Monday. December q.
Mrs. Grover CarpenteI and son are
contemplating a visit to her people at
Idaho Springs in the near future.
Mrs. J. j. Carpenter returned from
the Red Cross Hospital Christmas day,
much improved in health. Mrs. Chas.
E. Cope of Salida accompanied her
home as q guest OF the Sportmen' s
hotel.
Last Saturday evening, q sleigh con-
tanning fifteen jolly people came up
from the Rainbow hotel to Cebolla
where the evening was whiled away
with dancing and games. We were
fortunate enough To have Miss Ruby
Carpenter and Mr.. Lucas. assisted by
Mrs. Grover Carpenter, to furnish the
music. Dainty Refreshments were
served at midnight. One amusing fea-
ture of the evening was the mock trial.
One of the boys refused to sing ong
in order to regain his forfeit. and this
led to the formation of the court and all
that goes with it. Much amusement
was afforded throughout the whole pro-
ceeding.
Those present at the Christmas feast
given by Mr.. Carpenter were Mr.. and
Mrs. j. J. Carpenter. Mr. and Mn.
Arthur Perry and daughter. Mr. and
Mrs Grover Carpenter and son, Mrs.
Cope. Mn. E. B. Simmons, Misses Oils
and King. Messrs. Palus Carpenter.

A Hint to the Farmers

Just a hint to the farmers, showing where they
can, do a good piece of advertising for the country
without costing them. anything, and at the same time
showing the travelling public that North Dakota is
good for something. = t -. ~. "
Now that corn is being raised quite successfully
liz this state, would it. not be a good plan for those
who have land along the railroads to plant Their. corn
along that side of the field which borders on the
II u so7daosns they zwin=sp t65aas'
travelling public that corn can be raised successfully
in, this state, and thereby remove a wrong impress
sion. which many fasteners have in the matter; that
is, that corn cannot be raised here.
Corn planted away over on the further side of the
field from the railroad does not attract the eye OF.
the passenger who is ,wllirling Through the country
at the rate of a mile a minute, but If it is right under
his eye as he goes along, and there are many fields,
1t will make an impression on hima and make him feei
that this country is not so bad, after all.
Would it not be well for the press of the state 70
take up this suggestion and repeat it to its many
readers, and there are undoubtedly hundreds Of farm.
ers who will take to the idea. It is a plan which
viii cost nothing, and it will be a big advertisement
for the country.

.Md0e Allen Not q Candidate

For some time past the numerous friends of
Judge Frank p. Allen, of the Fourth Judicial district,
living at Lisbon, have insisted that he become a
candidate for the Supreme Eench. afaSa"-" r~
~, So ardent were their claims and propositions that
Mss.sSAllen took the matter under advisement and,
considering the proposition from its various
phases, he has announced that he cannot entertain
the idea, and that he prefers to continue as a trial
Judge rather than aspire to a place on the Supreme
Bench. Ill & @11~sSt5 # m
Nj: Allen has made an ~exsccsieeunt judge, has helo
the position for some time and win Undoubtedly be
chosen for the place many more times if>i,as prefers
to continue iii the service aonfsthe people Of the Frvsdhrrtn'
district, but. he declines the offer of his friends Wifi
thanks, We're he elected to- the Supreme Bench M.
Allen would undoubtedly make an able Judge ana
fill the position with honor and dignity to himsele
and his constituents, but his decision takes him OH,
of the list of possibilities. 49,.

The Clark Underwood Position

In, two campaigns-the latest of national imports
the Democrats appealed for power on the charge tina,
the Republicans had repudiated their platform.
The first appeal was in 1910, made under the Lead
ership OF Mr.. Clark and MI. Underwood. At thai
time Mr.. Wilson was not, strictly speaking, a nationa,
figure. He was simply being mentioned for tho
Presidency. They had been members Of the House
for years, and were now the foremost Democrats i'll
that body. > W. ii
They took for their text the Payne tariff Law,
whose enactment they had strenuouslyj resisted. The
principal point they made was that the law was not
in keeping with the promise upon which the Repuo-
licans had obtained power. 1t was a good revenue
producer, but it was not a revision downward, ana
the cost of living remained high.
On that point Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Underwood-Mr.

they not have carried it again in 1912, with Mr.. Tate
