Germans Buy Heather.

Paris.-The largely increased expor-
tatlon OF heather from Denmark to
Germany was supposed to have been
due 10 the need of the Germans for a
substitute for forage. 1t was also said
that tea was made from the heather
blossoms. A German soldier, native of
SchlesW1g, now explains that thu
heather Is placed in front of particu-
larly exposed trenches and set afire on
the approach of gas clouds. The burn
ing heather heats the air which, in
expanding, disperses the poisonous
vapors, he says.

"A Subscriber" finds it a joke
when an old settler of the county
gets tired of the lax methods of
doing business in official circles
of this county--and says so. Now,
if Subscriber" will take a close
glance at the proceedings of the
board of county commissioners
for the recent January meeting
he will find III. c. Lynn, expense
in extradition Chris Krieeer,
$91.59." Yet, if law enforcement
is joke, then this bill is a joke
then the laws should be enforced
even though it cost something.
But, if it is proper to pay $91.59
to someone other than the sher-
iff for Krieger's return, isn't it
just as proper that the states at
torney show a little industry in
the prosecution of blind-pigeers?
True enough, there is one lonely
case pending for alleged infrac-
ton of the prohibition law. But
that one is onlymany of the same
ilk right in the town Of Strasburg.
Yet, the party who takes trip
to Michigan ana charges the
county $91 SO believes in saving
money for the taxpayers "by
leaving the blind-pigeers alone"
Subscriber has hit pretty near
ly the meat Of the trouble: In
certain official quarters law-en-
forcement is a joke. But draw
ing down the salary of the Office

When the Record man was

the pleasure of listening to Mr..
Bates, of the 500 immigration
department, explain the work of
colonization that he and Major
Murphy are handling for that
road. A couple of dozen of the
business men of Braddock had
been called together to listen to

plain what the 500 was doing
and what it expected to do to
bring settlers to North Dakota.

and added production means
added freight to haul. That's

Added groceries and farm ma

got in. Added financial dealings
means added business for the
banks. In fact, every new fam
lily in territory means added
business for practically every
line of business---and it means
advanced prices on land which
benefits the land-owine farmer.
The 500 Line is ready and
willing to cooperate to secure
new settlers either with land
agents, communities or any other
agency that wants to do business.
They have a moving-picture out

"A subscriber" is sorely
troubled over the fact that an
old-time Emmons county resident
saw fit to uphold the Records
stand on laW-enforcement, and
many charges and accusations
are set forth of early-day history.
The fact that certain conditions
went" in this county twenty
years ago doesn't prove them to-
be 0. K. at the present writing.
But, Subscriber" is evidently
too old a dog to learn new tricks
and thus he wonders why he
isn't a winner today. And how
about Subscriber, Jr.?" Perhaps
the siren song of the long ago as
he learned it at Subscribers"
knee is more to blame for his
present troubles than his own
desire for corruption and filth.

This week the Thompson
Yards, Inc, carries a mammoth
advertisement of their silos.
They are handling this matter
with a two-fold object: they are
anxious to build up prosperity
for our farmers and thus reap
further rewards for themselves
indirectly and they want to ad-
vertise their business. Our far
mers should dwell long and ear
nestly on this matter of silos. It
is the question that is to decide
the future of this country for
dairying will be the best-paying
business and dairying and silos
60 hand in hand. The Thompson
people have set aside $4,000 to
advance to the farmers this year.
They want silos in the neighbor-
hood of every yard. They will
reap their benefits when the
farmer gets on his feet from
dairying and when he begins to
build new houses, big barns and
the hundred and one other things
that take money----and lumber.

A fresh start is being made in
the matter of securing bids for
the deposit of county sinking
funds. Advertisement for bids is
being republished and the board
will open bids again on February
I'd. The original notice as pre-
pared by the auditor attempts to
require two things unlawful: the
payment of interest monthly in
stead of annually and the require
ment of double the amount of
surety bond to the sum from each
individual bank which it is
awarded. Wonder if "Subscri-

joke----and to see on whom the
joke is.
