SQUELCH THE MUD Singer
(Oakes Timesl

Modern politics is enough to try the
patience of Job. In fact, if old man
Job was running for office in 1920 his
former troubles would sink into moth
ingness. How are the voters going
to find out just what the issues real
" are and decide which way to cast
their votes? If one peruses the col
umns Of an independent sheet he dis
covers that all leaguers are merely
burglars in disguise-and very thin
ly disguised at that. On the other
hand, the league papers affirm SOL
EMMY that all members of the oppo-
sition are advocates of big business,
crooks, thieves, liars, etc. The cam
paign has not as yet emerged from
the name calling stage. Why not get
down to brass tacks. Great issues
face the voters of North Dakota this
year, and they must eventually be
fought out on their merits. It is not
enough that the independents call the
leaguers socialists, bolshevists, and
whatnot; nor that the leaguers re-
spond in kind. The league is either
good or it is bad. The independent
program is either good or bad. Is
there no way of finding out the truth ?
Part of the league program is favor
ed by both sides. All seem to be
agreed that the farmers should have a
mill and terminal elevator, though
there is great difference of opinion
as to the amount Of money that ought
to be expended in the experiment, for
it is an experiment. It is not fair
that the farmers debt and his crop
should get ripe at the same time,
forcing him to sell off his product at
the low price when by holding it for
few months his profits might con-
ceivably clean up his Indebtedness and

One hundred bushels Of potatoes to
be given,away at the Corn and Potato
Show to be held in Minot Oct. IS, II,
Is and 16. Mr.. Jourgen Olson, chair
man Of the committee, who Is firm
believer in potatoes as 2 means Of
bringing prosperity to Ward county,
is Offering 100 bushels of potatoes free,
so bushels each to two farmers VINO
draw the lucky numbers.
It has been Mr.. Olson's policy to
encourage the growing of potatoes,
and for this reason he is making this
splendid offer which will interest more
farmers in growing potatoes on q
commercial scale.
A lottery will be arranged from
which every farmer will draw num-
Der and two numbers will indicate so
bushels of potatoes. The farmers
drawing these numbers will receive
SO bushels each of excellent seed pota-
toes.
No farmer who raises more than
one acre Of potatoes this year will be
allowed to draw. The farmers draw
ing the lucky numbers must agree to
plant the potatoes next spring and
cultivate them according to the prop
er methods Of cultivation.
Mr.. Olson for the last two years
has grown at least 40 acres of corn
and potatoes on each of his farms and
he finds that aside from realizing a
profit on the potatoes, the wheat crop
sown on potato ground outyields that
sown on old ground from 8 to 10 bush
els. Mr.. Olson's convictions in regard
to the potato industry are based on
actual experience on his own farms.

100 Blu. OF SPUDS WILL BE
GIVEN AWAY AT BIG SHOW

leave him the remainder for "velvet."
It hardly seems likely that North Da-
kota legislation can change this con-
dition. We must market our grain in
Minneapolis and accept Minneapolis
grades and prices for it. How can we
get around this ? There seems no other
way except government regulation Of
the stock markets and chambers of
commerce. The league legislature has
made some pretty punk laws, due in a
great measure to the advice of men
who have no interest in our state well
fare. But the rank and file of our
farmers are honest, and this move
ment is in reality protest against
conditions as they now are. Some of
these conditions must be remedied, and
soon-and it doesn't matter a great
deal whether the league or the indie
pendents figure out plan. With all
due respect to the honest men in both
factions, it is high time the mud
singers and dust throwers were rid
den out of the state, no matter whose
banner they bear. These great reforms
must be brought about by business
methods, by men who know what they
are doing. The business man depends
just as much upon that wheat crop as
does the farmer. The prosperity of
the country depends largely upon the
prosperity of the city, though perhaps
not to such a great extent. Corpora
ton. That's the word. Cooperation
not name calling-between the
farmer and the business man is the
solution. Not until farmers and bust
ness men learn that they are mutually
dependent will any conservative legis-
lation ever come. We are one big
family and will never get anywhere
until we realize this fact and get down
to fundamentals.

Farewell Party for brady Women

oACwSh any AVi Dlduy VNOWSN
A very enjoyable meeting of Unity
Ladies' Aid of brady was held at the
home of Mrs. Aubrey Herzog, Minot,
entertained by Mrs. Herzog and Mrs.
John Underdahl. There are several of
the members leaving soon to make
their homes elsewhere and the Aid
took this occasion to present token
of good will and friendship to each.
Mrs. H. J. Herzog and daughter,
Mrs. Harry Blom, have long been rec
ognized as standbys in Burt township,
always interested and willing to do
their bit for the good of the commun-
ity. Mrs. Dillon, Mrs. Hunt, Mrs.
Rygmyr and Mrs. Peterson, although
having been here shorter time, have
never failed to be on hand and willing
to do anything needed. 1t will be
hard to fill all these places, but wher-
ever they go their little corners will
be filed in an acceptable manner. The
members of Unity Ladies Aid will
feel the loss of it's best workers keen
ly, particularly Mrs. H. J. Herzog,
who we think has surely exemplified
the query, "Who is my neighbour"
A delicious lunch was served to so
people and an afternoon to be re-
membered enjoyed by all.
The next meeting will be held. Sept.
Both at the home of B. B. Mouck, en-
tertained by Mrs. Mouck, Mrs. Stat
fon and Mrs. Bertha Edwards. Every
body welcome.

 Religion
 The people of Petregrad seem to be very religious in a way for there are many shrines along the street before which they always stop and cross themselves in the manner used by the Greek Church and entirely differ ent from that of the Roman Catholic. This, however. does not prevent them from getting into quarrel or a fight immediately afterward, so after all it seems that all this religious effort is a mere superstition. While there are many educational institutions in Pet rograd the larger parts of the popula- ton are ignorant and unwashed, the latter word being meant in the literal sense for outside of the real high class Russian the people of the entire Elm pire are anything but clean and at tractive, yet they deserve a better fate than what is being meted out to them

as early as 17S4. The city is built upon absolutely fiat ground. much of it being made ground. Its climate is bad for it is extremely cold in winter with snow covered streets from Octo- Der until June while it's summers are short, damp and very hot. Cholera in summer is nearly always an annual visitor and the wealthier part of the population betake them mselves to sum- mer homes on the islands of the Neva, which make up a part, of the city. The Neva frequently overffows and the prisoners in the prison of St. Peter and St. Paul have been drowned in their celIs-in summer during the rains while others have frozen to death during the winter.
 In fact there are so many disagree able things about the climate of Petro- grad that there is a legend which tells us that the devil told Peter the Great to select this place and by so doing he would become great as it would drive many people to him (the deviD !, and that he would repay Peter for these souls. With his accustomed per sistence Peter. proceeded to build the city and supervised the work himself As soon as suitable quarters were erected he had the court moved from Moscow. Then he ordered thousands of peasants to come to the city and [ build homes for themselves. A special | tax was imposed throughout the Elm pire to meet this expense. A scarcity
 of building stone caused the issue of
 an order that no stone must be used | for building in any other part of the l Empire until the capital was com

The gigantic winter palace of the ill-fated Czar is a great pile of brick and stone containing many rooms and costly relics. Close by is the great arch and the admiralty building also the American Embassy, which is one of the few owned by our government. Before the war it was so difficult to rent a suitable building for our Am bassador that ,itp was finally decided to purchase an elegant brown stone building near the Russian Government buildings. During the present unset tied condition Ambassador Francis has spent little of his time in this building which is in the midst of some of the widest scenes.
 A-visit to the Hermitage-a museum and picture gallery built by Catherine II, is well worth a trip to Petrograd in quiet times, for this gallery con tains some of the worlds greatest paintings and statuary and like the two churches, is supported by mono
