DUNHAM STRONG
FOR AUTO SHOW
IN THIS CITY

Like st. John of old, Ed Dunham
Of the Dunham Auto company, after
being transplanted to another sphere
and returned to his old stamping
ground, declares to the world that
"the eye hath not seen nor the car
heard" the like of the wonders he
saw at the recent auto show in Port
land. Mr.. Dunham went to Portland
on Sunday. and returned the next
Sunday, evidently concurring in the
saying "the better the day the bet
ter the deed" and believes It Is as
applicable to auto shows as to any
thing else.
At any rate, Mr.. Durham who, by
the way. was the only representative
Of the automobile business at tho
show from this county, Is filled with
enthusiasm regarding all he saw and
heard.
The show was held In the big
Portland auditorium. two floors be-
ing devoted to car displays. and one
floor to auto accessories. There were
8S different models on exhibit. and
there was no end to the accessories.
II was noticeable, too, said Mr..
Dunham, that the cars exhibited
we're those of the well-known stand
ard makes, there being a refreshing
absence OF fly-by-night machines
which have blossomed during the past
year only to fade away and die an
early. we'll deserved death.
Cars from the $500 Locomobile
to the somewhat maligned, but de-
pendable lower priced cars were
there. II was remarkable display, and
the number Of people who attended
the show was one-fourth larger than
the number who attended any prev
ious show held In Portland. Mr.. Dun
ham didn't count the people. but he
took the word of the promoters OF
the show, and he states emphatically
that when an automobile man tells
you anything II is up to you to be-
lieve II, because they never tell any
thing but the truth.
The promoters OF the show pro-
vided plenty OF music. and on the
last night the big crowd enjoyed n
lively dance. The decorations, said
Mr.. Dunham. were more than ordi-
narily attractive.

MONTONA Is SLOW

Every state except Montana has q
larger number Of automobile regis

largest gain being in Ohio. which
shows a gain OF 102.174. Ohio is
first In total registrations. having
$4,000 cars and trucks registered.

r. SPRING WORK,

Work has been done on some of the
fields in Ward county, and some Of
the farmers there are reported to in
tend to do some seeding next week.
OF curse these expectations may be
shattered at any moment by a snow
storm or a sudden drop in tempera-
ture. Otherwise the preparation Of
the ground may continue. and it will
doubtless be advantageous. We have
never heard Of damage being done to
field by keeping it stirred up in ad-
vance of seeding. Apparently the only
chance of injury Is in getting the seed
bed so fine hat it will drift in high
winds. q
The planting of seed is q different
matter. No matter how clear the
skies or balmy the b~reezes, February
is not a good month in which to plant
ordinary farm seeds in North Dakota.
There is a bare possibility tina wheat
sown in February may produce a good
crop. But it is no more than a pos
sibility. The chances are very much
against it. Wheat planted much in
advance of the ordinary seeding time
is subjected to the double hazard of
freezing and rotting before it gets a
fair start. And the crop has hazards
enough if planted at the usual time.
The chances are that If n plant
ing is done in February it will be re-
stricted to very small areas, for the
farmer who has been on the job any
considerable time has learned that
there are times and seasons for most
farm operations, and that 1t does not
pay to go very far outside Of the u.s.
ual practice.

STILL

Although women have received the
ballot. it seems hat they are still
subjugated. We have this on the al
thority of an article in the current ls-
sue Of the Women's party organ, 1.-THE
Sufragist." That article cites the
determinations against married wom-
en- who in certain states have no con-
troll over their children. whose placs
0f abode can be fixed by their hus-
bands, and who must vote where their
husbands live-a common law rule Of
donlicile that is at the bottom Of thc
statute forcing upon American wom-
en- who marry foreigners the nation
atty of their husbands. In at least
one state, Georgia, there il a law
against women holding any civil Of
flee. and many discriminatory prop
erty rights against married women
still exist.

WHY NOT?

Some curiosity il expressed in Bis

to whether or NOT the political adver-
tisements now running in several Of
the state papers under the authority
Of the industrial commission liz be-
ing paid for out Of public funds.
Why bother about a little matter
like that? Haven't the public funds
bean used right along for partisan
purposes? For what other purpose do
the state departments exist? 1t would
be highly improper, OF course, to use
public funds to support any political
movement other than one approved
by Mr.. Lemke-Townley being out Of

LAmke wants to boost his W side of
the game, why shouldn't he use pub
lie money for that purpose. Other
wise what use is there in his being in
office?

stantly and or a large scale for this
purpose. Local banks have loaned
large sums Of money on doubtful Sc
curity for the purpose Of financing
political campaigns, and on the
strength of that security the state
bank had advanced them funds to
cover the loans. The state institution
might as well have loaned the money
directly to Townley, or Lemke, or who-
ever happened to be running the at
fairs Of the league at the particular
time.
This having been the practice right
along why make a fuss about a little
matter like a few advertisements.

FOR MORE AND BETTER DAIRY HERDS
First Articie-Don't Garry All the Eggs In One Basket.
By J. G. Haney, Agri. Ezten. Dept, international Harvester 10.

There never was, in the history of
this region. such rapid extension of the
dairy industry az is taking place at
the present time. There are many old
plants Being opened. extensions and
new ones built. This indicates that
there are more cows being MIXED
than v e before. The reasons for
this increase in dairying may be hard
to give, but 1t Is evident that many
are finding that they need q constant
n certain income to meet the run
ming expenses Of the farm and there
Is no line Of farming. that is more re-
liable than dairying.
At the present time there are two
outstanding advantages in dairy farm
return to be secured from milking
cows will appeal to more farmers
than the other important advantage,
which is, that on a we'll managed dairy
farm practically all the feed grown is
marketed in a more concentrated and
valuable form, and that such q sys-
tenn admits Of maintaining the fertil-
1ty OF the soil to the best possible ad-
vantage.
The Northwest, especially the GEN.
trail sections, may be said to Hbe pass
ing the first stage Of her agricultural
development-grain farming and
from now on q more diversified, or
safe system" Of farming, must be
practiced. It may be hard to find a
good and satisfactory reason for the
passing Of the profitable production.
Of small! grains, but 1t is realized BY
all that such Ia the fact. 40
Grain Farming Means Selling Fertility
When only grain crops are grown
continuously, 1t means that there is a
drain on the fertility, or plant food.
In the soil, and it must be realized
that no SOL can grow crops such as
have been grown in this section year
after year. without % or later
reaching a point where production
will cease to be profitable.
When fat stock and dairy products
are sold from the farm, only a small
portion of the plant food taken from
the soil is disposed of. The greater
part Of the elements Of plant food may
be returned to the soil ip the shape 81
oarnyard manure; This becomes very
evident when we compare the value
OF plant food contained in different
products from the farm, which ia

SOMEBODY MUST BUY

In all the discussion of the effect
on prices Of selling wheat for future
delivery 1t seems difficult for many
OF the disputants to get it into their
heads that whenever anything Is sold
it must also be bought. There can
not be 4 seller unless there Is a buyer.
We are told occasionally hat this OF
that interest has sold a million, OF
q billion, bushels of wheat which II
did not possess. and which it neve.
expected to deliver. That transac-
ton is held to be highly immoral and
injurious to the public. But IL this
imaginary wheat was sold. somebody
must have bought it. Who was the
buyer?
No man car force another into q
transaction Of this kind. An offer to
sell does not mean a sale. Before
there can be a transaction someone
must be found to take the other end
OF 1t, and the man who sells must be
prepared to deliver or take the Con-
sequences. And the man who sells
beyond his power to deliver at the
specified price has put himself into
a dangerous position, az a good many
lei have found to their cost.
Eliminating the element of legiti-
mate business altogether, and con-
sidering only the gambling features
Of the grain trade. tho grain gambler
Is utterly Indifferent as to whether
prices so up or down. II he thinks
prices are going up he will bet on
an advance. II he thinks they will
decline he will bet on q drop, just
a. at . horse ace he will bet on the
horse that he thinks will win.
The grain game is one that anyone
can play. IL he has the price. II it
is true. as 20 many of our amateur
economists are convinced that the
short side Of the market Is the only
one in which there is any profit why
- it that all the professional gamblers
do not get on that side? They are
right on the job all the time. They
are thoroughly familiar with the
game. Why do they not learn sense
and get on the winning side?
The fact is that there is no "short"
group and no "long" group in the
wheat market. The Spectator is
found first on side of the market and
then on the other. He is after profits,
and he doesn't care on which side he
makes them. He bets on what he
thinks the price Of wheat will be,
and he bases his judgment on such
information as he a get as tt chang
ing crop conditions and changing
business conditions which may influ-
ence demand. He is a buyer as often
as he Is a seller. And, whichever
side Of the market he may be for
the time being, unless there is some
body else, with an equal amount OF
money to risk, on the other side, he
cannot do business. II the sale of a
given quantity depresses the price,
the purchase which must be part Of the
sale transaction must have quite the
opposite effect. For every bushel Of
wheat, real or imaginary, that is sold,
a bushel of wheat must be bought.
