Bottineau county was first on the
list of seven North Dakota counties
i which common barberry bushes
were found by government scouts this
year, according to a report just sent
to Washington by George C. Mayoue,
state leader of the federal forces.
Two thousand full grown bushes
and 500 sprouts were destroyed, this
season, the report adds. During the
major offensive from July i to Oct. /
total of 1,614 bushes were eradicated
in 10. counties. The farm to farm sur
vey, which eventually will cover the
entire state, was completed in ID
counties. Only two, Kidder and Sioux,
were without barberries. With this
summers score the United States de-
partment of agriculture now has q.
record of the removal of approximate
ly 10000 bushes in North Dakota.
In addition to the. fruit bearing
shrubs, 1884 sprouts have been grub
bed out in places where bushes pre-
viously were e~radicated. This year
563 sprouts were destroyed in Cass
county. No wild barberries have as
yet been encountered by the North
Dakota scouts, this state apparently
having escaped a difficulty that is
depaying the progress of the work in
other sections of the spring wheat
area. /y y
Ward county followed Bottineau
with q total af o1E. r~oponvo1c 0fhor
high scores were; Emmons, 201; Ro-
lette 1871; Burleigh' ITO; Grant 120
and McHenry 115. Mr.. Mayoue's rec
ords show that every .barberry bush
located this year has been accounted
for as removed. He believes important
progress has been made in reducing
the menace of black stem rust, the
prevalence of which is charged to the
common barberry BUSH.

SCHOOL NOTES

A picture of last years graduating
class has been added to u collection
at the High School. This picture was
purchased by money which was pre-
sented to the school by Rev. Crouch,
the money coming from the Baeca-
laureate service last June. This was
a very thoughtful gift and we appre4
ciate it very much. We ask all our pa
irons to have a look at it when they
visit the High School.
Next week the Football team goes
to Rugby to play the Football team
representing the High School at that
place, Rugby always has a good team
and our boysare expecting a struggle
as we defeated Rugby last year ard
they are very anxious to get even.

they do ~ 49," .'

RANDOM3 SHOTS

1872 Wool Pool Goes Over Top
Most of the Bottineau County Wool
Growers shipped their wool to their
state pool in 1920 and had to wait
more than q year for their money,
which wasn't much after they did get
it. The average price was 9-13 cents.
Only about 60 per cent of the growers
"stuck by their ship in 1921, refus-
ing to realize that their wool growers
organization was handicapped in it's
efforts not only BY being new in the
business, but becauseof the general
stagnation Of the wook market as
well. The 1921 results were better, the
prices ranging from e18 to % cents
and settlement made in about eight
months. L.. !. 49,:
only about 20 per cent Of the Botti'
.neau County Growers stayed in the
ranks for the 1922 pool. No doubt
all the growers IN the county who
back in 1920 set sail on the good
ship, "Cooperative Wool Marketing"
whether they stayed on the ship for
one, two O. three years, will be in
terested in knowing that the 1922
wool pool has been closed out and ac-
cording to q letter received under date
of October 14th will net the growers
from about IS cents to 50 cents on
the farm. When we consider that most

alone we can be sure that through
over-refinement and technicality
the law may not defeat it's own
purpose.
l speak also for the independ-
ence Of the bar-for the fearless
ministers Of the law who stand
erect in the presence Of power and
defend liberty under law at what
ever cost. Our lawyers have been
prophets of liberty and its most
Jealous defenders. To whom is
the community to look for enlight-
ened advice if not to those learned
in the institutions of government,
in the development Of jurisprud-
ence, who are imbued with the
spirit Of the law, who know where
improvements are needed, and thru
whose wisdom the just and neces-
sary changes may be secured.
There is no greater treachery than
that Of the lawyer who is faithless
to the high ideals of justice for If
he fails, where shall the commune
ty look for the safeguards of free
institutions? The essential basis
Of civilized intercourse in the last
analysis is very largely in the
keeping of the bar.
We are looking today beyond
our domestic jurisdictions in the
earnest desire to establish the
reign Of law among the nations
and to secure the peaceful settle
ment Of controversies. But we
shall be able to satisfy this aspira-
ton only as among our separate
people we diminish hatred, COM
troll the passions that subvert the
judgment; develop the desire to be
just as well as strong, and count
those as enemies Of the national
welfare who seek to breed sus-
picion and distrust.

MONEY KINGS COMPETE
FOR WEALTHlEST MAN
ROCKEFELLER, MELLON AND
FORD EACH HAILED AS THE
RICHEST CITIZEN.

The question of who is the richest
man in America has caused some con-
troversy during the last month and
has shattered the belief that John D..
Rockefeller, for long considered the
! Croesus of America, held the reins OF
wealth in his hands. The new con-
tenders for the honor of being Ameri-
! cas- financial king are Henry Ford and
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon.
The Wall Street Journal says that
Ford is the richest man; James A.
Davis, accounted a reliable financial
expert, backs John D., and Roger W..
Babson. a famous statistician. comes
forward with Mr.. Mellon, even going
so far as to say that Mellon could
probably match, dollar for dollar, the
joint incomes Of Ford and Rockefeller.
Ford's Income Leads.
Ford has the biggest of all incomes
and the most profitable business, but
his business is of such character that
its actual value, the value for which 1t
could be sold, is no more than half its
accurate paper value The Ford bust
ness may return Ford the profits of
$1,000, OOO,0 900 business, yet it is prob
able that if he attempted to liquidate
it he could not get much more than
half of that amount for it.
In that case Ford's business wealth,
though greater than Rockefeller's,
would not be worth as much to one
who wanted to cash in and get out OF
it as Rockefeler's, which is much
more negotiable. Melons wealth is
of a different kind. His is potential
wealth. power over money, opportuni-
ty, if not inclination, to hold posses
sion of more money than any other
living man. He controls more wealth
in his private capacity, according to
Mr.. Babson, including banks, mines,
oil companies and multitude OF bus
mess, than both Mr. Ford and Mr..
Rockefeller together.
Some Huge Incomes.
Rockefeller is considered the richest
man in actual cash. His income is
about SIS 100000 a year, most OF
which he re-invests. His total fortune
is estimated at from $500000,000 to
$750000,000, with the exception that
it will soon reach a billion mark Ford
is said to have the biggest individual
income, but the bulk of the $125,000,-
600 a year which his interests earn
for him goes back into the Ford Mo
tor Car Company.
Mellon pays an income tax on an
annual income of between 100000
and $3,000,000. Ford has paid on S.
100000 and Rockefeller has paid on
the same amount as Ford. Mr.. Mellon,
however, is said to be able to fix his
own income, as he has the financial
power. exclusive of his official position,
to expand as he sees fit, but he is
banker and capitalist rather than an
investor.
