GUARANTEEING COST OF SEEDING.

''lf the government is really anxious TO insure
maximum acreage OF cereals for 1913, let it insure
the farmer the actual cash cost Of seeding, said q
man who knows.
That cost, he c,timaled, including the purchase
price of grain used solely for seed possibly the farm
labor hired and the feed consumed by horses used
in the operation, would be 1880 TO "a the acre.
Many farmers in 1917 this gentleman stated did
not realize that much from the huge acreage which
they planted with borrowed money in patriotic
response to the plea Of their country for bumper
crops.
The average man who has Il farm TO rent is not
Justified az business proposition in borrowing
money to pay for seed and Irvine and other plant
ing expense for a return of half Il possible crop
The average farmer he declares, is already the
greatest gambler on earth, and Uncle Sam is ask
ing him to raise the limit. In return he urges that
Uncle Sam guarantee this farmer that he will get
out OF his crop the actual money he puts H.. say
ing nothing as to his labor and the interest on his
Investment,
Uncle sam Is guaranteeing the railways n fair
return on their capital, and he is undertaking the
management OF their business for them Would it
not be as logical, asks our friend, for Uncle Sam
to take over the farms and operate them and guar
antee their owners at least bread and butter
return.
or course, we all know, that 1913 is bound to
be good crop year, We have had two bumps in
succession and the cards are due to turn. BUT
after all, it il the farmer who is taking the bic
chance, the long end of the bargain, when Uncle
sam says: PLANT every acre" Would it be anv,
thing more than simple justice for Uncle Sam to
say PLANT Every Acre, and I'll Stake the Cash
Cost OF Seeding Against Your Farm and Your Labor

Seed Grain Matter.
The seed grain shortage seems not
SO severe as originally indicated.
Ward county, one OF the hardest hit
by the drouth of 1917, has issued
s23O,000 worth Of seed bonds, which
were promptly sold 20 the First Ma
tional bank Of Minot at premium.
Burleigh county has authorized the is.
suance of seed warrants to tie amount
OF 100000. but anticipates that not
more than fifty per cent of the max
jmum will be required. Stark county
is planning to care for its seed grain
needs, and the Hettinger county board
is prepared to act as soon as it learns
what may be expected fro me- special
session.
Senator II. W. Allen, who was in

that there seems to be little demand

WILL AMERICAN WOMEN SACRIFICE JEWELS
LIKE THEIR TITLED ENGLISH SISTER
By FREDERICK N. KERRY.
Special Staff Dispatch.

New York, Jan. 15.-Five hundred
million dollars worth of diamonds,
pearls and other precious stones and
jewelry may 90 into the melting pot
of war charities if American society
leaders follow the example of the
Duchess of Marlborough in England.
The duchess, who was Consuelo
Vanderbilt, daughter of w. X. Wander
bilt of New York, has parted with the
famous Vanderbilt pearls-a magnifi-
cent collar composed of fifteen rows
of pearls, connected by large dia-
monds and set in plaques, worth in all
about $25 ,C90-as gift to the chill
dren's jewel fund of Great Britain.
She has asked every woman in the
British Isles to sacrifice one piece of
jewelry to the fund. ~ 90"
There are many famous jewels in
the possession of American women.
One Of the most beautiful and costly
Of these is the Hope Diamond now
in the possession of Mrs. Edward
Peale Mclean of Washington, D. c.,
daughterinlaw of the deceased mil.
ljonaire John r. Mclean, and m other
of The famous millionaire baby Nc.

chased this remarkable stone, and had
it mounted in hair ornament. 1t is
almost as blue as a sapphire and
weighs "A 1-S carats, and is valued at
s125,OO9 Mrs. Mclean also owns an
other beautiful stone, the we'll known
'Star of the East" weighing nearly
9s carats It is one of the largest dia-
monds in the world and is valued at
more than 100000.
A wonderful string of pearls that
may go into the melting pot of war
are those owned by Mrs. George
;ould. Her pearls are strung into
necklace of great beauty and of fabu-
lous. value. They are perfectly match
cd and the central ones are among the
largest in existence When worn by
Mrs. Gould they form four loops
around the neck. the lowermost falling,
to the waist She has never permitted {
the exact value of this chain to be-,
come known. but the sum of money
represented is a large one. 4
