ADJUSTING THE TARIFF

Information brought from Washington by Senator Lad
would indicate that adjustments be made in tariff
rates that will afford better market for the North Dakota
farmer The situation should be matter of careful study
and commercial bodies should extend every aid to the
farmers their struggle for favorable marketing
ditions.
President Coolidge DESTROYS of information
ing wheat and flax distribution from the Northwestern
states. most complete statement of the real situation
should be placed before him.
While The Tribune has been dubious from the first OF
political legislative panaceas designed to aid the farmers
if any tariff changes contemplated niica to the wheat
and flax growers interest the civic bodies of this state
should act unit in opposing them.
There should be delay in placing before President Coo
dge just what the marketing problems in this state and
in what respect the tariff situation affects them Accord
ing Senator Ladd the President stands ready to make
modification in the tariff schedules that will aid the Amer
lean farmer better to meet competition

FORTY.ACRES PLUS

Much interest has been shown
over the state during the past few
weeks over the "FOrty-Acres Plus"
slogan adopted by the North Da-
kOta State Press association as it's
battle cry for diyersification.
This slogan was chosen by the
Press association in its effort to
back the growing of 40 or more
acres OF forage crops on each farm
in the state in the future. Mem
Der papers are pledged to do all in
heir power to aid diversificat:On
through this move and will devote
much space toward the recital OF
achievements made by farmers in
their respective communities dur
ing the past year.
The Press is a firm believer in
the "Forty-Acre Plus" gospel.
It's mighty good slogan and
should aspire all those who are in
the least interested in the agricul-
tural development OF the state.
The time is near at hand when at
least 40 acres Of forage will be
grown, on every farm. In fac. 4
great many farms in Stark county
have raised more than 40 acre 5
during the past year.
On practically every farm where
diversification is practiced there is
material for a mighty good news
story concerning some crop that
the farmer has raised. Stories that
will serve as an inducement for
prospective settlers to inve .igate
the community and learn of the ad-
vantages which it offers.
The Press is willing and anxious
to publish such tories and will give
all space according to their news
value. We would be glad to have
farmers Of the county advise us Of
the results they have obtained
from their corn and other forage
crops and likewise of the records
made by the dairy herds that We
may in turn "tell the world" what

county and the Slope In the inter

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Roberts Barton

Away down in Dixie Land, the
Twins came upon an object that look
ed something like a war-tank, and
something like suit of iron armor
that knights Of old used to wear in
battle. Only it wasn't any bigger
than parcel-post package.
What do you s'pose it can be-"
whispered Nancy, touching it with
her toe.
But careful as she was, the OBJ
ject poked scaly head out from
under it's hard shell and said sharp
ly out of it's sharp nose, Speak a
little louder, please. I'm very hard
of hearing"
Don't you believe it," called a
tiny voice, and there, not far away,
the Twins saw little black ant with
a red head, standing beside the door
of perfect enormous ant-hill. "He
isn't hard of hearing at all! He's
got ears that can hear when anyone
sneezes in China. We ants ought to
know, for he hears US every time we
turn over in bed even, so he does,
and we have an awful time trying
to stay alive, because he eats ants

Without another word the little

in his place." said Mister Hard-S Shell

ALBERTA VOTES WET

Canadian provinces show a dis
position to break away from pro-
hibition when their voters get Il
chance to speak upon 1t.
The province of Alberta, in the
Canadian Northwest, voted for
liquor by pretty substantial ma
jority. MT for the saloon, which
Canada never had as the United
States had it. nor even for the old
hotel bar, which in Canada came
pretty close TO being as bad as the
American saloon, but for govern
ment control and government sale
OF liquor, very like the system
which Manitoba recently adopted.
The plan of government control
and sale Of liquor has many advo-
Gates. even in this country. Yet
when liquor seems so certainly to
corrupt whoever handles it, a large
question is left: What is it going
to do to the government that deal
in it?-Duluth Herald.
