three loads of cattle and u few hogs.
They returned home last evening.
John Arnes is putting up build
ing on the corner of Cook avenue
and Center street in which he will
open up a blacksmith shop. The
site is good one for the purpose as
it is centrally located and handy for
farmers who require that line of
work done.
A large and lively crowd of young
people from Hazslton and the sur.
rounding community attended the
dance at Gat,s' hall last Saturday
evening and the usual enjoyable
time that has made the hall popu-
lar amusement resort was enjoyed
by all.
All farmers interested in the
forming of branch union here Of
the Farmers Educational and Co.
Cooperative Union of America are re-
quested to meet at Klabunde's hall
next Thursday evening, Nov. 9th, to

feet an organization.
This portion of Emmons county

who has come to town this week has
taken out quite a bunch of young
trees. Its a good idea. Push it
along.
Tuesday about one o'clock in the
afternoon the farm house on the

field of forty acres which has yielded
between sixty and seventy bushels

Fargo. Oct 28.-The hog cholera
epidemic has apparently spent it's
force in this state. Hundreds of
farmers have lost practically their
entire herds. In some instances
every pig died. while in others
a few remained. In this county
many farmers lost from 100 to 500
hogs. In Empire township. around
Absaraka. only two farmers had less
than fifty pigs and some several
hundred. The loss was 80 per cent.
Former Speaker Twichell had sever
al hundred and lost all but thirteen.
Despite the heavy losses the farmers
are not dismayed. Many Of them
are disinfecting their pens or re-
building and will secure another lot
of hogs and try it again. Hog rails
ing was naturally following the in
creased corn acreage and the COM
bination was working as certain
source of revenue. The spread of
the disease in this state is traced to
shipments of newly-purchased hogs
from states to the south and from
exhibiting hogs at fairs. A few
farmers had what are known as the
"mule-foot" hogs, without the split
iu the hoofs. This type, it is said.
withstood the disease much better
than other varities and as result
are greatly il, demand. Some
breeders are switching entirely to
that variety.

Mandan, Oct.2S.-Chattel mort
cages are being satisfied in Morton
county at an unprecedented rate and
it is generally attributed to the
diversified farming and especially to
dairying. During the past ten
months 1000 chattel mortgages were
satisfied and a large percentage Of
these during the last two or three
months. An Investigation showed
that many we're due to dairying.

Tribune: Children Of school age

the curfew ordinance will be strictly
enforced by the police department.
Any children under sixteen years Of
age found on the streets unattended

Fargo Forum; Max Blatchford,
son of Joseph Blatchford Of Ninth

pectedly from Mazatlan. Mexico. to-
day. Mr.. Blatchford has been two
months on the way, and his family
did not think that he had left San
Diego, CAL. where he was expected
to stop. He left Mazatlan as one of
$50 refugees on the United States
transport Buford. MANY Of the
refugees were in tears when they
left Mexico, J" said Mr.. Blatchford
today. Most of them left everything
in Mexico, and they were extremely
bitter against the United States
government. whose action they
blame for causing them to lose their
property. The Mexicans are be-
ginning to think the United States

the last they were very insolent and
overbearing toward the "gringoes," "
as they call Americans. We could
see hate in their eyes when they
passed US ON the Streets" "The
rebels around Mazatlan do not know
what they are fighting for. They
make the explanation that the re-
Ibellion always wins in Mexico. as
their reason for being on the side Of
the rebels. Those about Mazatlan
are followers of Carranza." Mr..
Blatchford told of some of the hor-
rors. He stated that one American
was killed, his head cut off and stuck
on post, and the rebels who did
the act. addressing the dead man
said. "What more must we do to
force America to fight" He told
of another American who was de-
liberately shot in the back, as he was
running from some Mexican rebels.
Secretary Cooper Of the Better
Farming association. says the Fargo
Forum, recently offered some advice
that contains deep lesson. He
urged the farmers who are thinking
of going into dairying and who are
moi thoroughly familiar with that
branch of agriculture to build up
their dairy herd by easy stages. In
other words togo slow. Pick out
good grade cattle, test them to prove
their worth, then from the pick of
the herd select the best for breeding
purposes. Get a thoroughbred sire.
and in a few years you will have a
splendid herd Of valuable cattle, and
with a little care they can be kept
continually improving in value.
This was the Rist of Mr.. Cooper's
advise, the common-sense quality of
which is characteristic of all the
work that has been done under his
direction. At the present time cat
tie of all kinds are scarce and high
priced. This is especially true of
thoroughbred cattle, so Mr.. Cooper
would have the farmer breed up
grade stock, which is within the
reach of any man, and while he is
improving his herd he will be learn
ing the dairy business thoroughly

Facts and Figures.

Last week there we're nearly a
hundred rural-school teachers Of the
county present in Linton at the an
nual teachers institute. In con-
nection with its story on the insti-
tute the Record commented upon
the fact that the expenses of such
institute have to be met entirely IN
the county superintendent's Office
not cent of appropriation is made
by the commissioners as in the case
of many counties in the state.
Nevertheless, the institute was a
very creditable affair and will have
far-reaching effects in securing a
uniform standard Of work in the
schools of the county.
Citizens of Emmons county have
reason to feel proud of the schools
of the county. During his several
terms in Office County Superin-
tendent Hanson has vigorously dis
charged the duties of his Office and
has not hestitated to make political
enemies. If necessary, in the dis
charge of such duties. He has
kept close watch on the schools of
every section of a rather large
county and a few figures from
the superintendent's annual report,
which the Record will give here,
will show at glance that it has
been no small job to properly care
for the duties of the office e-and Mr..
Hanson has had an extremely small
amount Of deputy hire in his office.
There are % schools in the county,
1872 schools being in session last
year. Since then that number has
been increased by the establishing
lof Z new schools. There are 119
school houses situated in the county
with seating capacity Of 3,173
pupils. There are 3,O52 children
between the ages nf 6 and 81 years
residing in the county and only 1913
