Editor Times, Dear Sirs:-
| have been with you for the
last two months and must say
those two months will always
be like a verdant oasis in a
sandy desert to me. l said
through the columns Of your
noble paper soon after l came
among you that / thought yours
the best country taking it every
way, that have ever seen, and
tfter two months among you,
enjoying your hospitality, gen
erosity and society, l am COM
PEELED to say t''s | never was
among a peopls hat gave me
greater pleasure. A genial
and whole souled Christian
people, not of the straight
laced puritan type but the kind
that lives the true Christian
life without the faced pharasee
type, not the pessimist kind
that believe their order is the
only one that has the truth, the
whole truth and nothing hut
the truth, but holding broad
Christ-like views that faith in
Christ and obedience to His
laws according to our best
judgement is all that we can
ask of any one, or that God
would require of us.
l cannot but acknowledge
my great gratitude and pleas
ure to the citizens of Mo. VAL
ley and vicinity for their post
card shower on my birthday,
the memory of which will al
ways be a pleasant thought in
my life. How good tits to con-
tribute to the happiness of
others. The spirit that pre-
vades you people to an unusual
degree has surely helped me to
Hook out on the world with a
more comprehensive view of
the fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of man.
Is the world growing worse
or better? The pessimist says
worse the optomist says better.
The pessimist sees all the wick.
edness of our day and can see
nothing but evil and that con-
tinually and can see the end of
all things in the near future.
The optomist sees in that past
all the evils OF our day ten
times intensified and can see
all of the uplifting influences
Eof our day among which the
chautauqua is an able factor,
which was ably demonstrated
in the chautauqua just closed
at Mo. Valley. The unrest of
the twentieth century is one of
the hopeful sins of the present
day that the people of our day
is able and will correct abuses
before they become unbearable
and undermine our social fabric
and bring our grand Republic
to destruction. Our coming
ling with the world gives me
great faith in the twentieth
century to lift the world to a
higher plain. The churches
are surely doing their part and
the people should give a cordial
helping hand. Stand by your
ministers for they are able and
proficient. The Christian
church has in the person of
Rev. Winston one of the ablest
ministers it has been my pleas
IRE to meet and one that will
accomplish great good if his
congregation will help him. I
think the other ministers ave
equally deserving from the
knowledge | have of them.

GOVERNMENT MINT COINED AS
MANY NICKLES IN 1910 AS IN
ANY OTHER YEAR.

The story that has been going the
rounds of the press and circulated in
Devils Lake to the effect that great
many counterfeit nickels are N circu'
lation in North Dakota at the present
time and that the people should guard
against accepting 1910 nickels, is found
to be pure Fabrication. An investiga-
tion brings out the fact that there were
as many nickels coined in 1910 at the
government mints as during any other
year. The story is giving its quietus
by the following from John E. Wilke,
Of the Department of Justice at Wash
ington, in response to an inquiry sent to
the department. from North Dakota:
"Replying to your note Of recent date
which has been referred to this Office
from the Department of Justice, you
are advised that the newspaper article
submitted is without foundation in
fact. The government coined just as
many nickels in 1910 as usual"
