John McCrory returned last even
ing from visit of several months
to his relatives at Pasadena, Cal. He
was accompanied on his return by
his grandson. Young Jack, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas McCrory. The
lad is getting to be quite big boy,
and looks as though California had
agreed with him.
In the spring, when the soil is
compact and moist, about an inch of
moisture will evaporate during a
week. Narrowing the land loosens
up the surface and stops this evapor
alton. The soil mulch can be main
tanned after the crop is planted by
narrowing after it is up from three
to eight or nine inches. In this way
the moisture that would otherwise
evporate can be saved up till the
crops need it in July and August.

This forenoon, just as the Record
was ready for the press. word came
of the death of Mr.. G. S. Steadman,
Of Larvik. The death occurred at
about | p. m. Wednesday. The
disease was erysipelas, of which he
was sick short time. Deceased
came to Emmons county six years
ago this spring. He would have
been fifty-seven years of age the
3Oth of next June. He leaves eleven
children. The funeral will take
place in the Linton Methodist church
tomorrow (Friday) afternoon at

Efforts are being made to have
big crowd present at a dance to be
given Friday (to-morrow) night.
March 31st. for the benefit of George
Brooks. Harold Turner and Billy
Irwin are giving considerable OF
their time arranging for the dance
and selling tickets. and others will
help out in the good work. Mr..
Brooks is totally blind. He is man
who has always tried to help him
self. Afflicted as he is, he is an ex-
perienced carpet-weaver. and has
done considerable work here at that
business. But this is a dull year,
and there is very little of that work
to do, and the presence of a big
crowd at the dance would prove of
great assistance to worthy man.
How did it happen that so many
boys we're born in Emmons county
on st. Patrick's day? We have
heard of five, so far. Word comes
from the southern part of the coun-
ty that Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Sey-
mour are in the "Seventeenth--of
Ireland" list. In writing to Charlie
Carley the happy dad describes the
kidlet as follows: well, Charley,
it's boy. Color. white. Weight,
81: pounds. Was going to name
him Albert Phelps; but his mother
protested against the last name. So
we have concluded to call him Pat
rick Pat for short. He doesn't
kick. cry or knock in any way just
like his pa Canadian and Yankee
that's good combination. Tell
the old chap at the Record office that
I'll use my influence to get the boys
vote for him after awhile, it he
gives him good notice" Look
here, AL! Didn't you just remark
that you weren't a knockero Do
you mean to intimate that the chief
push Of this rag of freedom will be
running for office twenty-one years
from now? But, then, we dom
know; it may be so doing our
canvassing with wings. However.
we forgive you the intimation and
send congratulations to you, Mrs.
Seymour and the little ter lerfoot.
