The opportunity to meet the most successful men of the entire dairy world and leaders of thought on things to be accomplished for the, proper development and standardiza tion of milk and its products in man-, ufacture and marketing to acquaint the personnel of each pUnt with the aims, purposes and output of the house, is worth a trip across the con tinent. Other branches of this industry have an equal interest to assemble at this great annual clinic for im provement. Nothing 'will be more encouraging at this Show than to see men designated by a badge, showing their name and atate. There will be representatives from all the im portant dairy sections who have val uable information on conditions in their localities. $ach can •learn much from the other, and this badge intro duces and inspires. U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRI CULTURE EXHIBIT. Congress has enabled.the Bureau of Animal Indus try, the Dairy Division and,the Bur eau of Markets to bring to this Show the results of research and scientific experiement in animal diseases,'pro ig and feeding for highest pro- Ion, sanitary care ana handling of milk and its products. The exhibit will emphasise all phases of the man ufacture of milk products, their mar keting, proper preparation for the table and the vital importance of milk in all its phases as a food. It also will show the making of foreign types of cheeese.

The valuable training future dairy and stock men get in the junior judg ing contests wil! be demonstrated by boys and girls who have judged cattle atj county and state fairs and have been selected to enter judging con tests at the National Dairy show. DAIRY COW WARDS OFF HARD TIMES. The dairy cow as a busi ness stabilizer will be another object lesson of the Show. Facts and fig ures will prove there are no hard times where the profitable cow rules agricultural effort. How the dairy cow came to the rescue of the farmer in times of stress and also warded off difficulties from many banks will be shown. Profitable cows and good financial conditions go hand in hand. The only entertainment feature in the show other, than those of imme diate dairy value, will be the Horse Show, which will be held in the Arera building' every evening of the show. When we realize that the returns from dairy products in the State of Minnesota for .the year ending June 30, 1920, was $162,674,000, without including the value of fertilizer or young stock, we get some idea 'of what we owe the dairy cow in a suc cuessful development of our agricul ture. This Show will have a wonderfully potential value for the Northwest ag riculturally, industrially and economi cally. During the past year $23,000,000 was paid for dairy products in North Dakota and the total value of our dairy industry was $50,000,000. This show will not be as near again for many years and possibly we may never have an opportunity to attend it so conveniently again. There are parties being formed in every county of the state, reduced rates are being made on the railroads, and everyone who can possibly do so should arrange to take advantage of the opportunity by attending this great show. The state has been divided into ten districts for the purpose of organiza tion. The northwestern part of the state is designated as the Third dis trict and comprises the counties of Ward, Renrville, Burke, Divide, Wil liams, McKenzie and Mountrail. Ma jor E. S. Person has been appointed as leader for this district and has call ed a meeting to -start the .organization work to be held at Stanley on Friday, the 16th inst. Each county agent in the seven counties mentioned above will attend this meeting and dinner Which will be held at noon rfnd will bring with him at.least one automo bile full of people interested in the coming show. The idea being to have a representative «t the meet ing, in addition to the county agent, of farmers, dairymen, bankers, news paper men, creamery men, ice cream men and as many others as can pos sibly attend. A special train will probably be made "up at Williston and. run east on the Great Northern. Another one will be made up at Beach and run east on the N.P. It is expected that at least one thousand will attend the show from North Dakota and bys go ing together a plan has been worked out so that the party may be able ,to get the most out of the trip. Tne various organizations cooperat ing in this movement thru the ten District Leaders are, thirty-five coun ty agents, the North Dakota State Bankers' association, commercial clubs of the state, Rotary clubs, Ki wanis clubs. Town Criers clubs, the State Dairymen's Association, cream ery men, newspapers of the state, county Farm Bureaus under the State Farm Federation and many other similar organizations. The entertainment features at the other end of the line are being taken care of in a splendid way. Mr. E. A. Wilson, now in county agent work, formerly a railroad nun, has charge of the transportation. S. F. Crabb of Fargo 'is in charge of the enter tainment and bas already planned and arranged a very fine schedule. R. F. Flint formerly Dairy Commissioner of North Dakota, is in charge of the North Dakota booth, which will be located on the grounds, and the This Issue 16 Pages THE INDEPENDENT HAS THE LARGEST CIRCULATION OF ANY WEEKLY IN THE STATE Vol. 20 No. 23 Minot, Ward County, North Dakota, Thursday, September 15, 1921 OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF WARD COUNTY AND THE CITY OF MINOT creamery equipment which he will explain. Prof. J. H. Shepard of the Agricultural College is in charge of the program and the Show tours. Prof. J. R. Dice of the Dairy De partment is in charge of the dairy cattle demonstrations and has select ed specialists to talk upon and ex plain the various breeds of dairy cat tle which will be found at the Show, including Guernseys, Jerseys, Hoi-' steins, Aireshire ana Brown Swiss. All of these various activities are con nected up with and in charge of Max Morgan, the Extension Live Stock Specialist of the College, who in turn is working under the direction of Prof. G. W. Randlett, director of the Agri cultural Extension department. Statistics show that in towns of two thousand population and less 75 per cent of tne merchants' business is with the farmer. Merchants in towns of from two thousand to five thou sand population do 65 per cent of their business with farmers in towns of from five thousand to ten thousand they do 50 per cent and in cities of over ten thousand population 40 per cent of the merchants' business is with farmers. When we consider these figures, it ought to be plain to all our business men that the farmer cannot spend the percentage which he should spend and would spend unless his business is profitable and he is able to make that money before spending it. It, therefore, should ap peal to the business man as a busi ness proposition because the business man can assist the farmer in many ways and should always be ready to do everything in his power to help him along the right roads of prog ress. No country has ever prosper ed on a single crop basis having one pay day a year and often times miss ing that. Every country which has adopted dairy farming as an import ant feature of its agricultural de velopment has prospered, land values have increased, farms have become real homes and every line of activity The Independent laid claim to the city printing by virtue of its election as the county, city and state o__cial paper in November. Senate Bill 103 introduced by Senator Ployver of Valley Citj» was enactcd at the "re cent session of the legislature, com-, pelling city councils to publish the proceedings of all meetings in "an official paper to be designated by them." The..plaintiff claimed the law to be unconstitutiohal as far as desig nating any other 'official paper, inas much as the publication was desig nated by a vote of the people as the tegal publication, a contract having been awarded. The law providing for the election of legal papers was re enacted by a vote in November, and therefore any new law changing a law enacted by the people must carry a two-thirds vote of all of the mem bers of both the house and the sen ate. The suit was entirely friendly on the part of both plaintiffs and de fendants, inasmuch as certain im portant legal notices are to be pub lished and it is imperative that they be published in the city official paper. A new record in speed in trying cases was made. The case was start ed, heard and determined on Aug. 22. It was taken to the Supreme court and heard on Sept. 6 and a decision was rendered Sept. 10. Only 15 days elapsed from the time case started until it ended in the Supreme court. Farlin Delwin Smith Died After Short Illness Farlin Delwin Smith, five-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Anderson, passed away at St. Joseph's hospital at four o'clock Wednesday morning.

The funeral will be held from the Presbyterian church Saturday morn ing at 10:30 o'clock Rev. P. W. Erick son, officiating, and the remains will be interred in Rose Hill ceinetery. Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Johnson, grandpar ents of the child, who are motoring thru from Alabama, where they at-, tended the wedding of their son, were notified by wire at Memphis and are hurrying to Minot by. train and will arrive fo or the funeral. The boy was an especialy bright little fellow and had endeared himself to hundreds of residents of this city. He was five years of age on Aug. 20. His father, Farlin Smith, pass ed away four years ago and a grand father, €. D. Smith resides at Gre nora, N. D. The grand-mother died at Grenora two years ago. Surviv ing relatives include his mother, step father and a baby step-sister. ttif J. W. Bode returned to Ryder Mon day and was planning on leaving by auto in a day or two for hia home fa California. has been stimulated along the right and better lines. The most intelli gent and most progressive nations of the world are those which use dairy products in abundance. In fact, the measurement of human enlightenment may- be expressed in terms of milk and butter and cheese used per capita. Human health is vitally affected by the use—or lack— of a sufficient quantity of milk products. The wel fare of the childhood of our country is inseparably wrapped up in the wel fare, Q"d progress of the dairy in dustry. Already a large number from this locality nave signified their inten tions of attending the Dairy Show and it i« expected that at least one car wilt be occupied by people from Minot and the surrounding territory. All those who expect to attend are re quested to communicate with Mr. Per son at the earliest possible moment so that reservations may be made in advance. Ward County is fast becoming noted for its Guernsey cattle and Minot as a market for dairy products. Spe cial advertising features will be ar. ranged to put this fact before the world and it is hoped that a large, delegation will be ready to help put this across. Arrangements are beinj* made to take the Minot High School band, un der the direction of Prof. John How ard on the trip. This feature in it self* will be a great advertisement for Minot and the Minot High school. It will give the boys a splendid op portunity to take in the great edu cational dairy show and enjoy a splen did outing. Mandan is sending their Nut Quar tet and many other parts of the State are planning-to contribute educational and entertainment features to the trip. Let everyone get behind this move ment and boost it in the good old Minot way.

They motored over the National Park trail thru Wisconsin going down the river and crossing the state via Madi son, passing thru one of the most beautiful sections of the middle west Mr. Winters noted that the tourists leave considerable money in every town thru which the trail passes and merchants should appreciate thjs fact. A city on a national highway is very fortunate. They went by train to New York City where Mr. Winters selected lines for his jewelry store. Conditions are very unsettled in th« east and- there were very few buyers in N'ew Yjork., Prices are lower on many things than they will be later for the factories are trying to keep going and are throwing out induce ments to get the public to buy. In many factories only five percent oi the usual number of employes are working and Mr. Winters says there is bound to be hard times in the east the coming winter. Many who re ceived high wages for several years spent their money arffl are now out of employment. Chicago is talking nothing but hard times. There are no potatoes in Indiana, Ohio and Mich igan and other crops are short. Mr. Winters says that Minot and sur rounding district does not know what hard times are and considers that we are very fortunate. liow Price for Cattle Levi Gilrpy, of Harlem, Mont., was in (Minot (Saturday enroute home from St. Paul where he had taken a car of cattle.
