the country"
We stood at street corner the
other day and heard that remark pass
ed by one of the brilliant" young
masculine striplings of our town as he
"bummed" the makings from friend.
The farmer, to be sure, was just a
farmer "out here in athe country" He
wore overal:s and drove his wagon m
to town, but at home his autOmoblle
rested snugly in the garage. He owns
enc of the most valuable farms in
this whole section Of the state. His
home life is ideal and his wife and
children have everything they desire.
His simple word is as good as his
check, and his check would be honored
for sum that might stagger you.
He is man, real man whom other
mer acknowledge to be man among
men, even if he is "just farmer out
here in the country"
But what of the STRIPPING; what Of
the dudelet?
He is just one of the numerous class
who always know everything and
never do anything, who amount to
nothing and are worth less. He is
Just a dudelet, and it is doubtful if he
ever attains to the dignity" of, being
a real dude.
Yes, he is "just farmer out in the
country" but he is our friend, he is
everybody's friend, and time may
prove him to be the "friend in need
of the poor, vapid, brainless dudelet.
We need thousand more just like
him-this man who is "just farmer
out here in the country and whom we
are proud to know as our friend.
Poor, deluded dudelet! May he never
be worse.

The Mouse river is falling very rap
idly. The water for several days has
been back within its banks and base
ments in the flooded districts are be-
ing pumped dry. There may be no
such a rise of water again during an
other twelve year period, but it is pos
sible that similar conditions will oc-
cur next spring. Practical remedial
measures should be taken at once to
obviate any damages that may arise
from another flood. Now that the wat
err has receded we are apt to forget the
trouble as quickly as possible for it
is not the most pleasant task in the
world to single the house when there
isn't cloud in sight. Prof. Chandler
of the University of North Dakota,
who is connected with the geological
survey, says that in his opinion the
trouble might be averted by widening
the channel of the river below the city,
and dredging the stream to make
a huge reservoir to take care of the
surplus water. State Engineer Bliss
believes that the trouble can best be
averted by building levees thru the
city. These levees might be used as
drive ways. Mouse river winds its
way thru the city for a distance of five
miles and this would be no small task.
Building dikes here and there would
help certain localities, but would not
save some of the sections of the city
from being flooded. Every citizen has
different remedy but we'd be willing
to leave it to an engineer who is sup
posed to know what he is talking
about.

R. A. Nestos, republican candidate
for the United States Senate, is going
to get flattering endorsement from
the voters of Ward county as well as
from other sections Of the state. Vhe
present Senatorial fight is most pecul-
lar. Senator McCumber has for many
years represented North Dakota in
the Senate and he should be the very
strongest candidate, but he has lived
in Washington for SO many years that
he has gotten out of touch with his
constituents "back home" Governor
Hanna, another candidate, has the adj
vantage Of very strong machine and
will make a better showing than Nc
Cumber. The Governor does not ex-
pect any support from the Nonparti-
san League, which will go largely to
McCumber and Nestos, with the Minot
man getting the bulk of this support
The Minot candidate probably stands
closer to the people than either Hanna
or McCumber. He has been in close
touch with them for years, knows
their needs and if elected will be able
to serve them well. tt has been pre-
dicted by many who appear to know
the situation we'll, that R. A. Nestos
will be North Dakota's next United
States Senator.

err. At that time the income of a
newspaper in stock country was such
monies as the stock owners paid for
running their stock brands in the local
paper. We never heard of publish
er getting rich at that. But Walt
kept at it until he became possessed
of cash enough to get out of town.
Since then he has published with
the same degree of energy and thoro-
ness the LaMoure Chronicle. Any pa
per he ran was a good one and any
thing he undertook was thoroly done.
He always was progressive and did
not have to be forced into an issue
he met it coming.
After a quarter of century of the
hardest kind of work this same Walt
was elected Commissioners of Insur-
ance of North Dakota. Needless to
say, he has made good. The state
never had more competent official.
And now he wants another term
and will get it, we believe. At least
he deserves it. If you fail to put a
cross opposite the name of w. c. Tay-
lor when you vote at the primaries on
June 18th you have failed to reward a
man that has worked for more than
twenty-five years for the best inter-
ests of the state.

GOOD ROADS FOR WARD co.

The Independent wants to commend
the board of county commissioners
very highly for the way that they are
going at it to give Ward county better
roads. The writer visited the point
along the Burlington road where rep
resentatives of three grader manufac-
turing companies are building three
miles of highway in a. contest. The
county will invest in four graders and
the work is being done at the sugges-
ton of the commissioners, to enable
them to better judge in the selection
of the machinery.
By actual test it is costing about
SS5 mile to grade the roads and
grade them we'll. The graders are to
be located at Ryder, Kenmare, Berth
old and Minot and the county will OPP
crate them a good portion of the time,
with the automobile funds. The grad
ers will be loaned to the various town.
ships. Experience shows that these
graders should not be operated with
horses. 1t takes a good big engine
with plenty of power and steady pull
to draw one of these graders properly.
With from nine to eleven rounds the
dirt is pulled to the center of the road.
leaving a fairly high crown, which
permits the water to run off into the
bitches at the side. The engine wheel
packs down the loose dirt and as soon
as the road is graded, it is fit for
travel. The commissioners have not
set any mark and do not know just
how many miles will be graded, but
they a1C going to keep everlastingly at
it and finish up the work well as they
go. It will be possible with the use Of
the four graders to build a couple
hundred miles Of good roads in the
county this season. Out in California,
they think nothing of spending ten
thousand dollars to the mile on road
building and when the work can be
done well in North Dakota for less
than 500 mile, this state should
soon have the best dirt roads in the
world. 1t will be perfect folly, how
ever, to build good roads unless they
are maintained. Ward county invest
ed in thirty-six road drags a year or
two ago. Some of them were used
well, but most of them have never
been used at all. These drags should
be used this season and we believe that
the various township road overseers
will see that this is just what hap
pens. Ward county is going at her
work of building good roads in the
right manner. New bridges are to be
built. Roads are being Strengthened.
Culverts will be placed here and there.
Grades will be made, hills will be cut
down and low places filled in. Road
drags will be used and now that six
out of ten Of our farmers own auto
mobiles, they will enjoy spinning over
the smooth highways just as much as
the Getty guys"
