NORTH DAKoTAs CONSERVATION
POLICY.

|
POLICY.
From an article in the Union Signal
by Mrs. Elizabeth Preston Anderson,
president North Dakota w. G. T..
u, we quote the following paragraphs I:
while North Dakota is an agricul-
tural and not a manufacturing state.
yet according to the United States
census for 1910 the average number of
wage-earners increased In ten years
l05 per cent The value of goods pro-
duced increased in the same time 205
per cent. The value of farm products
increased during the same decade 211
per cent; the value of live stock 155
per cent; the value of crops 234 per
cent. This percentage of increase was
not exceeded by any other state in the
Union. During the year 1913 this state
led every state in railroad construc-
ton"
"The tax on $1,000 of actual value
in 1913 was 80 cents. The same year
in Minnesota the tax on $1,000 of ac-
tual value was $2.12; Montana, $1.20;
Idaho, $1.61; Iowa, S2.45; Nebraska,
SIPS; Michigan, $2.5; Indiana, $4.00."
"The agricultural wealth of North
Dakota exceeds the agricultural wealth
of the six New England states COM
bined, and, with the exception Of Tex
as, exceeds in value any of the IS
Southern states, all of which, except
Delaware and Florida, have more than
three times North Dakota's popula-
ton. The total wealth of the state in
creased from 1897 ,O06506 in 1890 to
S1,973, 616,540 in 1917. Under prohibit
ton the state has multiplied its wealth
nearly six times"
"North Dakota has bank for every
1877 inhabitants. In Is years, from
1898 to 1913, the bank deposits in
creased more than 1000 per cent No
state in the Union exceeded this per-
centage of increase. The per capita
bank deposit In 1918 was $13S. In
1917, according to figures compiled by
the state commissioner of agriculture
and labor, 1t was $23595. Has any IL
cense state nearly doubled its per cap
ita bank deposit in four years? The
per capita wealth in 1917 was 1891.
Eighty per cent of the people Of the
state own their homes"
"North Dakota has the largest num-
Der of consolidated schools Of any
state In the Union. These give the
children In rural districts the advan-
tage of grade and high schools. An
amount exceeding $5,000,000 is ex-
pended on the common schools of the
state every year. The state has per-
petual endowment fund for schools
and institutions of $64,000,000. North
Dakota boasts the lowest juvenile de-
linQency rate of any state"

LIQUOR DRINKING UNpATRloTlc.

The American Lumberman well puts
1t thus
mo longer is the appeal for total
abstinence based upon emotional or
even upon moral grounds. Drinking
simply does not fit In with modern
standards of efficiency, and the indus
trial world is the most bitter opponent
that the liquor interests confront to-
day. Since the United States entered
into the war, the conviction also has
grown that in view of the necessity
for food conservation, as well as for
the highest measure of production in
all lines, indulgence In booze takes on
an unpatriotic aspect"

Two farmers met at the county seat
shortly after cyclone had visited

"Well, sir" said one of them, "she

any?"

farmer. II haven't found 1t yet"

Industry plays as essential and honor

truth OF this, but We must also see its neces-

ing unskilled labor in any manner except

TO respond as Loyalty As heretofore to any
calls issued by this agency for voluntary
