Tennis on ''pogo sticks according
TO an illustrated article in Popular Me-
chanics Magazine, is rapidly becoming a
fad on the Pacific Coast. 1t was first
suggested by Los Angeles sportsman.
The '.pogo stick - is slender upright
pole, with steps on opposite sides for
the feet and handle at the top. The
the stick, one starts to hop, and the
spring accelerates the bouncing so that
each hop takes on two or three feet in
to the air. 1t requires considerable
skill to handle the stick and. when the
maneuvers of tennis are attempted, falls
are almost unavoidable. Needless to
say, the game furnishes plenty of amuse-
ment for those that are watching il.

Increase Nearly $4,000 as

DUE TO DAMAGE

Bills Aggregating Over $4,000 Presented
to Connecticut River Power Co. -
Adjustment Expected Without Re-
course to Legal Steps

In the forthcoming ANIMAL report of
the Brattleboro town officers it is shown
that the towns liabilities on Feb l of this
year had increased ST., ,Sj1. - over the
corresponding date last year The labili-
ties are $234 60393. less bills receivable
of S5.620.0G
This large increase in the towns obli-
cations is due to the high water of the
spring of 1920. which carried out the
Connecticut river bridge and damaged the
highways along the river. The outstand-
ing temporary loans aggregate $103, 100.
and the selectmen say they have presented
bills to the Connecticut River Power Co.
for sos, ,4J6.SS, their claim being that the
Power Co. is liable for the damage. by
reason of the Vernon dam.
just how much of the bill to the Power
Co. win be paid of course cannot be told

be adjusted late last week. but on account

Another BerthOld Farmer Writes
About TOwnley, Laid and DOckage

To the Ward County independents
You will call to mind certain ar
ticle on Apr. 6 signed by "Berthold
Correspondents" Why all this stink
about state grading? We have over
looked their one sided arguments for
the past three years but enough is
plenty. Now this Berthold farmer,
orator or national critic, as he is some-
times called, seems to have gotten it
into his head he can say anything
about his neighbor and get by. But
this is not the case as you will see by
these few lines.
Now we don't go out to argue that
the state grading or paying for dock
age. The point we wish to bring out
is this. The Independent readers are
getting disguised, with so long argu-
ments with so little reason. AS it
now appears to the Berthold readers
those articles are sent in from Berth
old to stir up strife, to slap someone
who does not think as the correspond
ent does. First he says, GAS I have
no desire to cause any i'll feeling. He
next remarks that he was raised a
rank republican but since joining the
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1922-05-04

N. P. L. is more radical than any
Socialist. Then he says, like all radi-
Gals he delights in insulting those who
differ from him. Then he refers to
his neighbor whom he calls Mr.. Yank
and says he is the most ideal man in
the neighborhood from league stand
point to pass on league laws. Now
who are you after, Mr.. Correspond
ent, the state grading or your neigh
Dor? Certainly your article sounds
like cold beef stew when warmed
up.
From now on as far as your using
facts and figures from four elevator
men at Berthold, you try and make
it appear that every elevator man
here is fighting the farmer, which l
am in position to say right here is not
the case. We have done business with
all four elevators for the last six
years. There is not one man here
who will verify your statement clear
thru. Why not tell about the dock
age sold at SIS per ton? Yellow
mustard, one man l can show you re-
ceived a check for over $85. Mine
was SIG. Can find fifty or seventy
five others. Now this is all rotten
and you know it. Why leave out all
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1922-05-04

the good points in your weak argu-
ment on dOckOge and include the
weak points which we frankly admit
were many. Now when you send in
statement from the Victoria eleva-
tor, or rather Mr.. Olson, as you would
make it appear you did wrong, as Mr..
Mr.. Olson or Bob Olson as he is called
has grown up in the elevator business
at Berthold. We have sold to him
for at least eight years. He enjoys
a good business and never INDUCES
in those side walk arguments which
do more harm than good and never
get you anywhere. Now, Olson is no
fool. He gets along with the farmers
and must be making good with the
Victoria or he would not be here.
And I don't believe he ever made this
statement and not for publication
either. You prepare prices on dock
age and oats, feed value. Oats at
10 cents, why not use the market value
at Berthold which is never less than
40 cents? Why so much lodging
the facts? This so-called test at
BerthoId is all bunk, and you have
gotten our neighbor Olson into it too.
And we expect to see statement
showing that your statement was
misleading.
Our advice to you is just this. The
dockage law is off. Why worry? Our
elevators here are alright, too. Don't
try to start something all the time.
Bury your hammer and buy horn
Read the articles in this paper on
Get-To- Gether, harmony and cooper
alton between the business men and
the farmers. Read these articles
every week, written by the Minot
business men.
That's the pep you need, not so
much back fire. You are poor
booster for Berthold to say the least.
Better cut it out. There is trouble
enough in the world without stirring
up more.
Good bye,
Your Neighbor.

Heights the very heart OF New York s
transportation system but 1t has also

The overcrowding OF New York's

tive persons. To them the easy acces-
sibility of Brooklyn Heights affords a

Historic site for First Venture.
IL was peculiarly fitting that Mrs.
Leerning. after remodeling her Henry
Street home, should choose as the site
OF her first actual apartment building
venture a plot of historic and literary
interest. At Clark and Willow streets
about block and half from the new
Clark street express station OF the
Broadway and Seventh avenue subway.
there stood once a white frame struc-
ture which older inha bitants will re-
member as the ancient spite house Of
The Heights. II came into being as the
result OF a quarrel between the owner
OF the plot and the late Henry G.
Bowen, whose old Colonial mansion oc-
cupied the opposite corner. Tho spite
house, remodeled, became the home OF
Paul Leicester Ford. In 1904 Il was de-
molished and replaced by two frame
dwellings. which have given place to n
new apartment building.
Mrs Lecming has very clear cut ideas
on apartment building In general and
IN the Brooklyn Heights section in par
ticular. She believes above all in the
dignity Of simplicity. The vulgarly
ornate style. she holds. would be more
than ever out of keeping with the atmos-
phere OF mellow old neighborhood.
II simply would not fit. She believes
also that any one who has an oppor-
tunity to live on the Heights will want
to settle there and consequently Will
want to buy rather than to rent. Hence
her first large apartment venture was
planned on the basis of cooperative
ownership.
When Mrs. Leeming first discussed tho
project with her architect. ID. d. Merrill,
the first point that she laid down un-
equivocally was that II she was to offer
the public an apartment building II must

ness about this brand new structure.

the spirit OF the old section that II
seems to have been there always
Mrs. Leemlng has estimated her mar
ket so accurately that rs per cent OF
the apartments have been sold with the
interior still uncompleted Her plans
for the future embrace series of such
houses on the Heights to be erected as
fast as suitable plots can be obtained.
But Mrs. Leeming is not the only
exponent of Brooklyn Heights as a scene

be built along the most approved lines Of
construction as a permanent residence
project rather than as a speculative one.
The interior layout was devised not to
get a maximum number of rooms out OF
a floor but TO give the best living ac-
commodations. There is an abundance
of closet space and every living room
boasts a fireplace that is meant for a
warm, comforting fire and not for show.
Mrs. Leeming has a sentiment about
fireplaces and believes that they help
preserve the old time hearth and home
ideals.

and dignified and bring out to fullest
