swered satisfactorily, the solution Of
other questions, such as the supply Of
arms and munitions, ships and men,
will avail nothing.
The farmer is urged to produce as
much as possible.
They would like to have him pro-
duce more than is possible.
In producing the other things men
toned you would not think of using
men who never worked in machine
shops or ship yards.
You might find it necessary to en-
ploy unskilled labor for some Of the
less important work, but you would
employ only skilled mechanics, so far
as the same could be obtained.
Some people who have never tried
it think that anybody can do farm
work and produce crops and dairy
products, but the most effective way
to convince them to the contrary is
to have them try it.
Successful farming requires skill
ed and experienced farmers just as
much as the production Of other
things requires skilled mechanics.
The nation needs to retain men and
women on our farms who are so
trained as citizens, as we'll as farm
ers, as to be capable Of maintaining
our country life at a high standard.
The boys and girls on the farms are
not only taught industry and morali-
ty, but given an excellent business
training, and taught how gradually
to enrich the soil, improve farm ma
chinery, home appliances and better
methods have vastly improved the
condition of work and living on the
farm.
| But further improvements are need
ed to keep country life apace with the
rapidly improving city life.
In order to make the farmer more
efficient as producer, we must place
at his disposal the knowledge and
training that will permit him to an
swer the many perplexing questions
confronting him today.
We must direct our attention to-
ward the sons and daughters of the
farm
We hear a good deal today about
making the farmer more efficient
producer.
| believe one of the greatest prob
lens of today is that of the distribu'
ton of our farm crops.
1t is not always possible or profit
able for the producer to dispose of his
product direct to the consumer.
| believe every city should have
public market, or we might say 6
clearing house, where the products OF
the farm could be handled by a com
petent person. Another matter we
are interested in is the enactment o.
a law that will provide for commit
tee of arbitration which will have
power to try, and settle all difficulties
between the labor union and the EN-
ployer, thus saving a great interior
ence, unrest and disturbance in tn
business of the whole country.
Also in regard to laws pertaining
to length of working hours. If tn
price of everything the farmer buy
is based on an eight-hour ray, ant
time and one half or double time TO
all over time, then it is perfectly OBJ
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1918-01-03

vious that the prices of everything
the farmer sells should be based on
an eight hour day.
The organization Of farmers for
political action is merely symptom.
If there were not just grounds for
discont among farmers, there would
be no demand for such an organiZa-
ton.
Unless the Federal grain grades are
radically changed every wheat grow
err will become convert to united po-
litical action by farmers as a class.
Why should not the most numerous
class of our population have direct
representation Would the general
| level of our Legislature be lowered by
the introduction Of successful farmers
into their halls?
When we stop and consider the
great problems that are being solved,
and the greater problems that are to
be solved in the near future, isn't it
about time that this great organiza-
ton that is representing the organ
lied farmers Of this country was get
ting ''on the job" and demanding and
receiving recognition at the hands of
the government?
If the government is going to fix
| the price on what the farmer raises,
this oranization should be prepared
through some Of its offices to present
to the government in business way
facts and figures showing the actual
cost of production in different parts
Of the c2-lntry, and the margin of
profit that is necessary to allow to en-
courage increasing production.
When the railroads are appearing
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and demanding an increase
in rates, this organization should be
prepared to present the shippers side
of the proposition.
have only mentioned a few of the
great questions that are of vital m
terest to the American farmer, and
unless this organization is big enough
and broad enough to protect the farm
ers' interests in these matters, as well
as organized labor protects the inter
ests of labor, we are not doing oul
full duty.
These subjects and many others
that are vital to the interests OF or
ganzed agriculture, are advocated by
the Grange.
And we appeal to all farm clubs tc
join our ranks.
You not only have the advantages
that you now enjoy as club for dis
cussing questions Of community inter-
ests, but you have the advantage OF
cooperating with an organization that
includes thirty-three states with a
total membership Of over one million
members.
AS whole the condition Of the or
der is today the best in its history
It's membership the largest, and best
Of all, the hearts Of this large mem
bership are throbbing with interest te
aims, objects and efforts of the Or
der and swelling with pride in cog
nizance of our work so far accom-
plished. -

Merry Christmas! 1t sure is one for
me. The finest day you can imagine;
crisp, chily-but grateful sunshine
in every sheltered spot. And | feel
prime. What more could ask? Not
much, that's sure.
Last evening we marched over to
main camp, where fifteen thousand
Jackies were swarming on the parade
grounds in front of the Christmas
tree. Close by, in the breeze, the old
flag was waving in benevolence, even
higher than the glittering star at the
TOP of the tree. And talk about
Christmas trees, folks! 1t was the
finest one you can imagine. ! really

time and service in many a worthy
cause.
These we must answer, but we must
not be led astray with the thought
that Grange work can wait till after
the war.
A clarion call to duty must be
sounded. The fires on the Grange
altar must be kept burning sufficient
ly to illuminate the pathway toward
better things for the farmer.
The Grange is coordinator of all
rural forces.
The most patriotic service that we
today can render to those whom we
represent, the most patriotic service
we can render the nation and the
world, is to strengthen and extend ou1
organization and increase it's effic-
iency and usefulness.
The most pressing question before
US today is, how the country shall be
fed. Unless this question can be an.

The following clear-cut straight-to-
the-point declaration of Grange Inten-
ton has been put forth by the COM
mittee on Good of the Order.
We have been told by the leader of
our country that the supreme test of
America has come; what is true Of
the nation is true of our order.
Changes and new conditions are be-
fore US that we dare not even attempt
to foretell, but this we know, that no
change can come that will lessen the
value Of organization to rural life.
Every day brings closer home to
the American farmer his helplessness
as an individual, and the imperativ
need of organization of the proper
kind to aid him in his calling.
On every hand are demands for

anthems for about ten minutes, and if

Forty couples attended the Eastern
Star ball at the Masonic Temple Mon
day night and watched the old year
out. At twelve o'clock the dancing
ceased and there was silent prayer for
five minutes, after which the nationai
songs were sung. Atty. Chas. D.
Kelso gave a short patriotic address
which was well received. A delightful
luncheon was served. Music for the
occasion was furnished by Hovinds
orchestra. The beautiful lodge room
was decorated in an artistic manner.
