FIRE DESTROYS PROMPTON
HOME

The large home of Frank Bodie
was destroyed by fire at Prompton
on Saturday morning, burning most
of the contents. Mr.. Bodie and wife
were in Honesdale when their home
caught fire and were reached by
phone. They were taken to Promp-
ton by auto. A new fire was built
in their stove in the morning and it
is presumed that the confiagration
started from a spark. AS far as Mr..
Bodie knows everything was appar-
emily in a safe condition when he
left the place.
General Bodie, who lives near his
fathers home, rushed to the burn
ing building. He broke in the front
door. Fire was leaping up the
stairway between the first and sec
ond floors. Very little of the con
! tents were removed. The barn
which is almost new, was saved by
hard work on the part of the neigh
bors.
Mr.. Bodie carried $3.50 insurance
upon his home. Mrs. Bodie haC
$400 insurance on the furniture.
The building was known as tn,
Scudder property. Mr.. Bodie ha
been in possession of the place TO
about year.

SEEDING IS now

Down Through Red River VAL
ley Over 90 Per Cent Of
Crop is Planted
ESPECIAL to the Trihune)

FARGO, ND. April 26.-Ninety per-
cen of the wheat is seeded in Cass,
Trail, Richland, Barnes, Ransom, La
Moure, Sargent Dickey Steele and Nc
Intosh counties in this state. In the
central counties and in the north end
Of the Red River valley the percent.
age of seeded wheat average is about
rs, while in others it is only 60 and in
one or two rather backward counties
the amount Of wheat seeded may be
only about 30 per cent. There were
some localities in which the thresh.
ing could not be completed last fall.
These are badly behind on the seed
ing. In others the small amount of
fall blowing was the cause Of tardy
work . =
In this vicinity practically all the
farmers have; their seed wheat in and
many have their oats seeded. The
farmers who have completed their
wheat seeding are now blowing for
corn, potatoes and for barley. In a
few instances some have seeded bar
ley, but it is regarded as too early for
that. Most farmers prefer to wait
until May for that crop.
There was a considerable winter
wheat and winter rye acreage in this
part Of the valley, which made the
amount of seeding to be done this
spring slightly less than in other To-
calities. In this and other southern
counties so much fall blowing was
done the farmers wereI not handi-
capped as they were in other sections
of the state.
A great deal of moisture fell over
the state during the past week, but
while it slightly delayed work, it in
no way discouraged the farmers who
are pleased to have the ground soaked
after seeding or to have the moisture
this time Of the year in any form.
There was a trace Of snow Friday in
some parts of the state, but it was so
slight no %appreciable delay was caus

SERIOUSLY ILL,

Mrs. ]. E. Thompson, living near
Wilton, was brought to the Bismarck
hospital Friday evening, where she
underwent a serious operation. Last
evening she was resting fairly well.
Supt. Ccott Derrick, of the 500 Line,
certainly deserves much credit for
the consideration shown Mrs. Thomp'
son, in transporting her to this city.
The passenger train from the north
had passed, but was followed by a
light freight. Mr.. Derrick gave or
ders for the train to stop nea the
Thompson home this side of Wilton,
and take the lady on. This was done
and was the means of saving the
lady's life, as she could not have been
conveyed here by any other method
and lived.

A Change Wanted

That sympathy was somewhat blunted when the allies began a war of butchery among themselves but things moved eXpeditiously that felt similar to that with which rapidly moving figures the of a picture show.

 The demand for primaries the that the conventions did not present proper cand- dates to the people, and that, with all their oppor- tunities for learning of the fitness candidates the delegates chose them an utter disregard of their fitness, at the behest of bosses.

LIBERTY ANOTHER NAME FOR EQUALITY

Almost a hundred years ago of the friend Hest of our foreign critics said us: "Iiberty is not the chief and constant object their desires Equality is their idol. They make rapid and sud den efforts to obtain liberty, they miss their aim. resign themselves their disappointment but nothing satisfy them without equality and they would rather perish than lose
 Goethe said that good manners could come only with equality. The two statements taken together give the very essence of the American attitude We treat each other equals-and this accounts at for the lack of difference in public servants of which foreigners complain, and their profound friendliness which foreigners seem able to comprehend. The conductor on the railway" an observing American written, will not touch his hat to but then he does not expect a fee from you. The workman in the street of whom you ask a question will answer you equal, but he will tell what you know Now there are many people who cannot stomach such independ- ence, who can enjoy nothing but acknowledged supe- rority. They want to be delight-so- cally speabng-in playing with loaded dice. They expect their friends to show than they do, they wish their sorrier to leave than they to have them and they believe one of the duties of those who serve them in any capacity is to esteem that service privilege.
 Such people are happiest in England. where any belonging apparently the upper classes is certainly supremely well taken care of Such peo- pie do realize that there is something terribly precarious in being well treated only because one is supposed to be aristOcrat, and that only good and plenty loose change float them over an abyss of insolence deeper by far than their own countrymen threaten at their worst.
