NAPOLEON IS
THRIFTY TOWN

Napoleon, N. D., Sept. 4-People
living in that section of the country
tributary to the 500 line running south
out Of Bismarck need not feel dis
couraged over the result Of their eff
forts this year. For nearly TIVE weeks
threshing machines through this sec
ton have been turning out as fine a
quality of grain as has ever been rails
led in this part of the state.
While the yield his year may be
some less than that Of last year there
is an increase in the acreage, and as
the grain is Of an exceptional quality
it will nearly all grade Nc. 1 hard and
will bring the highest price when
placed on the market. There was a
good crop in this. section last year,
and everyone has been in good inan-
cial circumstances throughout the
past year, and the farmers are about
to add another abundant yield Of grain
to the market and everyone through
here Is well satisfied with the outlook.
In the vicinity Of Braddock the
threshing of grain was we'll advanced
and The wheat crop in that vicinity
will yield nc less than fifteen bushels
to the acre. There has been plenty of
help, and no rains to interfere with.
the farmers progress, and as a conse-
quence the grain Is being put away
rapidly. A. larger amount of fall ploW-
ing than usual will be possible this
year.
Around Motif there are signs of
prosperity among the people. Several
new buildings are going up there and
the farmers have good crops. There
under the direction Of Supt. S. W.
Derrick Of the 500 line, and the peo-
pie Of that little place are acquiring
more c~onveniences every year.. This
little place, did over $40, 900 worth Of
business last year. There are flocks
of ducks in the numerous lakes down
this line Of the 500 and chances are
that the numerous ninrods at Bis
marck who are planning on spending
several days outing at Long lake when
the hunting season opens will not be-
disappointed.
Practically 1000, 900 bushels Of wheat
were marketed at Napoleon last year.
Fhreshing is we'll advanced in this
section. Fifty per cent of the grain
was cut with heading machines and
stacked, but the farmers are finishing
their threshing as rapidly as the ma
chimes can get to the grain. There
are four elevators at Napoleon and
this year, wit hthe two new ones that
have been built up the line this year,
there will be no trouble in caring for
the large amount OF grain produced
here.
Napoleon does not exceed in popula-
ton the 400 mark, u every line of
business is represented here, and all
the business me- seem to be prosper
ing in their undertakings. Long be-
fore the railroads intersected this sec
ton the country was settled by a class
of fearless and thrifty people. who
were persistent in their efforts to es-
tablish permanent homes and deyel-
op the country, and as a result there
can be found rich farmers on all sides
of Napoleon throughout Logan coun-
ty. Substantial farm homes and build
Iings can be seen everywhere.

News Of the Northwest
NORTH DAKOTANS
COMING BACK
FROM CANADA

Harvey. ". D., Sept. 4.-"Back to
that dear North Dakota" appears to
be the slogan of a number of former
flickertail residents who have been
spending a number of years in the
Canadian northwest. There is scarce
ly a paper in the state that has not
recorded the return of some one in
it's vicinity who has returned to this
field. The county has welcomed back
a number of former residents, some
Of whom are seeking to buy back the
same homes they originally sold.
One of the latest to return to this
locality is Andrew Hoegel, who re-
moved from here to .Lethbridge,
Canada, four years ago. His expert
ences were not of the nature to make
him an enthusiast over that country.
He reports at least a dozen other
former North Dakotans who are tired
of that section. u .r
The returning Dakotans say that
conditions are overdone in Canada,
that the country is all right in many
respects but is now undergoing a re-
action that will require a number of
years to be overcome.

name LAW
PROVING POPULAR

La Moure. N. D., Sept. 4.-The law
which became effective July 1, permit
ting owners of farms to register their
names with the register of deeds for
81, is proving popular. The man who
first files a RECORD of a name has a
monopoly on that particular anne in
that county. No subsequent person
can use it without his consent. Farm
ers in other counties can use the same
name.
The advantage Of having the name
registered is that it gives the owner a
fixed name. for his farm that he can
use on his letter heads and for those
who specialize in stock of any kind or
butter, or any form of produce the
name is a kind of a trademark.

CURRENT COMMENT
Town Rule in Vermont.

The New York Sunday Herald in its
latest issue featured the town of Balti-
more, VT, calling it the ofliceholders'
paradise. All but one of twelve voters
of the town hold at least three offices,
it is claimed, and some quiet fun is had
at the expense of the community. 1t
simply tends to call attention to the fact
that Vermont has many small towns,
where the number of voters is very
small, but which have as much to say in
the government of the state as the larP-
est communities. Few people stop TO
realize that out of the 246 cities and
towns in Vermont the majority is com
posed of small places, each with its rep
resentatiye in the general assembly,
where the laws for the state are adopted,
There are no fewer than 70 towns in
Vermont where less than 100 votes were
cast in the gubernatorial campaign OF
1910 OF this 10, Is towns cast less than 80
votes, two less than 20, and an equal
number less than TO- The town of Som
erset in the county of Windham cast
Just Ave votes. This is town rule in
Vermont. This is the archaic system
that prevails. The people don't count.
Land divisions rule. How long will the
people subject themselves to it? How
can a Nermonter hear that mueh-used
phrase, LET the people rule" without
blushing, when he thinks of his own sys-
tenn of goyernment!-S Adams Mes

LABELLING THE LOBBYISTS.

At the recent session of the New
Hampshire legislature, the sum of $780,
coo was paid for lobbying" agents, re-
vealing how many agencies are being
brought to bear on legislators in a com
paratively small state. This amount
was paid to lobbyists for both public
and private purposes and, presumably, it
covered what would be called both good
and bad legislation. New Hampshire's
law regarding the revelation of amounts
paid for legislative services to these
agents has a tendency to reduce the par
ticipaton for the so-called bad purposes
and II is a law to be copied or used as
a model by every other state in the
Union. If Vermont had such law, we
should know whom the lobbyists repre-
sented at Montpelier and, of lesser mo-
ment, we should know how much those
Lobbyists were paid for appearance at
the State House there. Such a law
would force the hidden influences out
into the open, and it would enable the
public to know what interests stand
back Of particular measures. The lat
ter information is coming to be more
and more desirable in Vermont as the
outside influences are increasing in num-
Der and possibly in power.

aBooMINGe BUSINESS.
- a New Hampshire exchange:

Says New Hampshire exchange:
early this spring the granite indus
try in Milford opened with rush and
held on until Memorial day After that
it Stacked, as is pormal, but few days
later the orders commenced to pour IN
and to-day every firm has all it can do
and more. Reports from Quincy, Barre,
Concord and other granite producing cen
tiers are that there is no unusual amount
of work and the men here who follow
the trade see the beginning of great
boom for Milford granite"
You may be right as regards the gran
tie business in Milford being good for
this season of the year; and. to tell the
truth, you are right about the business
in Barre. There is no unusual amount
of work" in Barre at the present time;
rather there is just the usual amount
of work which keeps the manufacturers
busy and calling for more workmen all
the time. Barre has few ups and downs
in the granite business except when a
strike or lockout comes along, and at
the present time the Barre granite IN
dustry is enjoying its usual prosperity,
there being probably the largest enroll
ment on the books of the granite cut
ters' union ever known, the single union
having nearly 1000 men on its books.
On top of that is the fact that few
good workmen are looking for jobs and
incoming cutters are being snapped up
as soon as they apply for positions. In
view of those facts, it is idle for any
other granite eenters to compare their
own reported flush times with alleged
mediocre times in Barre, for there is no
chance for the comparison as Barre is
steadily busy. At the same time, Barre
is pleased to know that Milford is pick
ing up some business.

At the latest estimate, which was last
year, Vermont had 5l2 hotels with a
total capacity of 9,l94 persons, which is
less than half the number that a
state Of Vermont's possibilities should
have. New Hampshire has more than
double Vermont's hotels and with ca
pacity six times greater; and the hotels
do a tremendous business during the
summer months. In fact, so much sum
mer visitor business is coming into New
England that the section will not be
able to accommodate the guests unless
q backward state like Vermont realizes
the need and begins to construct bigger
and better hotels. Mountain resorts
never win lose their charm for city pco-
pie, and hotels built in the mountains
of Vermont win find plenty of business
when well advertised.
