Barnes county farmers who have
seed grain for sale to farmers in
drouth stricken areas, who accept the
government loans. or who buy under
the state seed bonding act, should take
reasonable care to see that the seed
which they furnish for that purpose IS
fit for seed said Dean H. L. Bolley,
state seed commissioner. This is urged
because Of the fact that seed is needed
that will produce crop that will
make is possible for the future crop
to be sold. under. the commercial
grades. Most of those who buy seed
live on new lands. The seed they buy
should not only be good enough for
them to raise a crop, but should be
free from weed seds and diseases and
mixtures that the use of the seed
should not prove an injury to sur
rounding lands.

Next Monday is city election there
is no opposition excepting for the po-

are two men in the field: T. W. Heidel
and DR.. ]. r. Featherstone. Both OF
them are absolutely all right upon the
question that has been before the peo-
ple of late-buying additional parks
both being against the proposition. SO
far as we are concerned either one
will suit US, but we are responsible IN
a large degree for Mr.. Heidel being a
candidate and we passed around his
petition before the other candidate
had even announced himself. We feel
that it is our duty and our pleasure
to support Mr.. Heidel for this office
So we are going to ask you to elect
him next Monday. We believe that ne
will make a good park commissioner
In taking this stand we have not a
thing against DR.. Featherstone. He
will also make good on that commits,
sion if elected, so that the people OF
the city have a choice Of two candl,,
dates, either of whom we believe will

there should be. and is, reduction in
materials, yet the telephone industry

as labor enters largely into the man
