issue) that it the "only shop in the
county with equipment. sufficient to
give service on the county printing"
The Courant is well equipped to
handle the County Printing and so is
The Farmers Advocate. This shop took
care of the county printing as official
paper years ago while hand type-set-
ting was still in use, and yet the work
was done satisfactorily; while with
the newer equipment, such as the Limo
raph, it is amply able to care for the
official work of the county. We have
not yet become so egotistic that we
think we r the whole thing when it
comes to a matter of printing. We
know of four other plants in Bottineau
county, including The Courant, which
are capable of handling the county
printing and give good service. Do you
as an honest citizen think that any one
paper should be given a lifetime
monopoly on the county printing? The
Courant has enjoyed being subsidized
in this manner for eight of ten years.
Would it not be fair to pass this
along? We r. not making any WON
derful claims, but we do claim that
if elected as the Official Newspaper
of Bottineau county that the service
rendered will meet with the fullest ap-
prevail Of the taxpayers of the county.
In asking your vote for The Farm
ers Advocate we appeal to your sense
of fairness as a good citizen. Look for
the name-The Farmers Advocate
on the ballot November 7th, and make
your to the right of same.
Respectfully yours,
THE FARMERS ADVOCATE,

THE FARMERS PRAYER

(The following known as "The
Farmers Prayer all over the Middle
West, originated in Garden County
Nebraska.)
Lord, I am only a farmer. Thou
knowest that when wheat was So pei
bushel and I had flour and sugar In
the house and cake and pie every time
l wanted it, ] was not satisfied ano
voted for a. change.
Thou knowest that l wore a Hard.
ing badge and was faithful in al
things to the G. o. P. .
Even so Thou knowest that I be-
lieved in the dawn of the new day
and that woolswould advance in price
that I would get So for wheat and &c
cents for my pork.
Two years have gone by never tx
return and I am too poor to buy the
necessary Rockefeller for my Henry;
still I wear a Harding badge, but it's
on the seat of my overalls.
I am thankful for one thing, that
Harding has been able to make jack
rabbits taste good in the summer time
I pray thee that thou wilt keep them
replenished SO that I shall not want.
I am glad toathou has prospered the
railroads and that they have been able
to keep up their freight rates when
my corn would not pay expenses OF
gathering, and l pray thee that thou
wilt continue to uphold Mellon that
he may be able to collect for years,
interest on the funds of his own bank
account for it is a righteous course.
Teach me to pray: Our Father who
are in Washington, Harding be his
name; his Kingdom come, his. will be
done even to beating the soldiers out
of their bonus. Give us each day our
daily cornbread that Wilson tried to
make us eat for two years and Hard
ing had us eating in three months,
and lead us not in temptation to vote
for a democratic president, for Hard
ing got all the power and Mellon all
the money, Rockefeller all the oil and
me the patched trousers for ever and
ever, Amen.

GAINS VOTES

Last weeks Advocate claims 1.-THE
Farmers Advocate ran a close second,
considering, materially reducing the
majority two years ago." That much
of the statement is right, but the read
er would naturally believe from the
above that the Advocate received more
votes this election than in 1920 but
they are 149 votes short of the vote
they received two years ago. In the
1920 election The Courant needed 444
more votes to double the Advocate,
this year we are short just 429 votes
of doubling the Advocate vote. In Bot
tineau The Courant received just SO
votes in the 1920 election while this
year we received 155 votes in Botti-
neau.

NEWSPAPER EQUIPMENT

: The Advocate scribe accuses The
Courant of printing misleading state
ments in the issue of Oct. 10Th in
which The Courant said that it is the
only shop in the county with equip
ment sufficient to give service on the
county printing. Since our statement
is considered misleading by The Advo-
cate we must take issue with him. We
still maintain The Courant is the only
shop IN the county with equipment suf-
ficient to give service to the vast
amount of work involved with being
the Official paper. There are times
when commissioners proceedings, tax
lists, abstracts of votes, etc., have to
be handled on short notice and The
Courant is the ONLY shop in the
county able to do this in a reasonable
amount of time. Right now our force
is working hard getting into type the
tax list for 1921 and it would be an
mpossibility for the Advocate with it's
squirlaent to get this up in time for
publication. What they would have to
do and which they did do when Off
cial was to have the job set in Grand
Forks or some other town where
equipment similar to what The Cour-
ant has, will be found. When the Ad-
vocate was official paper and proceed
ings were published, Continued Next
Week, was a familiar line at the bot
tom Of q column or so of this official
matter. Of course Wilson does not
know the printing business and pos
sibly should be excused for telling
something he knows nothing about.
The Advocate says that The Courant
has been the official paper for the
past s on 10 years but the records
s1ow that at the first meeting of the
Commissioners In January 1919 the
Advocate was designated official pa
per along with the Westhope Stand
ard and the Willow City Eagle, How
ever IN August 1919 The Courant was
appointed official paper by the State
Publication and Printing Commissions

would seem something like three and

IN POLITICS

A Franklin man was a candidate
for Office and, while electioneering
called each day on the boys in one
of the newspaper Offices. He was
usually greeted before the election
with the question:
well, Bill, how's everything to-
day."
A few days before the election
Bill was feeling rather self-satisfed
and said confidently, in answer to
the usual greeting:
well, boys, it beats the devil how
exerybody's for me-
The day following the election
| found Bill overwhelmingly defeated
but, nevertheless he called on the
boys as usual. 1t was embarrassing
and only one old printer had the
courage to say:
well, Bill, how goes it?"
Bill braced up and exclaimed
Boys, it beats the devil how they
lie."

FIRST HOME OF DANIEL BOONE
ALMOST IN RUINS

Deteriorated by the elements it
has withstood for. 1872 years, the
stone house in the foothills of Exc
ter township, Berks county, Pa,
where Daniel Boone, the Kentucky
pioneer, was born, is slowly falling
to ruin from lack of care. Until
two years ago the house had been
tenanted and the necessary repairs
made, but now it is deserted, the
cellar full of water, windows bro
ken, floors decaying and the 160
acres of estate are uncared for.
The farm is situated about one
and a half miles from Stonersville.
The lane leading to the premises is
marked by a large white rock by the
Historic Society Of Berks county, on
which is the inscription: Zone quar-
ter mile to the birthplace of Daniel
Boone, October %, 1888"
In this connection it may be said
that some authorities give the date
of his birth as 1874 and 1875, and
his birthplace Bucks county, Penn
sylvania.
According to history Boone stayed
here until he was II years OF age,
when he went to Kentucky. Tradi-
| ton has it that it was nearby that
he killed his first bear when he was
IA years old, and he was so proud
of his achievement that he carved
an inscription on a tree with his
hunting knife, reading: I'D. Boone
killed a bear near here"
The house has four rooms on the
first floor, six on the second and ar
attic. The original Boone dwelling
had two rooms on the first floor ant
three on the second, but an addition
similar to the original in every re
spect was made after the famil!
migrated.
One of the original rooms con
tains a large fireplace made of stone
and still in good condition. Her

: tradition, it was, that young Boon
carved a notch indicating his heigh
when he went to Kentucky, and up
on his return in middle-age was In
l terested to see how much he ha'
4 grown. However, the historic motel
: cannot be discovered ON the mantle
piece.
The-shutters and doors of tn
!. dwelling are hung on wrought irol
hinges and still are in good coDdi
ton, but many of the windows ar
broken, permitting rain and snoN
to enter and causing the floor to de
cay.

That the Burley Tobacco Grow
