bration thare will be a big street par
ade to depict the progress Of 40 years
Prairie schocners, oxen, ancient farm

automobile and other almost forgotten
vehicles will be in line. There will
also be the modern array Of farm
equipment, automobiles, etc.With many
beautiful floats. Every community in
Northwestern North Dakota should

Eautonob obiles, floats, banners and band
if possible. As an advertising feature
it will be hummer for thousands
will see the parade. Community clubs
and local units of the Northwestern
North Dakota Development Associa-
ton should get busy at once and plan
to have their community represented
on at least one of the big days. !
There will be special features dur
ing the afternoon at the famous River
side park in Minot and families from
this section of the state who have
not been ii Minot to see the animals
swimming pool, park improvements,
ETC., are urged to come during the

ty Of space If they wish to camp over

ly no expense to it!
Each evening of the two days at 8 |
p. M. there will be the elaborate his
torica pageant telling the history of
Northwestern North Dakota since the
beginning of time. This section of
the state has history. We should all
be familiar with it. The pageant will

the Burlington Regulators" and the
founding Of Minot will be shown a.

wonderful tableau of "Progress'.
The pageant is to be presented in a |
amphitheater four blocks from

scenery will be all that can be desired
Professional producers are now busy
training more than 400 people to take
part and every section of Northwest
ern North Dakota will be represent
ed in the cast. 1t is not being run
as money making proposition. If
the Association Of Commerce breaks

admission prices are only so cents for

low admission prices.
We, want this to be wonderful
celebration and we need your help.
Are you going to help US?

in cur annual consumption, Congress.
man Anderson said: aIt was due t
the bad Industrial conditions Of unem.
ployment and Industrial depression
In other words, the country is suffer.
ing from under-consumption and moi
over-production. On the other hand
when the farmer cannot sell his crops
at a fair price, he has no money te
buy clothing and farm machinery
and the city worker who makes these
articles are thrown out of employ
ment. Between the producing classes
whether in the field or factory, there
is an inescapable identity of interests.
Why the Farmer Spurns the Tariff
Politicians have recently expressed
surprise that the farmer is no longer
greatly interested in the tariff. The
reason is that the farmers have dis
covered that only about IL per cent of
the value of their products is export
ed to foreign countries. In other words
nearly nine-tenths Of their market is
found right here at home, and the city
workers constitute the largest part of
that market. In fact, so great is this
interdependence that unemployment
of the city worker invariably brings
hard times for the farmer. The farm
er is not fooled as easily as he used
to, be, especially when he sees high
tariff urged by the same interests
which have so recently debated him.
He has reason to suspect that some of
the self-advertised Representatives
Of agriculture" at Washington are
more adept at milking the farmers
than they are at milking cows.
The Myth of The Good Old Days"
i, The farmers will not go back to
the. "good old days" within the mem
ory of the present generation, when
butter brought ten cents per pound,
eggs were five cents dozen, chickens
were twelve and one-half cents each
or $1.O0 for twelve, while oats and
corn brought from ten to twenty cents
bushel. Even with there prices, the
farmer often got paid in "due bills"
which he had to trade out with the
merchants who bought his produce.
The basic reason for these low prices
was the poverty of the industrial
worker, who received but from 90c to
$1.25 for days work.
So long as hundreds of thousands of
workers families had to live on less
than $500 a week. farm produce brot
almost nothing, and the farmers got
only a niggardly living in return for
their toll. Conversely, the so-called
high wages of the war years brought
farmers the most prosperity they
have ever had.
These are the facts underlying the
rapid spread of the Farn-Labor Un-
ions throughout the southwest. They
explain the expanding alliance of the
two producing classes for political ac-
ton. The most revolutionary discov-
cry Of modern agriculture is not the
magic of irrigation nor the marvellous
yield of scientific crop production. It
it the farmers discovery of the in
dustrial worker as his best friend, his
necessary customer, and natural ally.
