisable that the mare be
worked. She should, however, be in
the hands of the most thoughtful, care
full driver and should be handled with
good judgment.
After the age of about one month
the foal needs food in addition to what
it can secure from it's mother. Clean.
bright oats makes probably the best
feed that is available on the farm. A
mixture of oats, bran and linseed meal

will go to the trouble of preparing or
mixing a feed. Ordinarily colt will

North Dakota Great Coal State

1t is safe to say that the average
vast coal beds of the state, and that
North Dakota has the distinction of
having more coal deposits than any
other state in the union. This is
fact. For a number of years the state
authorities on this subject have claim
ed that North Dakota has 50O,00O.-
100000 tons of Ignite coal, but the
government geological survey goes
these authorities one better and have
estimated that North Dakota has $685.
900, 100000 tons Of Ignite coal. This
fact was learned by visit to the pal
ace of mines at the exposition at
Frisco, where the geological survey
has a fine display showing the re-
sources of the various states in the
Union.
North Dakota leads them all with
698,00O. 100000 tons. The most of
our fuel now comes from the states
Of Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois.
Yet Pennsylvania has a total of only
10000, 100000 tons, while Indiana
and Illinois have $4,000, 100000
tons and 100000, 100000 tons res
pectively. North Dakota has nearly
double the supply of the three states
combined.
The state geological survey at
Grand Forks has shown these facts
most graphically in the display at the
Panama Pacific International Exposi-
ton and is gaining much excellent
publicity for North Dakota there.

PRAIRIE FIRES

Spring and fall are the seasons In
North Dakota when, If at all. prairie
fires occur. Dead grass and stubble,
dried by sun and wind. become in

cinder from passing locomotive,

may start blaze which will spread
with incredible speed, and, famed by
the wind which its own heat sets In
motion such fires have been known to
sweep for hundreds of miles.
The prairie fires of today in North
Dakota are more local in character.
Graded roads and plowed fields check
the fires here and there. and often
bring them to stop altogether.
Buildings or stacks in dangerous.
locations can be rendered almost per-
fectly secure by plowing wide fire.
breaks around them, or by plowing,
two narrow flrebreaks, one at some
distance outside of the other, and
burning carefully over all the ground
between on a fairly quiet day. At a
recent meeting of the Medical asso-
citation held in Grand Forks, it was
stated that when lives are lost in
prairie fires, which occasionally
happens, such disasters are usually
due to panic, except when buildings
take fire at night while the occupants
are sleeping. There is little need for
any person to be injured in a prairie
fire in the daytime, and absolutely
none II one has a supply of matches.
A safe area may be created In few
seconds by burning. Even without
this, 1t is almost always possible to
find place where grass is short. and
when the fire reacehs such place, 1t
is usually a simple matter to step
through 1t to safety on the burned
side.
Great care should be taken In all
parts of our state to avoid starting out
door fires at this season of the year.

The Commercial Club and Progress.

All progress Is change, but not all
change is progress. The great mass
of we human beings prefer the old or
der. We accept precedent without
thought; it is easier to drift than to
swim against the current. The con-
slant inclination of our different Or
ganiZed activities is to harden into
the rut. But, we are told that "ye
may not enter the Kingdom OF Heav-
en-. lest ye be born again." Without
change which is progress. we cannot
reach the final goal. We must pro-
gress. we must be born again, and
again and again. each time, better
than the last.
1t is only recently in the worlds
history, that the reformer was allow
ed to live. Great inventors, who have
changed only mechanical ways of do
in gthings have paid for their thought
with their lives. Great teachers who
have dared to see beyond the petty
philosophy of their times. have been
sacrificed by those who believed in
the existing order. The thinker of
new thoughts which would bring
about change had always been made-
to suffer, but-and here is the hope.
for a fuller future-less and less, az.
time goes on.
The modern commercial organiza-
tion, where it is alive and active must.
and does, suffer criticism which has;
always fallen to the reformer. for its.
work is to initiate change, to bring
about the right kind of progress. The
modern Commercial club must realize
that there is room for Improvement
and it must work for that improve
ment In bringing about change; it
must expect to work counter to the.
beliefs of those who are satisfied to-
accept the old order and who do not
care to progress. This is history.
This is life.
Careful, consistent progress brought
about through the study Of civic pro-
blems by citizens working through:
their commercial organizations must
eventually make for greater. better.
more useful American cities.

sow FLAX EARLY
II. l.. Bolley, Botanist and Plant
Pathologist, North Dakota Exper-
iment Station.

Within few days there will be
ready for distribution from the North
Dakota Experiment Station a circu-
lar entitled: "GrOWing of Flax on
Corn Ground and Other Old Cropped
lands-Early and Late Sowing"
The topic of early and late sowing
is one of much Importance. Flax has
usually been seeded whenever it has
been found convenient, after the 9TH
er grains are seeded. This often re-
suits in failure, when, in reality, the
crop has slight opportunity to succeed
because the time of sowing is bad.
Observations extending over num-
ber of years tend to confirm the belief
that in most parts Of North Dakota,
early planting of flax, gives most re-
liable results, both in yield and qual-
ity
Late paintings often give large
yield if they escape the fall frosts.
This has induced many to plant later
than Is justifiable. with the result
that the crop often loses out, fails to
ripen evenly or is destroyed by frost.
Many have been in the habit of SOW
ing flax about May goth to 25th. OBJ
servations tend to indicate that this
is not a very desirable period of
planting, particularly for south and
central North Dakota; for the flax
comes into blossom and boil lforma-
tion Just at the hottest period Of the
year when the soil moisture is ap: to
be scarce, the sun very hot, and
the winds most drying Under
such conditions, the flax ripens
a small crop because of the
blighting OF the flowers and bolls. 1t
| is, therefore, quite evident that one
should so YEARLY enough to have the
flax blossom and form the bolls be-
fore the hot weather comes on or
sufficiently late to have the blossom
ing and boil formation period begin as
soon as the hottest weather is past,
and yet early enough to escape au-
tumn frosts. There can be no ques-
tion about the matter for those who
are raising seed for sowing purposes.
These should, for the most part, plant
early.
The bulletin indicates that there is
very little danger to flax by frost in
the spring while the plants are young.
Young flax plants stand severe spring
frost, but flax while maturing in the
fall is injured by the slightest touch
of frost

Government Must Take
Over the Railroads.

Government ownership of railroads
is subject growing daily in impor-
tance. II is freely predicted that it
will be one of the issues in the next
presidential campaign. Probably it
will be a plank adopted by the Demo-
cratic party. The financial condition
of the railroads is one of the strong
est reasons for precipitating matters.
The railroads admit that under priv
ate ownership they have been fnan-
cial failure and are now clamoring to
the interstate commerce commission
for increased rates. The commission
has ceased to be a regulative body.
The law under which 1t has been ope-
rating as real regulator of rates has
broken down, and the commission has
now bowed to political and railway in
fuence and is actively undoing all
that it previously did, even going to
the extent of re-opening the matter Of
express rates. Unless a regulating
commission Is able to secure some re-
lief to shippers and consumers, its
function becomes simply that of a
body to guarantee the profits and div
6snds of the railroad owners.
The answer is too obvious to be
avoided. Regulation which does. not
regulate must be succeeded by owner
ship. The history of the Interstate
Commerce Commission act and the ad-
miaistration of the commission has
proved that the theory of regulation
of . powerful interest is fallasious,
and that where the interest 10 as pow
