A poem imagines Minot transformed by universal honesty and virtue. If every husband loved his wife, children excel, teachers teach the Golden Rule, and townsfolk forgave faults, Minot would resemble a New Jerusalem and reflect what God desires.
Tas county commissioners weigh bonding Ward county for 200000 to retire warrants of similar amount. Interest would drop from seven percent to four percent, saving about 6000 annually. Next meeting could decide, with plans to limit spending and build only essential bridges and main roads first.
J J Hill, a prominent Minnesota farmer, is promised to attend the Ward county fair next fall to discuss raising clover. He claims clover rejuvenates worn land and can guide farmers in cultivating this key crop. He can speak on farm and stock topics and would be a valuable guest for local growers.
A Minot area column argues for building a county poor house on the 320 acre county farm south of Minot to address farm profits and pauper costs. It cites wheat crop returns, milk use at Northwestern hospital, and calls for reform to separate the needy from the shiftless while urging support for farming and Great Northern interests. It quotes James J. Hill on farming prosperity and warns of social consequences of neglecting agricultural wealth.
