Raised Corn For
Over Thirty Years
It is not a New Product in This
State as Some Are Lead to
Believe

This state is not just becoming
a corn county but the people are
just beginning to realize how
successfully it can be raised. Geo
L. Robinson Of Garrison the old
est merchant and farmer in the
county, has been raising corn for
80 years and he has never had a
failure but one year and that was
in 1887 when the early frost caus-
ed the damage. L. A. Larson of
Wogansport, has also been raising
corn for 80 years and has only
had the one failure in the same
year as mentioned above. His
corn never goes less than 20
bushels to the acre. This year
he had l20 acres seeded in corn.
Last year when everyone had a
failure Mr.. Larson had wheat
that went 20 bushels to the acre
and his corn also yielded well.
A talk with either of these men
will convince you that this is
a corn state and has been for 3O
years.

entirely possible that as a re-
suit Of the personal dissatisfac-
ton of defeated candidate with
the outcome Of the primaries, my
action may be subjected to judi
cial review and a desision OBJ
tanned which will necessitate not
alone the expense Of a special
session but the additional expense
Of a special election as well.
But I am confident that the good
sense and patriotic citizenship Of
those gentlemen who may become
candidates for the nomination Of
United States Senator will ap-
prove of this action and that all
such will be pleased to submit
their claims directly to the vot-
ers Of the state according to the
method outlined which even if Of
questionable legality is at least
fair to all parties.
Yours respectfully,
Thomas Hall,
Secretary Of State.

NEW CANDIDATE FOR
CLERK OF COURT
Ruso, Dec. 8.
To the Editor Of the Washburn

RuSO, Dec. y.
To the Editor Of the Washburn
Leader:
I, as citizen and tax payer Of
Mclean county, wish to write a
few words in regard to Ole Lind
teigen for clerk of the district
court of this county. Who is
Ole Lindteigen? He is a Nor
wegian farmer boy who speaks
Norwegian, German and English
fluently. He has attended Aaker
school and is a fine penman. He
has served for the last three
years as assessor for the town
ship in which he resides. He has
assisted Judge Gibson at two Or
three different times in the coun-
ty judges office and has shown
himself eminently qualified to
fulfill his duties wherever placed,
He resides between Dogden and
Ruso. He is a young married
man Of about 26 years Of age
and comes from a part of the
county that deserves recogni-
ton at the hands Of thes voters
when it comes to question of
county offices.
We have read several items
Of proposed candidates put forth
by one George Weatherhead, in
the employ Of the Bismarck
Tribune and of course we all
know that Weatherhead is solici-
ting business for his paper and
must stand in with the county
officials in order to secure this
business, but we as taxpayers
want men in office who will at
tend to the business Of the Of
flee and not curry favor with
anyone.
From what we know Of Ole
Lindteigen he will attend to the
duties Of his office if elected, and
not call upon his friends to make
good any shortage in money
belonging to the county. Ole iG
all to the good Any one wish
ing to know more about him adj
dress any Of the business men
|of Turtle Lake, Dogden or Ruso.
Yours for Ole Lindteigen for
clerk of district court.

sHER1FF.'s RAID
CAUSED SENSATION

4 Darlington, N. D., Dec. s..
When the sheriff and deputies:
raided a pool hall at Glenfield
there was an unusual amount Of
excitement. For some time there
were reports Of gross violations
of the law both in the sale Of
liquor and in gambling. The
sheriff searched the place and as
q result the proprietor and six
Of the habitues Of the place Were.
taken into custody. The place has
since been closed for q year. The
proprietor faces a prosecution
that may send him to the peni-
tentiary.

No town will become. good
business center so long as its
busines men rely on few mer-
chants to make the effort to
bring trade to town. Too often
the men in a few lines of trade
are about the only ones to reach
out after customers. Other mer-
chants wait until these men in
duce the people to come to town
and content themselves with the
trade that naturally drifts to
their place. A public spirited
man should ask himself if he is
doing his best to attract people
to come to town to trade, thereby
helping the entire business com
munity, for no town is success
unless all are working to extend
the trade as far as possible and
trying to bring larger territory
in the circle in which the town
is the business center.-Ex.
Jerome, his gripsacks stuffed
with law keeps on the trail of
Harry Thaw. When Harry flees
the coop, Jerome let's out
mighty whoop, and chucks some
statutes in his grip, and goes
upon flying trip. No other aim
in life has he than just to chase
poor Harry T., and legislate him
into Jail whenever he has hit
the trail. When Thaw is safe in
dungeon deep, jerome drops out
and goes to sleep, remaining
torpid in his deem, till Harry
Thaw cuts loose again. We ne
er hear Of Bill jerome at other
times-he stays at home; Of
neither good nor i'll report, he
cuts no ice in camp or court.
One aim alone in life is his-to
rip around and make things whiz,
and spring laws to a fare-you-
we'll whenever Harry jumps his
cell. The most of us toll and
plan, and bear the ancient curse
of man; to gain the things we
eat and wear the midnight couch
the evening chair; and dreary is,
the path we mend, with little
largeness in the end. But this
Jerome, who does not toll, who
does not burn the midnight oil,
who does not reap or thresh the
straw but merely chases Harry
Thaw, in royal purple he is dres-
sed, and has large diamonds on
his chest. Our toll is all Of no
avail. Let's quit and camp on
Harry's s trail.-Walt. Mason.
