MEET FRIDAY
TO BE IMPORTANT

The regular meeting of the Elks
which will be held tomorrow, Friday,
evening, at 8 p. m, will be one Of the

and large attendance is urged. Plans

boxes to the poor, which was inau-
gurated during the administration of

FARMERS INSTITUTE TO BE
HELD AT LINTON

Arrangements have been made by
local committee for Farmers In
stitute to be held at the court house,
Linton, On February Sd, 2 and 8 p. m.
The Farmers Institute, like every
thing else is changing. The pres
snt day institute, instead of discuss
ing only greater production, travels
the entire road with the farmer in
that it takes up production, market
ing and spending the money.
In production emphasis is placed on
careful selection of seed or breeding
stock. Proper cultural and handling
practices receive attention.
Marketing is handled from a broad
viewpoint. Methods that have pro-
ven profitable under nearly similar
circumstances, are the ones advo-
Gated.
In spending the money the need of
modern farm homes, community GEN.
ters and better schools are the things
set forth.

SOCIALIST sUPPREssOR OF Ev'
IDENCE WORKS FOR STATE

New York, Jan. 11.-Spurgeon
O'Dell, special representative of the
Bank of North Dakota, at Bismarck,
N. D., is in New; York attempting
to sell to distributing bankers here
$6,5O0,000 of state of North Dakota
bonds. Thus far, Mr.. O'Dell says,
he has experienced no success in in
teresting local bankers, who have told
him they were skeptical of the re-
ception his bonds would receive at the
hands of the investing public.
The Spurgeon O'Dell mentioned in
this dispatch is the same O'Dell who
became converted to socialism at a
Debs meeting; according to the APP
peal to Reason. He is the man who
helped organize the Bank of North
Dahora, ana then became vice presi-
dent of the Scandinavian-Americ
State Bank that financed league en-
terprises by the help of state funds.
O'Dell is also the man who disap-
peared with considerable evidence
when H. G. Hagan, president Of the
Scandinavian-American State Bank,
was tried and convicted in Fargo on
a criminal charge.
>O'Dell surely ought to be the ideal
chap to handle the financial deals Of
the Bank Of North Dakota on Wall
street.

EQUITY MEAT PLANT CHIEF IS
ASSAILED
Co-operators' Herald Charges Casey
Made False Statements to
Stockholders

Farmers of Emmons county are
heavily interested in this institution,
probably more than 100000 worth
Of stock having been sold.
Fargo, N. D., Jan. 14.-The> Co.
operators Herald, official publication
for the Equity Cooperative exchange,
charges in an article that P. Nj.
Casey, president of the Equity Co.
operative Packing company here, has
reported the plant "has lost large
sums of money!" and that "it is in a
serious condition."
The article also charges the financial
statement made to stockholders at
their annual meeting, Jan. 20, 1920,
did not represent the actual condition
of the company at that time and that
inventories of meats in storage made
it appear that the company had great
er resources than it actually had.
It is intimated that an investigation
VIII be asked by the stockholders at
their annual meeting here next
Thursday.
The article concludes:
"The Equity Cooperative exchange
still stands ready to assist in any way
it can with safety to itself and its
2,100 stockholders in many states, but
could not have any financial advances
without knowing the condition of the
packing plant.
ut is to be hoped that this splen-
did example of farmer enterprise can
be preserved for the farmers who
have sacrificed to get it started, for
failure would be a blow to cooperative
enterprises of all kinds for years to
come, and its success a. distinct
achievement of great Importance.

It is the purpose of the corps to

HORSE DOCTORS HAVE NEW
WRINKLE
Men by the Name of Walker. From
Wishek, Are Holding Meetings
Throughout County Signing Up
Farmersl

Hardly a year goes by but some
new scheme to relieve the farmer of
some of his loose change is hatched
up. The latest thing going the
rounds in Emmons county is a plan
whereby couple of horse doctors
by the name of Walker, from Wishek,
are signing up farmers at from s25
to $45 in return for promise of vet
Urinary assistance for one year.
These men have been having an
excellent financial harvest, and have
been taking in so much territory, that
the Record became curious to know
aboat them. We called up parties at
Wishek, their home, for information.
and were Informed that they had been
using the same system in that neigh
borhood, but that their sevices were
generally unsatisfactory, and they
had therefore worked farther from
home with their plan.
These veterinarians are duly H.
censed, and are strictly within the
law in their plan. However, every
Indication is that those who 20 into
their plan will be deeply disappoint-
ed. In fact, the Record knows of
three separate cases already in the
Hazelten neighborhood where their
services were absolutely unsatisfac-
tory, and another veterinary was
called. They have also been working
the Westfield country.
Every farmer is his own Judge of
how he spends his money. How
ever, the wise one will go slow on
this new proposition until it shows up
more favorably than at present.

Linton, North Dakota, Thursday, Jan. 20, 1921.

He has helped to bring about the
erection of many community build
ings owned jointly by the business
men and the farmers of the vicinity.
Mr.. Karr's entertainers were con-
tracted for last summer by some
thirty Linton business men. When
the time came for the first series of
entertainment, we were up against it
for a r!ace to give the numbers. The
affair not being for profit, and intend
ed for the benefit of the public gen.
orally, Auditor Brant gave the use of
the court room. A large crowd at
tended each of the three perror-
mances.
The contract calls for series of
four programs, each lasting two
nights, and one afternoon. The OH
er numbers will be delayed slightly
so as to secure favorable weather for
giving them at the Park.

LYNN MAKES ATTACK ON
DuHEAUME

Former States Attorney Geo. W..
Lynn, who was recently defeated by
Chas. Coventry for reelection, has
"gone gunning," figuratively speak
ing, for County Commissioner du
Heaume, who has never been amen
able to Lynn's dictation. Mr.. Lynn's
pet hobby is the construction of a
bridge some ten or twelve miles south
west of Linton. He claims the
bridge was unnecessary and a waste
of county funds.
However, the bridge was built on
order Of the entire board of county
commissioners, not alone Mr.. du
Heaume. Further the Record man
has repeatedly travelled the road in
question, and is fully familiar with
the location CT same. The crossing
there has been one of the worst in the
south end of the counSy, and more
than one accident has resulted. 1t
was necessary to have bridge, eth
er on the section line, where it was
built, or to the west of it. Had a
more western location been chosen. it
would have been necessary to buy a
right-of-way, and built a bridge. too,
This attack made by Mr.. Lynn is
nothing but child's play on the part of
man smarting under highly-merited
defeat for office. That bridge was
built many months ago, when Mr..
Lynn was states attorney. How
ever, his big howl comes now when he
IS getting even" with some of those
who helped defeat him for reelection.
Mr.. Lynn is a very vengeful sort
of person, but is not always success
full in crucifying his enemies as thor
oughly as he should like

fleld Artlilery, 35th DIVISION. 4,
Yes, me and my good friend, Mi
randy Watson, has joined the aux
iliary of the American Legion, and we
amt neither of US what you'd call
jiners at that, not belonging to more's
seven or eight organizations apiece.
But if we had to drop everything else,
I'd a'gone into the auxiliary.
We talked it over, Mirandy and me.
and come to the conclusion that there
amt nobody much agoin to remember
that our boys went acrost the sea
to fight for liberty, except those of us
whose hearts went right along with
them. Other folks may have .purts
of remembering, like when the 35th
reunion was held, but it amt acortlin'
to nature that they'd kneel mentally
before our boys for the ideals that
made 'em feel that there was other
things more precious than their lives.
But US that underwent the agony of
waiting for news and wonderin'-
wonderin-nights when other folks
was sleeping-we amt never forgot
ten, nor couldn't if we wanted to.
1t is scar scared into our souls
but it's scar we're more proud Of
than anything the good Lord ever
sent us.
Now that it's up to us to let the
boys know that their valor amt al
together forgot, it sorter seemed to
Mirandy and me that we'd oughta
join the auxiliary SEEM as the Boys
belonged to the Legion.
During the time they was in the
training camp and in France, we'd
been held together by great COM
mon tie, and the most comfort we
got was outen the Military Sister
hood. 1t was a sweet association.
and nothin' can take away the men,
ory of it.
All over the United States there
was women organizations Of rela-
tivea of the soldiers that sprung up,
and with practically the same motive
for mutual helpfulness and comfort.
and to do what could be done for the
soldiers.
Some, like the Military sisterhood,
spread out several states, but there
want none of 'em which spread into
all the states. There amt nobody
can compute the apiritual v.Iuo +h.+
those organizations was in keeping
up the morale Of the women at home
during the war, and that, everybody
knows, KEEP up the morale Of the boys
in the trenches. And then the war
ended and the boys come home and
there was fireworks and speech

BAND BOYS ENTERTAIN
Business Men of Linton Enjoy Pro-
gram in Lodge Hall. Music,
Pictures and Lunch Are Order of
Evening.

The band boys entertained the bus
iness men of Linton last Friday night
in the lodge hall overthe drug store.
Those who were invited were the per-
sons who donated last summer to the
band in return for series of concerts
given at Seeman Park on Sunday af-
ternoons.
There was a large crowd present,
and they enjoyed the evening heartily.
First, the band, under the leadership
of DR.. Smith, played several se1ec-
tions. Then various persons in the
audience were called upon for re-
marks. The band, the park, the
need of community club, and similar
matters were discussed. A few
further numbers by the band were
then enjoyed, and moving pictures
were then shown. The Emmons
county movies put out by the state
immigration department, and which
set Emmons county back about three
thousand plunks, were displayed.
These pictures were followed by q
movie drama. The evening was COM
rleted by the serving of a light
lunch, and sort of general discus
sion of civic matters.
The get-together not only showed
the appreciation of the band for help
given it, but was an ideal chance for
a discussion of matters pertaining to
the town in general. Similar meet
ings held oftener would be q good
thing:
