The Sun, riding in splendor high,
Shed his warm rays, newly born,
Over the cold earth and sky,
On beautiful new years. morn.
The air was cool and q light North
wind
Blew the stalks of last years corn
Over the fields, middle and end,
On beautiful new years. morn.
The birds were singing loud and clear,
AS II to their Latest born,
The sounds were sweet-oh, yes, they
were,
On a beautiful new years morn.
The old time barn and the new one
too,
Though the first is old and worn,
Echoed the sounds of "Work to do"
On beautiful new years morn.
The farm hands rose at the break oi
day,
And the hunter hanged up his horn,
All eager to begin work, they say,
On beautiful new years morn.

letter Of congratulations to the manu-
facturers of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy as follows: "Sixteen years ago
when our first child was o baby he was
subject to croupy spells and we would
be very uneasy about him. We began
using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in
1887, and finding it such reliable
remedy for colds and Group, we have
never been without 1T in the house
since that time. We have five chill
dren and have given it to all Of them
with good results. One good feature
OF this remedy is that it is not disa-
greeab.e to take and our babies really
like 1t. Another is that 1t is not dam
gerous and there Is no risk from giving
an overdose. congratulate you upon
the success Of your remedy. For sale

remain idle and do not Join in these
movements, how can we expect to
share in the benefits proposed by the
government in the apportionment of
the millions that have been set apart
for irrigation? @ II
North Dakota should act. There is
no money in the state treasury set
apart for the payment of the expenses
necessary for the salary and expense
of state irrigation. engineer. But
the whole state will benefit by such
an appointment. Therefore, the county
commissioners of the counties, private
individuals and interests depending
upon the settlement and development
of the state should contribute to this
fund. Counties should contribute at
least 500. A number Of counties have
done so already. It will be money
we'll spent and the expenditure will
be heartily approved by the tax payers
of the state.
When another legislative session ar
rives, the state will without doubt re-
imburse parties who are advancing
funds. But the prime need now is
for money, with which to pay an irri-
cation engineer. We must all help in
this movement. There is no time to
delay. .
Engineer Robbins of the government
service has visited Minot and other
localities and is now investigating
along the Heart river. His investiga-
lions will be continued through the
state. We should have a state engi-
neer in the field with him. But above
all we should have a state engineer at
the Salt Lake City meeting. We must
not deliberately close our eyes to the
opportunity of obtaining our just share
of government funds for irrigation.
The state press should help. It is
the great instrument to which we
look for aid in all good works. Urge
counties to appropriate a moderate
sum to help in the good work.
