EVERY DEMOCRAT
IN NORTH DAKOTA

Should be a subscriber to the Devils
Lake Journal, the only democratic
daily newspaper published in the
state.
It carries the United Press report,
the best afternoon service in this
country.
1t stands for all that is good in poll
tics, government and society.
It is free from corporation control
and domination.
1t fights the fight of the farmer, the
producer and the people who do not
own newspapers of their own.
1t merits the support of every in
dependent thinking and independent
voting man in the state.
To those who are fighting for bet
ter things, to those who believe the
producer, the laborer and the great
common people are entitled to their
share, it appeals for support.
The daily is 81 per year and the
weekly is $3.50 per year.

Farmers are already making plans
on getting rid of noXious weeds the
coming season. While we have just
finished threshing the greatest crop
in the history of North Dakota, we
also raised the most bountiful crop of
wild oats. There are several plans for
getting rid of the latter, but it takes
good careful farming and in some in
stances. considerable hard work, de-
pending largely upon the methods en-
ployed. One of our readers informs
the Independent that he disced his
land twice this fall. He will let the
weeds grow next spring until his crop
is all in, then he will 60 into that
field with five horses and gang pillow
and turn the soil over good and deep.
He will harrow it twice, then pack it
with a corrugated roller, narrowing
the field during the summer to kill all
weeds and store up the moisture.
Others have seeded winter rye while
others will try to get the best of the
oats with barley. Of course corn or
potatoes or any cultivated crop is an
other solution. The Independent isn't
pretending to tell you how to do your
fsrming-we are just giving the meth

A businessman from this city who
has just returned from visit to no
fewer than twenty of the cities of our
class III the west, says that property in
the business district of Minot is prac-
tically fifty per cent lower than in
practically every other city that he
visited. a comparison of the rents
shows them to be about the same 1t
appears that there is every prospect
for the price Of property in our bus
mess district to advance. Minot is Ger
tain TO be city of $4,000 population
some day and the business district
must be extended. The block on Main
street south of the Elks' Home on
either side will be built in solid with
substantial business houses within the
next two OF three years. Main street
will always be our best business dis
trict with Central avenue close sec
ond. First street southwest is going
along some and one or two of the
finest blocks in the city will be con.
structed next year on First avenue
east.

Talking about geological gardens,
right within the city limits of Minot
can be seen a colony of beaver within
a ten-minute walk from the postoffice.
The colony is located in Mouse river
about midway between the Great Nor
thern viaduct and Wildwood park, but
so clever are the members of the fam
lily that among the thousands who
have passed the place in launches
during the past summer, not one has
ever seen any Of the cunning crea-
lures. Up above the 500 dam beavers
are quite numerous, while up the river
eight miles to Burlington, these won
derful animals are so numerous that
they have become actually destructive.
And still, we doubt if one out Of every
thousand of our population in Minot
has ever seen beaver in his native
haunts. s

The first real fall of snow for the
season appeared Sunday. Most of the
threshing is done, except some stack
threshing that can be attended to any
time during the winter. In some To-
calities, however, considerable shock
threshing remains to be done and if
this snow stays on until spring, the
work will have to be postponed until
then. Field mice and the elements
will work havoc to such fields, but for
tunately ninety per cent of all of the
threshing has been completed. There
are still hopes that the snow will dis
appear, allowing all of the work to
be finished. But little fall blowing
has been done and just now the farm
ers are wrestling with the problem of
marketing countless thousands of
bushels of grain.

larger volume of business in their new

and foul gases; take the excess bile
from the liver and carry off the con-
stipated waste matter and poison
from the intestines and bowels. A

months. They work while you sleep.

A letter thot to have been written
in the Crookston Lumber company's
public reading rooms at Bemidji,
Mimi, and mailed to Sheriff A. F.
Turner, of Grand Forks, N. D., may be
the means of bringing about the ar
rest Of the murderers Of Emil Sund-
man, who was recently robbed, shot
and thrown from a moving train, lay
all night and next morning crawled a
mile and half to the village of Ar
villa, where he was hurried to the
hospital in Grand Forks, where he
died.. The following is the letter: II
wish to notify you that two men who
murdered or shot Emil Sandman at
Arvilla are at hotel at Bemidji,
MINI. Come prepared, for they look
desperate. One wears gray felt hat
and a dirty black suit of clothes and
has sores around his mouth. If you
wish to reward me for the information
l. you can leave word in the papers. If
these men knew l told they would kill
me, as they threatened to do. l hope
you get them and give them their just
deserts. When you get this I will
have to leave town." The letter was
not signed and the writer has not been
found. Sheriff Turner went to that
city and at the hotel named in the let
ter he learned that two men answering
the descriptions of the ones given had
left the day previous for International
Falls, MINI. He followed them and
arrested two suspects, who were re-
leased after being brot to North Da-
kota and proving that they were not
the right parties. Sandman made a
dying statement describing the MUIR
derers, who were unmasked, and gave
details of the attack. The descrip-
ton he gave is said to tally with
those in the letter.

The Independent has definite infor-
nation regarding the building of an
other railway line into the city, but
is not in a position to give out details
this week. We can only say that the
board of directors of one of the trans
continental lines running into the city
have already met to consider the prop
osition that will mean so much not
only to our city but to a country at
present rather isolated. So many
good things are coming Minot's way
that there's no use, however. in get
ting all excited over a little thing like
another railway.

Of course, good farming pays every
year, favorable season such as this
as well as during the lean years. This
year when twenty and thirty bushel
yields of wheat were quite common, a
few reached the forty bushel mark and
a very few pieces of land, that were
plowed to the proper depth, land that
had either been MANFRED well, summer
fallowed, or following crops of corn
or potatoes, made a record of from
fifty to fifty-four bushels.

Plans are under way for paving
twenty-five more blocks in the city
next year. Paving and the White
Way have converted Central avenue
into one of the best thorofares in the
city. They will do wonders for any
other down town street. No property
owner in the business district can af-
ford to put straw in the way of paw
ing. Where he will have to spend a
nickle for paving, it will put dollar
in his pocket in increased valuation.

SLIPPER "CAME BACK"

Here is a curious little war story
that was related to me by its "hero."
He is a British officer who is home
from the fighting front on short
leave, having injured one foot rather
severely. Meanwhile he is going
about in "mufti" and is wearing a
carpet slipper on his injured foot.
The other day while he was tray-
cling down from Hampstead to
Wimpole street in a London motor
bus to see his surgeon, woman op-
posite him in the vehicle leaned over
and inquired how long he had been
Nck from France. Considerably sur
prised, and wondering if he was con-
fronted by a seeress or a feminine
Sherlock Holmes, he explained, and
then asked how she knew that he was
a soldier and had been in France.
''It is quite simple, really" smiled
the fair one. "You see, I made that
slipper that you are wearing and
sent it to the 'front.'

SAVING THE HALF CENT.

In these times, when every little
that can be saved on the living ex-
penses of the poor counts, l would
suggest that the United States gov
ernment coin a half-cent, which
would be Of great benefit to those
who must count every cent of ex-
penses.
For instance, if one wished to buy
a half-pound of coffee, at 25 cents
a pound, one would be obliged to pay
Is cents; with a half-cent piece in
use there would be a saving of half
a cent. There are many other things,
too numerous to mention, that could
be bought by poor people, especially
fruit. One often sees apples and
bananas sold two for one cent. If
poor person had a half-cent he could
buy one, when he did not need two.-

TRUE ENJOYMENT OF LIFE
Certain Periods of Outdoor Recreation
Necessity for HeaithfuI
Exstenee

An inquirer, referring to an ar
ticle in the Bankers Magazine rela-
tive to the health of bankers, is thus
answered by Doctor Evans, the sci
entifc hygienist:
"a bank man should have an ex-
animation once a year to determine
the condition of the kidneys, arte-
.ries, heart and nerves. He should
arrange SO as to have daily period
for exercise in the open air. He can
mot keep fit except by following a
plan Of maintaining fitness, since
bank life is one to which the human
animal does not automatically adjust
itself"
We are all interested in the bank
ters-that they keep in jocund health,
for the general aspect of business
takes its flavor from their physical
health. But the remark applies quite
as well to all our big business men
whose work is entirely indoors in
comfortable chairs, where the seden-
tary and unhealthy life is most at
tractive. The human animal cannot
live its best sorting over notes and
inspecting ledgers. 1t needs out
doors among the trees and on the
banks of streams where the fnny
tribe dwells. Get out where the
smiles of the blue skies awaken the
