"EULOGY OF THE DOG"
BY George Graham Vest.

The one absolutely unseltish
friend that man can have in this
selfish world, the one that never de-
serts him, the one that never proves
ungratefulfuI or treacherous, is his
dog. A mans dog stands by him in
prosperity and poverty, in health and
in sickness. He will sleep on the
cold ground, where the wintry winds
blow, and the snow drives freely, If
only he may be near his masters
side. He will kiss the hand that has
no food to offer; he will lick the
wounds and the sores that come in
encunter with the roughness of the
world. He guards the sleep of his
pauper master as If he were prince.
When all other friends desert he re-
mains. When riches take wings and
reputation falls to pieces he is as
constant in his love as the sun in its
journey thru the heavens. II for
tune drives the master forth and out
casts him in the world, friendless and
homeless, faithful dog asks no higher
privilege than that of accompanying
him to guard against danger, to
fight his enemies, and when the last
scene of all comes and death takes
the master in it's embrace and his
body is laid away in the cold ground.
no matter il all other friends pursue
their way, there by. his graveside
the noble dog will be found, his head
between his paws. his eyes sad but
and true even to death.
open in alert watchfulness, faithful

TIMES ARE CHANGING.

We are becoming liberal in these
latter days. The Message has al
ways contended that there is too big
a waste in church buildings on ac-
count OF the lite time they are oc-
cupied and there is too much creed
and not enough practical religion.
A Presbyterian preacher recently
said this in the University Misaourian
published at Columbia:
II have looasd forward to a COM
munity chnrch," said Rev. W. W.
Elwang, paPtoT OF the Columbia
Presbyterian church. "There are
flve or six protestant churches in
Columbia, where one or two would
serve the religious needs of Col
umbia much better tine or two
large community churches located
in the center of some block near the
center of town, with the best minis
ter obtainaLia, backed up by the boet
of music and an efficient corps of
lieute1ants ana capable of taking
care of from :wO to three thousand
people, both at church and Sunday
school, would certainly prove a
greater facIo: in the lives of Column
bians and University students than
the present method of doing things.
"There IL no difference between
most protestant churches six days In
the week. The only time when the
division comes Is on Sunday morn L.
ing. The men who haze done busi-
ness together all week, or women
who have been closest of friends and
neighbors, separate and become for
a few hours Methodists, or some 9TH
er denomination. A we'll organized
community church could double or
treble the efficiency of all the
churches in Columbia today"

DRAG THE ROADS.

Country .rads .shuld be kept. in
such condition that they will shed
every bit of water that falls upon
them," says MARKEDLY, of theUni-
versity of Missouri College OF Agri-
culture. BE careful not to let anyone
use plow, grader, or scraper In such
a way as loosen the road bed so
thatit will hold water insteadof send
it off into the diches and streams. 1t
is good to open up bitches, but aside
from that and draggig, no use Of any
implement should be permitted so
late in the season. The men and
teams should be in the corn fields or
at work anyhow, and should there be
time for road work, 1t would be much
better to haul gravel to parts already
graded and wait till next spring to
do more grading. Some work Is neces.
sary to keep surface smooth as pos
sible that the snow may blow of, or
if it does not stay and melt, WIN run
off easily. If every man will drag the
road adjoining his Ind, MisSurf roads
will be better this winter than ever
before at the same time Of year. The
man with good team and drag can

surprisingly little effort"

MRS. TURNER GETS LOST.

The Sturgeon Leader makes the
following mention:
Mrs. Enoch Turner, returning
from Mexico last Thursday night, got
of the train here with her husband
and daughter. Several got on the
train here and It being dark at the
station, Mrs. Turner followed who
she thought was her husband and
daughter from the depot down the
road east of town. After following
them a distance she became lost.
She was met walking down the road
about mile from town by John Rob
inson, who brought her back to town
in his buggy. She was missed soon
after the train left by her relatives
and diligent search was being made
for her when she drove into town.
We are sorry to hear that Mrs. Fe-
lix Martin of near Molino, who has
been i'll for several weeks with pneu-
monia, who became better, has ta-
ken a relapse and is now very sick.

THE WEATHER.

Our big snow came last Friday and
Saturday-right along with Christ
mas. And there was more Monday.
1t is 12 or 10 inches deep in places.
The heaviest snow in ten years. The
atmosphere is not extremely cold,
and the beautiful sunshine is along
with it. 1t is hoped the white man
tie may remain with us for several

IT'S FIGHT OR RUN.

Young men who left the United
States to homestead in Canada, it is
said, are now leaving the Dominion
by the trainload, in order to avoid
military duty, all according to state
ments made by a number who have
passed thru Omaha, Neb., lately.
Joe Mix, according to the Wells
vile Optic-News, trainmaster at the
Burlington depot; Station Master
Simpson at the union depot and po-
lice officers Vanderford and Jensen
at the two depots, say they have talk
ed to number of the Canadian ref
ugees within the last week. They
were told Of the great exodus of
homesteaders, mostly from the states
originally, who are getting out of
the Dominion before they are forced
to go to war.
M. Jesse, one of them who left
Canada in order to avoid military
service, secured the aid of Joe Mix
in having his Canadian money chang
ed to United States currency. He
came from farm in Saskatchewan,
and was going to Ouray, Colo, to
stay with brother until the war is
over.
Some of the homesteaders from
the United States are leaving so hur-
riedly that they do not wait long
enough to dispose of their farms, or
even straighten out their business
interests" Jesse told Mix. "Some
even walk across the border for fear
of being refused permission to leave
the Dominion.
Everybody leaving Canada is
closely questioned at the border, and
some are not allowed to leave. Many
buy round-trip tickets to st. Paul
and say they are just coming to the
states to visit, in order to allay sus-
picions that they are leaving Canada
for good.
"It looks as II It is a case Of fight
or run, and the young men from the
states would rather run than fight
for Great Britain. It looks to them
as ifGreat Britain was losing, and
they have no desire to sacrifice them.
selves.
when the war broke out they
were told that If they would stay and
raise grain for the allies that was all
that would be expected Of them, but
it is now beginning to look as If con-
scription in Great Britain and Cana
da would soon be resorted to, In or
der to keep armies in the field.
Turnout Canada posters are dis
played demanding men for the army,
and press dispatches indicate that
conscription is only short time OF .

Why Not a Trail?

Elsewhere in this issue of the Rec.
ord appears an article relative to
the activities along the "Red Trail"
through North Dakota and the do
nations of thousands of dollars by
the various cities to huild bridge
near the west line.
1t calls to our mind the fact that
Linton and Emmons county is sit
uated midway between two great
transcontinental automobile routes
the Red Trail through Bismarck and
along the N. P, and the Yellow
stone Trail through South Dakota
and along the Milwaukee. What
the people of Linton and Emmons
county need to do is to foster a lit
tie Trail of their Cwn.
| 1t is only natural that tourists
will wish to pass from one Trail to
the other in their wanderings. In
fact, there are many cars 90 through
here in season going from Bis
marck to Aberdeen or from one
route to the other.
As is we'll known, the road from
Selhy. the nearest point tn US that
lies on the Yellowstone Trail. tt
Herreid is simply perfect and thu
natural trail is even better than ,
worked road. Also from Linton t.
Temvik there is perfect grade
thanks to the careful supervision o.
~. H. Reamer this season when tn
grading was done. The road from
Temvik to Hazelton is not 30 good
although it is graded. The road j

of q little money ON that part of tn
