THE FARM HELP PROBLEM.

That seems to be a perfectly
feasible solution Of the farm help
problem, which was suggested to the
Kenmare Commercial club and Is to
be considered by a joint meeting OF
the club and the farmers Of that
vicinity next Saturday.
The suggestion is to get in touch
with those out OF work in the cities,
through the charitable organizations
and to take them out to the farms.
where they would be offered homes
with an acre or two Of ground free of
charge. In return for these homes
they would solve the farmers help
problem.
There are thousands Of honest, hard
working men in the big cities, with
large families to support, living in
rented homes and because Of the high
cost Of living, forced to live from
hand to mouth" Undoubtedly there
are many of these who would be de-
lighted with the chance Of getting
out into the country with a home rent
1tSeI CnhuCS lot d SdLuSu OIL LHelE OWN,
and employment enough to support
their family even better than in the
city.
There would be other benhts. The
country life would be healthier for the
entire family than the cooped up city
life. The surroundings would be bet
ter in which to rear a family. The
school advantages would be as good
or better in most instances. On the
other hand not only would the farmer
have more dependable help thar the
transient laborer he now has to put
up with, but in the busy times the
farmers wife could probably get as
sistance from the family Of the farm
er's helper.
Here is a way for those interested
in the 'back-to -the-farm' movement
to do practical work. 1t is simply a
matter Of cooperation between the
worried charity workers in the city
and the worried farmers in the coun-
try. The idea is big with possibilities
and should be taken up, not alone at
Kenmare but in all the cities of the
state.

Quoted by Mrs. Jean McNaughton

reminiscence of pioneer days in Nortl
Dakota: .
The letter which follows will be en-
joyed by all the readers Of this
column. Many will remember Wal
Taylor and his beautiful young wife
whom he brought as a bride to Town
er. The editor of this column met him
in 81 when the Ketzman's now of
Willow City, were running the North
ern hotel, now the Merchants, in the
hands Of Mr.. and Mrs. Elfert,
There were four business men who
occupied a table by the south window.
and they gave it up during the insti-
tute week to the school ma'ams from
Ward county, Misses Webber, Strong,
Hopper and McNaughton. The lads
lined up by the parlor organ which
Rube Bennett played, and w. C. Tay-
lor played the violin, and ever since
then delightful music has echoed in
our ears. So
Mr.. w. c. Taylor went from Town
or to LaMoure where he edited The
Chronicle ably until he was elected
and reelected commissioner Of insur-
ance.

Upon her hand so small and white
He very gently laid his own:
She drew it back as if in fright
And Whispered in a trembling tone:

He sat a little nearer still,
Whereat she moved her chair away
He gazed down into her ayes until
He heard her rather feebly say:
You mustn't"
He bent above her where she sat
And softly stroked her silken hair;
She seemed SO agitated that
She could but family still declare:
You mustn't"
Around her waist he slipped an arm
And drew her closely to his side;
She seemed possessed of wild alarm,
And in imploring accents cried:
You mustn't"

That fate had put within his reach,
He claimed a sweet and fervent kiss,
But did she then in horror sCreech:
You mustn't"
She didn't.

SEARCHING FOR TREASURE.

Hidden beneath the soil and in
caves there are many fortunes in coin,
plate and jewels, in search of which
large sums have been spent. Among
the reputed stores of buried gold Is
one on Cocos Island, from the search
for which an expedition led by an
English woman has just returned
empty-handed.
The legend is hat a pirate named
Benito Bonito operating along the
the last century emulated Sir Francis
Drake in 'singeing the beard of the
king of SPAIN" and the sums of money
he secured he buried on Cocos Island.
To find this wealth again the pirate
drew maps, on which a skull and cross
bones represented the spot. The island
Is $50 miles southwest Of Panama. The
expedition led by the Englishwoman
left last September in a vessel armed
with q cannon with which to repel the
natives.
Though the party could not dig up
the treasure with the aid of the map
which they purchased from the heirs
Of Bonito, it appears hat the shifty
money by selling other maps Of the
location. A French woman has bought
a map and proposes to visit Cocos
Island. Her map has the skull and
cross bones, and also tells the number
of PAGES from a certain palm tree. A
British Columbia man has also pur-
chased a map from the heirs, it has
developed, with frills that the others
lack.
There is something fascinating
about the hunt for hidden gold. Many
communities have legends of a miser's
secreting of wealth, and acres and
acres of land have been upturned in
vain efforts to find a treasure trove.
1t is doubtless true that many fortunes
have in ancient and modern times
been hidden on islands of the sea.
One distinctive branch of fiction deals
with such things and finds a ready
sale among the younger generation
especially.
Buccaneers who sailed the seas in
the days when piracy was a less
hazardous occupation than at present
were Indifferent t~opographers, so that
the locating of the spot where the
valuables were hidden in later years
was a difficult. if not impossible, task.
If any considerable treasure has been
dug up in recent years, the finders
have not made any loud disturbance
over the matter. AS in the case of
Bonito, pirate, those profting most by
such searches are usually the map SELL
ers.

JEWISH M IN N. o.

The annual report of 1912 of the
Jewish Agricultural and Industrial
Aid society of New York contains
some interesting information which
will probably be surprising to a great
many persons. 1t shows that Jewish
farmers are fast becoming an import
ant part n factor in the agricultural
life of this country.
One Of the most surprising features
is that North Dakota stands fourth
in the number of Jewish farmers with
in it's borders. There are many
colonies of Jews in the western part
OF the state, one big settlement being
near Wing in Burleigh county.
According to the figures of the re-
port there are about 1900 Jewish
farming families. with an aggregate
of about $4,000 souls, in the United
States. The society has been estab-
lished to promote farming among
! Jews and to give financial assistance
to Jewish families who wish to be-
come farmers. During the past year
h society made loans a~ggregating
J $1.4s4,437 to 1886 farmers occupying
1886 farms. The loans were dis
tributed over twenty-eight states of
the union and several Canadian
. provinces.
The largest number Of Jewish farm
ers with whom the society has had
dealing live in New Jersey. Connect
cut comes next in numbers, then New
York and then North Dakota. The
society has also supplied Jewish farm
laborers to many farmers in various
parts of the country and the men sup
piled are reported to have given good
satisfaction.
