Coulter, president of the state agri-

Coulter pointed out the fact that
other countries and other states to
the east have had experience in one
crop farming and have all changed
to diversification.
We've stuck to wheat exclusively
just little too long," Coulter de-
ciared, and urged more rotation of
crops. He praised alfalfa, sweet
clover and corn as worthwhile and
urged farmers to have more livestock

chincry Of the state in the hands of
the city and village electors.
This bill, however, goes further,
and If by chance the farmers should
be able to proceed to the polls in
March and elect their precinct COM
mitteemen, then we find that these
precinct committeeman, who un-
doubtedly would be farmers, would
have to leave their spring work and
proceed to the county seat during
the first part Of April. We can
readily understand that not very
many farmers could afford to take
the time off to leave their work to
attend a precinct committee meeting
at such time. The result would be
to more completely leave the control
Of party machinery in the hands Of
city and village electors. Then, to
make it the more difficult for any
one who might be a delegate to the
state convention to attend, the state
convention is designated to be held
on the second Tuesday in May, which
is also an extremely busy season for
the farmers Of this state.
II am surprised to think that leg
islators ~of North Dakota, many of
whom are farmers, should be willing
to lend their support to a measure
of this kind which cannot help but
result in DISTINGUISHING, for this par
ticular purpose, a large number of
the people of the state.
No Reason For Change
There can be no good reason why
the precinct committeeman should
not be elected in June at the state
primary election. 1t is the one time
Of the year in which all Of the people
of North Dakota are more or less at
leisure; and if any change should
be made in the election laws Of this
state, it would be no more than rea-
sonable that the presidential cleo
ton, which is now held in March,
should be changed to a more suitable
time for the people of North Dakota.
"Our rural population needs repre-
scntation. This cannot be accom-
plished if election laws are so framed
that our farmers will be to "a great
extent disfranchised.
81 can find no valid reason why
House Bill No. Is should become a
law. 1t does not eliminate any cleo
tons, there is no saving to the peo-
pie; but l can see many reasons why
the results of this bill would be very
detrimental to an agricultural state
like North Dakota, and for these rca-
sons ! have vetoed House Bill No. 25."

and tossed it upon the table. Here
is another portrait of the same

gasped. For this second portrait was

That's a picture from the Rogues'

gentleman is commonly known as
Preacher Ed because, when he's
hiding from the police. or planning
a big job, it's been his practice to
get a place as clergyman in some
small church so poor that ii takes
him without examining his creden-
tials too closely. He had no authority
to marry people, and. therefore. al
though a license was issued, there
has been no marriage, higamous or
otherwise

never have said a word about this

I began as a chulo--the fellow who
drives the bulls into the ring. Ihat
was to get accustomed TO being near
them, to know their little foibles and
danger signals Sometimes lowering
the head and paving the ground
doesn't mean anything, because the
animal may be in a rage but too stub
born to move. A lot of people think
of bull as all horns and shoulders
and forget the driving force behind
them. Watch the powerful HANKS

way OF telegraphing his rush.
The next step was to become

horsemanship. One prods the bull
with a long pole to which Is affixeh
a pike, and it is no joke to carry
this ahd maneuver your horse out
