he was formerly employed in one of
the banks which was destroyed in
the recent fire and states that Zee

Mrs. F. j. Pietz and their guests,
Mr.. and Mrs. Earle Smith, narrowly

Wednesday night of last week
Manager Turner showed picture
at the moving-picture show which,
in addition to providing pleasing
entertainment. was particularly in
structive as we'll. 1t had to deal
with hypnotism and had been acted
by most consummate artists. There
was not as large crowd as usual at
the show that evening, and hence
number of the regular patrons m. ssed
this exceptionally good number.
Mr.. and Mrs. Vim. B. Donohue
who formerly lived on the Captain
Flick Farm" a few miles from Lin
ton, and who left four years ago Cor
Fresno. CAL, where they have since
resided, returned to Linton last
Tuesday and expect to again make
their homes in Emmons county.
They say that they prefer North Da-
kota to California. Mrs. A. Il.
Moore of Linton is a daughter of
Mrs. Donohue. Mrs. DIS. son, David,
and daughter, Mrs. John McAfee, re-
side at Shields, this state.
II. L.. Reade. of Bismarck, assist
ant fire marshal for North Dakota,
was in Linton Tuesday on his way
home from ICELAND. where he had
been to investigate the serious fire
losses of last week. Mr.. Reade
favored the Record with pleasant
visit while here and informed us that
our village fire department was not
getting its dues. He is of the opin-
ion that some 5000 per year can be
secured from the state if the proper
organization steps are taken, and be-
lieves it is up to the village officials
co see that we get it.
Many gardens in Linton have been
totally destroyed by visitation of
cut-worms. Comrade WAGNER in
forms us that he was over at the
Hageman place, and Mrs. II. had
just gathered in a gallon or more of
the worms, and what had been cap
tured were "only drop in the buck
et' in the Hageman garden. Some
gardens have escaped entirely. The
worms come about month late
this season. Some believe tina. the
late spring caused these pestiferous
crawlers to hatch later than usual,
while others insist that they are of
different variety from the pest that
usually visits us. 1t is a good thing
for corn and flax that the worms
come late.
The party of Linton folks who went
to Aberdeen Thursday by automobile
to take in the Rarnum & Bailey CIR
Gus have arrived home after a sue

lander and his party returned by
