FARMER HAS GOOD WORD FOR
WARD COUNTY FARM BUREAU

A few days ago picked up the Dec
LIST issue of the Dakota Farmer anc
read an account Of the recent organiz-
alton of the American Farm Bureau
Federation which took place in vhica.
60, ILL.,, on the 18th, 18th and 18th o.
November.
Thirty-two states were represented
and at this time these men laid the
foundation for one Of the greatest or.
CARNATIONS in existence, to promote
better agriculture and agricultural
conditions in America.
It was not until read this article
that the full realization Of the value Of
our own Farm Bureau came to me
And I think a great number Of the
farmers Of Ward county look at the
Ward County Farm Bureau as ! did
before / read the article l speak Of.

Sad Death at Makoti.

Ryder News: Mrs. Halvorson, about
sixty years of age, dropped dead from
heart failure about midnight Tuesday
Of last week. She and her husband,
who is belfast, resided in house near
Ed Swanson's residence, and have been
residents of the town for several years.
Mrs. Halvorson had called at q neigh
boris home on Tuesday and appeared
to be feeling as well as usual. We'd
nesday about 1880 a. m. Mrs. Hoff
called at the house and was shocked
to find Mrs. Halvorson lying dead on
the floor and clad only in her night
gown. Mr.. Halvorson was in bed and
was suffering from cold, as he did not
have strength to fix the fire. He stat
ed that Mrs. Halvorson had gotten up
about midnight to fix the fire and it
was then that her death occurred. Mr..
Halvorson stated that he called for
help but his cries were not heard. 1t
was very pathetic case and great
sympathy is felt for the bereaved hus-
band. The funeral was held in Ma
koti.

regarded the organization in sort Of
an Indifferent attitude without giving
it any real active support. want to
tell every farmer that he will get a
great deal of good. out Of the Farm Bu-
boost for the Ward County Farm Blu
reau. 1t is the farmers organization
and it is national in its Importance.
l believe that our Farm Bureau is
an organization thru which unlimitc 1
work can be done in the upbuilding Of
the business, economic, social and edu
cational interests of the farmers.
The Farm Bureau is an organization
of the farmers and their wives Of the
county for the purpose of making the
business of farming more profitable,
make the farm home more attractive,
and developing community life. The
extent of development of this organic
alton and the work that it will do de-
ponds on the cooperation and the sup
port that the farmers will give it. I
believe that every farmer in Ward
county should be member Of the
Ward county Farm Bureau and give it
unlimited support.
Our county organization now has
over three hundred members and a d.
rector in each township in the county.
Every member has 3 vote. Every
farmer who is not already member
should write to the County Agent for
information or send in your applica-
ton Of membership.
The Farm Bureau cooperates with
the State Extension department and
with the United States Department of
Agriculture. These institutions are
great sources Of information on any
farm problem, which the farmer can
get thru the county agent. The farm
ers should take advantage Of these op-
portunities. It will save you, as it did
me, few costly experiments.
l have been member of the Farm
Bureau since it's organization and am
going to continue to give it my un-
divided support.

lndlgence, were as grateful to her as
the splendid entertainments of the
Bolsrands. At the Pritels' she en-
joyed the sensation Of being a per-
sonage, deferred to and surrounded
with eager attention. The expense
they went to for her sake was a
homage to her vanity, still bleeding
from the wounds inflicted by the
arrogant Boisrands. The Thursday
dinner was her revenge; and to
make that revenge complete she en-
ployed toward the Pritels the same
sort of insolence as that of which.
on the preceding Sundays, she had
been made the butt. This relieved
her feelings. 1t seemed to her that
the humiliations to which she had
been subjected lost their sting when
they were passed on to others.
Thursday salved Sundays sores.
On one particular Thursday Mile.
Verteuil was more than ever in need
OF consolation. The Sunday before
had been atrocious. The Boisrands
had carried their cruelty to a point
at which she couldn't any longer
pretend to see in it only an amicable
badinage. By a special effort she
had just succeeded in controlling
herself. The other guests, obviously
embarrassed, had ceased to laugh.
Returning home she had wept with
anger. The three days which fol-
lowed seemed unendurably long to
her, so anxious was she to find some
balm for her outraged feelings at
the expense Of the Pritels.
From the beginning Of the dinner
New-York tribune., 1920-08-22
THE TWO DINNERS FREDERIC BOUTET

The daughters, as keen as they were
malicious, kept pin-pricking her
little vanities and foibles. Then,
though raging inwardly, she used to
shake her head as if she were
amused and say: "Ah!' these chill
dren, these children! How droll they
are!'
That night, at home, she shook
with indignation. Yet she lacked
the strength of character to re-
nounce the excellent Boisrand din
ners or to exile herself from a great
house which it flattered her to be
able to frequent.
At the Pritels' Mile. Verteuil en-
countered poverty, but also genuine
consideration. There she was the
rich relative. Pritel, a poor clerk
without prospects; his humble wife
and their three children-the latter
already initiated in the depressing
problems Of household economy
overfowed with respect and admira-
tlon for person who had an income
to live on. For them, who had moth
ing, the little which she had was a
dazzling fortune. The hope of in
herltlng something from her-the
only piece of good luck within the
possibilities of their widest dreams
stimulated their desire to please
her. They would have lived on DO
tatoes for the other six days of the
week rather than forego that Thurs
Gay dinner. They did their best to
make it good. But to Mile. Verteuils
critical eyes it was bad, all the same.
She could have dined better at home
and would have been spared the or
deal of making two trips in the
Metro.
Nevertheless, these mediocre re-
pasts; that little fifth floor apart
ment, now chilly, now sitting; those
evenings spent in an atmosphere Of

There Is Widespread Sentiment
IN Favor Of Penalties on
UnmarriedMen

| men have not enough intelligence to
| get married there should be some SUI
perior force to clamp the gives upon
them. When they successfully COM
bat the superior force it is not in
telligence that directs the battle. In
telligence would teach them to sub
init, not with surly acquiescence, but
gladly. When they escape matri-
mony they have given no intelligent
thought to the subject at all. They
have been actuated by seltishness or
moral cowardice, or both, no matter
with what specious arguments or ex-
plantations they may seek to hide the
truth.
Man has to give up something
when he marries. He has to give up
a good deal. He has to give up abso-
lutte freedom and substitute a rela-
tive freedom for it. He can't have
his own arbitrary way all the time.
He has to make his whole manner of
life fit in with another's life. He
has to think and consult before he
acts in countless details and episodes.
And he has to share his money.
New-York tribune., 1920-08-22

Ouch! How that hurts the selfish
man! That, mark you, is where the
shoe really pinches. He must de-
prive himself of this and that and
the other thing. He must give a
little, instead Of taking all. No long
er can he treat himself as the pink
and perfumed pampered Persian
Prince.
Add to this the venerable argu-
ment of the moral coward: He does
not want to subject the woman he
loves to the drudgery of life on a
small income. What he means is
that he is afraid of the RESPONSE
bility. He breaks out in a cold sweat

School for Card PLAYERS
AUCTION BRIDGE

Questicn-Up here in London, On
tario, teacher from the States tells
US they have dropped the honor count
and that they take so above the line
for winning a game. She quotes the
knickerbocker Whist Club of New York
as authority. We are anxious to know
II this system of scoring is adopted in
the new laws.-W. E. w.
Answer-No such system of counting
ever adopted or even heard of in the
States. Some teachers try to make it
easy for the dubs, and also to spring
something fresh, no matter whether it
is sound auction or only bumblepuppy.
Question-We have small wager on
the proper bid on the following cards.
held by the dealer, no score: Hearts,
Q 10 x; Clubs, A @ X; Diamonds,
@ *; Spade, Ace.-W. T. B.
Answer-Ths is very common type
Of the choice between no-trumps and .
major suit. The suit-make is safer, but
the no-trumper is easier, provided the
partner has anything, so as to get into
the lead and give the dealer some fin
esses. Some object to the heart call.
because there are no "tops" in the suit;
but the hand is too strong to pass up
for secondary bid. If the partner
has anything, it should be game
hend at hearts, but it might fail to go
game at no-trumps unless ne had some
spades. At hearts it does not matter
what he mas, and the heart is therefore
the better call.

discard pile, or vice versa ?-I. C. A.
Answer-No.

of taxation. They escape much of
the taxation that falls on married
men, who by reason of the families
they have to support are less able
to pay. For example, they are sell
dom householders or the owners of
real property, and, having only one
mouth to feed and one person to
clothe, they escape 80 per cent of
the indirect taxes married man
pays. Yet, without paying for them,
they receive all the benefits that the
nation and it's laws and customs ex-
tend.
America has recognized this stu
alton to some extent by making the
Income tax fall with additional
weight on the unmarried. The
bachelors exemption is $1,000. while
Ine married man has $4,000 exemp-
ton and an additional 5000 for each
OF his minor children. England and
France have just gone back to this
old principle in their new schemes of
after-the-war taxation. England
proposes to make the bachelors ex-
emption $3.50, while the married
mans exemption is $1,25o, with a
graduated additional exemption for
minor children. France has passed
law providing the more drastic
penalty for bachelorhood of a
straight Is per cent increase in the
income tax of bachelors.
New-York tribune., 1920-08-22

on that account may be, so TAR as
you are concerned, a trifling fault.
To submit to being taken advantage
of would be a serious weakness on
my part. If you treat me properly l
shall be happy to see you again. II
not, let US break off associations
which have become humiliating 70
me. Good night, cousin. | hope to
be with you on Sunday. But thau
will depend on you"
She addressed the letter to Ms
Boisrand. took it out and dropped Is
in the mail box. Then she went 70
bed, proud of herself, but also soli'e-
what apprehensive.
The next day, as she was wonder+
ing what she would do with ner
Thursday and Sunday evenings, sns
received the following message:
"My Good Cousin:
''It is foolish of you to be so sensl'
tive. We have scolded the children
well, l assure you How could you
have believed that our innocent bao'
image was anything but proof OF ih-
innate affection? You know no"
much we love you. Come next SUM
day. And have no misgivings. W.
shall not forget that you are sc>'
ceptible. We all send you kisses.
"GASTON BOISRAND.'
Mile. Verteuil fead the note o'ss
again and reflected for few mo.
ments. Then she took pen ana
wrote:
"My Good Cousin:
"It is foolish of you to be so sens.
tive. l have given myself a gov
scolding, l assure you. But nc"
could you have believed"
She copied Nj. Boisrand's messsgo
to the end, changing Sunday !"
Thursday. Then she addressed 'ns
letter to NJ. Pritel and rushed ous q
mail it.
New-York tribune., 1920-08-22

For you we are poor relations. To
take advantage of us on that account
may be, SO far as you are concerned,
a trifiing fault. To submit to being
taken advantage Of would be a seri-
Gus weakness on our part. So, if
you come and treat us properly, we
shall be happy to have you. If not,
let US break off associations which,
on our side, have become very pain
full. Good night, cousin. 1 hope to
see you next Thursday. But it will
depend on YOU"
Without giving her a chance to
answer he hurried away.
Mile. Verteuil went home COM
pletely dazed. Little by little these
conclusions took form in her rnind.
The Pritels, although they were poor
relations, had had the courage to re-
bel. Driven to it, they had put self
respect above self-interest. Sud-
denly Mile. Verteuil realized that she
was morally their inferior. They
had taken their revenge and had hu-
inflated her. She couldn't any
longer maltreat them on Thursday
in order to console herself for hav-
ing been maltreated on Sunday. She
thought of the JOY which Pritel must
have felt in throwing off her brutal
tyranny. She was filled with hatred
of the Boisrands. She seized pen
and wrote, as we'll as she could
from memory:
"Dear Cousin:
'f you really feel as much con-
tempt for me as you showed last
Sunday evening, our relations must
cease. For long time l have tried
to see in your impolite remarks only
attempted jests-friendly, perhaps,
though in bad taste. / can't do so
any longer. For you / am poor
relation. To5tAke advantage Of nae
