Axle that has TWO Tirnken Bearings

the old-style semi-hoating and three

ASK him if that car of his uses battery igni-

YOU know, have discarded magnetos,

A Spring Medicine - Nearly every
person needs good blood purifying
medicine in the spring. This time of
year finds one dibilitated, tired out,

just these troubles B. D. c. Blood and

which have accumulated in the system

Fool legislation, is a term gene
rally applied to bills introduced by
members of state legislatures that
really amuont to nothing, are a mere
hinderance to the progress of the
actual work of our law makers, who
have only an allotted time in which to
do it, and a needless expense to
the state. An instance to the point
came to our notice the other day in
the legislative news from Bismarck,
when considerable time was taken up
in defeating a bill that had for its
purpose the establishing of a uniform
thickness of sleigh n But to
show that North Dakota law makers
are not alone in this serio-comic
legislative farce it may be just as
we'll to note that in Kansas a bill has
been introduced in the interests of
pure compilations, %forbidding the use
of powder, cosmetics, false hair,
etc., by women under forty years OF
age. The city OF Denver has a curfew
law for chickens and rabbits that,
however, has yet to secure it's final
passage. In Boston legislators are

doctor up the ailing laws, and time
will do the rest. It's said it may be
felony to write a check on air, or
peddle dope of any kind designed for
raising hair; the rate of lending
money, yes, has got to take a fall,
and then the tax commissioners may
have no job at all. The women will
not get the vote, the mention of
which hurts, because they're not pro-
gressive-they still are wearing
skirts; the capital is now on skids,
New Rockford wants it bad, and
should the thing start down the track
the whole slope would go mad. The
dealers too in real estate have got to
pay a fine, for hypnotizing fasteners
to come across the line; the banker
who writes 2 for 1 commits a really
crime, and editors who libel folks will
all be doing time. The membership
must be reduced, because it's far too
large, but will men row into the lake
and jump right off the barge? The
many laws that will be made, the
wrongs that will be righted, will be q
lasting monument to the men who are
far sighted; so reader, if your scheme
or fad is not now in a bill, just write
your member to wake up, and then he
surely will; but one things bound tc
happen, for which we mostly yearn,
and that's the day they draw their
pay, and motion to adjourn. -Binforc

THE ERADICATION OF GOPHERS

Last year twelve counties in this
state paid out nearly $50, 900 in
gopher bounties, yet but small i'm
preston was made on the gopher
population. 1t is estimated that the
gophers cause an annual loss of a mil
lion dollars in crops destroyed every
year, and that in dry years the amount
is almost double. In January, 1914,
the North Dakota experiment station
at Fargo and the U. S. biological
survey started an investigation to find
out the best method of gopher eradica-
ton, and one was found by which
the gophers could be killed at a cost
of two to four cents per acre. The
result of the investigation and the
formulassare given in Circular No. 4,
of the North Dakota experiment sta
ton at Fargo, and which will be
mailed to anyone asking for it. Oats
were found to be the best grain and
strychnine the best poison. The for
mula for preparing the poison is a
little complicated, so it should only
be attempted by those who are famll-
lar with this kind of work.

A GREAT AMERICAN VICTORY

People have been 80 interested in
the news of victories in Europe that
they have failed to notice the great
victory that has finally been won in
America; a victory that has thrown
back the forces which menaced our
industrial and financial well-being and
left our country free to pursue its
labors under fairly stable conditions.
Rumors have given place to ascertain
ed facts. There can be no question
of the completeness as well as of the
significance of the victory. The
financial pages of Monday give specific
information which justify the state
ment that the long campaign is closed
and now belongs to history. Foreign
exchange has dropped nearly to low
record figures. European purchases
in this country are so far in excess of
the sums which Americans want to
remit abroad to meet their obligations
that drafts on London are at a decided
discount. The trade situation is
changed. We have become, for the
time at least, the creditor nation.
Gold is beginning to come back slowly
into our country. The danger Of a
constant drain on our national supply
is ended. Europe is no longer clamor-
ing for gold, but for goods in greater
and greater quantities. All the fears
about the ability of u financial sys-
tenn to weather the storm are now
happily ended. The cotton situation
is better than anyone dared to hope at
the beginning of the a Since
Aug. LIST we have exported 4, 453, 429
bales, as against 6, 676, 29O for the
corresponding period of 1913. This
has served still further to strengthen
our international position, to say
nothing of encouraging sound optimism
throughout the south. Moreover, at
home the great business concerns Of
the country are finding it easier to
provide for their financial needs.
This ability of corporations to
finance themselves as is pointed out
or the financial pages, necessarily
WI improve their credit, enable them
70 meet the requirements of growth,
wtich has been retarded under the
adverse influences of recent years, and
to promote a spirit of progress in re-
gard to new protects When the
time m that the peaceful victories
that make for prosperity and the hap
psness of men are counted as interest
ing as those which mean the ruin and
Indebtedness of vast populations, the
triumph which the cool steadiness and
loyal spirit of American business has
won will rot be overlooked Chicago

In an editorial item, which appear
ed in our issue Of about two weeks
ago, mention was made of a report
to the effect that there was a
probability of the northern boundary
line of the United States being moved
a distance of twenty-five miles north
ward. The land to be included in this
strip of territory to be added to the
United States, extending from the
Pacific coast to the Great Lakes. The
general land office, the international
boundary commission and the state
department now join in authorizing a
denial. Britishers who own farms in
this region need not apply for Ameri-
can naturalization. The fact upon
which this story is based is that in
1909 the United States and Canada
provided for a re-survey of the inter-
national boundary line for the purpose
of ~re-setting the boundary posts,
which had gotten out of place or had
disappeared. The work is now under
way. The limits of the United States
are fixed at the forty-ninth parallel.
The survey will not bring any appre-
ciable number of Canadians into the
United States, or vice versa, although
it might possibly affect a few indivi-

A. Bill for an Act to Amend and Re-
enact Section 1876 Of the Compiled
Laws of 1913, Relating to the
Levying of Taxes in Special School

amended to read as follows:

education at the time of making it's
annual tax levy Cor the support of
schools shall also levy a sufficient
amount to pay the interest as the
same accrues on all bonds, issued I'M
der the provisions of this article, and
also to create a sinking fund for the
redemption of such bonds which it
shall levy and collect in addition to
the rate per cent authorized by the
provisions aforesaid for school pur-
poses, and such amount of funds when
paid into the treasury shall be and
remain a special fund for such pur-
pose only, and shall not be apportion-
ed in any other way, except as herein
after provided. At or before the is
suance of any bonds as herein provid-

provide for such annual levy to pay
the interest and to create such sink
ing fund, and such resolution shall re-

the interest thereon shall have been
paid; provided that the provisions of
this section shall also apply to pay
snents of all warrants issued for a
legal purpose and outstanding on
January 18th, 1915.
Whereas an emergency exists, in
that the money created by this levy is
needed for immediate use, therefore
CHS act should take effect Immediate
