the rest of the summer at home.
Mrs. H. J. Hanson and daughters
Hattie and Clara, were county seat
visitors on Saturday.
T. D. Acheson spent the week end
at the home Of his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. James Acheson of near West
hope.
Lloyd Lillestrand, accompanied by
the Misses Sarah and Louise Lilies
trand and Miss Hattie Hanson, were
callers at the Thos. Christensen home
Sunday afternoon.
Ole Gorder has been down to his
farm several times the past week.
In the last issue of the Westhope
Standard editor Drake took special
notice of T. D. Acheson and claims he
is the correspondent from Eidsvold
township for the Courant. Taking for
granted that MI. Drake is right in
his surmises, Mr.. Acheson has not
written anything that he need be
ashamed Of in defending Mr.. Rishof
from the petty attacks of the Souris
Messenger. You know the truth hurts
some people pretty badly. 1t is plain
to see that the truth has hurt Mr..
Drake and that he has rushed to the
defense of his slandered and out
ragged brethren. The writer from
Eidsvold has never said anything a.
bout Drake OF his paper but since he
mas started the ball rolling the writer
can keep it rolling as long as Drake.
Since Drake has tried to help Garden
so much perhaps he could avail him
self of the opportunity to debate Ach-
eson on that proposition. We all hope
that Mr.. Drake will try some of the
debating work and let Mr.. Acheson
meet him in a fair and mannerly fash
ion.
Having seen in the Roth News that
some people were worrying their

was busy with "diversifed" farming
and also with the laying of the foun-
dation for the worlds constitution. We
ought to thank our lucky stars that
Jerry Bacon was not there to buck
him.
