1CIAL PAPEB OF THE COUNT* AND

OUR CHANGING CLIMATE.
A Bismarck correspondent
writes an eastern paper that the
change in the climatic conditions
in this state are such that peo
ple who have been absent from
the state for ten years can hard
lyN believe the conditions at the
present time possible. The cor:
respondent rightly thinks that
the period of drouths is over.
There may be occasional ones,
for no country fit for the habi
tation of white men, is perfectly
safe from them. But, there
M. ill be none such as the early
settlers experienced. The rea
sons are palpable. The changed
conditions of the ,northwest are
responsible for the change in the
climate. Before the country was
broken, the sod was impervious
to water, and the rainfall ran
from the surface into the coulees
to be carried to the lake^ and
rivers, leaving no moisture for
•evaporation. Each season this
condition grew worse, the
amount of available precipitation
gradually becoming less. To
make matters worse, the Indians
were in the habit of burning the
prairies in order to drive the
game to the rivers and lakes,
and this, left the surface of the
prairies parched and barren.
With the breaking of the land!
more moisture was absorbed, and
consequently more was retained
for evaporation, and more rain
fall resulted. Each year more
land has been broken, thus en
larging the water absorbing
area and the reverse of the early
conditions is making the rainfall
-each successive year larger. The
breaking of the lands in western
Canada, and the prevailing winds
from that region, moisture la
dened, which meeting the warm
er currents from the south in
this reg xn causing heavy pre
cipitation, is another strortg fac
tor in taking North Dakota out
of the arid belt.
A BRAIN CREATED NATION:
The people of Norway have
closed the last chapter in thp
dissolution o£the dual kingdom
over which the combined flag of
•Norway and Sweden formerly
floated. By a popular vote a
king was chosen for the throne
-and the nation "born anew is com
pleted. That a king was select*
ed and a kingdom created rather
jthan a republic is no indication
that the Norwegian people are
not independent.' There have
been fewer free people in the
history of the world. To such
people a king is merely the
personification of the state, and
unlike the doctrines held by
ignorant nei
*1111
derives his power to govern from
the Dccple themselves,janc^,that
tJfc fiViHl Hjght is'^f hu^by?.
Ajsciistorriedu to thV^foftns
:of
royalty, and educated in that
system of- government* the peo
ple of Norway, on the whole,, are
better* prepared to accept the
character of government selectel
by popular vote, than they were
for a republic in name. The
people have chosen, and they
nave chosen in a manner that
sets a brilliant example to taie
world in the settlement of grjeat
questions by brains rather than
by brawn. Probably no other
people could have passed through
the ordeal the Norweigans have
and not at some place been
thrown off their guard and mitde
mistakes. But her statesmen
have been patriots of the highest
intellects and most fervent zeal,
her people have been thought
ful and intelligent', and the ques
tions submitted to them by the
ministry have been decided with
calmness and intelligence, and
the will of the majority is as
sacred as human liberty. The
building of the new nation is
a remarkable event in the his
tory of the world.
COLD FACTS ABOUT HOME
BUYING.
Why do the people send their
money away from home,, out of
the city, out of the county and
out of the state, for groceries
and other merchandise without
giving their home merchants an
opportunity to figure with them
on their bills? This week a
farmer was showing us a bill of
about $75 which he bought for
the threshing season from a
grocery pedler, a man that does
not pay one cent of taxes in the
city, county or state, or help to
build up or increase the value of
your property in any way. On
this bill the farmer saved 35cents
per 100 pounds on 500 pounds of
sugar, and $1.75 on one can of
coffee, which looks like a big
saving. Buthe paid
$1.76
each
for a 16 ounce botjtle of vanilla
and lemon extract that he could
have bought from his home mer
chant for 65 cents each paying
just $2.22 too much for two
'16 ounce bottles of extract. On
a 5 cent can of baking powder
he paid 60 cents more than his
home merchant asked for it.
Taken on the whole bill the
home merchant could have saved
the farmer a few dollars and
made a dollar or two himself
besides keeping the money at
home, helping to build up* the
city and county, and in encour
aging the merchants to build
larger stores and to carry better
stocks. Better give your home
merchants an opportunity to
figure with you. It will pay
you.
