The RECORD has considerable trouble
keeping track of the boy babies and
good many of the reports come in rather
late but we intend to get all the young
thoroughbreds registered in cur columns,
even if we dent hear Of their appearance
until they begin to play base ball and
hook watermelons. This time the news
comes from the Reop nelghberhood, and
that pleasant couple Mr.. and Mrs. D. L.
Fetter are the happy parents. The young
mans age could not be given with exact
ness by our informant, but he thought two
weeks was about the period. The RECORD
congratulatcs the little stranger but, D.
L., we hope that next time you will sit
down and drop us a postal.card right
straight off," The RECORD struts and
crows at great rate whenever it is able
to report the coming of grown.up immi.
grants into the county, and it certainly
don't wantto overlook the advent of the
dear little natives. And the RECORD
gives notice that it proposes to growl fu-
rl.ous.ly hereafter every time it fails to
hear OF the appearance Of little stranger
right quick" Amen

Diamond willows,

The clipping referred to was from the
RECORD. The diamond willow is plcnti-
full in Emmons county, on the bottom
lands along the Missouri. 1t grows In
"ciumps.' and is seldom found over
three or four inches in diameter usually
less. 1t is mere of "sapling" than a

crease its SIZE. From well-preserved
specimens found under ground, it seems
to be as rot proof" as red cedar itself.
In this neighborhood 1t is used almost
exclusively for wlre-fence posts, and is
satisfactory, The post. t.holcs are generally
made with sharpencd ash stake while
the ground is soft in spring. A side blow
or two loosens the stake so that 1t can be
easily withdrawn. Placed not more than

StOR and Consider.

Mitchell Republican: If any resident
of Dakota is disposed to feel discouraged,
let him stop for moment and consider
in which direction he could go and better
himself. The future prosperity of Dakota
is as well assured as that of any other
section of this country, for she has given
indubitable proof Of her wealth producing ng
power. The stress Of the times may be
felt here as severely as elsewhere, be-
cause the newness of the country has pre-
cluded the accumulation of resources
which help to tide over the older commu-
mites. But when the revival cemes--as

county Republican committee has issued
no call for convention to nominate a
candidate fer the position, nor has he
been requested by any one to do so. On
the contrary, he has spoken to a
number of voters residing in differ
ent sections regarding the matter, and the
universal expression has been: "By all
means let our school affairs be kept out
of politics. For superintendent. Mr..
Worst, Of course, if he wants it," As
our Democratic fellow. citizens have made,
no move IN the matter, 1t is likely that
they, too, look upon tho selection of a
county superintendent as matter with
which party politics has nothing to do.
The RECORD, therefore, announces the
name of ]. H. Werst as candidate for
the position Of county superintendent of
schools, at the election to be held on
Tuesday, June 10.

Eureka Voice: Dakota people who
went along with the crowd to the Pacific
Coast last fall are straying back one by
one, and the unanimous verdict is, .Da-
kota IS good enough for me. The fact
of the matter is that the coast boom was
builded upon the sand, and when tho
winds came, in the shape of thousands of
anxious investigators, the structure dis.
solved and the sand remained glistenlHg
in the sunlight. Yes; Dakota is good
enough orsanybedy. But it requires a
little toll, little patience, a little econ.
