One of the first requisites for successful
operation of manufacturing plants, is the
supply Of raw material. The Northern Pack
ing Company will handle hogs, cattle and
sheep It's supply of these animals must be
constant at the rate of at least 500 hogs and
$50 cattle and sheep per day. These animals
are to be had in North Dakota. Through
investigation both in the matter Of statistics
and by the general manager Of this plant by
personal visits to different shipping points,
it was shown there is an ample supply Of raw

WHICH SHALL WE BELIEVED

The liquor interests continue to send
broadcast false statements concerning
conditions In dry states. This is one
of them:
''In Colorado $1,000 were rendered
jobless by prohibition; they glutted
the labor market; industrial condi-
lions became chaotic; wages were re-
duced; thousands were thrown on pub
lie charity"
The Colorado state labor commits
sioner, Mr.. Alex Swanson, thus re-
plies:
Prohibition did not make $1,000 job
less. When the 1000 Colorado sa.
looms closed some 10000 persons were
affected. This number included bar
tenders, porters, walters, brewery
workers, etc. They were quickly as
simulated in other lines. There was no
Cutting Of the labor market. Our
great trouble has been to get men
enough for the Jobs. Wages have not
been going up. Thousands were not
thrown upon public charity. Perhaps
few saloon hangers-on were, who
would not work anyway. You will al
ways find such in any town. There
are more demands for men to fill the
jobs since prohibition than there are
men to fill the jobs"

In a few years the statisticians
ought to have some curves showing
what no booze really means to oui
big cities. Under decent and good
government the results are startlingly
similar. For example, here are Seat
tie and Birmingham in opposite cor
ners of the United States, different In
almost every detail of racial makeup,
business interests, ETC., but both tell
ing the same "dry" tale. About one
half as many arrests, fewer murders
and suicides, but more bank clearings
less fire and more building, increased
trade and emptied jails-such are O
few Of the items. The drug problem
is easier because whisky hasn't done
any subsoil blowing for 1t. These
facts, and more like 'em, are noted
by such papers as the Manufacturers
Record and by keen business men who
wonder now why on earth they ever
thought prohibition would hurt bust
ness. probably they had read 1t in
the liquor adsD The sameness Is
tiresome except to those who like to
note social progress, and to the I'm.
fortunate women and kids who some.
times wonder drearily how long 1t will
be before their homes, too, are in out
of the wet.

Sailed Fish Popular Food.

How to conserve the fish supply is
one Of the subjects receiving careful
attention by the British board of trade
in conjunction with the board of agri-
culture. One of the methods which
VITA probably be adopted is the drying
or sailing Of much larger proportion
Of the daily catch than at present, so
as to prevent waste by the fish getting
out Of condition. Sailed paddock are
already being placed on the market In
considerable quantities as an expert
ment. They sell at about II cents
pound retail, and are very palatable.
One method Of preparing is to boil the
fish, throw away the water. and boil
up again, but If It is washed to get rid
of practically all the salt the paddock
should also be soaked In cold water for
"a hours before cooking.

Soldiers Clad In Steel.

Getting Its inspiration from the val
liable service already performed by the
steel helmet, La Nature Of Paris sug-
gests that the soldiers entire body
should be cased In armor. 1t proposes,
says Popular Science Monthly, that
the sides Of the head, neck and upper
part Of the chest be covered with a
gorget, q kind of color, and the loins
with a kind of skirt, like the lower
part Of habergean, both in chain
mail. A cuirass, or breastplate, of NOV
able plates of steel would protect the
chest and back, and hinged steel elbow
pieces and knee pieces would cover the
joints. A face mask and goggles would
complete the suit. The armor would
be light enough to afford perfect free
dom Of action.

WHY CHANGERS ARE DRY.

"The answer Is easy to give" says
Mr.. L. J. Tabor, master of the Ohio
State Grange, explaining why the
farmers are active in the fight for
statewide and nationwide prohibi-
ton. 1.-THE grange is constructive
forward-looking organization. The
first plank in the grange platform is
not more money for the farmer, but
better men and women on the farms
and in America. This high purpose
leaves but one course Of action that
the grange could possibly take in a
moral issue. 1t must be on the right
side Of the question.
"The grange, state and national, is
for absolute prohibition, not for ia
natical or sentimental reasons, but be-
cause common sense and the cold
facts in the case conclusively demon
strate that while the saloon Is the
greatest enemy Of the church and the
home, 1t is also q great enemy Of ru-
raj progress, Of national development
and the best things in life"

Only One Day to Register.

The war department wishes to Inn
press upon the people that there is
only one day for registration. All
males between the designated ages
must register on the day set. The fact
that five days were allowed for the
placing of the necessary blank forms
in the hands of registrars appears to
have misled some headline writer's.
One day only--the day fixed in the
presidents proclamation-will be de-
voted to registration.

Not only has the individual citizenry
of the country made a remarkable re-

indicated such zeal that there is great
rivalry among some Of the common
wealths for the honor of making the
