of 10 and 81 years. We have no vote
at the election on Nov. 9th, but we
are interested in 1t and are Watching
carefully the outcome on the county
agent question.
We know times are hard, because
we too are raising cattle and poultry;
growing corn and other crops. we,
girls in the Home Economics CLUBS
are making over clothes. cleaning
and caring for old clothes SO they
will last longer, and look better; fix
ing up our own rooms at little or no
money expense. and working hard to
make our community a good one IN
spite of hard times.
We also know the true figures
about the cost of the county extension
agent in Burleigh county and we are
not fooled by people who talk in terms
of a cost of $4,000, without being
specific as to whether that figure re-
fers to year or ten years.
We are part of 335 All club men,
beers in Burleigh county, $500 IN
North Dakota, and 100000 in the
United States, and We know All CLUB

youth movement In the world. What
man or woman with q serious interest
in agriculture and homemaking IN
Burleigh county would vote against
the county agent and deprive US OF
this work?

A FOREIGNERS VIEW
Bismarck, N. D.,
Nov. 3. 1882.
Editor, Tribune:
Prohibition violation has again been
brought to our attention through your
columns, this time III connection with
the foreigners and their good old
modest but persistent drinking habits
from the old country.
1t is with queer feeling that l..
as foreigner, join this crowd OF

for I come from country where the
