COUNTY CANDIDATES

This being the last opportunity we
will have before the coming election
ir which to bring the issues that are
oc interest to the people Of this coun-
ty, we desire to somewhat dwell upon
some Of the candidates in this county.
In so doing we are trying to avoid the
giving of a prejud,ccd opinion.
The main issue that we have in this
county is that of tic Legislature, and,
before we touch upon the candidates
personally, we wish to state that the
individual nominees, who were indors-
ed by the Nonparti san League for tine
Offices of state senator and represen-
tativcs, received thel. Endorsement ir
a convention composed of eleven men
Of This county, and we do not honestly
te!ievc that such meeting was rep
resent2tive or was in accordance with
the will Of the majority Of the men,
bers of the league. However, since
they were indorsed and issue was
taken, the only reason advanced by
these independent candidates for their
election to the offices, is that they
are actual farmers residing upon their
farms, while the regular Republican
nominees are not, even though they
are interested in the farming indus
try; and that is the only reason prac-
tically that they advance as an argu-
ment to convince the voters of this
county that they should reverse their
judgment in choosing their candidates
in tnC spring.
If the league is consistent in it's
principles and contentionS, and We
have 10 reason to believe that it is
not, and if the gentlemen who man
cgc The campaign Of the league in
this county, act in accordance with
the principles and practices of the
league, they know that they arc not
justified in making the campaign a
class issue; in making this cam
paign Of enc class OF people against
another We all know as fact that
in ether parts Of the state men have
been nominated who were indorsed by
the Nonpartisan League, and who are
not bona fide and actual farmers, but
on the contrary are lawyers or buSi-
ness mon; and, if men can be indorsed
in other parts of this state, who are
not actual farmers, is it not incon-
.sisteacy itself on the part Of the Non
partisan managers of the campaign
in this county, ard it's Legislative can

discovered that the president and

time by making false entries. These
men have since been indited and will
be up for trial in federal court prob
ably the coming week. Six local
stockholders and directors came to
the rescue of the bank, each putting
up 100000. After the old slate was
cleaned and sufficient amount Of
capital put up, Mr.. Krick, so we'll

has every reason to feel proud Of the

Casselton has but two banks. The
First National erected a modern two

1t will be good news to many read

Krick is getting along splendidly with
his duties as cashier and executive
head of the First National Bank of
Casselton, this state. Mr.. Krick was
cashier and director in the Richard

until the first of this year, soon after
which he moved to Casselton.

80 cents Fer tushel would be q fair

ever, receive $1.25 per bushel for snall

ures, then, we would have 80 bushels
Of seed oats, and 26 bushels Of feeding
cats In addition t. the straw from one
acre. Or tc state the case more con.
cretely the feeding oats and the straw
would almost pay the total cost Of pro-
cuctfon, including interest on the valu-
alton Of the land. The 80 bushels of
seed should give return Of $50 to
$40. II the total yield Of IS bushels
was sold for feeding purposes it would
realize not more than $26. With poer
seed there would not have been e5
bushels to sell. Thus It is quite evi
dent that seed growing is a fairly re-
munerative business.

woods will be penetrated more readily
and will absorb more crecscte. When
the posts are taken from the hot creo-

The hot creosote causes the air in
the wood to expand and forces out
part of 1t. In the cold creosote the
internal air contracts again. The par
tial vacuum which is thus caused
draws the preservative into the wood

ers to the possibilities Of substituting

creosote is the cheapest and most ef-

il an abundant supply Of cheap timber

value for fence posts. by treating

done easily on the farm. The expense
Of the necessary equipment depends,
to some extent, on the number Of posts
to be treated. 1t has been estimated
that . double-tank equipment should
not cost more than $50 and a single
tank, capable Of treating two lots Of
posts each day, should cost much less.
The posts that are to be treated
with creosote should be thoroughly
seasoned and stripped of their bark,
both outer or inner, in order that the
preservative may penetrate the wood.
After having been cut and peeled they
should be stored in piles through
which the air may circulate readily.
The first step in the treatment is to
place the posts in . tank of creosote
