Apples Should Change
His Idea Of Our State

LaMoure Echo: Jacob Mattson,
who resides in Wright township in
Dickey county, just few miles south
Of LaMoure, last week, shipped some
apples to Mama, Fla, to the father of
Mrs Richards, wife of the better farm
ing expert of Dickey county.
Mr.. Mattson has one of the best or
chards in this part of the country, and
had products of his horticultural ef-
forts on exhibition at the show in
Cakes. While in Cakes he met Mrs.
Richards, who marveled at his display.
my father lives in Florida and is
always writing and telling me that he
would not come to this part of the
country, much less live here" she told
Mr.. Mattson, because he says they
raise no fruit nor anything so very
good to eat out here. He affirms its
too cold to raise anything but snow,
balls and icicles."
"Just wait until after this exhibi.
ton, and I'll send him some OF the
apples I've raised, and we will prove
to him that we can raise as good
fruit way up here at the edge of the
north pole as there is down in Flor
ida," Mr.. MattsOn replied.
So last week, with that in mind, he
forwarded to the Florida gentleman, a

Rexan Stores Called
Election Turn Neatly

President Wilson's victory at the
polls Tuesday is a striking verifcation
of the prediction made by this news
paper long before election day.
Three weeks ago, the 5000 members
of the Rexall Druggists association,
Of which the Dakota Drug Co. is a
member, began to take straw vote
Of their customers. The members of
the association being scattered all
over the United States, were able to
reach 951,396 voters drawn from all
walks of life. It was the biggest straw
vote ever taken and was made posi-

the organization.
made special arrangements with Mr..
Sigurdson, of the Dakota Drug Co., a
member Of the Rexall Druggists as
sociation in Valley City, to publish the
returns from the straw vote.
The druggists throughout the coun-
try mailed or telegraphed the results
Of the votes cast by their customers
to the national headquarters of thir
organization in Boston. There the
votes were tabulated and the results
Of the balloting from all the states
were announced by daily bulletins
mailed from Boston and which were
posted in the 5000 ReXall stores, and
published simultaneously in the lead
ing newspapers of the country.
The first straw vote bulletin, sent
out Oct 26, showed Wilson in the lead.
The second bulletinn, issued Oct. e.,
showed Hughes in the lead by one
electoral vote. From that date each
and every bulletin recorded steady
gains for Wilson, both in the popular
and the electoral vote.
The final straw vote, dated Nov. 6,
gave Wilson 554,50O popular votes
against $685. for Hughes. On cleo
toral vote Wilson received 299 and
Hughes 1872 of the 266 necessary to

This nationwide straw vote deriv-

Believes Regiment will Be
Mustered Out This Month

Grand Forks, Nov. 8.-That the
North Dakota national guard will be
mustered out during this month, is the
belief of Captain A. G. Wineman form
erly of Company NJ, who arrived in
Grand Forks last evening to spend the
next two weeks as the guest of his par
ents, Attorney and Mrs. J. B. Wine
man. That the date of disbanding is
entirely problematic is also the con-
tention of Captain Wineman, who de-
clares that the conditions on the bord-
er, will alone regulate the date of the
mastering out.
Captain Wineman will leave in two
weeks for San Francisco where on
Dec. he will sail for the Philippines
ca board the United States transport
General Thomas, where he will be con-
nected with the government service.
