When the. editor of the Record was
in Denver last fall he was asked in
a serious manner by an Indiana COM
rade if he had ever seen corn grow
ing in North Dakota. It is not gener-
ally KNOWN ''back east that when,
Lewis and Clark were in this coun-
try, a hundred years ago, they found
the Indians along the Missouri >1dver
UP this way raising corn. Parohed
corn, too, has been found in old In
dian graves. Corn assuredly is an old
timer in these parts. But what we
want to say us that not only is CON
siderable corn raised here an in-
creasdng, acreage each succeeding year
but p in this county hogs are being
fattened for market every year on
native corn. For dozen or fifteen
years the people of the Hollander set.
Elements at Westfield and Hull, In
this county, have almost without ex-
eeption raised few hogs for market,
fattening the animals. ON corn pro
dnced on the home farm. And more
corn and more hogs are being raised
in those neighborhoods right along
Recently -Arend Hasper, an early set
tier of the Westfeid country, shipped
TO Sioux City carload of hogs tat
tened at home on corn raised by lhirn-
self. The area Of CORN planting is be
ing largely increased each year in
North Dakota, and particularly in the
more sheltered region of the Missouri
Slope. &a ~

place. J
Merchant Brophy, of Godldn, was
doing business in Linton Wednesday
OF last week. Mrs. Bpphy is still In
Bismarck, sick, and is not getting
along as well aus could be wished.
Linton is SO dry at present that,
were IT not for the snow on the ground
the dust that would accumulate in the
throats OF the people would be almost
unbearable. 77::-s--;s,-.S... a
A strange accident occurred to a
little daughter of John Dyk, in the
Holland settlement, one day last
week. She got dried pea in one of
her nostrils, and it required the doc
tors service to remove it. T
Mr.. and Mrs. W. L. Yeater, OF
Hazelton, came in by the N. p. train
last evening. Mrs. Yeater lis en- route
to California to visit relatives and
friends. And the ladyis many friends
in all parts Of the county wish her a
safe journey and a pleasant visit, for
surely she is entitled to good, long
vacation. Mrs. Yeater will 60 west
over the Southern Pacific.
Last week Supt. Coventry revoked
the certificate of H. Register, a young
man vino recently came to Emmons
county and was teaching school In one,
of the German settlements In the
southern part Of this county. He
severely beat a seyensyear-oad son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Yolk. The hoy.
was badly bruised. Mr.. r. appears
to be entirely too strenuous in his
methods to make a successful pedh-
gogue. = rs

uie," whatever that may be. So far,
however. 1t is not generally known
