If any of our readers are interested
attend the first annual stock show
which will be held in this city next
week, beginning July B. There is more
first class blooded stock in this patr
Of the state than the average person
realizes. Already entries have been
made for over 800 head Of pedigreed
stock and the big curling rink where
the show will be held will not be large
enough to accommodate all of the
stock. A few years ago our farmers
raised but little fullblooded stock, but
they have been buying the best sires
and females that could be found in the
states where stock raising has been
the rule for years. Today, we have
stock that will equal if not surpass
that Of some of the older states. Our
climate is just right for producing the
strong, healthy individual and our
farmers are growing wealthy from
this feature of their business.

habit of straightforward thinking
which means that his words will be
correlated with his deeds and trans
lated into fact. His past career is the
warrant for our belief that he will be
the unfaltering opponent of that sys-
tenn of invisible government which
finds expression in the domination Of
the party boss and the party machine
His past career is a guarantee that
whatever he says before election will
be made good by his acts after cleo
ton. Morally, his public record shows
him to be a man Of unbending integri-
ty; intellectually, it shows him to be a
man Of original and trained ability.
We have the alternative Of continuing
in office an administration which has
proved a lamentable failure, or of put
ting into Office an administration which
we have every reason to believe will
function with efficiency for the inter-
est and honor of all our people. l ear

NORTH DAKOTA CONDITIONS
EXCELLENT

North Dakota may rightfully be con-
sidered one of the most fortunate
states in the Union today. The returns
from the crop of last year have put the
state in splendid shape, and the pros
poets for this year are not exceeded
anywhere, and in few other states are
they equalled. All who have had OPP
portunity to inspect crops throughout
any considerable portion of the state
are agreed that the small grain crops
have never looked better than they do
now. The prospects for corn are not
so good, but small grains and hay bid
fair to yield fully as well as in the
record breaking year Of 1915.
In contrast are the conditions in
many other sections. In the east weeks
of rain have flooded fields, and in many
sections No seeding has been
done yet. Naturally in these sections
there will be no grain crop this year,
and the farmers must rely on late hay
and pasture for their income. The
California district was also unfortu-
nate in the early spring in being sub
jected to tremendous floods whose
force stripped hundreds of farms of
their soil down to the very rocks and
swept it into the ocean.
Taking it "by and large" the people
of North Dakota have every reason to
consider themselves fortunate.

HEROES OFF TO WAR

Never in the history of Minot has
such a tribute been paid to any Of oul
citizens as was the demonstration last
Sunday morning when Co. D departed
for the front. Hundreds of women and
stout hearted men were in tears as
the train pulled out with the very flow
er Of Minot's young manhood. They
have pledged their lives to the service
of our country. They have gone forth
to fight battles for humanity's sake
and to defend our country from attack
by semi-civilized race. The probab-
ilities are that some of them will not
return. They are going to a southern
cline where disease may claim as
many of them as the bullets of the
bloodthirsty savages. But the men,
bers of Co. D will give a good account
of themselves. AS one of the speakers
said when bidding them Godspeed and
farewell, they will fight like men but
they will fight like hell and will do
their part in bringing order out of
chaos in a country where the people
are unfit to govern themselves. Minot
is proud of the young men Of Co. D.
We want these young heroes who have
parted from their fathers, mothers.
sisters, brothers, wives and sweet
hearts, to know that they have earned
the eternal gratitude of every one of
our citizens. We want them to know
that we are back Of them and that
there are hundreds Of others who are
ready to answer their country's call
whenever the time may come.

HUMANITY A CRIME"

Although conditions in Mexico are
most deplorable, the savages crazed
by the thirst for blood are advocating
the most horrible things. Read the fol
lowing extract from lie Reforma, a
semi-official paper published at Saltil-
10:
"Above all, do not forget that in
time of national need humanity is a
crime and frightfulness a virtue. Pull
out the eyes, snatch out the hearts
tear open the breasts, drink-if you
can-the blood in skulls Of invaders
from the cities of Yankee land"
And that is just what the bloodthir-
sty savages will do if they get the op-
portunity. 1t is now up to the United

This is the year Of all years when
true patriots should celebrate the
Fourth. The celebration at Minot this
year will be attended by thousands.
There will be many unusual attrac-
tons as the business men of Minot
have raised $4,000 for the sports and
amusements. Practically every at
traction in the city that day will be
free. Minot is anxious for you to be
her guest and we will do all that is in
our power to make the day one to look
back to with pleasant memories. Come
to Minot for the Fourth and mingle
with the greatest crowd in this city's
history.

Grain Makes Splendid Growth

The small grains nave maue "on-
derful growth during the past ten
days, the warm weather and the very
heavy rains bringing the grain which
had appeared little backward out in
splendid shape. During the rains of
last week 1.8 inches fell and practical
ly all of it soaked into the ground
right where it first dropped. During
the rain Wednesday morning .35 of an
inch fell. The pastures all look fine
and the timothy and bromus fields will
produce heavily. Rye, which is thin
on the ground, is growing rapidly and
will soon start filling.

publican politics. His letter which fol-
