Over 100000 worth of stock in
the American Oil and Gas Company
of Mohall, Renville county, this state,
was sold to people in Cavalier coun-
ty last summer. It seems that.
things did not develop in the oil line
like some Of the investors expected
and some Of the notes are not being
paid. Now the company has brought
suit against number of them for
nonpayment of their notes and the
trials will come off in Renville coun-
ty where the proposed oil wells are
located. It is long trip around for
the investors to travel to get there
and it will be expensive. They pro-
ably will have to pay their notes if
judgments against them are any
good. Again the Pioneer Express
warns people against going into
these schemes they know nothing
about. Good smooth takers come
around to sell stock and the victims
are generally persons who cannot af-
ford to lose any money. We know
of several instances in this county
where persons were victimized by in
vesting in stock that proved to be
worthless.

The delinquent tax sale occurs at
the county seat on Tuesday next, De-
cember 18th. The amount of delin-
quent taxes are about the same as
last year in number Of descriptions
but the amount of real estate taxes
is considerable over former years.
This is due to the hail insurance pre-
nniums that are attached to the land
on account of the hail insurance law
passed at the last session of the
legislature when Townley superin-
tended that famous caucus, besides
the general increase on account of
the raise in valuations.

CONVERTED IN STRANGE WAY
Woman Led to See Beauties Of chris-
t'anity Through Advice Given
W 3rahmin Theosopkist.

How a woman was converted to
Christianity by Brahmin is told in
the Boston Herald by Miss Lillian Free
man Clarke.
Celia Thaxter, the poetess. was an
earnest student Of strange and mys-
tical teachings. At one time she was
much dominated by the teachings Of
John Weiss, and she did not appreci-
ate the beauty and power Of the Bible.
She saw a good deal Of q Hindu
theosophist named Mohini, and under
his guidance came to regard herself.
as a theosophist.
One day she said to her friend, Mary
Parkman. ibid I speak contemptu-
ously Of such a person? ought not
to, for one Of the principles Of the
osophy is to feel no contempt for any
human being"
Miss Parkman replied: 'But did
not Jesus teach that7 Is 1t not all in
the Sermon on the Mount7''
By and by Mohini himself happened
to get hold Of a copy Of the New Tes-
lament, and was much surprised and
Impressed by the beauty Of it's con-
tents. He spoke Of 1t to Mrs. Thaxter,
and found 20 his amaxement that she
knew nothing about the New Testa-
ment.
.sWhati" he said. ''You do not read
your own religious booksl I never
heard anything moro beautiful than
this".
Mrs. Thaxter forthwith began to
rsad the New Testament and became
q much interested Ii Il that she went
|about with 4 copy IN her pocket; !;
Whenever she had chance abe wouid

attend Philips Brooks' church. She

All over the northwest the Nation
al Wheatgrowers Association are or
ganizing to control the marketing Of
the wheat crop at a price that will
equal the cost of producing plus a
profit to the farmer who raises it.
We look to see this accomplished if
the organization will eliminate un-
scrupulous politicians like Mr.. Town
ley and others who have made fail
ure Of everything they have under
taken, except raising money from
the farmers to advance their own in
terests.

Some of the state officials, like Gov.

occupying an unenviable position over
the status of the funds in the Bank
OF North Dakota and sundry other
things which the people are interest

ficials We're ruling with an iron hand
and defied anybody who dared to saw
anything that did not agree with
their policy. The voters of North

the last election and they are coming
down from their lofty perch since
then.

Etratford- Aug. F, 192

SIf1iliofU Aug lS, lSSV- To the Editor of The Ti1nes:-
 In Mondays issue of The Times read with considerable interest the news co1rtr1b1ted by your Stratford correspondent in reference to the ac- 1lvaties of the Etratford Repubaican club, who had at a recent meeting en- sdorsed an candidates for the various offices to be voted on at tho coming town election It seems to me that the action of tsas club is out of step with the kind of government we have 1he4.e in Strztford. which is non-par- tfsan, and for any political club to in Ject partisan politics into our town government is committing a grieviouS wrong. beeaa1se it destroys the spirit and defeats the purpose our charter was intended to provide against. My advice is to wait until after the pri- mary when all nominations are made. then select. endorse, and vote for the best candidates regardless of party.
