in their contour lines" Through

Then every point that is either

Battle of ClOntarf -.
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

IT HE victory won eight hun

ago by Brian Boru and
his Irishmen over the Danes at
Clontarf, was prominently deci-
sive.
AS early as the year 1876, the
terrible men from the North (the
Scandinavian region was known
as Sweden. Norway and Den
mark began to make trouble for
the people Of the British Isles.
During the first half Of the ninth
century their attacks were in
cessant upon nearly every part
Of the Irish coast, and life in the
Land of the Shamrock became
a living hell" Nowhere was life
or property safe, for leaving their
boats on the coast the Viking
robbers and murderers would Of
ten penetrate far into the inte-
rior Of the country, leaving be-
hind them a trail of devastation
and death
In the course Of time perma-
nent settlements were made by
the invaders: little Kingships
were established here and there;
intermarriage with the natives
took place; political alliances
were entered into between the
invaders and the invaded; in
word. it was the most mixed-up
situation that one could well con-
Ceive.
There were Kings Of Dublin.
Kings Of Meth, Kings Of Nuns
ter Kings Of Leinster. Over

all mixed up in a perpetual fight
for nobody knew Just what, prob
ably just for the love Of it.
But, fortunately. up out of the
chaos arose the great man who
was to bring peace to Ireland.
His name was Brian Boru. Brian
gathered to himself an army Of
his countrymen who thought
more Of their country than they
did Of Office under the foreigners.
and commenced operations. In
a little while he found himself
King e 5sSRster. in a little while
again, King OF Mugs Half OF
Ireland. and by and by, with the
submission Of Malachy, he be-
came Over-King. giving the
people, we are told, a just and
restful rule.
But in Brian's old age a con-

him between the Danes and GER

LTLANTA SHOULD HAVE A "HAIF- MILLION" CLUB!

This club should tell all the rest of the
world that in Atlanta the tide of industry never
waivers, and that great reward always waits ~
upon honest industry; that the splendid Gate e
City of the South beckons all to come and share
in the wonderful prosperity and progress now
going on.
1t seems to The Georgian that there should -
be union of all organizations for the purpose x
of disseminating truthful information about the
advantages of this city. This work of exploita-
ton should be done Systematically and with
diligence.
Every person in Atlanta should be a mem q
Der of this club, and each permanent resident
here should send to ten different persons through
out the United States personal letters containing
some definite and truthful facts, or arguments, =
that would impress reel pients with the advan- q
tages of Atanta---with facts calculated to make
the undecided join us residents here.

this matter seriously, to write to this newspaper =

However the actual Facts, regarding
the ownership of North Dakota farms,
show that this state compares favor.
ably with other states In this regard.
The bulletin states: ~
"In 1910, SO per cent Of all land in
farms was in farms operated by their
owners (including part owners,) IL
per cent in farms operated by man.
ayers and 1873 per cent in farms
opeated by tenants. - .s.seg
This is splendid showing but the
bulletin further states:
"The percentage for owners and for
managers was lower and for tenants
higher than in 190O." Which means
that as the state grows older, the per.
centage of tenants on farms will IN.
crease.
There is lesson which the state
should take to heart in this. A
systematic and persistent effort
should be made to got actual tillers
of the soil as owners of the land while
the site is young and before ana
values increase until it is; big task
to attempt to pay for farm. North
Dakota holds out splendid induce

still cheap, bus the state already has

facilities are growing better with each

In common with most Democratic
