If. m: IS !&&,> WARREN SHEAF JOHN P. MATTSON, Editor and Prop. Published every Thursday. Cniered in the Post Office at Warren ne Second Class Mail Matter. ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR. Legal Advertisements at Legal Rates. Official Paper of Marthall County That dairying can be carried on with profit and without inconveni ence on the average farm is shown by the experience of John M. Miller, a farmer Hiving near Bottineau, N. D. The Bottineau Gourant says that five dairy cows have paid Mr. Mil ler a profit during the past year of 81.83 daily. From the product of the five cows 1300 pounds of butter was made, which sold for $337.60. Ho. also raised five calves, which sold for $75. Ten hogs, milk fed, were also raised on the milk of the five cows and they are worth $200. Butter used on the farm is valued at $62.40, making a total of $665 for the year, and this in addition to the milk and cream supply for house hold purposes. THE NEW CITY CHARTER The voters of Warren are busy studying the provisions of the new city charter which is to be voted on at the special election to be held on Monday next, March 3. The charter commission, which has prepared the document, consists of W. O. Brag gans, O. H. Taralseth, C. E. Lund quist, G. S. Waltam, C. L. Spaulding, L. M. Olson, A. G. Swandby, L. Lam berson, W. R. Haney, C. Wittensten, W. F. Powell, C. A. Nelson and H. M. Swanson, and these gentlemen have no doubt given a great deal of thought and study to the framing of the charter. The bulk of the work, however, has been done by W. O. Braggans, who is a* lawyer and also well versed in municipal affairs. It has been the honest endeavor of the commission to produce an instru ment under which the city may de velop and grow without the handi caps found in the old charter. Whether*they have succeeded whol ly is not so easy to tell. There are some excellent' things in the new -charter and some, perhaps, that are not so good. A perfect city charter has not been written yet, and never will be. On the whole, the new charter is very conservative and follows the old charter to a large extent. We, for one, would have been pleased to see the commission, strike out more boldly and on more original lines, but then it is well to remember that innovations and re forms in municipal government, like in all other matters, better come slowly. We believe that the new charter is an improvement on the old and for that reason favor its adoption. Especially will it enable the city to make necessary public improvements and also to manage the eelctric light plant in a more business-like manner. PENMANSHIP Now that teacher, has her flock of child faces about her, their success or failure so dependent on the way the little hearts or minds are inclin ed at school, it is pertinent to make some remarks about tasks that need special emphasis. l: You don't hear much said about penmanship just now. When doc tors of philosophy and bachelors of science send out letters scarcely distinguishable from bird tracks, it may not be considered important that children should team to write. Then too, there is the typewriter. A few years ago any seeker for a ob had to make his application in Iiis own handwriting. The employ er who had to' use a magnifying glass plus a capacity for detective work to decipher a letter was riot much impressed by flowery testi monials from friends. Now wJien you ask for a position, you quite likely use a machine that covers up the deficiencies of your handwriting., You perhaps think that penmanship is a lost art, ust fu! to bookeepers, but not essential for business men. Nevertheless, if you should make a census of the number of type writing machines in this town, you probably would not find more than one to a hundred of population. The rest of us must still use the imple ments nature gave us, plus the best pen and ink of our daddies. if Few things give a greater impres sion of illiteracy than a scrawly let ter. More than that it suggests a certai.n lack of muscularhselfcommu tro1 5 \jS,jj *f' /-uioatipn, you form a mental picture of a person who bumps up against /.^peop le on the street, awkward and ,|^H| blundering. con- O receiving suc a TWO VIEWS OF IMPEACHMENT The conviction of Judge Robert W. Archbald of the Commerce Gourt is only the third case of r.-jc- cessful impeachment proceedings in the United States in a period of 124 years. A. method of reaching public offi cials that only wins once in 40 years is of course not efficient. Probably one great reason for this failure has been the older view of the na ture of, impeachment proceedings. The only impeachable offences by the constitution are "treason, brib ery and other high crimes and mis demeanors''. During the formation of the constitution there was a strong effort made to broaden the ground for such removal. Amendments were introduced that would have permitted removal for "malpractice and neglect of du ty" or for "maladministration." Both these amendments were beat en. James Madison spoke against one of them on the ground that it would create a "tenure of office at the will of the Senate." The difference of opinion thus disclosed has persisted to the pres ent day. One school of constitution al lawyers has argued that im peachment is possible only for such crimes as one could be criminally indicted for. Others have placed a more elastic interpretation there on, and have held that it applied to a wide range of action detrimental to the essential principles of gov ernment. This idea has been recog nized in the constitutions of many of the states, but not in the United States constitution. Farmer Ignoramus on Corn Why can we not raise as big crops on our lands as we did 25 or 30 years ago when the land was new? We can .and we do. But (there is a "but" to it) we cannot do it by rais ing wheat or other small grain con tinuously. There is only one way we can do it and that is by raising corn and stock. We can raise corn here, as has been proven again and again for a number of years." Ripe corn at that. But.we do not raise corn for the ears alone. The stalks and ears combined make the best and cheapest feed for stock known. It is no exaggeration to say that 10 or 15 acres of corn, planted right and taken care of ,is equal in feed ing value -to 50 to 60 acres of tame hay. Tame hay in this country does not average one ton to the acre, while cornwell, there is hardly any limit to the amount you can raise on an acre if you have the land in proper shape and cultivate your corn the way it ought to be 'done.

It is continuous work for a month or. more, but it is work that pays. The corn binder makes it easy to harvest, and oh, mamma, how the cows do like it, especially if there are two or three ripe ears on each stalk ,ynd for young stock or fatting steers there is nothing better. Another good thing about corn is that it helps you cultivate or plow your fields. The roots will dig in '3 or 4 feet and loosen the.ground underneath, making it easier for the moisture and sunshine to work on, and helps to catch, the plant food that is in the air and keep it. Corn ground can be plowed much deeper than other ground and will pack 'better after it is plowed deep. Plow ing on some soils is a damage, as it loosens up the soil too much and no amount of work,can get it packed. On corn ground this difficulty is overcome. Another thing, we will have much better pastures if we plant our grass seeds on land that has had corn on* and by rotating our crops back and forth from pas ture to corn and grain we can get our fields clean and get rid of all the* foul weeds that some parts of our country are infested with. Wlv We must have livestock and lots of it, and there is only one way we can do it, and that is by planting a liberal amount of corn every year. Livestock and manure will make the price of our acres go up and al ways up. Why is it that the land in the southern part of the state is so high priced? Their lands are not any better than oursnot by a long got the land and the best roads I best county in the world. \^$'/- ,I Our schools and churched, 'bur business men, bankers, grain buy ers, cattle buyers, store keepers and everything needed for a prosperous county we have got here, but we must be up and doing.

CLEANING AND GRADING OATS. Seed oats should be ^carefully (creened and graded before sowing. This work Is ordinarily done with the niill, the light oats and some of the trash being taken out by a current, of air, while the small oats and most of the weed seeds are removed by means of screens. 'The process should take put one-third or One-fourth of the oats, but if the %eed la very light a much larger proportion should be removed. Many of the small, light oats will not jgerminate at all, while others produce jweak plants, which materially reduce (the yield. Screening also greatly re duces the proportion, of weed seed, thus preventing the spread of weeds jand further favoring the growth of the oat crop* Notes from South School, Foldahl Five months of school have now passed and we have only three le't.
