riotic and have gone over the top on
every bond issue, War Saving Stamp
and Red Cross campaign. To cite a
little instance: An owner of 800
acres Of virgin soil offered the Red
Cross the use of his farm for two
years if they would clear off what
rock there was on it and break it up.
This offer was quickly accepted and
fifteen hundred business men and
farmers around Minot gathered and
hauled all the rock and piled them up
nicely in two hours. Then the great
machinery manufacturing concerns,
every one anxious to demonstrate the
good points of their farm engines, vol
unteered to break it on a certain date
following the cleaning off of the rock.
There were forty different tractors,
made by as many different manufac-
turers, and one of the most splendid
exhibits of breaking and blowing ever
witnessed was pulled off, fifteen thous-
and people witnessing the contest;
there were over seven thousand auto
mobiles surrounding this tractor dem
onstration exhibit. Thousands of
farmers and city people came to see
Cne cOIlIeSI. Inc WOfk Was pIdCClCSlIy
done in day and the following week
hundreds of farmers volunteered to
put on their discs and harrows and
put the ground in shape for next
years crop and when completed made
the gardener who cultivates $1,000 an
acre land look envious at the splendid
condition of this 320-acre tract. Mi

Just a few words about our school
system. North Dakota's constitution
wisely provided for it's schools and to-
day we have practically one hundred
million dollars saved up for public
schools. Our constitution also gives
US absolute prohibition, and we were
one of the first states in the dry ter
ritory. Telephone lines, rural routes
and deliveries of all kinds exceed if
not excel the other states Of the East.
Stock farms and stock land can be
procured for from $3.50 to $25 an
acre, the best farms can be procured
for from $50 to $50 an acre, which is
very cheap considering the splendid
opportunities for making money.

homestead. The best prof Of it's won
derful success is the mute evidence
that you can see on every hand the
beautiful homes, groves and splendid
farms, we'll stocked with fine cattle,
horses, hogs and sheep.
No country on earth can show such
vast improvements in the last eigh-
teen years as the Mouse River Valley.
Many of these farms contain thirty
thousand dollars worth Of improve
ments, with large elevators and mag
nificent homes, modern and right up
to the minute, produced from profits
of farming within the last eighteen
years.
The prospects for crop this year
were never better, up to this date, and
with the usual rains that come about
July LIST, we can we'll maintain our
slogan, "the breadbasket of the
world"
If there is any criticism to be made
of the farming conditions of this coun-
try it is that people are too prosper
GUS and try to farm too much, it is
nothing unusual for one man to handle
a whole section alone, and under those
conditions they have raised wheat on
the same field for fifteen years with
out returning anything to the soil, and
it is still good.
What we need most is some of those
careful, splendid farmers from the
east to help us divide up those farms
into quarter sections and farm it as it
should be farmed. When properly
farmed this Mouse River Valley will
produce crop year after year with
out any doubt, and the armers are
getting wise to the fact that they
must farm it according to the climate.
There is an old saying that wet wea-
Their starves man to- death and dry
weather scares him to death. We pre-
fer the semi-dry farming and be sure:
It is the easiest matter in the world
to conserve the moisture and handle
this farming proposition just as you
would like it, under these conditions
crop failures would be unknown; that
means deep blowing, conserving mols-
ture and handling all kinds of stock IN
business-like manner.
Farmers in this community are par
ticularly fortunte in their market as
we are so situated that we get the
best prices and can ship or receive
goods from either coast. We figure
that when this Great War is over the
international line between Canada and
the United States will be practically
obliterated and we can do business
both in and out of Minot through
Western Canada and to either Coast.
Minot is destined to be the largest
CITY in North Dakota and fortunate in
deed will be the man who selects a
farm in the Mouse River Valley, of
which Minot is the center, where the
markets are unlimited. The surprising
thing in travelling over this section of
the country is to see the vast amount
of stock of all kinds raised in this
community.
The people of North Dakota are
generally considered the finest, most
friendly class Of people of any state
in the Union. Why shouldn't it be
so, as it was settled by the progress
sive people from every state in the
Union and from the best countries OF
Europe. The people are big-hearted,
tolerant and friendly. They are pat

Compliance with Requests for Special
Gifts to Soldiers Impracticable

Because of conditions which
interfere with the carrying out of
the desire, it is urged that per
sons in the states desist from ask
ing that particular articles be sent
to specific soldiers in service abroad.
The headquarters of the American
Red Cross in France has been re
ceiving a great many requests from
parents in this country to supply
such things as manicure sets,
scissors, and other non essential
articles as we'll as some essential
things--to men of the American
Expeditionary Forces. The re
quests in question frequently origi-
nate with the soldiers themselves,
and are sent home and then back to
France, reaching the Red Cross
headquarters either through Wash
ington or directly from the man s
parents or friends At any rate.
by the time the Red Cross Organiza-
tion receives the request, the men
have moved, or it is almost certain
that their wants have been supplied.
In a letter received at the Wash
ington Headquarters on this subject
the fact is emphasized that the Red
Cross does not desire to avoid any
responsibility whatever in looking
after the welfare of the American
soldiers. But it is pointed out that
it would be useless and impracti-
cable to attempt to comply with re-
quests of the kind mentioned, and
a great deal of annoyance and posi-
BILE disappointment would be pre-
vented by a thorough understand
ing of the situation on the part of
the people at home. It is earnestly
desired that parents desist from
such appeals. They may rest
assured that the Red Cross, in its
own systematic way, is doing
everything imaginable of the prac-
tical sort to supply the wants of the
soldiers.
