North Dakota Best
Market In Country

One of the strong points made by
the advertising experts at the press
association convention at Grand
Forks recently was that advertisers
in the papers OF North Dakota gel
more for their money than those in
other parts of the country.
The modern business man scarcely
needs to be reminded Of the value OF
advertising. Its efficacy has been dem
onstrated on too many occasions to
need fresh demonstration today
And the men who have made the clos.
est study of the subject and are most
conversant with it are united in the
opinion that the newspaper is by all
means the best advertising medium
known.
There is a special reason why
North Dakota newspaper publishers
should just now pay more than ordi.
nary attention to advertising and why
their course should be watched with
interest by advertisers all over the
country. Advertising is valuable to
the advertiser, not only in it's relation
to the number of persons into whose
hands the announcement can be plac-
ed, but in relation to the ability of
those persons to buy goods, and the
sober fact is that North Dakota is the
best selling market on the American
continent today.
Not only has North Dakota more
wealth per capita than any other state,
but that wealth is more generally dis
tributed. We have none of the eX-
tremes Of wealth and poverty which
are to be found, for instance, in the
crowded cities of the east. In
this state there is a condition Of gen.
eral comfort and even affluence which
is not duplicated in any other state.
Our people have money and they are
ready to spend it for all things which
make for better living. Hence the
advertisers message to them is likely
to be fruitful one. Stated in terms
of circulation, thousand for thousand
an inch of advertising in a North
Dakota newspaper is worth more to
the advertiser than an inch in a news
paper in any other state in the union.
For their efforts North Dakota gives
her citizens more for their labor.
North Dakotans have the money
with which to buy.

Wimbledon Woman Burned
by Explosion Of Gasoline

Wimbledon News: Mrs. Charles
Bloedel lies at her home in a critical
condition the result of burns sustained
when the oil can exploded while she
was lighting a gasoline stove. The oil
flew over her clothing and enveloped
in flames. She ran out of the house
and endeavored to extinguish the fire
by burying herself in the snow. Her

Washington, Feb. 5.-For the word
illegal which Germany was unwill-
ing to incorporate in the tentative
draft Of the Lusitania agreement, the
Berlin foreign Office has substituted
phrase which certain high authori-
ties in a position to be familiar with
the status of the negotiations con-
slider covers all the principles involved
in the question of submarine warfare.
The language substituted for the
Objectionable word illegal" in ten
tative communication now being con-
sidered byPresident Wilson, AYERS that
the killing Of Americans in the Lusi-
tania disaster was without intent, be-
cause the destruction Of the Cunard
liner was an act of reprisal, and the
German government agrees that re-
prisals should not be applied to neu-
trails.
From various diplomatic and official
quarters tonight came the informa-
ton that the outlook was promising
for an early settlement.
It was indicated that the tentative
form of settlement, which, should it
prove acceptable to the United States,
will be embodied in a formal commu-
nication from Germany, approaches
nearer the desire of the United States
than any yet submitted with the au-
thority of the Berlin Office.
Secretary Lansing and Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
met quite informally in the Metropoli-
tan club here today. The ambassador
seemed extremely optimistic at the
conclusion of the talk.
The cardinal points of the tentative
form of settlement were obtained to-
night. The agreement is prefaced
with the statement that submarine
warfare in the North sea was inaugur-
ated by the Germans in retaliation for
what she regarded as the "illegal'
British blockade under the orders-in-
council.
1t then states that the method of
conducting submarine warfare in the
North sea has been modified on &C.
count of the friendship Germany has
for the United States, and because of
the fact that American lives have been
lost.
Germany says the killing of Ameri-
cans was not intended because repri-
sal should not be applied to neutrals.
and in addition expresses regret for
the loss of American lives, assumes
liabilities and offers reparation in the
form of indemnity @1
The last portion Of the document
expresses the readiness of Germany to
cooperate with the United States in
any effort looking toward the freedom
of the seas. *.>ssss..%>
Secretary Lansing sent the draft to
President Wilson last night.

Clean Your Seed
Grain in March

Clean your seed grain in March. 1t
will pay to do it we'll. The average
mill of farm size will clean about 800
bushels in day. If you take out
only ten per cent for seed grain, you
will get 80 bushels day at cost Of
from five to ten cents a bushel for
cleaning and grading. Experiment
station records show that grain so
graded will increase the yield from ten
to Is per cent under normal conditions.
It does not take much figuring, there
fore, to see that time spent in doing
a thorough job of grading and cleaning
seed grain may be among the most
profitable days of the farm year. The
increase in yield is practically all net
profit. Seed grain that is well Sc
lected and graded from year to year
will not run out, but should improve
if properly handled.
Before seeding treat the seed grain
for smut. One pound of formalin
mixed with 40 gallons of water will
treat about 40 bushels Of grain. The
loose smut Of oats and the kernel
smut of wheat causes the loss Of mil
lions Of dollars every year. Few un-
treated fields escape.
Thorough tanning and grading Of
seed grain and treating for smut are
some of the simplest yet most effec-
tive things that can be done to turn

Rogers Citizen: A change in the
business firms of Rogers took place

The garage will be the most complete
one in the small towns of this section
of the country and as Rogers is locat-
ed on the green and white coast trail,
it is expected that there will be much
work in this line the coming summer.
Mr.. Stearns has not announced his
intention as yet, but expects to close
out his implement business and will
take up some other occupation. His
many friends are sorry to lose him
from the implement business, but wish
him success in whatever he may I'M
dertake.

section of the country and needs no
It is needless to say
that he will no doubt make a success

Washington, Feb. ga national de-
tense program is being drafted by the
Republican leaders Of the house that
will far surpass in strength and cost
the army and navy bills to be pre-
scented from the committees by the
Democrats. An attempt will be made
by the Republicans to substitute their
bills for the Democratic bills and a
real test of strength for preparedness
is to be made in congress-.
The Republican bills are to be has.
ed on recommendation made to con-
gress from time to time by the army
and navy stats and by the general
board Of defense. It is reported that
the Republican plan will go even be-
yond the recommendations of these ex-
perts and will provide for the immedi-
ate inauguration of plans both for the
army and navy that will tax the re-
cruiting and building strength of the
country.
This is to be the Republican answer
to the challenge of President Wilson
to the country and his appeals that it
make ready against possible dangers
from invasions or aggressions It is
also a shrewd political move on the
part of the Republican leaders to place
their Democrats colleagues in a hole.
Under the Republican plan every
members of congress is to be placed
on record as to his position on ma
tional defense as recommended by the
president.
The Democrats in congress for the
most part are accepting unwillingly
the issue thrust upon them by the
president and will give grudgingly as
little as possible in the way of in
crease. This fact is to be emphasiz-
ed by the Republican leaders.
Democratic leaders, to get back at
the Republicans, are planning to add
to the revenue legislation to be pre-
scented to take care Of the extraordi-
nary expense attached to the defense
program, the Rainey tariff commission
plan.
Republican Leader Mann and other
influential leaders have declared for
a tariff commission and they will be
forced to accept the Democratic rev.
enue measure with the Democratic
committee plan or vote against the
tariff commission they have been urg.
ing.
Led by Representative Fordney,
Michigan, the Republicans will pre-
sent revenue measure as a substi.
tute for the Democratic plan in which
they will propose many changes in
the Underwood tariff law as we'll as
increase in the present income tax.
