When Mark Twain wrote "Huckle-
berry Finn he penned this introduce
ton:
Persons attempting to find mo-
tive in this narrative will be prose-
cuted; persons attempting to find a
moral in it will be banished; persons
attempting to find a plot it it will be
shot"
Whether readers find a motive,
moral, or plot in it matters little, Mil
lions Of them have discovered in it
wholesome entertainment and unadul-
terated joy. To them will come as
welcome news the announcement that
great photoplay has been made of
"Huckleberry Finn and that it will
be shown at the Liberty Theatre for
two days, commencing September 16
next. 1t is declared that the spirit of
Mark Twain's narrative has been
wholly reproduced on the screen.

ON THE OTHER HAND!

The editorial and news writer's on the Fargo
Forum seems to be rather widely apart in their
views and conclusions as to the present econom-
ic and financial condition of the state, says the
Hillsboro Peoples Press. While the former con-
tinue daily to issue their doleful jeremaids
against the state administration, in which they
freely prdict that the policy being pursued must
inevitably land North Dakota in the demnition
b]ow-wows, the latter, in yesterdays issue of
the paper is a resume of conditions, present and
prospective declares that:
Commercially she (the New Year, finds
North Dakota and the Northwest enjoying it's
greatest period of prosperity, with bank clear
ings, building permits and wholesale and retail
receipts for the past year eclipsing those Of any
previous years and augurating just as bright if
not a brighter new year.
The motto of the Forum is based upon good
authority. 1t is LET not your left hand know
what your right hand doeth." Thus the editorial
hand mourns and will not be comforted while
the news hand points with pride.

BIG GOVERNMENT MAN
COUNTY AGENT LEADER

North Dakota has secured the
services Of H. B. Fuller of Washing
ton, d. c., for state county agent
leader. MI. Fuller has been with the
United States department of agricul-
ture for sever years in the capacity of
advisor to the county agents in the 80
northern and western states. This
has taken him into all these states in
helping the county agents work out
the many difficult problems that come
up. In this way Mr.. Fuller has had
an exceptional opportunity for study
ing oil phases of county agent work.
MI. Fuller vas raised on a Michigan
farm, graduated from the Michigan
Agricultural college, went back to the
farm but was soOn called to Kansas
as a county agent. His work was so
outstanding that the United States
department of agriculture sought his
services.

NORTH DAKOTA COUNTY SAVED
OVER ONE AND one HALF
MILLION IN 1919

Thru the poisoning of gophers and
grasshoppers Mclean County farm
ers saved $1,645, 324.76 in 1919. This
estimate is based on the reports of
over 700 farmers of the county as to
the money saved them through these
campaigns. The savings from poison
ing the gophers is estimated by the
farmers at $124.21 per quarter Sec
ton or 1856, 106.84 for the parts of the
county covered. The farmers also re-
port that before the county furnished
the poison it cost them $6.47 per
quarter section while now with the
splendid cooperation of the county
commissioners the county furnished
the poison at a cost of only IS cents
or another saving Of $3.50 per quart
er section or $40, 1868 for the coun-
ty. The saving due to the grasshopper
poisoning was $274.69 per quarter Sec
ton or $78O,217.92 for the territory
covered, this makes q brand total of
81, 685,681.06.
These poisoning campaigns were
carried on under the supervision of
the county agent. He, however, de-
voted only part of his time to this
work. If the $1649.25 that the county
paid for county agent work for 1919
is all charged against the poisoning
campaigns, it means a saving of $1O23
to the farmers of the county for ev-
cry dollar expended by the county or
county agent work. The State and
Federal government also put $1,000
into this county agent work. The in
creasedcrops not only benefit Nc
Lean County, but increase the bust
ness Of the State and Nation which
explains their interest in this work.
The formulas that made possible the
saving Of the $4O,536.30 in the cost
of the gopher poison for this N coun-
ty for just n year, was worked out
by the North Dakota Agricultural
College Experiment Station in cooper
alton with the u. S. Biological Sur
vey. The. Extension Division Of the
North Dakota Agricultural College
sent out its experts to teach the coun-
ty agent how to mix the poison both
for gophers and grasshoppers and
they in turn made demonstrations in
the townships and taught men select
ed in the townships how to mix so that
they could either mix for the farmers
show others how to do it, thus making
possible the saving Of the 81. 645,824.-
76 in this one county for n year.
These poisoning campaigns would not
have been possible had not the Agri-
cultural Colleges been training men

ton and the trained men when the

WHAT IS AMERICANISM

WHAT is AMERICANISM
A definition Of Americanism appearing in a
recent number of the Metropolitan magazine has
set a number of, up till nov, thoughtless people
to thinking and cropping after what they mean
and what is meant by the much mouthed term
"Americanism." 49,
You will remember of course, that the Metro
politan definition of Amercanism was, in brief:
A citizen who is not ashamed of and who does
not apologize for the present system of bust
ness-the capitalist system.
The man who adheres to the present system
is the only true 100 per cent American. The
man who questions or doubts even the smallest
particular of the present system for the pur-
suit of wealth, loses the full percentage of his
Americanism, and the more questions and
doubts the greater the deduction from the per-
centage of his Americanism.
That probably accounts for the fact that we
have worked into the language Of patriotism
the jargon of the market place and counting
house. Our Americanism has become a matter
of business-like nearly everything else that
we once held sacred.
The "old fogies" of twenty years ago had the
notion that love of country was the greatest viz
tue of the citizen, that this love could best be
expressed by obedience to the country's laws
and by making the yoke of those laws easy and
the burden light; that any man who could sug-
gest or bring about any change in the laws for
progress and for the benefits of the people was
uclpIuS u ilidhS CIllS ldIlu llOIe AOVcu dIlu HUN
hOnOred.
They were simple folk, those old timers. The
best was none too good for their country, and
they welcomed new suggestions with open
minds. They called that: Patriotism.
All that is changed. Men may rob their fel-
lows by profiteering; men may take the law in
their own hands and impose their will upon
their fellows; men may coerce, repress and sup
press the expression of the aspirations of their
fellows and violate both law and Constitution
and still remain under the mercantile classified
ton: 100 per cent Americanism."
What is Americanism? How do we relegate
to ourselves what Canada, Mexico or Brazil
may as lawfully claim? This is the continent of
America and the humblest half-breed Mexican
peon may lay claim to be as strongly 100 per
cent American" as our richest and greatest
profiteer. There is but one genuine 100 per cent
American. He is the aborigine-the Indian.
We can not all be Indians or lay his claim to
being a simon-pure American. But we can all
lay claim to love of country. Some men have
died to prove that love. Others have lived
for their country.
It is time this braggart boastfulness of the
merchant who vaunts his wares should be re-
moved from our mouths. It is time to learn
humility. A humble and a ~contrite heart is not
despised. Love "vaunteth not itself, is not puff
fed up" There is but one true test for our
patriotism that no cheap cry, born on the curb
and in the gambling hells of the wealthy, can
meet. It is just this:
"Tf We love me-keep my commandments"

The sugar profiteering which the govern
ment is amiably asserting to is now agitating
the minds of the public. The government had
the right, under a law passed by Congress, to
fix the price of sugar. It declined to avail itself
of this right, Thus, just as soon as the war re-
~striction on price went off, sugar that was sell
ing around $500 a hundred rose in price over
night to $1,000. The American people use about
80 pounds of sugar per capita. BY the open theft
of 10 cents a pound, the sugar trust secures
$3.50, OOO 1000 booty. We complain of the taxes
which we must meet to pay for the extrava-
gances of the world war, but our taxes are moth
ing to the tribute exacted from us by our own
100 per cent American citizens. When the coal
miners of the country asked an increase of a
few cents day in wages, to meet the increased
cost of food, clothing and shelter, they were de-
nounced as rebels and disloyalists and the fed
eral government used the rigor of the law to
break down their effort. In some states troops
were called out to drive the brutes back to
work. Now when the patriotic sugar trust sets
about taking enough money from the people to
build two Panama canals, the government devel-
ops a blind side, and is unable to help itself or
us. This is not to say that our system of gov
eminent is in the hands of those who are either
totally blind to right and wrong or who are so
controlled that they do what the wealthy and
powerful order them to do, whether it be right
or wrong. In either event we suffer as no free
people should suffer.

IF the state owned mill at Drake can make
SO per cent profit, after all expenses have been
paid, in Ill days-paying at the same time a
higher price for wheat, giving just grades and
paying a better price for dockage-what must
be the profits of the privately owned mills,
which pay Minneapolis price for wheat, less
freight both ways and less a nice profit, and get
more for their flour? Some bright boy in a rural
school might do a little sum in arithmetic that,
if he brought home the answer to his father,
might give the old man apoplexy.
