APPLE CREEK FOLKS WANT
CATTLE PENNED IN WINTER

Apple creek folk are opposed to
having herds run wild over their win
ter rye, alfalfa and other cold-weather
crops, and they yesterday presented
to the county board a petition pray
ing that action be taken to restrain
the use of the open winter range in
Burleigh county. The commission
dopted a resolution to this effect and
decided to pass the buck to the peo-
rle at the fall election. Small bal
lots containing the resolution will be
printed, and those interested will
have an opportunity to vote on the
question in November. The open
range is said to be as popular in some
sections of the county as it is unpop-
ular in others.

lowed, in which fists gave way to re-
volvers. Levings was the first to fall

open door Of the car, and Campbell
fell to the floor of the car with four
bullets in his body. The negroes are
said to have then attacked Sitzell and
beaten him unconscious.
Nine Men Are Held.

white men have identified certain OF
the negroes as among those who parti
cipated in the battle.

FAvoRs STATE DRAG LAW;
COUNTY ROADS NEED IT
J. H. Dodge, federal road expert, ia
vors a state drag law or some provi-
sion which will make available more
money for the dragging of county
roads. He suggests that legislation
to this effect should be considered at
the next session, as dragging is the
one thing which North Dakota roads
stand most in need of.

The U. S. public health service said
that $3.50 a year was in 1915 the alb

bare efficiency. How about 1916,
when the standard of living is up so
per cent?

IMMORTALITY AND THE ST

IMMORTALITY AND THE STAGE.
i have not been a subscriber to
The Day Book long, but I like the
editorials and news very much, even
though do not always agree with
you. Your articles SAVIOR of SINGER
ity and I admire them. A letter
written by Jas. o. Boy, in which he
writes of the movies" and "vaUde-
vile" as they are, certainly hits the
nail on the head. The favOTite
themes of the movies are the eternal
triangle, domestic infeIicity, cIandes-
tine appointments, robbery and cab
aret scenes, or some other form of
crime.
The vaUdeviIles have much nudity
displayed under the name Of art,
which is only a sickening prostitu-
ton of the feminine form. Chorus
girls do not lend sufficient enchant-
ment at a distance on the stage, so
they are paraded in scant and ilmy
costumes through the aisles. The bur-
lesgUes are programs masteFfully ar
ranged for the purpose of making
repeated strong appeal to sex and
encouraging intOxication and gam
bling by suggesting them. The CO.
medians deal in vulgar jokes and are
in their makeup horrible abortions

SUPPLY AND DEMAND.-Statis-
tics indicate that this is the golden
age. There has never been such a
time in the history of the United
States where there has been such
supply and demand as at the present
time.
If this should continue for a great
length of time it would result in a
very disastrous calamity. It is not
a question of justice or what is right;
it's what can be determined. 1t
makes no difference what the times
may be. Under the system Of profit
it makes the toiler great burden
bearer, and, on the other hand, the
reaper of the toiler enjoys all the
good lUxuries of life and makes his
heaven right here on earth. - VIM.

In fact, the stage which was in
tended to recreate has become for
the most part laboratory of social
reform or a pandering to Iewdness.
Is it any wonder that illegitimacy
is on the increase when an 'illegiti-
mate" mother is held up as a heroine
on the stage and nothing is too
sacred to be pictured on the screen?
We need less of common clay"
and more of the uncommon clay if
society is to progress. Is it any won

alarming degree. The decadence of

MUST QUIT EATING
CROP BEFORE MADE
South Must Stop Time-Honored sys-
tenn OF Economic Suicide,
Says n. G. Hastings

Atlanta, -Ga.-(Special. 1.-THE peo-
pie Of the south must quit eating their
cotton or other so-called cash crop
before it is made If they ever expect
to accumulate wealth and have the
comforts and Injuries of life due
them," says H. G. Hastings, agricul-
tural vice president OF the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, and a fore
most authority on farm conditions in
the southeast.
1.-THE south must stop forever its
time-honored system of economic sui
eide" says Mr.. Hastings. Advance
steps were made last year toward a
condition of farm independence in the
Cotton Belt. They were forced steps,
it is true, but they marked an advance
just the same, and more bread and
meat, more grain, forage and other
food and feed stuffs were made in
1915 than ever before, with the result
there are tens of thousands Of farm
ers better off than in past years,
despite short crops and business de-
preston.
with higher cotton prices, it is
going to be a great temptation to
drop back into the old habit of put
ting cotton, or whatever other cash
crop one may be growing, in pawn
for bread and meat. We are suffer
ing today from the old system fore
ed on us jy conditions following the
Civil war, necessary then, but unnec-
essary now.
Year after year we have stayed in
the same old rut as matter of habit,
eating our crops, so to speak, before
they were made, a financially suicidal
policy for the farmer, each year put
ting his nose a little closer to the
credit grindstone.
IF the south had not been so rich
in natural resources, this system
would have bankrupted us long ago.
What's the answer? 1t Is home pro-
duction by each farmer Of every dol
lars worth of food and grain supplies
needed on his farm that it is posi-
BILE to grow on his own acres. This
means good big home gardens; hogs,
chickens, cows and something to feed
them on through the year"
