PASSES AWAY
Hundreds Attend Funeral of
Mrs. Ellen Mcdonald at
Mandan Today.

Mandan. N. D.. Feb. 15.-Mrs. Ell
len Mcdonald, 80, the first white
woman to dare the hardships and
dangers of pioneer life west of the
Missouri river in North, Dakota was
buried today with due honors and re-
spect paid her by hundreds of those
who followed her. Mrs. Mcdonald
died Sunday night of general de-
bility incident to old age.
Her whole life was the life of
pioneer. Born in ireland in 1912 she
immigrated to Canada with her par
ents where she lived for few years,
going then to Wisconsin and later to
Faribault, MINI. She experienced all
the thrills and horrors Of the uprising
IN the historic massacre of 1862 and
the attendant panic among the set
tiers. @
In 1865 she was married to John
Mcdonald, who, born at Williams
burg, New York, August 20, 1899, had
travelled by stage and the Great Lakes
and across country to Faribault where
he helped clear the first farm land in
Rice county. In 1872, Mr.. and Mrs.
Burleigh, then located on the site of
the present city of Bismarck. There
were few scattered tent dwellings
but Mrs. Mcdonald was the only wom-
an of the colony When first she came
to this section the only sign of white
habidfion was Fort McKean four
miles from the present city of Man
dan, which was occupied by q small
command of troops which was in con-
tinual skirmish with the marauding
tands of Sioux.
Located on Claim.
1t was in the fall of 1879 that Mr..
and Mrs. Mcdonald located tree
claim about four miles south of the
lowing spring commenced breaking
up land and actual farming.
Two men, Ed Ayers and Albert
Sheppard had previously located
claims but the Mcdonald family con-
sisting of the father, mother, three
&ons and a daughter was the first
family to actually move onto home
stead and commence farm operations
in all of the broad territory which
counties.
Weren't you ever afraid?" Mrs.
HcDonald was asked many times.
Feared? Sure, many times. For
weeks at a time in the first three years
the only white people we saw were

rode the stage coach on the old Fort

kota Agricultural college. r. B.
Flint. state dairy commissioner, is al
80 scheduled for an address this eve
ming.
A record crowd is in attendance
here today and it is thought that an
attendance equally as great may be
expected Thursday inasmuch as the
officers of the townships of the coun-
ty have been invited to meet with the
county auditor and county commits
sioners and to visit the Midwinter
fair.
Unfavonable weather in the after
noon here reduced the size of the
crowd at the Cavalier County Mid
winter fair on Tuesday, and inter-
fered with the afternoons program
as scheduled, but the evening pro-
grams brought out a large attendance.
Addresses were delivered by DR..
Don McMahon and by Prof. G. w.
Randlett both of the North Dakota
Agricultural college.
The woman's section Is largely in
charge of Miss Eulialie Church of the
Extension department of the Agricul-
tural college.
Although all of the exhibits are not
yet In it Is, expected that they will set
a record when they are all entered.
Especial attention has been given to
awarded for the best birds among

Some ASPECTS of the

By BERNARD M. BARUcH

of their inability to meet mortgages or
to pay current bills, and how, seeking
relief from their Ills, they are plan
ming to form pools, inaugurate farm
ers' strikes, and demand legislation
abollshing grain exchanges, private
cattle markets, and the like, we ought
not hastily to brand them as economic
heretics and highwaymen, and hurl at
them the charge of being seekers of
special privilege. Rather, we should
ask If their trouble is not ours, and
see what can be done to improve the
situation. Purely from self-interest,
If for no higher motive, we should
help them. All of us want to get back
permanently to "normalcy;" but is II
reasonable to hope for that condition
unless our greatest and most basic in
dustry can be put on sound and solid
permanent foundation? The farmers
are not entitled to special privileges !;
but are they not right in demanding
that they be placed on an equal foot
ing with the buyers of their products
and with other industries?

Let us, then, consider some of the
farmers grievances, and see how far
they are real In doing SO, we should
remember that, while there have been,
and still are, Instances of purposeful
abuse, the subject should not be APP
preached with any general lmputation
TO existing dstributive agencies of de-
liberately intentional oppression, but
rather with the conception that the
marketing of farm products has not
been modernized.
An ancient evil, and a persistent
one, Is the undergrading of farm prod
ucts, with the result that what the
farmers sell as of one quality is re-
sold as of higher. That this sort Of
chlcanery should persist on any i'm
portant scale in these days of bust
ness integrity would seem almost in
credible, but there is much evidence
that 1t does so persist. Even as I
write, the newspapers announce the
suspension of several firms from the
New York Produce Exchange for ex-
porting to Germany as No. 2 wheat a
whole shipload of grossly inferior wheat
mixed with oats, chatf and the like.
Another evil is that of inaccurate
weighing of farm products, which, 1t
is charged, Is sometimes a matter Of
dishonest intention and sometimes Of
protective policy on the part of the
local buyer, who fears that he may
weigh out" more than he weighs in"
: A greater grievance is that at pres
ent the field farmer has little or no
control over the time and conditions
of marketing his products, with the
result that he is often underpaid for
his products and usually overcharged
for marketing service. The differ
ence between what the farmer re-
ceives and what the consumer pays
often exceeds all possibility of justI-
fication. To cite a single Illustration.
Last year, according to figures attest
ed by the railways and the growers,

THE BURDEN OF TAXES
Before the war the government of
the United States spent about one bill
lion dollars a year for all purposes,
including interest on the public debt.
In the fiscal year ending June 80, 1920,
the first full fiscal year after fighting
Stopped, the government spent in
round figures six billion four hundred
million dollars. In the fiscal year 1921,
that Is, up to June 80, 1921, 1t spent
$5.115,9 27, 6S930. and in the fiscal year
of 1922, which Will end on June 80,
1922, 1t will spend more than four bill
lion dollars, says Secretary Mellon of
the Treasury Department.
These figures include interest on the
public debt which amounts to about
one billion dollars, but include moth
ing for sinking fund or other debt re-
demption. Including both interest and
sinking fund, the government will
spend more than four times as much
the fiscal year 1922 as 1t spent yearly
before the war.
These expenditures and these heavy
charges are part OF the price of vic
tory. -FOUR whole present problem is
