insanity of the people, one phase of the state industrial pro-
gram covers the establishment at strategic points throughout
the state of state plants, where the Ignite will be reduced

This electric energy will be distributed throughout the
adjacent territory of each plant, especially for the use of
farmers and their wives. They don't want houses and barns
to burn down from overturned lamps and lanterns. Silly!
They want to furnish the farmer with the electric power,
more quickly and efficiently to cut his fodder, fill his silo,
milk his COWS, and they want to reduce as much as possible
the drudgery of the women on the farm, enabling her and
her husband and the entire family to have both time and in
clnation for social amenities. Absurd and ridiculous.
are being utilized for the benefit of the people of the state,
and the faith these people have in their state is screamingly
funny. For instance, they are this summer completing a
road building program covering an expenditure of nearly
~$5,OOOOO0. And State Senator Liederbach is already circulat-
ing the initiative petition to be presented to the next legis-
building on a program that will give North Dakota the best
highways in the world.
Some Fine Seed Fantasies
North Dakota has become the seed treasury of the United
States because of laws and a seed program that certify the
quality and integrity of the seed Will such e~xactitude that
guarantee as surely as one can trace the pedigree of a regis
tered, purebred animal. They not only pass astounding laws.
but they also obey them, and compel their enforcement. Pro
fessor H. L. BoLey, state botanist and state seed commits
sioner, administers the laws on seed with the zeal of a Jesuit.
Mention has heretofore been made of the flax crop of
North Dakota. It amounts to about $3O,0OO,O 900 annually.
The flax is threshed and the seed sold to manufacturers out
side of the state who extract the linseed oil and sell the resid-
ual oil cake, both at big profit. -.
This oil cake is one Of the richest cattle foods known to
day last winter Denmark laid down on the dock at New York

North Dakota. DR.. Ladd traced it, and determined the facts.

and reputation the librarian who has "dared thus to debauch
the young manhood and womanho0d of our glor-rrious COM

Honest to goodness, the way they described that librarian
was enough to convince anyone that Satan ought to move over
and make room for the aforesaid librarian. Well, the admin
lstration sat tight and kept quiet in seven languages. That,
according to Dr.. Ga-Zinkus, in the Raw trial, is an infalible
indication of circunnavgation of the cerebelum. Then, when
these idealists were all solidly committed to the policy Of

simultaneously every one of the %ffty-three administration

the library, not by the present administration librarian, but
by the previous librarian, Mrs. Budlong, who is a sister of

Other Foolish Dreams
According to the United States Geological Survey, the
state of North Dakota is underaid with billions of tons of
coal, which varies from ignite, which predominates, to bet
ter grades, and has predicted that at some not far distant
date a P%ittsburg of the North will be located in that state.
The Ignite is there, all right, and in hundreds of places it
outcrops.
Dean Babcock, at the School of Mines, has conducted ex-
haustlve experiments through which a system has been evolved
for brquetting the Ignite and producing cubes with approx
mately the B. I. U. Of anthracite, at the approximate cost ef

Before the enactment by League legislators
of the Grain Grades, Weights and Measure
law, each grain buyer was a law unto himself
in North Dakota as he still is in every other
state.
He gave the producer any kline of weight
and price he saw fit, regardless of the value
of the grain at the terminals.
He graded the grain to his own ideas, and
the only fear he had was that his employers
in the Twin Cities would penalize him for
GRADING TOO HIGH.
He slapped on "Dockage" just as he pleased
and was prodded into taking a higher per
cent than actually existed, by letters from
the "house" telling him to 90 strong on it,
SO as to be on the safe side.
The producer had not one word to say
about the marketing of his grain. He took
the weight, the grade and the price that the
of dockage the buyer decided he needed in
his business.
Ideal for the Buyer
1t was an ideal condition for the grain
buyer. But it was hardly ideal for the farmer.
He was absolutely at the mercy of men to
whose interest it was to give him as little
as possible and to take as much as possible.
The Nonpartisan league took hold of the
situation in characteristic way and it has
ENDED the privilege of the buyer. It passed
the Grain Grades, Weights & Measures law
(Chap. 1873, 1919 Session Laws) and since
then the grain buyer must account to a state
inspection department, headed by DR.. E. F.
Laid, for every grade and weight given and
for every pound of dockage taken.
The Law Is Simple
The simplicity of the law and it's workings
makes it very effective It requires that every
grain buyer be licensed by the state. It re.
quires that, unless he is so licensed, he can
not buy grain or run a public elevator. It re.
quires him to report quarterly on grain bought
and on dockage taken.
# he fails to make his report-he can not
hold his job.
If he fails to pay for dockage or return il
he can not hold his job.
If a farmer thinks he is getting LOWER
grade on his grain than it should bring, OF
that he is not getting correct weight, the buy.
er must furnish an envelope in which five

lost. Not only did they formerly lose it
BUT THEY PAID THE FREIGHT ON

gang Secretary of State in early days,
who not only stole the office furniture
when his term was OUTPUT MADE THE .
STATE PAY THE FREIGHT TO HIS
HOME! That happened Once-but the
farmer has had his dockage stolen for
more thar thirty years.
How the Law Works
The amount of money SAVED to the farm
er IN 1919 in getting him a square deal on
MS grades and weights can not be computed.
It ran into millions. The fear of the law had
OLD practices and played square. But the
amount of work that am to the State In
spector and his department, through com
plants and requests for decisions on weights,
grades, ETC., indicates that the law was work.
ing.
For instance: When the Federal govern
ment first established it's standards for wheat,
it established ''sub" classes. We had Dark
Northern Spring Wheat, which was a hard
wheat; we had Northern Spring Wheat, which
was a lower sub-class; we had Red Spring
Wheat, which was a still lower sub-class.
Farmers were yet ~unacquainted with the SUBJ
classes and it was an easy matter for a crooked
buyer to grade Dark Northern Spring Wheat
as Northern Spring Wheat" and pay accord
ingly.
Neat Little Conspiracy
In one part of North Dakota it was agreed
among several grain buyers at different sta
tons that they would grade Dark Northern
Spring Wheat" as Northern Spring Wheat
thereby defrauding the farmers out of &c. a
bushel. Tn scheme worked nicely until the
State Inspectors department discovered the
fraud. The farmers got what was coming to
them and that alone saved thousands of dollars
to those farmers. Had such a plot extended
over the state and had there been no Grain
Grading law-the farmers would have lost
millions of dollars in. the state that year.
Stops Wide Margin
The law also stops too wide margins. The
margin" is the difference between the price
Of wheat at the terminal and the price paid
the farmer. It is composed of the freight
charge, the. terminal fees and the buyers prof
it. Sometimes the. terminal price and the ele-
vator mans price drift as far as 4Oc. apart.
Under the North Dakota law, the State In
spector can say to a buyer: "You are taking
too wide a margin-you are exacting too much
profit-PUT TT BACK" and he puts it back
or he quits buying wheat.
It was not so long ago-in August-that
the North Dakota buyers were paying the

pounds of the grain from the wagon is placed.
Both the agent and the farmer sign the en-
velope and it is mailed to the State Inspector
at Fargo. The Inspectors decision settles
the matter. If the buyer refuses to furnish
the envelope and refuses to take the sample
or sign the envelope-the farmer can take
the sample and send it in, stating that the
buyer refused to sign. The State Inspector
decision settles the matter-and usually settles
that particular grain buyers affairs, also.
O'Connor Fought the Law
When the law was first passed in 1917, a
grain buyer named M. C. Gaulke, of Thompson,
The case went to the Supreme Court. His
lawyer was J. F. T.. O'Connor, now I. V. A.
candidate for governor. He lost his case, the
Supreme Court holding that his lawyer had
given him a bum steer and that he must take
out the license.
Then later the Emblem Farmers
Grain Co. brought suit against the law,
and got an injunction against it in fed
eral court. Once more the law firm ap-
pearing against the law was johnson &
OCOnn0r. That case also vent against
the I. v. A. candidate for governor and his !
campaign manager and partner, Svein-
bjorn Johnson. The Injunction was swept
aside and the law stands a protection
BOTH to the producer of grain and the
honest grain buyer. a
Naturally this strict requirement that grain
be honestly handled, irritated the Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce. It knew that the
grades established by the United States were
all in favor of the buyer. But it was not con-
tent even with that It wanted more thar
an edge on the deal. Hswanted to be ABLE
TO STEAL WHEN, WHERE and HOW it
pleased with none to say it nay. In that it
was backed by the Nv "a. candidate for gov.
ernor, j. F. T. O'Connor, who now goes out
and asks the farmer To- vote for him, because
he tried to make STEALING EASY for the
Grain Gamblers.
Dockage Alone Saves, $3,00O,0OO
According to the returns made by
grain buyers and elevators to the State
Inspector, DR.. Ladd, the farmers of North
Dakota SAVED better than $4,000 ON
their 1919 crop, through being paid for
dockage that otherwise they would have

when the car is on the way and is about to

tween the actual price and the pamhlarSs'
guess was about 21c. That was too large a
margin for comfort for the farmer. Tha

ALONE was better than $4,000, 100000.
Dockage on Barley
Under the law the State Inspector does not.
permit barley to be locked. If it is locked,
the me buyer must pay back to the farmer the
1ull price as though the dockage had been
pure barley. Yet time and again was the
State Inspectors department called upon to,
compel elevator men and buyers to refund
what they had taken in this manner. The
records are full of instances of this sort. In
one case wheat and flax was about equally
mixed in a load. The wheat was docked and,
the flax retained as "dockage." Yet flax was
worth about double wheat. The buyer paid
for that flax, eventually. Yet the dockagB
law only went into effect for the season Of
1920. It is now on it's second season.
North Dakota farmers have felt the
benefits Of it-and Minnesota farmers

The Law Is a Winner
There is no getting around the value Of
this law. It is the most beneficial measure
that has been enacted in the interest of the
producer in the United States. It gives him
no special privilege, no advantage that he
should not have. It merely gives him assur-
ance that he will get just weights, true grades
and full pay for every kernel he hauls to
market. It interferes with no mans inst
rights.
It does interfere with the gambler and
the cheat-butt that has been the purpose
Of every good law ever enacted in this na,

measure. As such it is fought bitterly

OVERHAUL YOUR CAR
BEFORE STARTING 1T
Many Things Should Be Attended
to in Early Spring.
Owner Should Go Over Every Rsrt Of
Mechanism, Cleaning, ollins and
Tightening Loose Parts-Let
Carburetor Alone.

If your car has been in storage
during the winter, give 1t thorough
overhauling rt this time of the year,
a pioneer automobile man.
Here is a list of the things which
need to be done to prepare your car
properly for good weather driving, he
said:
/. Fill the radiator with water. See
that the gasoline tank contains suf-
flcient quantity of gasoline and that
there is plenty of oil in the crank
case.
2. Take your storage batteries down
and have them tested.
3. Assuming that the tires were TAX
en- Off when the car was stored and
put in warm place, they should be
looked over for weak spots and prop
erly inflated.
4. Scrape the rims and paint them
with shellac and flake graphite.
8. Start the motor and drain out the
crank case and run the motor so as to
pump it thoroughly through the oiling
system; then draw it out and fill 1t
up with fresh oil.
g. Remove the carbon from the en-
gine.
7. Grind tn. valves.
+ s. Adjust the valves, brakes and
bearings.
8. OIL the gear-shifting mechanism.
clutch and brake mechanism and all
clevis pins.
TO- Inspect oil pump and fittings for
possible leak.
II. Clean out and fill all grease cups
with good grade of medium weight
grease.
T. For the next week put three ta-
blespoonfuls of kerosene in each cylin-
der to cut the carbon, and let 1t stand
over night.
13. Clean differential and oil uni
versals and gear sets.
In word, go over every part of the
mechanism, cleaning, oiling and tight
ening loose parts. Don't take any
thing for granted. Above all things,
do not meddle with the carburetor.
When 1t leaves the factory 1t is prop
erly adjusted. Ninety per cent of all
motorcar trouble is with the ignition.
