vent Of leap year, but will inspire them
to extra efforts to rescue the men from
their decline. Such an effort would go
far to disengage them from the sorry
fact imputed to them by this scientific
authority.
AS to the men, we are justified in the
conclusion that the decline is rather
mental than physical, and is exhibited
in the face of a prevalent idea that cell
bacy is itself noble destiny, to offset
which the unmarried men should rec.
ognize all the tenders of the fair, when
they come in the form Of bushes and
smiles that are the more tempting Of
fers of marriage because they are in
spired by modesty and gentility. Don't
care what the scientists say. The men
are all right, but they are simply detl-
cient in the understanding Of their
golden opportunities.

It's WORKING

Last week the Valley City Courier
had lengthy article signed "A B. C"
admittedly one of the eligible leap
year candidates of the male persua-
sion. The Times-Record seems indt
rectly to be in disfavor, and what was
intended by that paper to produce a
state of blissful anticipation evidently
produced the opposite. In conclusion
the girls are equally blamed for such
a large prevalence of celibacy, and
the writer declares they have the same
old wiles for catching suckers, and
intimates that something new should
be sprung. Our advice is that he
should hear Mike Englert's story,
''Something New" which also relates
to the women.

Mother Of R. B. Cox Dead
in Canada at Age Of 81

The following obituary of Mrs. Cath
crime Cox, mother of r. B. Cox of
Wimbledon. is taken from the Signal
of Goderich, Ontario, Canada.
After an illness extending over a
period of II months, the spirit of
Catherine Mclean. widow of the late
Samuel Cox, took it's flight on Tues
day. Mrs. Cox was born at DUNCAN
non Ulster province, Ireland on
March 13, 1884. When child of six
she came with her parents to Canada
and settled n Goderich township. On
Oct. 10, 1858, she was married to Sam
uel Cox, who died II years ago. The
coupled continued to reside in Code.
rich township until 1889. when they
removed to Goderich. Of the union
IL children were born II of whom are
still living. They are Miss Cox of
Goderich; Edward J. and VIM. M. of
Rapid City, S. d.; Mrs. Welsh of Far
go, N. D.; R. B. of Wimbledon, N. D.;
Wilson of Walhollow, N. D.; George
M. Of Manchester, England European
representative of the Gordon, Mackay
Co., Toronto); Mrs. Westoby of Mil

Inscription, $3.50 a Year. in Advance
OFFICIAL PAPER

Through the courtesy and foresight
of the county commissioners the
Times-Record will be the county seat
official paper for the year 1916. For
this recognition we intend to give a
service which no other Barnes county
paper could do. The Times-Record
has by far the largest subscription list,
and it's readers are not confined to any
one part or section of the county.
The whole county is we'll covered, CIV
ing publicity of county matters in ev-
cry village and township.
Every year the awarding of official
papers comes up before the board, and
under the present system, it is a hard
ship for the commissioners to satisfy
eleven legal papers with three plums.
The state association of county COM
missioners held their annual meeting
in this city last week, and among the
topics considered was that of legisla-
ton affecting county affairs. They
will have a legislative committee at
Bismarck when the next legislature
meets, and we believe they should
work for something to supersede the
present law covering the appointment
of official papers.
A more equitable procedure would
be to appoint county seat paper that
would give the best service (not be.
cause the Times-Record happens to be
that in Barnes county, and have this
paper furnish the proceedings and
legal notices in supplement form to
all the other legal papers. 1t could
be done at slight advance over the
present cost, and would give thorough
publicity.
In this way every paper in the
county would participate and would be
receiving something every year in
stead of larger something once IN
while or sometimes not at all. Then
the court calendar, tax lists and job
printing could be apportiOned to the
plants that were equipped to do the
work in satisfactory manner.
AS it is now there is continual fric-
ton, with the losers acquiring a we'll
founded crouch. Usually the commits
sioners try to be fair, but until there
is remedy for the present system
there will continue to be agitation and
dissatisfaction.
