BENTON'S COMEBACK
IS PROBLEMATICAL

CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-Return of RUDE
Benton, former Giant pitcher, re-
ported to have been purchased from
the st. Paul American association
club by the Cincinnati Reds, to major
baseball, today was regarded as prob
lematical, Ringing upon Investigations
by K. NJ. Lands, commissioner of
baseball, of his alleged connection
with the 1919 worlds series scandal.
Reports from New York quoting
John Heydler, president of the Ma
tional league, as indicating Benton
would be barred from that circuit,
brought new turn to the situation
yesterday. President B. B. Johnson
of the American league, previously
had stated Benton would not be per
mitted to play in that organization.
shooting the free attempts is the thing
which any team must be able to fall
back upon. One man should be drilled
on the duty and kept on it Throughout
the season, unless that one player be
comes incapacitated to such an extent
that he can no longer be depended
upon.

For the month of November, the
administration at Washington claims

100000. If the pace set in cutting
and slashing expenses is maintained,
the Harding administration will esta-
blish a record in the way of real
economy and efficiency. The matter
really reached the government print
ing offices, and this last week, the
editors of this paper received notice
that the publishing of scores of use
less bunk bulletins, pamphlets and
books for general distribution was
ordered discontinued. This order will
very materially reduce the require
ments of extra sized waste paper
baskets about newspaper offices, to
which about IS per cent of this junk
was promptly consigned. In addition
to saving enormous amounts of
money for the government, it may
also help to reduce costs of paper for
legitimate business.

RELEASING DEBS

Eugene V. Debs, four times the
Socialist candidate for president of
the United States, and twenty-four
other prisoners who have been confined
in federal prisons for espionage, were
set free by President Harding on
Christmas eve. Debs had served
2 1/2 years Of 10 year sentence.
Debs has been warned by Attorney
General Daugherty not to commercial
ize his imprisonment. He has not
had his citizenship rights restored,
his sentence having been only COM
muted. He states that he will work
for the freedom of other prisoners
who are not as guilty as he was.
There are those who would treat
Debs as a martyr and while the
country at large are satisfied with the
Presidents action, they believe that
Debs. deserved all the punishment be
received. Deb's release will prove
! specially pleasing to the hundreds

voted for him for president yeal

Business in 1921 has been satisfactory
according to available reports. One
of the largest merchants informs the
Independent that his gross sales dur
ing 1921 were but ten per cent lower
much lower, this means that this
store did much larger volume Of
business. The wholesale houses and
jobbers may not have done so we'll.
The merchants have been buying more
carefully and those who were wide
awake put on aggressive advertising
campaigns and cleaned up much of
their stock.
An attempt will be made to cut
down expenses during 1922. Already
wages have been reduced and there
may be further cuts. 1t may be
necessary to get along with fewer
employees. No business concern likes
to lay off any of it's employees. This
is poor time for the man to go out
and hunt up another job. Some con-
Germs are offering their employees
half time in order to keep them on the
payroll until business conditions i'm
prove.
The wide awake merchant will not
reduce his advertising appropriation
for 1922. This may sound like a
little cheap advice on the part of the
newspaperman, but it is a fact never
theless. There is always a certain
amount of business to be done. The
aggressive merchant is going to get
his share of it. The merchant who
remains in the back ground is certain
to see business rushing past his door.

and are planning on putting in average
sized crops, in hopes that the market
prices will be more favorable even
tually. Most of the farmers have
saved sufficient seed or they will be
financed by those interested in their
success. This has been an unusual
ly favorable winter for stock and little
feed has been required so far. Nearly
every farmer saved some grain,
enough to pay his running expenses
during the winter. A very large
number are now receiving income
from cream, butter, poultry and eggs.
The situation is certain to be better
in time and even though conditions
may not be the brightest, we should
gain some consolation in the fact that
we are better off here than the farm
ers most anywhere else.
The real estate loan companies
consider first farm mortgages in
North Dakota very safe risk, and
while many concerns will lose large
sums on money they have loaned on
the high priced land in Iowa and
Illinois, they cannot possibly lose any,
thing on their North Dakota loans.
AS dark as things may frequently
seem for our own farmers, they still
have much to be thankful for and much
that should encourage them.
i The North Dakota farmer has learn
ed much. One of the costliest lessons
and we might say the most important,
is not to depend on any one crop, es-
pecially wheat. Henceforth farm
ing in North Dakota means growing
potatoes and corn, sweet clover, the
smaller grains, some wheat Of course,
and paying strict attention to poultry
and to dairy cattle. Any number Of
our farmers this year made more cold
cash off small flock of turkeys than
they did off their entire grain growing
operations. A hundred turkeys on
every farm is slogan adopted in
many rural communities, and a good

MARKETING POTATOES

A large number of potato grower:

rooms Tuesday and aired their troub

reports \of receiving unsatisfactor.
returns on their potatoes, some car
not bringing more than few cents

Other cars shipped early in Octobe
are reported to still be in storage
Enough it is suspected that the com
mission houses may have sold the pc
tatoes, but instead Of renting, ma.
be using the money for other pur
poses. The commission houses arr
not blamed altogether for this state OF
affairs for they most likely are having
their own troubles. The farmers
have learned costly lesson. They
have learned that it is not always safe
to ship to every commission firm on
consignment, even though glowing
promises are made. When a grower
ships to commission firm on consign-
ment, he has little redress if that con-
Germ does not do the right thing.
There are so many excuses that can
be offered and it is hard for the ship
per to prove his case against the COM
mission house. A shortage was re-
ported in nearly every car even where
the potatoes had been carefully
sacked. On account Of ventilation
it is necessary to cleat the car doors
open and when this is done, it is not
possible to seal the cars. This at
fords an opportunity for many bush
els of potatoes to be stolen from each
car. There is of course, chance
for potatoes to shrink on account OF
evaporation. One farmer stated that
he had carefully weighed his potatoes
as he sacked them, putting 120 pounds
in each sack. A week or so later he
weighed the sacks and found they haC
shrunk nine pounds each. Some Of
the potatoes, particularly the Greer
Mountains, had not been fully ma
tured, and they were said to be in {
poor condition upon arriving at thei1
destination. The growers them
selves may be to blame for some Of
their troubles. The Independent be

is expected to keep on smiling and

crop which he is almost certain is not

can keep this up, nobody knows, but

INSPECTION OF MEATS

Mlnot could well afford to follow the
example of Devils Lake in providing
central slaughter house and abbatoir
for the use of all the butchers of that
city as we'll as for the farmers of that
district. This has been in use for
several years and you could not in
duce the Devils Lake folks to 90 back
to the old methods of preparing their
meats. The central plant is Kept in
sanitary condition. All refuse is
burned. There is no breeding place
for flies and there is no offensive
dor about the place. The meat is
hung up in cooling room for a
period after it is butchered and all
animals, as we'll as fowls, that are
killed in the city are sub ject to in
spection before and after the process
Of butchering. At first this caused
4 little complaint on the part of the
farmers who did their butchering at
home and disposed of their meat in
the city, but now they are as we'll
pleased with the plant as anybody
A Devils Lake man stated that it was
surprising how many animals were at
lrst turned down by the inspector.
There were cattle and hogs that were
not fit for butchering. There were
aven cases where an attempt was made
to get rid of diseased poultry. One
does not always know just what is Of
Fered for sale. AS rule, we believe
shat the farmers would not think of
ringing in anything not fit for con-
''n1ption, but in any community
there are always cases where an in
S1ection is advisable. The local
markets themselves would welcome
';ch an inspection. Only recently,
local butcher refused some dressed
'o''ltry because it had been killed too
'ng before it was offered for sale.
The owner found a ready market for
among the residents Of Eastwood
'ark. Such instances are perhaps
lot common. AS we stated before,
ve believe that our farmers as q
lie, are strictly honest and would
1T offer for sale anything which
'ey would not use on their own tables
an inspection would give our peo-
!e assurance of getting nothing but
""Hd wholesome meat. All we'll reg.
lated cities have such an inspection
iiinot has been talking about it fol-
! decade. Let's not see 1922 pass

commission firms not only refuse to
remit, but have paid no attention to
letters of inquiry sent by the shippers.
The Association of Commerce is pre-
pared to give this affair the widest
publicity and the Independent will
join the other newspapers in printing
all of the facts and publishing the
names of the dishonest commission
firms. The farmers are disheartened
They need their money and if there is
any way Of getting it, the Association
of Commerce will see that returns are

BUSINESS AND POLITICAL
LOANS

Fargo Forum: No better evidence
of the difference between business"
and "po!itical" loans is needed than
the case of the $4,000 loan by the
Bank of North Dakota to D. J. Nc
Mahon, an uncle of Congressman
Baer's wife.
The borrower was not even resi-
dent Of the State, nor farmer. He
was a land dealer living in St. Paul.
He was loaned $4,000 on certain
lands in Golden Valley county. The
purpose of the loan evidently was to
permit him to take up a prior loan OF
$4,000. It was several months after
rhe loan was made before a quit claim
4 deed was secured to the properly, and
NOW this deed cannot be recorded be-
cause of unpaid taxes. The land has
been sold for the 1920 taxes, amount
ing to over $500, and the 1921 taxes
have meanwhile accrued. Also no
;pavments Of interest or principal nave
heen made on the loan.
In addition to these factors which
make the loan highly Objectionable
there is a very good reason to believe
chat. the appraiser put an excessive
valuation on the property.

The law was not designed to ald

Nor was It designed to aid land DEAL
