POOR START OFF FOR LEAP YEAR

The marriage record of Judge
Bleakley at the court house shows
that one lone license is the sum total
of applications for wedding permits
ISSUED during the past week, which is
indeed a very bad start off for 1916,
especially in consideration Of the fact
that this is leap year. Yesterday af-
ternoon a license was issued out of
The county court to William D. Isaac
and Miss Annie Unger, both of the
parties to the contract residing in the
vicinity of Munich. The year 1915
shows a total of "a marriage licenses
Issued in this county against 1O2 in
the previous year, 1914. 1t is up to
the girls to show whether there is to
be a falling off or increase in the
matrimonial harvest of 1916, seeing
that this is leap year.

Program for Mid-Winter Farmers Convention
Includes Many Prominent Men

The signs from week to week point
t-t the three days farmers convention
81 be held in Langdon on February
9Th, Sth, and 9th as being one of the
most interesting and successful events
ever held in this city by its people
Cor the entertainment and enjoyment
Of its friends and out of town neigh
bors from owe the county. The con-
vention of this year in its careful at

and improve in many ways upon ar
engagements which made the conven-
ton of last year such a popular affair.
Prof. Haw, who is one of the lead.
ing spirits in the work of getting the
conventions program into shape, says
that the speakers who will be here to
address the various sessions during
the three days are all men right from

long distance to hear.

of the subject of animal husbandry at
the agricultural college will give two
lectures about sheep raising. His
subjects are, 1.-The Stubble Feeding
of Sheep in North Dakota and the

of the Clay county, Mimi, potato
.,rou,aru ,ccocio+io, will loo+,r, a.I
give demonstrations on the most pre-
valent diseases met with by the potato
grower. He will bring with him for
the purpose of demonstrating. a bush
el of potatoes affected with several of
the diseases more COMMON in this part
of the country.
Miss Julia Newton, Of the home
economics department at Fargo agri-
cultural college, will be here through
the convention and have charge and
address the meeting to which the
wives of farmers are invited to attend.
AS a figure.head to the program of
the convention Mr.. Haw feels he has
been more than fortunate in securing
Or. V. C. Cudd, the travelling lectur.
er of the Kansas City veterinary col
iege who is a high authority on dis
eases of the horse. DR.. Cudd will be
here two days giving demonstrations
and lectures.
The above are but few of the head
Zines on the program which will be

This has been q good season for one
half Of the people Of this country, so
to speak, to learn chow the other half
lives" Tens and tens Of thousand,
have passed their holidays travelling in
America instead of going abroad. AL
though the scenery has charm sutfi-
Gent to absorb all thought and atten-
ton, even that could not be reached
without coming face to face with that
homely country life which is the foun-
dalton of our national development.
The people met with in the farm and
mountain cottage and at the village
market place and tavern are the one
whose thoughts and wishes, backed by
votes, oftimes sway our political des-
TIMES, to the dismay Of city dwellers.
Less and less as the years go by will it
be true that the big cities sway the
country. Country folks are naturally
drawn to the city once or twice a year
and learn their lesson. If city folks re-
turn the visits and profit by them there
must arise q better understanding be-
tween the two elements.
The sudden subsistence of the Rus
sian duma, or national assembly. at
the command of the czar is believed
by the believers in Russian progress to
be only temporary. 1t is said to be Il
political necessity due to a war crisis.
The bureaucracy and the legislators
are at var with each other. but the
autocracy, which is the car and his
counselors, is supposed to cooperate
with the aims of the duma. At pres
ent it seems that the car has his hands
full in combating the bureaucracy,
which is charged with the i'll success
of the Russian arms. A sweeping Rus
sian victory ovc Germany is expected
to give more power to the elbow of
the autocracy and curtail the power of
the bureaucracy. Then Russian patri-
OTIS may rejoice.

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 29.-All the
sleuths in this neck of the woods, pro-
fessional and amateur alike, are
dreaming of mysterious military spy
with double horseshoe scar on his
left cheek, and a reward of $55, 900
which they may obtain, if they sue
coed in capturing him and securing
the return of "the papers"
For several days a mysterious ad.
yertisement has been appearing in this
section, signed by man named Ralph
Payne, who says that The man disap-
peared from Washington just after q
package of internationally important
documents was taken from my room,
has been traced to this section of the

But while good many detectives
are working on it in good faith, it is
whispered that they have been hoaxed,
and that the mystery is no mystery at
all, but mere movie stunt or some
thing like It.

BARNES SAYS WATSON'S
CHARACTER GOOD"

AUGUSTA, Ca, Nov. 29.-The trial
of Thomas E. Watson, charged with
sending obscene literature through the
mails continued to occupy the district
federal court here today, much of the
testimony adduced by the defense be-
ing that of character witnesses. John
NJ. Barnes, former postmaster at
Thomson, Ga, where Watson resides,
testified that the defendants character
as a writer was exceptionally good, \
and as man good"
Former Governor Joseph NJ. Brown,
Of Marietta, is here to testify at the
trial of Watson, and a number of
prominent personages from various
parts of Georgia are also here to give
testimony in the case. Most of the
yic;tors have been summoned by the
defense, and will be introduced as
character witnesses.
Watson continued today to act as his
own counsel, and no further clashes

Woman Named
1t TurReu
Day

ATLANTA, Nov. 29.-One of the
Thanksgiving turkeys biggest feath-
ers must be stuck in the cap of lovely
woman, say Atlanta sucragettes, who
have just discovered, or claim to dis
cover that it was woman who gave
America it Thanksgiving day in pres
ent form. ..
This estimable lady was Sara jose
pha Hale, editor of the now long ex-
tinct "Godey's Ladies Book" in which
our grandmammams read the latest
styles in hoops and pantalettes.
1t is stated that prior to the admin
istration of President Lincoln, the
American Thanksgiving day was a
badly muddled affair, celebrated dif-
ferently in some states and in others
not at all. Mrs Hale was given the
job of bringing order out of chaos,
and with the aid of President Lincoln,
it is said, succeeded in getting the
day nationally established and nation
ally celebrated on the present basis.

FIRE SYSTEM To
Be IMPROVED IN
ASSETS FOR CITY

The first step to place Americus on
firm basis as a protection againsf
hre and establish the just reason for
better insurance rates, was made by
the Mayor and City Council last night
at their regular semi-monthly meeting.
The proposed betterments are:
A new 1000 gallon motor pumping
engine.
The Gamewell fire alarm system.
An additional pump at the pumpiaa
station.
Four additional firemen at the ctr
hall
This necessary equipment is estiu,af-
ed at cost of $4,000 to be paid for
during period of five years. WIth
the installation of these features, an
estimate is made that the citizens viii
have between $4,000 and $4,000 a year
en- fire insurance premiums-and the
smouldering war between the people
and the Southeastern Underwriters as
sociation will be patched up on peace
torms.
The Mayor and City Council take the
position that the new additions are
necessary, and although they demand
considerable outlay of money, it m
essential that the city be protected.
Among those present at the regular
meeting were: A. B. Jenkins, of the
Southeastern Underwriters assoc1s-
tion; c. B. Payne, of the LaFrance Fire
Engine Company, and Charles Bersf, OF
the Gamewell Fire Alarm system.
Mr.. Jenkins, of the underwriters, as
sured the city fathers that material
reduction in premiums would be af-
forded by the proposed improvements
in the city fire department.
The betterment of the fire depart
ment in the city was forecast in The
Times s-Recorder yesterday, in an artf-

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-As a result of
the agitation and boycott instituted by
women composing the National House
wives league, and other agencies here
the wholesale price of cold storage
eggs today was from one TO two Genus
dozen lower than yesterday. The
demand for them was said in many
quarters to be practically nil.
Dealers who continued to handle the
storage eggs, asked from thirty-four ts
trirty-eight cents per dozen for them.
while quotations on fresh country eggs
continued unchanged at sixty-thres
cents per dozen, and extremely light
sales reported Retailers as well as
consumers have expressed sympathy
with the boycott. which now promises
tc become nationwide, and to act as
a sustained protest against high
prices OF toodstuffs. alleged to have
teen caused by manipulations of spec
ulators.
Women working to discourage the
use of eggs by New York housewives
today instituted an endless chain Of
telephone calls in furtherance Of the
movement. This chain began with Ons
woman calling twenty-five othe wc-
men to request that none of them Use
eggs at prevailing prices, and to ask
each of these to call twenty-five or her
friends, with asimilar request. Before
neon, the chain had spread SO as tn

pated that before Saturday every We
