The churn should be stopped when
the butter granules are the size of
wheat grains. This is because at this
stage the buttermilk can be washed
out and the salt mixed uniformly
throughout the butter,
Remove the butter to the worker
with wooden paddle, Or ladle, while
it is still in the granular condition
The small "V' shaped lever worker is
one of the best types on the market.
If only a very small quantity of butter
is made at a time, it may be worked
in an old fashioned butter bowl by
means of a ladle, but this is very diff
cult and tiresOme,
AS soon as the butter has been re-
moved to the worker, add the salt. The

word he says is the truth.
This man has been in bad health

talks it to his friends all the time,
and is anxious to tell other people
what it has done for him.
Yours very truly,

his own words, follows below just as
it was given:

cases of Indigestion and stomach
trouble any man ever had. I could
MT eat hardly anything and nothing
tasted right. At times gas on my
stomach would almost choke me,
Nothing agreed with me, and what /
would eat didn't give me any strength

cause | saw what it was doing for
other people, and l could see all the
difference in the world right from the
start. 1t simply did wonders for me,
and made me feel like a new man.
Before taking Tanlac couldn't
do any work at all. Now l am using
the pick and shovel every day, and

CREEK INDIANS THANKSGIVING

Among the Creek Indians of Okla

Dusk" which is a celebration CORE
spending to our Thanksgiving, except
that they celebrate the ripening of
The corn, and not its harvesting. Yet
the idea is exactly the same--one of
giving thanks. By early writers it
was called the "green corn Dance"
and was regarded as a time of gener-
al forgiveness, Of absolution of all
crime and a doing away with any
feeling Of hatred toward others.

Labor unions in Fargo, to a unit,
support the eight hour law proposed
before congress, as a means of pre-
venting the proposed railroad strike

FINANCE
IS WHOLE
PROBLEM
Real Need of Farming Dis,
tricts is Indicated by
Captain Smith

All The logic of economists doesn't
tell of the benefits of easy credits for
farmers with one-half the effectiveness
of simple incident told by Capt. w.
S. A. Smith, one of the members of
the farm loan board, who is here to-
day with the board. to conduct an i'm
portant hearing to determine the To-
cation of the central banks.
Capt. Smith got the title of captain
because for over 20 years he rode the
seas most of the time as the boss Of
the crew. He has sailed every ocean
and made nearly every port of i'm
portance in the world. A few years
ago he bought farm near Sioux City,
Ia, and made such success of actual
farming that he was called to the u.
S. department of agriculture as an ex-
pert adviser and later was named by
President Wilson as one of the five
members of the federal farm loan
board.
1t was while acting as an. expert
adviser for the department of agricul-
ture that Capt. Smith got his graphic
demonstration of the need of farm
credits. He went to Maine to inspect
the work of the county farm agents.
With an agent he visited Maine farm
Of 104 acres whose owner was 70
years of age and who had been born
on that very farm. The aged man told
Capt. Smith that never had the farm
paid more than bare living to its
owner, and that two of his sons had
left home and gone to other work
After one of the sons had worked
out, he met and talked with one of

the county advisers and became i'm
bued with the belief that the old
farm could be made to pay after all.
He had saved $4,000 and he came
home and proposed to his father that
they enter into partnership.
1t Is rule that il any farmt ac-
cepts the aid of county agent he
must do just what the county agent
says. The adviser told this farmer that
his seed potatoes were no good and
that he should get good seed. He did.
Then the agent told the farmer to buy
fertilizer, ~.
How much?" asked the farmer.
The county adviser told him that
the land required fertilizer that would
cost $40 an acre.
But the land is only worth $20,"
SAID the farmer.
If you are going to grow potatoes
worth of fertilizer" said the agent
The farmer bought fertilizer and
that year from 171A acres the partner
ship sold $4,000 worth of potatoes.
AFTER deducting all expenses; interest
on the land; allowing wages for Ia
Dor and paying for the fertilizer, the
son handed to his father $1,300-just
one half of the net receipts from the
potato crop. Other products of this
to $500.
The old man said he never before
had had $1,000 in cash at one time.
Capt. Smith asked what the 104
acres was worth. He was told that it
was worth only $50 an acre, even
with added improvements. But" ask
ed Capt. Smith. do you mean to tell
me that O. farm that will produce
such a profit is worth only $3,00O?"
: The old man in answer pointed to
the adjoining farm which could be
bought for even less money.
What's the trouble over there"
asked Capt. Smith "Why can't they
make as much money as you?'
They haven't the $4,000 to buy
fertilizer was the answer.
And to Capt Smith the great thing
in farm credits is to provide the farm
er with cheaper money to be used in
developing the farms and putting them
on paying basis, and give the farm
er long time to pay out so that he
will not be cramped.

This City
SPRING WHEAT DISTRICT

Opportunities Fargo
the Logical Center
SPRING WHEAT DISTRICT

Fargo's plea for the establishment
in this city Of one of the twelve banks
provided for under the rural credits
act was presented to the land loan
board. at it's session here. today.
c. o. Follett. president of the Fargo
Commercial club, chairman Of the
committee, made the general state
ment in behalf of fargo. and was
followed by other members of the To-
cal committee, advocating various
points in favor Of this city.
Contending for the establishment of
a district that would contain Minne-
sofa, North and South Dakota and
Montana, the Fargo Commercial club
committee. in its brief. covered the
general situation in the following:
I'm our opinion. the so-called spring
grain states district offers an espec-
tally fertile field for the development
Of the federal land bank system. The
reasons for this are clear. At the pres
ent time the one crop plan of farming
is largely used. This plan carries with
1t great risk. The crop and consequent
income is largely dependent on wealth
er conditions. The unfavorable wealth
er hazard is ever present and carries
with it the uncertainty of meeting
maturing obligations. Short time loans
are not practical. The conditions should
be and would be vastly improved I'M
der system of long time credit such
as is now offered by the federal gov
ernment. Under such a plan the obli-
cations are divided and levied on a SER
les of years or rather on q succession
of years. The burden on any one year
becomes light and the dreaded matur.
ity date, ever a menace hanging over
the farmer under our present system
disappears entirely. To do away with
the loan that natures in a poor crop
year is the gist of the whole matter.
To equalize and extend this maturing
obligation over a period is the new
plan. Manifestly, this is just what our
farmers need. We argue that present
day needs of agriculture demand al
better system of long time credit. The
federal land banif act will provide
The Spring grain states district

growth and development Of this sys-
tenn. The plan comes to them as a.
necessary element to further the

j. l.. Rohan, Fargo agent of the
Great Northern, received a circular
this morning, setting forth the plans of
that line with respect to service, in
event Of a strike.
The circular follows:
In view Of the announcement Of
certain employees of this company to
engage in a strike, to become effective
at a. m. Monday, Sept. 4, agents are
hereby instructed:
'First-To notify intending travellers
that the company will not be RESPONSE
BILE for any delays that may occur after
the time above mentioned.
"Second-To notify all shippers that
preference will be given to the move
ments of perishable freight, food sup
plies and fuel and all bills of lading
will be endorsed that freight is sub
ject to delay.
''Third-It will be the purpose of the
company, so far as it may be in its
power to do so, to provide transporta-
tion necessary for the health and sub
sistence of the communities dependent
upon it,
"Fourth-To move at least one train
each way daily for the transportation
of passengers, mail and express.
"Fifth---To gradually expand these
activities. so far as may be practicable.
Agents have been advised to notify
all parties interested in accordance
with the foregoing program and will
notify officers Of municipalities that
the ability to carry out our present
intention will be largely dependent on
their willingness and ability to afford
protection to the company and it's
property in so doing.
