A BOOM FOR BURWICK,
The Vmb| Towe Is a Ceiir -Alleged hrterview
With Joe Devise.
Berwick, N. D., Dec. 20.—To The
Forum: The fact ought to become
more widely known that Berwick,
which only three years ago was an "ir
ridescent dream," is now the best town
of its size between Grand Forks and
Minot. "£his is a broad Statement, but
is susceptible of prodf. if one cates to,
hunt up and compare figures. It is sit
uated on the main line of the Great
Northern about midway between Rug
by and Minot, reminding one of a fra
grant wild rose between two thorns.
The town lies in the llfeart of one of
the best farming sections in the state,
and is the"principal grain market with
in a radius of fifty miles. During the
period of several weeks this falL an
average of no less than joo flcHa'ds' of
grain were marketed in Berwick, d&ily.
The town boasts five elevator^, ^four
general stores, two hardware' iteres,
two lumber yards, hotelp.„? estaurants,
bank, drug store, two hver^stables,
blacksmith shop, meat markerf millin
ery, several implement depots and oth
er enterprises too
numef«$i:to
men-
tion. v
1 he Berwick Post, an excellt n$Tweek
ly paper of eight pages—EViglish and
German—has been important factor
in '.he development, of the town and a
good slice of the western half of Pierce
and the eastern half of McHenry
County. The editor, R. F. Lepl a, is
well known to the printing gxtild of
Fargo, which at one time was.'.Wf? KJjme.
Too much can hardly be txtohe
excellence of the soil in this region,
and of the thrift and intelligence of the
farmer-settlers who have made this
country what it is. Quietly and stead
ily, and with the help of no glib-tong
ued land boomers to proclaim its mer
its, this section has made a most rfe
markable growth in the past ten years
and will force itself upon the atteh-"
tion of homeseekers in the neartature.
Present prices range from $10 to $?o
per acre.

"I see by the pa-a-per," as Dooley
used to say, that some of his friends
are talking of again "placing" Joe
Devine by making him president of the
Mayville Normal. This report should
be discounted at least 90 per cent. I
drove over to the Mouse River one
day last week to see if the suckers were
running, and whom should I run across
but Neighbor Devine, busy at work
getting out his summer's wood. He
was full panoplied in fur cap, macanaw
shirt, overalls, German socks and shqe
packs. He greeted me with a cheery
"Hello!" and the old sweet smile that
won't come off. While the oxen rested
a bit we sat do,wn On a log, filled ouj
corncobs and had a splendid visit. Be-,
tween puffs Joe told me that nothing,
he had the remotest hope of getting{
could induce him to abandon his pas
toral life and pursuits. "It is my pur-,
pose never to go into politics again,"
he said, "though of course if the peo-*
pie should want me they know wherg
to find me." Asked how he liked th&
transition from our gay capital to ^4
quiet life of a yeoman 911 the murmur
ing Mouse, he answered. "Fine and
dandy. There is a freedom about it
that appeals to me wonderfully. And
I don't have to wo*.ry about holding
my job, either. To tell the truth, I
don't half, relish this talk of being plac-.
ed in this or that position. Not that
I would think lightly of the honor, bul^
I'm- sick of being 'placed.' That's an
old story. No more of that. Me to"
the woods"--and knocking the ashes
from his pipe, Joe picked up his axe,
and began making the. ?hips fly.

LIKED THE INSTITUTION.
Kenmare News: The farmers' insti
tute has come and gone. The attendance
was all that could be desired, and many
people will reap great benefit from the
^deas obtained. How much good will
result no one can tell, but any meeting
such as this, where the agriculturist dis
cusses different methods of conducting
the farm, cannot fail to be of help to the
man who heeds good advice. It is
not so much the number of acres under
crop, but rather the net results that
makes the individual farmer either poor
or independent. The man who farms
within the limit of what he can do well
is far better off than the one who puts
in twice the acreagc in a hap-hazard
manner. The institute is a great edu
cator, and is bringing back to the state
in an indirect way many times its cost,
and it is to be hoped that Kenmare can
have an institute next year, and we can
if we only put our shouldet$ to the
wheel.

tion. If employers instead of employes
were, in the habit of giving recommenda

out that seventeen men on the paper to
day had been with them for forty years,
or rather that was the average time 'for
the seventeen. An. employer could not
