FARM WOODLAND CAN

Erroneous for Farmers to Saw
Up Choice Timber.
Many Valuable Logs Go Into Cross Ties
When They Would Bring Much
More Money If Sold as Saw
Logs-other Hints.

1t is a mistake to saw up choice
logs OF white oak, ash. cherry and yell
low poplar for rough uses at home or
to use clear black walnut for gate
boards or split up white oak butts for
fence posts. This fact is emphasized
IN many ways in new publication,

States department of agriculture.
Farmers are told that many valuable
logs go into cross ties when they would
bring the owner much more IL sold as

OF rapid growing trees are cut which
produce only one small tie, whereas,
If left to grow for from three to FIVE
years, they would yield more than
double the profit. To avoid making

ers. -
Poor Bill Lemke's heart has weak
ened since he thus dragged democracy
in his rotten mire. The majority of
the members of the Non Partisan
League support Bill LANCER, North
Dakota's fearless attorney general, in
his refusal to be party to the Lem
ke-Townley- plan to steal the
office from one of the first women cleo .
ted in North Dakota to state honors.
This independence of thought on the
part of the men Townley thought ne
Rad trained to have no opinions of
their own has terrorized the inner clan
Of the League and it has had its spy
glasses trained for some time to sight
harbor in which it can dry dock its
ship and remove the Mcdonald barna-
c'es.
This accounts for Lemke's attempt
to make the decision of Attorney Gen
eral LANCER to the effect that as the
state law only provided that women
could vote for presidential electors and
does not mention delegates to the Ma
tional Convention that therefore they
could not be delegate to national con
ventions appear to be an attack on
Miss Nelson. The North Dakota law
is copied from the Illinois law and this
is the Interpretation put upon the law
by the Illinois courts. With this opin
ion in hand Secretary of State Hall re-
fused to put the names Of the two wo-
men on the ballot, Miss Minnie j. Mel
son, nominated by Convention No. 2
and Mrs. M. H. Rudd, endorsed by the
Lemke gathering.
The supreme court held that dele.
gates were not public officers, but was
merely part of the party nominating
machinery and that women were there
fore entitled to be candidates, but pc
culiar as it may seem, the court does
not hold that women can vote for such
