emerged. Seems he's gettin' in a
hurry about 1t. Christmas don't come
till tomorrow"
There was nothing about the sailor
to denote that he was a seafaring
man, unless it was his rolling gait, for
he was bundled up much as the other
man, although his coat, instead of
being fur, was an old fuzzy blue one.
Navigation had closed some months
ago, because large share of the
lake had an icy blanket. and
Harry Hammond was obliged to find
other pursuits till spring So he
fished through the ice and helped keep
the village of Bennett supplied with
food.
His knock was answered by dark
eyed girl of three years, who smiled
brightly.
Hello, Emeline," he said, and he
took her in his arms and asked her
about Santa and what she expected
the old gentleman from the North to
bring her.
"Big dolls what l want" she told
him, trying to spoil the part in his
hair, and falling because there was
not any there to begin with. Oats
all-just big doll"
From the adjoining room came an
other dark-eyed girl of nineteen wip-
ing her hands on an apron.
Harry placed the tot on the floor,
and as he did so he discovered pic
ture standing on the table. 1t was
of a very good looking young man.
II see Mr.. Clark left a present."
Harry said, and Immediately wished
he had kept his thoughts to himself,
for the girl flared up.
"Yes," she said with tinge of de-
fance Ben Clark left me his pic
ture. l hope you don't object"
The sailor studied the blue pattern
in the faded red carpet.
"Woudn't do much good If 1 did,"
he responded "You an he's gettin'
pretty thick, Marie. l thought things
was pretty well understood between
you an me-but that was before Ben
commenced takin' you ridin' and
shinin' up to you. A man with a car
certainly does have an advantage over
us pour guys.
Maries cheeks grew red and she
tapped her foot.
Look here, Harry Hammond"
she said in a voice that sounded like
a ringmaster's whip cracking "you
nor no man is going to dictate to me.
Mr.. Clark has been very nice. Besides,
he's a highly refined gentleman, and
you-well, you're not. and you know
It,"
Ben turned toward the door.
"Mebbe l better step out O. 1t alto
gether,r he observed.
He opened the door and was about
to step out, when Emeline sprang into
his arms. He kissed the child on the
forehead, then put her back on the
floor and went out. remarking to him
self that this sure is some merry
Christmas"
That afternoon a storm that had
been brewing for days vented its spite
on the village and its surroundings
which included Clayton Point and the
lighthouse. A raw, stiff wind carried
biting pieces of hard snow.
.Mebbe Santa Claus tan't tome" said
the tot, as she snuggled up to the

older girl and listened to the howl
ing wind.
Probably not" replied Marie. who
was gazing abstractedly from the
living room window out over the
frozen lake.
Marie was quite sure Santa would
not come. Santa would have to be
her brother Frank, who was Emeline's
father. and he was at Sloan City, 20
miles away, helping an ice company
put up next summers supply. He
had promised to bring something for
Emeline's Christmas, but Marie knew
he would not attempt the trip In the
storm.
Frank was the lightkeeper and the
government records showed Marie to
be his assistant Frank kept the light
burning during the summer and in the
winter found jobs of various kinds to
perform.
About five o'clock. through the
storm, Marie heard an automobile
horn, and presently came knock on
the door. Ben Clark, blanketed with
snow, stood there when she opened it.
II can't stay" he said, 'or ! won't
be able to drive back, because the road
is drifting badly. I came because l
heard some news you'll be interested
in. Harry Hammond went out on the
ice this morning with his dog team,
and up at the village a fisherman just
came in with the news that the ice
had cracked and part of it went out
Hammond didn't have a chance in a
thousand, especially In this storm. He
surely must have drowned"
Marie started back, horror in her
eyes.

Can't you do something? Take me out
on the ice in your car. Perhaps he's
still alive, lying somewhere on the ice
freezing. The Ice must be firm for a
long ways out"
"What? exclaimed Ben. go out
there In this bowling blizzard? The
ice might hold up for a long ways.
but I'd ruin the car and we'd stand a
| good chance of getting pneumonia. II
we didn't get lost and wander into
| open water"
Early that night the villagers were
| startled to see a red bar of light shoot
from Clayton Point 1t was the first
time In history that that light, which
had guided many a ship through sum-
mer gales, had shone forth into a win
| ter night.
Up in the light tower stood Marie
looking through the great glass wall,
striving to pierce the darkness and
storm with eyes that were red from
weeping.
"There's not much hope" she unused,
but there's just a chance he's still
alive and the old light might help
him.
For hours she remained at the post,
watching and waiting, all but hopeless.
Midnight found her asleep in a chair
close by the light. exhausted by her
long vigil.
A scream from below made her wide
awake. She stumbled down the stairs
and groped her way to Emeline's room.
To her surprise lamp was burning
and there was Emeline seated on the
bed, bouncing a doll, fully as large as
herself, on her knee.
Santa tame p cried the little girl,
and now Marie realized that 1t had
been a scream of joy that awak-
! ened her.
"Santa tame!' repeated the tot. II
found this right on my bed"
Unable to understand, Marie went
out into the living room and lighted a

According to the South African Jour
nal Of Industries for July, 1919. the re-
placement of cane by cotton In parts
of Zululand is being taken notice or
by the sugar industry.
A number of planters declare that
they find cotton a more paying anu a
more promising crop than sugar.
A great advantage in favor of cot
ton is that a crop can be planted and
handled within about six months and
does not involve the heavy expenditure
for wagons, track and vehicles, such

The door of the dwelling part of the

dressed in fur coat, came out, placing
a cap, also of fur, on his head. He
paused when he saw the sailor.

one, grinning. and he passed on to
the automobile, climbed in, and soon
was whirling away.

KosITZKY AT KINTYRE !.
State Auditor Invades Lsague Strong
hold in Northeastern Emmons
Monday. Well Received by
Large Audience

Auditor Kositzky may be traitor
to A. c. Townley, but that h. is u
traitor to the farmers Of North Da-
kota is certainly not fact. And his
talk at Kintyre Monday afternoon
clearly indicated that many of the
leaguers are not fa.iing for the
TRAITOR" stuff hurled forth by the
Townley ring.
Last year Kintyre had ten votes
against the league. Monday there
were more than a hundred farmers
at Kositzky's meeting. And, as the
incidents of the mesting developed,
it became apparent that large num-
ber of those leagaers were with the
state auditor.
Martin Stanley, former unsuccass-
full league candidate for the legisla-
ture, and this year q clerk of the SEN
ate, was in the audience. Shortly
after opening his address. Mr.. K. in
vited Mr.. Stanley to watch what he
said and to object to anything he con-
sidered untrue, or unfairly put. Stan
ley did his best. He repeatedly ar
gued points that came up, and many
of the most damaging statements
made by the state auditor evoked no
opposition from Stanley. Other
points were discussed pro and con, at
length. As the meeting progressed.
the numbsr who joined in the ap-
plause as the auditor forced home
his points grew steadily, until near
the close, he had better than half his
audience openly with him.

The Record man was able to attend
but one of the affairs, the picnic at
Dale. The other meetings were much
the same. OF the various speakers,
Miss Palmer, Of the State Superin-
tsndent's Office, proved to be by far
the best. She talked on the new edu-
cational program, and asked for the
cooperation of the school patrons.
Stamping out illiteracy, helping for
eigners to learn our language, and
madical attention for children were
the three thingsi she pleads for.
Speakers from the Agricultural
College talked on matters pertaining
to Farm Bureaus and Extension
Work. Either the subjects were hard
to handle, or the speakers not equal
to the occasion, for they failed to
evoke the interest in their subjects
that Miss Palmer did on school mat
ters.
Members for a county organization
were solicited at the close of the
talks, and fair membership secured.
Monday and Tuesday, a trained
nurse attended the picnics and gave
examinations to children in attend
ance.
An effort will be made to secure
a county nurse for Emmons county,
an excellent thing for the little folks,
and money we'll expended.

thing the Record is not so well post

urated and the Record man has not
been home long enough to fully un-
Iderstand-the proposition. 1@

OUR NEW SCHOOL BUILDING
The Art and Science Of Farming

Formerly people thought that
farming was neither an art nor a
science. If anybody still entertains
this notion, he better look for cob
webs somewhere.
When Emmons county land sold
for eighty-five cents an acre, farm
ing tho an art, may not have been a
science; but now, with land climbing
.up to fifty dollars the acre, farming
Is unmistakably . science the hap
py-go-lucky method won't pay,
What is meant by the two terms,
art and science? Science means
knowing the bsst way of doing a
thing; art means being able to do it
well. Applied to farming, science
means knowing about breeding, ssed-
ing, cultivation, and crop rotation;
art means ability, in milking, driving,
blowing, drilling, and harvesting.
Science knowing, art-doing.
What can the schools do in this
matter? T.
The schools can teach the funda-
mentals Of agriculture, teach the val
ne Of manure, the silo, the Babcock
tester, pure-bred stock, seed germin-
ation, crop rotation. and diversified

FRAZIER BUSY AT .sTRAsBURG
North Dakota's Governor Finds EN-.
mons County Farmers Doing
Some Thinking for
Themselves

Gov. Frazier, accompanied by all
the local lights Of the Nonpartisaii
League, visited Strasburg Saturday
afternoon in the interests of the
Townley side of the coming election.
Frazier dwelt at length on the de-
sires Of hilnsalf, Mr.. Townley and the
rest Of their click. At the close Of
his talk, he had a chance to discuss
thing j fUf i aeW as 1niifusss With people
in the audience. f
The gentleman from the Westfeld
neighborhood took the governor on
for a few minutes. w. Rodenberg,
a farmer of the Westfeld neighbor-
hobd for more than thirty years,
wanted to know something about the
Industrial Commission. And he
found out: r.
Rodenberg: "Are there three men,
bers Of the Industrial Commission
provided fort" d
Gov. Frazier: Eyes"
Rodenberg: "Is it true that if the
other two members vote Yes and
you vote No that No carries?"
Frazier: "Well, l am given the
final say SO that they will know
where to place the responsibility"
.Rodenbergo: "Then, the other two
members are really just advisers, and
might as. well not vote on, matters
coming before the commission Z"
Frazier: well, I have the last
say"
Rodenberg: ''Then the majority
doesn't rule any more?" II
At this point, Sen. C. A. Ward came
to the governors assistance and tried
to explain the matter 80 that it
would suit the crowd. His explana-
ton was something to the effect that
the governor could veto acts Of the
Legislature, and that he could now
veto the work Of this board. His ex-
PLANTATION was witty, but not in point.
The conditions are in no wise similar.
Two-thirds Of the legislature can
override the governors veto. Two
thirds Of the Industrial Commission
cannot. The governors veto Of legis-
lative matters has to do with legisla-
tion, not management Of business en-
terprises.
Even today, in the matter Of allow
ing bills for state expenses, the gov
srnor has no. such veto" power.

nothing though. Il got by IN en-
