The farmer, as much as any other business man. re quires the services of a bank, if he manages his farm in a systematic way. While he may have no need for a complete set of books in which to keep a record of every transaction made, yet, during the course of a year he must pay out large suras of money for various purposes, and a rec ord for future reference is highly important. Merchants may fail to give a receipt for cash, a neigh bor may not recall the pay ment of money owed, "but the farmer who pays his ob ligations by check has writ ten evidence of such pay ments which any court must recognize. I the same way he has a record of money re ceived, by deposit entries on his bank book. To the farmer who desires such a record for his busi ness, we extend an invita tion to open an account.

A nif-rchant for a neighboring town remarked to us recently that when be bought a gasoline engine it would be a herd of good dairy ccrws.

No town in North Dakota is tetter situated for a mill to do eufi torn grinding. We are situated at the junction of the Des Lacs and Mouse rivers and a sufficient lead of water could be maintained to provide the power and in caae that should fail tin, proximity of immense fields of lig nitc would afford plenty of cheap fUPl. The utilization of lignite in the man ufacture of briquette? has been dem onstrated to be feasible and Burling ton stands a good charge of securing thp location of a concern of this character that will be the latest in the state. Briquettes are admitted to be the equivalent of the best steam ing coal and very nearly that of an thracite and costs less. The by-pro ducts of the briquetting process in cludes tar, gasoline. Watch Burling ton grow. The Commercial cln! held 3 largely attended meeting at the opera hcuse Monday evening. Resolutions were passed and committees appointed to take steps for the appointment of a deputy sheriff, the erection of a cala boose and the building of some more cement sidewalks. What is prosperity? It IB nothing more than sentiment, perhaps in many cases, but it is the sentiment of the majority. The nation is the sum of the communities. A commu nity is the sum of its families. Com munity life is the basis of ethics, of patriotism, of good business policy. If your community life is right, it is prosperous and a majority of other communities are prosperous, then prosperity reigns in the nation. The community life is the sum to tal etiengy and activity of its indi vidual members. And there exists in a community obligations between these members. The community owns ihe merchant a duty and the merchant in turn owes his community a duty. This is not a one-sided proposition. Against the consumer's obligation to deal with the merchant of his com munity that merchant or business man must place his obligation of ser vice, good goods, and right prices. The retailer of today must assume his proper friendship to the commu nity if he is to prosper. He must become one cf the moving spirits of his community. He must be a progressive merchant he must see the latest and best methods in con ducting liis business. If he does these things there is little doubt but the other members of the community will fulfill the obligation that rests on them to transact their with home merchants.
