At which Uncle Harry threw back
his head and laughed. Then he said:
Jimmy, you have asked very i'm

But I'll be glad to answer you, and l

in Russia lately"

NO CAUSE OF FEAR OF
HARD TIMES IN N. OAK.

While there is much pessimistic
prophesying of hard times for North
Dakot should there be crop failure
this fall, facts do not warrant this
gloomy outlook. Statistics which are
being carefully compiled indicate that
in spite Of 1865 poor wheat crop, the
average Flickertail farmer never has
been in better position to face hard
times than he is today.
Many grain growers declined to let
go their bumper 1915 crop at 81 cents
and thereabout, offered in the fall of
1915 and spring of 1916. They have
been able to supply themselves and
their neighbors with good SOUND seed,
at nice profit, and the grain that
| wasn't used for seed now is being
dumped on the market in lots all the
way from few hundred bushels to
10000, and at prices ranging from
$3.50 to SO.
Every North Dakota farmer is rails.
ing some livestock. Hogs are more
common on North Dakota farms, and
they are bringing terrific prices. Ev>
cry farmer who has horse that can
stand on four legs is making big
money. Dairying has become quite
general, and milk, cream, eggs and
poultry are proving bread-winners.
The North Dakota farmer of today
is not a wheat grower exclusively
He has so many irons in the fire, and
all of those irons are so immensely
profitable right now, that he can take
bump in one spot without derang-
ing his entire financial system.
The only real worry that faces the
North Dakota farmer today is that
his 1917 crop will be so big that he
can't harvest it. Harvest hands
may present real problem, but the
efficiency commission already is at
wOrk m solution

SOME READABLE VERSE
ONCE UPON A TIME

ONCE UPON A TIME
Once upon a time when l was young
Once upon a time when life was
new,
believed whatever songs were sung,
l thought all the tales heard were
true.
Life, l thought was chiefly made of
joy,
Sc l knew the worud was meant for
mirth,
Once when I was young and but a
boy.
Then the years came crowding on and
on.
Sorrow heaped on sorrow, pain on
pain,
Love was jeered and tainted, spat
All the songs seemed false and
wholly vain,
Yet, for all the bitterness and strife
Yet for all the heart-strings that
are Wrung, --',:.'
Still think knew the truth of life
Once upon time when was young.

George N. Young Has
Thanks Of the Papers

The following, from an address in
congress by Hon. George M. Young
is clear, concise statement of the
reasons why second.class rates tc
newspapers is a good public policy:
1T is true that the amount paid by
the publishers of newspapers direct to
the government, if considered by it.
self, may appear insufficient, but II
what the publishers do for the public
free of charge is taken into account
believe it will be found that they pa
their full share of the cost of the
handling of the mails.
Sound and efficient government
must rest upon an intelligent, educated
public opinion. For that reason it is
highly desirable that the citizens OF
the country should be we'll Informed
upon all public questions and all de-
tails of government In this field the
newspapers give space worth many
millions. Almost every public official
from the president of the United
States down to a forest ranger, Sc
cures valuable publicity. The presi
dents addresses are sent in advance
OF delivery to newspapers in all por
tions of the country, released for pub
LEGATION" upon the date of delivery
Thousands upon thousands of newspa
pers print these speeches.
Then the cabinet officers send out
immense quantities of publicity mat
ter, telling Of the activities of their re
specive departments. And they are
quite imperi"us about it, subordinate
officers in some of the bureaus sending
out items with directions like this:
Released for use by papers on -
1917, or thereafter. Publications dis
regarding the release date will be
stricken from the mailing list.
And so it goes through the entire
category of officeholders, the editors
giving the needed publicity to govern
mental activities. The postmaster gen
eral himself, who discusses his sub
ject in one of his annual reports now
before me with moderation and wis
dom gets for the government advertis
ing of immense value, covering one OF
the greatest business enterprises in
the world-the postoffice department
Then the newspapers give to the
public without charge a very large
amount of valuable advertising space
in support of state, county, city, chart
table, religious and other activities
which, if taken into account. would
run into very large sums of money
And this is the class of citizens upon
whom the catalog house men would
descend with the idea of wringing
from them rates sufficiently increased
to enable the government to give them
"a reduced rate upon first class mail
matter"

New Lighting Project
Real Boon to County

1t is not many years since the rural
telephone and the rural free delivery
of mail was seldom thought of and
then only as remote possibility that
might materialize in the future ages.
They are modern ideas and conven>
fences that have in short space Of
time become so common that they are
looked upon as absolute necessities.
The telephone and the free delivery
mail did much to bring the country
nearer to the urban and city center,
and then the automobiles came and
did their part to bring communities
into closer relationship.
Within a short time yet another
step will be taken in Barnes county
which will establish it's position more
firmly as one of the most progressive
counties in the state.
The Sheyenne Valley Light and
Power company, which has recently
been awarded charter and which
will open it's home Office in this city,
will construct a high tension line from
Valley City to Sanborn, Rogers and
Darcy for the purpose Of supplying
electricity for light and power to these
towns and the farms en- route.
The engineering and construction
end of the work will be handled by
the Dakota Engineering and Construc.
ton company, of Grand Forks, which
will also move their headquarters to
Valley City within the next week.
When this system is completed the
villages connected will be given the
same service as any city, namely,
24-hour days with unlimited light and
power at their disposal. While it will
be a great boost for these villages
and others fortunate enough to be on
the system, others may be connected
later as the project is by no means
limited to the original three, but can
be extended to include every hamlet
within radius of AZ or more miles.
The benefit is by no means confined
to them alone. It is the intention Of
the company to supply the rural dis
tricts as we'll. Any farmer who is
fortunate to be located near the
route over which the line will be built
may be connected to same and he
will receive the same service as any
citizen in Valley City or other towns
on the system. Besides lighting his
building he may install motors to op-
crate the various machines on the
farm for which gasoline engines or
other modes of power are being used
and at the same time do it much
cheaper and more efficiently. 1t will
not only add comforts and conven.
fences to the life of the farm but there
is question of dollars and cents also
to be considered. Any farm located
within reaching distance Of the trans
mission line will be worth several
dollars per acre more the day that
this system is completed.

THE GLAD-TosEE-YoU-MAN

The Glad-to-see-yOu treatment
Is great for human ills,
It's better than prescriptions
And multitudes of pills.
Tomorrow Jones may grumble
And look downcast and blue,
The glad-to.see-you manner
Will make him smile at you.
Brown may be all despairing,
Resolved to quit the fight,
Your smile and Glad to see you!"
May cheer and set him right;
Or some one, sad and hopeless,
May seek the way to crime,
Your glad-to-see-you greeting
May stop him, just in time.
So if through life you carry
This cheerful phrase with you,
It's ten to one the angels
Will be glad to see you too!
