ANOTHER MILESTONE

With this issue the Dickinson Press
enters upon the 35th year of its ex-
istence. For more than "a years this
paper has recorded the growth of the
CITY and the Missouri Slope, from the
beginning when the buffalo and ante
lope held full sway on the plains, and
Dickinson was only a frontier hamlet
of a half a dozen shacks, until today
when the same, territory is the ex-
qualification Of wealth and prosper
ity, beautiful farms and magnificent
homes covering the hills and the
plains, and the old frontier town Of
Dickinson now being the location Of
a modern city, having every convent
ence known to mankind. Wonderful
changes come about in half a life
time out west. There is no such other
place in the entire world-as the
productiveness Of the soil, the natural
resources, the push and energy is
nowhere excelled. During the time
that the Press has been in existence
land values in Stark county have
risen in, many instances from so cents
to so dollars per acre, and at that the
beginning is just here.
During these years the Press also
has prospered. Founded by ], T.:
Scott in 1883, it was purchased a few
years later by M. L. Ayers, who re-
NAMED at the helm for a quarter of
a century until the present owner as
sumed the reins of management a
little over a year ago. The old shanty
printing office has given way to n
of the finest newspaper buildings in
the state, built especially to house a
newspaper, which has today a larger
sworn circulation than any other
weekly newspaper in North Dakota
more subscribers than all other Eng
lish newspapers in Stark county COM
bined.

THE sILO ON THE A

The effort to grow corn successfully
on North Dakota farms has proven
more thana satisfactory. Since the
work of acclimating this plant was
undertaken some years ago the
acreage and yield have steadily in
creased from year to year until last
year the statistics show q total yield
in the state of over 13,00O,O 900 bushels.
There are seasons, however, when
not all the corr will ripen. The >silo
obviates the possibility Of any failure
OF the corn crop or account of early
frost OF late planting. There is sell
dom a eason that corn does not adj
vance to the stage of ripeness suit
able for making ensilage. Moreover
corn put up in the form of ensilage
has as much or more feeding value
than corn that ripens and is put in
the crib and the dry stalks fed to
livestock. Some think it has more
nutrition, all things considered, than
when fed as corn.
The modern farm that does not
have a silo is distinctly behind the
times. Where livestock is kept in any
numbers a silo is little short Of a
necessity. And where livestock is not
kept the farm will run down as sure
as the seasons change.
The best evidence that a silo is a
good Investment comes from farmers
that have them. Without exception
they consider the silo a good invest
ment and as a rule declare they would
not dispense with them let the cost be
what it would.
There are many different makes on
the market which enables the farmer
to choose from among them, using his
own judgment as to the kind he pre-
fers. But all have their good points.

Only two Democrats and three Re
publicans, Of all the membership Of
the United States Senate, voted
against the resolution endorsing the
Presidents action in severing diplo-
matte relations with Germany. This
may be said to be fairly indicative of
public sentiment. We all love peace,
but we cherish honor more.
Whatever differences may have
been felt regarding the policy Of the
