This is a community in which each one of usI is
expected to do his share toward making it a better
place in which to live.
Each member of the community should take an
active interest in all local affairs. Each member
should turn out to every meeting where communi­
ty developments are being discussed.
It is only through whole-hearted co-operation
that we can hope to build up and hold the future
growth of this community at a mark of which we
may all feel proud.
If you have been shirking even a small part of
your civic duty in the past, make up your mind
right now that for your own good as well as for
the greater welfare of the community that you
will do your full share in the future.

Perhaps the most extensive and
effective rural educational tour ever
a* tempted was recently completed
under the auspice» of the North
Dakota agricultural college, which
bent a special dairy-poultry train,
bearing speakers and exhibits into
87 communities o f the state.
The tour lasted 34 days aud wts
devoted to the encouragement of
more efficient production, through
the development of better herds
and flocks along pure bred liner.
The necessity for culling poor pro­
ducers among both cows and hens
was stressed, and it was pointed
oat that satisfactory profits are
possible only through the employ
ment of advanced methods, inc'ud-
ing better breeding, good feeding,
sanitation and the elimination if
“ boarder” animals which do not
pay for their keep. The raising of
all feed on the farm was also urged
Tho principles advocated by
these specialists lie at the very
foundation of success in the dairy
and poultry industries, and the
methods they recommend are a |.
plicable everywhere.
In carrying on this program of
farm education the North Dakota
agricultural college is performing a
real service to its state, and by »x-
ample is conferring benefits uptn
agriculture beyond its borders.
The first successful cable to
M laid was to Calias from Do,
ver, about 1850, by Jacob and
John Brett. In 1858 the first
cable messages were exchanged
between England and America.
There are now over 300.1M/J
miles of cable over which mes

Here’s the spreader that economizes
man power and horse power—the top of
the box is from 6 to 10 inches lower, and
the drive wheels are from 4 to 8 inches
higher than on any other spreader —
there's a real labor-saving and draft-

will not cause drifting. The

And here’s another ad­
vantage of its construction
— the John Deere is much
simpler, requires fewer re­

than the ordinary type of
