bright side of farm life. That
Mr.. Atkinson is prosperous was
shown by the fact that he was
just hauling out last years
wheat to make room for the
new crop, which is a good one,
if.his we'll bred and we'll kept
horses, cattle, good barns and
comfortable home had not been
evidence enough After spend
ing sometime here, we were
invited over to the N. ]. Arm
strong place to view the bump
er crop raised there this year
and which is truly a sight for
sore eyes. Threshing opera
,tions were just beginning and
Everything was just "a hum
ming" Before our departure
WIS were taken into the culin-
ary department over which
Jean Belk presides and who
served us such fragrant tea,
and such delicious viands as
would cause the pink teas" of
some of our society matrons to
pale into insignifcanCe.
From a report in the Grand
Forks Times, we are led to be-
lieve that a Turtle Mountain
farmer tried to terminate the
mortal career of Roy Cook,
of The Courant staff. Now
don't it seem just horrid that
after writing all kinds of yarns
about the chickens the other
fellows killed, that a man
could not go out and hunt a
little himself without bein g
pounced upon like a revenue
officer hunting for moonshiners
in the mountains of Kentucky?
The pen is mightier than the
sword tbs said, but it remains
to be proven or to be seen after
we have read Mr.. Cook S re-
marks in the Courant, whether
it is mightier than a rifle or
not.

iod was forty-t three dollars.

rollment was four dollars and
eight cents and according to

Owing to the fact that fifty
per cent. of the pupils failed to
attend the required sixty days
or more, as shown by the re-
cords in the superintendent 8
office, the superintendent will
withhold the state and county
apportionment money until the
school boards have given salts
factory reason for such alb
sence. This will apply to only
a few districts.
