Farmer R.ahcs s334.3s Extra bs-
Shipping His Grain To State
Owned Mill at Drake

/ Arvilla, n D. Jan. 37-(Spe-
ciaD-C. A. Hobbs, prominent
farmer OF this county, profited
1884 1884 81 as the result of the es-
tabllshfnent and operation of the
state owned elevator at Drake ac
cording to a statement he made
here to-day. This profit was made
on carload Of wheat and was
the price paid by the state mill
over and above what he would
have received at the local eleva-
tor for the carload of grain.
The carload contained S63
bushels. At the local market the
price was S2.6l, which means
that the carload would have bro't
Mr.. Hobbs 1925 .l3. At the state
owned mill at Drake he received
$3.50 q bushel, or 50, ,5O2.7O for
the carload. In addition to this he
was paid S84.11 for the dockage
in his wheat. This brought his
check up to $2,5SS.S1.
Another item on which Mr..
Hobbs found a substantial gain
was in the grade. While the test
weight which the local elevator
Gave-him was only 56 pounds. at
the Drake mill the test weight
was 81 pounds. This made a gain
not only in the weight of the car
but it also meant a better grade.
Il haze not inquired what my
taxes are" Mr.. Hobbs said, "but
| have hot the slightest doubt
but what this will do more than
pay all my taxes. A few eXperien-
ces OF this sort makes a man un-
derstand why the Nonpartisan
League is being fought so bitter
ly. The |. V. A. can't argue OF ex-
plain this away. | have the check
here in my hand to prove in ac-
tual dollars and cents inst what
the league program means to me.
And what it means to me it mean
to every other farmer in North
Dakots.
'Let them say what they
please about Mr.. Townley, but
we've got to take off our hats to
him. 1t is due to his work that we
will have the state owned mill
and elevator. He was a big e.
nough man to put it across.
"For thirty years | have hoped
to see state mill in Grand Forks
When it is built, every farmer
will feel the benefit.

MOB RULE IN AMERICA

Ii Democracy means anything
it means the freedom of the pea-
ple peaceably to assemble and to
discuss without restraint any
subject upon which they choose
to deliberate.
The first duty of the govern
ment is to protect every citizen
IN the exercise of the fundament-
a! rights guaranteed under the
constitution.
The constitution provides:
Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment OF
religion, Oh prohibiting the free
exercise thereof; or abridging
the freedom of speech, or of the
press; or the right OF the people
TO peaceably assemble, and to-
petition the government for a re-
dress of grievance"
The real enemies of the GOV
elnment are men who are at
tempting to prevent exercise of
these rights. They are striking
at the roots of democracy and o.
yer-turning the constitution.
We need legislation in this
country making it a crime for
any individual or any organiza-
ton to interfere with the exer-
else of the rights of Tree speech,
free press and free assemblage.
New laws are particularly
needed for the guidance of men
in public office.
Mayors, governors, and feder,
al officials who took solemn
oath to "preserve, protect, and
defend the constitution" have vi
olated their oath by denying to
the people their fundamental lib
critics.
The press is filled with praise
for these men, who have betray-
ed their public trusts, but the
people in good time will demand
an accounting.
The country has of late been
treated with the spectacle of
small mobs of returned soldiers
breaking up lawful meetings of
their fellow citizens.
These men took the oath to de-
fend the constitution. They were
sent abroad to make the world
safe for democracy" Under wise
leadership, the rank and file of
patriotic service men will discour
age this lawless element who are
destroying democracy in their
own land.
There is no room in this coun-
try for any man or any organiza-
ton of men who seek to substi-
tute for the law methods of force
and to establish mob rule in A.
merica.

DOwN WITH THE REDS

What is the world coming to.
A short time ago We sent the Bull
ford to some unannounced port
in Europe loaded with reds"
The bands played, the "reds"
swore, the newspapers ran big
headlines and the world was saw
ed. For few nights the editor of
this great family journal enjoy
ed the sleep of the good and vir-
tuous. AS a matter of fact we dis
pensed with the usual tour of in
spection each night before retir-
ng to THE arms of Morpheus. Not
once did we look under the bed in
frenzied expectation of finding
q bomb there. We shovelled coal
without a single quickening of
the pulse when a piece of rock re-
vealed itself among the Jumps OF
carbon. When we were rendered
a cigar by a bewhiskered strang-
er a few days ago we did not take
the trouble to have it analyzed
by a member of the secret serv-.
ice. We passed it ON to an old en-
envy and went our way smiling.
No one can know the untrammel-
led bliss we enjoyed for a few
days. We don't know ourself.
Yesterday we came face to
face with the hideous truth.
There are reds" at work in this
country. The good ship Bulford
did not carry away as much as
we had first thought. Our dream
of bliss is thing of the past. We
have taken down the old squirrel
gun and loaded it with buckshot
and tacks. New locks have been
installed at the house; burglar
alarm on each door and window.
and we are willing to entertain
offers of any sort of book that
deals with the problems of these
times. Why is it no one has writ
ten a book on 'How to Detect the
Reds" Why is it that Milbank
has no regiment of trainad SOL
fdiers to protect our lives and
property and sugar supply +? WHY
have we no machine guns on
Main street?
This country is virtually over
run with "red" propagandists.
While at the station the other
day a work train thundernd a.
long the tracks at a terrific
speed. Imagine our horror when
we noticed two red flags at the
rear end of the cabooso! We
shouted our protest but the train
went right through Milbank. We
had luncheon at the st. Hubert
at noon and the tomatoes were

ing man unbuttoned his coat and
his neck-tie was RED! Frantical-
ly we rushed to the postoffiee
and purchased a stamp intending
to dispatch a letter to some home
council OF defense and the post
master gave us a stamp that was
RED. Think of it-printing a
picture of George Washington in
Red! Is there no limit to the in
famies of these ''red" agitators?
Where will it all end?

FARM BUREAU CONFER
LNCE

County Agent Buchanan re-
turned Saturday from q weeks
conference in Brookings. County
Agents and Farm Bureau dele
gates were present from all over
The State. Many agricultural
problems of Importance were dis
cussed.
Butcheving Demonstration
All farmers present at the con
ference were very much interest
ed in an actual butchering DEM
eas ~atiel put on by Professor
Trowbridge of the North Dakota
Experiment Station. 4 COW, hog
and sheep were butchered, show
lag the very easiest and best way
to do the job under average farm
conditions.
Rust Resistant Wheat
Excellent reports were given
on the yields secured from Pro-
fessor ChanlpIin's new variety
OF rust resistant wheat. 1t did
not rust in any part of the state
last year. The yield was cut in
some cases tho, by scab and
draught. 1t should not be sown
on very rich land as it has a ten
dency to lodge. Government
tests prove it to be the best mill
ing wheat of any of the macaroni
varieties. 1t must not be confus-
ed tho, with another rust resist
ant variety, called Red Durum or
d. ). This variety resists the
rust, but is the poorest milling
wheat known and is docked very
heavily.
The Acme wheat is getting
we'll spread over the state and
seed is available in small quanti-
ties. 1t sells from $3.50 to $500
Pr bushel. Ralph Thurston near
Sisseton has limited amount of
the genuine Acme. County Agent
John a Cunning of Webster re-
ports considerable seed for sale
in Day County. Parties wanting
few bushels should lose no time
for it will soon all be picked up.
Yields of 20 to 35 bushels were
secured last year beside other
wheat which was almost a fail
ure.
Hog Cholera Coming Again
DR. Weaver of the college vet
erinarian and DR.. Briggs the U.
S. Hog Cholera specialist advises
everyone i'm communities where
cholera was prevalent last year,
to vaccinate shortly after wean-
ing time. Also use the double
treatment. They Also state that
best authorities agree, that hena-
morhagic septicimia, or swine
plague rarely if ever exists eN-
cept as a secondary infection.
They do not advise using mixed
vaccine but merely vaccinate
with the hog cholera serum and
virio.
They emphasized the fact that
80 per cent of all hogs that die OF
disease die of hog cholera. Don t
take chances if hogs start to die.
Don't put TOO much faith either
in so-called hog tonics and condi-
ton powders. We don't contin-
ually force all sorts of chemicals
into our own stomachs. Why
then force them on the hogs. Ii
we must feed something, put it
in self feeder.
The hog usually knows what
and how much is best for him

Sc consists of fifteen lessons,
two hours each. When complet-

range classes in such a way that
each member enrolled will not
need to take more than one lesson

be inclined, and find it possible
to organize Glasses to take the
course will please report to o. G.
Austin, Sisseton. Ladies on the
farms should take advantage of
the opportunity offered as we'll
as the ladies in town.
When the nurse arrives we
may be able to work out some
plan by which ladies on the farm
will find that the course can be
given without making it impos-
sible for them to take care of
their accustomed duties.
