Halyor Lands Appointment

Since October first Halvor Torger-
son has been one of the deputy state
game Wardens with a territory ex-
tending over the length and breadth
at Cavalier county. Halvor, how
ever, will more especially take under
his guardianship the big game that
abounds along timber belt that edges
the Pembina river along the eastern
boundary of the county, The hunter
with license and after game in
open season has nothing to fear from
Game Warden Torgerson, but the
pot hunter after deer and other
game protected by the state law will
find that he cannot expect anything
but the provisions laid down by the
law. The game law of North Dakota
will have an efficient and impartial
enforcement officer in Halvor Torger-
son, who for long. years past has
been known as terror to evil doers.

Passing of Two
Early Pioneers
Double Sorrow Passed Over
This Community During
Early Part ofWeek

Again the chronicling of the hap
penings Of the week disclose the
visitation by Deaths Messenger to
two Langdon homes, the final sum-
mons coming during the closing hours
of Saturday night and the break of
dawn on Sunday morning. Two fu-
nerals have on other occasions been
held in Langdon on the same day,
though we doubt if the significance
has ever been quite SO impressive OF
has the passing CT two men from the
community caused such a general
feeling of sorrow and loneliness among
the people Of Langdon and immediate
vicinity-in fact we might almost
say that in these two instances the
bereavement extends over the coun ty.
Both were pioneers and their memory
will long be kept green though they
have passed on over the long lone
trail.

Thomas Falconer, tamiliarly styled
by those who knew him best as "the
old schoolmaster.' had been known
during residence in this county of
nearly forty years as a quaint old
country Scotchman, whose acquaint-
ance formed among the early set
tiers rapidly cemented itself into a
life long friendship. When the site
of the Langdon of today was an un-
broken prairie he had staked out a
a homestead and put up a claim
shanty almost within sight of
the town. 1t wasn't long, however, be-
fore he changed his location
to the eastern border of the county,
at the foothills Of the mountain, in
the Beaulieu settlement. 1t was here
that he took up again his life work,
that of the school master, in which
he had already spent nineteen years
in useful service before leaving the
did country for the Northwest. He
was a man we'll along in middle life
when he came here and today there
are grown men and women over the
county who will recall having been
taught in MS school during their
childhood.
When the end came al dawn on
Sunday morning Of this week, the
old school MASTER was bed ridden
and infrm, in his ninetieth year, with
fortitude that is typical Of the
Scotch, awaiting the summons home.
His latter years had been frightened
by home life, made possible by his
widowed neice, Mrs, Mary Shannon,
becoming housekeeper, 1t was not
until advanced age and chronic all
ment plainly indicated breakdown
in health was imminent. that the
question of moving into Langdon was
decided upon. since which time those
who had known the worthy though
lonely life Of the old schoolmaster'
sought to add comfort and companion.

of his earthly career.
Thomas Falconer was born in Ber-
wickshlre, Scotland in 1881, and was
in the prime of life when he emf.
grated to America to join colony
forming in the Northwest. His ad-
vent into the county dates back to the
early SOS, when he taught school iii

IN the more eastern part of the
county and among the pioneers here
today who came in contact with this
school teacher in the days when this
county was in reality on the frontier
were such men as E. j. Fox, H. D.
ALERT and Fred Borousky, all of
whom were identified with the school
work here at that time.
Preceding interment in the Masonic
cemetery appropriate services were
held at the Presby terian church, quite
an attendance marking the respect
generally shown to his memory.

Slower Growth.

The latest outgiving as to what the
census of the United States will show
is that the population has increased
in the last 10 years by about Is per
cent which is less than any other O.
year increase in the history of our
country
There have been times when such
an announcement would have been
regarded as bad news. 1t is doubt
full if anybody feels that way now.
This country has always welcomed
immigrants, but it depends, and
must always depend, upon a great
body of natural born citizens stepped
in the ideals of the country to con-
troll its government and affairs
1t is a fact not generally under
stood that the greater part of the
population of the United States traces
its ancestry back, at least in part, to
the stock which founded the country
or guided its early history. A con-
tinuing predominance of that stock
will hold the country level and guide
its future course in the lines of evo-
luton as opposed to revolution.
The slower growth of the last 10
years being largely due to a fall in
immigration means that the Ameri-
can element in the population has
gained relatively to the, foreign ele-
ment. and this is good thing alike
for Americans and for newcomers

Embarrassing Position.

The executive committee of the
League to Enforce Peace had a meet,
ing in New York on Saturday, and
adjourned without delivering an
opinion on the covenant of the Lea
que of Nations, in which it is pre-
sumed to be very deeply interested
instead, it appointed a sub-commit-
tee to prepare some kind of a state
ment for the full committee to act
upon. This league is a very en-
barrassing position. 1t was organic
ed by Mr.. Taft five years ago to pro-
cure exactly the thing which the COW
enant of the League of Nations is
created for. But it happens that the
Republican party is fighting the lea
que covenant, and Mr.. Taft, who
supports the League of Nations, is
supporting Senator Harding who op-
poses it. The League to Enforce
Peace is designed to be non-partisan,
but the action of the senatorial dig
archy has made the preservation of
the worlds peace a political issue
between the parties. Mr.. Taft's
league can't oppose the peace treaty
without stultifying itself, and it
can't affirm it without giving support

itself either way on the very matter
it exists to promote or the other

League Prevents Two Wars.

Referring to the dispute between
his country and Finland over the
possession of the Aland islands, jur
! isdiction of which has now been~as
sumed by the council of the League
of Nations, the Swedish prime minis
ter, Hjalmar Branting, says: "Swed
en- has complete confidence in the
| league as means of preventing fu-
ture wars, and proof of this lies in
the fact that we unhesitatingly plac-
ed our case in its hands"
The League of Nations referred to
is the one which the occupant of the
front porch at Marion, O., unceasing-
ly denounces as failure; which
every Republican orator insists no
nation can join without surrendering
its independence; which the senator
ial cabal at Washington has falsely
stigmatized as an alliance to promote
war, and which every supporter of
the old militaristic and imperealistic
order in both hemispheres is fighting
tooth and nail.
Prime Minister Branting says
furthermore: "All that the league
needs to make it most effective and
certain instrument for reducing wars
to the absolute minimum is the par
ticipaton of the United States"
All this sounds like Democratic
stump speech, but in truth it is the
conviction of thirty-nine self-govern-
ing nations solemnly proclaimed in
the interest of humanity and peace,
and only yesterday illustrated anew
when Poland and Lithuania, the lat
ter not yet member, agreed to sus-
pend hostilities and refer their quar-
rel to the league for settlement

COOPERATION NEEDED

At banquet given by the Arcadia
Commercial Club Saturday, Septem-
ber1Sth, when the editors of DeSoto
county were guests of that body, Dr.
e. j. Etheredge spoke of the benefits
that have accrued to the ridge coun-
try as result of the cooperation of
the boards of trade from Moore Hav-
en- to Haines City. Four representa-
tives of each board of trade of the
ridge country form a central board.
If there is anything any of the
towns represented in the association
want it has the backing of every
other town on the ridge, and almost
invariably they get what they 20
after.
Last week The Florida Advocate
suggested the need of such an organi-
cation formed Of the towns along the
A. G. l.. from Lakeland to Fort Myers.
The Advocates suggestion is in line
with thought we have had in mind
for months, but we would include in
such an organization Bradentown
Manatee, Palmetto and Sarasota.
The interests of all the towns of what
may be called Southeastern Florida
are almost identical, and with the
knowledge that certain and great
benefits are to be derived from CO.

VERTISED.
Something of. this character has
been brought to our attention within
the past few days, on looking over
the first number of Lake Comics, a
monthly bulletin being issued by the
| Lake County Chamber of Commerce
one of the real, live upbuilding or
CARNATIONS of Florida and particular
ly of the county named. In this first
issue of Lake Comics the versatile
editor, who is also the efficient Sec
rotary of the chamber of commerce.
calls attention to the "a per cent
growth of Lake County in the past
ten years and refers to another Flor
ida county which he says, in the same
period of time, grew more than ten
times faster than did Lake." and
adds:
I'm that county the value of realty
quadrupled, and in many instances
multiplied many fold. The people of
today are enjoying wonderful roads,
listening to a band that costs $780,
600 the season, worshipping in
churches OF great beauty and power;
the children attending schools that
are the last word in mordern educa-
tion-a happy, commended, prosper
GUS people. They are not waiting
100 years for enjoying life day by
day, and planning greater things for
other generations.
Following this paragraph the edi-
tor of Lake Comics asks:
What made that county the talk
of the nation-the county with the
greatest growth of any in the United
States? Advertising and co-opera-
,tion of its people. What is bringing
Lake county to the front right now?
Cooperation and the expenditure of
$4,000 over period of one year"

advantage or put over" something
to the others disadvantage.

This spirit cannot but work harm,
not only to the. individual towns but
to the whole section and there is no
doubt that progress has been retard-
ed, especially in western DeSoto
county, as result of this attitude on
the part of the towns that should
have been and should be cooperating
instead of pulling and hauling again
st each other like jackasses.
A bright future lies before this
section and the realization of the
hopes and dreams of its people will
be fastened by the kind of co-opera-
ton that is responsible for the won
derful progress and prosperity of
ether sections with less advantages
than we enjoy.
