ternatives proposed by the experts,
one contemplated reimbursement on

The other proposed differential

Compilations which have been made

there are only about forty such ships.

GOOD JOKE ON DANISH KING
Monarch Jumped Too Quickly to Con-
cIusion That Eskimo Was
Actuated by Loyalty.

An amusing story of the king of
Denmark's recent visit to Greenland
was recently told by NJ. Aagaard Of the
Danish legation, to members Of the
Danish club in London.
AS the royal yacht was approaching
Greenland dark speck became visible
on the open sea. 1t proved to be a
solitary Eskimo in his little cayak
(native canoe). The Eskimo came OH
board and his loyalty in having braved
the perils of the sea in such frail
craft assured him the warmest of well
comes. The king presented him with
cigar and. what the Eskimos most
highly prize, rifle.
On landing, the king described the
incident to the Danish commissioner
in Greenland and asked him who the
man was.
The commissioner in accents Of hor-
ror, replied: 1.-THE mans an escaped
convict. He broke prison yesterday,

Senator Gooding is spokesman for

'Mr. President, if the Senator will

until the emergency tariff bill was
passed, and until the bill was framed
that is here before the Senate, with
the Senator from North Dakota (Mr.
McCumber), at the head Of the pres
ent Finance Committee, did the farm
ers of this country ever get square
deal from the Republican party. This
is the first time.
II have denounced the Republican
protective measures that have been
passed in the past as far as the farm
er is concerned. He never did have
square deal before. This is the
first time he has ever had it; and l
thank God we have had as chairman
Of that committee a man who has al
ways been a friend of the farmer.
They may send all the Senators they
please here from North Dakota, but
they will never send a better friend
Of the farmer than the chairman of
the Finance Committee during all the
years he has been in the Senate"

Sheriff Arrests Two MinOt Wild
Young Women at Glenburn

Glenburn Advance: Two young
women from Minot were picked up at
Glenburn Sunday by Sheriff Scofield,
Of Ward county. 1t seems that the
young women were craving a little
notoriety and engaged a couple of
riding ponies from Mr.. McGregor at
Minot. When they got out in the
country a short distance they told
persons they met that they were en-
route from St. Louis to Bottineau, and
like stories, evidently just to give the
impression that they were some tour
lists. The ponies were recognized by
several farmers to whom they told
this story and thinking the women
were making a getaway with Mr..
McGregor's horses, they phoned him.
He became alarmed also and soon had
the sheriff after the young women.
They arrived in Glenburn late Satur-
day night and Sunday forenoon the
Sheriff came for them. We under
stand they paid the expense Of send
ing the sheriff after them, and then
were turned loose. Coming here from
Minot they left one Of Mr.. McGregor's
horses with farmer and bought an
other for which they paid $500 cash.
1t seems the women were not lacking
for cash.

First Farm Sale of Season Brings
Good Prices

F. w. Pauling, who held farm
sale at Norwich August 2, is very well
pleased with the prices received, the
sale amounting to considerable more
than he expected. He ran a good
sized display advertisement in the
Independent and had some bills print
ed and while his crowd was not large,
owing to the busy season, everyone
who attended appeared to come to
buy. His horses sold for an average
Of $86.50. One horse brot $4,000, a
four-year-old colt S105 and 21-year-
old horse, blind in one eye sold for
$51. His cows brot good prices, the
highest selling for $72.
Mr.. Pauling will leave in about two
weeks for his old home in Huntington
county, Ind, where he will make his
home. He will make the trip by auto
and Fred Russell, Velva hotel man,
will probably accompany him, going
to his old home in Ohio for vi$it.

Our Family Tree

The editor of the Independent is in
receipt of very interesting book, to
members Of his family at least, in the
form of a genealogical record of the
Colcord family. 1t was published at
Coundersport, Pa, by NJ. j. Colcord,
publisher Of the Potter County Jour-
nal, and the records were compiled by
Dr.. D. B. Colcord of Creswell, Ore.
Edward Colcord was the first of
that name to settle in America, COM
ing to Portsmouth, N. H., from Hants
county, England, about 1881, when he
was Is years of age. The family
name is derived from Cole, an old
English name, and Cote or Cot, cot
tage or house with lands adjoining.
Edwards last name was Colcott, or
Colcord, and just why it was changed,
no explanation was given. The Col
colt "Crest" is a sitting lion Qion
sejant) collared and lined with the
motto, "Dieu Avec Nous," beneath,
which is a part of the coat Of arms Of
the Earl of Berkeley, conferred by au-
thority. The first Earl of Berkeley
was created in 1921. His name was
also spelled Colcott.
When the writer finds time and mo-
ney, perhaps We'll go to England and
scrape acquaintanceship with some
Of the "dooks," lords and other rela-
tives, who'll no doubt be delighted to
meet their bloomin' Yankee cousin.
Perhaps We'll have the crest painted
on our jitney.
1t is rather interesting to read
about ones relatives, even tho you
have never heard of most of them
before. We learned that there were
good many preachers in the family,
several doctors, teachers, professors,
| and one was a governor Of Nevada at
one time. A millionaire cousin lives
in Oklahoma City and we're going to
get we'll acquainted with him. Ac-
cording to the records none of the
family was ever in Jail or in the poor
house.
The writer's grandfather, who trav-
eled on a flat boat from Bath, N. Y,
to Fulton, ILL.,, then known as Bakers
Ferry, settling in Genessee grove, was
the first school teacher in Illinois,
building log room, adjoining his own
log cabin, at his own expense, and
teaching Is pupils free.
Many Colcords fought in the Revo-
lutionary war and in the Civil war ac-
cording to records contained in this
book, and one Colcord was a general
in the British Army during the Revo-
lutiOnarY war.
