Washington, April 18.-The central
states lead in enlistments in the Ma
rine Corps, although the eastern states
have; by far; the: most applicants for
enlistment, and the Ssouthern states
furnish ~ - least nnm ersf e'goa Hers
ths sssa. according 70 statistics
just made public. s ID s5.ss
The general poor physical condition
Of easterners, the healthy outdoor life
which young men in the interior enjoy,
and the. proportionately scarcity Of
Marine Corps recruiting stations in
the south accounts for the difference,
say recruiting officials.
"Only one man in five can meet our
requirements" said Major General
Barnett, Commandant Of the u. 8. Ma
rine Corps, "and these requirements
are not severe. Men accepted must
conform to certain prescribed age and
size limits, be Of strong constitution,
well formed, sound as to senses and
limbs-spirited young men who are
physically able to perform the 'ttwo-
in-one land and sea service Of our first

CONGRESS sSONAL
CANDIDATES

IL is expected that Governor Frazier
will soon call special election for the
purpose Of electing man to take the
place of Congressman Helgerson, who
recently died, bnt as to how the candi-
dates will get on the ticket, or what
will be the procedure to place them in
nomination is yet an unsettled ques-
tion. There seems to be no provision
in our primary law to cover this case,
and many seem to think that We will
have to revert to the old congressional
district convention method.
There are many men talked of for
the position, and right here in Ramsey
county three or four different ones are
being spoken of, but up to this time
the only man to announce himself is
+. 7. Cuthbert, who was candidate
at the last primary election. for the
nomination, but was defeated by Mr.
Helgersen. Then there is Senator
John E. Paulson, Of Hillsboro, and
Lieut.. Governor Kraabel, and Tread
well Twitchell, the big Cass county
farmer, and a member of many ses-
sions Of the legislature, ex-treasurer
Gunder Olson and several others. who
have been spokensaf. In Grand Forks
Attorney 0. B. Burtness is being push
ed by this friends and admirers to ret
into the race, and in recent inter
view, here is what he says:
''ln regard to the rumor that / am
a candidate for congress to succeed
the late Ma Helgesen, 1 can only say
that have Hot fully made up my mind
to become an active candidate. Some
splendid support has been rendered
me. If there is demand among the
people Of this district for a represen-
tative who believes in the fundamental
principles Of the Republican party one
who believes in the doctrine of indi-
vldualism as contrasted with So
cialism, one who advocates Federal
legislation along progressive lines
: and one who believes that at this try
ing time it is the duty Of all citizens
70 Loyalty support the President and
the administration in the enforcement
OF American rights and the protection
OF American honor, and il ahes people
feel that I measure up to that stand
ard, ] should consider it asare privil-
eye to represent this district in Con-
gress. If the taking Of such q posi-
ton is to be candidate, then / am
one" -
Take it all in all, there is likely to
be q lively scramble Off the position,
and just who viii bs the lucky man
would be hard to predict or even make
9 close guess at this time.

RATES | / BOOSTED | ] | | !

The following Is from the pen Of w.
C. Taylor, publisher Of the LaMoures
Chronicle, and for ak years last past.
commissioner Of insurance sof this
state. It is worthy of peiusal: We
believe it would IS . fine thing il the
farmers Of North Dakota would this
year patronize 70 q Tar greater extent
than ever before the state hail insur-
ance fund. We say this year, because
as result Of the severe losses sus-
tanned last year, not only will fewer
companies write hail insurance il this
state during the coming season, but il
is said that the rates, already well
nigh prohibitive, have been given an
other boost. The writer has always
believed that our system Of voluntary
mutual hail insurance under state
management would work out to good
advantage, even at the very low rate
Of 80 cents an acre, il farmers gener-
ally IN Ill parts Of the state would
support il. Asit ia most d the stase

stien tiil 4 i 7 tillluts haasI " i,
hail dalhags 70 BE tie heaviest, taking
EonA year with smother. Exact figures
are not now recalled, but iie is perfect
~ safe to say that the entire volume
Of insurance written through the state
hail depar rttnent last year, Ut least Il.
ty per cent was contributed by less
than half a dozen counties, in which
the hazard was notoriously high. The
result was Just Whist might have been
expected; losses were settled at 80
cents on the dollar. Of course this
difficulty would be removed under
compulsory system; but it is likely
that the great majority Of farmers
who have persistently failed or re-
fused to support the mutual plan Of
state hail insurance will vote for the
adoption Of the proposed compulsory
plan. In matters Of self Interest the
farmer is pretty much like the rest Of
US. He doesn't like to bs forced.

Ottawa, April 16.- EThe iegoy5s ssnment
has placed wheat, wheat flour and
semolina on the free list, thus ope
ing United States markets to Canada
and Canadian markets to the United
States in these products.
u. s. to Admot Wheat.
Under the reciprocal clauses of the
American tariff the United States will.
admit free wheat and wheat products
Of any country which admits Amefii-
can wheat without duty. ],
The Canadian tariff heretofore, has;
prevented this privilege being availed5
of. ~
Markets are Opened.
The action taken by the Canadian
government today removes the duty
and automatically opens the markets
Of each county to the other.
The order is due to difficulty Of ex-
port abroad owing to shortage of
ocean tonnage and the fact that the
British market virtually has bash
closed for Canadian wheat Of the low
er grade.
Wheat Duty 10 Cents.
The duties removed are ten cents q
bushel on wheat and 45 cents barred
on flour.
