CAST THE KNOCKER OUT.

The place that gives man his
living is entitled to his best eff
forts to benefit the place and the
community. No man has a right
to live in a live town who seeks
to enrich himself and not ac-
lively identify himself with its
interest. TO be classed as a
drone or a chronic kicker and OPP
posed to every measure believed
to be for the good of the citizens
is a stigma that should attach to
no man in the corporation. The
improvements necessary to be
made and the manner of making
them a monument to the enter
prise and intelligence of the cit
liens is the duty each person
owes to the place in which he
lives. No man has a right to
block legislation in his town
simply because he is not person
ally benefited bv the proposed
improvements or perchance may
have to pay a little toward it.
for in the end it will no doubt
have proven a wise proceeding.
Let all join in any movement cal
culated to better our little city
in the year 1916. and trust the
results will justify action and
meet the highest anticipations
for a prosperous future.-Nat-

THE VALUE OF A GOOD
9 NAME.

Along with the value of good
soils, good seed. good livestock
and good farming methods, the
young farmer who would achieve
success must bear in mind the
value of a good name. The man
of his word, the man Of honor
whose reputation for square deal
ing is known to all the country
side has an asset Of incalculable
value.
Most Of the worlds business
today is done on credit or conf
dence in the ability and willing
ness to pay, and were credit abol-
ished business of all kinds would
of necessity largely stop. And
Just so it is with the young
farmer STRUGGLING to get on in the
world. Very frequently without
capital of his own, if credit is
denied him he labors at a sore
disadvantage. He may need
credit to buy, clear and drain
land; to build a home; to buy i'm
proved livestock; but without cap
ital and without credit these
things must be gone without, and
a possibly 4cellent farmer badly
handicapped.
To all Of our young men we
would say, then. diligently as you
cultivate your prize acre of corn,
look even more carefully to your
prize pig may be, strive ever that
the fame Of your good name may
spread farther. Your crop may
fail or your piR may die, and still
the loss would not be irrepairable !
but once a young mans good
name is gone something is lost
that q whole life's work may |.
never replace.
Make debts, if you need to in
order to better your business, in
order that you may become a
better farmer; but when YOU give
your promise. either verbally or
In writing. make it an iron rule to
let nothing on earth keep you
from fulfilling it. The good name
you will win will be more price,
less than gold. = Progressive
Farmer. ~,

Bilious Attacks.

When you have a bilious at

its functions. You become con-

ferments in Your stomach instead
Of digesting. This infames the
stomach and causes nausea, vom-

CAUSE OF VICE AND CRIME.
Bv JudsOn Grenell.


When the European war broke
out there were several hundred
persons detained at Ellis island by
reason Of their physical or moral
unfitness, a considerabl number
being prostitutes, because there
was no way Of deporting them. As
the war continued, hundreds of
others were sent there from insti-
tutions as being likely to become
public charges, or who, prior to
entry to this country, had been
convicted of or admitted the com
mission of a crime involving moral
tnrpitude.
Thus the problem arose as to
what to do with these ''undesir-
ables." The war prevented them
being returned to their own
countries, and Ellis island is no.
equipped to take care Of perm
anent population. The station
was becoming crowded; the
health Of those detained was suf-
fering from the confinement.
Luckily for the people Of the
United States. the port of New
York has a commissioner of i'm
migration equal to the occasion.
Each case was examined on its
merits. Men and women. even if
they did fall within the inhibited
classes. were given a
chance. Positions were found for
them with responsible persons.
and some were prt in charge of
relatives or friends. They were
to report to Commissioner Fred
eric C. Howe the life they WERE
leading. and what they were do.
ing. Says Mr.. Howe:
A tabulation has Just been
made of 800 persons released from
on their own recognize
ance, or to their friends. and of |
his number less than half dozen
nave failed to make good. MANY I!
who were given employment at SIS
md $40 week are now getting
go and $25 a week; they are ac-
'umulating SAVINGS.
All this is a remarkable demon
'tration of the fact that vice and
rhine are largely the result of
poverty and lack Of opportunity.
When industrial conditions i'm
rove. when even the down-and-
unfamiliar with our land
nd institutions. was given a
nance, and aided by a kindly
7ord and a life, he has been able
0 make good and retrieve his
asst.
Here is fine illustration which
an be found repeated over again
1 the history of this and other
that "the wrongs of
re world, the evil, the vice. and
he criminal action of people are
'aceable back to the environment
/ which people live-to bad hous-
x, to inadequate wages"
Policemen, and militia, and jails
Id courts Of justice become nee
sary only because there are|
'cial wrongs that keep people
'or, that make stealing. or even
urder, the line of least resist
ice; and that drive men and
omen to excuses that would
'ver have been thought of under
'oper social conditions.
Thus, the first duty of society
to give all an equal chance
tier that has been accomplished,
will be time enough to inter-
re with individual liberty in the
oduction and distribution of
,alth in the endeavor to make
e world better.

their alfalfa seed cut with bind
err Occasionally it is sufficient
ly tall and upright to be cut AMI
bound in the same manner as
wheat or oats. When this can
be done it simplfies the problem
a good deal as it is much easier
handled and less liable to shatter
after being cut. In certain cases
the crop has been cut success
fully with the binder but not
bound being deposited il gravels
to be handled later with a wide
fork. In either case, if cut With
a binder, it is we'll to make the
cutting when the alfalfa is damp
so that the work of the packers
of the binder upon the pods will
thresh out the minimum amou n
of seed.
IL other states a header has
been used to cut seed alfalfa but
this method has probably not
been used in North Dakota. The
