THE "NORTH DAKOTA BRAND

1t is to be hoped that the plan to
make use of the North Dakota official
brand in marketing potatoes, will
mark the beginning Of a much more
ambitious attempt to make North Da-
kota products known the world over.
Probably many North Dakota citi-
zens do not even know that there is
an official state brand or trademark
so little has it been used. But North
Dakota has had such an authorized
trademark for several years. The law
creating it was passed by the legisla-
ture and it makes it possible for far
mers of this state, through co-opera-
tive marketing associations, or even
through regular shippers, to send out
North Dakota brand potatoes, or
cheese, or butter, or farm products
of any kind.
Certain business trademarks are
worth fabulous sums. No big manu-
facturer doing a national OF world
business would be willing to even fix
ia value on his trademark. 1t stands
as guarantee of quality, and it's val
'ue represents the accumulated sums
spent in advertising it and creating
confidence in it. That confidence can
be created only through continuous
and carefully planned publicity, and it
can be retained only through contin-
ued excellence Of product. The brand
of one of the big packing companies
for instance, is an absolute guarantee
of the quality of it's meats. No house
wife questions the quality when she
sees one of these trademarks. She
knows exactly what she is buying. II
lit is "first quality, she knows there
is no better to be bought. If it is
"second quality, she is so Informed
i by the brand itself.
If North Dakota could establish 81
milar confidence in it's brands of farm
products, it would mean higher prices
, for everything grown in this state. If
, for example, the housewife Learned
that "North Dakota brand" potatoes
meant potatoes of certain size, free
i from dirt, culls, and frostbitten stock
F.; she would be willing to pay a prem
ium for them.
The only way to create this conf
dence is through an advertising cam
paign, and the only way to retain il
is to find some way to make every
shipper live up to the very highest
standards meticulously.
| The North Dakota Potato Growers
Exchange is planning to do this, anc
lit is to be hoped that the North d.
kota brand will soon be used for Other
products as we'll.
Every housewife can help the work
along by asking for "North Dakota
brand products as soon as they are
available.-Forum.

Ramsey county farmers will sta
Billie the harvest and threshing la
Dor wages as well as the price to be
paid by the farmer for threshing
grain this fall, if the movement now
on foot develops as it is hoped.
At meeting, we'll attended by
farmers and threshermen held Yin Dew
lis Lake on Saturday, July 8, the
harvest labor and threshing situation
was discussed from all angles. 1t
was the consensus of opinion that
most of the difficulty in securing and
keeping harvest and threshing help
was due to the fact that standard
wage has not been paid in all sections
in the past. This has caused harvest
hands to move about looking for the
place where wages are higher, which
not only means a loss to them, but
also causes the farmer trouble in
keeping crew. Therefore it was de-
cided that fair wage be accepted as
standard and farmers and thresher-
men be urged to pay this wage in all
sections.
Farmers and threshermen agreed
that the system Of paying for thresh-
ing by the hour regardless of the
amount of work done was unfair and
unsatisfactory. After considerable
discussion it was decided that the
farmer should pay for threshing his
grain at a certain rate per bushel as
has been done until the last three
or four years. The rate per bushel
for the different kinds of grain
threshed to be decided at a meeting
of farmers and tsreshermen to be
held at Devils Lake on July 20. At
this time it will be possible to closely
estimate yields and establish a fair
price. There was practically no OPP
position to this change by thresher-
men present.
The following scale of wages which
corresponds almost exactly with that
which was accepted in Ward county
recently was thought reasonable and
accepted as the standard for Ramsey
county:
Harvest (shockers and binder men)
$500 per day; soc per hour.
Threshing (bundle men and field
pitchers), $3.50 per day; Csc per hour.
Spike pitchers, $500 per day; 40c
per hour.
Team and wagon (bundle tean1) j,
$500 per day; zoe per hour.
Cooks for ~ team rigs, $500 per
day.
Separator men and engineers, $40
per day.
While there is noticeable increase
in the demand for men for the rye
harvest, it has scarcely begun, Mrs.
Mintie Bowe, director of the federal
employment bureau, said yesterday
With continued favorable weather,
the call will assume large proper
tions toward the last of the week, she
/ predicted.
Laborers are gradually drifting in
to town but in no larger numbers
than preceding years. The men are
awaiting the rye harvest and pass
up offers for general farm work. The
requests for this kind of help are
going unheeded largely, Mrs. Bowe
declared.

The state executive committee OF
the nonpartisan league has issued a
call for meeting Of delegates at Bis
marck on Saturday, July 18th. 1t has
been stated that this meeting is for
the purpose of considering plans for
financing the league and liquidating
it's debts. Delegates who attended the
Fargo convention last spring are re-
uuested to attend the Bismarck con-
vention. Merely as a guess on our
part, we do not believe they will have
nearly as large an attendance at the
shake-down meeting as they had at
the former one. It's mighty hard for
a man to dig down in his jeans to sup
port a failing organization and that
the nonpartisan league is in that class
is pretty generally admitted by ev-
eryone with the possible exception of
the more rabid members. Of course
there are many members who have
affixed their names to accommodation
notes and stand good chance of hav-
ing to pay them but that means little
IN the lives of other members who
were lucky enough to get by without
signing and those other members are
not apt to lose very much sleep over
the predicament in which their COM
rades find themselves. We wonder
where the Silt, 900 Frazier Fund has
gone to. Of course it takes SOME
money to put Frazier over but we
didn't suppose that fund would disap-
pear in the primary election. The
league really should employ a pur-
chasing agent and shop around lit
tie and they wouldn't be so apt to
get stung. Frazier, even to his most
intimate friends, isn't worth nearly
that amount of money in any post
ion and we consider the spending of
that amount in his support a reck-
less extravaganza. But then-it takes
cash to run a newspaper and we
haven't heard the en-. sending up
it's regular howl for financial aid for
some time SO we suppose they could
account for the larger share of the
$1.00 contributions. There's one con-
ISOLATION in being an l. V. A.-you
can sit on the outside and watch the
frantic efforts to obtain funds with
out any feeling of apprehension as
you know you wont be bothered by
the frenzied fianciers of the league.
Attending a federal court is some
job we desire to say after doing our
bit along these lines. In the recent
term of court held at Devils Lake at
which session we were juryman we
were struck with the tremendous
amount of work of that court occas-
Toned by the breaking of the law I'M
der the Volstead act and of that of
the government in regard to selling
liquor to the Indians. Case after case
was on the federal docket for this
item alone, taking up almost the en-
tire term of the court. Moonshining
seems to be rampant all over the state
and persons engaged in that pastime
do not seem to realize the fact that
the Volstead law is on the statute
books of the country-and many of

We like the attitude of the govern
ment in the way the strike question
is being handled. The president and
encouragement have taken the mat
ter in hand and have made the asser-
ton that the mail trains will be kept
running no matter what the cost. This
is step in the right direction. This
latest strike as we'll as the coal strike
which has been in operation for long
time have no justification in the eyes
of the public who have been "striked'
to death. A large number of the men
thrown out onaccount of the strikes
are not in sympathy with the move-
ment. The American public wants a
lay-off on the strike proposition and
an equitable adjustment without in
turing either the public or the labor
ing men.

Sunday dancing has been placed
under ban by Attorney General
Sveinbjorn johnson who has sent out
a letter to all proprietors of public
dance halls in the state. The attor-
ney general, who is in charge OF the
state license department, said that
country barn dances had become so
numerous in North Dakota that many
communities are scandalized by dane
ing after midnight Saturday night
and on Sunday night. While most
cities have their own ordinances regu-
lating dancing, the country dance
halls have escaped this regulation
The ban is placed under the law which
prohibits public sports in this state
on Sunday with specified exceptions.
