woman and child in the state. In no
other state in the Union is the wealth
per capita so great as in North Dako-
ia, and in only a few cases are the
bank deposits so large. Almost al or
this immense sum is the direct product
of the farms of North Dakota, and a
very large proportion Of it is now
owned by the farmers of the state,
who have become depositors of large
sums. The banks report loans and
discounts of $100,00O,000, in round
numbers, which is a very satisfactory
showing, as it indicates that the mon
ey of the people of North Dakota is in
actual use in productive way, and is
not piled up in bank vaults, to add
nothing to the progress and develop
ment of the state.

The Governor has issued a procla-
nation declaring June 10 to "a Good
Roads Week in North Dakota. All
communities should bestir themselves
at least during this week to some real
concrete activity for the Improvement
of the roads in their vicinity. There
are bad spots, or perhaps bad strips
of road on every highway leading into
your town. Every time you pass over
it you think it disgraceful and declare
that it ought to be fixed up. Good
Roads Week presents the opportunity.
The Minot Auto Club will undoubtedly
do something extra special during this
week. The county dads and the town
ship officers will take hold of the work
with renewed energy. What wonder
full improvement could be made to our
roads by concerted action during this
one week. And then the work should
not stop at that. Those four new
graders bought by the county recently
should be in use every day during the
summer and the fifty road drags own
ed by the county should be used after
every rain.

COMING THROUGH CLEAN.

There is an expression, come to be
commonly used, and while perhaps it
is not as elegant as some, it is very
significant. intended to emphasize the
Importance of an individuals actions
in every day business as well as in a
campaign for office.
81 like to see a man come through
Clean" is the expression. 1t is dis
tinctly American; means something
and fits no man today better than
John H. Frame, republican candidate
for Governor of the state of North
Dakota. John H. Frame is coming
through Clean with his campaign. He
is making no idle promises, no boasts
of what he will do if elected, but a
simple, straight forward statement to
the effect that his record of years of
service for the people of North Da-
kota is his argument favoring their
again trusting him with the duties Of
an office requiring level head, execu-
tive ability and honest convictions in
what he deems right and just.
Men must admire the stand Mr..
Frame has taken all through this
campaign. He will not stand for any
attacks upon other candidates but be-
lieves in giving every voter the facts
to consider and then leave it with the
voter.
