Island Pond Defeated at
Orleans by Newport
? No Wrong Decisions ?

The Island Pond Baseball!
team was defeated by Newport
last Thursday at Orleans, in a
somewhat of 'No one knew
what was coming next" game.
The umpires decisions as The
Newport Express and Standard
termed them, were rotten, and
we agree with them. In the
sixth inning a despUte arose
from the umpire's decision on
a ball batted over 1st. base,
which he called a fair ball, Is
land Pond being to bat. New
port claimed it foul. After
about an hour of disputing a.
mong managers, players, fans
and all, they gave in to Island
Pond and the game was then
finished, with a victory for New
port, the score being 4 to 3.
Anyone desiring to get a good
roasting, see DR.. Trenholma, Of
Orleans.

NORTH DAKOTA VS.. ILLINOIS

The recall incident here in North
Dakota is but a trivial matter to con-
front a state administration with when
viewed from the same angle as the
political stencil that has prevailed the
state of Illinois. since the lid was
taken off the pot and the people
got q chance to see the rotteness of
the whole thing. The governor of
Illinois with his cohorts of corporate
greed are fallen and broken idols,
who have been compelled to face
criminal arrest for offences they
stand charged with while sworn un-
der oath to serve the people. The
Governor of Illinois faces prosecution
as a subservient tool of big bust
ness while on the other hand the
Governor of North Dakota is be-
ing prosecuted by the grain gam.
blers who most brutality oppose every
effort on his part to lessen the bur-
den and yoke of servitude of the pro-
ducers of the wealth and prosperity
Of III state. The line of distinction
between the positions in which these
two governors find themselves placed
could hardly be more conspicuously,
held apart by the verdict given
by honest and unprecedented public
sentiment.

Ethel's Bird os
Paradise
By RUBY DOUGLAS

(@. 1921. by Mcclure Newspaper syndicate.)
Ethel was distressed about her
canary bird. He was being contami-
mated by the proximity Of a common
bird that hung in the window Of the
apartment below.
IT don't know how to overcome the
difficulty" she told her chum. "Dickiel
is being absolutely ruined, and you
know what I think Of him. He's a
wonderful roller, and I brought him
East with me and promised to take
him back, so as to have him mated
with another rare bird that belongs to
a bird fancier in our town. It's a
shame"
what harm can a bird downstairs
do your Dickie up here, I want to
know" asked Rose, amused at the in
significant cause Of Ethel's worry.
what harm? Why, that bird is a
chopper-a common chopper. He
makes a lot Of noise, sings all the
time, has lovely feathers, I suppose,
and they-whoever they may be-
probably think he's grand. Dickie-
hears him-he's young, my bird, you
know-and he thinks it smart to imi-
tate those bourgeois notes. I have
closed the windows, but I can't sufffo-
cate just because those people will
keep their common canary in the win
dow, can II"
Rose laughed. well, hardly, Ethel.
Can't you go and wait on these people
and ask them to remove their bird
from the window"
Ethel ADMITTED that she had consid-
cred even this step. ut seems to be a
sort of studio, and / don't know who
lives there she said.
In the course of the next few sunny
mornings her bird so defiantly insisted
on learning the chopping notes of the
common bird downstairs that Ethel
was driven to desperate measures.
Leaving Dickie struggling with the
short, noisy notes he seemed so
enamored of, she went downstairs and
knocked on the door below. A brass
cathedral formed the knocker and she
wondered who the people might be
who had so ordinary a door knocker
and so common a bird.
A young man in smoking coat and
wearing horn-rimmed glasses an
swered her knock.

MADE JOBS TURKEY FAMOUS.
Judge Halliburton Largely Responsible
! for Popularity Of Expression in
Universal Use.

To be "as poor as Jobs turkey is
to have arrived at the extreme of
poverty. This expression has lived
through the years despite the fact
that it is partly erroneous.
Job, when delivered by God into the
hands of Satan, was reduced to a
deplorabte state and according to the
legend, his turkey had but a single
feather in Its tail and was so weak
that it had to lean against the fence
to gather enough strength to gobble.
The turkey was hardly known in
biblical times and even today cannot
be found in the region where Jobs
homestead is supposed to have been
located. So it was perhaps some other
sort of fowl the poor man owned.
There was aatime when the express
sion was heard far more frequently
than it is now. That was in the days
when Judge Halliburton of Nova Scotia
wrote his famous humorous stories
under the nom de plume tSam Slick
and his reference to Jobs turkey was
so frequent that the animal became
as well known in everyday language

MY name is Watson-Gilbert Wat

Ethel turned toward the door and
he held 1t open for her. "sYou are
suresyou don't mind?n asked the girl
as she stepped out.
"On the contrary / am glad to have
become acquainted with the owner Of
Dickie," laughed Watson
He did not like to tell her that she
was the loyeliest thing he had eyer
seen In his life, and that she had quite
upset him, coming in, as she had,
while he was in the midst Of one Of
his most thrilling scenarios. He
found himself unable to concentrate
on the stunts of his hero, and instead
his mind wandered to ways and means
Of subduing, killing or kidnapping his
sisters bird, Pete.
Eventually his plans carried and a
bird fanicer in the neighborhood, pur-
: porting to have heard the lovely notes.
Of one Pete, called upon Miss Watson,
n offered her a most attractive sum
Of money for her Chopper Miss
Watson, being q bit mercenary and
not so discriminating as Ethel as to
the quality Of a birds song, accepted
the mans offer.
After a couple of days of silence on
the part of Pete, Ethel began to be
conscience stricken. She stepped down
below and knocked again with the
brass cathedral.
"Oh. how do your said Gilbert Wat
son, with a more than welcoming
smile. He extended his hand, which,
he realized a%fterward, was not being
done, under such circumstances.
Il hope nothing has happened to
Pete" she began.
Il thought you wanted something to
happen to him."

Ethel.

There is something odd about it."
Ethel ventured. She had an inkling
of the truth, and she appreciated it

Watson said, ~meaningly.s
Ethel blushed furiously. "Would
you care to come up and-and see him
-sometime?"
-"SometimeY When?"
Come tonight. I am having a few
friends in, and I'd love to have you
join us. Bring your sister, too"
But Gilbert said that his sister was

alone.
On a subsequent visit he was dis.

But why?" asked. Ethel.

Which argument Ethel could not

1T HURTS

The other day the Courier News
pointed out as the marketing plan in
the United states exists today it robs
both producers and consumers, and
benefits only a few middlemen.. The
average farmers and average worker
can't buy most of the comforts and
luxuries the retired business nan
wants to sell them, because they do
not get a fair share Of the product Of
their work.
The retail business mar and the
manufacturer suffer equally with the
products, both on the farm and in the
factory, as a result of our present
wasteful marketing system. It is as
much to the interest of the sod tiller
and the manufacturer therefore as it
is to the interest of the farmer and
the worker, that the marketing sys.
tenn be simplified, so that more Of
the products, and less to middlemen
1t means that retailers will sell vast.
ly more.
OF course crops have been poor in
North Dakota this year, but even
an efficient marketing system
would keep millions of dollars in this
state, that for lack of such . system
will go to the middlemen in the Twin
Cities and Chicago, and eventually to
Wall street. Isn't it strange, in
view of this fact. that every business
man in the state. isn't lined up shout
der to shoulder with the farmers and
workers in demanding a marketing
system that will keep North Dakota

Mr.. Zimmerman has the piece of
pipe and the t%estimoney of a
Fargo housewife to prove his
statement.
The pipe was below a sink,
leading from the trap down thru
the floor. and it was in that Sec
ton between the floor and ceiling
below that the rat gnawed his
way thru. The lead pipe is an
inch in diameter slightly more
than an eight of an inch thick.
The rat gnawed a hole in the
pipe averaging an inch in width
and four inches long, in an eff
fort. it is believed, to get to the
grease and other waste which
had drained into the trap from
the sink. The teeth are plainly
visible in the edge of the pipe,
giving the appearance that a fine
chisel had been used. A small
flood which ruined the plaster on
the ceiling below led to the dis.
covery of the depredations of the
rat, which was subsequently
caught in a trap and killed. The
rat cost the owner Of the house

ABOUT FARMERS AND POLITICS


Big business is making every effort
to keep farmers and workers out of
politics. If farmers and worke rs keep
out, then big business can continue
to control-to its vast and continuing
profit Big business in the early days
of the Farm Bureau, tried to control
shat organization in the interest of
sits propaganda, to keep farmers out
of politics.
Rst the Farm Bureau is gettiug
tlnto politics with both feet. The
members have by referendum adopted
"a program of 16 points the enactment
of which absolutely requires political
action The Farm Bureau conference
at ST. Paul this week demanded con.
tgresslonal action on several import
ant matters. And President Burdi.k
OF the North Dakota Farm Bureau
summoned it to when he said:
The Farm. Bureau is not a politi-
c organization. But we don't say
to keep out of politics. We say to
Keep in. according to the dictates
OF your individual conscience"
And the farmer whose conscience
will allow him to keep in politics on
the side of the gamblers and big
bankers and railroad magnates who
are robbing him blind has a mighty
queer conscience indeed.
