~Where the West Begins"

son Recorder Post, in an editorial in
his newspaper printed in the ZAP
probation week" number stated that
out here is where the west begins"
A portion of his editorial follows:
1--WE rate men at their real value.
not by the superficial standards of
society, nor by thee size of their
bank roll. We have few inmates in
the county jail, and few prisoners in
the penitentiary.
Climate Is a Delight
"Our climate is delight. In sum-
mer it attracts the scorched dwellers
of other states. Il When winter comes
you know what to depend upon. 1t
doesn't freeze you to the gizzard one
day and the next warm up to thaw
the roads into an impossible bog. We
have cold weather at the right time
of the year. There are no muggy
days, no dreary fogs in North Da-
kota's glorious winters, the moisture
freezes out of the air and deposits
in snowi and frost ;Isinking into the
ground at the gradual approach OF
spring, and preparing the. land for
crop. -. o*s Dickinson lies in
those northern parallels which have
produced the hardy, progressive races
of the world"
Mixing With a Few
Suppose we just mix with few OF
the Dickinson people and learn their
business and what they are doing to
build up the Queen City of the Prai-
ries" until it will become one of the
largest towns on the Slope, And that
destination is not far away.
