DEMONSTRATIONS

Reports have been received
from differentp arts of the state
from the different demoastra-
ton farms by the North Dakota
Development League Press Blu.
eau. Picnics have been held a..
the demonstration farms at Mott,
Beach,. Dawson. Tioga, Rugby,
l.akota. Bathgate and Mcleod.
The picnic is only one feature Of
the meetings. After the picnic
dinners the men were taken over
the farms and the rotaSions
carefully gone over AID examin-
ed as to yield and the work put
on each field carefully explained.
At Loko'a, for instance.
patch of SOW thistle was found.
Few of the farmers knew what
it was. This fact gives the weed
a chance to become well develop
ed before their nature is known.
This weed produces seed as
abundantly as the dandelion, and
in addition spreads underground
by means Of underground Root
stems. 1t is one Of the worst
weeds. II would be easy to erad-
icate whea the first little patch
appears. but in a few years it
will spread and the job Of Grad
lcating will be long tedious
one. \ county agent would dis
cover such pests before they got
much Of start.

these farms We're: At Beach, S.

1892. The very high profit at
Lakota is partly explained by the
(fact that the field in alfalfa gave
a profit of $1,000 per acre.
The principal crops grown on
these farms are corn, wheat,
oats ami alfalfa At Batheate
the question came up as to how
much alfalfa seed 30 SOW per
acre. ,Supt. Porter called their
attention 20 fine stand secur-.
ed by sowing five pounds per
acre.

responsibility of a., entire politi-
cal party.
We have in four years come
very near to carrying out the
olatformn Of tho Progressive
party as we'll as our own, for we
also are progressives.
In foreign affairs We have
been guided by principles clear
ly conceived and constantly
lived up to. They are simple,
obvious, easily stated and fund
amental to American ideals.
We have been neutral not only
because it was the fixed and ira
ditional policy Of the United
States to stand aloof from the
politics of Europe. but also be-.
cause it was manifestely our
duty to prevent. if it were pos
sible. the indefinite extension of
The fires of hate and desolation
kindled by that terrible conflict.
| We venturcd to enter Mexican
territory only because there were
no military forces i'm Mexico that
could protect our border from
hostile attack and our own poo
iple from violence and we have
committed there no single act of
hostility or interference even
with the sovereign authority OF
the Republic of Mexico herself.
We must hearten and quicken
the spirit and efficiency Of labor
by everywhere and in all occup-
atoms doing justice to the labor
er. not only by paying a living
wage but also by making all con-
ditioas that surround labor
what they ouht to be.
We must coordinate the rail-
way systems of the country for
national use and must facilitat.
and promote their development
with a view to .heir co-oriina-
:tion and to their better adoption
as a whole TO the life and trade
of the Nation.
We. are Americans for Big
America and rejoice to look for
ward to the day in which shall
strive to stir thu world without;
irritating it or drawing it on to
now antagoniSms.

Why Marriage Is a Failure
Is Found Out my a Woman

Kansas City, Dec. 15.-The investi-
cations of Miss Tiera Farrow, Kansas
City's first woman divorce proctor,
have brought to her the conclusion
that neither the affinity the, mother
in-law, nor the corner saloon plays
the most potent part in causing un-
happy homes. The trouble. she be-
lieves, is to be found rather in a false
ideal of married life. In her inquiry
she has found:
That because girls dream of movie
heroes with curly hair and caressing
eyes as husbands, they decide mar
riage is a failure when their plum ber-
carpenter sponses are commonplace.
That because the ideal of married
life as a rose garden of love, Cleaned
from novels, does not come true, the
young wife grows discontented and
fails to make a success of her job as
a homemaker.
"Of course the fault is not all on
the part of the woman" said Miss
Farow. ''1n perhaps a greater num-
ber of instances the men are at fault.
But there would be many more sue
cessful marriages If girls were
brought up with more of the material
istic and less of the romantic idea.
II see so many disappointed girl
wives who had believed that mar
riage had meant a sort of Utopian
state in which there was no sorrow
or drudgery. Men seldom have this
illusion, but too often they shirk their
marriage responsibilities"
