B : X i ADVERTISEMENTS es START RIGHT WITH OUR EARLY MATURING OHIO ) 2 SEED POTATOES THE FAMOUS RED RIVER VALLEY GROWS the FINEST POTATOES in the WORLD NO OTHER potato territory produces their equal for flavor and keeping qualities—a uniformity of size and shape get them the preference with all buyers. The present day potato crop is a money maker and with prevailing prices it is certainly a foolish waste of time and labor to take any chances with scrub seed when good seed and good care guarantees' a surer and much more profitable return. “FARGO” BRAND SEED POTATOES Our seed stocks are North Dakota Grown—hand selected—clean, healthy, uniform seed that will insure big yields with the proper planting and care. EARLY OHIOS — are easily the favorite. RURAL NEW YORKERS — a vigorous, heavy yielding, - white variety not so early.

The Nonpartisan league is no longer a state affair, according to one of its speakers. The man is right, and yet there are editors in North Dakota who think that the infant should have stay- ed in the cradle for keeps, whether its . feet and head stuck out of bed or not.

CREE T ) And there goes Frazier, that big, awkward, unsophisticated embryo, unaccustomed to the amenities of society, unskilled in the nicer touches of social grace—there he goes right straight to BOSTON! To BOSTON, mind ye, that great center of education and classics— and they say he is going to attempt a speech! The gall of these North Dakota farmers, when stirred up once, is as unlimited as space, as paramount as the eternal hills, as deep as the fathomless sea, as re- Ientless .and blind as a herd of stampeding buffaloes! How can they, oh, how can they! s ® s BUILDING GRAY MATTER No fodder is better for building up_ brain, Than the quaint little fish of the river or Main; The fish-eating mortal, ’tis always been said, Accumulates cortex and grooves in his head So fast that the fellow who fattens on : beef, 3 Seems a poor simple object of pity and grief!

Now rise a dozen loafers all around, from counters, dry-goods boxes, barrels, and kegs; they spit their quids out with explosive sound, and stretch their weary arms, and weary legs—save Bill MacKenzie, who retains his perch, and shifts his ¢ other jaw, aims for the spittoon with a mighty lurch, and drawls. ‘“Ah what’s the rip, Jim—keep. on yer shirt; don’t git excited, and I’ll treat th’ bunch; to-morror’s Sunday, and an hour won’t hurt; git down some sardines, and “I’'m on!’’ says Jim, and drags a counter out and sets it ‘““Who’ll stand the pop?’’ says Bill, with lusty shout; ‘““On me’’ yells Slim, from over near the door. “I’ll stand the crackers!’’ Reddy Hadley calls, then Bill gets out a knife of massive weight, wipes off the and opens sardines at surprising rate! case of lemon pop, then ‘‘for the sake of keepin’ up his end,”’ digs up a brick cheese with a mouldy top, and hands the ‘““What’s new in war news?’’ ventures Sandy Gill—and then the ‘‘spread’’ begins, but what’s the use?

Co- operative stores are a graft proposition, to be sure; but their particular graft- ing function is that of grafting on new skin, taken off by big business monop- olists years ago. * * * PRESIDENT WILSON SAYS THAT THE WAR WILL BE WON IN THE KITCHEN. MANY A DOMESTIC WAR HAS BEEN WON THERE, SO WHY NOT A FOREIGN WAR? £ * * THE MISSIONARY An editor, lanky and lean, with nix in his pocket or bean, perceived. the intrigue of the F. N. P. League, to skin up the .farmer so green! This editor thought of the spoil to be wrung from the tillers of soil and the heart in him swelled: “Ah, that game must be quelled, so | offer my talent and toil!"” So down at his desk Eddie sat, and he felt of his purse—it was flat; and, “By the long Harry, like a true mission- ary, | must never be thinking of that; yet the truth of the matter is clear, I've been working for many a year, I've been gathering news _for a few paltry sous, with never a cent for a beer!
