There can be no compromise DO
tween the Republican party and the
Progressive party-and there will be
none.
A compromise indicates yielding
a giving up OF some contention, BY
the parties to the compromise.
This Is possible and wise when the
differences revolve around details or
the best methods to gain common
end. But it is not possible when the
differences concern not the means Dut
the end itself-the principle IN
volved.
He who win not compromise re-
garding details Is q foolish egotist;
he who will compromise regarding
principles Is a scoundrel.

teacher, Miss Wehe, who m from
| Minnesota.
The S. G. Erickson threshing outfit
has closed down this season in the Now
bray neighborhood, but found condi-
lions no better than at home.
The youngest daughter of Mr., and
Mrs. David Patterson was threatened
with quite a serious illness during the
week but is now getting better.
F.P. Schutt has been getting along
quite nicely this fall with his summer
following. "Better late than never"
Frank, but "better never late"
w. +. Winter and c.. E. Johnston
were out through this neighborbood a
few days OF last week in Robert Allison's
car looking after farming interests they
have in this section.
Justice Of the Peace George Coyle is
spending the threshing season at home
this fall and finds he has plenty to do
around here without going away to look
for work as he has done other years.
Threshing and blowing has generally
been brought to a standstill since the
snowfall of a week ago and the generally
accepted idea is that winter has set in
"for keeps" The amount of fall Flowing
all over the county is smaller than has
ever been known before. Last year was
bad enough, but this year with the
ground frozen since October 25th and
nearly half of the crop still standing in
the shock, the condition is one that
makes those unfortunate farmers who
still have the result of the years work
standing in the field, wonder where they
are getting off at.
Albert Radford, Will Smith, S. G.
Erickson and a few others are fortunate
in having good large strips of blowing
done, but in all directions the stubble
and shocks capped with snow are the
sight more generally seen. The thresh-
ing rigs of Peter Olson and his brother,
Otto Olson, have been making the best
possible record in the uneven run oc-
casioned by broken weather conditions
and have been able to run about half
the time since they started out to when
they pulled in. They still hope for
weather that will enable them to start
up again. These machines have been
doing the best they could to give their
neighbors a good square deal in the
weight and measure of graln they thresh-
ed, the separator men being G. W.. Nc
Bride and L. r. Skilldom.
