Tomatoes After Frost.
Tomato vines usually have a large
quantity Of unripened fruit when the
frosts come. 1t is customary to use
much of this for pickles. but the frost
need not put an end to ripe tomatoes.
IF the vines are pulled, or if they are
cut and the ends sealed with paraffin
or sealing wax. they can be hung up
In "a cool cellar and the tomatoes Will
ripen and often last for six weeks.
Another plan is to pick the tomatoes,
wrap them in papers. and place them
I'm shallow boxes or baskets.
Lima beans should be picked before
the frost and spread on a slightly
moist cellar floor. where they can be
kept fresh two weeks. They should
be turned from time to time TO keep
them from molding.

10th, at p. M. :.

S. Johnson, candidate for attorney
general in the recall election against
VIM. Lemke, will speak at Braddock
on Monday, October 10th, at l p. m.
The league papers have published col
umns of rubbish about Mr.. johnson
since he became a candidate, and the
people of northeastern Emmons owe
it to themselves to go to this meet
ing and get a first-hand idea of the
man. Any person who runs for office
against the Nonpartisan League must
be ready to face barrage from the
mud batteries of the "anti-farmer non
partisan, league"
There iszvery little money available
this year with which to put on this
campaign. Hence, there will be but
few speakers out. The chance to hear
johnson may be the only chance to
hear the issue discussed in northeast
ern Emmons county.
Remember the date: johnson, can

dock on Monday, October 10th, at. /

get out a crowd to hear him.

TEACHERS WARRANTS DIS.
COUNTED

The Record has been informed that
one of the gentlemen who was recent
ly defeated for place on the Linton
board of education has made the claim
that the newly elected school board
had increased the teachers salaries
five per cent. Investigation proves
that such a statement is absolutely
untrue. What has happened is that
the banks have refused to cash the
salary warrants without a discount of
five per cent, and the board had to
make good that discount last month,
or the teachers would have quit.
There is no money in the school
fund with which to cash these war
rants, but the present board is in no
way responsible for that condition.
They were handed an empty treasury
by the old board. The schools must
be kept going, and the teachers must
have their pay to keep them from
quitting. The board did the only
thing possible, but they hope to get
things in shape soon so that the teach
ers can get their pay, and the dist
riot will not then have TO- make good
any discount charged by the banks
because there are no funds to cash
the salary warrants.

NORTH DAKOTA: 1LL1TERAcY

Washington, D. C.-According to
the census of 1920 there are 9,937 il
literate persons ten years of age and
over in the state of North Dakota,
"illiterate" meaning unable to write.
OF this number 335 are native whites
Of native parentage, 972 are Of for
eign or mixed parentage, 1928 are Of
foreign birth and 1874 are Indians.
In the total population ten years Of
age and over the percentage Of litter
acy is 81, which, it is gratifying to
note, shows 9 diminution since 1910,
when it was 81.
By counties the percentage Of illit-
eracy ranges from 160 in Sioux coun-
" to 0.3 in Foster and Griggs coun-
ties.

REGARDING THE ELECTRIC
LIGHT PLANT

The Record has received the follow
ing letter which explains itself:
l have read your article published
last week and l do not think you have
stated the case fairly. In fairness to
all you should have stated that Stras-
burg has built their own line from
Linton to Strasburg and has also wir-
ed their own town and furnished all
the necessary transformers, and fur
thermore they use about ten times as
much current as is used for street
lighting in Linton.
I think that you will find that it is
customary for towns to furnish or
pay for all wiring that is used solely
for the lighting of the street, which
is no more than fair. I think also
that you find the directors willing to
do the fair thing at any turn of the
road and the people of the town should
boost and not "knock."
& A Stakeholder.
we mlsht say CnaC We stated the
case as members Of the city council
stated it to us. We have no desire
to be unfair to the light plant-the
Record man has 5000 tied up in the
plant himself. However, it did seem
rather unreasonable to ask the city
to furnish everything and pay fifteen
cents while Strasburg furnishes ev-
erything" and pays only eight cents.
Of course, the line from Strasburg to
Linton cost more than the Linton city
system, even including the "wh:te
way"
The Record cannot believe that the
city council wants anything that is
not fair, and. and we believe that our
public officials should be backed up
when they are trying to protect the
interests of the public. This the Rec
ord desires to do even though it's pub
Usher has an actual financial interest
in the light plant himself.
Further, we believe there should be
some way of forcing the proper part
les to furnish necessary street lights.
The old town has practically none, and
corners in the new town that formerly
had lights have lost them in some un-
kown way.

Dear Friend:
The Superintendent of Transporta-
tion for the National Dairy Show, E.
"A. Wilson, of Fargo, made arrange
ments with the railroads for 16 sec
tion tourist cars, but last night he was
advised that due to the shortage of 16
section tourists, the Pullman company
could only furnish IA section cars.
Mr.. Wilson tried to make other ar
rangements, but was unable to do SO
and we are therefore, forced to use
ID section tourists. This means a loss
Of two sections or a shortage Of $2S
per car. This figures a further charge
of $1.00 per berth so it will be nec-
essary to charge $500 per berth rath-
er than $500.
Please make this correction in YOUR
papers and circulars that were sent
you this week. The charge of $500
still warrants calling. your attention
to the cheapness of this tour. See the
movie houses and encourage the use
Of slides, as was suggested by the
circular letter to them Friday. Many
movies are doing this.
Let's boom this educational train
tour to the Dairy Show along. Thanks
to you.

AMERICAN LEGION NOTES

7th, at which time several important
things will come up for action. For
the benefit Of those who cannot at
tend, will say that some of them will
be the report of the delegates to the
state convention at jamestown, the or
ganization of an auxiliary, the assign
ing of the rifles to the firing squad,
and making arrangements for suit
able program on Nov 11th, and such
other business as may come up in the
meantime. A full attendance is re-
qnested.
It has come to the attention of the
Commander that several ex-service
men have not put in application for
the North Dakota bonus. Do not
delay this Write to-day to the Ad-
tant General, Bismarck, N. D., for the
blanks and get it on the way.
Some of the boys seem to intend to
get three square meals week from
now on .as they have been getting
marri.d or have taken out licenses to
marry. Ameng them we remember
Otto Becker, George Williams, and the
hast orr, is J. j. Rqhrich.
At last the rifles iiHsued iby the gov
ernment have arrived, being some ten
in number, as well as belts and 1000
rounds Of blank ammunition. Ought
to be able to get "a firing squad shoot
ing together after using that many
blanks. These rifles will be assigned
to the men at the next meeting, so
that thy will be kept in shape and
will be on hand when needed.
Dan R. Richardson Post has right
to feel highly honored for the reason
that although being only small post
in small town we are able to get
one Of our delegates picked as one
,of the delegates to the National Con-
vention at Kansas City. Past Com
mander #. b. Streeter was selected
to represent this district along with
th1he others, and to say that we are
elated over the fact is stating it
mildly. We will have not only the
benefit of having report direct from
the State Convention, but the Nation
al as well
( Another thing, for the benefit Of
those who cannot attend the meeting:
The daily press carried a report that
every member Of the Legion would
be assessed so cents to make up al,
overdraft, which was incurred by the
state officers the past fiscal year. This
is not true. This motion was killed,
mainly through the efforts Of our del
efgate, Streeter, and "a motion made
and carried appointing Budget
Committee, who are cutting the.
expenaes down so that from now on
there will only be spent the amount
raised as well as applying q good1y
amount to clean up the Indebtedness
which has been incurred in the past
The only way to thoroughly UNDER
stand this matter is to be present.
