A MANS MONEY HIS own

A MANS MONEY HIS OWN
Does man have a right to spend his
own money as he pleases? Or is he
bound by some unwritten law to spend
it where he makes it, and with those
whose cooperation have created the
environment in which it was made?
1t is lively question still, after near
ly a generation of debate and more OF
less unpleasant argument.
But out of all the discussion and cor
troversy, the answers have slowly crys.
tallized, until finally most people agree
A mans money is his own. He can
spend it where he pleases and how he
pleases. There is no unwritten law
binding him to anything, SO long as b,
does not expend it to the deteriment
and injury of society. These things
are undeniably true, and those who do
not concede them fully are injuring the
cause which they seek to strengthen.
But it is also true that there are GOOD
reasons why man should patronize
and support his nome institutions, and
why it ID the part of good citizenship to
co operate in the up-building of his
community SO long as he receives fair
treatment from those with whom he
deals. An exchange offers the follow
ing ten reasons, all of which seem
pretty sound and substantial, as to why
q man should deal in the community
in which he resides. They seem to
lead one to the conclusion that a mans
real value to the community in which
he lives DOES depend in considerable
measure upon the manner in which he
spends his money. They are at least
worthy of careful thought:
! You can examine your purchases
in the home store and be assured of sat-
isfaction before investing your money.
2 Your home merchants can dupli-
cate the prices made by any response
BILE concern anywhere, on goods of equal
quality, in the same quantities, and on
the same basis of delivery and payment.
8 Your home merchants are ALWAYS
ready and willing to make right any
error or any defective article purchased
4 Your home merchants help sup
port, through direct and indirect taxa
ton, your schools, your churches, your
libraries and other public institutions.
5 Your home merchants help make
good local market for everything YOU
have to sell, and that market-more
than any other one factor-gives yeur
land its present value.
6 Your home merchants are YOUR
good friends, ever ready to extend a
helping hand in time of need.
Z If this community is good enough
to live in, and make your money in, it
is good enough to spend it in.
8 The best citizens in this eommun.
ity are those who believe in and prac.
tice home patronage. Be one of the
best.
8 The merchants in the distant city
give you nothing valuable that the
nome merchants cannot give you-and
the former cannot and will not do for
you many things the latter do gladly.
10 Every dollar kept in circulation
in this community helps increase pro
perty values. Every dollar sent out of
this community, that could as well be
spent here, hinders the wheels of pro-
gress and helps in some other COM
munity at your expense

MAIL SERVICE CRIPPLED
PETITIONS BEING SIGNED

The people of New England and
vicinity are very much dissatisfied with
the disconlinuance of the daily stage
between Dickinson and that place and
are having petition circulated which
will be placed in the hands of Congress
man Hanna who has promised to take
the matter up at once and secure relief
for both the people at New England and
Mott.
The daily stage from Richardton to
Mott and Gladstone to Regent, have also
been discontinued.
1t seems that the Milwaukee road has
the mail contracts, and while the service
from the east will be all right possibly,
providing the road remains open and
trains run on time; still there is no
provision made for mail service from
Fargo and N. p. points west along the
N. r.. except the dispatching of mails
to Mott and New England by way of
Terry and down to Mclaughlin which
would necessitate delay of from two
to three days as compared with the
old daily star route service.

ment" scheme and will no doubt read
the following from The Devils Lake
Journal with more or less interest:
1t will be remembered that during the
past summer the National Home company
of Spokane. WASH, did considerable
business in Devils Lake, in which they
offered 10 loan money at an almost
unheard of low rate. 1t was on inquiry
learned at the time that the concern had
not deposited with the proper state
officials the deposit required by our law
of foreign building and loan associations
Now comes the statement that the
officers of this concern were indicted by
the grand jury in Washington. the
charge being that they used the United
State mails to defraud. It is claimed
that the company cannot live up to the
claims set forth in their contracts.
1t is alleged that the postofice in
spectors succeeded in getting letters from
investors who claim that the company
has not performed its part Of the contract
az agreed, this it is said has arisen
largely from the fact that certain claims
were made by the agents Of the COM
pany that were not supported by the
contract. for instance, in the contracts
it is stated that after contract holder
had paid $500 month lie was eligible
for a loan. On Investigation it indi-
Gates that they were eligible to receive q
loan provided sufficient funds had been
assembled to enable the company to
make loan. In any event the govern
ment deemed it sufficient grounds to
cause the arrest of the officers of the
company.

Dickinson's basketball enthusiast,
were at the armosy on Thursday even.
ing in soodly numbers to witness the
whirlwind game between the champion
team from Valley City and Go. K.
/ This. is the second game with Co. G,
the, tirst one being last Friday night
when our boys lost the game by a score
of~%7 to Is. In. .Thursday nights game
the 6nal scores were IS 10 IS. Although
these scores would indicate that our
team was badly outclassed, X boys
played an even game most all the way
through and individually their work
was even better than some of til eli
opponents.
In fridays game Dickinson started
out with possession Of the ball and got
q good lead in the FIRST four minutes of
the game. Co. G Immediately put their
two, Subs into the game and the, scores
went about even until the latter part Of
the second half when G forged ahead
and the final whistle found them is
points ahead. The game was rough and
what our boys lacked was the previous
strenuous practice that hardens the
basketball artist.
In Thursdays game Co. G got the lead
and for the first fifteen minutes made
baskets in rapid succession. Co. X got
accustomed to their crooks and the
strength of their man at center, picked
up and scored even points for the re-
,mainder of the game.
Co: G team have almost professional
men at the game, devoting much of
their time to practice and are hardened
much more than our boys. OF course
they play the toughest methods of the
game and understand each other
thorouehly. but Individually they do not
outclass or even, come up to KS men.
Especial mention must be made of
Blair's playing Thursday night, although
the opposing team tried to outdo him at
every opportunity and two or three times
he was hurt quite badly, still he
played star game until the last four
minutes Of the game when Orchard re-
lived him. Kunz also deserves credit
for his playing. He made sure basket
throws and succeeded in scoring II
points for the home team.
Co. Xviii play. a return game with
Valley City early in March and hope fol
a victory then, as they will have an
addition of two expert players by that
time.

CONTESTS Q : s
ARE l!l! HEARD
Government Questions Wetz-
STEMS Good Faith in Main
tanning Residence. Claims
of Many Priests Contested.

A peculiar action was recently started
by the government against Dominick
Wetzstein. who resides north of Richard
ton.
The hearing was held at the Dickin-
son U. S. land Office the first of this
week. Special Agent L. X. Dellar con-
Quoting the prosecution for the govern
ment. H. X. Nichols and Charles H.
Starke appearing 'for. defendant.
The charge Of the government is that
D. Wetzstein failed to establish and
maintain residence upon the land His
final communication proof was offered on
July 80. 1909. He established residence
on the claim on February 1s. 1908, where
he resided with his wife and three
younger children continuously up to the
time of Offering proof on July 30. 1909.
and has there resided since and up to
the present time. Two of Mr.. Wetz-
STEMS elder daughters and hired help
have resided all this time at home
one-f0urth mile distant on land other.
than the quarter in question. This the
government agent construes as main
tanning another home and not showing
good faith on the part of defendant.
The homestead quarter was fenced and
grazed instead Of being plowed and
cultivated in the usual way. While
it is held" that grazing land under
certain conditions answers for cultiva-
tion, in this case il is alleged that good
faith was not shown.
Mr.. Wetzstein thought that he was
doing all the government required and
is making a strong effort to establish
his right to the homestead.
Another land case which is attracting
much attention. is an action started
against large number of homesteaders
in the locality Of Richardton. principally
Young priests, who are or have been
connected with the Monastery at that
place.
Special Agent L. X. Deliar is conduct
ing the prosecutions which are being
heard at the Dickinson U. S. land office
and are expected to last until the 25th
of the month.
There are some Is or 30 homestead
cases which are held in question. In
all cases. as far as known, the residence
was good, the young men living faith
fully on their land, but the government
maintains that the homesteads were
eventually to be transferred TO the
Monastery.
In the field division service these con-
tests are known as monastery cases.
The question involved is this: Ibid
the young priests take the homesleads
solely for their own benefit If so
their position is good and the govern
ment cannot cancel their entries. On
the other hand, il it can be proven that
these student priests were getting the
land in wholesale manner, as con-
tended by the special agent. for the
Monastery, the government will hold all
such entries for cancellation.
Many of the proofs were made several
years ago and there is no record show
ing that even one Of these homesteads
was ever transferred to the Monastery.
Hence. the general supposition has been
that the young men were merely making
the most of their opportunities. acting
upon good advice and getting 100 acres
each of Uncle Sans land. Such frugal
