from Mexico City. where the new gov

place, dramatic scene was enacted.
Manager Coburn read the order, look

hundreds. representative OF nearly ev-

house police. He gave them hasty in
structions and they, starting at the
rear Of the main room and shouting
the word as they went, cleared the
place within minute or two of all
except the dealers. lookouts and other
employees. Many Chinese, not under
standing the order. stampeded through
the doors to the street.
The dealers quickly gathered up the
big piles Of silver coins and the gam
bling paraphernalia. Soon the arch

Most young lawyers spend mor

The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1920-05-27

If the Minot men who participat-
ed in the Good Roads Trade and Truck
Tour have returned home realizing
more fully the importance Of good
roads, then the time and money spent
during the three days trip will have
proven beneficial beyond estimation.
The Independent doesn't like to ack-
nowledge it, yet the fact remains that
the very poorest roads on the 300 mile
"trip were those close to the city of
Minot, where the roads ought to be
the very best. Douglas, Plaza, Ryder,
Parshall, Kenmare, Mohall and prac-
tically every other town visited can
boast of better roads than Minot. If
we are to invite trade from these
towns then we at least ought to fur
nish roads as good as those lying in
the vicinity of those towns. Talking
never did build good roads. The writ
er asked Ryder man to account for
the good roads in his district. He re-
piled that it is largely up to the man
living in the towns 10 see that they
arr built and especially maintained.
Good roads are becoming religion
with the citizens of the smaller towns.
The men Of those towns get out and
drag them, realizing that the farmers
are busy with the crops. In some of
the towns, small speedy tractors such
as the Fordson are used in pulling
the drags. Men of Minot, will we
do all of our good road building on
paper?

has started coast to coast investiga-
ton in an effort to ferret out profit
eers in various lines.
Production of ten leading staples
has decreased ten per cent while bank
loans have increased twenty-five per
cent during the past year. Undefpro-
duction, overco0sumption, extrava-
gance, high wsges and lack Of trans
portation are some Of the reasons
for the strained financial situation and
imitation of prices. This is the season
Of the year when normal bank loans
should be low. Within 60 days de-
mand vii be made on the banks to
finance the handling of another grain
crop and bankers are starting 10 for
tify themselves. This is good time
to practice economy. The banks ev-
erywhere are discouraging wild spec
ulation and before making new loan
inquire carefully into how the money
is going to be used. The day Of reck-
oning is near at hand. This is q
mighty good time to pay on debts in
stead of contracting new obligations.
The reaction from the wild crgie Of
spending is begun.

The peak of high prices appears
to have been reached, with a substan-
tial reduction wave spreading in var.
ious directions. Wool prices are
slumping, a break of from ten to
twenty per cent occurring at the auc-

ment. Only thirty per cent Of the
wool offered was sold. This indicates
an early break in the prices of cloth
ing. Lumber dealers in some sections
of the country have dropped the price
of lumber from $40 to $50 per thou
sand feet. The federal department be-
lieves that sugar is due to break fifty
per cent at an early date. Many de-
partment store managers have notified
the wholesalers and jobbers that they
refuse to buy merchandise until the
prices are lowered. Some Of the de-

WHY GOOD COWS COME HIGH

The high prices now paid for pure
bred dairy cattle, lead many to think
that the dairy farm must be a YER
liable gold mine. And as milk and
butter are universal foods the public
is deeply interested in the facts pc
hind the bottle of milk and the BRICK
s@r butter.
Fifty years ago Western dajrying
was an accidental industry. What
the COW happened to give, the farmer
took and passed on to the consumer
at what he could happen to get. What
the farmer got from his COW was -
money; the cow was not debited with
her board but was locked upon as a
benevolent creature, whatever her per-
Torrance at the pail
Today the cow is a business prop
osition. Bran is worth fifty dollars
ton; "cowfeed," a balanced ration
is seventy dollars ton. Hay is worth
twenty dollars, sometimes rising to
forty dollars. Pasture land, of which
the cow must have at least two acres
is worth from two to three hundred
dollars an acre. Add to this oats at
dollar a bushel, barley at dollar
seventy-five cents and corn at two
dollars, and we find that the board
bill of milk cow is something like
that of man. 1t could easily amount
TO dollar day.
If we add to this the cows share
of the salary of the barn hand and
milker, who can command hun
dred a month and board, and add also
the cost of housing and the interest
on her purchase price, we find that a
COW must yield an annual product
worth at least four hundred dollars
to justify her being alive at all.
Thus it is plain why most cows in
a scrub or mongrel herd are liabilities;
and why, to keep ahead of her board
bill, COW must be of good birth and

Caatanxa's greatest mistake and the
one which contributed directly TO his
downfall, was debating the election
of his successor, former Mexican am
hassador Bonillas ct Washington, Q
man who is universally respected, but
not considered the right timber for
president of Mexico. Just why Car
rama supported Bonillas is not known
but it is presumed that Car7anza, who
was . willy politician. wanted someone
in power to whom he could dictate.
It is believed that he had the ambi-
ton of Diaz and hoped to be elected
president of Mexico again some day.
Had Carranza stepped down and out
and allowed the people to participate
freely in electing his successor, the
revolution would not have taken place.
Carranza has never been real friend
to the United States. He defied this
country on every hand and 1t has been
largely due to his unfriendly attitude
that Mexicans have held Americans
in such contempt. The party that
now succeeds him in power processes
to be friendly to the United States
and invites American capital TO come
into that country. Considering how
American capitalists have been treat
ed during the past six years, they
will be just a trife cautious before
venturing into that country, where
the possibilities as well as the danger
are so numerous.
