The local editor is personally known
to his readers. An advertisement ii
the local paper attracts attention be-
cause it is published by q friend.
The reader of the country news
paper is the purchaser Of goods Of
all kinds, from the paint on the roof
to the cement in the cellar floor. Fur
%niture, clothes, books, automobiles
everything from a can Of cardines to
a Z passenger automobile can be sold
thru the country newspaper more &C.
onomically, more certainly than in
any other way.
Every country editor is a salesman,
controlling from five hundred to five
thousand first class American custo-
mers.
And that country editor is the only
salesman who can reach that tre-
mendous buying public. Big business
men, alert advertising agents, should
remember this. The country WI
papers advertising columns repres-
ent for the able advertiser an unde-
veloped gold mine.

OLD STUFF.

When prehistoric man brought down
a mammoth,
His friends all fiocked to eat, and
said the he
AS a hunter was a wonder, the
neighborhood's big thunder,
And made that man as proud as he
could be.
Bye and bye some other hunter killed
q mammoth,
When it came to take some water
thru it's trunk,
And all his joyous neighbors, quit
ting quick their daily labors,
Came and handed him the same old

The world is changing every day, we
know it,
And folks are changing with it

But whatever comes and goes, still

The worship of the thing we call

THE DAWN OF A BETTER DAY.

Events presaging the near approach of the time when all
public utilities, both natural and artificial, shall be owned and adj
ministered by the people as represented by the Government are
succeeding each other in a manner so rapid as to be simply be-
whdering, even to those who have long dreamed Of and hoped for
such a consumation. Municipalities and communities which but
lately were Indifferent orr else almost unanimously in favor of
things as they are and always have been" and therefore unalter-
ably opposed to anything savoring of a change in the existing or
cities or communities have in the past been most shamefuly ex-
plotted by, for and in the interests of capital, and are taking the
necessary steps toward municipal control, which can mean but one
thing-ultimate municipal ownership. Eau Claire, Wisconsin, a
by the victory won by the advocates of the municipal fuel and
ice plant at Oshkosh, will vote on the question of bonding the
city for the establishment of a municipal fuel and ice plant at the
coming Spring election, and the proponents of the measure are
very sanguine of it's adoption by the electorate. The city of Seat
tie is about to open a fish stall in the public market of that city
cents per pound by so doing.
The stockholders of the Farmers Equity Union Creamery and
Mercantile exchange, at Aberdeen, South Dakota, met in annual
session in that city recently and were greeted with the announce
declared on the business transacted during the past year. o. H.
Bratesberg, of Reeder, North Dakota, reports that a profit of at
least $4,000 has been made by the farmers of the two Dakotas
who shipped their cream to the Equity creamery at that place.
He also pointed out that the working capital for the twenty-five
months of the concerns existence had been until recently less
than $4,000. A bill to authorize the Government to take pos
session, upon executive order, of all oil land set aside as naval
reserves in California and Wyoming was introduced in the United
States senate on the 10th inst, and there appears to be no doubt
of it's speedy enactment into law, it's sponsor being Senator
cases similar to the foregoing, all tending to show the present
trend of the popular thought as being towards governmental or
municipal ownership or control of public utilities. That which
was regarded as rank heresy, bordering on anarchisrn, but a few
short years ago is now calmly accepted as a matter of course if not
actually hailed with acclaim by the majority of the people. Truly
"the world do move" and at no time has it moved so rapidly and in
q direction so greatly to be desired as it is doing in the opening
days of 1918.

PROGRESS.

In days of old, so we've been told,
The strong man ruled the cliffs;
He took a club to any dub,
Sans ~wherefores, butts or ifs.
And then took of the weaker's wealth
Whatever he thought right;
He did this while he kept his health,
But after that-good night!
These modern days have modern ways
To turn the primal trick;
The smallest shrimp, whose grip is
limp,
May swing the biggest stick;
And strong men gladly work for him
For part of what is theirs,
And then, when death has doused his
glim,
Keep working for his heirs-R.

farmers paper was reprinted in the
Fargo Forum, Of course. However,
the For-'em failed to add a wide diff
ference that exists between it and
the official organ Of Northwestern
farmers, and that is while the Lead
er is printed in st. Paul it gets its
inspiration from the hearts and
minds Of the farmers and workers
throughout the prairie country, while
the Forum, printed in Fargo, gets its
political lunches from the big bust
ness interests Of st. Paul and other
cities. Quite a difference, we say.

EXCHANGE EXPRESSIONS.
The Equity and the League.

Among those who long for that
glad day to come when the farmer
will cease from organizing and give
his interest in state government a
rest, there is a certain gleeful atti-
tude of anticipation towards the COM
ing annual meeting of the Society of
Equity, which is to be held in VAL
ley City next month. These astute
persons know that there is a chance
for n grand scrap at that meeting
and even a possibility of starting a
division among the farmers that may
wreck both the Equity and the Non
partisan organizations. This wreck,
Of course, will not come immediate
", but the quarrel if we'll engineered
and adroitly played upon can be used
to split the solid log of farmer or
g~anization.
This is not a chimera, by any
means. The aim Of both the Equity
and the League is the same, but the
roads by which each proposes to gain
that end are vitality different. The
Equity says: LET the farmers own
the elevators, the grain business, the
st~ockyards, the creamery industry;
let him organize corporations and
combine his buying power and BY
cooperation prevent the middleman
from getting the profits Of the farm
ers' labor" That program has made
no little progress in this state-and
it has good sound business sense In
it. The Nonpartisan League propose
es q different, and a swifter, method.
1t says:
"Let the farmers own the state and
the state own the elevators, the grain
business, the stockyards and the
creamery industry; let the state put
up the money and give to the farmer
some Of the privileges that have been
given hereto only to certain inter
ests." It is easy to see that, between
the protagonists for each method
there is every chance for friction.
No well informed or candid per-
son will deny that some friction has
developed. That is natural. The
Equity was in the field earlier and
bore the burden and heat Of the day,
The old gang, that now pretends I'd
see in it the only right way for the
farmer to organize, but q few years
ago fought it as bitterly as ii fights
the League today, nor was that gana

LET HIM v

As long as the flowers their perfume give,
So long I'd let the Kaiser live
Live and live for a million years,
With nothing to drink but Belgian tears.
| would let him live on a dinner each day,
Served from silver on a golden tray
Served with things both dainty and sweet
Served with everything but things to eat.
I'd make him a bed Of silken sheen,
With costly linen to lie between,
With covers of down and fllets Of lace,
And downy pillows piled in place;
Yet when to it's comfort he would yield,
It should stink with rot of the battlefield,
And blood and bones and brains of men
Should cover him, smother hin-and then
His pillows should cling with the rotten sod
Sod from the grave of soldier lad.
And while Gods stars their virgils keep,
And while the waves the white sands sweep,
ne should never, never, never sleep.
And through the days, through all the years.
There should be an anthem in his ears
Ringing and singing and never done
From the edge of light to the set of sun,
Moaning and moaning and moaning wild
A ravlshed French girls bastard child!
/ would build him a castle by the sea,
As lovely q castle as ever could be;
Then "a show him a ship from over the sea,
AS fine a ship as ever could be-;
Laden with water cold and sweet,
Laden with everything good to eat;
Yet scarce does she touch the silvered sands,
Than a hot and h Ills ms molten sssy she'll aIno''
Should change his heaven into hell.
In "No Mans Land" where the Irish fell,
Id start the Kaiser a private hell;
I'd jab him, stab him, give him gas;
In every wound I pour ground glass; j,
I'd march him out whefe the brave boys died
Out past the lads he crucifed.
In the fearful gloom of his living tomb
There is one thing I'd do before I was through;
La make, him sing, in a stirring manner,
The wonderful words of "The Star Spangled Banner"

Government Ownership is Coming.
(Park River Gazette-News.)

(Park River Gazette-News.)
The railroad interests in this coun-
try r not in favor Of government
ownership. The present status Of
the railroads is government control,
which is quite different from the
former. The financial editor Of the
Chicago Tribune estimated that the
day after the presidents proclamation
there was added 81, zoe, O00, zoo, to the
value Of railroad securities. The
reason for the advance, it is stated,
was that there was mo hint Of gov
eminent ownership in the proclama-
ton. This stimulates the market
price Of stocks. Government control
is step better than private owner
ship, and it is hoped that this step
will ultimately lead to government
ownership.

that slap in the face given the Equi.

that slap in the face given the Eaui-
ty, out of the humiliation felt by the
farmers connected with the EQUITY at
that time, came the political move
ment that we know as the Nonparti-
san League. It was the only answer
possible and like everything logical
and fateful-it grew twice as rapid
" as the older Equity and almost ov-
ershadowed it. It is to be expected
that there might be a little envy or
perhaps some resentment among SIM
on-pure Equity members against the
greater and the political organization
that. has outgrown it. Yet there are
few Equity men who are not Leaguers
though there are many Leaguers who
r not interested in Equity propa-
ganda.
If friction can be developed at the
Valley City meeting-it certainly
will be. If even a small amount is
in evidence, you al depend having
the minute details rehashed to YOU
unreservedly. Hence the gleeful an
ticipations. Hence the necessity for
making the meeting one of strictly
business and without any entangling
political alliances, if the greatest
good to the farmer is to be the first
thought of those who attend it.
