Eschbach for Speaker

Jesse Eschbach of Warsaw is slated for speak
er of the lower branch of the general assembly
when it convenes in January. He was Republican
floor leader for the last two sessions. Eschbach
will be an ideal speaker. During two sessions of
the legislature when the Democrats had absolute
control and the Republicans could only sit by and
try to enter protest now and then, Eschbach
guided the destiny of his party. Eschbach and
Earl Crawford were the two men who opposed
the Cook "steam roller in the 1918 assembly.
Both were crushed by the ruthless manner in
which Cook, who was defeated for secretary of
state in the last election forced Democratic ma
chine bills through the house. Eschbach con-
demned Cook time and again on the floor of the
house. As early as 1913, he predicted in one of
his speeches that Cook could thwart justice and
fair play then, but that ultimately he would pay
the price for his policy. The election early this
month saw the fulfilment of Eschbach's predic-
ton.

Legs Increase in Value

Along with the rising price Of other necessi-
ties of life the price of mans leg is higher, ac-
cording to decision of the appellate court Of
Illinois in affirming judgment of $18,500 won by
man who lost leg in 1911. The court held:
"The damage may be larger than the court
would have sustained a few years ago. We can
not, however, be unmindful of the fact that the
money value of life and health is approaching
and the purchasing power of money is steadily
diminishing during recent years."
There is logic in the reasoning of the court.
If it is more difficult to make living now than it
was ten years ago, and if the dollar buys less
than it did then, it is natural to infer that the
members of the body used in making living are
of more value to man today than they were
decade ago.

She Loved the Dog but Had to Pay the Fine

Mrs. Annie Pryor Smith, a resident of Beech
hurst, L. l., was fined $25 and costs for striking
a conductor on Long Island railroad train who
protested against the presence of her pet dog in
a passenger train. The judge who heard the case
saw no reason why the woman should be spared
the fine. Neither do those of us who have no
legal training. If the rules of the railroad pro-
hibit the presence of dogs in passenger cars,
women who want the company of their pets
should ride with them in the baggage cars. Con-
ductors have enough worries without being COM
PEELED to fight to sustain the rule that the place
for dogs is in the baggage car.

Help Yourself to a Smile

A smile doesn't cost you cent. Neither does
it cost you cent to enjoy the smile of some
happy go-lucky mortal who believes the old world
is full of happiness and sunshine even in the days
when the sky is cloudy and your outlook is
gloomy. When you feel down and out and are in
the dumps, help yourself to a smile and you'll
feel better.

One Hundred and Twenty-Six Lots
lin Plat-Well Located and Natur-
ally Drained.

Two new additions to Dickinson are
being opened up in the western por-
ton Of the city by the Home Realty
q Investment Co., of Emporia,
Kansas. These are the Fifth and
Seventh additions, until recently
owned by the Guaranty Investment
Co. These tracts changed hands a
couple of weeks ago and since that
time activity has been the watchword.
All the streets and avenues have been
graded, the grass cut and the inter-
sections are now being marked with
street and avenue numbers. Brick
marking monuments will also be
erected.
The new editions being opened con-
sist of 126 lots, all well located.

STARK COUNTY MAKES
GOOD FARM SHOWING

The 1915 industrial census for
Stark county has just been completed
by Auditor ]. L. Hughes. The report
is not as complete as one would like
to have it, owing to the fact that
there are a great many people who
are afraid to give the true statistics
of their crops and stock raising en-
deavors for fear that it will have a
bearing upon their taxes. This is a
mistaken idea, as the industrial can
vass, although made by the assessor,
has nothing whatever to do with the
taxation department., and one will not
be used as check upon the other.
Every farmer of the county is urged
to give the assessor a full and COM
prehensive data of how many bushels
of grain they raise, number of acres
used, number of horses, cattle, hogs
and sheep raised, besides the amount
of produce sold.
The data secured in this way will
be used by the state department to
advertise the resources of North Da-
kota in other states, thereby pro-
noting immigration and as conse-
quence higher land values.
The census for 1915 shows the fol-
lowing livestock figures for the
county. They are very incomplete,
but give a fair idea of the relative
proportions:
Cattle $15,758.OO
Horses II, ,792.OO
Hogs ..-....---.-...-..-......-....... $4,000
These figures demonstrate that the
farmers Of Stark county do not live
alona hv ti11inU tho soil There is
plenty Of diversiication, and besides,
the hundreds Of thousands bushels Of
grain raised each year, many thous-
ands of cattle and horses are shipped
out, tons of butter and cream are pro-
duced, eggs are sold by the millions
and an unlimited amount of vege-
tables is grown. Verify, this is the
land of plenty.

AMORTIZATION UNDER THE
FEDERAL FARM LOAN ACT

Amortization refers to the payment
of a longtime loan in installments.
Each installment pays the interest
due and a part of the principal. The
installments are usually annual or
semi-annual. They may be either,
under the new Federal Farm Loan
Act. The exact meaning of the term
can be illustrated by an example. A
farmer borrows one thousand dollars
for twenty years at six per cent. By
consulting an amortization table, we
find that twenty annual payments of
$3.50 will extinguish this debt, in
Guiding interest and principal, in
twenty years. The amortization plan
means a big savings over the old,
simple interest plan. Compare them:
Under the new plan, for the use of
one thousand dollars the farmer pays
twenty installments of $3.50, or a
total of $1743.91. Now, under the
old plan he pays back $1,000 plus in
terest at six per cent or $50 year
for twenty years, which means $1,000
interest. Hence. he must repay, un-
der the old plan $4,000. The new plan
shows savings Of $456.19.
If the farmer decides to pay the
mortgage in full at the end of five
years, the unpaid principal at date
will be $S46.79. At the end Of ten
years the unpaid principal will be
S641.76.

NEW ENGLAND W0l9AA
Down BY RUNAWAY AUTO

Mrs. Frank A. Wald of New Eng
land has been in the hospital at Bis
marck the past week in a serious
bile accident.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank A. Wald and
Mr.. and Mrs. A. F. Wald were re-
turning by auto from a visit with
relatives in Emmons county, and were
waiting for a chance to cross the
Missouri river on the Bismarck Man
dan ferry. They left their car up on
the hill on one side of the road and
with the brakes set. There was not
room for the car down near the river
because cars coming from the other
side must go up the road first.
The Wald party walked down to the
rivers edge and were standing on a
platform that had been used as a
landing when the water was higher.
How it happened will never be known
but in some way the brakes loosened
and the car came rushing down the
hill. When it was discovered it was
too late for Mrs. Wald to get out of
the way. The car knocked her down
and ran completely over her and went
off the platform into the river.
Frank Wald managed to get in the
clear but both Mr.. and Mrs. A. F.
Wald were knocked aside, although
not being seriously injured.
A physician was summoned by
phone from Bismarck and was on the
scene in about ten minutes. Mrs.
Wald was rendered unconscious and
did not regain consciousness until the
evening of the following day. She
was badly bruised about the head and
suffered hemorrhages from the ear
for several days. It was feared that
there were possibly other internal in
juries but reports later are more
favorable and her complete recovery
is expected. The car was later re-
covered from the river with the aid
of team of horses and a number of
men.

new Town AND COUNTRY
CLUB HOUSE PLANNED

A meeting was called of the stock
holders of the Dickinson Town and
Country Club Tuesday evening for
the purpose of adopting the plans for
the magnificent new club house, which
will be ready for occupancy in the
early spring. Study of the plans re-
vealed the fact that house, such
as is desired by the club members,
could not be built with the funds
available. AS consequence, motion
was made and carried that the club
borrow. money, not to exceed $1,000,
to complete the club headquarters as
per specifications.
The present plans provide for a
building 64x44 feet in size. The pres
ent club house will be made into one
end of the new structure and con-
tain the locker rooms, one for the
men and one for the women. 1t will
also provide rooms for toilet purposes
and shower baths. The main portion
of the building will contain the dance
or assembly hall, 30x50 feet in size,
foored with maple. On the southwest
corner will be built wing which will
house the kitchen. A mammoth
porch, 64x14 feet in size, will extend
along the entire north front, and will
be entirely screened.
The plans include large fire place
at the east end of the assembly hall.
The material for the fire place will
be furnished by the North Dakota
Pressed Brick Co.

EQUITY ELEVATOR At
K|LLDEER BURNS DOWN

The Equity Elevator at Killdeer
burned to the ground in terrific
blaze Wednesday night. The fire evi-
IDENTIFY started on or under the drive
way from an unknown origin and af-
ter it was once started it spread hap
idly. The total loss is estimated at
$4,000, which is we'll covered by in
surance.
The alarm was turned in at about
10:15 o'clock and the Killdeer fire
department and citizens responded
quickly. The fire was beyond control
but the department and citizens, were
able to save the Powers end the Occi-
dent Elevators.
Although nothing could be done to
save the elevator still the citizens
were able to save the flour and twine
in the store house after working for
two hours. After the fire was under
control at about ~ o'clock, watches
were placed around the debris to see
that the blaze did not start anew.
The railroad company had a large
number of cars on the track, but sue
ceeded in getting them out of the way
in time.
Manager Mccarthy is at aloss to
know how the fire started. He says
that he was at the office until about
9:30 when he left the office and went
home.
The total valuation of the build
ings is about $500 and there was
10000 bushels of grain in the cleva-
tor. In view of the fact that this
company has always done a large
business it is expected it will be re-
built at once

REQUEST FOR ABATEMENT
Of TAXES NOT GRANTED

Jacob Peterson and others of Ash
Coulee township appeared before the
Board of County Commissioners at a
recent meeting and requested the
lowering of the realty tax assessment
levied against them, claiming that
the land in question was of poorer
quality than adjoining tracts assessed
at the same rate. At the Septem-
ber meeting the commissioners turned
this appeal down because of the reas-
on that they did not have jurisdic-
ton to grant the appeal. The only
time the commissioners can lower
taxes, according to the laws of the
state, is when it sits as a board Of
equalization at the annual equaliza-
tion meeting.
