Emmons County Record

lty Record
kitchen trap-door, left three bins
six feet square, with an area
way six feet square. The walls
and roof were of good, rich,
North Dakota soil. The height
of this palace was six feet. It
was lighted" by a boxed hole
about a foot by eighteen inches
in the roof. But this we had to
stuff up when it was showing or
the snow was blowing. A stove
pipe ran through the dirt roof.
The winter of '86-'87 was noted
for the great depth of snowfall.
Kerosene lamps furnished the
light all winter. And for six
months we ate, slept and printed
the paper in that hole in the
ground.
And ours was not the only
family that had to put up with
great discomforts and inconven-
fence in the early days. Prac-
tically all of the old-timers who
stuck to their farms did well;
and there isn't one of them
alive that does not deserve the
more comfortable conditions
that have come to himself and
his family in their old age.
In closing | want to call the
attention of the farmers and
workers generally of Emmons
county to the fact that they
hardly appreciate the value Of
their landsand their opportunities.
/ often hear remarks here re-
BOARDING the wonderful grain out
put per capita of the state.
This years crop is simply amaz
ing! One has but to 60 to some
other region to properly appreci-
ate the blessings that the peo-
pie of North Dakota enjoy.
True, the winters are cold.
Many people who can get away
without much sacrifice spend
them farther south. But, outside
of a few miles along the salt
water coasts, the southern coun-
try is very hot in summer. 1t is
a question in my mind whether a
northern winter is more uncom-
Portable than an interior southern
summer. There is no country on
Gods green earth that is perfect.
All have their advantages and
drawbacks. But, when it comes
to the matter of work, the New
Northwest has a wonderful adj
vantage. No part of the South is
a desirable place for a man who
works for wages or who expects
to occasionally work for others
while building up his farm. Here
on the gulf coast of Florida it is
very pleasant. 1t doesn't take a
great amount of money to build
up a farm of fifteen or twenty
acres, which, when established,
will make a pleasant home and
provide a family with a good liv-
ing. But one must have money
enough to keep him and his for a
couple of years at least. The man
who expects to 60 to the South
and work for others part of the
time will likely be disappointed.
Wages are comparatively low.
the usual rate here being $1.5O
per day, the worker boarding
himself. It should not be forgot
ten that the man coming here to
do farm work must come in COM
petition with the negroes. This
makes wages low. and in my
Judgment will continue to keep
wages low.
The man in North Dakota who
is young or of middle age and in
good health. should never sell his
place and 60 somewhere else un-
til he has, at least, first visited
the region to which he is attract
ed and personally ascertained its
drawbacks and advantages.

Local Wealth.

Bank deposits in any neighbor:
hood are a good criterion Of the
financial condition of the people
| in the adjacent territory. We
are giving herewith the individ.
ual deposits subject to check and
the time certificates of deposit in
the banks at Linton, as well as
those at Strasburg only nine
miles south of Linton The
figures are taken from the report
issued on call of the state bank
examiner September I'd and are
taken at a time when deposits
would naturally be at low tide.
1t is easy to see that bank ac-
counts should be as badly depict
ed on September I'd as at prac-
tically any time of the year. All
the expense of farming, as well
as all living expenses have been
borne since the marketing of the
1914 crop nearly a year before.

5,s Paris May 25, 1:10 p. m.-Ray- mend Poincare, presiden, of the French Republic, during a visit to the armies in Lorrain and the vosges sent the King of Italy the following tele- gram:
 '.At this solemn hour, when Italy enters upon the glorious path marked out by her destintes. all France is glad to think that the two sister na- tions are going to fight once more for the defense of their common civiliza- ton and for the freedom of oppressed reoples Already brought nearer to- gether by their relationship, but their traditions, and by the immortal force oc the Latin. genius Italy and France will be united forever by this new fra ternity of souls and by this reflected consecration of their natural relations.
 1T express to Your Majesty my most ardent wish for the victory of your valiant troops. With these soldiers the allied armies are proud to fight to put an end to the enemies of justice and liberty.
 ..I wish noble Italy a successful realization of her national aspirations, and beg Your Majesty to accept these assurances of my devoted friendship"

For many hours the man pictured here practically held the political fate of William Barnes and former Presi- dent Roosevelt in his hands. When the twelve men who heard the evi- dence in the libel suit brought by MT. Barnes against MT. Roosevelt re- tired one juryman, Burns by name and a motornan by occupation, stub- bornly opposed report in favor of a real verdict for the colonel. He was the enc central figure in the one pulp lie act furnishing the climax of the five weeks political drama There were reports that everything but a fist fight had been resorted to by the jurymen to compel an agreement. Although Motorman Burns can take care of l1inself-he is six feet tall, weighs 195 pounds and is handy with his fists-he finally joined with 1 the ether eleven and found a verdict for the colonel. Although MT. Roosevelt thanked all Of the Jurymen he was more than cordial to Burns

TWO TREATIES SIGNED
 BY JAPAN AND CHINA
Facts Refer 10 Sbanluag Peninsula NanchuTIa aad M5DQgia.

Washington, May 25.-Tokio des- that at 3 p. m., May 25, two treaties covering the negotiations conctrning the Shantung Peninsula and Man churia and Mongolia, were signed and exchanged between Japan and China with a note concerning other ques- tions. No intimation of the contents of the note was contained in the des- patches.
 Step Legal Nature. : Dispatches from Tolxio saying Japanese newspapers did not under stand the necessity for the American note to Japan and China stating the presumption of the United States that the new treaty between Japan and China would not conflict with Amer ican rights brought forth the explan- ation from high official quarters to- day that the step was merely of a legal nature, placing on record the understanding of the American gov ernment of the recent parleys and formally setting forth it's expectation that nothing in the treaty woull con- travene any treaties beween the United States and China, or the ter ritorial integrity of China, or the principle of the "open door, or freedom of commercial opportunity in the Far East
 Officials here pointed out, further, that no legal difficulties were expec- ed but that the American note was designed chiefly to affect the phrase plogy or the new treaty, which is to be based on the articles stated in general terms which forms the basis for the Chinese Japanese negotiations
 Questions of Detail Remain.
 Some questions of detail are under stood to remain, which it was con sidered might become a. subject of legal contention in the future by American citizens, and the state de- partment accordingly undertook to file at this time what is described as a scaveat'' broad enough to prel serve American rights and claims hereafter.
