That Bad River News

The Bad River News got out n
very attractive holiday edition of
twelve pages last week. The News
is a very readable paper most any
old week. Midland Mail.
The mayor of TT. Pierre was re-
Gently arrested for selling intoxi-
eating liquors without permit or
license which fact was kept as dark
as possible by the Ft. Pierre news
papers, much to the disappoint-

thinks they should all be treated
alike regardless Of the end of the
county they live in. Underwood
Times.
The Hayes homestead is an adept
at forgery in comparison with the
Bad River News. The lat .cr gave
US credit for an original local. while
the Homestead SO disguised it as
to make it apply locally. The
Homestead sometime ago com
planned that the Philip News did
not give it credit for local it re-
printed. What inconsistency.

The prospects are good for a

family. 1t seems as though in
sending out notices to delinquent
tax payers said tax payers have
been requested to remit an extra
dollar to pay for sending out the
notice. Some of the delin1uents
were generous enough to send in
the dollar and some were not. but
whether they did or did not their
tax receipt was Forthcoming.
This set some of them to thinking
and the Cottonwood Republican
made an investigation and found
out that the dollar can not be leg
ally collected unless the notice has
been served by "personal service"
Who got all the dollars!

AS the county may be asked to re-
fund some of them.

This section is in danger of be-
ing up against a coal famine un-
less the strike conditions in the
northwest are ad justed, and there
is not much hope for that at the
present time. The Indications are
that the strike will extend to all
trainmen. We advise the people
in this vicinity to secure n supply
of coal while it is possible to do
so.-Iayes Homestead.
Winter is here with Il vengeance.
We have already had more cold
weather and snow than usually
falls to our lot in one winter.
There is one consolation. however,
the snow, when it goes off, will
till the creeks and dams with
water and the ground will be in
fine shape for spring work. The
prospects are good for a bumper
crop next year.--lIayes Home
