YOURLOCAL
NEWSPAPER

Your local newspaper is in no sense
special child of charity It earns
every dollar it receives and is second
to no enterprise in contributing to the
upbuilding and betterment of the town
and community. It's patrons reap far
more benefits from it's pages than its
publisher and in calling for the sup
port of the community, it asks no more
than what in all fairness belongs to it.
Patronize your home paper as you
would any other enterprise, as a mat
ter of business, because it directly or
Indirectly helps you, and not as a mat
ter of charity.-C E. Miller in Apache
(Okla.) Review.

conviction and obligation as we'll as
of confidence that the National War

set aside the period November 18th to

THE WORKMEN ORDER -
SHOWS FINE GROWTH

The financial statement Of the An
cient Order of United Workmen pub
lished in the Press today shows the
remarkable growth of this institution.
Its claim of being one Of the strong
est financial institutions Incorporated
under the laws Of North Dakota is no
doubt correct, and as it's reserves are
practically all invested in North Da-
kota, it is doing wonderful work IN
helping build up our state, and is one
of the home institutions which all
citizens of North Dakota should be
proud Of.
The death claims of this institution
are paid promptly on satisfactory
proof of death. This order started
business in North Dakota in 1895,
and has paid out on it's policies to
benefciaries $1,S42,OO0.00. It has
built and owns one of the finest Of
flee buildings in Fargo, adjoining the
postoffice, valued at $50,000.00.
It's officers and board Of directors
are Of statewide reputation, financial
standing and unquestionable capabili.

THE CZAR OF RUSSIA IS
RICHEST MAN IN WORLD

The richest man in the world is
not mere multi-millionaire, whose
wealth can be estimated by income
tax experts. He is the Car of
Russia, and no man living knows his
wealth. His income is said to be a
million or so dollars day, which en-
ables one to estimate roughly some
thing like ten or thirty billion as the
sum of his possessions, and this is
largely guess work.
As the head of the church, he con-
trolls the church properties amounting
to billions. He owns in his name
150,O00,000 acres of land, comprising
timber, mines and agricultural lands
sufficient to furnish food for even
such a nation. He receives from the
state, or government, a salary Of
$40 100000 year.
The Gar pays more than his own
expenses. He maintains his palaces
and royal residences, hundred or so,
and takes care of the cost of the
household of all the royal personages
of the nation. This involves some
10000 servants, 700 automobiles,
5000 horses, and a small army of
soldiers and secret service men.
Plainly he needs the money.
From the mines Of Siberia he de-
rives a royalty upon every ounce of
mineral mined. The agricultural
lands are rented, the forests are be-
ing worked up into lumber.

THE FARMERS UNION
ELEVATOR SHIPS BIG
ORDERS OF SEED GRAIN

The Farmers Union Elevator Com
pany of this city is gaining quite a
reputation over North Dakota and
over other states for handling fine
quality of seed grain. Orders have
been received the past week for large
quantities of seed wheat from several
towns in eastern North Dakota, and
this week one shipment Of Durum
seed wheat was made to the Lismore
stock farm at Clinton, Mimi, one of
the largest stock farms in Bigstone
county. Another shipment goes out in
a few days to, Clinton, South Dakota,
and several ear loads will be shipped
out soon to various points.
There is a scarcity of good quality
seed grain this season in other Sec
tions Of the country and there is a
big demand for the fine quality of
grain raised in the west Slope
country.

Buys Over Thousand Head
Cattle For One Shipment

The largest purchase of stock cattle
in the state this year was made the
first of the week by Richards & Will
cox, who contracted for 1885 native
Montana yearling steers and heifers
to be delivered at Watford City the
first of May. The cattle are being
wintered by sheep growers at Chi:
nook, Montana, and are being fed
alfalfa and bluejoint hay. It was a
case of having a lot of splendid feed
which induced the men to buy the
calves at high price last fall and
of course they have to sell this
spring, as they do not have summer
range for anything but their sheep.
w. L. Richards learned Of the herd
of yearlings and went up at once,
reaching the ranch the last of last
week. He was pleased with the stock.

spring delivery. The cattle cost $45
