Unnecessary Unpleasantness"

The following purports to be from His Excellency, the Right Hon. Mercer Memperley, IL. D.:
 "April 19, 1920. Editor Williams News
 Williams Arizona
 rtSir
 ''I write you this to give you an opportunity to apologize in your paper, and retract those statements made in an editorial published in your paper under date of Friday, April 16, 1920. that porton of said Editorial reading as follows: Tt is a great consolation to know that : I he chicanery of that part of he legal profession whicl7 fer a few dollars. would defeat the ends of justice by any means whatsoever, can not avail to save one whose guilt is clear. Sometimes it appears as though only money and an unprin- cipaled lawyer are needed to defeat the ends of law. They failed to defeat justice in this case and this failure streng- thens our faith to believe that they will continue to fail in our good state, in years to come.'
 ttThis attack of the Attorneys is uncal1ed for in this article and is false. An apology and a retraction of this article will. no doubt. save much unneces- sary unpleasantness.
 "Yours very truly.
 MERCER TEMPERLEY"
 Doesn't this generosity on the part of Attorney Hemperley quite surpass human compre- hension? He GIVES us the op. portunity to apologize. We have been hoping for the last two years that he wuld give us 2. check covering his balance for campaign advertising for the primary at the last, election, but this benefcence quite staggeri us.
 Now let us see, where are we "at". "This attack OF the at. torneys is uncal]ed. for in this article" Attack of the attor- neys.'' So the attorneys have been attacking somebody or somethin' again, have they? We'll, that's just like them and not at all surprising. As for it's being false, why that's quite natural, no matter what the IL. D's. may have said. Of course you have heard that one, "All lawyers are liars but not all liars are lawyers. :"
 But, getting down to the heart of the matter, and allowing that when a budding CD young at- torney gets "het up" he is apt to get his propositions mixed. It seems that MT. Hemperley objects to our reference to "thai. part of the legal profession which, for a few dollars, would defeat the. ends of justice by any means whatever DoeJ he want us to understand that he is thatapart of the legal pro- fession and that therefore we have slurred him individually? Please, Mercer, tell us just what you mean anyway.

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1920-11-01
How to Recognize the So-called Chill.
dren's Disea ses-Measles.

Under the term 'children's diseases
we usually include measles, scarlet
fever, ~diphtheris. chicken pox, whooping
cough and mumps. Prior to the gen
eral introduction OF vaccination. small
pox was also one of the children's dis.
es-s, being Just as prevalent then as
measles and scarlet fever are now.
The children's diseases are readily
spread when children are brought to
gether in large numbers, as in school
or a poorly ventilated moving picture
hall. 1t is natural that the classroom
is often the means of spreading the in
lection. This is especially likely when
there is no system of school medical in
spection, and when parents have not
been taught their responsibilities in
keeping infected children at home.
Experience shows that in most in
stances in which childreRSs diseases are
contracted in school there has been
failure to keep an infected child at
home. or q failure on the part of the
parent TO recognize the fact that there
was anything seriously wrong with the
child.
II may be we'll. therefore, 60 give a
few Of the important symptoms by
which a parent can recognize the vsri-
Gus children's diseases.

First MIL in Merrimack

A few days ago I saw something in
the News about mills. 1t said that
history fails to state just what year
a mill was first erected in Merri-
mack.
In 1914 Harris Scarf built a small
grist mill upon Searps creek, in s. E.,
N. w. quarter, section 4, town 10
north, range E. When the mill
was completed SO that he ground a
little for himself, there came a great
freshet that swept out a part of the
dam and undermine ethe mill so that
it tipped partly over. 1t was never re-
paired
In 1916 David King built a grist Mill
at the bluff on branch of the Scarf
creek, using a good deal of the furni-
ture of the Scarf mill. In 1849 it
burned down in midday He then
built a saw mill and in 1851 he com.
pleter new grist mill.
/ do not know il the mill built in
1874 by Harris Scarf was the first
mill built in Merrimack or not but it
is the first one that I know of.

Sometime ago / read in The News
of club meeting where the topic,
"The Non-partisan League" given by
Superintendent Kingsford, was dis
cussed. Perhaps can give you some
facts, too. The Non-partisan League
was formed to remedy conditions in
North Dakota. Until last year the
working classes were dominated by
the money interests, not only in this
working people secured majority
rule in both houses Of the legislature
and also the state officers. OF course
some of the members and officers have
turned traitor to the cause but the
people have succeeded in what they
have attempted. Some Of the princl-
pal laws made were: to operate the
bank of North Dakota, to build and
operate terminal elevator and mill,
to have home builders association
and state Hail insurance. There
were other laws made just as impor-
tant for other working classes as
well as for the farmers. If other
readers are interested in the Non
partisan League, 1 will gladly answer
question to the best of my ability In
closing will give benefit derived from
the state hail insurance law. Our
state hail tax easement was $50
on the 800 acres of grain while the
OLD Line company assessment was
$107, that is at the rate of $3.50 per
acre. This year was the first time in
the past four years that we did not
get hailed badly.

The Conventions

Two important events of national
interest will occur in June Of thepres-
ent year, Wis, conventions by the two
principal political parties for the
nomination of presidential candidates.
The location of the Democratic meet
ing staged for San Francisco, by the
Golden Gate, was indeed a happy
thought inasmuch as the person
named threat, whether Wilson or any
other man, will stand no more show
of election than Thompson's mule.
So, then, after the convention is over,
it will only be necessary to open the
Golden Gate and usher the whole out
fit into the glad hereafter to be
known OH earth no more. Amen
With the Republicans at Chicago,
however, the case will be different.
for who ever they rnay nominate,
whether some prominent individual
or a yellow dog. will be elected as
sure as eggs. This because OF the
fact that a majority Of the people
have become so weary of being held
up, knocked down and walked on by
the present administration that in
sheer desperation they are ready TO
vote for anybody or anything that will
