to turn a poor man down when he

credit until harvest. We cannot
place any insurance on our book &C.
count. At least, I have never heard
of a company that would take five or
ten thousand dollars worth of book
accounts and insure the merchant
against any loss ON them. But on
the other hand the farmer can insure
his crop and his cattle against loss.
He can receive the reward for the
years work as soon as he hauls' his
grain or drives his stock to market.
If he has hogs to sell he can bring
them in and get his spot cash for
them. If he has poultry of any Kind
to sell, they have a cash value and
he knows he can get his money for
them whenever he feels like disposing
of Them. Let the merchant try to
buy any Of the farmers products on
time and he finds he cannot dc, it.
No sir! The farmer demands and
gets spot cash for everything he
sells outside his butter and eggs.
That is: why the farmer has made
such a wonderful showing in the

dltlons as compared with his brother,
the merchant.

FR|ESENS INVESTMENT

D. w. Friesen of this city made a
deal with S. L. Carroll a short time
ago whereby he became the owner
of n of the best paying properties
in the city of Dickinson.
Mr.. Friesen traded his two Sec
tons of land that he owned in Bill
ings county for the brick garage and
livery barn owned by Mr.. Carroll
which is a brick structure and the
garage is at present leased by the
Dauber Auto & Machine Co., which
is doing a large business in the auto
repairing line.
Mr.. Friesen realizes the rapid de-
velopment of Dickinson as the Queen
City of the prairies and knows that
an investment in the city's property
is a good investment, while Mr.. Car
roll has a good bunch of stock to
put on the ranch acquired from Mr..
Friesen and will undoubtedly make a
success.
Mr.. Friesen has been engaged in
the machine business in this city for
the past three years and mostly as
representative of the Case Co., and is
thoroughly experienced in this line
and may later install a complete line
of machinery and enlarge The prop
erty recently purchased of MI. Car

institutions of the country have re-
fused to take part in Mr.. Ford's eff
fort and some even go so far as to
say it is only an advertising scheme
on his part. On the other hand, good
may come and if there is a shadow
of opportunity to bring the European
carnage to an end, it is worth the
effort. Mr.. Ford is inviting some
n hundred representative men and
women to 60 to Europe at his ex-
pense in al effort to initiate settle
ment between the warning nations.
The party is to proceed to The Hague
to confer a week with representa-
tives of foreign countries, visit the
warning countries, the hospitals,
trenches and battlefelds and then
meet in a conference that shall sug-
gest terms upon which peace may be
secured. The move is made in haste
and is unsolicitated by the countries
most concerned; but it may be that
after all, while none of these countries
will make overtures Of peace lest it
appear a sign of weakness they may
hail the initiative of Mr.. Ford.
Though possible this is not generally
considered probable. However, the
guests of Mr.. Ford will have a fine
trip gratis and there is the possibility
of starting a move for the benefit
of suffering humanity.

1t is gratifying to note that Supt.
W: p. Hoover of Fargo will be a can
didate for the office of Superintendent
of Public Instruction.. When a man
with the experience, qualifications and
character of Mr.. Hoover is willing
to make the sacrifices necessary to be
elected to this office things look good
exceptionally in North Dakota. The
wishes of the great body of men and
women engaged in teaching in the
state should be respected in the
choice of a person for this office.
From all rel the state teachers and
superintendent have asked Mr..
Hoover to become a candidate. The
electorate at large should give him
it's undivided support. With the
best man available as a candidate, it
is to be hoped there will be no other
candidates for the office.

Dickinson, N. D., Dec. 3, 49,

Dear Sir:
After reading the communications
which appeared in your issue of
November 10 from different farmers
in your community-every word writ
ten by them being true, and we know
that none of the writer's exaggerated
or stretched the truth in regard to
their acquired prosperity during the
last fifteen or twenty years, for the
writer's of such letters as appeared
in your paper are not men to idly
boast of what they have done and
of what they can yet accomplish but
on the contrary are rather modestly
inclined-this thought occurred to me
We know it to be a east iron fact
that the men who stayed with their
farms during the last fifteen years,
men who were at all Industrious and
who managed their business and at
tended to their own affairs with the
slightest degree of common sense,
have prospered and made good,
though they started on comparatively
nothing. Now how about the mer-
chants? Have they gotten rich dur
ing this time? How many of the
merchants Of Dickinson, Gladstone,
Taylor, Richardton or Belfield have
made enough during those years SO
they can retire from business and

 This matter, it is understood, was the subject of discussion at a cabinet meeting today, after which Lansing flatly refused to answer any questions. Other members of the Cabinet were equally silent; and the German en- bassy also refused to talk
 The State Department is believed to be of the opinion that Boy-ed's admit ted connection with the financing of the operations of the convicted steam ship officials, left nothing else to do but inform Germany of it's views.

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
 GAVE EXCELLENT PROGRAM

Principal Van HoOse and faculty of the Yuma Union high school may well be proud of the pupils in tehir charge, if the splendid program pre- sented to the large audience of schooi patrons at the high school auditorium last night is any criterion.
 Forty persons took part, equally di- vided among the boy and girl students The main feature was the two-ac, farce, "A Perplexing Situation," full of humor and thoroughly enjoyed. It was doubtless instigated by the girls and women teachers to convince the man species that a woman actually can exist and not talk incessantly The men present last night are satls- fled that Yuma has a few women who can keep quiet
 Miss Thelma Weatherstone, Ari- zona's sweetest student singer, cleo trified the music lovers last night with the selection, Jerusalem" by request, and was recalled to sing "Oh, Was It Your"
 Miss Florence McAfee, the high school teacher, sang Don't Cry" in the first little playlet on the program, and ably took Mammals" part in the main feature.
 Loyal Stahl was leading man, and sang, That Old Sweetheart of Mine," in Pantomime effect-Miss Susan Wright, of Somerton, taking the sweetheart's part, which she did to perfection
 The Balderas-brother and sister added class to the program with sev- eral violin selections and piano ac- companist.
 Not least on the program was Miss Anna McCarter, in toe and heel fancy dancing, who was the marvel of the evening, as she tip-toed and gracefully glided thru space, as if on wings. She was consistently encored.
 The high school chorus of 14 girls and 16 boys concluded the delightful program with a popular selection after which Prof Yoke, master of cere- monies, came before the footlights to thank Miss Thelma Weatherstone for her valuable assistance on the pro- gram.
 The proceeds of last nights enter tainment will be turned over to the high school baseball association, and will help to finance three teams to play this winter.

COL. D0RR|NCTON
 YOUNGER EVERY DAY

Col. John W. Darlington, pioneer editor of the Arizona Sentinel, who registers as over 21, told the Examiner today that he is getting younger, and that he hasn't felt so good since Judge Riley sued him for $25,OOO libel, in 1878, ten years before the Yuma Times was born.
 One of the real reasons the Colonel felt so good over was because he had just received an optimistic letter from his old-time friend, Col. J. H. Nc Clintock, of Phoenix, advising him that since Colonel D. had lived many years longer than the average man, and had led a careful, sober life, he ought still be young and good for 40 years more.
 How old would the Colonel be then?
 MT. Darlington not long since very strenuously protested because the Ex- aminer said he had lived in Yuma for sixty years, thereby materially lessen ing his chances of catching a young wife. The Colonel was very consid- crate, however, and didn't sue us for libel-for which we are sincerely thankful, since to beat it, it would have been necessary to go before the state supreme court, which is very distasteful to all newspaper men.
 Here's hoping you live to be 100, Colonel.
