In the course Of campaign in Eng

Of children and sparrow clubs" were
solicited. Bad results were the conse-
quence, since little discrimination was
used, and every sort of small bird
was mistaken for the prescribed spar
row, and thousands Of useful insect
eating birds were destroyed. so that
exactly the opposite Of what was In
tended was accomplished.

COUNTY AGENT NOTES.

All who are interested in the ag-
ricultural development Of the county
are requested to be present in the OPP
ra house in Linton Tuesday Oct. 22d
at / o'clock where the farm bureau
will be thoroughly explained and steps.
to preliminary Organization taken.
The farm bureau is similar in it's
workings to the farmers unions and
clubs so general throughout the state
a few years ago but much more com
prehensiive. It comprises the whole
county as unit. It is governed by
an executive committee Of from five
to seven members each of whom has.
en- special project such as livestock
marketing seed grain etc. to look af-
ter.
Each township has at least two CO.
operators who make the needs of
their community known through the
county agent to the executive COM
mittse. An illustration may m,,,.e
this clearer:
Surnose that in Daken township
hay is very scarce yes desperately
80; people must either buy hay ors
t,len s.,.A. me cooperators report
this to the county agent Wi
ately takes the matter up with the
members Of the executive committee
who has charge of such matters. We,
find that plenty of good hay can be
had in Mcintosh county MINI. at say
s14. 90 per ton f. o. b. We inform
the cooperators of same. They find
out how many tons or cars are need
ed. The county agent orders the
amount.
The same course or similar course
may be taken with other projects as
grass seeds purs bred dairy cattle etc.
In this way the county agent work
is directed by the farm bureau and the
agent becomes in reality the county
agent i. e. he carries ouy or performs
the work laid out to him by the far
mers of the county. Every township
every community will receive equal
attention and service.
Mr.. E. W. Hall of the extension
department at Fargo will conduct the
meeting. We have ordered couple
Of reels on practical agricultural top
les that will be shown during the
meeting. Come and bring your wife
too!
About two thousand BUSHES Of good
seed corn Emmons county farmers
will have for sale next spring.
Threshers' reports for September
show an average crop of 8lk bushels
per acre.
We have been very busy this month
in advising as to seeds of various
kinds for this falls and next springs
sowing also with ra~ard to rure bred
livestock and in so doing We have dis
covered the farmers very often send
away off somewhere for things they
could have bought but few, miles
away for about half the cost. We
hav pure bred stock raisers right here
in this county. We also have alfalfa
broom grass and best corn growers
in the state etc. etc. We will be
pleased to advise you of these.

HOLIDAY SEASON IN ITALY
Or. Grenfeli Of Labrador Fame
Explains Christmas observances
in the Sunny Land.

Travellers visiting Rome while it
was still the center Of land of peace,
found Christmas there a day Of joy.
BUSINESS; and the merry bells of many
churches, ushering in the day, spoke
the familiar language Of home.
Just before the war, Or. Grenfell,
of Labrador fame, INDUCED in the
unusual luxury Of brief holiday in
Europe, after years of tireless service
among the fishermen. His journey
brought him and Mrs. Grenfell to
Rome just as the many religious and
civil observances of the Christmas
season were about to take place.
The decorations, the greetings, and
the crowds flocking In and out of
churches, emphasized the spirit o., the
season. "All the places of worship iuto
which we peeped," he says. "were
ablaze with lights, while professions
Of priests in glittering robes. with so
norous choruses and ascending incense,
appealed to the various senses"
. At one church they viewed the five
boards believed to have formed part
Of the cradle Of our Lord.
The American Episcopal Church of
st. Paul. where they worshiped on
Christmas morning, was crowded with
the Protestant population of the Holy
City. A feature Of the service was the

CHRISTMAS OF LONG AGO
Poignant Pangs Come instead Of
Peace, as Season Causes Thoughts
of the Past.

Christmas, singularly enough for a
festival that is supposed to celebrate
JOY, is characterized by sadness. The
time Of year, which is supposed to be
fraught with good cheer, Is laden with
pain. Instead of peace, there are ex-
perienced poignant pangs.
Nor is 1t cynicism which says so:
the average man in the street will tell
you the same. Neither is Grabbed age
sponsor for the crotchets of the time |;
unless, indeed, grabbed age begins in
this hurried era when a man passes
his majority. Nor is the tragic contrast
between the cloud, which now for the
fifth Christmas darkens Europe and
the world, and the bright star Of Beth.
lehem the reason for the somber tone
that sounds beneath the gay notes Of
the season, as the deep diapason Of the
organ rolls beneath the ripping mel
ody. No; it is none Of these things
which imparts to Christmas the SOM
berness which Is apparent to every.
body who has passed into years of ma-
turity.
It's memory that does 1t. Memory
plays tricks with us on these days.
Perhaps more than on any other holi-
day our minds revert to ChristmaseS
that used to be. We like to- think about
it; we like to read the Christmas
Carol, because 1t puts in everlasting
words the emotion of gladness which
used to dominate that day. No mat
ter how humble the home, memory
paints it in wonderful colors on this
ono day, from the time we jumped
from the warm bed long before dawn
and scampered across the cold floor
to get the stocking which somehow
had been stuffed during the night, to
the end of the plethoric home festival.
when, candy-smeared and filed to the
point of repletion we were rescued
from the wreck Of toys and packed
wearily off to sleep, more or less
troubled with painful suggestions Of
turkey and mince pie.
There is only one thing that can
make Christmas real to grown-up,
and that is to do something for some
body who cannot pay 1t back. That
otherism is. we begin to suspect, the
thing which dominated the Christmas
es that used to be and made them SO
real that they remain warm in mem
ory. Unless you would have memory
become dry specter, you yourself
must make real for little. children OF
the now the pictures which memory
conjures up for you Of the ChristInases
that used to be.-Saturday Globe.

,dedicating Of a beautiful new mosaic,
covering one entire wall Of the church.
Of the Coliseum, says DR.. Grenfell,
1--WE could think of no place better to
suggest to our minds the communion
Of the saints; and as we walked
round the tiers Of seats we could see
again the men Of like passions with
ourselves giving their lives for the
same Master we claim to serve"

This was three days before Christ
mas. Bobby who was very watchful
detected his mother smuggling in cer-
tain packages. This puzzled him, for
his mamma had told him there would
be no gifts this year and he did not
expect any except what Santa Claus
would bring. Bobby asked his moth
er if what she brought in was intend
ed for Christmas, but she gave him
no satisfaction, though she took him
In her arms and gave him bear hug
and a dozen kisses. She seemed as
happy as If she expected Santa Claus
to bring everything she wanted for
Christmas. 49,
The day before Christmas mes
senger boy came with telegram for
Mrs. Sawyer. She tore off the envel-
ope and read 1t, and looked very hap
py, giving the messenger a half dol
lar. Bobby asked what the telegram
was about. She told him it was about
Christmas gift she and all the rest
Of the family were to receive, and
when Bobby kept asking again and
again "What is it rhamma?" she gave
him another bear hug and smothered
him with kisses.
Bobby had sister, Edith, twelve
years old, and brother Jim, ten. Both
of them were too old to sympathize
with Bobby in his faith in Santa Claus
bringing him the gift he had promised
him in his letter. Indeed they didn't
believe Santa Claus really wrote let
ters to children. Bobby tried his best
to get out of Edith or Jim what made
their mother SO happy, but they would
not tell. Indeed they seemed almost
as happy as she. Having failed with
them Bobby tried Peter the postman.
Peter said he suspected Santa Claus
had something to do. with the family
happiness, but he was not sure. So
poor Bobby was obliged to swallow his
curiosity and wait for Christmas morn.

in ten minutes after his head struck

complained that he did not like corn

and it seemed that he would never
let go. Mamma, and Edith and Jim
came in and so great was the excite

what was in his stocking.
That was certainly the happiest
Christmas the Sawyer family ever
spent or ever would spend. Bobby
was too young to have it all explained
to him, but when he Is older his mother
intends to tell him that his father was
on a vessel that was torpedoed and
sunk. Mr.. Sawyer was reported miss.

water by an American cruiser and in
