A Dickey County Investor.

DR.. j. H. Greene and son, Joel, came
in Saturday from their Wright town
ship farm to make arrangements for a
big auction sale Of Percheron horses,
Jersey cattle and Berkshire hogs to
be held on his premises on Wednesday,
October 11th. The doctor and his wife
and son are on the ranch this year.
The son, James, had been running the
place since the doctor came in possess
sion ,of-it, but last year James had the
offer Of position as principal of the high
school at Garrett, Illinois, and it being
rather more in his line than farming
and more congeniel to his wife; whes'is
graduate of the Chicago University,
he took the place. That left the Greene
farm in Wright to the care of a renter,
and being unsatisfactory, the doctor
thought he would come up himself and
look after the place. He has leased it
for next year and will dispose Of his
stock and farm machinery.
The doctor and his family have a fine
home in Dubuque, Iowa; where the
doctor practical medicine for many
years. He came to North Dakota in
1893, and became imbued with the idea
then that North Dakota was all right.
He had so much faith in the future Of
the country that he purchased three
farms section and a half south,
half section north and three quarters
northeast of Fullerton. The latter
place is where he, now resides. He
lis booster for. Dickey county, and
to hear him talk, even in a year when
crops will not come up to the average,
does any old timer world Of good.
Mrs. Greene and Mrs. 7. f. Marshall
are cousins and the doctor says many a
good time he has had with Mr.. Marshall
in the hunting season. The doctor is
a genial old soul, and The Times man
was glad to make his acquaintance.

Fishers Break in Kansas.

Secretary Fisher came to Washing
ton with the reputation of being an
astute wire puller, refined dialecti-
clan, a controversialist skilled in making
the lesser appear the greater season,
His former political associates in llli-
nois are active in the revolt in that
state against Lovimer and Speaker
Cannon, who is the best'known of the
presidents supporters in Illinois. Sec
retary Fisher has parted company with
them. and has gone over, bag and bag

ported that he is not in sympathy with
the movement for direct legislation in
that state or for presidential prefer
ence primaries anywhere. MIR. Fisher
is more often spoken of as Taft cam

Altogether progressive republicans
have some reason to be grateful to
Secretary Fisher. He has served to
make little clearer the already clear
ing issues. The progressive leaders
feel that the more the people consider
the. records of the administration and
of the progressive republicans in Wash
ington, the more keen will be the gen
eral appreciation of the fact that the
constructive work has been done by
the progressives and that it is they who
have a really constructive program
with regard to railroads, trusts and the
development of the natural resources
