League Administration has lost so
much money that they are now un-
able to pay interest on their Capital
Stock Bonds and tax has to be levied
ior this purpose. The Frazier ad-
ministration levied similar tax in
1919.
The amount levied for interest on
the Mill and Elevator bonds is also
neccssary as the interest on the State
bonds must be paid.
The Soldiers Bonus levy is legis-
Iative levy which must be met and
over which the Board of Equalization
has no control.
In view of the above figures, l be-
lieve any fair-minded person will ad-
nit that the tax levy as made is nee
essary in order to pay up monies ap-
propriated and expenditures authoriz-
ed by the Frazier administration.
Respectfully,
JOHN STEEN,
Bismarck, N. D. State Treasurer.

WARD COUNTY A BREEDING
CENTEP

o. X. >Sipres, Ward county dairy
breeder, sold pure bred Guernsey
cow, without a record, for 81 900 90
last week, at time when the ordinary
milk cow is bringing the lowest prices
in years. This is an important news
item, for it means that farmer who
was not contented with merely milk
ing herd of good grade cows, worked
and planned for years until he is now
owner of one of the best Guernsey
herds in the west. The fact is i'm
portan also in that the cow has
been shipped clear to the state of
New York, to the foreman Of the J. C.
Penney Emadine Farm, who will use
this cow as foundation animal to
breed to one Of the best Guernsey
sires in the east.
Ward county is located away out in
the northwestern part of North Da-
kota. The writer remembers only a
few years ago when it was predicted
that this section of the state would
never amount to much for dairying.
One excuse given was that the win
ters are too severe for a highly bred
animal that thriVes only when given
the best of care. 1t was thot then
that the only animals that would pay
were those that could rough it by get
ting used to back up against north
west blizzard and content herself
chewing her cud of buffalo grass.
That day is past. Good warm dairy
barns now house some of the finest
dairy animals to be found in the
United States. The cows are fed
balanced ration and they produce a
wonderful lot of butterfat. 1t has
been found that the particular brand
of climate that northwestern North
Dakota enjoys is just the kind of
climate necessary to breed a virile
race Of strong healthy dairy cattle.
Our winters instead of being a detri-
ment to dairying, have proved them
selves an asset. Wisconsin is no
longer the only state where choice
dairy cattle may be secured. She has
strong competitor in North Dakota.
Mr.. Spires is not the only Guernsey
breeder of consequence. We mention
him merely as an example. We re-
member when he secured his first
Guernsey cows. He started in the !
grades, did we'll with them and finally |
got into the business of breeding reg
istered Guernseys, exclusively, after |
feeling his way with a pure bred sire |
and some good grades.
AS we have said, Mr.. Spires is not !
the only breeder in the county. |
Colonel Persons herd long ago com
manded national attention and many |
of the Guernseys which he has bred |
are to be found among some of the |
best herds in the United States. There I
are other breeders who are feeling
their way, who are almost sure of |
making big success in time.

BUY A SACK OF POTATOES

North Dakotans are being urged by
the various civic organizations to buy
a sack of potatoes now. Not only
buy one sack, but lay in your winters
supply, will prove a wise thing to
do, for the price, will not be as low
again. Farmers thruout the state
have grown wonderful crop of pota-
toes. They find the price SO low at
present that many have decided not
to dig all of their potato crop. This,
in the opinion of the Independent, is
very unwise. Potatoes are certain to
be fair price before spring. They
in pits or cellars, where it is not pos
sible to market them thru the potato
warehouses.
The early price on potatoes in the
local warehouse was discouraging.
Only 35 cents a bushel was offered
for graded potatoes, sorted over a
two inch screen. After the farmer
had paid 6 cents bushel for picking
them up, 12i5 cents for the sack and 5
cents for handling them through the
warehouse, he found that he had only
~ cents bushel left. The Indepen-
dent is glad, to report that the price
for such graded potatoes in the local
warehouse at present is 45 cents a
bushel. Some of the farmers who
quit digging, are back in the fields,
saving all Of their crop possible.
.Sene of the potatoes in the field
were damaged by the recent freeze.
1t is estimated that the damage was
about 20 per cent and farmers who
are digging the crop now, find it nee
"essary to store the potatoes for about
q week to determine which ones we're
damaged, and then sort them bv hand.
This is slower work, but considerable
money viii be realized in this man.
xer.
The Ninot stores are selling pota-
toes for 60 cents bushel at present.
One merchant believes that the retail
price is apt to be around dollar be-
fore spring. So we would say to the
residents Of North Dakota, store your
winters supply of potatoes now.
North Dakotans can store an addi-
tiona3 million bushels right in their
Easements and this will prove of great
benefit not only to the residents them
selves, but to the growers as well.
A farmer near Minot is advertising
to sell potatoes at Is cents a bushel
IN the field, the purchasers to dig
them.
An offer of 60 cents a bushel is
made in Minot today for the EARLY

Minot Lad Found in Miuneapolis

Clarence Hineline, the 12-year- cd
son of Mr.. and Mrs. 0. E. Hineline,
who disappeared from his home three
weeks ago, was located in Minneapo-
lis. He has returned home telling of
his first experiences in a large city.
He had never seen street cars before.
there were many things the young
fellow had read about but had never
beheld. Wanderlust struck him and
taking his rife, started out to see the
world He went to Kenmare, worked
for a farmer a day or two, expressed
the gun home, then jumped on a
freight train to return to Minot. On
his way here, he determined on going
further and beat his way to Minnea-
polls.

Triumph potatoes, but most Of them
have been marketed.
A good many of the growers made
the mistake OF planting too many
acres to potatoes this year. They
were told by men of experience to
go easy, that five or ten acres were
enough for starter. Some needed
the advice and have been able to take
care of their crops nicely. Others put
in large fields and portion of the
crop was damaged by freezing. Some
Of the farmers have picked up pota-
toes that are so small that the ware
house cannot handle them, making it
necessary to sort out quite large
percentage Of the crop, resulting in
disappointing receipts.

REFLECT JUSTICE BIRDZELL,


The editors of this paper, following
our policy of many years, to be es-
pecially particular as to whom we en-
dorse individually and editorially for
judicial positions, have made careful
inquiry and given much consideration
upon the question of whom to support
for the Supreme Bench in this coming
election. We have inquired of tho
leading attorneys of our city, as we'll
as our leading educators and minis
ters of the Gospel and we find gen
eral unanimity of opinion that the
present Chief Justice, Luther 4. Bird
zell, is entitled to reelection, if schol-
arship, splendid judicial ability and
impartiality in office count, and we
believe it should.
In our own city, we have two of the
members Of the old Supreme Court,
Judges Goss and Fisk, both of whom
are urging their friends to support
and re7elect Chief Justice Birdzell.
These men were among those de-
feated by him at the. election six years
ago and most certainly would not be
from the standpoint Of ability and
fairness he was entitled to their sup
port; and we personally know both of
these ex-judges to Me men Of integ-
rity and that they would not for pure
ly personal reasons support candi-
date for that high office, which they
have held, that they believed did not
fully merit their support and conf
dence. And the same is true of the
members of the bar generally of this
city, nearly all of whom are support
ing the learned Chief Justice Bird
zell for reelection.
1t would seem to US as though under
these circumstances we should, and
we do lend our support to Justice Bird
1ell, and we take pleasure in urging
our readers, no matter what their
politics or to what faction they be-
long, to drop politics, and factionism
and unite upon the reelection of JUS
tice Birdzell
We had hoped to have cut of the
Chief Justice for this weeks issue but,
will try and have it for next week.
This statement is made without hire
or profit to ourselves and as an ex-
preston of our opinion upon this can
didate for judicial honors. Re-elect
Chief Justice Birdzell.

Andrew Miller, judge Of the federal
court for the district of North Da-
kota, who is holding his first Minot
term, is being praised by attorneys
and jurors alike, for the expeditions
and eminently fair manner in which
he is conducting the voluminous busi-
ness of the court. Judge Miller's
charges to the jury are examples Of
sensible, logical thinking. The pri-
soner at bar may be certain that a
just sentence will be meted out to him
if he is found guilty, but one that is
merciful as well.

1t has been brought to my attcn-
ton that the League Press is criti-
cizing the Ncstos administration for
a slight raise in the tax levy for 1922
as compared with that of 1921
The tax rate for State purposes in
1922 is 3.64 mills as against 3.38 mills
in 1921 or an increase of twenty-six
hundrcdths mills (.26).
On the other hand the valuation for
1922 is $1,3O9, 9,07S,716.0O as against
81 378,00O,000 in 1921 or a decrease
Of $68,921 ,2S4 so the total of the taxes
levied for 1922 will amount to 1885,
047, as against $4,657,640 in 1921, or
an increase of only $107 ,407.
All Of these taxes are levied for
the purpose of meeting obligations of
the state either appropriated by the
1921 Legislature, when Frazier was
Governor, or as a direct result of the
League Program, which the following
