GEESE ON THE FARM

The National bird for the Thanks
giving season is losing in favor of
roast goose and this state is admir-
ably fitted for the raising of these
fowls which do not require the body
Of water as is generally supposed.
The Toulouse goose is the prime
favorite with the Emblem running a
very close second either of which
should weigh in the neighborhood of
20 pounds when full grown.
Who cannot recall the old time
feather bed" tick which grandmother
always had on the bed at home and
who cannot remember the comfortable
feeling it impaired when they crawled
into bed on the cold winter nights and
with a feather pillow for a head rest
one could not help but be rested in
the morning.
One who raises geese cannot afford
to waste the feathers which can be
removed at certain seasons Of the
year without being detrimental to the
goose and with this additional profit
to the fowl itself would make a hand
some increase to the profits Of the
North Dakota farm.

RECORD CROWD
ATTENDS FAIR
ATTENDANCE ESTIMATED AT
5000 PEOPLE FOR LAST DAY
OF FAIR

The Bottineau County Fair for 1919
came to close last night with the
largest attendance ever. Between 5000
and 1000 people we're present the
first day, while the crowd the second
day reached 5000.
The fair in every way was a grand
success, the exhibits, the free att1c-
tions and everything on the grounds.
Probably the best horse racing eyer
staged on the fair ground track WAS
that of this year. Starter Delaney
of Valley City getting every heat off
IN good order, and every race was
closely contested.
While the entries in number of the
departments were smaller than last
year everything was of the best qanl-
ity.
Reports from the various depart
ments have not been made as The
Courant goes to press and therefore
it is impossible to go into detail this
week.
The Million Dollar Band furnished
the music during the two days and did
splendid work.
The ball game the first morning be-
tween Bottineau and Upham was won
by Bottineau with a score of Is to 2.
The game Wednesday evening was the
best at the fair, in which Willow City
and Omemee were pitted against each
other. Ten innings were necessary to
decide the winner, Omemee getting 2
runs to Willow City's 1. Thursday
morning Westhope and Delorainc
crossed bats, the former winning with
with score of to 2. Thursday even
ing an extra ball game was staged be-
tween teams composed Of Americans
and Canadians. The Canadians won
this game with a score of II to 9.
Geo. E. Vosburg, local Delco-Light
dealer supplied light for everything.
The Bottineau County Fair is rec
ognized as the best county fair in the
state of North Dakota and each year
not only holds it's own with former
years, but surpasses.
The Grand Stand and car parking
space will have to be enlarged upon
to accommodate the crowds as prov

OHIO PROFESSOR AMAZED

DR.. Augustus r. Hatton, professor
of political science at Western Re-
serve University, Cleveland, O., spoke
at the weekly monday lunch at Gov.
Frazier's office this week. He had
spent several days in Bismarck study
ing the new laws, and talking Of them
among other things said: mo move
ment is attracting as much attention
from thinking people in the esat as
the Nonpartisan League. And let me
say, land DR.. Hatton smiled as he said
it, 'that the farther away from North
Dakota one hears people talk Of the
League, the more it is misrepresented.
The reason you have some people wor-
ried is because your movement is ef-
fective. If it were not, no one would
be worried. North Dakotans haye
committed themselves unreservedly
for the doctrine of majority rule and
the majority is ruling at present. The
sheer common sense there is no or
ganization like the Nonpartisan
League. It is the most amazing thing
I have conceived. You've got to hold
together now. II you succeed the re-

With the terms that have been pub
ished few people agree. Some looked
for harsher treatment Of Germany,
something on the order Of national de-
struction, but such people are few.
They are those who easily get lost
IN the mire Of jingoism and war-born
International hate. The usual atti-
tude is disagreement with one or moro
terms, sss
Those Who difagree are moved by
the feeling that the basis for lasting
peace has nat heen found and by hu-

Now it's the Washington State Fed
Grafton cf / Labor that is indorsing in
dependent political action. There was
no big fight against it at the recent
Bellingham convention. They talked
the triple alliance-federation of Ia
Dor, railway men and farmers-and
everybody said, "Iet's Co." Every
thing from dog catcher to United
States senator is the object of this
alliance for 1920.
And this slogan, by the way, is an
excellent parallel to the League farm
ers' well Stick" Labor has been
divided between the two old parties;
it has begged in vain for remedial
legislation from the gang politicians
in office; it has seen what North Da-
kota labor has received through unit
ed action against special privilege. So
now, as in ancient Egypt when the
1sraelites decided that the way to
escape slavery was to escape, a
mighty cry passes through the ranks
Of organized labor of Lets Co."

The German representatives have
at last signed the treaty drawn up at
Paris, and likewise all the allied pow
ers except China. And the news is
received with little concern except in
official circles. Perhaps the people
have been waiting 80 long and ex-
pecting so long the official ending of
the war that they could not become
excited over the actual event.
Wilson has followed the signing
with public statement sanctioping
the whole treaty. He declares it q
"charter for q new order of AFFAIRS -
that it "makes international law q
reality" and that there is ground
here for deep satisfaction, universal
reinsurance and confident hope" Peo-
pie differ now as to what Wilson's as
suraces are worth, and many who
thought the Ia points meant what the
average person would think they
meant, naturally will sprinkle lot
Of salt on these assurances.
We have not seen the treaty that
Germany signed.

STATE HELPS IN
DRAINAGE PLAN
FARMERS ADMINISTRATION TO
GIVE AID AND GET RESULTS
IN FLOOD CONTROL

4AO p4C0OAI AoAuuCIo S1u1A1114SGAe eC4OA
Of state government in North Dakota
has been the first in any state in the
Red River valley to start definite work
towards relieving the farmers in that
area from the enormous losses from
floods in the Red River Valley. Losses
to farmers in the three years Of great
foods-1915 to 1917-were over fif-
teen million dollars for each year. For
this, the state government nt-legisla-
tive and executive-is entitled to and
is given credit by those who have
been benefited.
Through the active interest and sup
port of the work, Governor Frazier,
State Drainage Engineer, Hard, has
been able not only to begin active
work in the field, but also to secure
$4O,000.00 Of aid from the United
States government for the necessary
engineering work.
The recent legislature wisely made
provision for securing federal a'd and
for carrying on the work in the next
two years. Two years ago the legis-
lature established the Boundary
Drainage and Flood Control Commits
sion, authorizing it to devise plan
to prevent recurrence of the disastrous
floods which caused so much loss in
the Valley in those three years. The
first annual report of this Commits
sion has just been published, and
those interested in what is proposed
and what has been done, may secure
a copy.
The report covers the two years
field work with recommendations there
on for comprehensive system Of PRO
iects to prevent flooding in the VAL
ley, by a system Of reservoirs, canals,
etc. A careful preliminary survey
was made and q vast amount Of in
formation gathered from all sources,
both in the Red River Valley and on
the tributaries Of the Red River. A
large number Of original pictures OF
flood conditions were taken and are
used to illustrate the volume elabor-
ately. 8,
The report is Of interest not only 70
the residents Of the Red River Valley
proper, but to those in the Sheyenne,
Pembina, Wild Rice and Bois de Sioux
valleys, in that the proposed reser--
voirs would be located therein, and
would be a source Of considerable val
ne, locally. The book is unlike most
reports on scientific matters. as it is
written in q popular form to appeal
first to the interest Of the general
reader. It is for free distribution and
can be secured for the price Of post
age and packing, 12c by addressing

"practical," whereas the common peo-
pie have been hoping that in some way
we could reach a practical basis for
lasting peace by abandoning what has
proved bad in practice-the interna-
tional grab through military power.
AS in the private business world
the peace contract can last only if it
is fair to both sides. Ways can be
found to escape an unfair contract in
time, which means other wars.

q
Different observers of world condi-
tions are moved by the fact that all
the representatives for the great al
lied powers Of the West who sat in
the peace conference have met or faced
defeat at home. Orlando of Italy has
already gotten his walking papers.
The Japanese cabinet has a new head.
Clemenceau and his cabinet are hang
ing on to office by their eyebrows and
are keeping the soldiers in the army
in the hope of making the coming
elections less radical and sweeping.
Lloyd Georges stock has fallen. Ev-
cry by-election since last fall has gone
against him. The Northcliffe press,
which follows the band wagon rather
than principle like much Of our big
press, has turned on him. And how
about the Democratic party stock
here?
What is the explanation Evident
ly in the main the unbearable condi-
tions produced by war-the reali-
zation of the vast difference between
war-fad fancies and the stern facts
Imperialists are dissatisfied because
the peace delegates did not squeeze
more blood out of the German turnip
in spite of the fact that they squeezed
so much that the profit method of pro-
duction vecame impossible in Hungary
and appears to have only few weeks
to live in Germany itself,
The people were fed up on the
thought that we were going to escape
paying for the war by indemnities
from the enemy. Now they see that
they must shoulder huge burden Of
taxation and that peace-time prosper.
