When the bill was itroduced in

companies doing business in the state,

the Merchants Life Association OF

Should the mandamus proceedings

TOMATO VARIETIES.

BY H. o. Werner, of the North Da-
kota Experiment Station.
During the growing season of 1914
extensive variety tests were carried
on with tomatoes at the North Dako-
ia experiment station. A total of 122
strains of 81 varieties were tested.
An individual record was kept of each
Of the ten plants used. The seed was
sown March rs and the plants were
set to the field on May 20.
That there is often a greater differ
ence between strains Of the same va
riety than between different varieties,
was shown in this test. Quite few
of the varieties were found to be mis-.
named. The tendency especially pre-.
valent in the case of the Earliana to-
mato is for seedmen to offer this va
riety as some new early variety when
it may be merely an improvement of
the Earliana or not even that. OF the
varieties designated as belonging to
the first early class. II were found to

Why is it that one town grows and
prospers, year after year, while but
a few miles away another town, just
as we'll located and with just as
great natural advantages simply stag

is because in the first town there is
civic pride, it's people work together
in harmony, have ambition and seek
the best interests of all. It's bust

Over the creek just a mile out of town,
And the ripples are calling, the bottom

Back with the boys in that naked de-

OF swimmin' in summer, all mad

Back with the boys where the road

Through the dust and the daring of

Back with them there with the locust

Back with the boys mid their sun

Oh, wouldn't you like to be back

Community Prosperity.

| The statement in Mondays Times
Record of the claims of the company
to the patronage of the people of Val
LEY City deserves a wider application.
The Times-Record supports-that is
feeds, shelters and clothes-47 people.
Doing these things is the basis of the
worlds commerce and prosperity.
Twice as many people to feed. clothe
and shelter in Valley City would
double the size of the town. The
Times-Record can be made to support
twice Al people if it can secure the
business it is clearly entitled to. This
is the foundation of community
growth. and makes a town not only
prosperous but independent.
The admonition to patronize home
merchants is constant and insistent
and is to the same point. The Times
Record has not been derelict in urging
the claims of the home merchant to
local trade. It is anxious to secure
for others the rights it claims for it.

The same argument should be
made in behalf of our professional peo-
ple. lawyers. physicians. dentists and
occulists. Why not give them the
best business the community has to Of
fer? Why take important cases Oh

treatment. If the world must have

A case in point is the action of the
county commissioners in appointing a
Fargo architect to estimate and de-
sign the proposed jail and sheriff's
residence in spite of the fact that d
