The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1919-07-17

The cities Of North Dakota, particularly those that
were vicious in their methods of opposition to the seven
laws, are now anxious to "forget politics a while" and
return to the business Of selling goods to the farmers.
Politics can not be dropped so easily. With the going
into effect of the program, the building of terminal ele-
vators, the operation of flour mills, of the Bank of
North Dakota and Of the Home Building act, these will
set men to thinking and to a reasonable discussion
something that could not be done by passion-blinded
opponents of these projects during the campaign. These
will talk and argue for the farmers program better
than the silver tongues Of a thousand orators.
Under the new state law the grain buyer is required
to pay the farmer for dockage thaving value" But
for thirty years the farmer has been so used to having
this stolen from him that he is backward about resum-
ing the right or claiming money for his own property.
Yet the money he gets and will get this year for his
valuable" dockage will pay all increase in his taxes,
his dues to the League and leave money enough with
him to take home a present to the wife and children.
Many of US who are caught by the high cost Of liv-
ing would. probably take kindly to departing this life
except that we are met on the way out by the high
cost of dying. A millionaire who died last week put in
his will that the coffin should not cost more than $50,
and his distressed family had to hunt all over Chicago
for some one who would agree to put out a box for the
remains at that price.
The republicans now assert that this country had
a "secret government which operated in disregard Of
law during the wal. This secret government permit
ted interested persons to fix prices, set up q press cen-S
sorship and designed a system OF food control, all In
violation Of law. Yet there are men il federal prisons
who are there because they limited at this and demand
ed the right Of free speech to declare their belief.

to the end that hfe and property may be
safe i 'ie. ~
Resolved, further, That the chairman be

ONE MEXICAN BANDIT KILLED.
Continued from Page ~

Such action as this may mean invasion,
but in my opinion the time has come
when we should act decisively. The peri
cd of watehful waiting has passed. We
cannot allow the citizens of Mexico con-
stantly to invade the rights of American
citizens and | believe in strong measures
to put a stop to these invasions We did
send troops into Mexico once under Gen
eral Pershing, but when they got there
they were told by the Carranza govern
ment that they could not move east, west
or south. Everyone knows, when we &C
cepted those conditions it made capture
of Villa and his bandits practically i'm
possible We must be more firm the next
time.
LAS chairman of the committee on mill
tary affairs | stand ready to give the ad
ministration any aid that may be neces-
sary in securing for American citizens
protection of their lives and property
| am sick of this feeling. Conditions will
go from bad to worse so long as we con-
| tinue to mark time. If we take a hand
now, 100000 men will do perfect job. y
| Mr. Kahn criticised Secretary Baker and
| the chief of staff for not keeping the
military committee informed regarding
Mexico Disturbing reports as to affairs
| in Mexico came to my attention early III
the great war; he said "At one of our
conferences with General March | asked
him whether these reports were true. He
said they were not | then told him that
it would be most helpful if the depart
ment would keep us informed regarding
Mexico He agreed with me and sale
we would be kept informed Have W.
ever received any information from th'
department? Not word The only tim'
We ever heard from the department o
any other administrative branch is whel
they want something. 1t is about tim
we hear something and it is about tim
we do something"

BOY SCOUT WRITES OF
SEVEN MILE HIKE.
Demonstrates Ability To Care For
Selves In Open.

The following article by William H.
Field. leader of the Beaver Patrol of
Troop l, ~PleasantYille Boy Scouts of
America. will be of interest to all
Scouts. as well as to our readers gen.
orally:
Lone requirement of the First Glass
Scout Test: One cold, windy Saturday
not long since, Harvey Steelman. my
two brothers, George and Irwin, and
myself, started on a seven-mile hike.
We took two scout axes, one scout
knife. one %canteen, about a loaf and a
half of bread, half a pound of bacon,
and eight sweet potatoes with US. We
walked up the New Road to Absecon
and from there up the Shore Road to
Lily Lake. The first thing we did was
to gather a large quantity of wood and
build a fire. The sweet potatoes were
peeled and sliced lengthwise and stuck
on sticks, three at a time n held
over the fire till done. The strips OF
bacon we're held over the fire by
means of the points of a forked green
stick being stuck in the ends. The
bacon was put between slices of bread
but we ate the potatoes from our fin
gers. G1dI NCy QIOpPC0 q oAlS0 u oo
con into the fire, but recovered it by
jabbing the point of-his stick into it;
then he ran to the lake and washed it
off. As he was about to finish cook
ing it, it dropped again and had to be
washed a second time. After the meal
was over we sat around the fire talk
ing and joking until our supply of
wood ran out; then we had a little
signal practicing. AS Harvey and |
were going around the lake to the
shore opposite, we noticed an old n
en- row boat and the remains of an old
mill; of the latter all that was left
were the stone foundations, a large
stone wheel and the spillway; the lat
ter had been rebuilt and was in good
condition; the pond below was covered
with a thin scum of ice with here and
there an open space OF water. Inc
lake itself was not frozen over and
was covered with little white caps
from the strong wind that was blow
ing; when the waves dashed against
the shore the spray froze into icicles
on the low bushes. For signal flags
we tied handkerchief on sticks. l
did the signalling while Harvey wrote
the letters on the sand. On the other
shore George used the flags and Irwin
took down the words. After keeping
this up for about twenty minutes we
got ready to leave, first filling our can
teen and putting out the fire. We
started out on the Scout pace-ffty
steps running and fifty walking alter
nately. At a small brook this side of
the Seaview Golf Club we refilled the
canteen and continued the Scout pace
to Absecon-a distance of about five
miles. From there We walked briskly
home along the New Road, reaching
Pleasantville about six O'Clock. We
had been gone over eight hours and
had proved our ability to take care of
ourselves in the open.

There's a sense of mystery all around,
1t turks in the very air;
1t hides in the pine,
And this is the sign
The green of her dress is rare.
You look at the clouds as they float
above
In depths of the azure sky
They are dazzling bright
With a brand new light,
AS if with the sun they'd vie.
There's a SENSE of mystery all around,
And with wide and wondering eyes,
You stand in the light
Of the sunshine bright,
And wait for a new surprise.
The birds are a twittering all about,
They the mystery, too,
And the crocus won,
BY the coaxing sun,
Is attempting to peep through.
Oh, month of a mystery, month of
winds,
Blow old, cold winter away;
And bring US the showers,
And bring us the flowers,
oh, bring US April and May.
