Some are already censuring the
President for not taking hasty
steps IN this war, but how can
any man, be he of whatever par
ty he may, censure the man who
has so safely guided our nation
and people through every tenn
petueus wave, who has proven
himself oneof the greatest heroes
of any age, who has helped to
bear the burden of every Ameri-
can, who has proven that he ha s
been the one man. to guide this
nation safely through, What
more conservative man could we
have at our nations head than
our elean-minded, far-seeing,
God-fearlng Woodrow Wilson,
whom we all love?

NEWS
MANY BICFARMS
DEVELOPED IN
COOK DISTRICT

The Little Fork Valley, for a coun-
try so recently settled, has shown a
remarkable growth, particularly dur
ing the last four years. A few years
ago but wilderness with few small
farms scattered over large area, now
a thriving, cultivated agriculturist's
paradise, in which are situated many
of the finest farms of the northwest.
Modern improvements and methods,
fine homes and pure bred stock are
seen everywhere-proof of the
pioneers faith in the future of this
district.
A days trip through the Little Fork
valley gives the homeseeker an oppor-
tunity to see what such farmers as
the following have accomplished in
the way Of development: The big
Burtness Brothers farm with over 200
acres under CIVILIZATIONS; Robert Peers,
Virginia business man, with $50 acres
under the plow; Gust Johnson, another
Virginian, with 204; John Olson with
80; Nels Benson with 100; Clark
Winchell with 80; E. P. Veitch with
100 acres cleared and many others, all
examples of what the average settler
can do.
The cost Of clearing has been ap-
proximately from $35 to $50 an acre
but these figures are comparatively
low when one considers the extraor-
binary possibilities of this district.

Cooks postmaster is a busy man..
His name is O. J. Leding and besides
being Uncle Sans official representa-
tive at the Little Fork metropolis he
takes active part in the management
Of the big Leding Bros general store.
Cook postoffice enjoys the distinction
of being the distributing point for
seven other postofices, distributed
over territory covering three differ
ent counties and one of them located
at point 81 miles away, namely, the
township Of Togo. Besides taking care
of this large territory, Postmaster
Leding has successfully kept up with
an increase that has doubled the re-
ceipts in less than three years.
Cook has at present one rural free
delivery but the past years influx of
new settlers has made it necessary to
give immediate consideration to a
second route.

MANY SETTLERS
COME TO COOK

In spite of the hue and cry Of the
pessimists that we are experiencing
hard times the demand for farm lands
in the Little Fork valley has kept
steadily increasing. Since the first Of
the year score or more of new set
tiers have taken up the virgin lands
and have already cleared and put I'M
der cultivation several hundred acres.
1t is safe to assume that that num-
Der will be doubled by the end of the
summer as scores of inquiries have
been received from many points in the
great northwest during the past two
months.

A crew of men with teams has been employed
during the past week laying crushed rock on
the streets of the town. Township Road
Overseer Thomas Butler is in charge of the
road work in this vicinity. The rock has been
placed on Railroad avenue and in few days
roller will probably be used to work the
road into shape.
The streets were greatly improved during
the past few months by the construction of
drainage bitches and now as soon as it stops
raining the water drains from the road into
the bitches and q few hours after the rain
the road is in fair condition. 1

TO VIRGINIA BY THE MAILS

With the excellent transportation
facilities afforded by the parcels post
at their command, farmers in this
vicinity are seriously considering the
proposition Of sending boosters COM
mittee to Virginia to acquaint the
housewives of that city with the fact
that they can supply them with great
quantities of butter and eggs in prime
condition. Several farmers here have
already secured several customers
there whose needs they supply daily
by parcel post, but the greater part of
the dairy products are now being sent
to Duluth, with the result that our
next door neighbors are not aware of
the opportunity that lies before them.

GOOD ROAD WORK
is ACCOMPLISHED

A great deal of work has been done
on the many roads in the Little Fork
valley this spring and in spite of the
inclement weather are in fine condi-
ton with few exceptions. Over 81 800
in road checks have been cashed in the
last four days at the State bank. Road
building operations have been sus-
pended for the present until the farm
ers have completed their harvests.
General satisfaction is expressed
here over the work accomplished un-
der the supervision of Commissioners
MacMahon and O'Neil on the roads in
this vicinity.
