DANIELS.

Daniels school reopened this week and
the children appear to be as happy as
the birds in spring time.
Lately the weather appears to have
changed for the better. Compared with
the earlier part Of the winter this weather
might be described as mild.
Rev. Austin, of Hannah, officiated at
the funeral of the little baby boy of Mr..
and Mrs. Wallace Rose. the service be-
ing held on the 9th of last month and
was quite largely attended.
The Woman fraternity of Daniels is
feeling quite elated over the success of
their leap year ball, held on the 10Th of
last month. The youth and beauty from
miles around were here to trip the light
fantastic toe to music furnished by the
Wales orchestra.
j. B. Fisk is now reported as getting
along nicely since the accident he met
with the other day in falling from the
hay rack while going after hay. He was
getting out of the sleigh to unhitch the
horses, which had got down in a deep
snow drift and were plunging badly.
1t was feared at the time he had sus-
tanned serious internal injuries.
People here are ready to admit that
there is not section of North Dakota
that can sportas convenient and pleasant
. winter driving outfit as has been fitted
up here this winter. 1t is almost what
might be called movable house for
comfort, and gives enjoyment to it, &C.

snow covered prairies.


Daniels keeps right along growing in
population. Hardly week seems to &C
by when there is not the arrival of some
little stranger to be announced as an
item of news, and a happy father and
mother to be congratulated. This time
i: is boy, who lately put in an appear
ance at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Matt
Snider. and Matt is all smiles.
The deepest sympathy of the people
of Daniels goes out at this sad time to
Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace Rose, who at the
time of this writing are mourning the
loss of their baby boy. who met death
by choking. During its short and happy
life it had been favorite with many. as
we'll as in the home where the loss is
sure to be most keenly felt.
The young folks of Daniels have re-
organized their help committee and ex-
pect to accomplish great amount of
active work during the balance of the
winter. The recent let up in the cold
weather is the reason of this action. It
was not until they looked back at the
results of their past efforts that they
realized the good that had been accom-
plished.
One evening during the past week the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. David was
the gathering place of good-sized
crowd of young folks from all over the
Daniels settlement. There appeared to
be no lack of amusement to make the
evening pass pleasantly and the re-
freshments served gave the guests a
chance to observe how Hospitality the
host and hostess could entertain.
Operations on the farm already show
that preparations are underway for
spring work. Farmers are now hauling
hay in from the meadow stacks to the
barn and have started to clean out their
seed grain. It may be little wet
around here at sowing time but just the
same everyone is approaching the
springs work with every anticipation
that this falls crop will be "a bumper one.
There has been lots Of snow to put the
soil in good shape and seldom has the
frost entered the ground to the depth
which it was this winter.
This neighborhood has been visited
during the fine weather of the past week
by representative of the Cavalier Co.
Clipper, the newspaper lately establish
ed at Empire. We did not hear what
success was had. A newspaper printed
out on the prairie away from the rail-
road may seem to be nothing more than
a novelty but then many remember it is
only a few years ago since the Hannah
Noon was being issued under similar
difficulties. Hannah got the railroad it
wanted and Empire is bent on obtaining
the same thing.

John Spenst has had some of his young
horses out exercising them these fine
days in order to have them IN good
shape for the springs work.
Miss Stella w. Penner has engaged to
make her home with the family of John
Spenst again this spring and will re-
main with them during the summer.
John Penner is having new we'll put
down on his farm this winter. Like
many of his neighbors Mr.. Penner has
found much difficulty this winter in get
ing water for his stock since winter set
in. Some have had to haul water a
distance of several miles.
Martin Penner has found his new
house rather cold quarters during the
extreme weather since the beginning of
the year. He will make improvements
during the summer that he expects will
make 1t snug and comfortable in the
cold weather of years to come.
David Harder has sold out his inter-
ests here. His creamery business is now
owned by Cornelius Fehr.who we under
stand will put in windmill with which
to operate the plant and a number of
other modern Improvements. We have
not learned what Mr.. Harder's plans are
as to the future.
No wonder that the wind is blowing
from the west again. And from what we
hear it is all on account of a. boy living
out west who is now proudly wearing a
pair OF No. Ii winter shoes. They are
OF such bright red color that the snow
is likely to melt long before the opening
up OF spring in most of the localities
around here.

with team on the road while driving
home from Langdon the other day. He
hadn't turned off the road sufficient to
allow the.passage of team with big
load of straw. No one seems to be par
ticularly to blame for what happened.
Events of interest in Berlin and
vicinity are coming on apace and addi-
tons to the population in the way of
babies weighing from eight to twelve
pounds are now being heard of with
frequency. Several homes around here
have had Mrs. A. Penner as their o,,e.+
lately. and these visits may generally be
taken to indicate the welcoming of
little stranger at some home in the vi
entity of Berlin.

The custom fell into disuse during

now.

It is hard 10 teach the average southern farmer that he can not spend better time and money thaS in judi cious improvement of his land. They will work among rocks all their lives, and stumps until they naturally rot out of the way. But the worst feature to Us is to see land washing and teaching so badly for want of proper care. We feel regretful sorrow every time we see a place going to waste. and gen. uine pride and pleasure wherever there are signs of improvement and upbuild- ing. We know to our cost what it means to reclaim worn-Out lands.-G. F. Hunnicutt, in Dixie Farmer.
