built within the state and properly
financed by the issue of bonds, and
am satisfied that a terminal elevator
in North Dakota with a state-owned
flour mill would be a great success,
and I firmly believe that two years
from now the will of the people can
not be blocked and that these institu-
tions will then be built.
"I am equally satisfied that this
measure would hamper and retard
real progress, discourage the people
and make the struggle of the farmer
against the grain gamblers much
harder and will tend to block the ulti-
mate establishment of a terminal ele-
vator and flour milling system on a
business basis that will assure sue
cess.
believing that this proposed act
is against the best interests of both
the producer and the consumer and
that the best interests of the state
demand united effort for state-owned
elevators and flour mills built by bond
issue rather than by raising the
taxes, I Withhold my approval.

Whether this training was for six
months as the Chamberlain bill pro-
poses, or for a year as the Army
General Staff proposes, the effect on
the physique of each class of boys,
as they were taken in hand the
country over, would be wonderful. 1t
is precisely what the land of nine
teen needs to set him up. Coming
at time when he has finished his
education, or most of it, and before
he has acquired a family and steady
job, military training will make man
of him.
The physical side, vitality important
as it may be, is not all. Military
training instills in the individual the
invaluable ideals of discipline and
service, and at the precise period
when, emerging from adolescence, he
is naturally inclined to species of
anarchism. He learns the meaning of
duty and responsibility. He acquires
a lively understanding of the fact
that every man owes a duty to his
country, and that such training pre-
pares him to pay that duty, when
ever it may be necessary.
But perhaps the greatest benefit of
universal training is it's inculcation of
the spirit Of true democracy. The
son of the rich man and the son of
the poor man, the son of the learned
man and the son of the ignorant
man, the country-bred lad and the
city-bred youth-all come together on
a common plane, without discrimina-
tion and with a common purpose.
Thus, if we look at the matter en-
tirely from the individual angle, with
out taking into account the supreme
need of training, great body of
citizens for defense of the nation

irons, generously contribute in sub
stantial amount to the farm revenue.
The cattle and hogs are sure profit
makers, and besides engage the best
skill of their owner.
The fact is, farming never was of
such absorbing interest as it is today.
But it's operations should be supple
mented by profitable diversifcation,
so that routine monotony may be
chased away by the added pleasure of
pursuing profitable specialties. Con-
tentment is one of the main factors
making for individual efficiency, and
never before in the history of the
agricultural world has efficiency held
out such prodigal promise.
The Dickinson press., 1917-03-31
FARM EFFICIENCY

The whole world over, the most en-
lightened and progressive agricultural
districts are found where livestock
provides one of the chief sources Of
income. The care and control of do
mestic animals, which are intelligent
yet submissive to his will, tends to
develop the best instincts in man and
make him kindly, self-reliant and
trustworthy. The good stockman
grows proud of his sleek, well-bred
animals, and derives a satisfaction
therefrom not measured in terms of
money. With pride he may hand
down to his sons his reputation as a
breeder. Also, he is able to leave
them fertile fields which he has built
up rather than robbed, a heritage be-
queathed by but few single-crop
farmers. Where, indeed, is more
ideal field for his activity than in
fertile, progressive North Dakota?
In the old farming cycle the crop
that brought the best prices one year
was sure to be over-planted the next.
North Dakota is getting away from
this weakness. The philosophy of di-
versiication has appealed to the
common sense Of the farmer gen
orally. It makes a better rounded
life on the farm, if there are sew
eral diverse interests. The chickens
bring a steady and welcome income
to the farmers wife. Sleek, kind
eyed because well cared for dairy ma

UNIVERSAL TRAINING

The namby pamby, milk and water,

HARVESTING THE MOUNTAIN
TO CONQUER THE NOUN
TAIN

The mountains for years almost i'm
passable barriers to transportation
have been made to yield their limitless
store of energy to the service of man.
The tremendous forces of mountain
torrents have been fitted TO the yoke
of achievement and now furnish the
power that kauls the great all-steel
trains of the Milwaukee Road" across
the backbone of the contiuent-440
miles through the Belt, Rocky and
Bitter Root Mountains. An addition
al PHI miles is being electrified through
the Cascade Mountains, Washington.
When next you journey to the cities
of the Pacific Northwest travel cleo
trically on either of these famous
trains, THE Olympian" or THE Co.
lumbar.
Mountain travel without cinders =
without jar or grinding brakes. Snow
clad vistas unobscured by trailing
smoke via the Chicago, Milwaukee
Il St. Paul Railway.

The article above the CENSOR cop
les from one of the leading agricul-
tural farm papers of the middle west.
It is both moderate and expressive.
IL represents the real situation. Ii is
very unfortunate for our people and
state that from one end OF the coun-
try to the other patriotic Wisconsin is
classed and stigmatized as disloyal to
the cause of the present world war
and humanity. The accusation is not
true. In all periods of stress there
are those who use the exigencies of
the times to exploi their own ell .sh
interests Especially is this true of
the professional politician-the man
or men who have never known any
business but politics and self-aggrand-
izement. IL is unfortunate for her
reputation that Wisconsin is repre-
sented in congress by few men who
look only at the political side of every
question and lend their great influence
to prejudicing the people, rather than
to encourage them TO be brave and
strong in this most important epoch
in the worlds history.
There certainly can be little disloy-
atty in Wisconsin, and it is positively
certain that Senator LaFollette and
his few fellow obstructionists in con-
gress DO NoTrepresentt the sentiments
of the patriotic citizenship of the
grand Badger commonwealth.
We we're all opposed to war. We
must all now be for it because we are
part Of it, and it is disloyalty and
treason to be otherwise at this crisis.
We have no iustifable right to court
peace if it is TO he secured at national
humiliation. It is disloyalnot to stand
squarely behind the administration
that is called upon to defend our world
rights In high station or lowly place
men must show their colors. Selfish
ness and political intrigues must be
suppressed.

IS AMERICA LuKEw ARMl

Immediately upon the declaration
of war with Germany the gloom-mak-
ers in this country got busy manufac-
turing dismal uncertainties as to the
part America would be able to play
in the war Gould democratic Ameri-
ca ever organize efficiently enough to
beat autocratic Germany? Could the
vast half-assimilated foreign popula-
ton ever be modified into one loyal
army? Would the American people,
educated for years in peace principles,
ever do more than acquiesce half
heartedly on their part in the, bitter
est war in history?
We still hear that the great bulk
of American citizens are apathetic,
that they are not yet awake to a full
realization of what this war means.
1t is true that they are quiet; they
ought to be. For three years they
have been reading descriptions, pitt
lessly detailed, of the waste and pain
the war has been creating in Europe.
They are going into the war, not as
three months holiday from the reg
ular business Of life, but realizing to
the full the grimness of the Job before
them. And so the response has been
quiet one, but so businessike and
determined as not 10 leave shred Of
doubt as to what they mean to do.
The response in men and money has
been immensely convincing. Without
any splurge or fuss, 1872, 900 volunteers
have enlisted in the regular army;
49,, 600 men have been added to the
navy; the Marine Corps has been rails
ed to its full authorized strength of
$1,000 men; the National Guard with
300 600 men was quietly drafted into
federal service in August. Altogeth-
err over 500, 600 men were under arms
before the draft became operative:
that has added 6s7, 200 more, making
total of 1850, 600 men under orders
September ). All this in spite of our
enormous alien population and C
anti-militaristic education. We have
over-subscribed a two bilion-dolar
war loan and have given a hundred
million to the Red Cross.
If this is apathy, what would the
American people do if they once got
interested"
