Argyle and Stephen are complaining
bitterly about the electric service given
them by the Crookston company which
is supposed to furnish them light and
power over the electric transmission
line which was erected early this
spring. An article in the Banner last
week states that frequently the current
is of for several hours at time and
the interruptions are frequent. Warren
citizens are fortunate that the PROPOSE
ton of the Crookston company to sup
ply Warren with electric current was
turned down by the electric light and
water commission. Evidently the
Crookston company is not building the
transmission line substantial enough,
otherwise satisfactory service should be
possible here as we'll as elsewhere
where current is transmitted long dis
tances. And the use of water power
for generating electricity ought to make
the cost much cheaper than by coal and
steam power

Secure Your Home

As has been evidenced during the
past few weeks people cannot be too
careful, when leaving their homes for
short time, to leave the doors and
windows well locked to insure the Sc
curity of their homes while away. A
recent incident in the city of Warren
bears out this fact. In one of the
homes a woman was preparing to GO
out for the afternoon and while in hel
bed room changing her attire. heard
someone knocking at the kitchen door
and being unable to answer right away
paid no attention to it, A few moments
later she heard footsteps in the kitchen
and then on into the dining room and
man appeared demanding something
to eat. He received orders to depart
in no uncertain terms and complied
with them.
This instance shows what might have
happened had no, one been at. home in
the house. Valuables lying around
might have disappeared and the house
rummaged from top to bottom. At this
time of the year when there are many
transients in the city and about the
country, people cannot be too careful to
see that their homes are secure when
leaving them but for a short time
safety First is a motto that might
we'll be put: into execution by securely
locking everything up before leaving the
home.

i USE HOME PLAYERS

The Red Lake Falls Gazette editor
tally objects to the hiring of profession
al players Oh local baseball teams
throughout the Valley, and says:
; 1--WE would like to see the baseball
managers get together for the 1922 sea-
son and agree to play all home men.
Make the contests interesting-contests
that we will all enjoy from the fact
that we know all the players and are
personally acquainted with them. There
is no need Of hiring professional men
and paying them big salaries. There
is not team in the valley that is in
the Minneapolis, St. Louis or New York
class. Let's hear from some of our
neighboring towns on this proposition"
The Index fully agrees with above:
The games will be more interesting if
only home men are used. It is possible
that in some cases it will be necessary
to get pitcher, as first class twirlers
do not live in every town. A conference
should be held and an agreement reach

the winter. The cooling mornings and
shortening evenings tend to lull the
worker into a mind Of reflection and
thoughts of other days, days of toll
through the summer. days Of rush
through the spring and those days to
come when the rays of the sun will
give little heat, but the roaring fire will
expand cheer and comfort throughout
the long winters evening spent in deep
thought beside the fireplace or jovial
entertain ment among friends and neigh
bOrs
To the nimrod there comes thrill Of
adventure, anxiety to be in the field
and an itching of the trigger finger, as
the passing days draw near to fall and
the hunting season. It is their time OF
the year for play, play that tests their
endurance, the quickness of the eye and
the strategy of mankind against that
of the hunted creature.

Policies of; the federal reserve board

sional commission by John Shelton Will
liams, former comptroller of the cur
rency, who charged that the board had
displayed undue favoritism in lending
to New York banking groups while
southern and western borrowers we're
unduly curtailed., There was "abun-
dant ground for complaints of discrim-
ination by farmers, generally" he add
ed. That the federal reserve banking
system, from which so much was ex-
pected in times Of financial stress, has
failed to measure up to expectations,
has been amply demonstrated the past
winter. Money on farmers collateral
has been almost impossible to get in
the west, while industrials in the east
received financial assistance. Evidently
the federal reserve banking. system
stands in need of being 'humanized''
and made to serve the farmers of the
west as we'll as the spectators in the
east.

Development Tour.

That the towns of the northern por-
ton of the Red River valley are willing
and ready to cooperate for the mutual
benefit of all of the towns of the valley
and the valley itself was amply brought
out at the various meetings in the vari-
Gus towns last Thursday and Friday
during the first annual tour of the Red
River Valley Development association
At practically every stop. despite the
busy season of the year. there were en-
thusiastic farmers and business men
awaiting to listen to the words of the
boosting visitors and to welcome the
tourists to to town.
On all occasions cooperation was
urged by both the visitors and the Wis
tied. A general air of good feeling and
good fellowship prevailed in every 10
cality and the hearty welcome accorded
the tourists upon their arrival was only
outdone by the lusty cheering upon
their departure and far shouted in
vitation to return again.
One of the things the tour brought
home to the tourists was the large
number of SOW and Canadian thistles
grown throughout the northern part
of the Red River Valley. These two
noxious weeds received a large con-
sideration by the speakers at nearly
every place and it is altogether probable
that the tour will result in something
| drastic being done for the elimina ton
of these two weeds through the con-
centrated effort of the Development as
ISOLATION and the state weed inspector
Office. G. P. Bull, state weed inspector,
accompanied the tourists and received
some very good first hand information
as to the weed condition in this part
of the country. He expressed absolute
faith that the weed problem would be
solved in this part of the state in the
next few years. He felt that the work
would be slow and that there would
probably not be an entire eradication
of the weeds but that the weeds would
be gotten under good control before
many harvests have passed by. j
Another state officer of considerable
Importance to this section Of the c0un-
try through which the tourists passed
was A. G. Rutledge, of the state immi-
grafton department. He wasca man OF
very pleasing personality and q good
talker. He did not hesitate to urge the
people Of the valley to use his Office by
sending all possible publicity about the
various communities to his Office.
Throughout the tour genial atm0s-
phere pervaded the countryside and Wis.
tied and visitors felt that much had
been accomplished for the association
as result Of the tour.

That the present government at
Washington, including President Hard
ing, is more kindly disposed than ever
toward the farmers and is very anxious
to aid them in solving their difficult
problems, is becoming very evident.
Never before has Congress been so will
ing to listen to the needs: of farmers in
the way of legislation; in fact there has
been organized an agricultural bloc OF
senators for the purpose of studying
agricultural needs and devising ways
and means to- assist them in marketing
their products, providing farm credits
and in other ways. The latest scheme
proposed is a wireless telephone: news

home players could easily put the semi
pros out of business by refusing to play
with them.-Norman County Index.
The, Sheaf wishes to add that by us
ing home players a baseball team will
become an asset instead of liability
to town. The Stephen team this year
was strictly home team and at the
close of the season quite considerable
sum of money had been accumulated in
stead Of deficit which most towns with
hired players have at the end of: the
season. The money has been turned
over to the Legion post of Stephen,
which organization is planning to erect
a permanent memorial in honor of the
young men who gave their lives in the
nations service.

With a stand of grain in June that
looked the very finest in many years,
lack of moisture in certain localities at
the critical time and the extremely
warm weather, mostly the latter, did
much damage. But our farmers have
learned many lessons of patience and
are raising the crop at as small expense
as possible, doing most of their own
work and hiring labor only when alb
solutely necessary. This will count
greatly in figuring up the profits of the
year. There will be plenty of feed even
if the oat and barley crop is below the
average in some localities. With cows,
hogs and poultry, farmers will manage
to get along quite we'll. Nearly every
farmer has a patch Of corn and corn
is an exceptional crop this year. Rye
is good crop and there is LARGE acre.
age Ii the county. 1t is a good crop
to grow for the erdadication of weeds.
Long ago it was demonstrated most
conclusively that the farmer who de-
ponds on wheat exclusively year after
year is sure to fail. Exclusive wheat
raising is precarious business. We
ought to raise more potatoes in Mar
shall county than we do. Farmers
close to shipping points have big op
portunity growing potatoes. Many
farmers near Lancaster and Bronson IL
Kittson county, at Eldred, Nielsville
and Climax in Polk county, and al
Moorhead and Saben in Clay county
have made themselves rich by raising
potatoes: We can do as we'll in Mar
shall county. One thing is certain W.
must change our methods of farming t.

To see the grain in the shock, the
