There are any number of farm
hands walking the streets looking for
work and there are any number of
farmers anxious to employ these men,
but they can't agree on price. The
farm hands want $40 per month,
bard and washing and the farmers
declare they are unable to pay this
price, considering the price of pro-
duce. Many farmer, who has gone
thru a series of lean years will be
compelled to tie up an extra outfit,
rather than pay exorbitant wages.
These men ought to be reasonable.
The laborer is entitled to receive all
that the farmer is able to pay, but
re should remember that the farmer
anClst have some assurance of making
"a profit. During the past four or
five years, the farm hands have had
all the best Of it. The farm owner
would have made money, exchanging
places with his hired hand. A farm
hand can go out onto farm and he
Is certain Of substantial pay check
at the end of the month: The Inde-
pendent believes that the farmers
ought to have something to say about
the price they are going to pay for
their hands and if they will stick to-
gether, they are certain to get them
at a fair price.

Four-Fair Circuit to be Considered

Carl E. .Danielson, president of the
Association of Commerce has been
authorized by the board of directors
to name committee of three to at
tend a meeting called by Commission
er of Agriculture Kitchen in Bismarck
next week for the purpose of consid-
ering the advisability of forming a
four-fair circuit for North Dakota.
Ward county has purchased it's fair
grounds and will soon start improv-
ing them. Mandan has first class
fair grounds and Fargo and Grand
Forks have been holding state fairs,
turn about. The state appropriates
$10,OOO.OO a year for state fair pur-
poses and this money has been used
in building up the Fargo and Grand
Forks fairs. There is no good reason
why the Ward county and Mandan
airs should not participate in sim
liar subsidy.

Mlnot merchants never felt the need
of good roads more than they did
during the past. winter. For several
weeks Minot was practically cut off
from its trade territory by the cold
weather and snowy roads. Business
was necessarily dull during that per-
iod. Our merchants "got by" but
just as quickly as the roads were
ipassable, autos from so and 100 miles
away made journeys to Minot. Bust
ness has come back in remarkably
pleasing manner and many of our
merchants report that their sales are
averaging up we'll with former years.
With good roads program about to
be put into effect, Minot will soon be
linked up with all Of the principal
cities of Northwestern North Dakota
and our trade territory will be ex-
tended.

SUCCESS

1t must be pleasing, indeed, for
young man to return to his home
town, as Capt. Howard Huston did
this week, and receive the plaudits
of thousands of old friends. Howard
Huston has endeared himself to his
home folks. 1t is a splendid thing to
go into foreign land and win a
place in the world thru ones own
efforts, and it is finer still to know
that one has so deported himself back
m his old home town in such man.
ner that the folks will not say that
he's just an accident. North Dakotans
are entirely familiar with the story
of how Howard Huston, q poor farm
er lad, carved out his own career.
They remember how he came to Minot
without funds, determined to get a
high school education. They remem-
Der how he washed dishes for his room
and board. He didn't let the lack of
funds stand in the way of getting an
education. He must have envied the
lad who always had spending money
in his pockets and VINO could afford
TO wear better clothes than he did.
The very fact that he had to get along
without these things IS one Of the
reasons why he has succeeded 50 well.
lie built up strong character by
overcoming seemingly insurmOuntable
obstacles. The writer recalls how
Mr.. Huston spent weeks travelling thru
the state of South Dakota in a humble
Henry buying seed corn, hoping to
make little money to see him thru
the University of North Dakota. The,
venture did not prove a success. He
Bought plenty of corn but he failed
TO realize profit on tin fact there
was deficit that would have dis
scouraged many young man entirely.
He managed to get thru the Univer-
sity somehow, and later ''dug in" and
earned the money to make up the
3oss.
The writer was driving thru the
streets Of Minot with Capt. Huston
Monday afternoon and pointing to a
boarding house he remarked: "There's
wheke picked forty chickens one Sat-
nrday forenoon, when I was attending
school here". And it is not necessary
to remark that he did first class job
at picking chickens.
Today Capt. Huston is Executive
Secretary Of the League of Nations,
with headquarters at Geneva, Switzer-
land. He worked his way up by doing
little things cheerfully and we'll. When
greater opportunities presented them
selves, he was ready for them.
Any young man with the right de-
termination can forge his way up to
the front. If he lacks money, so much
the better for him.

SURREY NEWS ITEMS

A baby girl was born to Mr. and
Mrs. John Kaufman the night of
April II. Mother and daughter are
reported to be doing very well. Sur

Potato Production Largest and Most
Economical in Agent Counties

Potato production in North Dakota
in 1921 was nearly double that of
1920 according to figures collected at
the office of the federal statistician
at Grand Forks, while reports receiv-
ed from field extension agents indi-
cate that the 1922 acreage in this
state will be nearly double that of
1921.
Federal figures give the production
for 1921 at 11,520,000 as compared
with 6,557,O00 in 1920. Cass county
led the state last year with produc-
tion Of 100000 bushels, Trail was
next, then Walsh and Grand Forks
counties, each producing in excess of
one million bushels. Walsh county
led the state with an average produc-
ton of SO bushels to the acre, Grand
Forks and Pembina tying for second
place with 81 bushels to the acre. The
next highest counties in production
per acre were Richland, Trail, Eddy,
Benson, Cavalier, Nelson and Steele.
averaging from 83 to 80 bushels per
acre.

Surrey Honors Howard Huston

A large number of old friends of
Howard Huston gathered at the Sur
rey high school Monday night where
they held a reception in his honor.
John H. Burns was chairman of the
meeting. Many of those present
were former students of Mr.. Huston
when he taught in the Surrey schools.
An enjoyable solo was sung by Prof.
Anderson, superintendent Of the Sur
rey schools.
For more than an hour Mr.. Huston
spoke, telling many interesting things

about his experiences in Europe. It
was one of the most enjoyable of all
the celebrations held in this vicinity
for Mr. Muston.

AS usual, the roads leading into
Minot are without hardly an excep-
ton, in a very poor condition. The
roads outside of the city are in much
better Shape than some Of the streets
at the outskirts of the city. Valley
street might be cited. A farmer mo-
toring to town is given severe -shak-
ing up just as he reaches the city
and he has a similar experience when
he leaves. This gives him plenty of
food for thot while he is in town and
as he drives towards his home. It
doesn't do his disposition any good.
He gets plenty of exercise on the
farm, so he doesn't need that sort of
physical training. Scolding doesn't
do any good. Timely action on the
part Of the proper authorities might
prove effective. We have plenty of
road machinery, drags, etc. Why not
use them?

President Harding is to be congrat-
ulated for shaking things up in the
Bureau Of Engraving down at Wash
jngton. The old time employees who
have been under civil service regu-
lations for many years, figured that
even the president would not dare to
remove them from office. Harding is
a successful businessman. He dem
cnstrated this when as q POOR printer,
ne took Charge Of the Marion Star
and built it up into going concern
that made him money. He evidently
believes in applying these principles
to the government business. He
learned that the Bureau of Engraving
has not been kept up-to-date. 1t does
not compare favorably with private
engraving concerns. Modern ma
chinery has not been installed, per-
haps because it might throw some
body out of job. If the president
will go right on down the line and
cut out some more dead timber, he
will receive the sincere thanks from
an overburdened people.
