REAL WAR DOGS

The War Dog society, an institution
established by a group of thoughtful
Parisians, has just given public dem.
onstration of how it trains the friend
OF man to be most helpful and valu-
able auxiliary to the front.
The society always has 400 dogs in
training, and has sent several thou.
sands to the firing line. Many of them
are used exclusively for ambulance
work, but others are taught all sorts Of
means of rendering service in the
trenches, in carrying messages and in
accompanying men on outpost duty.
Not the last remarkable of the dogs
That have passed through the instruc-
tors hands Is fox terrier known as
Iurk. BY reason of their color and
natural impulsiveness, terriers are
never selected for war work. This one
belongs to a house, the garden Of
which overlooks the field in which the
war dogs were given their instruction.

their performances, and they excited

TIE STATE PURE SEED LIST
(By H. L. Colley, State Seed Com.
missiOner,)

missioner.)
The state pure seed law authorizes
the botanist and state seed commits.
slOners to investigate the quality of
the seeds grown by any grower in the
state of North Dakota and when he
has satisfied himself as to the quality
to make list of the names of such
growers and show the amount of seed
which they have on hand as seed for
sale for sowing purposes. This list is
sent to any person who wishes to buy
such seeds. This, in theory, should aid
Wholesale seed houses in the state 10
procure good stock of seed and should
aid any other buyers or growers to 10.
cate good seed.
The office at the pure seed labo.
ratory has no interest in the price for
which the seeds are bought and sold
That rests with the grower and the
buyer of the seed. From the above
statement, it must have grown seed OF
high quality submit it to the labo
ratory for purity and termination
tests and furnish the facts regarding
the amount on hand at an early date
etc., the state seed commissions,
cannot make list of such seeds early
enough in the season to be of great
advantage to the grower or to the man
who wishes to buy for planting pur
poses or for sale and further distri
button.
In past years the laboratory has
listed something over hundred thous
and bushels of good seed each yeal
and we have had many letters from
the growers, indicating their success.
in selling through the list and many
congratulatory letters from buyers re
garding the system. It is thus eviden,
that the laboratory, in association with
its summer field inspection, is workine
out valuable system of finding good
home grown seed.
l would particularly call attention
of the growers that they should senG
in their seeds as early as possible il
order to have them tested and listed
II they want them specially certified
then they should study the law and
submit them accordingly. There is
always a much greater call for good
seeds on the part Of seedmen and
other growers than we have been able
to supply by the list.

HOW TO MAKE A
SMALL FARM PAY

Madison, Wis, Jan. Allow to
Make a Small Farm Pay" is the sub
ject of a bulletin issued for the month
of January by the Wisconsin Bankers
association, 10000 copies Of which are
being distributed among the farmers
of the state. F. F. Showers of Wal
worth county, a man who taught
school for % years and then went
farming on 40-acre tract, tells his
experiences. He summarizes his ad-
vice in five short sentences as fol-
lows:
Love and enjoy you rwork.
Study your fields to know their
weaknesses and possibilities.
Harvest your crop so that you will
receive the largest return.
Give your herds a chance.
Produce, care for and raise only
the BEST"
Mr.. Showers says that the farmer
on a small farm must utilize all the
corners of the farm and that the IRE
turns from some fields on a small
farm will be equal to the wastes up.
on many large fields"
He tells how he grew alfalfa on his
farm during the past year and after
paying taxes, the interest on his in.
vestment, the cost of establishing a
stand and the expense of putting up
the hay, he figures that he had near.
ly $1,000 on each acre Of alfalfa as
profit.
IF you are thinking of joining the
union SO that you will have but an
eight or ten-hour working day." de.
clares Mr. Showers, do not think Of
trying to operate small farm. To
succeed in farming you must so en-.
Joy your work that it becomes a
pleasure instead Of a task"
Speaking of his cows, Mr.. Showers
says that soft bed and gentle,
kindly word for the cows, increases
the dividends from the milk pals.

AUToMCBILING DANGERS W
GRADUALLY DECREASlNG

Washington, Jan. 3.--Is the deadli-
ness Of the automobile increasing or
decreasing? This question seems to-
be answered in very conclusive man
ner by the bureau of the census, In
making public some preliminary NOR
tally statistics for the year 1914,
which indicate that during the five
years from 1909 to 1914 the number of
automobiles in use in the United
States increased more than twice as
rapidly as the number of fatalities
caused by them. ~
At the close of 1909, according to|
figures compiled by the national auto
mobile chamber of commerce, of New
York city, from state registration re.
ports, due allowance being made for
duplicate registrations, the number OF
automobiles in use in the, United
States was approximately 100000; by
the close of 1913 it had risen to 1,270,'
900; and a year later, at the end OF
1914, it was 1,750,000.
In the meantime the number of
deaths due to automobile accidents
and injuries increased from 632 in the
death-registration area in 1909, con.
tanning Sc per cent of the population
of the United States, to 1923 in the
same area in 1914; and the increase
from 1918 to- 1914, for the registration
area as constituted in 1913, then con-
tanning IS per cent of the population
Of the country, was from 2,4SS to
2,795.
Thus five-year increase of IT'S per
cent-accepting as reliable the figures
compiled by the national automobile
chamber of cOmmerce-in number of
machines has been accompanied by an
increase of 315 per cent in automobile
fatalities; and one-year increase of
80 per cent in number of machines
has been accompanied by an increase
of IL per cent in fatalities.
Perhaps a more reliable compari-
son, from the statistician's point of
view, can be made between the in
crease in number of automobiles in
use and the increase in the rate per
100000 population for deaths caused
by them. This is because, with a
given number of machines in use in
given area, the fatalities due to them
will tend to be proportional to the
population of that area. When the
comparison is made on this basis, it
appears that a fve-year increase of
IT'S per cent in number of machines
has been accompanied by an increase
OF 25S per cent-from IL to 4,3 per
100000 population-in the death rate
resulting from automobile fatalities.
Similarly, one-year increase of 80
per cent in number of automobiles has
taken place along with an increase of
only 10 per cent-from 3.9 to 4.3 per
1OO,O00-in the death rate charged to
them E@m ....
One cause of this proportional de.
crease in the destructiveness of the
automobile is undoubtedly to be found
in reduction in average annual mile
age per machine; but, after due weight
is given this factor, and a suitable
margin is allowed for possible error
resulting from inaccuracy in the esti-
mated portion of the automobile sta
tistics, the figures still appear to fur
nish ample justification for the con-
clusion that the automobile today IS
being driven with more care and more
regard for public safety than it was a
few years ago.

Big Wrestling Match
Has Been Arranged

Bills are out for a wrestling match
Wednesday evening, Jan. IL, at Clark S
hall, between Oscar Larson, of Minot,
and Nels Moe, Of Plentywood, Mont.
Both men are clever and both have
wrestled here before, and the match is
attracting a good deal of attention. It
is understood that Bert Bruins has said
he will challenge the winner, so there
is likely to be something doing in the
wrestling line this winter.
