NORTH DAKOTA WILL HAVE ITS
T.ATJCH

Williston Herald: Members of the
Minnesota State horticultural society
are said to have had a good laugh at
Horace Greeley the other day during
a meeting at Minneapolis. It was Hor-
ace who was credited with having said
that it was waste of time to try to
grow apples in Minnesota. If he could
know that this neighboring state now
produces about half million dollars
worth Of saleable apples perhaps he
would enjoy the laugh on himself.
Men with less license to make pre-
dictions than a prophet so wise as
Horace Greeley are still spreading
the delusion that not much but wheat
will grow in North Dakota. If they
could live another fifty years or even
half that time they would be able to
enjoy as good a laugh on themselves
as the apple growers had at Horace
Greeley. Yes, North Dakota can grow
apples, too.

A bill prohibiting the transmission
of liquor advertisements by mail to
anyone except licensed liquor dealers
or agents, was favorably reported by
the house postoffice committee at
Washington. 1t is aimed at the so
called mail order liquor business in
dry territory. In North Dakota and
a number of other dry states it has
been unlawful for years for newspa-
pers to publish liquor advertisements,
yet the mails have been filled with
tempting literature pertaining to
Green River and other favorite brands.
The government has no more right to
carry such advertisements than the
have to print them.

The legislature will meet next week.
Members are on their way to the Cap
itol city today. They will be exceed
ingly busy with caucuses and the work
of selecting their speaker will occupy
the attention of the members of the
house. Fraser from Garrison, a man
who has served several terms in the
legislature, is mentioned for this po-
sition. Anthony Walton and H. R.
Wood from this district are also spok-
en- of very favorably. Mr.. Wood is one
of the youngest members Of the house,
but the Independent understands that
he is showing considerable strength.
He's a good, bright young man and if
selected would soon become familiar
with the work, handling the affairs in
a creditable manner. Here's hoping
the speakership falls on the shoulders
of one Of the members from the 10th.

One of the best evidences Of pros
perity throughout the state is the fact
that very seldom does one see mort
gage foreclosure notice published. A
few years ago the newspapers were
filled with these notices while today
they are nearly as scarce as contest
notices and notices of final proof. In
Ward county, a few years ago, one
employee was kept busy at the sher-
ifs office attending to matters per-
tanning to the foreclosure Of mort
cages. Today there is scarcely any
work of this nature. The farmers and
other businessmen Of the state have
either been able to pay up their mort
cages or they are whiting them

While one sees a good deal in the
newspapers about designations from
the various military companies sta
toned along the Mexican border, we
have not yet heard a "peep" out Of
the North Dakota boys. They are
standing "pat" just as all North Da-
kotans do. They are doing their work
heroically. They left their good homes
their families and gave up good posi-
tons to work for their Uncle Samuel
for 60 cents a day, but they haven't
said word. The folks back home are
proud of them and appreciate their
services.

Before another issue of the Indepen-
dent has reached it's readers, the old
year will have closed and the new one
will have begun. The mistakes, the
successes, the trials, the sorrows and
the joys of the closing year will be-
long to the past, and before us will
stretch the great field of the New
Year, unbroken and untrodden, await
ing the impress to be made by man.
The closing year has been marked in
North Dakota by progress and
achievement. With the products of
our fields decreased in volume from
the high level touched in the proceed
ing year, the value of those products
has increased, and in many localities
the aggregate values have far ex-
ceeded those of former years. Our
people have been prosperous. Our COM
mercial and financial institutions are
sound. Of business failures we have
had practically none. New enterprises
have been projected, and some of these
which promise best for the future pro-
tc be found evidences of the spirit of
alton or well under way. There has
been evidence of deep interest in all
our social relations. Everywhere are
to be found evidences Of the spirit Of
progress.
Our people are one people. Our in
terests are so intertwined that they
cannot be separated North Dakota
must progress as one or there can be
no true progress. And in the conf
dent hope that we may all work to-
gether to make this a state of happy
homes and prosperous people, the In
dependent wishes all its readers a
Happy New Year.

The National government would set
a good example for the country at
large if it decided to make the District
of Columbia dry. Formerly saloons
were run in the basement of the capt.
toll. These have been abolished. Since
the government has absolute control
over the District of Columbia, if the
saloons in the capitol are not good for
the governors of the district they GER
tainly are not good for the rest Of the
people of the District.

HARD TO BALANCE.

A Minot physician tells q story OF q
patient whom he was treating for
stomach trouble. The doctor left a
large brown pill on the medicine table
beside the bed one evening and said:
II want you to try this pill tonight
at bedtime. It's new treatment and
if you retain it on your stomach it
ought to cure you."
The next day the doctor stopped at
the patients bedside.
"Did you manage to retain the pill
on your stomach ?" he asked eagerly.
"Well, the pill was all right" the
patient said, "as long as kept awake,
but every time fell asleep it rolled
off,"
