HOLIDAY TRADE

1t would be interesting to know
how much of the annual sum spent
by the people of Hope for holiday
and winter purchases, is sent out OF
town. Considering the thoroughness
with which the great mail order
houses advertise their offerings, and
that there is always an element that
likes to go to same bigger place to
trade, this sum may be rather large.
Now if all that money could be
kept at home, it would give a tre-
mendous start on q new boom for
Hope for the year 1920. The mer-
chants would start the new year with
great confidence and willingness to
take hold of projects of expansi IN.
1t would mean more taxable property,
bigger stocks in the stores, more sup
port for all public enterprises.
There are some people who do not
realize what a complete outfit Of all
kinds of holiday and winter stuff is
carried right here in this place. These
home merchants have been preparing
for this trade for months past. They
have seen representatives and sam
pies from the best wholesale houses
in America, and have had a chance to
buy every possible line Of fine and
substantial stuff that the people
could want.
And they have stocked up heavily
on those lines. Realizing that the
amount of money in circulation is
very large, they have had faith in
the future of local trade. They have
probably laid in much larger stocks
than ever before.
When these public spirited business
men of this community have thus
made the effort to create here at
home a completely stocked trading
center, it seems disloyal not to back
them up in their effort. The people
who send or go away TO trade are
likely to pay more and get less sub
stantial and attractive stuff. They
can do better in their home town
without bother or effort or expense.

WHAT GOOD ROADS Save

The State Engineer of Nebraska
has been conducting an extensive
campaign for good roads, and he
gives some remarkable results OF
tests of their economy.
It has been shown, he finds, that
to pull a ton over an ordinary earth
road takes 21S pounds of power. To
pull it yoer a macadam road takes 63
pounds of power, oyer a gravelled
road IS to 81 pounds of power and
over a paved road 81 pounds of pow"
er. 1t is easy to see how a bad road
connecting a food producing district
with the railroad adds to the cost OF
living, and tends to discourage the
farming industry.
AS a result of the showing that has
been made Of the economy of good
roads many farmers in that state are
contributing out of their own pockets
sums ranging from $500 to $1,000
to help the work along. They be-
lieve the good road adds that value
to their farms. When the people
everywhere learn to look at the road
question in that light, the present
tax on food products caused by the
miserable condition Of the majority
of country roads, will have been re-
moved.
One interesting result Of these Ne
braska experiments, was the show
ing that earth roads can be success
fully built for 80 cents a square
yard, thus demonstrating that the
back roads can be built without in
curing a prohibitive cost for expens-
i've material and construction.
The more labor costs, the more
necessary good roads become. In
the days when farm help was abun-
dant and cheap, it did not make so
much difference If the farm hand
took all day to truck material to the
railroad station that should go in
half that time over hard roads. But
when farm help is so scarce and high
priced, it becomes necessary to have
the best facilities for transportation.

RUSSIAN THISTLE PASTURE

The Russian thistle has much the
same feeding value as alfalfa and it
makes it's most persistent growth in
a dry season. In 1918 35 head of
sheep were pastured all summer on
5 acres of Russian thistles on the
Williston Satisfaction farm. The
thistles r quite laxative so that the
sheep secured some, but yet in the
fall the sheep were fatter than de-
sired for good breeding condition. In
1919 on the same farm, SO sheep
were pastured on ten acres Of Rus
sian thistle, there was some bronze
grass and squirrel tail on two acres.
There was more feed on the 10 acres
than the sheep could use. They were

I T MEN ON FARMS

Many city business men cherish
the dream of some day owning a
farm. A lot of them try it. Some of
them make good. The majority find
conditions different from what they
expected and get tired of it.
Any man who has brainsand will
work can. make a living at farming.
The main question is whether he
really likes country life or not. The
country towns welcome the coming
of city people with their brightness
and experience of business. But they
hate to see people take up a line of
work that they don't understnd and

It shows that the country is tired of
dictation by single classes, and de-
mands state and national govern
ments that shall consult the interest
of the whole people.
Other state elections were some
what obscured by local issues, but
most of them show Republican DRIFT
A Republican victory IN Kentucky
shows that the very foundations O.
Democracy are shaken. The coun'

competence, it's class spirit, and 1t:
opposition to business progress.

ALFALFA BRINGS
$4,000 PER ACRE

Irwin Small, a farmer living seven
miles south of Bismarck, has raised
some very fine alfalfa. Mr.. Gustaf-
son, the county agent, reports that
from his field of ten acres of Grimm
alfalfa, Mr.. Small cut rs tons of
hay, valued at $50 a ton totaling
$3.50. The second crop was cut for
seed which yielded 67S5 pounds
This he sold for 40 cents a pound,
amounting to $2714, making a grand
total Of $3464 for his 1919 crop OF
alfalfa, or an average of S346.40 per
acre. This is pure Grimm alfalfa
from pedigreed seed. - Extension
