Individual TattOOing
Demanded of Hog Men

Livestock shipping associations in
Mountrail county are interested in the
hog tattooing work. They had ordered
markers all ready, but letter has
just been received by County Agent
Fiske, stating that after May ! pre-
nliums would be paid only to those hog
raisers who have their own individual
brand.
This regulation was of course, put
into effect by the packers. There is
nothing arbitrary about 1t, but 1t must
be done If the farmer wants to re-
alize the 10 cents-a-hundred premium
offered by packers on hogs from
tuberculosis-free counties.

Editor Tribune:
Since the legislature adjourned, we
who elected or were elected to stay
at home have come to realize more
and more that we have much for
which to be thankful. We occupy
the same advantageous position as
the baseball fan In the bleacherS who
sees all the mistakes the players make
and knows just how every play ought
to have been made.
When We read the governors mes
sage to the legislature we said to our
selves, Glory be! Now we'll have an
economical administration whatever
else it may prove to be. And then
The legislature proceeded blithcly
apparently to spank taxpayers and de-
positors in closed banks.
IT reminds us of story told by q
pioneer who settled in the Red River
Valley between fifty and sixty years
ago. Dick and Doug, so let's call
them, were boyhood chums. Dick,
when grown up. went forth to become
a pioneer in a new frontier, but Doug
remained at home. Twelve years
then passed, nota bene, twelve years
> without any exchange of news be-
tween Dick and Doug. Then Dick.
unheralded, came back for visit.
The first person he happened to meet
on his return was Doug. The usual
exchange Of greetings took place.
Then
"You aren't married, are you
Dough"
ayes, I am that"
"You scoundrel. And have you a
large family?"

most a year between them"
How many children have you?"
