In experienced gardeners will be puz-
zled perhaps by the question OF the
quantity of seeds to buy and plant.
Seeds are more expensive than they
used to be, and the ordinary and 10
packages do not contain as many seeds
as formerly. However most of these
packages have directions printed on
them giving the feet of drills or rows
the seeds in the package will plant.
These directions are usually reliable.
Because seeds are expensive avoid be-
ing wasteful and get away from the
inclination to plant a lot of perishaole
stuff. Lean in the other direction, and
plant three ourths of your ground to
vegetables that can be stored or cam
ned
Avoid wasting land. 1t is wasteful
to plant vegetables in small patches
or beds, with paths between and
around them Each path takes up so
much land that cannot be used. Plant
rows the long way of your garden
patch, if possible, or crosswise of 1t. IL
the rows are too long for the amount
of seed of one vegetable YOU wish to
plant seed the row to two or three diff
ferent kinds of vegetables. Walk D..
tween the rows and you will have just
that much more land to cultivate in
stead of letting some land lie idle
merely for paths. Vegetables planted
in long rows are more easily and more
quickly cultivated than in short rows
which is another advantage.

hard work to find anything deroga-
tory to publish about John Steen.-l
Advocate" But it isn't hard work to
find considerable which is derogatory
land then some) about the bunch that
is back Of Stems candidacy. Take
the bunch in Bottineau county who are
for Steen, for instance. There is LoI
Garden, a disappointed office-seeker:
Jake Gorder, a disappointed Office
seeker and who quit the league when
he found he couldn't run it; Ed. Berg,
|Eidsvold townships ex-assessor-states-
man, who would love to be a king
worshipper; Matt Johnson, who lost
q job in the court house sometime ago
and hasn't gotten over it yet; M. Tel
gen, the preacher-farmer-stock buyer
banker-real estate dealer-horse jock
ey-grain buyer-disappointed Office
seeker and what not? Drake, the edi-
tor of "Page's Echo" sometimes re-
ferred to as the Westhope Standard;
Falky, manager of the fake piano con-
test and who refused to contribute his
twenty-five dollars (Which was his al
lotment) toward the Red Cross soci-
ETY. until heckled thru the press; Wal
ter Lee, the "hee-haw" he-gossip edi-
tor of the Antler (anti)-American;
and Alex Hill, who, we understand,
has his eyes on the secretary to the
Railroad Commissioners job. A grand
bunch they are indeed. 1t is an abso-
lutte impossibility for Steen to over
come such derogatory support as that
and this contention of ours will be
proven when the primary election
shows Frazier nominated.
In the last issue of the Advocate
Matt names A. Milloy as a legislative
candidate of which the Democrats
may we'll be proud. This would in
dictate that Matt is trying to work
up into the "clay pipe" class. When
we see those "big guns" like Artie
and Matte admiring each other and
comparing their common experiences,
common characteristics and common
calibre (both 22) it reminds us Of
Scott's lines on the discussion be-

ment Of Governor Arthur Capper of
Kansas as a basis Of our complaint.
Mr.. Capper is not a Nonpartisan. The
Starbuck correspondent, who in the
past has shown a tendency for writ
ing history concerning some uninter-
ested individual in the European coun-
tries, does a little figuring in his ar
ticle attempting to excuse the great
leather interests, who have been pro-
fiteering in this country and to show
us as being wrong. We wish to ad-
wise that individual that recently
there was laid before congress, by the
federal trade. commission, charges of
excessive profiteering in American
shoes and leather. The federal com
mission showed that the profits Of the
leading leather manufacturers had in
creased from 100 to 400 per cent over
1915 and that profits in 1915 increas-
ed from 30 to 100 per cent over 1914.
In view of these unquestionable facts
from u government capital it would
appear that the Starbuck correspond
ent had better study the situation a
little more thoroly before attacking
us. Also, in view of the fact that
the aforementioned correspondent APP
parently does not know what he is
talking about we would advise him to
write a treatise on "Why There Are
Holes in Cheese" instead Of attempt
ing to make for our pa(y)-
triotic prOfteers.
"The Republicans of Bottineau coun-
ty have three creditable candidates
for the House in Messrs. Tyler, Bran
der and Thompson. The Democrats
have four who can be relied upon,
Messrs. Calvin, Dunbar, Milloy and
Daley. The voters will not be oblig-
ed to vote for legislators who repudi-
ate their observation-disclosures But
what is the specific platform Of the
aforementioned candidates? Let us
take one of them, he being typical Of
the opposition to the League, and an
alize his platform. In a debate at
Roth Arthur Milloy, one Of the above
mentioned candidates, stated as to his
stand on politics. ~ am working for
Arthur Milloy all of the time" Isn't
that some platform to come before
the public as a candidate for the leg
islature with? However, as the above
named candidates, with the exception
Of Mr.. .Milloy, have not as yet come
before the public with a platform and
inasmuch that they, like Mi1loy, are
opposed to the league it must be as
sumed that they r in the same boat
as Milloy. And we can assure the
voters that the anti-League candi-
dates will not go back on that plat
form Of working for themselves.

Dakisg cesnpssy tsss Discovery In
Ssgar Wakia1

With the world in the throes of
the greatest sugar famine In history,
an important discovery has been
made at the Pritts Baking company's
plant, 901 Bannock street, Denver,
where sugar is now being manufac-
tured without the aid Of sugar beets.
When the food administration cut
down the sugar allotment of this
company to forty-seven pounds a
month, officials declared they would
have to find some way to manufac-
ture their own sugar or go out Of
business. Now they are buying no
sugar at all, but are making their
own sugar for their bakery products
in this way:
Barley is moistened until it sprouts
and starts growing. Then it Is heat
ed and dried and the sprouts rubbed
off. The barley is roasted q trihe
and then cooked for seven or eight
hours, until it becomes broth. The
broth is next cooled. Corn starch is
then cooked into q regular corn
starch pudding. Tho barley is stirred
into the pudding and it reduces the
corn to sugar.
w. F. Pritts, head of the company,
is also An official of the United States
food administration for Colorado. He
is anxious to help the sugar conser-
walton campaign and therefore has
agreed to explain his sugar-making
process in every detail to all bakers
who are interested

WILL RECRUIT TANK
DRIVERS IN GUNNlSON

Good Americans who really want
to fight the Huns in one of the most
modern, effectual ard spectacular
ways of present times, are now to be
given an opportunity to join the
tank service without being qualified
as machinists, blacksmiths, acetylene
welders, etc, tho men with these
qualifications also will be received.
But men without these qualifica-
tions may enter, if they are possess
ed of good physique. good education
and desire to fight.
Lieutenant Cyrus Happy is the off:
Ger in chcarge of recruiting for the
tank service, and while his headquar-
ters for this region is in Denver, he
has decided to travel over the dis
trict and make dates for the receiv-
ing of applications at various points.
w. F. Brown, division general mana
ger of the Mountain States Tele-
phon and Telegraph company, is as
sistfng Lieutenant Happy in the ar
rangement of dates in the district
of his company, and in this connec-
tion has written District Manager
F. w. Rector, in this city, to assist
in the arrangements for the date in
Gunnison, which has been fixed for
Nov. z.
The tank service offers gratifica-
tion Of the desires Of real, red blood
ed Americans who wish to fight and
accomplish great results; it attracts
men who wish to experience effec-
tive adventure, and who have real
nerve; it Is therefore expected that
when Lieut.. Happy arrives Nov. z,
he will find number of the kind Of
men he is looking for awaiting him.
In this service the men will re-
ceive, in addition to meals, clothing,
and travel expenses, from $50 to $51
per month for service in the United
