NEW LIGHT THROWN
 ON INTERVIEW
Despite Promise of the President
 Contention is Made that New
 Haven Retained Steamship Line and Acquired Others. also

New York, Nov. 16.-New light on Charles s. Mellen's famous inter view with President Roosevelt over the question as to whether the New Haven railroad company should sell it's steamship line to Charles w. Morse, was switched on by the gov ernment attorneys today at the trial of the eleven former directors of the road on the charge of criminal viola tion of the Sherman law.
 The government introduced a let ter written by Mellen to William Loeb, Jr., the presidents secretary, by which it appeared there was a sub sequent misunderstanding between the railroad president and MT. Roosevelt over what has been said at the in- terview.
 According to Mellen's testimony the President told him he would give the New Haven no immunity if 1t violated the law but he promised there would be no action taken against the road during his administration if it should resign it's steamship lines.
 The government maintains that the New Haven not only retained the lines but proceeded to acquire others to strengthen it's alleged monopoly.

THE STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA
BY GOVERNOR l.. B. HANNA

This year, 1915, North Dakota has probably raised the best
crop ever grown in its history of all kinds of grain and one Of
the best crops ever produced by any state. Quite a large part of
our state has been farmed for thirty years almost continuously and
must take from the soil many of the clements necessary to produce
a good crop, but North Dakota has shown this year that with
climatic conditions right the good black soil of North Dakota is as
capable of producing a magnificent crop of grain as it was when
it was first turned over by the pillow from the virgin soil of the
pramies. North Dakota land is cheap, quality and nearness to mar
Dakota land and we here in North Dakoa who realize and who
know of the possibilities of our state and who appreciate all that
the state has done for her people, cannot better show our apprecia-
ton of the opportunities offered than by letting the world know
Of them.
We can speak we'll of our splendid educational system, of our
magnificent State University, Of our splendid Agricultural College,
of our fine Normal Schools. of our Industrial School, our Science
School and our School of Forestry, all Of which are doing a spen-
did work in advanced education. Then we can turn with pride
to our Rural and Consolidated School System and the splendid
schools are doing their part in educating the youth Of our state and
preparing them for the work of life and the paths which lie before
them. Behind the schools of our state stands a great endowment
fund in lands and money and this endowment fund will stand
pcrpetually to aid and help the boys and girls OF today and the
BOYS and girls Of the future.
North Dakota has splendid churches Of all denominations scat
tered over her prames and our people are privileged in having able
men as leaders in the church movements OF the various dcnomina-
tons.
Our state is a Temperance state and has been IN the van Of
that movement and not in the rear guard.
Our people are d~versifyng their farming methods and getting
out Of the rut Of the old day. We are putting out trees, beauti-
fyng our homes in the towns and country, putting up better build
ings and doing all Of those things that make for permanent popu-
laton.
Our railroad facilities III excellent and are wonderful when il
is taken into consideration that as a state we are but twenty-siX
years old.
When we stop to think of these things and of all that the
Almighty has done for is there must come up from our hearts a
sense Of appreciation that 50 much has been done for us.

"A LETTER HOME"

Like to come and see you daddy, and perhaps will some day:
Like to come back East and visit, but wouldn't care to stay.
Glad you're doing well, and happy; glad you like your country best,
But, for me, always hunger for the freedom of the West
There's a whoesomeness about it that 1 couldn't quite explain;
Once you breathe this air you love it and you long for it again;
There's a tie you can't discover in the splendor of fits sky
It's just home to you forever and I can't just tell you why.
It's so big and broad and boundless and its heaven is sc blue
And the metal G" its people always rings 81 clear and true;
All its biuowed acres CULVER like the shudder of the sea
And it's waves roll, rich and golden, in upon the shore for me.
Why, your farm and all the others that we used to think so fine
Wouldnt-lump EN- all together-make a corner lot Of mine;
And your old red clover pasture, with it's gate of fence rails barred,
Why, it wouldn't make a grass plot in our district schoolhouse yard.
Not a foot has touched its prairies but is longing to return,
Not an eye has seen the sunset On its western heavens burn
But looks back in hungry yearning with the memory growing dim.
And the zephyr of its prairies breathes the cadence of a hymn
That is sweet and full of promise as the "Beulah Land" we knew
When we used to sit together in the queer, odfashioned pew,
And at eventide the glory of the sun and sky and sod
Bids me bare my head in homage and in gratitude to God.
Yes, l love you, daddy, love you with a heart that's true as steel,
But there's something in Dakota makes you live and breathe and feel;
Makes you bigger. broader, better; makes you know the worth of toll;
Makes you free as are her prairies and as noble as her soil.
Makes you kingy as O man Is; makes you manly as q kngI
And there's something In the grandeur of the seasons sweep and swing
That casts off the freuing letters OF your East and marks you blest
With the yigor of the prairies-wNh the freedom of the West!
by James w. Foley.

BIRDS HOLIDAY DAINTIEs
YeIloW-Les Snipe Travels Some 5000
Miles for Christmas Dinner
Robins Like Holly Berrles.s


The yellow-leg snipe travels a mat.
ter of 5000 miles to get his Christ
mas dinner. 1t is pretty nearly the
longest journey made annually by any
living creature, and the object of it
seems to be to procure certain dain
ties in the way Of aquatic insects and
crustaceans appropriate for holiday
fare.
One might say, however, that the
most appropriate of Christmas din
ners is eaten by the robins which at
this holiday season feed largely upon
the berries of the holly-particularly
upon the berries of a kind of holly
called the black alder, which are al
bitter as quinine.
Another bird which has an interest
ing Christmas is the mocking bird
He is a planter Of the mistletoe ber
ries and mistletoe berries contribute
largely to his Christmas dinner. Be
ing particularly fond of them he Incl
dentally, though without intention
carries the seeds to tree branches
where they promptly fasten them
selves and sprout. In this way the
parasitic plant is widely propagated
in Texas, which is the principal win
ter resort of the Knockers.
The canvasback duck breeds in the
far North, from Minnesota to the
Arctic circle, in the interior. But the
call of Christmas turns it southwark

A Christmas Carol.


Scrooge was better than his word.
He did it all and infinitely more.
He became as good a friend,
as good a master, and as good man
as the good old city knew, or any 9th
er good old city, town, or borough, in
the good old world. Some people
laughed to see the alteration in him,
but he let them laugh, and little heed
ed them; for he was wise enough to
know that nothing ever happened on
this globe, for good, at which some
people did not have their fill of laugh
ter in the outset; and knowing that
such as these would be- blind anyway,
he thought it quite as well that they
should wrinkle up their eyes in grins,
as have the malady in less attractive
forms. His own heart laughed; and
that was quite enough for him. /.
And it was always said of him that he
knew how to keep Christmas well, If
any man alive possessed that knowl-
edge.
May that be truly said of us, and all
of us! And so, as Tiny Tim observed,
God bless us every one!
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1915-12-23


S. During the Christmas holidays,
when good cheer abounds plentifully
is a time when more fires occur than
at any other period in the year. The
indiscreet firing of crackers, rockets,
etc, cause. entirely too many fires.
Discharging fireworks is all right; it
is entirely in place, perhaps, but par
Sents should see that their children,
In doing so, do not eudanger prop
sserty by fire. Also, the Christmas va
cation is time when many accidents
occur. 1t is not at all necessary fo1
people to get injured by the firing OF
fireworks. By using care, no one
need be hurt1n the least. Let this
be one Christmas in Bamberg when
no fires will occur, and no one viii
be injured by foolishly handling dan
gerous fireworks.
