THE ADVANCE IS A REAL COUNTY NEWSPAPER
THINGS LOOK creed
It is generally believed now that this county will go into the spring
with the ground in excellent condition for crops, and that, owing to the
shortage of precipitation this winter, Nature will make up for it when it
Is most needed during thee late spring and summer months. This ex-
pectation is founded upon the law of averages and the fact that Nature,
while sometimes severely punishing herself, seems to relent and make up
Ior her shortcomings before too much damage .has been done.
With many farmers it is a problem as to :just what is best to do, but
there seems a general concensus that one of the first things to do Is to
clean up the land at a time, when prices are low, and have it in good
shape against the time when prices are higher. This is the idea of the
men who look conditions square in the face, while those who have self-
hypnotised themselves into believing that wheat conditions are the re-
sult of evil combinations of the grain trade, the machinations of the
Farm board or other designing influences against the farmer, will pro-
bably go on as before, denying every source of reliable information and
making hope father of the thought that good times for the farmers will
, return when some unknown force blasts the demons of evil who are
responsible for all our present price afflictions.
So far as the Golden Valley is concerned there is nothing wrong with
the climate, the average rain fall---which is nearly 17 inches with the
soil, or the way most farmers are coming to handle it. No section in the
West is more certain of a crop than this. a crop with good yield and of
the finest quality.
Every growing thing does well here--from calves, sheep and hogs, to
grain and grasses. All that has been wrong in the past year or two has
been the price of wheat, our staple crop, and it is the future of this pro-
duct that causes the worry, if not the bewilderment, of our farmers.

PASSING OF TROI.JJEY AND MICKEY
To us old timers who so many hundred times in years past rode from
town up to the capitol building at BLmmarck and down again each day
the passing of the trolley line gives a twich in the heart strings.
But whlle we shed a tear for the passing of the old car we are broken
hearted over the loss to the state of its famous grouch, yet well beloved
trolley driver, Mickey O'Connor.
Mickey has "come and gone," and like Flannigan, "off again, on again,"
we might say, wlth varying administrations, for he was the symbol of the
preeminence of the I. V. As. at the old rookery, his place being taken
by one of the faithful every time the governor was of the Nonpartisan
faith and belonging.
But Mlckey will not leave us. He still 'has his beloved orchestra to
conduct, and while he plays but the sonorous bass drum mlt de symbaLs
and the snare, he is a dance leader of renown, and his players have
brought much pleasure to those who love to "sl~ake a leg" on festive oc-
casiorm.
Thus we feel a dou~ble loss--trolley and Mickey--but are comforted in
the belief that with his rugged constitution Mickey promises to be with
us for many years to come. But he will miss the grandeur and glamor of
the captaincy of the Capital City's noisy carry-all; and he will miss the
hobnobbing with the great and near great of a state and nation who
have gladly given him a nickel for the joy of riding with him.
WHY OPPOSE THE OATH?
It is.diffiCult to visualize the reasons wh.v fourteen State Sen-
stets---Senator Wog among them--should vote against compelling teach-
ers in our schools and colleges to take an oath of alligianCe to the United
States and the flag, and pledge themselves by "precept and example" to
"promote respect for the flag and the institutions of the United States
of America."
It ls from teachers in some of our colleges that most of the disloyalty
to the country ahd its institutions is coming, and that those who teach
in this state should ,be required to take an oath, that any loyal America~
citizen ought to be glad to take, is no more than a proper demand on
the part of those who provide a living for teachers in the colleges and
eommon schools.
It would be a Parody if we taxed ourselves to keep teachers in a place
where it is most easy to ineulate ideas in the minds of the young tend-
lng to destroy the government which feeds disloyal educators. To
take such an oath and break it means treason, and a majority of Amer-
icans don't like treason.
o
The late legislature did a good thing when it passed resolutions for
votes to amend the constitution relating to fhe number of names re-
~lUlred on petitions for referring legislation, for initiating legislation, and
• .~Stitutional amendments. At the present time the small number of
names necessary on petitions to put the state to the expense of a special
election ks ridiculously low, as are the requirements to petitions referring
acts of the legislature and initiating any old thing a few people may
consider of world-wide importance, but not worth the ballot expense,
perhaps. All these resolutions will come before the people at the next
l~g~lar election, and they ought to be approved and a few people denied
the pleasuxe of causing the expenditure of a lot of money on matters
that a few years latter, when we look back, will make us wonder why all
the excitement.
O
The Seventy-first Congress, just adjourned made a peace time record
in appro~ations, having spent, or arranged to spend in the next two
years, aImost ten billion dollars, the largest sum to be taken from the
people when the country was not at war. Over one million of this, it is
said, was spent for the choice tidbits, the Senate "investigations," most
of which were mere political Jackpots for the good of the different fac-
tions, or Joy rides about the country bY dignified Senators, some of whom,
previous to their election, probably never before traveled at public ex-
pense, so when they had th echance went to it with unparalleled hilarity
and industry, but without visible benefit to the taxpayer.
Farmers wanting state hail insurance will 'have to apply for it under
the terms of the new law. Heretofore such insurance was automatic and
farmers not wanting it had to go to the trouble of notifying the proper
officlaIs to cut them out of it, which many failed to do and found them-
selves insured against their wishes. Compulsory hail insurance was bas-
ed upon the theory that most people do not know how to take proper
care of themselves, therefore the state did the Job for them, which threw
the burden of "paddling alone" on the individual farmer, the state thus
getting a Iat of business that it might not otherwise have had. Just an-
other sample of paternalistic government.
o.
In many counties of the state the farmers are holding meetings, dis
¢~asing wheat prospects and agreeing not only to reduce acreage, but to
secure pure and clean seed and sow it on land that has been properly
prepared. The idea of this is while somewhat reducing reduction it will
also reduce costs, or in other words getting two kernels of grain where
they l~ave been only getting one In the past, though paying as much for
the one as they will for two. Similar cut-cost meetings have been held
In this county, and there is no question but that they have proved of in-
tern_st and profit as leading the way for a good crop at the least possible
expeI~e, o
Two notable events take place this month: St, Patrick's Day on the
17th, ad the first day of spring on the 21st. Then comes Easter on
April 5.
After killing a House bill for a small appropriation to replace the pic-
tures of members of the House and Senate since statehood that hung in
the two Houses, the modest Senate killed the bill and then reconsidered
it, so that the portraits of a lot of rather notable men will grace the new
capitol building. If the pictures are to include those of chief clerks, as be-
fore, some of whom are which, all is well, otherwise the restoration will
lose a tremendous amount of value, not to say interest, to the world at
large, as it were.
O
The long delay farmers have suffered in the past in getting their state
hail insurance has been done away with by the late legislature and here-
after losers will be paid promptly. For several years efforts have been
made to speed up hail loss payment, s. but have failed because of the bitter
opposition of tl?e Nonpartisans, some of whom object to any changes m
the laws passed under the League "platform," but which experience
teaches are necessary for the good of the people.

Next year there is to be a great world fair at Chicago and the state
has made an appropriation to be represented there with her products
and advancements. There will be a great exhibit of our resources and
all the counties will be called upon to contribute of their products for
home of Mr. and Mrs. Claude
Schouboe at Williams Saturday
evening.
Win. Moyer of Beach was a Gol-
va visitor Monday morning.
Father Roesler of Belfield and
the priest from St. Phillps were at

Elmer and Bill Hartman from

Edward Lorenz is back in school
again and we are all glad his brok-

Oene Tulis dray team indulged
in a li~ely run away Monday, but
luckily no harm was done.
Land that was in corn. potatoes,
sweet clover, flax or alfalfa last
year is a good place to plant pure
seed this spring.
If gambling were remunerative,
the exhibits.
we should at this time begin to think about what we shall send to the,
fair to keep us on the map.
O
A new phase of the prohibition law has bobbed up in New Mexico.
where the legislature has passed a bill to have the state manufacture
booze and sell it. The advocates of the measure assert it is ironclad on
the ground that the dry laws do not prohibit states from going into the
business of manufacture and vendlng intoxicating liquor. Of course the
U. S. Supreme court will get this problem before the question is finally
settled.

We don't know whether it is against the rules for the female mind to
consider Easter finery at this time. At any rate we would like to have
some of our merchants try an advertisement of Easter wares just to see
how it would work out. In the 12 years we have been in Beach the Ad-
vance has never had an advertisement of Easter goods. It would be a
grea~ novelty to get one.
O
Mandan Pioneer: In years gone by many vital measures have been
talked to death, and with the type of men we are sending to the senate,
thanks to the election of senators by direct oct, e, plus the primary, there
are more zeros in the upper house than ever before disgraced that one
time honorable and honored body.

Many people think all Cl~trman Legge is interested in Is to better

see how business for harvesters is going to be very much helped by a re-
duced acreage, which Legge advocates.
