''First live, afterward philosophize"
This is saying as old as the sages of
Rome and as practical as the builders of
its empire. It means that we must pro-
cure the means of living before we think
of the accessory needs of life. To live is
essential, while more than that may, in
case OF necessity, be dispensed with.
That old proverb of the Latin ls as ap.
plicable to community, town, or state
as to the individual. Not wishing to talk
around the bush, I will go straight to
my aim. What needs our good town of
Pembina. Is it beauty? Well, I think
nature and the God of nature has given
this town more Of that than any place in
North Dakota. Pembina. here I mean
the collection Of good citizens of our
town. need to live first above any thing
else. To make living one has of course
to use his brain and hands, in fact all
and every one of his souls faculties and
body's po xers. The citizens Of Pembina
it matters mot what creed or nationality
they are, should be united and work
energetically for the welfare, the essen
tial we'll being of the city. The citizens
should, at certain times have general
meetings in the city hall, not to philo
soph ze, OF to attend dance, or listen to
fowery speech, or melodious music, or
to gaze on the screen to see bull fight
or love story. but to be practical and to
talk on the essentials of the town, each
one to have the right to express his
ideas and to make suggestions if he has
any, for the good of the public generally.
With a few exceptions we are all here
in town to make our living and to make
it we depend upon each other. There
fore we must be united, in union lies
our strength. By the exceptions, I
mean those citizens who have made
their money here and are fair enough to
spend it where they made it. Some of
US are merchants, I dare say that our
stores can complete with any stores IN
the country. Why then spend our
money somewhere else before we favor
our own business houses? Our hotels
depend, in order to make living, on
boarders and travellers Why then
should there be among us people who
doom the existance of the hotel by open
ing their homes to travellers and board.
ers? We have here our vacant court
house. Let US as loyal, unselfish citi
zens meet, discuss and suggest ways and
means where by that fine building can
be utilized for the benefit of Pembiua
and its inhabitants. Jealousy born from
a selfish heart prevents much good, but
a good jealousy in the heart of each man
and women in Pembina will bring new
life and new strength into US all. Penn.
bina first, should be our cry and un.
doubtedly Pembina would grow and
flourish. Its happy inhabitants, being
sure of their living, will enjoy more of
the accessory needs. We may philo-
sophie after we live comfortably.

WEATHER..

December and January OF this year
together we're the coldest average foe
about thirty, five years and February,
when the records are footed, is likely to
keep about the same average. While
we have had little of extreme cold this
month yet on the other hand we have
had few warm days and only few in
which the snow has softened in the sun
in protected places While the snow
fall has not been quite so great as last
winter yet at the present we have con
siderably more snow on the ground than
usual.
This continuous cold has made us use
fuel in larger quantities than usual and
consequently added to the H. G. L,
But we live in hopes Naturally SO.
much preceding cold should porlend a
let.up in the succeeding months. and as
consequence warm and favorably
spring. This not intended as prophesy
but as probability only.
The only positive prophesy that a
long residence in this climate permits
is, that about the first ten days of Jan
uary in each year we may expect some
rather cool weather and that about the
same days of July we will not need over
coats
People who live at distance, pity
North Dakotans because they think we
are all winter in about the same state as
the frogs and in constant fear of death
from freezing. Their pity is entirely
misplaced as they don't get on to the
trouble with onr winters. The winters
of North Dakota so far as personal sensa-
tlons are concerned are far pleasanter
than the winters of the middle states.
Ourcold weather gives health and vigor
and we have no dampness to make our.
selves or surroundings uncomfortable or
unpleasant. y,
The real trouble with North Dakota
winters is that they are too long and
that they cost to much. Too long be-.
cause they make the summer too short
and too expensive because it costs too
much to keep warm. We need a little
more time in which to put in and grow
our crops, and the necessary warm cloth
ing and the fires to feed with $lI. coal
take lots Of money.
But we do keep warm and we pay the
bills from the crops that we raise even
If the summer Is little short; and when
it comes to health and vlgor we would
only like the opportunity of matching
any set or number Of school ,hlldren
from this cold country with an equal
number from any other state in the
Union. We believe tnat the North Oak
.ota kids would show just the same
superiority in physique as does our No.
! hard wheat, and largely for the same
climatic reasons.

US. Destroyer Hit
BY English Vessel
Collision Declared Unavoidable
and No Blame attached
to Either One.
ipz Annotated Pre.u.l

WASHING TON, October Am
American destroyer in European waters
recently was in collision with a Brit
ish naval vessel. which, after taking
on the American crew. towed the dis
abled destroyer safely to port. In an
nouncing the collision to-day. the Navy
Department said no ono was injured
aboard the American destroyer, and
that tho vessel since had been re-
paired and restored to active duty.
An official inquiry developed that
the collision was unavoidable, the yes
sells having come together during a
heavy rainstorm. No blame was placed
on either the American or the British
vessel.
The following Official statement was
issued:
IAN American destroyer, operating
in European waters. was severely
damaged in a night collision with a
British naval vessel. After the acct
dent the British ship stood by, took
on part OF the destroycr's crew, and
towed her into port. No one aboard
either ship was injured, and the de-
stroyer has since been repaired and
returned to active service.
AN Investigating board of naval Of
fcers found that the accident was due
to the fact that the destroyer suddenly
emerged from heavy rainstorm, which
made her invisible almost up to the
moment of the collision. 1t was, there
fore, decided that no blame be attached
to either vessel"
