BUILD THAT SILo

All the people in the world eat from
one to four times day. Is not the
producer of food assured of a good
market2 Nearly the whole world is
hungry since the great war and most
of them are looking to the American
farmer for relief and protection from
starvation A wonderful market is
before u.s.
You cannot change the market price
of stock and stock products but you
can change the cost of producing
them Economic production is the
great question before the producer,
and the si1o is the answer
With the silo man can keep tvi .e
as much live stock on his farm, he
can produce butter from ten tic fifteen
cents a pound cheaper, beef from one
dollar to two dollars per hundred
cheaper, mutton from one dollar to
one dollar and fifty cents cheaper per
hundred, milk from forty to sixty
cents per hundred cheaper, cheese
from ten to fifteen cents a pound less,
the expense of feeding a horse thirty
or forty dollars per year less, and so
on Such vast difference in the cost
of production will mean success or
failure The man without a siIo can
not compete with the man who has

ORIGINATED kANRED WHEAT

1t was former Kingman county
man Mark A Carlton, who developed
and originated the strain of wheat
known as Kanred which was so sue
cessful in Kansas this year.
Carlton was professor of botany and
allied sciences at the old Garfield Uni
versity of Wichita, now Friends, in
the early nineties. He went into spec
ia1 work with the agricultural depart
ment at Washington and was there for
many years, but more recently has
Joined with an agricultural society
which pays him more money than the
government can afford.
Carlton early experimental with
crossing the best variety of turkey
wheat with soft wheat, so far as to
get the hardy constitution of the for
mer and the berry yielding qualities
of the other. His experiments finally
secured for him a wheat which at first
he was going to name kansas Red"
but which he subsequently shortened
into fKanred. "-Hutchison News

NEVER DAzzLED BY POWER
Nothing. but Purest Patriotism Ever
Actuated Washington in Any Of
His Official Acts.

Tt was not necessary for Washing
ton to thrice put aside a crown, as
did Caesar, for the authors of the
communication to Washington knew
foo well the character of the man and
that it would be impossible to in any
way swerve him from his expressed
resolve.
In perfect keeping with the spirit
in which Washington treated the daz-
zling offer which was SO unexpectedly
set before him, was the simplicity of
his conduct in bidding adieu to his
aomrades-in-arms, and then presenting
himself before congress, there to de-
liver up his sword and voluntarily di-
vest himself of the supreme command.
Washington assembled his army for
the last time at Newburgh. TO the
tune of "Roslin Castle'--the soldiers
dirge-his brave comrades passed
slowly by their great leader and filed
away to their respective homes.
Before congress at Annapolis on
December %, 1888, he delivered his
commission amid scenes almost as I'M
pressiye as his Ieave-taking from his
army. From that august body he re-
tired to his home at Mount Vernon,
with no thought of further honors
from his country, and it was with re-
luctance that he left his retirement
when chosen the first president of the
United States. s.

ing, it may be noted that government

serious consideration than it has yet
received
Cooperative Stores.
"MOre important and more effective
than any government regulation Of
prices would be the establishment of
cooperative stores. The enormous toll
taken from industry by. the various
classes of middlemen Is now fully real
lied. The astonishing difference be-
tween the price received by the pro-
has become a scandal to our industrial
system The obvious and direct means
of reducing this discrepancy and aboi-
iShing unnecessary middlemen is the
operation of retail and wholesale lner-
camille concerns under the ownership
and management of the consumers.
This is no Utopian scheme. 1t has
been successfully carried out in Eng
land and Scotland through the Roch-
dale system. Very few serious efforts
of this kind have been made in this
country because our people have not
felt the need Of these cooperative en-
terprises as keenly as the European
working classes and because we have
been too impatient and too individual
istic to make the necessary sacrifices
and to be content with moderate bene-
fits and gradual progress. ( Neverthe-
less our superior energy, initiative and
commercial capacity will enable us
once we set about the. task earnestly
even to surpass what has been done in
England and Scotland
Train to Habits of Saving.
SIN addition to reducing the cost Of
living, the cooperative stores would
train our working people and con-
sumers generally in habits Of saving, III
careful expenditure, in business meth
DDS and in the capacity for co-onera-
ton. When the working classes have
learned to make the sacrifices and to
exercise the patience required by the
ownership and operation of co-opera-
tive stores they will be equipped to un-
dertake q great variety of tasks and
projects which benefit the community
Immediately and all its constituent
members ultimately. They will then
realize the folly of excessive selfish
ness and senseless individualism Until
they have acquired this knowledge,
training and capacity, desirable extern
sions of governmental action In indus
try will not be attended by normal
amount Of success. No machinery Of
government can operate automatically,
and no official and bureaucratic admin.
istration of such machinery can ever
be a substitute for intelligent interest
and cooperation by the individuals of
the community.

When Washington Was Abused.

In the Morris house on August H.
1895, Washington signed the Jay treaty
with England, losing thereby most of
his remnant of support in the house of
representatives. Abuse eliminated in
the serious suggestion to impeach him.
The constitution having for obvious
reasons confined the treaty making
power to the executive and the SEN
ate, Washington refused to grant the
request of the house of representatives
for the correspondence leading up to
the treaty. The storm of Indignation
that followed did not spare even his
personal character. "A Calm Obsery-
err" stated in a newspaper that Wash
ington had stolen S4,750.

Reduction in Cost Of Living.

During the war the cost of living
Las risen at least seyenty-five per cent.
above the level of 1913 Some check
has been placed upon the upward trend
by government fixing Of prices in the
case of bread and coal and few other
commodities. Even if we believe it de-
sirable we cannot ask that the govern
ment continue this action after the ar
ticles of peace have been signed, for
neither public opinion nor Congress Is
ready for such a revolutionary policy.
If the extortionate practices of monop-
oily were prevented by adequate laws
and adequate law enforcement prices
would automatically be Kept at as low
a level as that to which they might be
brought by direct government deterIni-
nation Just what laws in addition to
those already on the statute books are
necessary to abolish monopolistic ex-
tortion is a question of detail that
need not be considered here. III pass
ing, it may be noted that government
competition with monopolies that can
not be effectively restrained by the or
binary antitrust laws deserves more
serious consideration than it has yet
received .s

A HARVEST FESTIVAL

The pavilion in Seeman Park has
been completed. The building is all
enclosed with swinging sides all the
way around so that the place can be
made waterproof in bad weather, or
entirely opsn when the conditions are
good.
To celebrate the close of the sea-
son, arrangements are being made
for big two-day celebration the
last Of this month at the park. The
actual date has not yet been set, but
will be soon.
There will be entertainments Of all
kinds, a two-days' program, and
dancing both nights.
The Park is one Of the finest in the
Northwest and is being commented
on favorably far and wide. Hardly a
Sunday goes by that does not bring
people from many mile saround to
enjoy picnic dinner in the shade Of
its many large trees.
When the final arrangements are
announced for the Harvest Festival
It will be found that the event will
be well worth coming miles to enjoy.

CLAIM COMES TO PASS
MIX ON COUNTY SUPERVISOR

The selection of a tax supervisor
for Emmons county is proving to be
a cumbersome and long -drawn-out af-
fair under the ,recently-enactad law
providing for county tax supervisors.
The new law provides that the state
tax commissioner shall nominate and
the county commissioners approve be-
fore a county supervisor is secured.
About the first of July, the auditor
was requested by the tax commission
+er to have the board select tax sup
ervisor for Emmons county. The au-
ditor did so and the board passed a
unanimous resolution appointing A..
II. Irvine, veteran of the Spanish and
World Wars. Emil Hardt, league or
ganizer, and son Of league member
of the legislature from another dist
riot. was also an active applicant for
the position.
When Irvine was appointed, the
county auditor refused to accept his
oath because he claimed the appoint
ment did not comply with the provi-
sions Of the law. The fight then CEN
tered around the tax commissioner.
Last week, Commissioner Wallace Of
ficially appointed Irvine, and phoned
the county auditor to that effect. while
the commissioners were in session.
Tha Record understands that the
board then proposed to reindorse the
appointment, but that the auditor
stopped proceedings by telling them
they could take no official notice of a
phone message.
Since that time, the auditor has
stated that he has decided to have the
commissioners make no ratification.
and that the work would be handled
under the, direction Of the auditor.
The commissioners do not meet again
until next month.
In the meantime, Irvine cannot get
the auditor to accept his oath. AL
though his appointment is o. X. with
the commissioners and with the tax
commissioner, he still seams to be
unable to get going.
In view Of the fact that Auditor
Brant has allowed the fight to go for
Ifseveral months until irvine had finls
|,lys landed before coming to the con-
clusion that he could just as well do
the work himself, it would seem that
the appointment didn't go to suit the
Enmons county official.

Independent Newspapers Before Election, Claimed Edu-
cational Law Aimed to Reinstate Neil Macdonald
League Papers Branded Claims "Old Gang Lies," But
"Pigs is Pigs Macdonald Has Landed

The expected has happened. Afte,
spending columns of newspaper space
denying that the new educational Law
was meant to rainstate Neil Macdon-
aid, the board has finally turned the
trick.
Macdonald is now educational ad.
wiser and general school inspector" at
SO 900 per. His wife is assistant to
the certifiction clerk. Both are out
from under the Jurisdiction of the
state superintendent.
This is just another demonstration
Of the fact that the league bosses are
willing to claim anything or to brand
any statement a lie in prder to win
their point, and then-the public be
damned.
Here is the report of the meeting
of the educational board at which
Macdonald was fixed out. (Note the
joke about the salary. Macdonald
served as state superintendent for
two years at $4,000, and tried to get
the job again. Since the first of the
year, he has been hanging around the
capital waiting for job at salary
of nothing per year. Would he ac-
cept the $4,000. Well, / guess.)
Fears that North Dakota might not
be able to "get" Neil C. Macdonald for
$4,000 year were expressed by Pat
Casey, member of the board of ad-
ministration, when this body had un-
der consideration the creation of the
new post of educational adviser and
inspector general of rural schools. Be-
ing high-priced man himself, Casey
was not inclined to underestimate the
value of Mr.. Macdonald, who had been
nominated for the job and whose sal
ary had been fixed at $4,000.
"Do you think you can get him for
that" asked Mr.. Casey.
Il am opposed to paying any en-
ploye of this board more than men,
Der of the board is resolving" thun-
dered the very Rev. George A. Totten,
chairman of the board.
That ended Cassy's effort to boost
Macdonald stock.
Fire Opera BOuffe
The Macdonald appointment YVES
one of the neatest bits of opera bouffe
the board of administration has yet
staged. The members left this bit of
business for the close of the day.
Then, clearing his throat, Robert Muir
Of Sarles, Bill Lemke's brother-in-
law, arose and spoke his pieca, after
this fashion:
"This board is in need of expert adj
vice concerning rural schools. We need
someone who will be responsible to the
board for the expenditure of $300,O
a. year for rural schools. / think we
should have the position of educational
adviser and general school inspector,
responsible to the board"
Have you anyone in mind for this
position?" purrcd the Rev. George A.
Totten. \
IN. C. Macdonald and $4,000 a
year." replied Mr.. Muir. all in one

nounced an increase of Is cents per
month on phone rates for Linton, and
the said raise seems to be causing
considerable commotion locally. Sew
eral local people have refused to pay
the additional amount, and have been
notified that their phones would be
removed. It is said that legal action
will be taken to prev.nt the company
from making good the raise. as well

the phones.
