So the People May Know

The policy of this organization is to tell the public
about its affairs
We believe the public has right to know how we
operate and what we do with the money we collect
In line with our general policy of frank and open
publicity this is of many of plain talks with the
public about the telephone business it affects the
ployer, the employe and the tax payer.
The Bell System is big tax payer, contributing
$110 600 in taxes each year, and want to talk
frankly with other tax payers.
We interested in better schools cleaner streets
and beautiful parks that taxes and yours help
provide. y
ABOUT "wATERED STOCK"

that there is any water in Bell Telephone stock
That dollar has been actually invested for every dol
lars worth of stock that has been issued has been proved
beyond all doubt by hundreds of impartial investga-

is essential to meet extraordinary expenditures such

EMPLOYEES AS STOCKHOLDERS

That money invested in the Bell Telephone System is
considered safe and that the is well managed
may be pretty well demonstrated by the fact that

ABOUT DIVIDENDS"

In Nebraska the Bell Company honest capaliza-
ton is earning less than an per cent dividend,
The Bell System a nationwide institution has not
paid more than an8 per cent dividend for many years
The ability to obtain money for investment in any
enterprise depends upon the confidence that people have
that the money will be safe in it and that reasonable d
dends will be paid promptly.
In any business money is as necessary as employees
Without capital there be employment of labor.
Without employment of labor the whole community
suffers.
That is the reason the Bell Company has MI % every
effort to pay fair dividends believing that it for the
best interests of the whole public.
In any business where the profits are as small as in
the telephone Industry money for improvements
not be obtained out of profits The only source of reve
is from having money invested and the investment
of money will not be made without reasonable expectation

AN ABUSED WORD

No word has been more abused and
misunderstood than the word Social
lst." The Socialist is not an anarch-
list; they are opposed in theory and
practice. The Socialist does not pro-
pose to destroy the family, abolish re-
llglon or divide up property, nor does
ne seek to carry out his ideas by riot
and bloodshed. In a single phrase.
socialism means public ownership of
the means of production and working
class control of the government. a
chance to work for all who will. and
to all workers the full value of their
product. The typical Socialist is a
rather quiet and thoughtful working
man, serene in time of trouble and
self-contained in the day of victory.
He realizes that the world will move
on very well after he is dead, but re-
members that while he lives it is his
business to help the world move. He
considers himself an ally of the eter-
nal laws of nature and is proud to do

ONE-EYED REFORMS

An auctioneer at horse market
was disposing of a number of equine
has-beens.
Gentlemen, I can't lie about the
horse; he is blind in one eye," he con-
fidently advised
The horse was soon knocked down
to citizen, who had been greatly
struck by the auctioneer's honesty,
and after paying for the horse he said:
you were honest enough to tell me
that this animal was blind in one eve.
Is there any other defect?"
Eyes, sir; there is. He is also blind
in the other eye," was the prompt re-
ply.
The political reformer tells the dear
people that the system has serious
defects that need to be remedied. His
party has the specific remedy.
He tells only a part of the truth.
The Socialist tells the whole truth.
He shows that the whole carcass of
the ancient social equine is full of
defects and hopelessly diseased.
It's about time the workers quit be-
ing fooled by having one-eyed political
thugs palmed off on them-California

@. Being a subscriber TO The North

would answer the following: The
Farmers Educational and Cooperative
Union is thinking of building a ware
house. Can they issue warehouse re-
ceipts lin small denominations, one
dollar up to five) for the payment of
wages and materials and have them
transferable so they could be used as
a medium Of exchange between our
selves and finally be cancelled in pay
ment of warehouse dues, practically
making the warehouse pay for itself?
u. n. M.
A. There is absolutely nothing to
prevent the plan from working out
as you plan, except the failure of the
Farmers Union to carry it out 1t is a
very good idea and should be carried
out. A whole lot will depend upon
the willingness of people to accept
them. Among the members of the
union, however, there should be no
question about that.

waaimn]p lands IN Beltrami county.

swamp lands in Beltrami county.
Since that time the State has sold
1902 acres. There are approximate
ly 100 farms in this county and the
population in 1914 was 23,34O people.
A great deal of the low lands in the
northern part of the county have been
reclaimed by drainage and have been
made into productive farms. The
500 miles of county and judicial
bitches already built have directly
benefited S94,572 acres of land, which
have been of inestimable value to the
development of this county.
Costs to Clear Land.
The last Legislature submitted a
constitutional amendment which will
be amendment No. 1. 1t provides
that the Legislature may set aside a
quarter of a million dollars out of
our school fund for the purpose of
improving State Lands. It was COM
paratively easy years ago for a farmer
who had his filing fee and a few
dollars in his pocket, to get a start
when he homesteaded the prairie
lands of western and northwestern
Minnesota. 1t cost him but a few
dollars to turn the sod. But to clear
northern Minnesota stump lands
costs a great deal. It might be esti-
mated that the cost of clearing these
lands is anywhere from $40 to $50
per acre. These lands must be clear
ed before man can get returns from
his land. If the constitutional
amendment referred to passes the
State might improve three four Or
five acres on each forty, eighty or
one hundred sixty acre tract, making
it possible for home-maker to get
returns from his lands forthwith.
Anyone who believes in developing
Minnesota should vote for it. About
fifty per cent of the State lands is
now under the plow and a great por-
ton of the balance of it is cutover
lands. The State can do it's part by
making its new lands habitable to
the poor settler. If you fail to vote
for this amendment you vote against

HAS TWENTY-THREE
-, FARMERS ri vi / ] B | !! CLUBS
Meetings Are Held Once Month At
Farm Homes of Members; For
500 Better Farming
Encourage Blooded Cattle Raising;
Sell Land Direct to Settler; Estab-
lish Creameries and Telephone.

Beltrami County has twenty-three
we'll organized Farmers Clubs, COM
prising an average membership of
forty-five members. Meetings are
held once each month at the farm
homes of their respective members.
These meetings are in the nature Of
social family gatherings, where the
farmers and their families meet to
"wine and dine" discuss current farm
topics, arrange short programs and
cooperate for the betterment Of farm
and town conditions in general.
Much Is Accomplished.
Among the more important things
accomplished may be included uni
form crop raising, establishing of
creameries, telephone lines, road con-
struction and improvements, coop
erative dairying, cattle raising and
shipping.
Recently one of the progressive
clubs decide to sell farm lands di-
rect from owner to settler.
Through the efforts Of these clubs,
farmers have been shown the advant-
age of raising similar varieties of
potatoes. At present there are about
five or six varieties of potatoes grown
as against twenty or more several
years ago. The same is true of corn,
oats, wheat and other crops.
Great Dairying Country.
This may also be said of cattle
raising. In many communities club
bulls are owned and farmers en-
couraged to raise the same kind Of
stock The "scrub" herds are fast
being eliminated and replaced by
blooded cattle, with view to making
this the best and most talked of dairy
country in the United States. The
statement made by Prof. w. M. Hayes,
assistant secretary of agriculture at
Washington, that this was destined to
be the greatest dairying country of
the world, is becoming more and
more evident
Better Markets Secured.
Much has also been accomplished
by the clubs in creating better mar
ket conditions for the farmer in the
towns and villages of this county.
Especially is this true of Bemidji, in
which city the merchants regularly
visit with the farmers at these club
meetings and plan together the best
policy to pursue by all. In this man

(By J. A. 0. Preus.)
State Auditor,

The State of Minnesota stands
paramount among the states of the
northwest, not alone because of her
unusual natural resources, but in her
conservation of these natural re-
sources for posterity.
Since her admittance into state
hood little over half centuary ago,
Minnesota has led in some economic
or industrial endeavor; and she has
long been considered as the "bread
and butter" State of the Union.
Farmers Prosperous
Last year she produced 100000
bushels of wheat, 32,000,000 bushels
of barley, in which she was the first
in the Union, 785,000,000 bushels Of
oats and 95,OOO,0O0 bushels Of corn.
Our farmers had over $60,O00,0O0
worth Of farm machinery and $170,-
100000 worth of live stock. We
have 10000 farmers in the State
and they each have a farm of the
average value of $4,000. This does
not indicate poverty but prosperity
among our farmers.
State is Fortunate.
The State has been fortunate in
being well governed. In 1857, Sec
lions 16 and SO of the public domain
of the State were set asaide by the
Federal Government for the State of
Minnesota, the proceeds of the sales
of which were to be turned into a
school fund. All swamp lands in
the State we're also coded to the State
and most of the proceeds of these
The school fund of the state, which
guarantees to our children a liberal
education, now consists of more than
100000, invested in other State
bonds, county and municipal bonds
of our own State, also contracts.
These bear interest and the proceeds
therefrom are being expended for
education purposes only and cannot
be diverted under the provisions of
our Constitution. Beltrami county
received from the school fund, appor-
toned March 1 and October 1, 1915,
$25,674.1O This does not embrace
the entire school fund. The future
royalties that the State will receive,
all of which goes into the various
educational funds, will amount to

Beltrami county holds the destinc-
ton of possessing larger number
of Boys and Girls clubs than any
other county in the State of Mime

tions in the rural districts of the
county and 1 have active members.
Potato growing, canning and other
contests have been held by the clubs.
