Establishment by himself
!. And so the Registered Dentists using the Parker
System are men who have been trained to do
kind of dental work particularly well by doing much
of it.
The kind of work your teeth require is done by the
dentist who is trained in that kind of work. just the
man who knows how to play the violin is the man who
has been trained to play the violin in orchestra
Thus the dental work done under the Parker Sys
tenn is as good as can be done anywhere
And the prices asked for this kind of work are more
than reasonable for specialists lose time, and time
saved is money saved, and this saving is shared with
the patient.
Hyou think that Dentistry under the Parker System
is done the right way, come in, have your teeth
amined Free and learn in advance how little the price
will be for having your teeth properly cared for.

ORYs OPPOSE MEASURE
Many House Members Dislike En-
forcement Bill.
Ardent Prohibitionists Say They VIII
Not Support Measure In lts
Present Form.

Washington, July 14.-During five
hours debate In the house on the pro-
hibition bill, the liquor traffic was
likened to convicted criminal, ap-
pealing for reprieve, while some Of
the more drastic provisions of the
measure were denounced as an inva.
sion Of the liberty. hospitality and
habits Of the home.
1t probably was the last day Of pro-
hibition oratory in the house. Not
all of the IL hours set aside for gen.
eral debate had been used at the
close Of an all-day session. which
ranged from a technical argument on
constitutional questions. to a straight
stump speech for prohibition and its
enforcement.
Chairman Volstead of the Judiciary
committee. In charge Of the bill, and
Representative Igoe. Democrat of Mis-
souri,, leader Of the minority were un-
able to allot all Of the time desired by
members anxious to be heard.
Again ardent prohibitonists de.
clared they could not support the en-.
forcement bill because Of its provi-
sions. and others contended that once
congress defines intoxicating liquors
as beverage containing one.half of
one per cent alcohol, the federal law
for such enforcement cannot become
effective without concurrent action by
the several states

The Nonpartisan league played a
smooth political trick last winter
when they passed the labor-union pet
measures of eight hours for some of
the women and the compensation act
for some of the taxpayers. To avoid
antagonizing the farmer vote, they
left them exempt from the provisions
of both bills.
They won the labor-union vote this
year. But, how long will it be until
the farmer as an employer of labor
will find that his interests are in di-
rect opposition to the Interests of or
ganized labor?
We. believe that the labor-snion
measures will. lose the league more
votes next year than organized labor
can deliver. Many small towns have
been giving the league q large COM
plimentary vote on the theory oi

Emmons County record., 1919-07-17

Pres. Wilson only recently took a
decided step in arranging to swing
North Dakota back into the Republi-
can column next year. He vetoed the
repeal of the daylight-saving plan.
And thus he may say goodbye to the
North Dakota farmer vote. Congress
tried to pass the measure over the
presidents veto, but couldn't muster
the necessary two-thirds.
The democratic party has thus
forced the retention Of the daylight
saving plan, and the farmers univer-
sally do not want it. During the last
year, large percentage of the farm
ers hereabouts have ignored the day
light-sawing law.
Recently, in scheduling meetings
throughout the county, the Record
man was met by the question, "Is the
hour set according to the new time
Pr according to farmer time" The
average farmer has kept his clock
set according to the old time, in spite
Pf the daylight-saving attempt.

doubt the Justice Of the findings q
that jury Of farmers.
There has besn little doubt in the
minds Of many that, If Townley was
not actually disloyal, he was at least
willing to allow the interests Of his
government to suffer il by 80 doing
he could further his selfish ends.
Townley is certainly building a re-
cord Of q kind. First q bankrupt, and
now convicted Of conspiring to teach
disloyalty.
How can honest citizens follow the
lead Of such man?
Emmons County record., 1919-07-17

The Record prints elsewhere the
figures on the recent referendum elec-
ton as compiled by the Fargo Cour-
Ter News. 1t will be seen that the
printing bill was the closest fight,
Shat measure carrying by only 5,239
votes.
Three of the measures had more
than fifty thousand votes cast against
them, and in no case did any measure
reach the sixty thousand mark. The
immigration bill came next to the
newspaper bill, followed closely by
the educational measure.
Another interesting feature of the
vote is found in the relative territor-
les. If the state were to be split into
four equal !Jrts, all the big league
majorities would fall in the north
west quarter of the state. In that
quarter would be Bottineau and Will
liams with a thousand majority for
the league in each, McHenry, 900;
Mountrail, $50; Renville, 700; Rol-
cite, 500.
On the Red River, the league did
not carry single county. The new
Third Judicial District, of which EN-
mons is now part, went extremely
strong against the league. The coun-
ties are Richland, Ransomf Sargent
LaMoure, Dickey, Logan, Mcintosh
and Emmons. The league carried
/ Ransom by littls over three hum
dred and LaMoure by 500. Dickey
split even. Riehland, Sargent, Logan
Mcintosh and Emmons went strong
against them. Richland had an SOC
anti majority. Mcintosh went
against the league two to one.
In the counties where opposition
was active. the league generally fel
with a jolt.

The new Bank of North Dakota has
met it's first crisis, and has been
found wanting.
The western part Of the; state is in
serious condition because Of drouth.
Banks in that section are begging for
help. The state bank was touted as
the ideal institution to cure all ills.
Now comes Director. General Cathro
with the frank admission that it can
not help materially, and asks the
banks of the western section of the
state to stay by their eastern corre-
spondents, and to ask them for the
financial assistance that the bank
cannot give.
True, this bank has control of mil
lions of funds. But, they do not dare
to withdraw local public funds in one
community and send it to the drouth-
stricken area. To do so would bring
disaster to many of the smaller banks,
with resulting loss to depositors.
The Record opposed this bank be-
cause we could not see any ad. .antage
to be gained, and we could. see un-
limited danger for the people in the
power handed to those in charge of
the new political institution.

The attention of the editor of this
paper has been called to matter
which generally receives very little
attention on the part Of the public in
connection with the buying of life in
surance.
Insurance companies of the sound
type are anxious to have their bust
ness on a sound foundation. They de-
sire to see that every man they insure
gets everything he has coming. But
they also attempt in every way pos
sible to protect themselves against
fraud. Their .actuaries attempt to
determine the probable amount of
losses under various conditions. To
be successful in this, the policies
written must conform to the rules
followed in arriving at their conclu-
sions.
In other words. when person buys
insurance, he signs a contract and
the provisions of that contract are
an integral part of the deal. Any
false information in the affidavit will
always release the insurance company
from the terms of the contract. When
a policy is written, the company uses
every effort to make certain that con-
ditions are as represented. Many
times doubtful risks are compelled to
wait for weeks while the investiga-
tion by the company goes On. Tha
company desires to make certain of
conditions before the policy becomes
effective. But, in the case of death.
a further investigation is carried on
for the purpose of ascertaining that
the terms of the contract have been
complied with In the eastern states.
this is carefully gone into. Death
claims in the Northwest are being
more carefully scrutinized as time
goes on.
Insurance companies prefer to
have the contract perfect and correct
80 that there is no quibbling when
the time comes for them to pay.
Men desiring insurance should ap-
preciate the Importance of the affida-
Wit they make. An untrue statement
may cause the beneficiary to lose the
Insurance when the time comes. If a
ran is tubercular and knows it, he
should not claim to be of sound health
when he takes insurance.
Care in filling out the answers to
questions in policy may prevent one
from paying numerous premiums only
TO have the beneficiary fail to secure
the insurance in the event of death.

Jail sentence. The workers steered
clear of Kansas and Kansas is now
Offering $1,000 per day and is having

The above is from che League or.
gan in Bismarck, The Burleigh Coun-
ty Farmers Press. 1t refers to condi-
tiohs in Kansas where I. w. w. liter
ature was spread broadcast threaten
ing sabotage and burning of crops
AS result, Kansas organized vigil
lance committee and put armed
guards all through the state. The I.
w. WIS were scared away.
How can our farmers follow the
lead Of newspapers who come out as
open as this league newspaper. They
are careful not to mention who the
workers were in Kansas. That would
be dangerous.
Yes. Try the North Dakota way.
That way is to kill bill prohibiting
the exhibit of the red flag by organi.
cations. That way is to pass law
making legal organized efforts of
strikers to prevent other help from
taking their place. That way is for
league speakers to tell workmen that
they should have $40 for eight hours
on the farms. as was done in Fargo
prior to the last election.
With eight-hour law for some of
the women; with heavy workmen's
compensation tax on business inter-
ests only; with systematic effort to
turn the farming communities against
their local towns; the way Of the cit
tie business" in this state is hard.
But, with some Of these other things
and with income taxes, oil taxes.
higher state taxes, etc, the farmers
will not come through the ordeal scot
free.
The Nonpartisan League in North
Dakota has travelled from an almost
unanimous vote in 1916 to an insigni-
ficant majority in 1919. And the
new laws are just becoming opera
tive.

date palms are planted on pTanta-
tions. too, just as We plant apple
trees. They are set out in rows
twenty-five feet apart. and begin to
bear dates when they are about four
years old"
DO the people in those eastern
countries like dates?" Jean asked
Yes, indeed. Dates form the
greatest part of their living. They
eat dates, either raw or dried. Some
times they pound them into solid
cakes. to take on journeys across the
desert Wine and honey is made
from the sap of the tree. Out OF the
roasted seeds they make Il drink
something like coffee, and sometimes
the seeds are ground to get the oil
out OF them. The young leaves are
also eaten, as we eat cabbage. The
date leaves are woven into mats and
baskets and the trunks used to build
houses and fences.
My goodness" said Jamie. Date
palms are valuable. aren't they? Do
we have any date trees here in this
country
Yes. in California, and some in
Arizona and New Mexico. The Span
iards brought date palms to Caiifor-
MIA when ii was first settled and some
of them are still standing But we
import millions of pounds every
year
"Whew!" exclaimed Jean, Il should
think they would spoil on the way
over, they are so sweet. DO they put
sugar on the dates:"
No, dates are over half sugar
themselves. And they are cured be
fore they are shipped, in order to
keep them. Whole punches are put in
warm, moist rooms before they are
quite ripe and sort of preserved"
Smiles had driven the clc.ds away
from Jamic's face. That story about
dates has made me feel better let's

And away they ran out into the
