Richard H. Emerson, member of
the Minot Park Board, and one of
the old time residents Of this city,
informs the Independent that his
grandfather, Ebenezer Emerson, was
made Mason by Oriental Lodge, No.

was but five years after the death of
George Washington, who was himself
a Mason and Master of the Lodge
at Alexandria. Mr.. Emerson's father
was a Mason and Mr.. Emerson him
self became a member of the Blue
Lodge, Chapter and Commandery at
Atchison, Kan, at the time he was
Master Mechanic of the Missouri Pa
cifc railway. Mr.. Emerson is 76
years Of age and is as active as many
men of sixty. He was born at Saco
Maine.
Mr.. Emerson's Mothers great
grandfather fought in the Revolution
airy war, taking a prominent part in
the battles around Boston.
Ebenezer Emerson, the grand
father, was carpenter. r. II. EN-

Changing Crops is Good Practice

they follow corn with wheat and
wheat after one or two years with
oats or barley. This under the cir

of crop rotation and should therefore
be continued" says Edgar l. Olson,
superintendent Of the State Demon
stration Farms.
Whether to plant a larger or small
er acreage than normal of wheat this
year is question in every farmers
mind. Possibly the thing to do is
to consider the condition Of the land.
It is not worth while to take chance
on getting good wheat year and q

to wheat that you feel will give you

oats.
Under present market conditions
only as much crop should be put in as
can be handled with q minimum Of
expense. It is nice to be big farm
er but it is the net return that counts
in the long run.
The acreage Of cultivated, grass
and legume crops should be increas-

at the expense Of the small grain
crops, especially in the eastern sec

A MATTER OF Toll.
No one that has not been active in
the making of newspaper has even
faint idea Of the toll and the ener-
gy, the sacrifice and the heart inter-
est that goes into every issue of ev-
cry daily paper in every city of Am
erica. Few have any idea of the en-
ormous expense that must be met, of
the problems that arise from a clear
sky and must be settled without an
instants hesitation, problems, often,
whose wrong settlement might mean
fortune if not ruin. The daily pa
per is as near a living thing, pulsing,
warm, keenly alive, as any man.
made product can ever come, as deli
cate as a web and as strong as steel.
cable.
Expecting all things of his news
paper the local business man gives,
as rule, only what he must and the
newspaper is yet to be published
whose advertising department will
fail to hear grumble over its rates.
The fact that there is not an imme-
date and tangible result from every
insertion is the base for ceaseless
and even advertisers of I
years whose whole business has riS-
en- to success through printers ink |
are prone to belittle the part played
by the local paper,
WHEN NEED ARISES.
But should a matter arise wherein
the business man feels the need of |
his paper, should his lodge or his
club or his church desire to give an
entertainment, should his telephone
bill be too high, his street car too
lacking in seats, his treatment by the
corner policeman unkind, his milk
too thin, his children too little taught
in school, his political party too dor
mant-ah. Then he runs to his local
paper for support, for aid and COM
fort. Then he demands re-
ceives-its most valued asset, its
space.
"The public supports the paper,
the paper owes the public space" he
cries. But might he not remember
it is the public that supports him and
he would be aghast should the pub

A business depression settles down,
The first to feel it is the newspaper,
sor the average business man, unless
he is a skilled advertiser of long
standing, cuts first at his advertising
appropriation. In other words, he
cuts away the greatest source of sup
ply of life blood for his ailing busi-
mess. If times are hard" if money
is scarce surely it is obvious that it
will take more coaxing to draw it
from its hiding places. In every
other form of activity and industry
the greater the problem the greater
the energy expended to solve it.
Why, then does the average business
man in times of depression when his
sales are his greatest problem lower
the energy of attack, withdraw his
silent statesmen from the newspaper
columns and sit back grumbling at
the present, sobbing for the past and
crying but faint optimism for the
future.
