Good Crop Report
or M. s. Frise

M. S. Frise Of Minneapolis was in
the city Tuesday calling on his mil
inery trade. Mr.. Frise covers all
of North Dakota and part of eastern
Montana. He says the crops all
along the territory he travels are
looking well and if nothing happens
between now and harvest he looks
for good times and more business
than we have had for several years.
From Minot west, and up north as
far as Scoby, Montana one could
not look for better prospects said
Mr.. Frise. Last spring Mr.. Frises
brother, who is practicing medicine
in Minneapolis, met with severe
automobile accident which laid him
up for many months. He is fully
recovered according to his brother.
DR.. Frise has given several lectures
before the clinic at the Mayo hos
pital at Rochester in the past.

Tourist Are
Denied Right to
Fix Own Cars

q Auto tourists ran against some-
thing new the other day when they
were served with papers for fixing
their own cars within the city limits.
They think it queer deal, but take
it as a joke."-Emerson Journal.
If the Journal is correct in the
above paragraph we are surprised
that the council of Emerson and the
authorities Of Manitoba will stand
for deal Of that kind. Travelling
via automobile is, expensive at the
best but when the citizens of town
insist that you have to go to a gar
age whether you want to or not it
exceeds anything we ever heard and
borders on the laws we read of they
have in Russia. In Pembina a tran
sient often drives into a garage and
does what work he wants to do on
his own car and the proprietors only
charge for what material he uses so
long as he is not in the way Of the
regular force of the shop. But as
far as someone interfering with a
tourist repairing his own car within
the city limits, there is no such
thing.
The Emerson Journal says there
are numerous electricians around
looking for jobs now that the city Is
about to be wired for connection with
the Pembina Light and Power COM
pany's plant.

Plans are being made for two Tri-
County Encampments at Walhalls

Compliment
From ATTORNEY
General
Bismarck, June II. 1922

Bismarck, June II, 1929
Editor, Pioneer Express.
Dear Sir:
have just received the Pioneer
Express of June Is, 1922 with a re-
production of the front page Of the
first issue of the Pembina Pioneer
in 1873. l could not resist the
temptation to take the time to look
over. the old advertisements. It has
brought to my mind the memory Of
men for years prominent in the pub
lie affairs of this state, and of Penn
bina county.
Some of these have passed on but
others are still with us and able to
tell US of the old days and of the
privation and hardships of the .pio-
neers.
Permit me to congratulate you,
personally, for the many years Of
service to your state and to your
county in connection with the pub
lication Of the Pioneer Express.
Your paper has stood for stability,
decency and honesty in government
and in public affairs; it has stood
for the time-honored and tried prin-
ciples of government, as against wild
theories and schemes of dreamers
and selfish agitators.
Forty-four years is long time,
in the comparatively short history
of this section of the country, and
that time has been marked with hon.
or and loyal adherence to principles,
by your paper.
With best wishes for continued
success, and prosperity,
Sincerely yours,
SVEINBJORN JOHNSON.
Attorney General.

Ball Club Must
Have Better Support

The Pembina base ball team is
not receiving the home spport they
deserve and it is likely that the or.
ganization will have to quit unless
people turn out to the home games
better than they do. The admission
charged at each game is nominal and
there is no reason VIII yeverybody
should not be willing to contribute
that little mite to help defray ex.
penses, besides the boys are putting
up game that is credit to the
town and worth the admission of
anybody's money.
It is up to the people of Pembina
if they want the boys to continue the
organization. We have referred to
this matter once before and for a
while the attendance was fairly good.
We blame the management to a
certain extent Tor not advertising
the games better. Getting out bills
a few hours before the game is call
ed is too short notice.
To overcome this and in order to
let the sports from the country and
adjoining towns know when the
games are scheduled the Pioneer Elk
press will from now on publish a list
of the home games as we'll those
our boys are playing elsewhere. In
that way there will not be any ex-
ruse for anyone to stay away.
The base ball organization, like
the band, is an asset to the town
and it is the peoples duty to help
them along. Fill the grand stand
and the bleechers from now until the
end of the season. The boys will do
their duty.

The Erii Eye Itself

strange story Of sorcery aud the
eVli eye has been told by man named
soucaret who has just been arrested j.,
connection with the murder of his son-
ln-law in Garonne.
Soucaret has declared that the death
OF De!ias, his son-in-law, is directly
due to the influence Of an old man
named FACET, who has been known for
many years throughout the COUNTRYSIDE
as soothsayer, charm worker and
general cure-all. FACET is nearl1.
eighty years old and for some time
past has been unfortunate in the mat
ter OF bad crops and the loss Of sheen
and cattle. soucaret says that FACET
at last pronounced Delias to have the
evil eye, maintaining that the latter
was the cause OF ali his misfortunes.
He then called a family council ~
which the wife OF the murdered man
and several farm hands were present.
and So says Soucaret. it WIS one Of
these latter VINO actually struck tho
