hit by submarine or something, while
his sister intensified the situation by
wondering aloud if they would ever see
him again.
Both of these auguries, so unsuited
to Christmas Eve, were interrupted,
however, by the arrival of the parcel
postman and the deposit of an i'm
mense and promising package, bear
ing in large letters a direction to Mrs.
P. Peters. With no clue as to the
sender the family naturally concluded
the various and valuable assortment
that was revealed to investigation to
be an evidence Of fatherly consider
alton and the advance agent Of the
returning traveller. Joy came out with
Ill the other things, and cheerltook the
place of chagrin.
Farther up the street and behind a
door bearing the name of Paul Peters
there was another household that was
not as sunny as it should have been.
A letter had come-but bundle had
failed to come. The letter a program
of delight, the bundle a disappoint-
ment. Uncle Joshua had known their
wants by a marvellous instinct, but
where was the bundle? Alas the 9th
er things were as nothing for the lack
of it and Christmas morning dawned
upon discomfort.
But before the morning had quite
disappeared Fred came rushing in with
the news that he had seen that Peters
boy in the next block with sled
bearing the same name as the one men
toned by Uncle Joshua. II didn't
know there was Peters boy in the
next block" said his mother; "Ill go
down and see if they can tell us any
thing about our bundle"
They could, and the mystery was
very easily solved by the explanation
of the postman at the wrong door,
making very pardonable mistake.
An explanation that led indeed to a
redistribution of gifts and also to a
discovery of relationships, for the Pc
terS' families found each other out, as
less than block apart In family ties
and friend.tEess. A discovery that
was the very best Christmas gift that
they could have had and which led
them to think that the wrong door was
all right after all. b
1t proved way out for the P. PEI
terses and a way In for the Paul Pc.
terses until Pa Peters Of the FIRST
part put In an appearance through It
In time for New Years with such an
account Of himself and his adventures
as proved highly satisfactory to all the
combined hopes and plans Of all the
Peterses.

MAKES MONEY
WITH EMM0NS
COUNTY FARM
Will Craig, Formerly Renter
in Minnesota, Now Proud
Land Owner i'm North
Dakota


Will Craig Of Kintyre, who form
erly rented farm in Minnesota, is
satisfied in North Dakota as q land
owner.
In letter to the Bankers Develop
ment Company of Bismarck, relative
to the sale to him of one-half Sec
ton of Emmons county laid for $22
an acre in 1916, Mr.. Craig writes:
Mr.. Fred E. Davis, Gen. Mgr,
Bankers Development Company,
Bismarck, N. d.
Dear Mr.. Davis:
Replying to your letter of recent
date in which you ask me for an ex-
preston of satisfaction or dissatis-
faction in the matter Of the farm
that purchased through you in the
fall of 1916, wish to advise as fol-
lows:
Before coming to North Dakota
was engaged in farming as renter
in Rock county, Minnesota. I am sat
isfied that had l stayed in Minnesota
and continued to farm that by this
time would not only have lost all
had, but in addition would be heavily
in debt base my statement on gen
eral conditions that have existed in
Minnesota during that period of time
from 1916 to 1928, is so far as rent
ers are concerned.
In addition to making the pay
ments on my land as they came due,
l have more than held my own each
and every year since coming to
North Dakota.
am satisfied that corn is going
to be the leading crop. Out Of the
seven years that I have been in
North Dakota I have raised corn six
years and without failure, and
want to say that each year have
improved the yield and quality.
practice rotation of crops which is
highly beneficial to my land.
Under no consideration would re-
turn to Minnesota as renter. North
Dakota is all right, and it is the very
best place that 1 know of for a man
of moderate means to purchase Il
farm home. Here in North Dakota
you can raise practically everything
that you can in Minnesota, and with
greater profit on your investment.
In conclusion, Mr.. Davis, you may
refer any prospective settler 70 me,
and l will give them all the inkorma-
ton that they may ask for.
Yours very truly, s+
WILL CRAIG,
