THEY STICK

The twin stars Of hope and confidence are shining
down into the hearts of the Slope country farmers in
spite of drouth, grasshoppers and the worst crop fail
ure in years. You can't drive them from the state they
have built up and reclaimed to democracy after a long
bitter struggle.
Listen to this from an enemy of the North Dakota
democracy and from a paper that shouted "red ruin"
if the League laws were adopted-The Minneapolis
Tribune:
Bismarck, N. D., July 22.-Thrifty South Dako-
ia farmers with an eye to a bargain especially
those Of German-Russian extraction, are focking
in great numbers to the Slope counties with a view
to picking up cheap lands there. In former years
of drouth many farms have been sacrificed and the
South Dakotans evidently have been of the opinion
that history would repeat itself. They are, how
ever, meeting with disappointment
While the drouth has hit many farmers hard, it
has found comparatively few who are not in a fnan-
cial position to weather the storm.
Few people on the outside can understand what is
in the hearts of the North Dakota farmers, or what new
bond grips their hearts and binds them to their state.
Ordinarily after years of encouragement and one of
almost disaster, the tillers of the soil pack their belong
ings and trek to a land more favored by nature. Here
we find men grimly determined in spite of natural ca
lamities to stay and fight it out.
The North Dakota farmer sticks for two supreme
reasons: He is building up a democracy and wants to
stay and fight it through; his faith and confidence in this
democracy and in the future of his state is simply
boundless.
Against such inward fires the storms Of adversely,
the ~visitations of natural c%alamities, the blasts Of fate
beat unavailingly. The North Dakota farmer is ire
mendously interested in the great struggle that is max
ing a new North Dakota out of the old North Dakota.
He doesn't care to miss a scene in this wonderful drama.
You can't pull him away till the curtain falls on the
last act. .
His confidence in the new regime and the prosperity
it will bring to all amounts to a religion and enables
L. L 1---I IL L. >1.-..A:.- A1oA --k..~1
brings. He is a man who is enamored of a vision born
out of a great cause and a long, patient struggle. That
is why the North Dakota farmer sticks in spite Of
drouth and grasshoppers and remains within the COM
monwealth he is helping to build, a permanent moral
and material asset of priceless value.

THE FACTORY OF THE TOWN

Why do the big centers of population which We call
cities make such an effort to attract new factories and
to. build up those they. have? Because their business
people realize that the growth Of the city depends on
the trade it has with the outside world and not ON the
trading the citizens do among themselves. The new
factory offers more employment and brings in new peo-
pie. These new people need houses to live in, they
need banking service, they add to the sales of grocery,
butcher, clothing, drug stores. There is a large amount
of profit in the new business for those on the ground
because the handling Of it requires only a little addi-
tional expense. ,
But how about the small town? Must it despair of
growth because it can not attract factories Of the kind
the big city has? By no means. It has at hand, ~as a
matter of fact, an important kind Of factory on which
it depends not only for growth but for existence-the
farm. The farms surrounding any town have the same
relation to it that factories do to the large city. They
supply the trade with the outside world and the farm
ers within it's trading area are as much a part of it as
the factory employers and employees are a part Of the
city.
The small town is prosperous if it has prosperous
farming around it. It grows if the business of the
farmers in the community is growing. The problem
of growth for the small town, therefore, is not so diff
fcult as some imagine. I. lies in promoting farm pros
perity, and on this point the farmers, like the factory
managers, are the best judges of policies. -
A cooperative elevator may, for instance, hit a num-
Der of prominent local men, but it makes the handling
of grain cheaper and so encourages great acreage, more
banking, more money coming into the town. Cooper
alive creameries, potato warehouses, farmers mutual
insurance have similar effects.
Another great possibility for the town lies in the pro-
cessing and storing of raw farm products. The Non
partisan league farmers who are demanding this in
their program for their own prosperity are at the same
time laying the foundations for greater town growth.

, In spite of the fact that the people adopted the sew
en- referred laws by substantial majorities 1. V. A.. lead
es are going right on with the fight. At a series Of
meetings during fair week in Fargo the plan to in
itiate laws to take the place of the printing law and
the educational measure was supported by a strong fac
ton. This faction. by-the-way was made up largely
of the element which depends on I. v. A. activities for
jobs, and lives on it's political wits. An initiative cam
paign and election would give it jobs, supply it oppor-
tunity for graft, provide a use for outside slush funds,
and enable it to make an accounting of itself to the
big interests bent on the destruction Of democracy in
North Dakota. AS to the outcome of the election, why
should these fellows worry, since the people of North
Dakota will have to pay the bill?
Isn't it funny that every time the common people
meet together nowadays and write platforms they put
in a large public ownership order. The new Ohio labor
party demands public ownership Of the railroads, tele-
graphs, telephones, merchant marine and mines. They
declared for the city ownership Of AL municipal util-
tiles and the cooperative management Of industry by
the workers and employers. There Is . reason ottthis.

drawing from a medieval book, shows a typical inn in northern Europe. The vessel that brought the wine is moor ed to the wharf. It had probably come from Spain. Italy or France. On a pole protruding from a window may be seen something that might be talk. en for a Christmas wreath. It was called a bush a sign that told all who saw it that there was wine for sale within. Shakespeare says in "As You Like It. that "Good wine needs no bush," familiar line that has per haps puzzled some people who are un- able to see any reason why wine and bush should be coupled in the same sentence.
 Before the world of trade was 50 civilized as to enable people in all lands to buy the products of other re- mote places, there was little wine con- sumed in the north and little beer in the south. All the northern peoples seem to have discovered for them

selves how to make beer and ale. All classes drank them, although the up- per classes seem to have preferred wine and mead. But in Beowulf it is related that "At times before the nobles Hrothgar's daughter to the earls in order the ale cup bore"
 In another medieval manuscript. a youth when asked what he drank re- piled, Ale, if I have 1t; water, if I have 1t not" When someone asked him why he did not drink wine, he re- piled, 'I am not so rich that I can buy me wine; and wine is not the drink of children or the weak-mfnded but of the elders and the wise.
 Some vineyards were planted in England and some wine was made from the grapes, but it was probably never a large amount. In Germany Charlemagne Is alleged to have been the first to plant a vineyard on the Rhine, where today the land is care-

Alcoholic beverages were as much liked in medieval times as In the an- cfent days of Greece and Rome; but 1t is difficult to find out as much about them. But there is sufficient evidence to prove that the hardy warriors who lived in northern Europe were not much more absteminous than the races who dwelt in warmer lands.
 The German tribes retained their fondness for beer, which they dis played when they were first known to the Romans, and they added a taste for the wines that they found in their vanda1 raids into the south. The Vikings of Denmark and Norway drank deeply and they took this habit with them wherever they roved. In Russia, France, Great Britain and practically every country in Europe it is impossible to go back to a time when the people did not know how to get intoxicated.

 But mead seems to have been most highly regarded of all medic alcoholic drinks, although it's lure was largely confined to the nobility and conse- quent4y it could. hardly have been as common as ale and beer. Mead was made from water and hops which was fermented. It was usually drunk from horns of oxen, but some mead fashioned from ivory. The shell was conductive to hard drinking as horns could not be put down until they were emptied. One receipt for making mead, as given by the Swed- ish writer. Claus Magnus, commended a mixture of one part of honey to four of boiling water, which was well stir rcd, boiled and skinned. Hops were then added, the mixture was put into casks and brewers yeast put in. After being strained it was said to be ready for drinking in eight days
