New Britain formed a part of Berlin until the middle of the last century and did not appear in the census records until the cnumera- 1ion in 1850, when it had d mere 3,029 residents. In 1860 this total had advanced to 5,2l2 and in 1870 tc o,4S0. The population crossed into five figures in 1880, when a to- tai of 13,979 inhabitants was dis closed, and in 1890 this moved up to 19,007. Then the city began to grow in earnest and the 1900 cen- sus showed a population Of 2S.202, while that of 1910 revealed 43.916 and the 1920 enumeration 59316. Unofficial estimates place New Brit aims population today at approxi- mately SQ,000.

HAMhON CONSOLIDATED
 WINS POWELL CASES

In the two cases of Hammon Con solidated Gold Fields, Appellant, against E. E. Powell, and the trustees of the Nome Dredging Trust, tried here last summer, the decisions of the local district court Were reversed by the Appellate Court at San Francisco recently. In the case tried a year ago, the appellant contended that the az reement between the parties was an option and that it imposed no obligation on themselves to pay tn. purchase price until the option was exercised. On the other hand the Powell interests contended that the agreement was lease and that the Hammon Company were obli- gated to pay the several annual minimum payments during the life of the lease. The latter view was taken by the trial court and sus- tained on appeal
 We will not be able to ascer- tain the grounds upon which the appellate court based its opinion until the mail from San Francisco arrives.

Land Grant to the Jobless?

dunn county JOurnaD
Here's an idea. Take it, or leave it. However, It
would be one solution to the present problem Of high
sands of acres of lands that have gone back to the county
Of Dunn and state of North Dakota.
In the county and in the state there are many thou
sands Of acres Of lands that have come back to the county
for taxes. A great deal Of this land is therefore re-
moved from the tax paying column.
The idea would be to again make 1t productive in taxes
by making q kind Of grant to the jobless, who would be
glad for the opportunity to dig a home for themselves. !"
clothe our county owned lands with farm homes, make
productive what are now mere parts and parcels of I'M
owned lands"
The idea is radical. We admit that. The county dads
land probably many farmers who are paying taxes
might, and probably would, strenuously object to such
procedure; the county officials holding that these lands
are "for sale" and that the county must at least get
its taxes as a down payment.
We respectfully suggest that the idea be carefully con-
sidered. We also suggest that the terms be something
on this order; one dollar an acre per year, payable each
year on November LIST. for a period Of five years, when
= deed would be issued; taxes to be paid at the time
Of payment on the contract for the current year.
Sounds funny, we admit, but these lands must be put
to work, and our jobless must also be put to work at
gainful, productive occupations.

A SIGN of the Times

In some ways this is a funny world. AL Capone, who
has horns and cloven hoofs as far as most of us are
concerned, now steps forward as a great humanitarian,
providing free meals for some thousands of jobess Chi
cagoans daily. The spectacle is both confusing and
diverting.
Just what may lie back Of this sudden transformation
Is obscure. 1t is perfectly possible, of course, that even
a millionaire gangSter can be bothered by the thought
that his city contains a great many men who cannot get
anything to eat; and probably a hungry man is just as
glad to get soup and coffee from AL Capone as from
anyone else. Nevertheless, human nature is prone to
dark suspicious. and ones most lasting reaction to the
whole business Is to wonder just what devious and sub
terranean scheme Capone can possibly be up to now.
However, let the background of this affair be what it
may, the fact r~emains-and we have been singularly slow
in realizing it-that AL Capone is, quite unintentionally,
a rather valuable feature of the American landscape.
He is valuable, not as a racketeer or as a business man,
or as a feeder Of the hungry, but as an indicator-a
signpost, so to speak, or a weather gauge.
For this man, by his existence, serves to call our at
tention very forcibly to the things that are wrong with
our form Of human society. His latest stunt merely adds
emphasis to this function.
AL Capone is a rich and powerful ~gangster. His
dongs are q matter Of common knowledge from one
end of America to the other. And the mans career is,
in itself, q warning and a sermon. 1t ought to jar us
into realization Of the fact that our whole big city sys-
TEN is a ~grotesque and tragic failure. The bare fact
that such a man, with such a record, can exist and can
go about his business unmolested is the most terrific
indictment that anyone has yet brought against met
ropolitan life in America. .
It is the same way with this new venture of his.
Here we have a huge city, ~typifying the best and the
worst aspects of America; a city that is market town
and crossroads, distributor and manufacturer, center
Of industry and home for some 100000 people. This
city, along with the rest of the country, falls on hard
times. Somewhere something goes amiss, SO that a per-
centage of the 100000 cannot get work and hence can
not buy food.
And then what happens? 1t falls to the lot of the
arch villain of the age-the man who is branded as a
public enemy by every newspaper in the city, and who
Is blamed for, literally, hundreds of murders-it falls to
the lot Of that man to provide meals for these hungry
men!
Sooner or later, without at. all intending to, this man
Capone will wake us up. This soup kitchen of his
pretty nearly ought to do 1t.

A Chance to Help
(Killdeer Herald)

1 While the government is taking every step possible in
cities and to shelter them from the cold by turning over
armories and equipment of the war department for
their care, why not have a thought for the farmers of
this territory who made seed loans last spring?
The seed loan arrangement was only a short time
credit measure. But the failure of the crops. the worth
less value of wheat, and the present conditions in the
farming regions all are eloquent arg1ecnts for an ex-
tension of time on these seed loans.
When the value of the entire crop of hundreds of farm
es Of this section would not cover the seed loan, the
government would be in poor business to compel the
payment Of such loan now. None are large Icons. The
entire amount of loans in the whole county would not
probably exceed $4,000. But each individual loan means
considerable in food and clothing to everyone.
The Herald has taken the matter up with Congressman
Sinclair to see what can be done in relieving us of this
extra burden at this time.
We can use a little help out here, too.

us this Indian summer"
Numerous newspapers of the Slope country have been
asking this question during the past few weeks.
No. This Is not indian summer. This Is the lovely
fall weather that usually comes to the Slope country
IN North Dakota and on many years extends up to and
beyond Christmas.
OF course there are years when freak snowstorms come
early, or when storms slip over the border from Canada,
or the winds blow coldly from the snow-capped Rockies.
but It Is not unusual weather. when day succeeds day
with exceedingly fine weather during October, Novem-
Der and December in western North Dakota.
FroSts come. bleaching the brown of the prairies; chill
winds may blow on certain days. but where under the
sun can one find such delightfully."- bracing weather,
such pure. clear, intoxicating ozone as in this section
OF North Dakota during delightful fall days.
And what q sun We are under. Few spots on earth
have more hours Of radiant sunshine than the Slope.
With an altitude of from 1890 to 5000 feet above sea
level the air is ideal for breathing purposes, and who
does not wish to continue breathing? In stuffy chimes
all living things will fight for breath even though little
JOY Is found in living. Here, breathing Is not done with
q sense OF necessity or duty, but as a rare, exhilarating,
intoxicating pleasure.
Watch . man or woman who has lived IN western
North Dakota long enough to form the habit and you
can pick them from q crowd ~anywhere. AS they step
from q warm building into the open you will note their
heads are thrown up, their shoulders back, and they
breathe deeply. They are either drinking in Dakota air
In great drafts or they are longing for the tingle Of that
old ozone in their nostrils II they are away from 1t.
There IS sheer Joy in living in western North Dakota
In the fall. And this isn't Indian summer we have been
having for weeks. Unusual as it may seem it is just
usual fall weather in Dakota. 1t Is Just automatically
autumn because it's that season Of the year.

Today Is the
Anniversary Of
COMPACT

On Nov. q, 1920, the Pilgrims held
q meeting in the cabin Of the May
flower, the ship which brought them
from England to America, and drew
up q compact In which they announced
their intention Of making such laws
as should be needed for the general
good Of the colony.
The compact, which was called the
"law and order league" was signed by
Al Pilgrims. They then chose John
Carver governor. When Carver died
william Bradford was chosen; he
filled the office for 81 years.
What induced the Pilgrims to draw
up q compact was the fear Of dissen-
sion among those Pilgrims who pre-
ferred to settle in Virginia, and those
who favored New England.
The Mayflower had gone far out OF
her way, and the Pilgrims then de-
cided, though they had . patent made
out for settlement in Virginia, to set
tie in Massachusetts,.
After carefully exploring the New
England coast, the Pilgrims found q
satisfactory harbor and landed at
Plymouth, Mass, on Dec. u. 1920.
