meeting the American OF Tuesday evening used these
words;
Grand Forks win get the big terminal elevator
and mill In the midst Of q speech to the farmers
. of the state, President A. c. Townley said he had
been told by Governor Frazier that the Industrial
commission advised Grand Forks as the mill location.
II am told the big mill will 80 to the city where
the business men have pledged themselves to be fair,".
said Mr. Townlsy. The vast throns Of farmers
cheered their approval. It was evident that any acc
ton Of the Industrial commission is satisfactory to
the men who grow the grain.
Nthis is q correct report Of what occurred IL is clear
that Mr.. Townley did not profess to be speaking for him
self. He did express approval Of the decision reported.
but, according to the above report, Mr.. Townley did not
merely express his own opinion that the plant should DO
located at Grand Forks. but declared that the. governor,
a member Of the industrial commission, had told him
that it would be placed here, and also told him why.
The question IL: Did Townley say what the Amsti-
can says he said, or does the American say that Townley
said something that he didn't say: Or, did Townley mis-
quote the governor? Or is It Mr.. Hagan who Is mistaken ?
Mr.. Haean says he didn't hear the speech, but he
knew what had been said. Mr.. Hasan being an alert state
onscial, 1t would be impossible for a statement Of that
kind to have been made in a public place by a man 80
conspicuous rs Mr.. Townley, on q matter Of state import
ance which is solely within the jurisdiction of Mr.. Hasan
and his two associates on the commission without full
knowledge Of tho fact coming to Mr.. Hagan's attention
within a very short time.
A rather significant fact is that when the average
man read anything about the location of this institution
he was less interested in what Townley said the governor
had told him than in what Townley might have told the
governor. Possibly some desire to remove or change the
popular impression as to where the real authority lies
may account for Mr.. Hagan's recent interview.
As to the location Of the institution itself, The Herald
has tried to keep its readers in touch with current de-
velopnents on the subject. For various rea>ons which
it has set forth 1t had regarded the selection of Grand
Forks as the location for this, industry as probable. 1t
has passed on to its readers current reports which have
seemed to have q bearing on the subject, and its state-
ments have been ACCOMPANIED by the explanation that
no ofncial action had been taken, by the commission.
That situation is unchanged. The desirability Of this
location remains just what it was, and The Herald is con-
hdent that in the near future the commission will an
nounce its selection.

COSTLY COLLECTIONS

Little accounts are sometimes eaten UP in the cost
OF the postage which Is required to carry on the CORE
spondence concerning them. But a little thing like that
1nx for the postage.
It wasn't postage in this case but railroad fare, and
han rent, and band hire, and things like that, cost money.
and, regardless Of who puts up the money. when the ex-
penditure is for the accomplishment Of a particular OBJ
jet, all Of It is properly chargeable against that result.
In this respect the recent Nonpartsan collection
meeting at Fargo recalls the grumpy mans comment
on the church supper given to raise money. He said:
"Eou go and buy a lot. of stuff, and your wife fixes 1t up.
and she takes it and gives it to the church, and you go
and buy some Of 1t again and eat It, and the church has
twenty five cents and a gas bill, and you are out two
dollars and a quarter"
Mr.. Townleys hallelutah meeting at Fargo last week
was called, according to the announcements. for the pur-
pose Of collecting money on that stack Of paper which
the Scandinavian American bank had been loaded up.
Each Of those bits Of paper represented an honest debt,
or It did not. The meeting did nothing to validate the
obligation. Each of those papers was colectable, or it
II it wasn't. all the bands and speeches that were in
evidence couldn't collect 1t. And the man who couldn't
or wouldn't redeem his paper wasn't there, anyway. He
either hadn't the price Of the trip or didn't want to
spend it.
However. it was a great meeting. a grand and slor-
ious gathering, and IL Townley is satisfied, the rest of
us needn't worry.

Mr.. Chapman is = Canadian. the editor Of q farm

Buy Cheaper Here

This week the Kendrick Store
Company shipped package of un-
derwear to travelling salesman in
Spokane. The salesman was here a
short time ago and seeing the prices
here he bought his winters supply.
And yet there are few wise folks
who believe they can buy goods
cheaper in the larger towns. Kend-
rick is a dandy trading point an if
the people in the Potlatch could
only see far enough ahead to COM
prehend the advantage this town
is to them as a trading point they
would throw every dollars worth of
business to Kendrlck that they
could. The larger the volume of
business that is done here, the larg-
er will be the stock of goods carried
by the merchants.

Answer Census Queries

Shortly after the first of the year
the census enumerators will be a.
round at your farm to ask you in
Vulnerable questions, which you are
supposed to answer. Many of the
questions, you will think, are sense
less, but careful analysis will con-
vince you that they were necessary
ones after all.
The date of taking the census was
changed from April, which has been
the customary time, to January, be-
cause the farmers have more time
to answer the questions and also
have their stock in better shape to
enumerate IN the census list.
The bureau of the census defines
farm as follows: "a farm for CEN
sus purposes is all the land which is
directly farmed by one person con-
Quoting agricultural operations,
either by his own labor or by the
assistance of members of his house
hold or hired employees"
A farm must cover not less than
three acres of ground and must be
large enough to yield products an
nually to the value of $3.50, or
more.
Much of the information that is
secured by the census enumerator
will be used by the department of
agriculture and will be of great
value in securing data that will aid
in solving some of the problems
that are put up to the department.

Those Awful Roads

If anyone has the idea that the
roads in this country are good
enough for a mountain goat to
travel over, he ought to get into
car and drive up few of the grades
leading out of Kendrick. From
now until late in the spring the
roads will be positively unfit for
traffic unless we are foMunate
enough to get sufficient snow to
bury them. We have no one to
blame but ourselves for this uns
pleasant condition. If the various
communities surrounding Kendrick
would get together and talk roads
with the definite object IN view of
getting roads, it would be but
matter of a year or two until every
ridge in the Potlatch country would
be traversed by a fine five percent
gravel road. We let too many
small obstacles stand in the way of
the main idea. We are scared to
death of the expense involved and
yet are throwing money away every
year on the expensive method of
hauling over roads that are hardly
fit to travel over on horseback.
It's fact that the average land
owner buys a car in which he in
vests $500 or $4,000, and gives
very little thought to the invest
ment, but if he were asked to add
an extra $1,000, to the investment so
that decent roads might be built
that would double the life of the
car, the amount would stagger him
and he might honestly believe that
he couldn't afford to pat that a.
mount OF money in roads.
Instead of holding back and dodg.
ing the issue, why don't we get to-
gether and simply demand that
good roads be built? One of the
greatest pleasures the farmer anc
his family have is their car. ever
though they have to put it in cole
storage for six months in the year
If they could get twice as much ust
out of it with practically the same
expense as formerly, they woult
certainly be willing to pay for th'
added service. With smooth road
that could be travelled the yea
round the decreased up-keep on th'
car would pay for the double ser
vice they were getting.
