COMMUNITY LOYALTY
Have you ever stopped to consider
the tact that loyalty to community in
terests is thff highest type of patrio
tism? Show lis the man who is loyal
and true to every interest of his own
community and we will show you in
that same individual a man in whom
his country can repose absolute confi
dence in any emergency that calls for
his allegiance.
On the other hand, the man who is
careless and unconcerned for the in
terests of his community is more than
apt to display the same spirit of in
difference toward his government or
his state should any serious danger
threaten either.
One of the most commendable traits
of the old Scotish highlanders was
their loyalty to their own clan. Good
or bad, right or wrong, the clan has
their first allegiance. The life and
services of each member were always
cheerfully placed at the disposal of
the clan.
Try to imagine an entire state
composed of innumerable communities
welded and cemented into symmetri
cal whole, each striving to excel the
others, but each, from its own local
loyalty, developing a broader and deep
er loyalty that reaches out and em
braces the whole.
Utopia, you say? By no means,
merely what could and would be the
result if we could only be brought to
see that we owe allegiance to our own
people, but that the prosperity of oth
ers is in no wise a detriment to us,
but rather a help that if each com
munity would develop itself to the ut
most—physically, mentally and moral
ly—none would need be envious of
others, neither would any need be
aught to detract from another's in
terests.
Let us develop community loyalty to
the full—the highest possible form of
patriotism.
SPECULATION
When the grain market is active, as
it has been for this season, the ten
dency to speculate is strong. Great
fluctuations in prices create the possi
bility of large profits, and though the
possibility of equally large losses is
equally present, man's natural opti
mism leads him to look on the more
cheerful side, and the matter of possi
ble losses is usually given but slight
consideration. In most neighborhoods
there are persons who have made win
nings on the recent advance in wheat
prices, and reports of these are passed
around until the speculation fever be
comes quite prevalent. As to wheth
er to buy or sell, how much, and at
what price, it is scarcely the function
of a newspaper to advise the individ
ual, but one feature which cannot be
too strongly emphasized is that the
man who cannot afford to lose cannot
afford to speculate.
Whatever we may think of the
ethics of market speculation, whether
we regard it as legitimate business or
as mere gambling, as a business prop
osition it is something which one can
afford, and which another cannot. The
man who has his debts paid, the needs
of his business and his family provid
ed for, and a comfortable balance in
his bank may without imperiling the
welfare of his family or the security
of his business, take a chance on the
grain market, just as he may take a
chance on the turn of a card. His loss,
if he loses, will entail suffering on no
one. But the man who has actual
need for all his funds shows poor
judgment if he risks any part of his
possessions in speculation, even
though there is the possibility of large
profits.

out the family clothes and irons and

neighbor makes it store up light for
them to sit and read at night he
makes it haul and plow and dig and
shear the sheep and feed the pig and
when the water trough it dry he shifts
a belt and lets it fly. My neighbor's
folks just laugh and sin, they don't do
one laborious thing.
Now me—I never was a shirk. I
think a farm's the place to work. We
chop the wood with might and main
in mud and slush and sleet and rain.
We milk the cows the good old way,
and wash the clothes the livelong day,
and sew and churn to beat the band,
and pump the water up by hand. We
lack the electric lights and such but
we don't miss 'em over-much for
when we're through the work and fed,
we're all so tired we go to bed.
"SOME" YIELD FOR A 1916 CROP
H. H. McCumber of Marstonmoor
threshed 85 bushels of Grimm alfalfa
seed from 16 acres in 1916. He says:
"Only three pounds of seed was
used per acre making alfalfa seeding
as cheap as seeding wheat for next
year's crop. This seed was raised
from seed that was grown on the farm
on an acre now three years old. The
seed was sown broadcast with an
Eureka weeder and seeder and inocu
lated with the government liquid bac
teria.
"Compare this crop with any other
crop. With all other crops the land
must be plowed and sown each year
with a chance of getting one crop
from each sowing. If you sow gen
uine Grimm alfalfa properly the one
seeding will be sufficient for almost
an unlimited term of years if it is left
in the proper condition in the fall,
namely, not cut nor pastured too close
nor stock allowed on it during the
winter.
"We all remember the soil blowing
of last spring. Put your land in al
falfa and the wind will have no effect
on your fields.
"You put more fertility in your land
than would be possible any other way,
and with no expense—not even laboft
"In addition to the seed crop a crop
of hay was cut from its field June 20.
"Sow alfalfa but be sure you get
genuine, dry land grown Grimm seed,
grown in your locality, as near as pos
sible."
NOXIOUS WEEDS
The people in the older sections of
the state are displaying interest in the
spread of noxious weeds. Many fields
are entirely overrun. These fields con
stitute a menace to the entire neigh
borhood. We have weed laws, and
they are not enforced. They will not
be enforced as long as enforcement de
pends on the activity of local officials.
We have seen something of the ef
fect of local control in the matter of
highways. Some excellent bits of
road have been constructed under lo
cal supervision. But these are excep
tional and it is a unanimous verdict of
those who have studied the ques
tion that on a large scale roads can be
built and maintained successfully only
where general control is substituted
for local. If a comprehensive plan for
weed eradication is to be adopted, the
work must be placed in the hands of
general officers who are not hedged
about by local influences.
Aside from the legislative phases of
the subject, we have the practical side.
Weedy farms can be cleaned up only
by the adoption of better farming
methods by the individual. In the
general scheme raising of live stock
will be one of the most important fac
tors.
SOUND BODY NEEDED
Education that does not take cog
nizance of health is wide of the mark.
Health is of the very first considera
tion. The child being a little animal
must not only eat and sleep, but. like
other animals—play. All animals play
when they are young. A well devel
oped body is even more essential than
a brain crammed full of pedagogical
stuff that has but little, if any, re
lationship to the practical affairs of
life. A sound body will contribute
much to its brain, for life is the best
of school masters and a good body
can, if it will, make life worth living.
To cram immature minds with iv jis
evolved by authors whose only expv^
ience with practical things was to
spend their meager salaries is all
wrong. Give the boys and girls plenty
of exercises. Let them play and play
hard. Let the whole child go to
school, hands and feet as well as
heads. Then with sound minds in
sound bodies the largest value will be
realized from the tax payer's dollar
that is spent for education.
Ex-Senator Hansbrough says the
Panama canal is a waste of money
and just about ready to be scrapped.
He considers it a back number already
and cannot see any good in it at all.
We wonder if he takes the same view
of back-number politicians.
The democrats feel so sure of car
rying Texas they are sending out a
few cow chasers to other states and
announcing with eclat and high-sound
ing names that they have just come
out for Wilson.
Reformed spelling is not making
much progress, and we would suggest
that those engaged in that worthy
work change over to looking after the
deformed spelling.
The Duluth Herald attempts to tell
why Hughes is disappointing. The
main gist of their diatribe seems to

THE NIGHT WIND
Have you ever heard the wind go
"Yooooooooo?"
'Tis a pitiful sound to hear!
It seems to chill you through and
through
With a strange and speechless fear.
'Tis the voice of the night that broods
outside
When folks should be asleep,
And many and many's the time I've
I cried
To the darkness that brooded far and
wide
Over the land and deep:
"Whom do you want, O, lonely night
That you wail the long night thru?"
And the night would say in its ghost
ly way,
"Yooooooooo?"
My mother told me, long ago
When I was a little lad,
That when the night went wailing by
Somebody had been bad
And then, when I was snug in bed
Whither I had been sent,
With the blankets drawn up around
my head,
1 think of what iny mother said,
And wonder what boy she meant
And "Who's been bad today?" I'd ask
Of the wind that hoarsely blew,
And the night would say, in its aw
ful way,
"Yooooooooo?"
That this was true, I must allow—
You'll not believe it, though!
Yes, though I'm quite a model now,
I was not always so.
And if you doubt what things I've
said,
Suppose you make the test
Suppose when you've been bad some
day,
And up to bed are sent away,
From mother and the rest—
Supose you ask, 'Who has been bad?'
And then you'll hear what's true—
For the wind will moan in its awful
tone,
"Yooooooooo?"
—Eugene Field.
THE REPORTER AT THE BANQUET
Here I must sit by the hour,
Harking to speeches that bore,
Gosh, but my temper gets sour,
Wish I could sneak to the door.
"Friends, we have with us tonight"
(Hear that dull toastmaster drool),
"One who will give us delight"
(One who's an ass and a fool).
Now he is off on a speech,
Good for a wearisome spell,
If he keeps on I shall screech.
Why don't they give him the bell?
Stories of lineage old,
Jokes of the hoariest age,
Phrases all covered with mold,
Thoughts in a tottering stage.
These are the things I must hear,
These are my crosses to bear,
This they call "mirth and good cheer,"
Lord, give me air, give me air!
Heavens, I'm glad I got out
Why, I was going insane.
I would have perished, no doubt,
But for the bubbling champagne.
Back to the shop I must go,
Where I shall sit down and write.
"Humor and wit were aglow,
It was a scintillant night."
Berton Braley.
MARKET DAY
Please, sir, 1 wish a spool of beans
And seven pints of silk
Then wrap me up a bag of pins,
I'll take an ell of sausages,
And thirteen gross of cream,
A can of freshly laundered eggs
Of doughnuts just a ream.
Oh let me have a sheet of soap,
And eighty grains of tea,
With twenty pecks of apple pie,
As boneless as can be.
I want a dozen honey, ripe,
And half afoot of cheese,
Then give me, sir, a yard of oil
Wrapped up in paper, please.
A box of sugar vinegar,
A drachm of lettuce, too,
And with a cask of butter scotch
I think that this will do.
Please send my purchase quickly, sir—
I live upon the Hill,
An acre and a ton away—
And charge it on the bill.

Despondency
When you feel discouraged and des
pondent do not give up but take a dose
of Chamberlain's Tablets and you are
almost certain to feel all right within
a day or two. Despondency is very
often due to indigestion and bilious
ness, for which these tablets are
esneoially valuable. Obtainable every
where.
FARMERS PROFITING
FROM GOOD EXAMPLE
North Dakota farmers are profiting
from the example set them by pi ugres
sive agriculturists who have doi.e pio
neer work in their own commuaities.
"I have frequently heard f&iiners
who hold broad and advanced views
of the agricultural needs of their com
munities express disappointment that
their neighbors did not take advantage
of methods or crops that they had
demonstrated beyond a question of a
doubt as being successful and practi
cal," stated Commissioner of Agricul
ture and Labor Flint in discussing the
subject this week. "And," he contin
ued," there is, unfortunately, too much
opportunity for just ciriticism along
this line. I have come in contact re
cently, however, with conditions that
are quite gratifying in general results
and they must be equally so to have
set the pace.
"In 1902, E. H. Bean, a practical
Ohio farmer now residing in Glen Ul
lin, seeded about an acre of alfalfa on
his ranch near where Carson now is.
This trial plat proved the adaptability
of alfalfa for that region. Later the
land passed into the possession of
Lennon Mott, who increased the acre
age somewhat. Fred Schwiscow now
owns the farm, and this season, from
about 50 acres, about June 19, he se
cured three tons of hay per acre, as a
first cutting. Twenty-eight days lat
ter he cut 1% tons to the acre, and 30
days thereafter one ton, aggregatinfe
5% tons to the acre. And there has
been a sufficient growth to afford win
ter protection. Four acres were left
after the first cutting for seed, which
threshed a bushel to the acre.
"So much for the direct results of
Mr. Bean's demonstration—and it is
to be remembered that those stated
are for only one year. Previous years
fyave been highly satisfactory. In a
general way Mr. Bean and his succes
sors on that land have been instru
mental in influencing a more general
production of alfalfa throughout that
portion of North Dakota than exists in
any other locality. The degree of
adaption of alfalfa as a farm crop
throughout southwestern North Dako
ta is very pleasing, and it must be
quite profitable. One farmer whom I
met at Leith last week threshed 150
bushels of alfalfa this year. No doubt
Mr. Bean has thought many times
since he first satisfied himself that
alfalfa was a success that his neigh
bors were discouragingly slow in
adopting it, but happily in his case he
has lived to see that his advanced
methods have profited from his pio
neering."
Mr. Flint feels that the progressive
North Dakota farmer who is willing
to take a chance with a new crop, is
entitled to much more appreciation
than he usually receives.
CRIMINAL HEEDLESSNESS
Efforts are being made to reduce the
number of motor accidents at railroad
grade crossings and it is hoped that
many lives may be saved and many
accidents averted. The Northern Pa
cific railway has begun a crusade
reaching the entire length of its line.
A statement has been prepared and
sent to all secretaries of state who are
requested to include one of the state
ments with every license tag issued.
Statistics show that last year in the
nation 997 persons were killed and
2,898 injured at grade crossings. No
matter how many Signs, notices,
whistles, gates and flagmen there may
be of no avail unless motorists and
the general public co-operate and heed
some of them.
Observations were made to note the
care or lack of it which motorists used
and out of 35,000 instances over half
looked neither way when passing over
a grade crossing, eight per cent look
ed one way only and 174 drivers stop
ped their machines first.
Draw your own conclusions.

CORN, OATS, WHEAT FOR FEED
In an experiment at the Wisconsin
experiment station three lots of heif
ers weighing about 350 pounds were
fed equal amounts of nutrients. For
one lot the nutrients were wholly
from the wheat plant, another from
oats and the third from corn. All lots
grew at about normal rate, but after a
few months it became easily observ
able that the wheat lot was not so
well nourished as the others. This
was evident from the appearance of
the coat. The corn and oat fed lots
bred earlier than the wheat fed one,
showing that the latter were depressed
in some degree. The corn fed lot pro
duced calves which were of normal
size and full of vigor. The oat lot
produced calves which were of about
normal size, but with very low vigor,
while those from the wheat lot were
about half as large as the normal calf
at birth and were dead or ready to die
when born. When half the roughage
of the wheat lot was replaced with al
falfa hay the calves were normal.
No reasons have yet been worked
out as to why these foods should aci
so differently, but it is important to
know how they affect animals.—North
Dakota Experiment Station.
NO BANK FAILURES IN CHINA
Sioux City Tribune: Nine hundred
years ago China had a bank failure.
Hi Hung, ruler of the Celestial empire
at the time, investigated and discovered
shady conduct on the part of the bank
officials. He immediately issued an
edict that the next time a bank went
to the wall the heads of its president
and directors should be forfeited.
Since then there have been no bank
failures in China. This method of
dealing with frenzied finance may not
be appealingly poetic, but it appears
to have been indisputably effective.
The absent voters ballots are now
ready for distribution at the county
auditor's office. Any one who expects
to be away from home on election day
can now vote by appearing at the
county auditor's office and procuring
his ballot.

Precinct No.—
Mike E. Mikkelson, Dazey, N. D., took out $2,025 August twenty
fifth, 1911 he has paid in, including the 1916 assessment, the sum
of $52.90 the same in another company would cost $70.87.
Lula Martinson, Dazey, N. D., took out $2,600 August twenty
fifth, 1911, and has paid in, including assessment to be paid in 1916,
the sum of $67.60 had she carried this in another company it
would have cost her $91.00.
You can figure out the difference for yourself, and over 2,000
other similar examples can be quoted. But to satisfy yourself as to
what your insurance is costing you, add up what you have paid,
and compare with the other companies' rates.
It is needless to say that you ought to be willing to support
your home company, even though you have to pay as much as
you would in a stock company, but the argument that it costs
more in this company cannot be substantiated by the facts. An
other point you should not overlook is, were there :io Barnes
County Farmers Mutual Insurance Company or other farm mu
tuals doing business in this state, you would be paying a lot more
for your insurance than you are at present.
To learn the true facts enquire of any policy holder or call at
the Home Office of the company in Valley City, North Dakota.

Valley City, N. Dak, Sept. 12th, 1916.
In view of the reports being circulated by unauthorised parties
to the effect that the cost of carrying insurance with The Barnes
County Farmers Mutual Insurance Company is, or will be, more
than if placed in stock companies, the company at this time
deems it necessary to present some facts-for the consideration of
the policy holders and public generally.
This company has been in active operation for over twenty-one
years and has .nearly THREE MILLION DOLLARS INSURANCE
in force in Barnes County.
'Since its organization in 1895 there have been but ten assess
ments levied, and during the year 1916 it has paid to policy holders
over $25,000 for losses sustained this unusual amount being oc
casioned by the severe storm of May 25th, 1916, which entailed
enormous losses, not only to the insurance companies, but to the
farmers also.
The company writes annually over One-Half Million Dollars In
surance. As concrete examples of the cost as compared to other
companies the following speak for themselves:
A. E. Darkenwold, Wimbledon, N. D., took out $5,700 insurance in
December, 1911, policy covering Fire, Lighting and Cyclone, on
which he has paid in all, including assessment to be paid in Octo
ber, 1916, the sum of $148.20. The same amount ir 'nother com
pany would cost him $199.50.
