Oe ee ee eed ELEVATOR SURVEY. i Governor Frazier and his associ ates can perform a real service for} the farmers by securing a fair and unprejudiced survey of marketing conditions in North Dakota. Prof. James E. Boyle of the Agricultural college, in an article published in The Quarterly Journal of the Univer- sity of North Dakota, points out some defects in the present system that are interesting now that attention is focused: upon the problem of distribu- tion, one of the most vital issues that confronts the state today. He finds that while most of the farmers’ elevators are called “‘co-op- erative,” probably only half of them re based upon strict co-operative | principles. Prof. Boyle states that the eleva- “tors are weak in the matter of bond- ing their managers. We.quote his own words: r “Many farmers’ elevators employ a jocal farmer for manager and then efuse to place him under any kind of surety bond, on the ground that they know him to be honest in ad- vance. The pay of a good manager is often: inadequate, The compensa- , tion ranges from $75 to $175 a month. ‘An almost universal weakness in the farmers’ elevators is the financial re- serve or surplus. Very few maintain any reserve fund whatsoever. Many ure heavily mortgaged and provide no sinking fund. Indeed, some with a heavy mortgage soon maturing and with foreclosure staring them in the # face, declare big dividends and let the crash come. An increasing num- ) fber are adopting the government ‘bookkeeping system. Perhaps the {most vital need at the present time is a uniform accounting, system. As is ‘well known our’ state’-banking depart- ment maintains a careful audit of all ‘state’ banks through a force of bank examiners. Our railroad commission has supervision over grain elevators, their storage tickets covering depos- “ its of grain, and other matters per- taining to the elevator business, but thus far the state has made no ade- quate provision for a financial exam- ination of the elevator. Line elevat- ; Ors are audited from the central house in a thorough manner. But , thus far the farmers’ elevators have neither a state system nor a Sself- developed system of auditing. This stands today as their unsolved prob- Jem. “The farmers produce grain from fields which, year by year, show a marked increase in foul weeds. Yel- Jow mustard, kinghead, cockle and wild oats are the commonest kinds. Elevators now ‘dock’ the grain a cer- tain number of pounds per bushel, * thus allowing for the foreign matter found in it. | see “But with the increase in the cost of feed stuffs, there has come to be @ great market value for the ‘screem- ings,’ consisting. chiefly of the weed seeds screened out of the wheat and _ other grains. This situation has caus- ed the farmer no little concern over the dockage and screenings ques- tion. There are now four ways of meeting this problem. (1) The local . elevator cleans the grain, giving. the > farmer the screenings and charging . him one cent.a bushel and in some cases two cents a bushel for the work. But this can be done only in slack seasons, for during the wheat = movement, the elevator is swamped with its own business. The farmer Feceiving his screenings returns them to the farm and grinds them for = stock feed. “If the screenings are not ground, | terminal {of this city. BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE | place. (2) The local elevator may clean the grain, ship the screenings jin carload lots to the terminal mar- ket. and allowed nothing for the screen- ings. One manager last year made $2,000 on his screenings; made $5,000. The screenings sold at fifteen dollars a ton. elevator is elevator, these earnings are prorated back at the end of the year. If it is a line or independent house the farm- r gets nothing back. (3) The farm- may ship his own grain to the; market, have it cleaned! there and ‘the screenings sold. In this case he gets full price for his screenings and escapes with little or no dockage on his grain. (4) The farmer may ship his own grain to the were If the he suffers the inspection is out en- cleaned. In this ¢ dockage which the state departmeht finds he deserves of pocket the freight on the ings, and may also lose one grade in j his grain by reason of the foul mat- ter in it. “While elevators i will doubtless prove to be the step- ping stones to success in the future.

There are in our city two young ladies, Where they came from is a question that should not be consider- ed. They are blind, but gifted with a superior talent by which they would be able to support themselves if pat- ronized by our good citizens. As they have graduated from | schools, they felt qualified to go out jin the world and make their own liv- ing and do something for others. Thi: seems to be their only desire and, as they had heard that Bismarck was a prosperous city with a.better class of citizens, they came here about three months ago. During this time they have passed many dark and gloomy days. as they had no friends to greet or welcome them. They rented a furnished room for | light housekeeping, placed an “ad” in ;our local papers, stating that they would give piano and vocal lessons, but nobody answered their “ad,” nor came to see them. They visited our churches and paid their honor to God and also their pennies to the thereto box, but God was not there tojansiounce to his disciples that these blind girls had given more than any other person in the congre- gation. Time and expenses were going on, finances were running low, the real cold weather came along and found the girls in a-ehilly, gloomy room, ‘with its continual darkness. They heard the clock strike, the street car passing by, and the long hours were slowly passing by, but nobody came to: see them. ‘Thanksgiving day came along ane brought kindly thoughts into peo- ple’s hearts. Someone with a Samar- itan heart invited the girls to din- iner. This ped ..very . much, y}expense for ins take | !ple in Bismarck will ‘join hands in} |doing something for these unfortu-/ |nate girls;;as whatever you do for ithem you know will be appreciated. | They are not asking for sympathy jor anoneyy but for opportunity to jmake a living by giving piano and | vocal lessons. It would not require ay llarge class to meet their expenses, so send your children to them. If ‘you have none send some bright little girl whose parents cannot afford the ruction, and you will have done two favors one. —A SUBSCRITER, WANTS EVERY ACRE TAXED. New Rockford, N. D., Jan. 80, 117. | Editor Tribune, Bismarck, N. D. {One thing 1 would like to see this i legislature do, and that is to place} ‘every acre of land in the state on} the tax list, even to school, church, |lodge and charity holdings. 1 would jmake no exception, | Then, 1 would like to see a tax for insurance on farm crops against | | hail, fire and rust, a rate which would flicient for this purpose. Let acre of crop be under insurance | without the formality of a policy at, Jabout $6 per acre for total loss and ja corresponding sum for partial loss- es, No fat office fees in this state, The | state and county officers could take care of this business with almost no ndditional expense, adjustments to be made by the county commissioners in the districts in which the loss oc- [eurs. iHe is to choose one disinter- ested person, as is the one who has the loss. The person claiming the! loss is to pay the expense of the two chosen adjustors, the county to pay, the commissioner his usual per diem and mileage. Furthermore, I would like to see! this legislature reduce the ratio of representatives, to provide for 10 sen- ators and 15 representatives, giving them enough pay so they could afford jto give every detail of their duty xhaustive consideration and thus ma- ture every act before putting it into |the code. This would be the best | piece of economy the legislature could |give the state. “POLITAS.” 10 ena‘) WITH THE EDITORS | a | PINAFORE A LA MODE. | (N. Y.

In nominating Dr. Gray- |son of the medical corps to be pro- |moted to that rank, President Wilson has acted within his legal rights— |just as he has in disregarding the rule |of seniority in other naval nomina- jtions made at the same time—but has jstirred up a hornet’s nest in Washing- ton. No one has a word to say | against Dr. Grayson. He ts a fine man jand a competent physician. His ad- ‘Expert Phonography and Typewriting Phone 774 vice and friendship have done won- ders for Mr. Wilson’s health.

BELIEVES BRIDGE WILL PAY FOR ITSELF THROUGH | IMMIGRATION INCREASE | In urging favorable action upon his jTesolution calling for federal aid in the construction of one or more bridges across the Missouri river, Sen- ator Carol D. King of Menoken yes- terday emphasized the importance) which transcontiéntal highways play today in advertising the states which | they traverse. “We are alk a dpiare in encourgg- | ing immigration a@id\are ready to ap- | propriate money ?for this purpose,” said the gentleman from Burleigh. | “Nothing will go further or do more | to encourage immigration and to ad- vertise our state and impress it favor- ably upon the minds of people of means than a well-kept, connected, transcontinental trail, such as we have! here crossing the Missouri. “Now that so many hundreds of peo- | ple are j ing through to Yellow- stone park, it is imperative that we} have a national highway open through, | without a greak. The setlement of! our idle lands in the western part of | the state will provide sources of in- creased tax revenues which will in a} very few years repay all that may be] expended in bridging the Missouri.” The senate unanimously adopted Senator King’s resolution, which ix ex- | pected to pass the house with little or no oppositio: MONEY IN SPUDS. A local potato-dealer who happens to have an extra stack of potatoes has just received after of $2.80 the bushel for his entire stock of tubers, delivered in the Twin Cities. As the transportation is about 20 cents a bushel, this would mean a net price of $2.60 the bushel here. The dealer will ship several carloads, but will retain enough to supply his local trade, at the present price of $2 the bushel. At the Twin Cities these same potatoes will retail at ninety cents the peck, the highest price ever known there. The quality of the stock is unsually high, and the spuds last fall cost the dealer one dollar the bushel. 'ANTIDOTES FOR BODILY POISONS (Ey L. H, Smith, M. D.) The victiiis of auto-intoxication are mapy thousands every day. By rea- son of the toxins, or poisons bred in the intestines, these poisanaus bac- teria are sent all throug the blood channels and the victim fee!s tired, sleepy and headaehy, or the ».ain doesn't work as usual. The best treat- ment for this is to drink hot water before breakfast—plenty of water al! day and procure a simple laxative, made of May-apple, leaves of a! ete, with no galomel and entirely vegetable, whicly can be obtained at any drug store, known.as Dr. Pieree’s Pleasant ‘Pellets, Equally important is it to cleanse kidneys and bladder, and drinking plevtifully of pure. water -will cleans2 them to a certain extent. Then ob- tain at the drug store a little Anuric, which was first discovered by Dr. falo, N. Y.. Anwric: (double strength) shonld be taken before meals. It is many times more potent than lithia in throwing off the poisonous accumu- lations of uric acid. Through failure of kidneys to act, through congestion, inflammation, .any person’s condition is ripe for disease to “asten its hold upon the system. Anuric has been tested for the past few years for kidney, bladder, aric acid troubles, rhéumatism, gout, and such ailments as follow, and so many cass, both acité &nd stubborn, have WALTER W. McMAHOR, yielded to this wonderful remedy that T do not: hesitateto recommend: i Pierce of Surgical Institute in Buf-; TORRENS SYSTEM 1S SLIGHTLY AMENDED Senate Bill No. 1, by McCarten, pro- viding for the adoption of a modified i Torrens system, slightly amended, will | be reported for passage by the judic- jary today.

Senate bill No. 11, introduced Mon- }day by Paulson, carries out the bud- get board’s recommendations for the {abolition of the present state trans- portation officer system and imposes the duty of transporting the criminal and the insane on the sheriff or a | guard appointed by the county.

Constipation, or inaction of the bowels, a condition that nearly every- one experiences with more or less fre- quency, is the direct cause of much disease. When the bowels become clogged with refuse from the stomach foul gases and poisons are generated, and unless congestion is uickly re- lieved the system becories weakened and most susceptible to attack. Various remedies to reiieve -const!. pation are prescribed. but imany of these contain cathaztic or purgative agents that are harsh and violent in their action and shock the system.The most effective remedy 1s the combina- tion of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that is sold in drug stores un- Cer the name of Pr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. : The Hon. John D. Keister of Bran- dywine, W. Va., who has represented his district in the State Legislature for six years, writes that he uses Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin and finds it a splendid laxative, easy to take and mild, yet positive, in its action, and that it should bein every household for use when needed. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is sold by druggists in all parts of the United States and costs only fifty cents a bottle. It contains no opiate or nar Cotte drug, does not exipe, and is re- | commended as a family laxative, mild COMB SAGE TEA IN HAIR TO DARKEN TT It’s Grandmother's Recipe to Keep Her Locks Dark, Glossy, Beautiful. The old-time mixture of Shge Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grand- mother’s recipe, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good,, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when a youth- ful appearance is of the greatest ad- vantage. Nowadays, though, we don’t have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. ‘All drug stores sel! the ready-to-use product, impgoved by the addition of “Wyeth’s other ingredients, called Sage and Sulphur Compound” for about 50 cents a bottle. It is very popular because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morn- ing the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also pro- duces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive. This ready-to-use preparation is a de- lightful toilet requisite for those who desire a more youthful. appearance, It is not intended for the cure, mitiga- tion or prevention of disease. —_— Ole L.
