For many years the rTnlted States

agriculture take care OF itself There
has been no national policy OF a con-

farmers, caused billions OF dollars in
losses By ghrinkage IA the value OF

CHILD WELFARE IN NORTH DAKOTA

The first really comprehensive and definite effort to
deal adequately with the problem of child welfare in
North Dakota represented by the work of the North
Dakota Childrens Code commission which has just been
laid before the people of the state in the form of
haustive report of survey made during the last
and proposed code Of laws covering all phases of
child welfare conditions The work of the commission
and the conditions it's Investigations have uncovered
beginning command the serious attention of the
public generally, and the code Of % bills the coming
legislature will be asked to enact into law will
doubtedly be of the important features Of the
work of the houses that will assemble in Bismarck in
January.
The program proposes state bureau of child vel
fare to have general charge of administering the code
enforcing the welfare laws and regulating institutions
in the state dealing with children. County welfare
boards, revised and enlarged Juvenile court system
with county judges juvenile commissioners other
features Of the program. The commission emphasizes
that it proposes nothing radical expensive but its
plans largely revision and Improvement of exist
ing laws the supplying of deficiencies and the Welding
of the present scattered into complete and
self operating code Of which the state welfare bureau
would be the central motive force.
1t is pointed out in the report that of other
states have already taken advanced steps similar to
that contemplated in North Dakota and the legislature
will be urged to bring this commonwealth into line
with her sisters in this is many other
of activity.
The Code commission is substantial body and its
work is believed to have been performed entirely out
side the realm of party and personal politics. 1t is
backed by of the most prominent and powerful
organizations in the state. Its proposals will undoubt
edy receive the serious consideration of all classes Of
thinking men and women of North Dakota and should
be given the kind of attention by the legislature
soon to convene. The public we'll as legislators
should obtain copies of the commissions report with
digests of the proposed code, and inform themselves
regarding this important question which has become
Of the leading subjects before progressive leaders

children-especally the neglected and DEPENDENT de-

change within the last 20 years and laws and legal

PROFITABLE FARMING

Farmers ought to be able to make some money at
the prices Of farm products We do not refer
the price of wheat which is too low to permit the
farmer to grow this product at profit to oats,
providing the grain is sold at the market price quot
ed. What the Independent does refer to is number
of other products that every farmer should be produc
ing in abundance, and it is most encouraging thing
to know that quite large number of our farmers
producing these very things Let consider turkeys
for an example. F. S. Woodiwiss of Norwich was in
Minot Saturday marketing his turkeys. He informed
the Independent that he had raised 100 turkeys this
year, or perhaps misunderstood him and should say
that they raised by his wife. At any rate these
turkeys are being sold the Minot homes for 40 cents
pound, rough dressed The price for rough dressed
turkeys will probably be as cents pound this week,
Mr.. Woodiwiss stated. The turkeys average ten or
twelve pounds The hundred will bring in the neigh
bor},ood of $5eOOO. They raised without much
expense They ate bugs and grasshoppers about the
farm during most of the Nearly every farmer
in Ward county raised few dozen turkeys this year.
Granville farmer produced more than 500 Of them,
we told. 1t would be surprising to know the total
value Of the turkey crop in northwestern North Ia
kota for this year. The value of the Chickens ducks
and geese would add several hundred thousand dollars
to this figure
Strictly fresh eggs are retailing at the Minot stores
for 60 cents a dozen at present. The price will b
higher.
Butter and butter fat are selling at figure that
nets the farmer a fair profit
Even potatoes that were cheap in the fall that
farmers thot them hardly worth the cost of digging
and in consequence thousands Of acres were left to
freeze in the fields, selling at figure that
means nice little profit. One variety, the Trumphs,
are worth around dollar bushel.
Hogs are not bad price. Illinois farmers used to
manage to make little profit on hogs when they were
selling at $500 per hundred weight when their land
was selling at around a hundred dollars an acre. OF
course that price would big loss to our farm
ers now but when hogs selling at around $775 in
St. Paul. for good medium weight stock, the farmers
ought to manage to work out profit considering the
price of feed.
Our farmers have been trying to figure out
profitable way of growing and marketing wheat This
has been ruinous to North Dakota and it will be ever
thus Forget wheat. Think Of cows, butterfat, tur-
keys chickens, eggs, hay corn and-yes, we will add
potatoes In spite of the experience of the grow
ers of potatoes have had this you will find any
number who going to keep right on growing po-
tatoes next year, only in intelligent manner
that comes from experience.

CLEMENCEAU CRITICIZES AMERICA

rather sharp things about country, during his

while this venerable French savior is dearly beloved
throughout America it is doubtful if his mission here
will meet with He says he came here princi
paly to induce America to participate in the untangle
ment of European AFFAIRS realizing that America only
can avert another great war
America is getting used to criticism We realize
that world power, but want to be let alone
and be permitted to go about our own business. We
are not even thanked for what have already done
for the European countries, since the World start
ed We would respectfully refer Mr.. Cemenceau to
that startling article "Notes the War Debt, in
the Nov. Is issue of the Saturday Evening Post
America has just about gotten her fill Of aiding the
European countries when there are little prospects of
ever getting anything in return The Allied countries
owe America about eleven billion dollars for loans
and interest. None of the principal and very little of
the interest has been paid to Lord Baour of
England recently urged all Of the Allied countries to
charge off the debts owing to each other notwith
standing the fact that the United States would be
charging off five billion dollars than Great
Britain. The United States paid cash for all the war
materials bought in Europe, yet there is not sug
gestion that this money be paid back to u.s. if the
debts are to be forgotten.
The United States may be able to collect this
debt from the European countries and should this be
the case, own country will have paid the entire
German indemnity.

may believe in the church, but unless the preacher tells
you a few plain facts and then, you apt to
become tr1e careess.--No matter how capable your
minister may be- he needs the hearty support Of the
entire congregation.
And so it is with the Association of Commerce. The
President Mr. Danelson cannot be surpassed and his
secretary Mr.. Mlloy, displays equal capabilities but
they want to feel that the people of Mino for whose
interests they working, appreciate just what is be-
ing done. You always get man to appreciate an
organization better when he is given definite work
to do in it.
Some cities engage "experts" to conduct these COM
munty revivas Minot thought that it might be better
to import one of these individuals but learned that it
has been possible to bring the campaign to successful
consummaton with the assistance of our own COM
munity workers. Instead of proving calamity the ex
perence has resulted in positive asset, for it has

today.
The growth Of a city cannot be retarded when such
