THE BIRTH OF THE NEW YEAR.

L
(By Vallie NJ. Seitz.)
Of the threads Of our lives was the
old year spun,
Fen 80 will this upstart our days
pursue.
(There's the passing year, here's the
coming one.
There are sighs and tears for the year
that's done;
Speed the parting and welcome the
new.
(Of the thread Of our lives was the
old year spun.)
There's an anxious wish for the one
begun;
May it's smiles be many, its tears
be few.
(There's the passing year, here's the
coming one.)
All, would that we might their pass
ing shun,
And live in the Eden of those first
two.
(Of the thread of our lives was the
old year spun.)
And now his uneven course is run:
With remorse does he whisper his
last adieu.
(There's the passing year, here's the
coming one.)
But dawn is breaking, and morning
Points sanguine finger of rosy hue.
(Of the thread of our lives was the
old year spun,
There's the passing year, here's the
coming one.)

In one tent some five or six of our
youngest and widest lads, "birds Of a
feather quartered together who in a
spirit of mischief and total disregard
for army rules and regulations caus-
ed more annoyance than the rest Of
the company combined. They were
always missing roll calls at reveile,
tardy in falling in for drills and other
duties and withal were fine fellows
generally. There was nothing small
or mean in the make up of those lads,
just pure mischief and that spirit
kept them doing extra duty almost
constantly. What punishment was
meted out to the fun loving boys was
within the ranks of our own company
as it was unthinkable that members
of the Deltas should be sent to the
guard house to mix with the tough
characters often confined therein.
That l was kept busy by that crowd,
protecting them, as it were, against
their own acts goes without saying.

bushels of wheat to the acre the fol-
lowing season. The lupine seed are
oval shaped and nearly as big as a
small pea. Saradella seed is seeded
in the spring with other grains. At
harvest time it is about stubble high
and makes splendid pasturage. At
ter the harvest the cattle are turned
into the fields and wax fat on sara
della grass. The grass continues
green until it freezes up in the fall.
Mr.. Schiewek had been trying to get
some Of the two kinds Of seed for
several years, but on account of the
general disorder in Germany was i'm
able to obtain it. His sister resident
there obtained the ten pounds at a
cost Of $3.50 per pound and mailed it to
him parcels post, the postage being
no marks, only IS cents in American
money. Some time ago he inquired
of the Agricultural College regarding
what information that institution
might have on both lupine and sara
della, and received a reply that they
knew nothing about either, with the
request that when he received his con-
slgnment of seed from Germany he
send them pound Of each for expert
mental purposes. Upon receipt of the
seed ME-. Schiewek complied with the
request. He will SOW what he retain
ed as it is sown in Germany and ex-
poets to get enough from the first
crop to plant sufficient acreage the
succeeding year to determine it's
adaptibility to this soil and climate

e. G. Schiewek recently received
10 pounds of two kinds of seed from
Germany, half of which is called
"lupine" seed and the other half "sara-

ripen for the necessary seed for the
succeeding season. Mr.. Schewek

FIRE EBURNSST0RE;
AT ANTELOPE
BIG GENERAL STORE OWNED BY
HENDRICKSON. AND ONSTAD
DESTROYED BY FIRE SATUR-
DAY MORNING DEC. 18TH.

The village Of Antelope was visited
by another disastrous fire Saturday
morning when the large general store
known as the Hendrickson Store was
burned to the ground, causing sew
eral thousand dollar loss.
The fire is thought to have been
started from an overheated stove as
the cold snap at that time of the fire
had kept the stoves going to the linn
it.
The fire was discovered at about
LOO in the morning and the citizens
Of Antelopes made a strong fight to
save something from the flames but
to little avail.
The loss is a heavy one to Mr.. Hen
erickson and Mr.. Onstad, coming es-
pecially at the height of the Christ
mas season when large sales were in
| order and when a large supply Of
| Christmas articles were on hand.
It is not known whether Mr.. Hen
erickson will rebuild or not, but he is
seriously considering the same.

100 PER CENTER
PLEADS GUILTY

A. J. Markuson, poo hall man of
Raymond, who was arrested Tuesday,
December 18th and brought before
Judge L. S. Olson, but who pleaded
mot guilty. and demanded a trial,
changed his mind after thinking the
matter oyer and came into Judge Oh
sons court last Wednesday and plead
guilty to operating slot mchine, or
in other words a gambling devise.
The judge imposed fine of S100 on
Markuson which was paid.
Mr.. Markuson during the campaign
and in the general walks of life does
not think much of the Nonpartisan
league and like great many others
in that class put themselves up as
100 per cent Americans as against
the bolsheviks, socialists and other
imagined foes to our country. Those
who make their living by filching from
others without giving them full value
in return for their money are gener-
ally found to be in this class.

and pantomine. The Christmas story
was read by Rev. Boone while the
children of the Sunday School acted
the parts in pantomime. Appropriate
Christmas music was sung by the
choir and children as the theme of
the story demanded. The program
was given in five scenes. The first
two scenes were the appearing of the
angel to Mary and Joseph foretelling
the birth of Christ. Then came the
announcement to the shepherds by the
angel. The third was the scene of
King Herold and the wise men. The
fourth scene was the Nativity with
the arrival of the shepherds, then the
wise men guided by the star and fin
ally the coming of the children. The
main characters were: Vera Collins as
the angel, Marie Riba as Mary,
Marion Mitchell as Joseph and Mr.. +.
T. Mitchell as Herod. They were all
in appropriate costumes and the col
ored lighting effect added very much
to the program. After the panto-
mime came the Christmas tree and the
treat for the children. At the end,
the scene of Mary, the Babe and the
angel was again enacted while the
audience sang one verse of Silent
Night. The program was a little diff
ferent from any ever given in Plen-
tywood and seemed to be thoroughly
enioyed by every one present.

farmers club at Finley, N. D., supplied
with latest press. news from all parts
of the United States.

M IOlIvIDENIDS FIRST time in YEARS

pany Organization, is showing it's re-
suit on the finances of the Company.
Rather than settle the strike
with its men. it has spent mil
lions of dollars employing guards
by the hundreds. Thousands of
men and boys have been pack
ed into its shops, boarded free
for long period and in many
cases have been paid double and
triple what they would have had
to pay to their striking employees
who are experienced and compet-
ent mechanics.
This is not the end of the Great
Northern's difficulties, however. Thous-
ands of it's most experienced me-
chanics are still on strike and thew
are generally the ones who were long
est in it's employ. They are determin-
ed to stay away from the property
unless a settlement is reached with
full recognition of their Trades Union
organizations, which these men have
been affiliated with all of their lives,
some as long as 35 years. Some, COM
paratively few, mechanics have given
up the fight and have returned to the
service with rancor in their hearts to-
ward the Company, and this smoul-
dering hate toward a Company that
has forced them to relinquish their
union affiliations, breeds i'll for the
class of service they will give.
The demoralized service that the
Company is giving can only go on to
worse as time passes. Locomotive
long overdue for shopping and neces-
sary repairs will continue to deterio-
rate and the transportation problem
for the next year will be even worse
than it is at the present time. The
American Public is long suffering
one, but when awakened will strike in
it's might, as the recent election re-
suits prove.
Railroad management puts up big
hue and cry when consolidation or
public ownership or control is broach-
ed, but the present attitude of the
management indicates that they are
blind to the fact that their competent
men are finding employment ON roads
that have settled or in other indus
tries,s that their power will soon be in
almost irreparable condition, that the
losses of business now being turned by
shippers to other roads may become
more or less permanent and that a
settlement of the strike much longer
deferred may result in a form of
Government Operation or control that
will eliminate the graft and guarantee
that they WEIGHED from the treasury
during the Worlds War period.
The Public should realize the
importance of the issue. Labor
cannot be crushed and although
sometimes it experiences setbacks
and oppression, the service due
the Public rests on the shoulders
of Labor and when adequate ser
vice is demanded by the Public it
will find that after all Labor has
asked for very little in return for
that service.

BIG DEATH TOLL
AMERICAN MACHINERY CLAIMS
$4,000 LIVES AND ABOUT 3,00O,-
900 VICTIMS IN ONE YEAR.

Washington-Twenty-three thous-
and killed and 100000 injured in the
peaceful" industries Of the United
States during one year following the
end of the world war is the record
compiled and sent broadcast by radio
from the United States public health
service.
In New York state alone, this Of
fetal statement says, there were 81, )
O84 accidents in industry That means
five out Of every 100 persons employ
ed were either killed or manned at
their work.
The loss of life, limb or eyesight to
the millions Of workers directly in
volved does not measure the conse-
ouence of this butchery. To this must
be added the thousands of families
left destitute by the loss or perman-
ent incapacity Of breadwinners-
none of. whom are protected by wal
risk insurance or soldiers bonus.
"How largely the matter of indus
trial accidents enters into the cause
of our social ills [ am not prepared
to state definitely" one investigator
for the health service says, "but an
bold to opine that it constitutes one
of the largest causes of poverty anc
consequent dependency"
Accidents caused by careless work
ers are comparatively few, the an
nouncement states, adding that Gin
dustry as such is primarily respon
sible for many of the risks and dan
gers. incidental to it. A study of ac
cidents during period of Is months
made by the industrial commission o.
Wisconsin, showed that over rs PEI
cent were caused by machinery, about
20 per cent resulted from some flying
object, 13 per cent to falls, 10 per CEN
to handling objects, 8 per cent from
hand tools, etc.
A large part Of this startling radio
bulletin is devoted to explaining how
proper safeguarding of employees b!
the owners of plants might reduce ths
