THE CANADIAN VIEW

The recent political history of North
Dakota makes very interesting read
ing for Canadians at this time. In
the first place, conditions in that state
are very similar to our own conditions
on the prairie provinces, and it is we'll
to know how our neighbor has set
about remedying her affairs. In the
next place, the Nonpartisan league
has shown what can be done by an in
telligent use of the ballot. In a per-
fectly constitutional manner it has
effected what has been hailed as. a
political and economic revolution.
Needless to say, this legislation has
been severely criticized by enemies of
reform who are making desperate ef-
forts to discredit the Nonpartisan
league. It is confidently hoped, how
ever, that the new movement will
strengthen and live. = TURNER'S

preserves for her family, substances
that are prohibited by law in foods

The department of agriculture has
issued bulletins that give specific di-

Connover, Wis.
Editor Nonpartisan Leader:
We notice in the Leader that you
want to know of parties who have
grazing lands to rent to Montana men
for their cattle. We have abodt 1000
acres idle, besides there must be 5000
acres of other lands owned by diff
ferent individuals all around our farm.
We could undoubtedly take care of
about $50 head of cattle anyway. The
lands are not fenced, hence the cattle
would have to be herded. There is
fine water all around here. The lands
are cutover, but there is a lot Of feed
anyway. The cattle could be shipped
to Connover, on the Northwestern line,
or Star Lake, on the Milwaukee line.
If one Montana rancher has not
enough cattle several could go to-
gether. The rental will be nominal,
if any. Will let the cattle owners set
their own price on that part of it.

Editor Nonpartisan Leader:
+ saw your request for parties
having land for pasture in north
ern Wisconsin and will say, that I am
in direct touch with some parties who
have more than 400 acres up there,
located in a woods district 16 miles
from town, and a fine lot of buildings
on it, and plenty Of outland for pas
ture and water. If I can be of any
use will do all can for both par
ties. I believe many tons of hay could
be put up if we got busy at once, as
many tons of hay go to waste every
year there for lack of someone putting
it up. If any one is interested i
would like to hear at once, as it is
time to hay now. It is widow woman
who owns it and I have had offers to
work on, SO I will be O. K. to write
to and will do all can to help.

The little Belgian man. who has
proclaimed himself a duke and heir
to an immense fortune in his native
land, chose Tuesday evening to set
out on a hike to Valley Falls. Duke
Marquis, alias Duke Augustin, alias
Duke Eugene Martin, started out in
the storm to make the trip to Valley
Falls on foot. He was found north
of Topeka by Kilmaurs King and
brought to the Provident association.
The duke is bit disgruntled at the
association, in as much as his fire.
quent and periodical appearances and
consequent Investigations and efforts
to locate the missing fortune and title,
have disallusioned the association Of
ficers. Moreover, the duke has no
fancy for some concrete floors in the
building, tho he was assured that his
bed would be placed in a room where
the floors were nice, soft wood.
But the duke would have none of
the association, and while the secre-
tary's back was turned, he slipped out
of the office and down the steps. bent
on making his tramp to Valley Fails.
As soon as Mrs. Myrtle Callahan, the
secretary, discovered that her charge
had disappeared. she called the police
! station to ask them to go out and hunt
the adventurer. unless they expected
to find a frozen man in the morning.
The little Belgian has appeared in
Topeka at various times for number
of years. with succession of differ

always of an inheritance in the old
country, and with a string of names
for reference that always proved I'M

MOST OF MONTH Mild
December Had Record Precipitation,
the Weather Bureau Announces.

Despite the fact that it closed wiz.
some of,the coolest weather on record,
December was the mildest mouth of
December experienced in twenty-five
years. At the same time it bears the
distinction of having a heavier pre-
cipitation and greater snowfall than
any previous December on record.
However, the amount of sunshine was
less than has been received in this
vicinity in any one month for almost
three years. With temperatures above
normal until December 23, they were
below normal every day for the rest
of the month. The extremes were 6S
on December and 0 on December
25, the coolest Christmas on record.
The total precipitation amounted to
Az inches including rain and snow.
which is about three times as great
as normal.
The average wind velocity was above
normal. The month was too wet to
dc much farm work. However, the
rain and snow served the purpose of
putting wheat in perfect condition for
entering the winter.

The rural carriers did not go out on
their routes at all. it was said at the
postoffice. but one parcel post delivery
was made in the city. So far, it was
said. the volume of mail is below the
average for New Years day, probably
owing to late trains due to the heavy
SHOWS.
The city carriers went out this
morning with all the mail they could
carry and went home when they had
gotten rid of their loads. The windows
in the postoffice were closed all day.
