A 1iq Deal in Real Estate.

J. r. Waters, a prominent Grand
Forks real estate man, has selected
Minot as his future place of bust
ness, and now occupies spacious
in the new Emerson block. His COM
pany is known as The Security Mort
gage Loan Co. Mr.. Waters comes
highly recommended. The following
article taken from recent issue of
the the Grand Forks Herald, will be
read with interest:
Negotiations were completed yester-
day for one of the largest realty trans
fers ever made in Polk county, when
farm, comprising some $4,000 acres
formerly owned by Mayor Richardson
of Grand Forks, was transferred to
William NJ and M. Ringsdorf, Of
GreenBay, Wis, for a consideration
of $45 per acre. The land is one of
the best farms in the county seat and
will be improved by the new owners.
The deal was made through J. r..
Waters, of Grand Forks. The price
realized indicates that Polk county
land values are not declining, but
rather steadily advancing.

The party of Scots who gathered at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Hethertol.
ST., last Saturday evening to cele-
brate the birthday of Robbie Burns
spent a most enjoyable evening.
Among the out of town quests were
Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace of Burlington,
Mr.. and Mrs. Ross of Granville, Mr..
and Miss Graham of Forest River and
Mr.. D. c. Ross of Ryder. The program
consisted of Scotch songs and read
ings and addresses on Burns and his
work. To the toast "The Immortal
Memory" Mr.. VIM. Hetherton, Sr.,
spoke as follows:
The Immortal Memory.
How came that the natal day of a
humble peasant boy is at this time
receiving celebrations in every quar-.
ter Of the globe; that after the lapse
Of over one hundred and fifty years
his memory remains bright and i'm.

people, God-gifted with intellect, i'm

and deceit he voiced the inward Ian
suage of his heart. He appealed to
the brotherhood of fellow mortals and
they confessed him man and brother.

Scotland's greatest poet was one of
the most intensely loving and self
revealing Of men in the modern
world, but when his life story to its
minutest detail Is told, 1t was etiu
but broken column, short, sad frag-
splintered and SCARED by
storms and gusts of passion. Re

the GROWING glory Of the fulfllment
that was possible.

i that went on around him. In relig
ion he poured out his vitriolic wratl
on the gloom and hypocracy of the
| popular theology of his time wher
dead orthodoxy had obscured true
goodness and manliness.
But behind all his jibes and scorn
there revealed itself reverent feel
ing for the supreme, and a deep sense
of his tender and gracious care for
all. With irresistible force he loved
al nature animate and inanimate, she
spoke to him in hundred voices and
he pistured her tenderly and passion
ately. He had deep insight into her
beauty, flowing stream and glowing
landscape awakened his soul and
with fervent note he sang the beauty
Of the earth. In all his varied as
poets discounting all mis- faults and
frailties, they cherished him as one
of natures greatest sons. His was a
big soul. His was an inspired tongue.
Judge Murray, in an excellent ad-
dress gave some "reminiscences of the
poets home and friends and Mr..
John s. Wallace told in an interesting
way what Burns has done for Scot
land and the Scotch.
After refreshments Scotch reels
and dances were INDUCED in and all
present were sorry that it was Sat

continuance of the pleasures of the
evening into "the wee oor ayont the

Altogether the occasion was most

Had Burns been treated more kind
ly and CONSIDERABLY by his contem
poraries, had he been made less the
lion OF a passing day in the capital o.
Scotland, how different might the
closing chapters of his life have been!
But no one of his .detractors could
deny that he did much was praise.
worthy and beneficient.
Let them be grateful for all that
was bright and noble in his life and
works and leave his weakness and his
failings to him whose pity is great
and whose love is infinite. To de-
scribe the characteristics of Burns
genius and writings was to describe
Burns himself. In reading his poems
one lived with him the life of a
Scottish peasant of last century.
He had a profound insight into the
great pulsing heart of humanity
with beauty and with power he voic-
ed the love of father, mother, brother
sister and even more supremely that
of lover. In his poetry was reflected
all that entered into, and constituted
the life Of people. Patriotism all
through was dominant note. It was
almost incredible that a man born in
poverty and devoted to toll ealy and
rlate could express in homely doric
every phase Of sentiment and emo
ton that touched the human heart
Burns was very truly the poet Of la
bour, the toiling thousands, the poor
and the very poor. He voiced as poet
never voiced before, the joys AMI the
sorrows of the poor mans lot. In
treating the everyday life of the PEG
pie their characteristics, their pleas
ures and their pursuits, their joys and
