Governor Thinks Men
Serve Best on Farms

Fargo, April 28.-In Fargo yester
day, on his way to Washington to at
tend conference called by Secretary
of War Newton D. Baker for May
and 3, to arrange more effective co
Tense council and similar councils anl
commissions in the various states
Governor Lynn J. Frazier stated that
he purposed taking up with the FEEDER
al officials the question of discourag
ing recruiting on the farms where la
Dor will be badly needed to harvest
grain crops. This course should be
followed, the governor said, whether
the volunteer system were continued
or whether selective CONSUMPTION were
adopted. In England serious difficult
ties were experienced because at the
beginning of the war mechanics use
full in munitions manufacture were &C
cepted by. the, army, and Governor
Frazier regards Americas crops as its
greatest munitions.
Governor Frazier also will attend al
Washington, April 80, meeting OF
governors Of prohibition states. This
meeting Is expected to urge national
prohibition as war measure. Cover
nor FaZier declared he was strongly
in favor of such action. He urged this
move in telegram sent two weeks
ago to President Wilson.
In Chicago today Governor Frazier
will attend a luncheon to be rendered
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt at the
University club and public meeting
that will be addressed by Roosevelt
tonight @
The third district congressional,
election probably will be called for
! late in June, Governor Frazier said
and the petition method, by which
each candidate will be required to Sc
cure 300 signatures, is likely to be fol
lowed. The call for a special election
will not be issued now until the gov
ernor's return from the east, in a week
or ten days.
II believe North Dakota will pro
vide good crop Of wheat for the ma.
tion," Governor Frazier said "espec.
tally if good weather prevails during
the next two weeks. I'm a few Sec
lions farmers are discouraged because
of the lack of feed, but this condition
is not general"
Governor Frazier announced, while
here, that negotiations had been un-
dertaken which promise to allow the
continued operation of the state-owned
street car line at Bismarck. The Bis
marck city commission called upon
him Thursday, the governor said, and
proposed that If the state would buy
the new rails required the city would
pay for two blocks of new paving and
allow the rest of the line to remain
as it is during the summer.
II told them this proposition sound
ed fair enough to me-" said the COVER
nor, land we are going to work on
that basis"

Nearby Towns Well
Pleased With Plan

Sanborn Enterprise: Monday even
Ing a committee Of the local CONNER
cial club consisting of Messrs. A. J
Linn, c. O. LANCER, Louis Malm anG
Rev. Frank Atkinson journeyed to Val
ley City, where they met with similar
committees from Darcy and Rogers
and listened to proposal to provide
electric light and power for these
towns over a high tension line from,
Valley City.
Representatives of the Dakota En-
glneering and Construction company, a
corporation having its home Office in
Grand Forks, appeared before the com.
mlttees and outlined their plan. They
propose to build high tension line
from the limits of Valley City, where
they will buy their power, to the city
limits of Sanborn, Rogers and Dazey,
to lease from the villages the local pole
line, which the villages will build, at a
rental which will be sufficient to nav,
during the life of the lease, both prin.
clpal and interest on the cost Of build
ing, and to supply current for lighting
purposes at 15c per kilowatt hour. and
~ SAoAAS SSASo III poWCl pul pOSCS.
The committee was not empowered
to take any steps in the matter and
contented itself with asking the repre-
sentatives of the corporation to come
to Sanborn and place their proposal be-
fore meeting of citizens next Monday
evening in the city hall, and the chair
man of the village board has issued a
call for meeting at such time and for
such purpose
In comparing this, proposed plant
with those of our neighboring towns
there seems to be very much in it's
favor. Onr neighbors have an average
investment Of over $lO,OOO.0O, receive
an average Of 12-hour service, and nav
an average of zoe per kilowatt hour.
According to the plan suggested San
born would receive "a hour service at
l5c per K. W., and would have only
about $500 invested. To say the
very least, it looks sufficiently inter.
esting to warrant all in attending the
meeting next Monday evening" for fur.
Their consideration.
Committeeman Duff and NcGinnis,
of Darcy, and Grangaard and Nokken,
OF Rogers, were enthusiastic for the
plan and returned to their respective
homes to recommend it.
The engineers are now checking IN
the needs of Darcy and Rogers and
making an estimate of the cost of con-
structing the local pole lines. It is
understood that this will lie done in
Sanborn before the meeting Of Monday
evening.

her parents had sent many customers
to Valley City.
One of their real favorites is the
Northern Brand of alfalfa seed. Their
supply for the past five years has come
| from one farm. 1t has given satisfac-
ton, as many Barnes county fields
will show. Prominent among its real
boosters are DR.. /. S. Platou, Hugh Me-
Donald, J. H. Whitcher and Ed Briggs,
though we might name many others.
In face Of a shortage of seed and a
demand that is bound to reach figures
never before heard of in this country,
the company is offering a discount of
ten per cent on orders. This is their
"bit" in the campaign for increased
food production. 1t really means cut
of about half, becaue seeds are going
to be worth real money before the
summer is over.
It won't cost you anything to visit
the company and then go home and
boost for valuable asset to the coun-
ty. If they sold all the seed used in
the county they would have pay roll
that would mean big addition to the
number to feed in Valley City and
bigger market for every producer Of
food stuffs

Probably you're curious to know just

Well, if you include the north third Of

Johnson Funeral Friday
Was Attended by Many

S. J. Johnson, who passed away
Monday evening, was buried from the
Swedish Lutheran church Friday aft
ernoon. Rev. E. A. Martell ofticiated.
A large number of friends and old
acquaintance attended the funeral.
Floral tributes were quite bountiful.
Interment took place in Woodbine
cemetery. Mr.. Johnson had spent
about 20 years in this community, and
was thus one of the pioneers. He
came here from Superior, Wis. To-
gether with Mark Pain from that place
he went into the lumber business here
and remained in that business a great
number of years. He has also been
dealing in wood and coal. He was
known as hard working, honest and
conscientious man.. In business trans
actions he always tried to be fair
and square and treated his customers
as he expected and hoped they would
treat him. AS he hoped no one would
take advantage of him, even though
they would have the chance he made
it point never to take advantage Of
anybody else. His memory will long
be cherished by those who knew him.
Mr.. Johnson reached ripe old age,
the full allotment of years, three score
and ten. He had therefore finished
his days work and was glad to lay
down and rest, awaiting the reward of
the faithful servant. In his case the
words of JOB came true: Thou shalt
come to thy grave in full age. like as
shock of grain cometh in it's own
season. And with the poet he could
say:
and when you see my heartstrings
break,
How sweet my moments roll;
A mortal paleness on my cheek,
But glory in my SOUL"
