This will. Of course. react on the

with tariff wages, prevailed. Sup

the free-trade plant unless the form

Of high wages and high prices that
has prevailed for more than half q
century will not be bettered, or
equalied, by the new Democratic
free-trade system of low wages and
low prices.

The State Expo sition !.

October 10th promises to be q big
day in Bismarck. The day will be
known as Eks' Day at the EXPOSE
ton, and the Linton Boys Band has
been hired by the Bismarck Elks to
furnish the music for them on that
date. sElks' lodges from practically
every town in the state will be there
in force, and many of them will
have their own bands along. A big
program of5entertainment has been
arranged for every one, and both
ladies and gentlemenw will be proper
~ entertained while there.
A special train from Linton to
Bismarck is being arranged for, to
leaveshere at an early hour and re-
turn late the same night. to accom-
modate the large number of En-
mons county people who will want
to put in one day at the Exposition,
and who will take advantage Of
Elks' day to goat the time our band
will be there.
Railroad companies have the
matter under adsisement OF allow

ttion to and from Bismarck, and such
a fare may apply on October 10th.
However. the Record will give more
definite information on that matter

ton. The original House bill was
considerably amended in the Senate
and some changes are being made by
the joint conference committees.
Every change. however, trends in
the direction Of putting ON the free
list everything the western and
northwestern farmer raises. In this
connection we call attention to what
has been taking place recently in
the matter Of foreign shipments of
beef to the limited States. Probably
no advance in the products of the
farms has been greater help to
the farmers of the sections above
named than the increased prices
for meats that have prevailed dur
ing few years past. There were
many years--as the early settlers of
this region remember to their sor-
row-when cattle and sheep were
hardly worth sending to market.
With the markets Of America open
to the cheapIy raised meats of
Australia, Argentina and other
countries. is there not good reason
to predict that the prices of Ameri-
can meats will soon again touch a
much lower level than at present?
Even with the tariff in existence,
between two and three million
pounds Of fresh beef from Argen.
tina and Australia have entered
ports of the United States during
the last three months, indicating
that the imports of beef into this
country during the fiscal year viii
amount to more than eight million
pounds Prior to 1919 the impor.
tation of fresh beef averaged abou,
a third Of a million pounds pei
annum. In 1912, however, Their,
was sharp increase. the total fo1
that year being q little over q
million pounds. while in 1913 tn,
imports were more than four millio,
pounds. And now it is announced
that many refriRerstor-ships are be
ing built for the purpose of bring
ing meats to this country after the
tariff on beef and cattle shall hav
heen removed. Will the possible
ability to buy 4 binder or othe
piece of farm machinery few dol
lars cheaper. or wearing apparel
trifle less.-articles that are bough
only at long periods by most farm
ers-compensate that class for lowe
prices for the farm products tina
constitute practically tleir entir
yearly income?

To-day. in Linton, the Emmons
County Fair opens and will con-
tinue over Thursday. Friday and
Saturday. 1t is not claimed that
the function will be as elaborate as
it is in the more populous counties
of the older states; but that it is
entertaining and instructive in a
large degree we believe will he the
verdict of those who attend. The
counties ut North Dakota--par-
ticularIy those Of this part of the
state-are comparatively new. 1t is
an old saying that "one-haif Of the
world doesn't know how the other
half lives" This saying may be
truthfully paraphiased by saying
that "one-half of the county doesn' t
know how the other half farms"
Emmons is large county. extending
over an area forty-eight miles from
north to south and with the excep-
ton of the fractional townships on
the west cut into by the Missouri
river) thirty-six miles from east to
west. Even old-tihers who reside in
districts of the county far apart arc
almost total strangers to one
another. This being so. q world Of

To Our Patrons.

The proprietors of the Emmons
County Record have been compelled
to make new rule in handling the
taken up" notices and auction
bills. Owing to the fact that those
who bring US these classes of bust.
ness are usually from out Of town
and do not have a regular running
account with US, it is a very hard
matter sometimes to collect for the
work. Taken-up notices are many
times hard to collect for owing to
the fact that the owner secures his
property and the man who took up
the property failed to allow for the
printer fee. The man who has his
stock didn't advertise them and
often refuses to pay or ignores our
requests. The man who took up the
ssock-and who is legally bound to
nay for same-does not like to put
up the money out of his own pocket.
If it is paid for at the time Of pub
LEGATION, the collecting of the money
from the owner will he the better
remembered. In the auction. ill
matter some of the holders of
auctions are preparing to move
away. When their sale is over they
either neglect to pay the printer OF
purposeIy avoid him, and the bill ia
practically no good after the man
has gone. In several instances We
have lost our pay for these classes
of work this year. In fact. every
year is more or less the same story
So please remember. in future, cash
at time of placing the order is the
only plan under which we vii
accept taken-up notices or order.

AS an illustration of the interest
that is being taken throughout the
state in the Third Industrial Expo
sition of North Dakota,t to be held in
Bismarck between the dates Of Oc-
tober 7th and October 10th, is the
action of the people Of the town of
LaMoure, who have raised funds to
pay the expenses Of their band to
and from the Exposition. believing
that the advertisement Of their town
and county justifies the expense. In
this connection we will say that the
Linton Band has been employed to
furnish music on Elks' Day. Friday,
the 10th of October. There will also
be special train on that date,
leaving Linton early in the morning
and Bismack late in the evening. As
our band does not obtain princely
sum for their services, and is show
ing much public spirit in the matter
by making the trip partially at their
own expense, it is-to be hoped that
large number Of people will show
the same public spirit by taking ad-
vantage Of the opportunity to visit
the Exposition and return home the
same day. 1t is hard to overesti-
mate the large amount Of good that
is beng done to the agricultural in
terests of North Dakota by these
state expositions.

THE GROCER s DREAM.

Last evening l was talking
With a grocer aged and gray,
Who told me Of dream he had,
i think twas Christmas day.
While snOozing in his Office,
The vision came to view,
For he saw an Angel enter,
Dressed in garments white and new.
Said the Angel, "I'm from Heaven,
The Lord just sent me down
To bring you up to Glory
And put on your golden crown.
You We been a friend to everyone,
And worked hard night and day;
You've supported many thousands,
And from a few received your pay.
So we want you up in Glory,
For you have labored hard,
And the good Lord is preparing
Your eternal, just reward. F"
Then the Angel and the grocer
Started upward toward Glory s Gate
But when passing close to hades,
The Angel murmured "Waitl !"
I've a place to show you
It's the hottest place in hell
Where the ones who never paid you
In torment always dwell"
And, behold, the grocer saw there
His old customers by the score,
And grabbing up a chair and fan,
He wished for nothing more;
But was bound to sit and watch them
As they sizzled, singed and burned,
And his eyes would rest on debtors,
Whichever way they'd turn.
Said the Angel, "Come on grocer,
There's the Pearly Gates 10 see." +"
But the grocer only murmured,
"This Is Heaven enough for me-"
