PUTTING THE "CAT IN
DELI-cAT-EssEN
Dear ROY was walking on one of
the business streets of Flushing the
other day when / observed a cat walk
ing through a big hole in a screen
door in front of a delicatessen shop.
Thinking to kid the proprietor of the
shop remarked: Say, Henry, what's
when the cats can walk through"
"Oh. dots alright" says Henry. a
just got dem doors up to keep oud
der muskeeters." Was Henry kid
ding back, or are they that big over
there?-J. L. Beers.
And just think, we used to worry
about little things like microbes.
THE MESSENGER BOY
Farewell to the life of the messenger
boy.
I'll hit the high roadway to ease and to
joy.
Why should 1 pound the pave,
JUST to scrimp and to save,
And be some rich brokers' mechanical
toy?
Those coolies of bonds that they hand
me to lug
Infect me and give me the travelling
bug.
I'll cop out a few
And I'll seek pastures new,
And all the newspapers will publish
me mug.

HIGH SCHOOL PLAY
IS WELL ATTENDED

"The Rivals" the play presented by
the High School Dramatic Club at
the Grand Theatre last evening was
exceptionally we'll rendered, each men,
Der taking the respective part with
credit. The Theatre was packed and
some we're forced to stand. The high
school orchestra furnished music dur
ing the evening in a manner which
shows this organization to be COM
posed of much good talent. Between
the last two acts Mrs. Vernon l.. Man.
gun favored the audience with a vo-
cal solo number, accompanied by Mr..
Bach on the piano and Prof. Corrison
on the violin. This number was greatly
enjoyed by the audience. Immediately
after the performance the members
Of the cast were served luncheon at
the Shirley Cafe.

BIG YIELD OF

Clarence Knudson of Grand Forks
County raised 81 bushels of potatoes
on a little over 1-8 of an acre or at
the rate of 1851 bushels per acre.
This gives him the state champion
ship in potato growing in the North
Dakota Boys and Girls Clcbs. 1t
gained for him a trip to the Boys and
Girls Institute, a weeks course in ag-
riculture and Home Economics given
at the North Dakota Agricultural Col
lege for Cub winners. These potatoes
were planted May 18th with a potato
planter 1 foot apart in 8 foot rows.
They were blind cultivated once, cul-
tivated three times, hoed once, and
hand weeded twice. They were spray
ed for bugs three times with Paris
Green. The 400 potato club members
reporting results grew a total of 6276
bushels on 61.5 acres or at the rate
of 1902 bushels per acre. Each n
raised about one-eighth acre.

ORDER YOUR SEED CORN NOW

II you want to secure good seed
corn and other seeds at a reasonable
figure see County Agent Aamodt, as
he has made arrangements to send in
the orders and have them booked for
later shipment. Cash must accompany
the order, and indications are that a
small carload will be shipped into the
County, thereby not only effecting q
saving in freight but a saving by CO.
operative buying. Each order will be
put up separately, and will be shipped
whenever convenient. If a carload is
secured the orders will probably be
re-shiped by local freight. The County
Agent saw the manager of the seed
house personally and was assured
that only the very best of seeds would
be shipped to Bottineau County.
The Agents office is alec kept in
touch with the feed oats and corn
market, so if you r contemplating
having some shipped in it might be
we'll to have him quote prices.

when rates are based not upon the
value of the service rendered. but
! upon the imperative needs of rail-
| road; that are suffering from waste
and mismanagement, neither the rail-
roads nor the public can be bene-
fitted.
All of which marks back to the pre-
diction made by the advocates of gov
eminent ownership of railroads that
the transportation industry is suffer-
ing from a malady that will not re-
spond to the accepted legislative
nostrums. Their ills are deep-seated,
fundamental. They can not be CURED
so long as the source of infection re-
mains untouched.
VIII Not Cover Waste.
Rates cannot be placed high enough
to cover the reckless waste, graft
ands mismanagement that have
brought the New, Haven and other
roads to the very edge of bankruptcy.
In the past railroad exploiters have
taken in graft and manipulation what
might have been legitimate profits ex-
tended over a period Of many years.
They find now that they cannot eat
their cake and have it. The law Of
compensation, ever working, is doing
for them what it will dc to every cor
poration that disregards sound eco
Monies and honest financing.
When the fact percolates the heads
of obtuse legislators that the topping
industrial system cannot be bratticed
by higher and still higher traffic
charges, anti-labor legislation and
governmental subsidy, they will do
what should have been done months
ago. They will retire the incompe-
tents and put the railroads upon a
basis of public service, as they must
be before there can be any degree of
stability in their affairs.
Poisoning Industrial Body.
Intelligent business men are slowly
coming to the point of view that the
railroads are a menace to all industry
and will poison commerce until heroic
remedies are applied to their Ills.
They are asking themselves whether
their ill-considered attitude of hos
tility to naturalization Of the trans
portation industry is not reacting dis
advantageously upon them and cost
ing them a great loss Of money and
considerable concern for the future.
Failure Of the railroads to transport
freight has been a hard blow to Ameri-
can business. No one has yet esti-
mated just what share Of RESPONSE
bility for the existing: panic cap be

meek through the processes of pri-
walton and suffering must react
against the best interests of the ma
ton. Military barbarians never con-
ceived anything more fiendish and in
human than the tactics that are being
employed by American industry in
its effort to perpetuate it's autocratic
sway.
100000 Men Idle.
There are more than 100000 idle
men in this country. The list is
being Increased at the rate Of thou
sands daily. No one can calculate
what proportions the movement will
attain before it is definitely checked.
If it is to be the fight to the finish
predicted by the agencies that are
actively supporting the open shop
campaign, it is certain that to the
rigors Of winter will be added misery
such as we have not seen in many
years.
The workers, by accepting longer
hours and less pay, may regain their
positions, but they are not inclined
to do so. They know that living
costs have not materially decreased.
While the price of number Of COM
modltles has dropped during the past
two months, there has been no re-
duction of rents, and the workers are
paying more than ever for coal and
other essential commodities. To &C.
cept, under the circumstances, lower
wages means that they must also &C.
1;1y;r
Want Labor Competition.
The manufacturers believe that the
growing army of the unemployed,
augmented by the incoming hordes
from Europe, will soon start a COM
petition for jobs that will bring about
the result for which they are striv-
1ng-the destruction of labor groups
and the breaking down of wage
standards that have been built up not
because labor was greedy and arro-
CANT, but because, for the first time
in several Decades, labor was in po-
sition to say something about what
it should receive for its services.
Manufacturers say that the work.
ers are mot now so 'cocky'". There
has been no break in Their ranks, but
they rely upon starvation to bring
that about. BY recruiting the ranks
Of unemployed, they forsee the day
when workers will be as abtect and
submissive as the most autocratic en-
ployer could demand. Starvation is
autocracys weapon, and it is using
1t IN a manner that gives all thought
tul citizens cause for pause. The
situation is electric with potentialities,
but the manufacturers are indif-
ferent to them. They have set out
to- rule and ruin, and labor faces the
most desperate struggle.
