and premises explained the reason.
The house was implanted, ugly and
unsanitary. The yard was common
litter, and the barn lot rubbish heap
of weeds, rotting straw piles, rusty
machinery and general waste. His
children had been sent to the state un-
iversity and learned for the first time
in their lives that bathtub is not a
luxury but primary necessity for a
a great many folks. The girls found
out that the best kind Of farm life
was not a bookless, common round of
unrelieved drudgery. So they educat-
ed themselves cityward, by a habit Of
mind, from what they learned and
saw. To be sure there are many COM
munities, even sections, where this
condition does not prevail, but, taking
the nation over, there is a startling
prevalence of this backward social
life. A progressive farmer recently
said that he thought the average farm
needed a bathtub, a good sink, laun-
dry room, an ice box, a heating and
lighting plant and some books just as
much as it needed an automobile.
progress on the farm is all right, "
he said, "but the trouble with many a
farmer is that he is grabbing progress
by the tail instead of the halter."-

ONE HOME PRODUCT.

A Minnesota editor that may have
visited the Pacific coast let go the
following: The California man gets
up at the alarm of a Connecticut
clock, buttons his Chicago suspenders
on Detroit overalls, washes his face
with Cincinnati soap in Pennsylvania
pan, sits down to a Grand Rapids ia
BILE, eats Kansas City meat with Min
nesota flour, cooked with Indiana lard
or St. Louis stove, puts a New York
bride on Wyoming broncho, fed with
Iowa corn, plows five acre farm COW
cred by an Ohio mortgage, with a
Chattanooga plow; when bed time
comes he reads a chapter from BIZ
BILE printed in Boston, says prayer
written in Jerusalem, crawls under a
blanket made in New Jersey, only to
be kept awake by sand fleas, the only
home product on his place. Moral:

been threshed. The days are growing
shorter and the weather is gradually
growing cooler. 1t is estimated that
nearly half of the men who came to
this part of the state to assist in
threshing, have departed for other
states and some of the threshing out
fits that have started up are running
with small crews. Had the farmers
known just what kind of a season we
were going to have a month ago, a
large part Of the grain could have
been stacked, for you can stack grain
when it is too damp to thresh. The
Independent learns that good many
of the farmers are going to start
stacking just as soon as possible and
save all of the grain they possibly
can. With the finest crop ever grown
in North Dakota, it would be a shame
to see it go to waste. Wheat left out
in the shocks all winter, will be worth
little in the spring, so it behooves
everyone to exercise the utmost ener-
gy in saving the crop. Many farmers
will assist their neighbors in hopes
that their turn will come later, but
someone is certain to be caught, it is
generally predicted.

The Non-Partisan Leader, the news
paper of mystery, has made it's ap-
pearance. This is the paper that was
promised to those who joined the Non
Partisan League last spring, when
they either paid the six dollars men,
bership, or gave their checks, dated
ahead to Oct. for that ssmount. 1t
is said that $4,000 copies Of the first
issue were printed. The editor is H
E. Behrens and if he does all that he
promises to do, the paper alone will be
worth the six plunks. The paper tells
why the Non-Partisan League was or
gained and settled the question in one
short paragraph, viz: "The Non-Par-
tisan League has no idea of starting
new party; it seeks only to secure
union and organized effort that the
farmers may secure their just share
of representation in the affairs of the
government" The editor promises to
make the gang dodge and duck, hedge
and flip-fop.

With the biggest wheat crop on rec
ord, many of our largest grain grow.
ing farmers turn envious eyes toward
the contented farmer who has few
nice steers and hogs which he can fit
for market with whatever damaged
grain he may have and this low grade
grain will in this way return him a
better price than the No. grain he
markets direct. 1t has been demon
strated on farms here in the Powers
Lake country that with hogs selling at
six cents pound on foot barley is
worth 80 cents per bushel as hog
feed, while No. 3 wheat at $1.02 per
bushel can be fed at a profit, and
some farmers claim there is more pro-
fit in feeding their grain to steers
than to hogs at the present price for
good steers. Be that as it may, the
farmer who markets his grain via
the live stock route has a big advan-
tage over the one who sells it at the
elevator, and he doesn't worry about
grade or dockage.-Powers Lake Echo.

NORTH DAKOTA LEADS THE u. S.

NORTH DAKOTA LEADS THE U. S
North Dakota leads the United
States in composite conditions of all
agricultural crops. This information
is given out by the National govern
ment. No other state in the Union
surpasses North Dakota in point of
all crop conditions and productions.
North Dakota's crop scored 1865
per cent with 100 per cent as the av-
erage. Its nearest competitor is Ok
lahoma with an average of 1861 per
cent.
Here is how the first five states of
the Union rank: North Dakota, 1865;
Oklahoma, 1861; Kansas, l24.5; South
Dakota, 1921; Nebraska, 1900.
North Dakota raised 100000 more
bushels of wheat than any other state
in the Union.
In the production of oats, that state
ranks fifth with an estimated yield of
85,962O00 bushels. The barley crop
captures third place with a yield of
only little less than 100000 bushels
of CALIFORNIA; yield, the banner bar
ley state of the Union.
Almost half the flax seed raised in
the United States is produced in this
state. Of the 18,171,0OO bushels esti-
mated for this year in the nation,
North Dakota will furnish 8,O23.
If ever any community had reason
to invite people to come and enjoy
prosperity, North Dakota certainly
has In the words of the boy on the
street, owe are there with the goods"

Appreciation and Promotion. Practi-
cally every newspaper in the state will
issue special edition that week.
Thousands of extra copies will be
printed to be sent to friends in less
favored states. Special matter con-
corning the resources and possibilities

coal mining industry, dairying, stock
raising, gardening and agricultural
pursuits in their various phases will
all be depicted and appropriate pic
lures will be shown. Our pleasant and
healthful climate, our bright, sunny
skies, the fresh air of our prairies, our
ruddy, rosy checked healthy children,
our excellent schools-these and many
other things will be given considerable
attention. There is room for countless
thousands of people on our broad, fer
tile prairies, the virgin soil going to
waste for lack of cultivation. Mil
lions of tons of nutritious native
grass, which is now allowed to 60 back
to it's elements, should be fattening
countless scores of cattle. It's about
time that some concerted action is
taken to call attention to all these
things, of the chattel slaves of the
east who can never hope to become
owners of land themselves unless they
come west where there is still plenty
of it at a moderate price. There are
more than 400 newspapers in North
Dakota. If they average thousand
extra copies for Booster Week, our
papers should find their way into
nearly half a million homes, and much
good will result.

We notice a great many papers Of
the state running advertisements of
fake doctors. There are many ways
of looking at the proposition, but we
believe that in the final analysis, it is
better to leave this class of advertis-
ing out. The travelling doctors would
not have to travel to get business, if
they were as good as the resident
physicians, and no newspaper can af-
ford to recommend thru the accept
ance of advertising, that it's readers
entrust their lives to the practice of
a physician who has not fully demon
strated his ability. When we accept
such advertising, we O. K. it as well
as the man who has promised to pay
for it. Of course, we are all out for
business, and such advertising is ap-
parently legitimate, but if the home

Farmers coming in from the coun-
try southwest of Minot, tell US that
the Harrison township grade, just at
the edge of the city, is in most de-
plorable condition. There are i'm
mense ruts and after a rain the road
becomes next to impossible. It should
be made smooth and few loads of
gravel would soon put it in first class
condition. We believe that for $780,
fine road can be built over this
grade and if Harrison township does
not care to expend this amount of
money, Minot merchants ought to see
that the work is done, even if they
have to pay for it out of their own
pockets. We'd be willing to sub

customers can see what they are get

An Indian Territory editor says it is
more fun to see a man read puff
about himself in a newspaper than to
see fat man slip on banana peel.
The minded man reads it over
seven or eight times and then goes
around and begs all the copies he can.
The kind hearted goes home and reads
it to his wife and then goes around to
the office and pays what he owes. The
successful business man who adver-
tises regularly and makes money by it,
Immediately starts out to find the edi-
tor and then the two walk down the

It's value lies in the fact that 1t
eliminates fully half of the recoil OF
the rifle from the action of the gases
in its chambers, and it gives the Off.
GERS much better control over the fire,
because of the lessened noise of the
rifles. 1t cuts down the roar of the

at the firing line is much reduced, and
the commands of the officers can be

A aElvInnn MaIady.

The doctors are puzzled concerning
strange malady that has broken out
at more than one aeroplane works. and
has in one case ended fatally. The
malady in some respects resembles
yellow jaundice, and it is, rightly or
wrongly, attributed to contact with an
aeroplane dope" or to inhaling its
odor.
Further particulars need not at the
moment be indicated, but it has been
suggested that the source of the trou'
BILE may be amyl acetate. which is
used as dope" solvent. Some mys-
terry attaches to the affair, the precise
nature of the malady not having yet
been determined, in spite of close ex-
animation and analysis; and, of course,
until success is attained in this direc-
ton no satisfactory precautions or
remedy can be devised.
