a pulpit that proclaimed a warning
and a prophecy It's text was Negro
Emancipation" 1t was the second
shot heard round the world. And as
the earthquake at Lisbon rocked the
waves of ocean on the shores of
Cuba three thousand miles away, so
the thunderings from John Browns
pulpit at Harper's Ferry, shook this
continent and hence was the occasion
of second egregious blunder that
made for righteousness and human
freedom.
II. THE SOUTH.
Virginia was filled with panic and
rage. In scarcely a twelve months
the south had begun to secede. As
sured of success in disunion it fled
to arms, blindly blundering under the
mistaken belief that patriotic loyalty
to a united country was so weak in
the free states that an exodus of
Northern democrats, million strong,
would rush to join the armies of the
South. But as no slaves answered
the call of John Brown so no North
ern disloyalists answered the call of
the south and she carried on her
hopeless campaigns for four long
years alone.
John Brown was promptly crucified
for his blunder, but God lifted a mil
lion hearts to his gibbet, as the Ro-
man cross lifted a million of hearts
to it in that divine sacrifice of two
thousand years ago 1t gave to the
country Lincolns Proclamation of
Emancipation. The South paid dear
ly for its blunder not only in the
loss of its slaves and millions of
treasure, but it gave to the future an
undivided country, one flag and one
common destiny, won by the glisten-
ing bayonets of million yankee sol
diers which the dragon teeth it has
sown had come forth at their coun-
try's call

AN INDUSTRY

According to Late
Figures

Cities Drawing Farmers
Away from Rural
Districts

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2o.-The
population of continental United Sta
tes is 1O5,683, 1O8.
This compares with 91,972,266 in
, 1910, and 75,994,575 in 1900.
The increase is 13,710,842, or 14.9
per cent. In the decade between 1900
and 1910 the increase was 1877 ,691
or 81 per cent.
The rate of growth declined in the
opinion Of Sam L. Rogers, director OF
the census, because for five years pre-
ceding the taking of the census i'm.
migration practically stopped, be-
cause of the epidemics of influenza,
and because of the casualties result
ing from the war.
An Industrial Nation
! The figures reveal the complete
! i;;,;nsition Of America from nation
primarily agricultural to nation
.:~'marily Industrial. For the first
me in the country's history, more
than half the population is living in
cities. Factory workers, and those
engaged in professional services, out
number those directly dependent on
the soil for livelihood.
| The number living in incorporated
places of more than $500 population
is 54,816,209, or 81 per cent. While
those living in rural territory total
0,866, 100, or 48.1 per cent. The cor
responding percentages ten years ago
were 46.3, and 53.7, respectively,
showing loss of 5.s per cent in the
proportion of the population living in
rural territory.
| Cities Increase Greatly
Cities grew at the rate of 28.6 per
cent. The growth of rural sections
was 81 per cent. If those living in
incorporated places of less than e.
500 be excluded from the rural ter
| ritory, an actual decrease in the pure
ly farming population of 28.6 per cent
is shown.
Number of Farms Larger
The number of farms, the supple
mental agricultural census shows, has
increased 1.5 per cent-from 2,361,-
SOP to 2,459,998. In the preceding de-
cade the increase was 10 per cent.

SH0RTHORN SALE
MAKES INTEREST
Farmers Invest Big Sum
in Good BlOOded
Cattle

The Shorthorn sale held here Thurs
day under auspices of the Lake Re-
gion Shorthorn Breeders association,
proved big success altho there was
some disappointment in prices. Much
interest was manifested in the pur-
chase of blooded cattle and thousands
of dollars changed hands, many far
mers investing in foundations for new
herds.
Lancaster Champion, the famous
Shorthorn bull in the Zentz & Smelt-
zer herd, brought the highest price
paid for any animal at the sales of
the association, John Donnoly of Graf
ton paying $1,000 for the famous
animal.
The highest price paid for a COW
was $3.50, by DR.. ,Baeton of Bottin-
eau. The average price paid for the
associations cattle was $3.50, while
the Zentz & Smeltzer dispersion sale
on the same day, was averaged about
S410. The attendance at the sale
was the best yet seen here. About
100 head of pure bred Shorthorn were
sold.

4 Pap Fed Press

A Pap fed press stops at moth
ing-it shames the truth, it
scorns the farmer, belittles the
laborer and his endeavor, sneers
at the enterprise of its own state,
and openly lies to further the
cause of it's masters.
The Pap fed press Of North
Dakota, brazenly charges the rule
of the majority in the state,
Socialist rule" it says, with the
low prices for wheat when that
same press and it's scurilous feed
ers have caused it, and have
cut into the life blood Of mer-
chants by sapping the farmers
of millions of dollars in wheat
prices which would have other
wise been spent in the stores Of
North Dakota-They're boosting,
boosting-downward.
The Pap fed press of North
Dakota says the same rule has
brot estate flour mills which
charge the consumers $500 a
barrel more for flour than the
privately owned mills"-Does
the Pap fed press prove it, or
was it happenstance for once.
But let's have sure truth.
On October 10th, flour of near
by manufacture was retailing at
$6.75 per SO pound sack while
the Seal of North Dakota, the
Drake mills product Of patent
flour and admitted by all of equal
grade to the other mill, was SELL
ing, retail in this region at $3.50
per SO pound sack. Those are
facts.
"rripled taxes which add still
another burden to the high cost
of living in this state," says the
same Pap fed press, Fogie For.
um, and its weak kneed imita-
tors, even in Devils Lake, and
yet despite facts, these same or
gans expect "dear old public" J.,
