Everybody is going to the fair today to assist in making this day the biggest day of the tonth nzt'-! nual Beltrami county fair. Only seven states in the United| States have no form of a state high-| way commission. During the last two years there has been built in the! various states eleven thousand milesf; of state highways and more than two! hundred million dollars have been} unemployed: the U;nted States would have an army of over a million men, in addition to the reservists we now have. Three months’ military train- ing would give these men health, knowledge of how to take care of themselves, and self-respect so that at the end of the three months they would be in a three times better po- sition to find employment and holding it than they were before.

An appreciation of half a billion dollars in the stock price of thirteen manufacturing corporations! That is a part, only a part, of the price England and her allies are paying for unpreparedness. The United States has paid a heavy price in its past wars, and has learn- ed nothing by it. Perhaps now we will not altogether ignore it. America is so rich in its crude resources that, if it were not para- lyzed by invasion, it could supply much of the raw material the allies have to buy. But even if it could make its own war munitions and manufactured necessities, it would find itself paying therefor exorbitant prices to profit a relatively small and distinctly undeserving class ofl its own citizens. E The sorry records of the Spanish- American war and of the civil war prove that while thousands of men were ready to die and were dying for principle and love of country, other men were sitting snugly in their counting rooms wringing huge pro- fits from the national necessities. Some of the great fortunes of the country have their foundations in the muck of this hateful greed. Of course, our right to drive a good bargain with the belligerents is not to be confused with the sordid right of the individual who waxes rich from his own country’s misfor- tunes. But we ought at least to consider, while we are making our fat profit from the needs of war stricken Europe ,that the tables may ibe turned some day and that if we are wise we will prepare against that terrible event. This nation, caught unawares, as it will be caught unless we leave off our policy of drift, would have to pay a staggering emergency price for | supplies, both to our own citizens and in the foreign market. spent upon the thirty-one thousand miles of highway which have alreadyi been built. { Statistics show that the United| States is receiving annually two mil<= lion five hundred thcusand doll: water power toll for grazing pr eges and for the timber which ex-| perts advise cutting from the national forest reservation.

If the real factories of the nation would shut down for one summer, what would happen? By real factories we mean farm factories, the farmer. Kings, kaisers, presidents, gun powder magnates, etc., would soon send out a cry for peace and the restoration of the world’s producers. Every hand in the land would be affected or cease to exist. That the “Farm Factory” is the most important factory is conceded by everyome. (This fact is being realized more and more in this section of the country, because the strides that have been made along agricultural lines the past few years is com- manding attention the nation, over. Beltrami county’s exhibit of potatoes at the Panama Exposition has given this county the best kind of advertising. No one realizes this more than does J. J. Opsahl, who is now advocating a modern way of marketing potatoes. Mr. Opsahl is president of the Minnesota Potato Growers’ Associa- tion and is continually on the lookout for better farming and better marketing methods. “Market your potato crop in one and one-half bushel crates, crates properly ventilated and so constructed that inspection of its contents can easily be made without breaking the package,” said J. J. Opsahl, “and you will find that buyers will pay a premium on first grade stock, especially Beltrami county grown potatoes.” When crating these potatoes see that they are of uniform - size and of one variety. If every farmer would do this, Bel- trami county grown potatoes would soon be known the world over as the best. They already have a reputation as such in this section of the United States.
