It is worthy of note that while personal in
come tax returns in the nation fell of $685.
100000 in 1920, the District of Columbia re-
turns increased over $350,000.
In 1916 only 6,S08 paid income tax, while in
1920 69,730 paid.
These are indisputable facts that illustrate
Washington's greatness and assure q remark

Today in Washington, through the efforts Of
it's public spirited citizenry, there is assured a
tremendous convention hall, and the campaign
is on to make Washington Americas leading

Yet to attract great convention crowds
there must be suitable and sufficient hotel

BUCKING THE BUCCANEERS

In his "Outline of History" Mr.. H.,
G. Wells, the British author, says
among other things, in discussing the
founding of the American government
ON principles of equality and free
dom, "They did not realize that a
free press could develop sort of
constitutional venality due to it's rela-
tions with advertisers, and that large
newspaper proprietors could become
buccaneers of opinion and insensate
wreckers of good beginnings"
In that sentence Mr.. Wells betrays
his ignorance of the history of public
affairs in the United States. His ref
erence to the "venality of the press"
in general is as untrue as his further
statement regarding the proprietors of
large newspapers. Undoubtedly the
opinions of advertisers have consider
able weight with the publishers of
newspapers. They ought to have:
not because the men are advertisers
but because they are leaders in the
industrial affairs of the community in
which the paper is published. The
judgment of men who are leaders in
industry is entitled to the respect of
the press as of everybody else. There
are a few people, too many in fact, in
this country and in other countries,
who think that anything that is ia
vored by a banker or by a sO-called
captain of industry" should be OPP
posed by all of the rest of the coun-
try. While it is true that in some
instances bankers and leaders in in
dustry sometimes favor policies which
are antagonistic to the interests of
the country as a whole, yet the inter-
ests of business leaders are so close
ly interviewer with the interests of
the people in general that ultimately
all must stand or fall together When,
therefore, the press espOuses the same
causes that are espoused by those men
whose ability and industry and thrift
have brought them to leadership In
business affairs, that position is taken
not in opposition to the interests of
the country in general, but in harmony
with those interests.

WANT CLOSED SEASON

A number of old deer hunters of this
county agree that it would be wise
action on the part of the conservation
commission and the state legislature
to close the season on deer hunting
for one or two years and double the
bounty on wolves. Petitions asking
for such action may be forwarded
from this county.
Old hunters claim that wolves made
serious inroads on the deer last win
ter, being enabled to easily run down
and kill the deer on account of the
deep snow and the crust on the snow
which the deer would break through,
while their enemies, the wolves, could
travel ON the surface. One experienced
hunter gives it as his opinion that
more deer were killed by wolves last
winter than by two-legged hunters
Wolves seem to be on the increa sc
with the present bounty at $40.

SAVE YOUR PENNIES FOR TIL
BERCULOSIS CHRISTMAS
STAMPS

If you need Christmas stamps, wait
and buy the T. B. Christmas seals in
stead of the commercial stickers.
The Christmas seals serve more
than one purpose, for they are not
only useful and ornamental, but at
the same time represent our share
towards supporting our own cases of
tuberculosis in the state tuberculosis
sanatoria.
Each year we get one-half of the
money received from the Christmas
seals and this year our half will be
used for hot lunches in our schools.
We will show our spirit of helpful
ness and Christmas cheer by the num-
Der of seals we buy-and let us hope
we will have an abundance of it.
This money from the seals does not
go to the needy ones across the ocean,
but is for our own state, and our own
community-so let's do our bit and dig
down in our jeans with good will
and full appreciation of what we are
giving for.

North Dakota has been coming TO
the front as a potato raising state III
recent years. Four potato buyers
were in MinOt, that state, last week
TO buy choice potatoes, and, accord
ing to the Independent of that city,
a representation of the North Amer
lean Fruit Exchange was there to BUY
900 carloads of Triumphs' for which
he offered $3.50 a bushel or better,
f. o. b. Minneapolis. North Dakotans
seem to he getting action on their
product, while around here there are
few buyers and the prices are low.
The North American Fruit Exchange
which is endorsed by the Farm Blu
reau attempted to stir up interest here
in marketing of the potato crop-the
exchange acts in a sales capacity
early in the fall, but without much
success. though it did make some ar
engagements at Hawkins. It seems to
us that if farmers are going to make
a reasonable profit on their product
they must organize and specialize.

Whether the officials of the Interna-
tional Harvester Company have been
more interested in marriages than IN
machinery may not be decided, but
figures given out by the census bu-
reau would indicate that the trust
had better pay closer attention to bus
mess if it hopes to keep up the ex-
ploitation of men who till the soil.
The census department shows that
in 1921 there has been a decrease OF
Al per cent in the total value Of farm
machinery products sold as compared
with the year before. The largest
percentages of decrease appear in
horse-drawn vehicles and in tractors
and traction engines.
This is a tremendous falling off, but
while ii has been in progress price re-
auctions on farm machinery manufac-
tured at the Minnesota state prison,
granted in response to a request by
the Minnesota Farm Bureau Fedora
ton. have saved farmers of that state
$150.O00 in year.
A report from this prison shows that
7,10S farm machines have been sold
in the last twelve months, including
particularly binders, mowers and
,srakes This represents an increase of
1870 per cent in the use of binders, 80
per cent in the sale of mowers, and 10
per cent increase in the consumption
rakes.
The manufacture of farm machin-
cry in the state prison comes as a
result of farm bureau activity and
should prove an inspiration to other
states, for seemingly way has been
found to get at least the thin end OF
the wedge into the iron ring the
Harvester trust has held around the
throat of the farmer for years.

It was only a few years ago that
many middlemen said that co-opera-
tive marketing would never succeed
in this country. But Minnesota news
papers tell us that the farmer-owned
livestock terminal sales agency, the

pony of South st. Paul, marketed
1854 cars of live stock of all kinds dur
ing the month Of October. We do
not know how that number compares
with the old line companies, but it is
quite a bunch of stock.

GOOD AT FIGURES?
SOLVE THIS ONE

Several Ladysmith citizens have
paid 80 cents per bushel for their
winters supply Of potatoes. They
said that a farmer could not afford
to sell his potatoes this year for any
less. Potatoes are about one-half in
yield Of what they were last year here
and the price is only one-fourth of last
years prices. What makes this con-
dition possible? Get out your PEN
ell and send your answer to the farm

PRAISE NURSES
AND PHYSICIANS

In a statement made by the Dis
trict Commissioners January 30 re-
garding the Knickerbocker Theater
disaster. in which they expressed APP
probation OF services rendered by
various ORGANIZATIONS and individuals.
they failed 20 mention the splendid
services rendered by physicians and
nurses.
This oversight occurred through
inadvertence. and the Commissioners
now avail themselves OF the oppor-
tunity of personally thanking the
large number of physicians and
nurses who performed such heroic
and useful duty on this sad occasion.
This service was purely voluntary
and was rendered as soon as a call
was made. The Commissioners on
behalf of themselves and the citi-
zenship Of Washington cannot too
strongly express their appreciation
and thanks for the good work done
by the physicians and nurses.
