BIDDY PROTESTS

| celebrate the good old days when
no one checked upon our lays. These
modern methods make me sick, thus
spake old Biddy Dominick. We laid
to please ourselves you bet, folks took
what frseh eggs they could get. We
were not kept a narrow yard in but
wandered freely through the garden;
for every hen and every chicken had
ALI out doors to scratch and pick IN,
and as we ambled here and there of
every crop we took our share. Al
though we roasted oft in trees and
shivered in the midnight breeze, no
sane man looked for winter eggs nor
watched the color of our legs. We
slept at night like Christian folks and
had no wishto make more yolks; but
now we stay up half the night and
lay our eggs by Mazda light. If
should go too soon to slumber some
watchful gent would take my number
Of proper privacy divested, were
caught and pinched an dweighed and
tested. This culling business I pro-
test; I'm growing old, l want to rest
but I must still perform as rated OF
have my old head amputated. If l my
self escape the block, some friends
are missing from the flock and when
the honeymoon is over, they seize and
execute my lover, yea when the
Matching seasons done they swat my
husband and my son.-BOB ADAMS

MCGRATH JOB RE-
STORED TO HIM

Dickinson, N D. Sept. $50. Nc
Grath becomes at least temporarily
the chief game warden in the second
district again. Mr.. McGrath was re-
moved over four months ago by the
game and fish commission and W. +.
Reko of Mandan appointed in his
place.
Three weeks ago Judge Berry
granted a temporary restraining or
der against Reko functioning as game
warden ard against the game and
fish commission for interfering with
McGrath in discharge of his duties.
This injunction was made permanent
by Judge Pugh in Dickinson Satur-
day. 1t is likely an appeal will be
taken to the supreme court.
William LANCER, attorney for Nc
Grath, is of the opinion that this or
der reinstates Mr. Monahan who was
removed as chief game warden in the
first district and other ousted en-
ployes of the game and fish commits
sion.
Changes among the employees were
made following appointment by Gov
ernor Nestos of new members to the
game and fish commission.

NEWBURC BANK
YECCS ROUTED

Newburg, N. D. Sept. 18.-Four
robbers, attempting to force an en-
trance to the State Bank of Newburg
early yesterday, were routed by two
loads of buckshot fired by Fl. E..
Martin, postmaster, who resides next
door to the bank.
Fires at Outer Guard
Mr. Martin heard the yeggs when
they attempted to blow open the
vault door with nitroglycerine and
taking his shotgun, stepped to the
door of his home and fired twice at
the outer guard in front Of that insti-
tuition. 1t is believed that the man
was wounded.
Yeggs Speed Away
The yeggme1. rushed out of the
bank and loading into their automo-
bile, sped away down the street, fir
ing several shots at the spot where
they believed Mr. Martin was, and
also at a building where light was
burning. They started toward the
south but it is believed that the men
are members of the same gang which
has been terrorizing border towns in
Saskatchewan.

DIED MONDAY

On Monday, Sept. 18th, James
Jackson passed away at his farm
home, five miles east of Bottineau,
,, after suffering great deal for many
years, cause of death being compli-
cations due to old age. The death of
Mr.. jackson was not a great surprise
to the community as he has been re-
ported near the end several times
during the past year. .
Deceased was very we'll known in

was familiar figure on the streets
of the city for many years.
James Jackson was born in Glas-

ing to Bottineau in 1902 and have re-
! sided at their present home east of
| Bottineau since that time.

the Immediate cause of death being
pus on the brain and was at the time
of death 54 years of age.
Mrs. Trimble has not been well for
some time and was brought to the 10
cal hospital about ten days ago. 1t
appeared as though she was recover
ing from the effects of a throat in
fection, but she suddenly took worse
and passed away on the above date.
Mrs. Trimble came to this county
with her husband in the spring of
1902. Deceased was a woman of
strong character and has great
many friends who will regret her de-
parture.
To mourn her loss, the deceased
leaves her husband, R. M. Trimble,

DAIRY SHOW
7 County be repre-

WI. County be repre-
sented
The Nationa1 Dairy Show will be
held at st. Paul October z to ID. 1t
will probably be several years before
it is again staged in the west and
many years before it will be held at
a point so accessible to the people of
North Dakota. Remember this is not
only "show" but careful observation
of the judging and placing of the
competing animals is the best means
of becoming familiar with the latest
in dairy type approved by breeders in
the various breeds. A large number Of
high grade cows with good records
will be shown and sold at auction
after the show. There is a good
chance to pick up dairy cows of
known production. Each state is COM
ing down to the show with an educa-
tional exhibit. The North Dakota ex-
hibit is expected to show the evolu-
ton of the Dairy Cow in this state,
commencing with real live buffalo,
progressing to the range COW with
the tea-cup udder, which had, liter
ally speaking, to be MIXED with a
pipe wrench and pair of pliers, and
finally winding up with one of the
best cows from some breeding cir
cult.
Farmers and others who went down
last year are for the most part plan
ming Ola going down again this year.
No better criterion of the merits of
the show could be found than this
fact. The inspiration absorbed at this
exposition last year actually resulted
in more and better dairying in North
Dakota. Judging by reports from diff
ferent parts of the state.
Nelson county already has car
load of people signed up to go. In this
case the car can be parked at the
yards and used for sleeping accom-
modations.
Anyone interested in this exposi-
ton can write me for further partic-
ulars. Also anyone expecting to go
| kindly advise me of the fact that our
Bottineau county delegation can trav-
ell together. 1t may be years before
we have another chance.

PLATFORM ADOPTED
FOR CAMPAIGN

Bismarck, N. D. Sept. 6-The fol-
lowing platform was adopted by the
Republican state central committee
here today after naming candidates
for the fall election:
eve reaffirm our belief in the ira
ditions, and confidence in the Repub-
lican party, and believe that thru it
can best be fulfilled the hopes and
aspirations of the state and nation.
"We stand where we stood in the
past. We reaffirm our confidence in
the Industrial program. Believing
that the funds that belong to all the
people ought to be used to finance
the activities that belong to all the
people and thereby be the bulwark
for the financial integrity of our
state, we demand that the Bank of
North Dakota he restored to it's
former position and prestige.
"We favor reduction in the penal
ties or unpaid taxes, whereby such
penalties shall be consistent with the
usual rate of interest.
eve deplore the present crisis
caused by the shortage Of fuel, be-
cause of the selfishness of the monop-
o1istic control of the mines, and favor
further development of North Da-
kota Ignite resources, to the end
that the state in the near future may
supply it's own fuel.
There has been a steady reduction
of the wages Of railway employees
until a point below living wages has
been reached and yet there has been
no appreciable reduction in railroad
rates. Realizing that transportation
and distribution is the life of COM
merce, we pledge our Republican
candidates to use every endeavor to
secure just and reasonable reduction
of both freight and passenger rates
both inter and intrastate.
"We are proud of the record of the
Republican party in this state in be-
| ing the first state in the union to
point the way to compensate the ex-
service mer. for their splendid and pa
triotic services to the nation.
GAS the growing child becomes the
grown man or woman, we condemn
compulsory child labor, which tends
to stifle the fullest development of
intellect and body.
eve are proud of the women of the
state for the active, intelligent and
patriotic cooperation in the duties of
government.
"We favor the immediate fixing by
congress of a reasonable and just
price for wheat, so that the agrlcul'
tural interests of the state and the
nation may continue and be savec
from disaster.
eve favor the continuance and en-
forcement of the Workmen's compel
sation act and the other labor laws
enacted by the Republican party OF
the state.
GAS one largely instrumental In
our progress, with much satisfaction
we reaffirm our confidence in the
splendid leadership and integrity, ano
rejoice in the nomination of Lynn j
Frazier for United States senator anc
we urge all Republicans to unite ano
support the above principles ard the
true Republican candidates of this
state.

Lee, Gust Carlson, Fred J. Engel, J

Resolutions were also adopted ad
dressed to the speaker of the nationa
congress and president of the senate
urging the passage Immediately OF
fair and reasonable guaranty Of th'
price of wheat.

Bang, bang, barks the hunters
guns, which indicates the hunting
season is again open. Being il civ
ilized nation as we are it seems queer
that the farmers have to post notices
to protect his property from the care
less hunter. Many hunters think the
notices are posted to protect the game
birds, while they are posted to pro-
tect property. Many farmers have
come home on Sunday evening find
ing his stock in the corr and un-
stacked grain fields, on account Of
careless hunters throwing the pasture
gates open or cutting wires in order
that they may travel short cuts. 9th
ers have lost chickens and tame
geese in the hunting season, once in
a while we hear of city hunter who
has shot a white grouse or duck,
when it may have beer a farmers
white leghorn hen. Is it any wonder
that the farmers feel aggrieved and
take steps in posting notices to pro-
tect his premises from being tres
passed by careless hunters We are
willing to let the city brother Of hon
est sportsmanship come out on the
farm and enjoy hunting ard share the
wild game with us but we are not
going to stand and see him invading
our farms, throwing gates and cut
ting wires letting the stock into on,
fields damaging the crop which We
have toiled from early till late on
starvation wages to produce. Taks
away the destructive hunter and th'
notices will cease. J. :
