COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES.
Notes From the County Superintend.
ent of Schools.

The Emmons County Chautauqua is
at Linton this week with two excel
lent programs each day, beginning at
200 o'clock and eight o'clock p. m.
At nine o'clock a. m. each day play
specialist will meet the boys and girls
and conduct play period which will
be very interesting and instructive.
We believe this chautauqua course to
be of great educational benefit to our
county and worthy of the support of
all.
There will be large enrolment of
Emmons county teachers at the Val
ley City Normal this year. Summer
school begins Wednesday, June 18th.
All of our schools are closed for the
summer vacation except ten. These
ten schools are located in localities
where the majority of the scholars are
small and better. able to attend during
warm weather.
All applications for State Aid must
be in this office by July 18th. We be-
lieve that there are a number of one
room schools in the county that are
entitled to State Aid, and would be
glad to furnish the necessary blanks
and information to any school boards

An Interested listener at both the
Strasburg and Linton N. p. "pcnics"
last Saturday was our good, old friend
George w. And he certainly must
have been convinced The next day
about the only man on the streets
wearing their campaign button was
the said George w. The motto is
We'll stitch" Don't know just who
George proposes to stick" There
was a striking resemblance, too, in the
dope about the county printing ped
died by the Spell-Bindcr Saturday
and Old George during the campaign
and afterwards Two wears ago The
dope would have listened good" too
If the district court hadn't given it
the lie in such a striking manner wien
Herr George tried the thing out at II
pretty tidy extra expense to the
county.
When George W. looks ut his cam.
paign button and sees those glowing
words, well stick" does the thought
enter ms mind that he refers to either
he or his family connecting up to the
states attorneys salary? You be,
the Lynn family will stck-as long as
they can get the votes, and the At
torney General makes opportune mis-
takes in initiating removal proceed
lngs.

THE LEAGUES DREAM.

A number of years ago musical
comedy ditty ran something like this:
whats the use Of dreaming, dreams
of rosy hue. What's the use of
dreaming, dreams that never could
come true. You are worth q million:
there is not doubt--then your.
pipe goes out" This song ought to be
the official song of the N. p. League.
The farmers have been promised
things that never could come true.
And the clinching argument appears
on the N. P. campaign button. 1t
says, well stick"
Frazer is the candidate for. COVER
nor. He says he hasn't any expert
encc in public life to fit him for gov
ernor, but he can "slop the hogs" In
spite Of such mush it becomes neces-
sary to vote for him to show that
well stick"
Robinson is to go on the supreme
bench. He is known at Fargo as
alf-baked," to use slangy express
sion. He would add dignity to our
highest state tribunal by campaigning
for the office with a cow-bell to call
the crowd together. But it has to be
Robinson for "we'll stick" is the
watch-word
! Birdscll is to be another judge. He's
the gent that wanted permission to
act as a member of the University
faculty and at the same time be dep
uty U. S. attorney. But, then, don't
forget "we'll stick"
Kraabel for lieutenant governor
He served once as lieutenant governor
and was beaten hands down for re-
election on his record. But what's in
a record when the N. P. bosses shout
well stick"
| Kositzky the next state auditor OF
course, this gent is the acme of per.
lection in pulling political wires. He
holds job for Burleigh county and
one for the state. When he serves
the county he gets his pay from Bur.
Highland charges the state bonus
of $166 for every day he isn't in the
service of the state. well stick
ought to elect him, though. b
I Hall has been sucking away since
the memory of man runneth not tt

other. He is advertised as plain
Tom Hall and is one of the worst ia
vorite-players that ever held job il
:. the capitol building. But what's thu
difference so long as well stick"
Then don't forget Boss Harding
He doesn't respect the compulsor,
school law. Maybe he'd like to ge
eletced so as to repeal the same. L
Harding is to get elected, it's simpl,
because well stick" Some recon-
mendation, truly.

Today there are some of the far
mcrs that think they are sore at the
Record on account of the N. P. bus
mess. Some of them n year ago were
commencing us for honesty, fearless
ness and energy in bucking the blind
piggers. Others year ago were
touchy because they conceived the
idea that the Record was trying to de-
privc them of their right to a drink
now and then. Many Of these are
now thanking us for letting go at the
galaxy of grafters that are fleeing
the farmers of North Dakota out of q
few hundred thousand dollars of easy
money. It's all in lifetime There
will be many and many another com
plication come up as the years go by
If we live, we'll continue to "buck the
game" with the same determination
And we'll see the day when some Of
our denouncers will be taking US b,
the hand in token of their belief O.
our sincerity. No human being is in
fallible. But We'll always try to max,
a years subscription to the EN-
mons County Record worth dollar
and half. That's our motto.

Some weeks ago the Record charg-
ed the N. p. organizer, Meyer, with
getting drunk and making fool of
himself. The Spell Binder Saturday
took his hearers into his confidence
and conitlcntially informed them that
they had investigated the charges and
that there was no truth to them.
Our answer: Any man who will call
at the Record Office will be given the
names Of at least eight persons who
can swear that the fellow was drunk,
and Gloriously drunk, at that. In
fact, he was so maudlin that while
waiting at the telephone office to get
the Record man on the wire at the
Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1916-06-22

Next week before another issue of
the Record is printed, will see the end
of one Of the strangest election cam
paigns that ever took place in the
state. That smooth graft has been
worked and that it will be considerab-
ly successful at the polls looks likely.
In politics the man that will tell any
thing, promise anything, claim any
thing that comes in his head, should
get the votes. Such person can tell
the voters the things they like. The
other demonstrating to the truth
can't make it quite so dreamy and
beautiful. The Record has bucked
the takers with all it's might. And
Emmons county will likely give a
better account of itself than many
counties in the state. Wen admit
that we feared the results of our at
titudc on this issue even more than
our opening up on the blnd-pig ring.
Results have shown, however, that we
had little to fear. Despite terrif-
iic effort to get our farmer readers
to stop their paper, nothing of the
kind has been accomplished. On the
other hand, we have been successful
in warning at least two hundred and
i perhaps four hundred of our readers
in time to save them their nine dol
lars. From every part of the county
we have received words of thanks
from farmers who really wanted facts
instead of fantastic promises. The
man who declares that the Record i.
"bucking the farmers" is either a fool
or a little bit worse. The farmers
are citizens of this state just the same
as any other class. They are entitled
to the same respect. The Record
will do what it can do lcgitimately
for them. The Record can not be
purchased by "big interests" nor by
the takers that organized the non.
partisan league. No man can buy on,
editorial policy nor can any man o,
set of men dictate it by threatening
to take away our trade. We have
some bitter enemies among the far.
mers. We have some bitter enemies
among the business classes. Anc
our best friends are to be found ii
the ranks of both. And we suffered
tenfold more by bucking the blind
pig ring in this county than we have
done by bucking the grafters manip
ulating the N. P. league.

TO THE FRIENDS OF GOOD GOV
EMINENT.

This is the last week before the
primary election. There will be no
more issues before you vote. There
is u very important matter which the
voters of the county should watch.
Elmer d. Foglc is attempting an
| eleventh. hour trick to win the nomi-
nation for clerk Of court in four
corncrcd fight.
Several weeks ago we stated in both
| the columns of the Record and of the
| News that Foglc furnished informa-
ton to the grain-thicf. Pcttis, by
which the latter narrowly missed
making good his escape before the
officers of the law could get him.
Mr.. Foglc demanded n rctraction.
| He got none.
Instead Of starting libel suit up
on our failure to retract he has been
as silent as clam until just before
election. In fact, his libcl-suit bus
mess is to be sprung when there is no
chance to take up the matter before
the vote is cast.
Foglc has everything to win and
nothing to lose in the lbcl-suit
scheme. If he starts n suit and loses
in court next wintcr-hc will either
have the Office or he will not by that
time 1t isn't very expensive to start
a lawsuit, only one of the minor Incl
dents of the campaign.
Don't be mislcd.
We are ready to prove Fogle's con-
ncction with the Pcttis affair.
pcttis admitted in his trial that he
tried to escape because he had been
warned that he was wanted for steal
ing wheat or words to that effect.
We are prepared to prove that Fo-
gle knew what was up when the com.
planning witness in the Pcttis case
came to Linton to get warrant. We
are prepared to prove that shortly
thereafter he tclcphoned to Braddock
and paid dollar messenger fee tc
talk to Pctts, that shortly after the
talk Pcttis hikcd across the kiddcl
county line and hired an automobile
to take him to Steele, and that Foglc's
call was the only one that Pettis re.
ccvcd during the intervening time.
The above is only part of the ev'
idcncc which we have. We give il
simply to explain to our readers thu
facts.
We have more conclusive evidence
even, which we do not care to disclose
until the actual trial-should there
ever be one.
There is nothing in it for us wheth
or Foglc wins or loses. Our interests
are only those of the taxpayers.
l'oglc has forfeited all consideration
Of the voters of this county. Thu
Pcttis affair was an outrage. Fogle'
promises have been like chaff befor
the wind. If they would only rc-clec
him two years ago, it was all h
wanted He knew the salary of tn
Office and it was enough for him
But, just the same, he has bee
bridge contracting, sand contracting
and pretty much everything else.
If the people of this county ever ex
pect to place politics on little highe
scale of square dealing and honesty
right now is the time they should reg
lister vote against Fogle.

Testing tile Future.

With the exception Of All Saints day
there is no time in the whole twelve
month about which so many supersti-
tons cluster. as New Years. Some
form OF divmatiOn to foretel the fu-
ture il practical IN almost every land
on Jan. /. This. Of course, Is gen.
orally the case with young people who
desire to know whether they will get
married during the coming year or
soon thereafter. In the country dis
tricts OF England and Germany there
Is a tea and coffee test which Is most
satisfactory A teaspoon Is balanced
carefully on the edge Of II cup. Then
tea or coffee. as the case may be-. Is
dropped into II drop by drop. Every
drop that the spoon win hold without
losing its balance means another year
before the wedding. one or two large
drops will usually upset the spoon. and
so this Is very popular way OF look
ing into the future
