Since the recent announcement of
his engagement, President Wilson has
been in for quite large and varied
assortment of gibes and SLY drives
from the would be funny men of the
editorial columns of the press, among
whom our brother of the Walhalla
Mountaineer assumed to be one of the
end-men in his issue of last week.
We have read lot of these bouquets
but the Fluctuations extended by the
Duluth Herald appear to be most apt
ly and nicely put of any: 1.-The
loneliest man in the country, occupy
ing the hardest and loneliest job on
earth, has chosen him companion

A copy of the Proceedings of the
Iowa Acadamy of science,' for 1914
has just been received by our high
school. This volume contains an
article on "Coleoptera" by Miss Inez
II. King. The Iowa acadamy of
science is composed of scientists in
that state who have contributed some-
thing of Importance to the scientific
knowledge of the world by original
research. Miss Kings election to a
membership in this society is mark
of distinction.
Our schools have made arrange
ments with the Elson Art Publishing
Co., Boston, Mass, whereby we will
have an art exhibit in our schools
from November 18th to Goth. The
end in view is two fold, (D that our
pupils may become familiar with some
of the great works of art, and (2)
that few pictures may be secured
for our schools. To accomplish the
former, each grade will study the
pictures of the exhibit with our art
teacher, Miss Douglas. A short pro-
gram will be given by the pupils each
afternoon and evening while the pic
lures are on exhibition and small
admittance charged, the funds secured
to be used 70 purchase pictures for
the school. The cooperation of par
ents and friends of education is
solicited.
A new departure from the old time
curriculum in the seventh grade is
being made this year. The pupils of
this grade are to have the opportunity
of learning conversational German.
Each day simple little story or con-
versatlon about common object will
be told to the pupils in German. The
telling of the story will be accom-
panied by pictures or objects to assist
the pupils in getting the idea. The
teaching of modern language by the
synthetic method is not new. 1t is
also we'll established fact that if
language is to be spoken fuently, it
must be learned early in life, also
that the best method of teaching any
language to beginners is to first train
the ear to hear the correct spoken
form before an attempt is made to
speak the language. Miss Porter is
we'll qualified to do this work and as
both teacher and class are enthusiastic
the success of the class is assured.

The hardihood Of American women
in the backwoods and the endurance
of the sex who have gone to war in
other times are sometimes cited as ar
gument that our wives and sisters are
capable Of bearing arms. Peasant
women Of Europe have always done
rough farm work and doubtless could
bear up under the hardships Of war as
well as the average man, but not alone
would motherhood be imperiled and
the birth rate undermined-the pure
ly idealistic side would have to bear
q penalty too great for civilization to
pay. Conceding that woman's place is
not exclusively the home, it certainly
is not to be found amid scenes Of
bloodshed and violence of all forms ex-
cept when fulfilling the noble and he
roic mission Of humanizing war.

4PEDDLER NUISANCE IN FALL

Owing to the widely circulated
report of the big crop which has been
gathered in this fall by the farmers
over the state, peddlers have been
attracted here of every kind and
description and they are working both
night and day to dispose of their
wares to the public. These peddlers
pay no taxes, no rent, and not dol
}ar of their money goes to benefit the
community at large. There are both
state laws and city ordinances govern
ing these fellows, but little or no
attention it appears is paid to them.
AS means of self protection it is
high time that the merchants and
home dealers entered vigorous pro-
test. They are being hurt in more
ways than one. People it is known
are paying cash to these peddlers that
should 60 toward paying what they
are owing to the tradesman of their
herne town. They are buying inferior
goods from irresponsible people and
the rest of us are paying for their
foolishness. Out in California we
note that the state is taking up the
question of the carpet bagger" mer-
chant, who comes in with the tourist
season, wakes fat while the trade is
;:good, and hies himself away when the
season is over. He both gets in and
gets out again without paying taxes
or license because he rents store
room. If California can get action on
these fellows surely North Dakota can
get action on the peddler.

On Saturday next week, October
3Oth, the last Indian land sale of the
present year will be held at Fort
Yates, in this state, in Sioux county,
recently organized on the border line
between North and South Dakota.
During the past several months large
tracts of Indian lands on the Standing
Rock agency have been taken over and
it is asserted that the population of
the newly organized Sioux county will
have trebeled by this time next year
as a result Of the incoming of new
settlers.

recent controversy with the Minneap-
oils federal reserve bank and in a
recent communication to Edwin Mead,
the editor and manager of the Com
mrecial West, published at Minneap-
oils, regarding this matter, concludes
with the following words: 'In the
meantime, if any citizen of North
Dakota, or of the United States for
that matter, writes me for informa-
tion that l can give him, it will be
given him as long as the constitution
guarantees me the right of free
speech, whether or not the same
meets with the approval of the finan-
ciers who have "handled' the crops

A great wheat crop is always impor-
tant even if the prices are low. 1t Is
unprecedentedly important now that
much of Europe is unable to raise
wheat and the Russian crop for 1914
was not exported, and it is yet uncer-
tain whether that for 1915 will be. If
the season should be poor the yield
would be less than the present esti-
mates, but continuance Of excellent
growing conditions would carry the
spring wheat up to a point at which
the aggregate wheat harvest might ex-
ceed 1,OOO,OOOOOO bushels.
Courier Democrat., 1915-10-21
TO OUR FARMER READERS

Within the next two weeks, and as
early after November 1st as possible,
the Democrat would like to hear from
farm readers of the paper who are
satisfied with things as they have
found them since coming to this
county. Telling in their individual
way what they think of Cavalier
county as place in which success can
be attained on farm. The week of
November 18th to Goth is according
to proclamation issued by Governor
Hanna to be week devoted to show
ing the world at large the advantages
of our state and its wonderful desra-
bility to the homeseeker
The papers of the entire state are
putting forth special effort in their
editions of that week to place in their
columns all the possible information
obtainable relative to North Dakota
from those who know most about it
the actual farmers on the farm. We
believe that the story that can be told
by the farmers of Cavalier county will
take back seat to none of those of
any other part of the state. Those of
our readers who have found this
county good place in which to make
a home and make living at farming
are asked to let us hear from them.
We believe that page of such testi-
mony will make the best possible ad.
vertising for this section of the state.
Our county and state has had con-
siderable publicity advertising on the
adverse order, received at the hands
of those who have attempted to
knock" because they had it made
worth their while to do so. Now let
US have some information from farm
ers who feel that they have reason to
be satisfied with the country.
In the letter that you write bear in
mind the fact that since coming here
you have made good living on your
farm and that you know that others
could do the same You do not neces-
sarily need to write the Democrat a
cong letter. Tell how with the pro-
Iress and development of the county
you have prospered. 1t is not neces-
asry to exaggerate conditions. There
Is no harm in mentioning the hard
ships that have been met with and
overcome, as the kind of people who
in j
overcome hardships are not the kind
of people that North Dakota is look
ing for as new settlers We do not
claim that North Dakota is perfect
any more that any other section of the
United States is.
Every section of the country has
its drawbacks, but we do claim that
North Dakota has fewer of these than
the rest of 'em.
Cavalier county, and we might just
as we'll say North Dakota, has more
and better opportunities to offer the
man of small or moderate means, to
get ahead and make money than any
other section of the whole United
States that we know of, and those
who come here and make a comfort
able living are just those people who
in but a short time are sure to ac-
cumulate wealth.
Be sure and write the Democrat
letter giving your personal views on
his subject so that it will find place
on the page which will be devoted for
the purpose in our issue of November
18th Try and have it reach US az
soon after November 1st as possible.
