DYED A SWEATER

DIAMOND DYES

Every diamond Dyes" package
tells how to dye or tint any worn,
faded garment or drapery new rich
color that will not streak, spot, fade,
or run. Perfect home dyeing is guar
anteed with Diamond Dyes even If
you have never dyed before. Just tell
your druggist whether the material
you wish to dye is wool or silk, or
whether it is linen, cotton, or mixed
goods. For fifty-one years millions
of women have been using Diamond
Dyes to add years of wear to their
old, shabby waists, skirts, dresses,
coats, sweaters, stockings, draperies,

Under the heading Finish the Job,'
the Fargo Forum has the following to
say about the Jamestown convention:
Some clear thinking on the part Of
independent Republicans of the state
is needed between now and the date
of the, jamestown convention.
Fundamentals must NOT be lost
sight Of in tha heat of factional differ
ences.
''W7hat should be the fundamental
aim of the Republican party in North
Dakota?
"Shouldnt it be to finish the job
begun at the recall election?
isn't that the first essential?
"TO finish the job means the cleo
tiOn of an Independent state ticket
from governor down, and the contro!
Of both houses of the legislature.
Thanks to the splendid record
made, to date by the Nestos admins
tration, the situation in regard to the
state ticket looks most promising. Mr.
Nestos and the ticket he heads should
be victorious by a much bigger mar
gin than that given them last fall,
fThe situation in regard to the
legislature is much more uncertain. 1t
will be close unless the detection
from the league is much more pro-
nounced than anyone has. reason TO
count on. 1t will call for hard fight,
and the nomination of clean, high
class candidates if the independents
are to remain in control of the house
and capture the senate.
Surely there can be no disagree
ment between the various factions of
independent Republicans in regard to
either state ticket or the legislative
contests. ....
I'm regard to the senatorial fight
which is,reaching a rather acute stage,
the Nonpartisan league set good ex-
ample to the independent Republi-
cans of the state in party discipline.
"Members of the league came to
Fargo apparently hopelessly divided
on the question of candidates atd
methods. For two days they fought
out their differences. But when they
reached decision everyone swallowed
his pride and accepted that decision"

phate fields, as well as from the exceed
ern Tennessee, adjacent to Muscle Shoals.
Before the war most of this valuable
fertilizer went to France, Germany and
other countries. We did not appre-
ciate the value Of our rich -phos-
phate fields The supply of phosphate
adjacent to Muscle Shoals is almost
inexhaustible. 1t is from this that
the fertilizers will be made. The
Tennessee river is navigable to
Muscle Shoals. Boats now navigate
this big river below the dam. This
makes cheap transportation" con-
tinued Uncle Sam, concluding the
conversation.

TN 1918 this country purchased $780,
and in 1919, $6S,229,54S worth. There
is an export duty paid to Chile for
the nitrate brought out of that coun-
try. In 1918 we paid Chile S20,135,-
$50 in export duties on the nitrate
brought to the United States. In 1914
and other years before the war we
brought from Chile s20.000.000 worth
a year and somewhat less some years.
But we are constant users of nitrate
and should use more. 1t is expected
of those most interested in Muscle
Shoals, in the broad way as help
to our agricultural welfare. that we
will not need to bring any nitrate
from Chile if the great dams and
water power, with the nitrate pro-
duction plants, are completed and
utilized at Muscle Shoals. These
plants need only slight changes so as
to make fertilizer.
The American Farm Bureau Fedora
tion, with an office in Washington,
reports that a strong fight is being
made against the Muscle Shoals de-
velopment by the fertilizer trust
They also claim that big British in
terests that are interested in the
nitrate deposits in Chile are fighting
the Muscle Shoals proposition with
the unseen hand" Government Of
f1cials have intimated to the writer
that some of the propositions made
to lease and operate the Muscle
Shoals water power and nitrate
plants are not made in good faith.

seems to be about what the Muscle

~ fectly frank with you. Your
idea of issuing money against the
assets represented in the Muscle

peal to me-. OF course, bonds would

ish up the Muscle Shoals proposition
and put it in working order. All I'll
have to do is to put my name on this
money. But I say no.

worse than a dead horse for you can
bury the dead horse and he is no

tect and care for this property at a
cost to me of 100000 a year. as !
said a while ago. Besides, it blocks
navigation in the upper Tennessee.
and I'll simply have to remove this
obstruction, If nothing more than to
let boats up the river.
Henry. I feel a bit finicky about
tampering with my money. Neither
my rich relations nor my poor ones
would want to see our money de-
preciate. Your scheme might not
have that effect Of itself, but it would
establish a bad precedent and might
tend to cheaper our money if car
ried on after We got started once.
The principle is wrong.
II wonder sometimes, however, if
our dearest money in the world is
not giving those countries with cheap
money great advantage over us.
The European countries can't afford
to buy dollars with which to buy
American corn, wheat. cotton and
our manufactured products. Our ex-
port trade is at a very low ebb. We
need to sell our goods in foreign
countries for our complete prosperity.

Charting the Air.

EXPECTATION of established and
well used lines of air travel be-
tween Europe and the United States
has grown into certainty in the
minds Of governmental scientists who
are working on its problems. Sew
eral federal departments are cooper
ating in an effort to make the air
safer for daily overseas trade and
passenger traffic, which they believe
to be nearer than the public supposes.
For this development the meteorologi-
cal experts Of the weather bureau.
together with those Of the Army and
Navy. are experimenting and pre-
pairing.
Some interesting things are being
done. Preparations ars afoot to ex-
tend the forecasts now made as to
overland air conditions and to in
, clude those above the Atlantic by
means of complete outfits Of instru-
ments. pilot balloons and other ap-
paratus to be carried on ships Of
| commerce as well as those Of war and
! the revenue service. Regular OBJ
| servations along the ocean lanes then
would furnish data from which pre-
/ dictions could be made of storms and
! wind conditions between New York
and London. just as they are now sup
all aviators throughout the eastern
half Of the United States Of overland
| conditions. This new information
would be so inherently related to land
observations that study Of 1t could
| hardly fsx 10 increase the accuracy
| of the weather forecasts which are
| now SO familiar. No fiier thinks Of
leaving earth without consulting the
recently begun forecasts Of condi-
tions in the upper air. The results
| Of the 'soundings." as the deductions
from the flights of pilot balloons are
| termed. have been found invaluable
| in Indicating what the immediate fu-
| ture free-air conditions over the land
| vii. be.
without the pilot balloons it would
have been impossible, owing to the
| inaccuracy of barometric reports, to
have foretold what wind conditions

= could add SO much to the produc-
tion Of more and cheaper food, and in
such an economical way, as to supply
cheap nitrogen for these lands SO poor
in humus. do not know how cheaply
nitrogen might. be fixed at Muscle
Shoals. but 1t would certainly be much
cheaper than to secure it through
legume growth. 1 figured out once the
relative horsepower equivalent at Nj

to q clover field. The nitrogen flxed

sec river can be properly harnessed 1t

small fraction Of the cost of fixing it
by means Of bacterial or legume energy.
I'm these days of low manpower on
the farms and the need Of more food
economically produced, it would seem
to be almost q crime against civiliza-
tion to not heed this great need for
cheap nitrogen.
'If there is any possible and fair
way to provide that the Muscle Shoals
