COUNTY DIVISION

One hears very little about the
proposed county division which will
come up for vote of the people Of
Ward, Renville and Burke counties at
The November election. At any rate,
this has received very little attention
Of the voters of Ward county to date.
At present, petitions are being
scirculaed in Renville and Burke coun-
ties. In many sections of the county.
the petitions are being literally
signed.
If the county division goes thru on
the proposed lines, Ward colNty will
lose seven townships in the Goose
neck but will gain townships, Mus
kego, Plain, White Ash, Prescott, En-
sign and Van Buren, in the southern
tier of Renville county. Ward county
would then contain Sc townships,
seven one way by eight another.
The Independent learns that very
large majority Of the voters in the
districts to be effected favor the di-
vision along the lines proposed. Those
from Renville county, say they would
be proud to become residents of
mighty Ward, even tho their taxes
might be little higher. Our friends
up in the Gooseneck are friendly
enough to the rest of us Ward county
residents, but they don't like the
looks of the map of Ward county.
They say their children have too hard
a time learning to draw map Of
Ward county and it is next to impos-
sible to "bound it,.
There is considerable difference in
the assessed valuation of the two dis
'tricts, the Gooseneck having far
greater assessed valuation than the
six Renville county townships. This
might make some difference. The
Independent hopes to be able to give
its readers the exact figures soon.
The Independent does not believe
shat great deal Of opposition to the
proposed lines will develop. No one
seems inclined to pay much attention
to it and the chances are that ma
sition in Ward county, at least.
Renville and Burke counties will
have to fight out their own PROPOSE
these counties decide that it will be a
big county out of the two, eliminate
considerable overhead expense, that is

out of Burke and Renviile counties,
the governor viii haze to appoint
county officials for two years. There
will be three county commissioners to
be appointed to do the work that seven
are now doing, considering that Burke
and Renville counties each has three
commissioners, with one in the Goose
neck. Our own county of Ward will
nave to be redistricted for county
commissioners. Perhaps we will have
.Shree commissioners instead of five.
Ward county will not need TO worry

later and the folks up in the Goose

ty court foEse.

In view of daily government mar.

versified farming are realizing the
advantage Of more light on the dairy
business. 4,
If farmers, want to avoid repeti-
ton of what happened a few years
ago when grain markets were flooded
beyond profitable liquidation, they
should seriously consider the practice
of marketing their grain and forage
crop supplies by the milk route.
Every grain farmer who has felt
the sting of depression will welcome
the opportunity to visit the National
Dairy Exposition October Z to ID and
learn how he can rearrange his farm
operations to include few deep milk.

At the exposition this year will be
seen the products Of dairy farmers
from practically every section of the
country where dairy cow can tlnd
profitable keep. The prices received
for other farm produce will tell the
amazing story of the dairyman's pros
perity.

ducts represent channels for disposing
Of large quantities of milk without

tional Dairy Exposition, "of the sup
ply ever running ahead of the demand.
Milk is the nations food for health
preservation and strength building.
The country's health would be much
better if people consumed larger
quantities of dairy products"
At the dairy show Wisconsin will

proitably get into the dairy industry
through her grade cow exhibit of SO

The writer counted no fewer than
dozen straw pile fires on the south
prairie Wednesday night. Straw may
not be worth much at present but we
remember not SO long ago when due
to shortage Of feed, straw stacks
five years old were in demand at a
good price. We may not have such
a feed shortage again in years, but
it should be remembered that when a
straw stack is burned, just so much
fertilizer is going up in smoke. A
straw stack, properly placed. does not
take up much room. Save the straw.

and declares that the work is pro-

Northern officials declare that the
strike is over. There is little dis

back to work, waving their seniority
rights. The new men have formed
an association to replace the union

was settled. Quite number of these

President Harding has vetoed the
soldiers bonus bill and it is said that
poll Of the Senate shows that the
veto cannot be overcome. The Pres
ident made it quite plain that he was
favorable to the measure, but declared
that Congress had passed a measure
necessitating the expenditure of four
billions of dollars, without making
provision for raising the funds. The
members Of Congress can now return
home and demand reelection because
they voted for the measure, but it ap-
pears that there was nothing for the
President to do, but to veto the meas
ure under the circumstances. Still,
he is certain to be severely criticised
from some quarters.

Fewer automobiles have been stolen
n Minot during the past month or
six weeks and there's a reason. In
The future, officers propose to make
it warmer for automobile thieves than
ever before. 1t is we'll known fact
that Minot for several years has been
a hot bed for these mysterious work
ers, very few of whom have ever been
captured and even when arrests were
made, they were able to get away
with very little difficulty. "Hot" cars
have been source Of great profit to
a good many in Minot. 1t is said
on excellent authority that there are
no fewer than one hundred Of these
shot cars" in Minot today. The "own-
ers" of these cars are about to be
dispossessed of them in the very near
future. A complete story of the num-
erous transactions that have taken
place in this vicinity would make very
interesting reading, but the Indepen-
dent and other newspapers have been
asked to keep certain facts out of
print which when they become known
later will prove quite shock to the
community. The true story will all
come out in time, however. If North
Dakotans desire to see automobile
theft insurance remain in force in
our state, it will behoove every good
citizen to lend all possible aid to the
officers in breaking up a ring of
thieves who have been operating all
the way between. Omaha, Neb. and
ScobeV, Mont.

are to be found lettering about every

many thousands of them are in North
Dakota at the present moment. They
will remain until snow flies and will
then hop onto some train and "beat it"
for a warmer cline. They are not
looking for work. This has been
proved most conclusively. They are
"excursionists." They are out for a
good time. They are OF rowing dis

been in nearly every state IN the
Union, and some of them have visited
many of the same states score or
more of times. They live by precari-
Gus methods. Many of them hold up
farm hands who have gathered stake
of few hundred dollars. Many of
them engage in gambling games OF
various sorts. They spend their days

the successful farmer will be the one
who can make his living regardless of
what the price of wheat may be, what

In the meantime, wouldn't it be
