What does the New Year hold in for North Dakota
prophet alone tell with exactitude but the lessons
of the past point to things that be expected in
the state. The question of Importance to every man.
and child in the And the question is especially
important the people of the may by their own efforts
help determine the result.
That there ills in the state be denied. This
is equally true OF all Northwestern states That the ills
mainly economic ills and therefore ills of the body which
are not ncurabe if the spirit willing reasonable
The path of better days will be found by realization of the
troubles of the present and cooheaded searching for the
causes of these troubles.
There have been in the last year perhaps articles
written on the condition of agriculture and remedies
offered than there have been interviews the European
situation by returning citizens But constant discussion
such vast problem may shed light upon the true path in
the future
North Dakotas main trouble appears to be growing
pains She attempted to bite off than she could chew
She rode fast that she forgot to keep the machinery in
perfect order and to strengthen she went along This
is true with respect to agriculture when she gambled
one or two crops and tried to produce too much it true
of banking and resulted in too many banks is true OF
the state, municipal and county governments.
There has been too much capital turned into unproduc
tive channels This has increased the overhead and led to
high taxes We have many fine schoohouse too many
rs in government too many mortgages future hopes,
too luxures, until have to the stage where
we reel under the load of debt and taxation and have
fellows back
Shall we stop all progress to remedy the condition
governments must live reasonably and prudently. There
is such thing as thrift in government as well as with the
the most valuable and stable citizen.
North Dakota must cease to become simply place to
make money and become place to make home The tend
ency is in this direction. 1t ought to be accelerated
A 100000 schoolhouse has place where $25 900
Schoolhouse will suffice, long the community is mort
gaging the future by bond issues to build it. The govern
ment has business reaching and assuming duties
when the action is increasing the tax burden beyond
sonabe limit.
About the best resolution North Dakoans make for
1924 to down out of the stars and realities with
plain living plain working plain thinking plain government
Upon the willingness of her citizens do this depends the
future the bringing of blood capital into the
state building firm foundation and creating lasting pros

The Bismarck show is open to
any corn raised in North Dakota

part OF the Bismarck men that are
sponsoring it. There will no doubt
be on display the best from all

LET Us AVOID HASTY ACTION

The State Democrat has coniin
ually urged. during the past seF-
cral months the necessity of the
Democratic factions of the State
getting together for the coming
national campaign. Our faith in
this possibility now is considerably
shattered, as result of the an
nouEcement recently sent out from
the local Democratic Club at Mi
not, endorsing Il presidential can
didate. as well as national com
mittecman for the state.
We feel that this is a serious
political blunder and that such 4
move is bound to create resentment
among the Democrats all over the
state. The fact that the State
Chairman is member Of the local
Minot club, considerably aggra-
Yates the danger of misunderstand-
ing.
The State Committee will I'M
doubtedly meet within a few
weeks, and this announcement
would regularly and properly have
followed that meeting. Attempts
like this to force the hands Of the
State Committee, are dangerous,
and will undoubtedly be pointed to
as primarily intended to further
the interests of certain local as
pirants for office.
We say this, not in disparage-
ment OF the candidates named but
to point out the political dangers
of the move. The Democratic par
ty has always stood most emphat-
ically against any attempt of few
individuals to speak for the whole
state. The only body that can pro-
rerly do this is the regularly APP
| pointed State Committee A meet
I ing of this committee shoyld have
preceded any endorsement.-Farg

Everybody was glad to see them,
but everybody was glad to see every
body else for that matter. 1t was
the jolliest party ever!
The house wasn't very big and
every once in awhile it shook dread
fully. Once when the Fat Man and
Missez Sprat were dancing, three
bricks fell out Of the chimney onto
the roof and almost broke through.
But nothing serious happened and

But suddenly they came rushing
back. "Everything's gone!" they
screamed "There isn't cookie left.
Somebody had been here and run off
with all the Refreshments. They
were right in this cupboard. Oh,

Count noses at once" commanded

it must be somebody who isn't here!'

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Roberts Barton

Everybody was, happy on account
of the big party that Jack and Jill
were giving in the house that Jack
built.
When it came half past six o'clock
every dish in Daddy Gander Land
was wiped and put away apd all the
kitchens swept out.
When it came seven o'clock all the
water taps were running and every
body was having an extra bath.
At half past seven o'clock every
necktie was tied and every sash was
smoothed out and every shoe was
buckled. And you could hear doors
slamming and keys turning every

family started off for Jacks house
Mister Piper, Toms father, was to
play the music for dancing, so he
got there first in order to tune up
his pipes and have them ready so he
wouldn't keep things back.
Bobby Shaftoe called for Bo Peep,
wearing the fine silver buckles hand
ed down to him from his greatest
grandfather.
George Porgie, who was fine
young fellow in spite of the silly
rhyme about him, called for Miss
Muffet.
And Jack Horner took Margery
Daw.
Nancy and Nick went with the
Sprats. Nancy called up Daddy Gan
der on the telephone at supper time
and told him she couldn't go to a
party very we'll in her every day
clothes, or Nick either, so he told
them to look in the doll bureau in

Nick had found George Washing

4 PLAN or FAR.REACHING
IMPORT

Speaking of government inter
ventiOn for diversified farming in
the Northwest. it might have been
a good thing if Uncle Sam had
given his official attention to this
matter in some form for the whole
country years and years ago and
kept it UP. Ii he does not do SO
now, he may be Obliged by the
very necessities of the case to un-
dertake the job at some future
time. He certainly will be So
obliged if economic forces. work
ing independently. do not prove to
be equal to the occasion
Economic good sense did not
save thousands of farms in the
eastern states from being worn out
and abandoned. The American
people were not so provident of
their natural resouces then as they
are now, and Heaven knows they
are not OVERRIDING themselves in
that direction today. Farmers of
the East cold-bloodedly overtaxed
their acres when the country was
younger because they were well
aware that to the westward lay
hundreds of millions OF acres of
rich agricultural lands to which
they could migrate when, or if,
their fathers farms gave up the
ghost as producers. In due course
very many of them did move to-
ward the setting sun, or they went
to the industrial cities to help
make the things others needed to
develop the West.
The migrants thereupon pro-
ceeded to do in the West what
their forebears did in the East.
They made their acres work over
time at the same old job-usually
a one-crop job, Farm lands whic:l
once produced rich crops under
little cultivation began to rebel.
They yielded less and less as the
years went on. Finally they gave
rather convincing proof that, being
robbed Systematically of their pro
ductive energies. they could no
longer deliver the goods the farm
err needed to make him prosperous.
The result is that thousands of
farms out in this part of the coun-
try are lying unoccupied and un-
used today.
This is a much more serious sit
uation than was the like situation
in the East years ago. There is
no longer the agricultural frontier,
the broad ranch Of rich virgin soil
there once was. All the more de,
sirable lands l1nve been pounced
upon. Many of them have been
coerced beyond the breaking point
to yield immedete wealth. The
inevitable came to pass. Holders
of abused lands are victims of their
own opportunistio greed in many
instances, and :f there is not d

LETTER FROM JOHN ALDEN
PRESCOTT TO SIDNEY CAR
TON CONTINUED

This brings me, sgd, to the latest
complication in my complicated mar
ried life
1t seems that the Hamiltons de-
cided very suddenly to go to Eu
rope and telegraphed Leslie to that
effect: She, without any excuse or
even consulting me in the least, in
formed me last night that she was
going to New York to bid them
geodby.
There were two reasons why ]
didn't want Leslie to go to New York
just now. First; you can see just
what this might do to whct the lips
of the scandalmongers. Secondly,
was seriously afraid she was using
her mother and father as an excuse
to get chance to consult Struble
& Struble.
On the spur of the moment fatty
forbade her to go. Here l made the
mistake of my lie, for this noon
Leslie started for New York with
the baby and nurse, remarking cas-
ually that could go to the restau-
rant and club for my meals until
she returned.
Since she left | am wondering If
Leslie has found that life with a
comparatively poor man. man who
has played deeilishly fool trick
with his finances, has made her feel
she has mad mistake.

eminent might step in and compel
that kind Of regard
Happily, the country has not
reached a stage making such COM
pulsion desirable. 1t is devoutly to
be hoped that time never will come.
A time and an emergency are at
hand, however, when the govern

lending its aid toward the pursuit
Of the kind Of farming that will
conserve soil fertility and make
farm lands a very worthwhile in

to making them more profitable for

direction will have been made if
