eventually. The statement was made
positively today that Austria's repre-

Il will depend very much on the result
of a conference which nc viii hold with
Baron Zwicdinek, Austrian charge, at the
State Department about O'Clock.
II is practically certain Austria's
reply will be made public Sunday
morning at the latest. The Amer

The residents of Minot have done a
good job of cleaning up their premises,
but the authorities ought not overlook
those who have failed to remove their
ashes, garbage and disgusting looking
piles of tin cans and debris. Let's clean
the old town up thoroly and keep it
clean. Soon the matter of garbage will
need our attention. The authorities
ought to insist that no garbage be
dumped out where it will furnish a
breeding place for flies and where it
proves most obnoxious. There are GER
tain outbuildings that should be either
cleaned or removed entirely. Just
across the river from the beautiful
Riverside park is an immense lot of
old cans and rubbish to mar the seen
cry We can make Minot the cleanest
and most beautiful city in North Da-
kota.

WHO ARE LOONY?

A few years ago someone made thu
statement that insanity was more
prevalent in the rural communities
than in the cities and towns. Every.
body has believed it and tried to &C.
count for it.
1t was loneliness"
1t was the hard work imposed by the
farm on the farmers wife.
1t was a dozen things.
And now we discover that it was a
lie.
The News Letter of Ohio State Un-
iversity calls attention to the fact that
according to the census of 1910 the
number of persons admitted to insti-
buttons for the insane out of each
100000 of farm people is al, and for
the cities and towns IS, and adds: at
is, therefore, now the farmers turn
to ask the urbanites, Who's loony
now? "-Farm and Fireside.

We wonder how many of our read.
ers have noticed the difference between
the man who has been married but a
short time and one who has been mar.
ried several years. You can always
tell young husband from an old one
When a man has been married a few
months, you will generally see him
working in the garden, fixing up
about the place and while he whistles
or sings, he occasionally looks up to-
wards the window to see if any one is
watching him. A year later he is still
working in the garden but the smile
has been changed for frown and he
occasionally looks up towards the
house wondering why in thunder din
ner isn't ready. Another year rolls
by and his looks would sour milk, but
he is still at work, stopping occasion
ally to kick the dog or throw brick at
the cat. The next year we find him
sitting on the front porch, smoking a
pipe while his wife does the digging
in the garden. Now just watch our
young men, as one by one they are
caught in Cupid's net and see if the
rule does not work out the problem
correctly.

At the last session of the legisla-
ture, the law pertaining to bounty
for tree planting was amended, and
under this new law any person who
plants or causes to be planted trees
on the farms of the state is entitled to
a bounty of three dollars per acre for
trees planted and cared for, so as to
keep them in a healthy, growing con-
dition. The requirements are for 400
trees to the acre, the amount of the
bounty cannot exceed the amount of
the tax on the quarter of land on
which the trees are planted. and the
acreage for tree bounty is limited to
10 acres. 1t costs more than most
people estimate to plant and care for
large grove, but nothing adds more
to the general appearance of the coun-
try or the farm homes. Those who
have spent their time and money in
setting out groves should make appli-
cation to the county for this tree
bounty. The assessors are supposed to
examine the groves when they are
around taking the regular assessment.

The Republican Publicity Associa-

The Republican Publicity Associa-
ton Of Washington, D. c., very kindly
offers to furnish the Independent and
any other newspaper with plate mat
ter, to the extent of several columns q
week. No, thank you. We would
much rather write our own editorials.
They may not be so we'll written, we
may not be able to advance such
sound arguments, but we will have the
satisfaction Of knowing just what goes
into our columns each week. And be-
sides, there may be certain republican
candidates that do not meet with our
approval. The time has long past
when the Independent considers itself
in duty bound to support man just
because he calls himself a republican,
a democrat, or member of some
other party. He must prove to our
satisfaction at least, that he is the
man for the people. We have always
been a pretty fair party man, and do
not intend to join any mon partisan
league" but we don't propose to trot
along to the crack of any particular
party lash.

There has been great deal of reck-
less driving within the city limits and
the police propose to make an example
of a number within very short time.
If you drive recklessly, don't complain
if you are summoned to appear before
"Hizzoner" and liquidate. Better this
than to kill somebody and without a
doubt if this reckless driving doesn't
cease, there's certain to be number
of funerals. The speed limit ought to
be raised from ten to fourteen miles
an hour, and then the ordinance en-
forced without fear or favor.

c incl Scarlett, who was RESPONSE
BILE for Minot's securing the beautiful
public drinking fountain from the Nat
ional Humane Alliance, a number of
years ago, dislikes the idea of the
fountain being removed to some side
street, where it's beauty will not be
fully appreciated. In letter address,
ed to the city commission, he declares
that he will agree to its removal from
Main street only with the understand
ing that it shall grace downtown
park to be provided by the city, other
wise, he says, it will go to Bismarck,
Valley City, or some other town that
will appreciate it. The fountain is a
beauty, weighs several tons and rep
resents value of about $4,000. Minot
cannot afford to lose this fountain.

Tuesday was Potato Day at the
Panama Exposition and Edgar Rich
ter, president Of the North Dakota
Press Association, superintended the
serving of $500 North Dakota grown
potatoes, not one weighing less than a
pound, at the North Dakota building.
The potatoes were carefully selected
from the vicinity of Larimore and the
G. N. hauled them free. Larimore fur
nished some choice butter to go with
them and "Bill" Holbein, secretary of
the commission, saw that there was
plenty of salt and pepper, mingling
with good fellowship. An immense
crowd visited the building during the
day and the sight of those potatoes
was good for their souls. The great
big smooth tubers had been slit down
their full length and a generous sup
ply of butter filled in the gap. Of
course this proved good advertising
for the state, for we actually grow
some of the finest potatoes in the
world, the crop often yielding two or
three hundred bushels per acre. We
understand that Fargo is arranging
for a corn day and Minot ought to fall
into line. A fine chance to do some
effective advertising.

The late William Rockhill Nelson,
editor of the Kansas City Star, spent
many years of his life in improving
the conditions for women on the farm.
He urged farmers to secure plenty Of
water, to build lakes and reservoirs on
their farms and to pipe water to their
barns, but said he did not think much
of the farmer who would pipe water
to his stock before he laid pipes to the
house to lessen the work of his wife.

asking US to urge the following mat
tiers:
Kill the gophers.
Clean up the yards, streets and al

Plant few trees.
Use paint on the buildings.
Be sure that the we'll is clean.
Get posted on potato diseases, and

Plant corn and alfalfa.
Seed fax early, and treat the seed.
Get that automobile license.
Roast the city dads until they will

served.
Each of the above headings have
furnished material for scores of COL

there is limit to publishers space.
The suggestions are timely and the OBJ
