PAGE 3 UNOFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE TRURLETGH COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Being a. Running Story of Ye Sweating of Ye Honorable Board " in Good-Doing in Behalf of Music by Little Breeches Yesterday the boss said, “Run up to the county commissioners meeting this afternoon at the court house and get the story.” Yeh, just like that. Can you imagine what the ther- mometer registered when a Tribune reporter and the county commission- ers gathered in the same room. Some frigid, icicles hanging all around, frost covering everything, yea bo. But order’s orders, and this is how you are able to enjoy the latest meet- ing of the county commissioners, with all of the frigid details. First of all there was a preliminary meeting at which County Agricultural Agent George W. Gustafson started to read his monthly report. In the mid- dle of the report, the county agent and the commissioners were shocked by a hoarse, “I have to go to the hotel for a minute” from the bell mare of the commissioners. And he did. Right in the middle of the county agent’s report. : And They All Waited So the county agent and the other two commissioners waited around the court house for Little Breeches’ re- turn. After settling a few affairs of state, the L’ B. ambled into the court house and the adjourned meeting of the county commissioners of Burleigh county resumed its deliberations with Mr. Gustafson at the report again. | Before dismissing the report, it might be said that it was a good one. The last part of it was something like this. Mr. Gustafson: “I would like to have the commissioners’ permission to communicate with the clerks of the townships in the county to continue the use of poisoned bran in the stubble fields so that the grasshoppers will not bother us next spring.” | Silence from the commissioners. Mr. Gustafson then repeated the re- quest and stated his reasons for it. Pretty soon one of the commission- ers said, “I think it might be a good plan.” Reg'lar Henry Ford Little Breeches: ‘What would be a good plan?” : i Again Mr. Gustafson explained his request. More silence. Finally one commissioner ventured it would be a good idea to put it in the form of a motion. Little Breeches: sary.” Commissioner No. 1: ” “It ain’t neces- “No, guess Little Breeches: “Perhaps it is just as well.” Commissioner No.1: “Yep, I guess so. Commissioner No. 2: “If the gen- tleman on my left will make a motion, I'll second it.” ‘ Commissioner No. 1: “All right.” Commissioner No. 2: “I second it.” L. B.: “All right, it’s passed.” Silence as Mr. Gustafson withdraws. Turning his eyes, face and body on the cowering reporter hiding behind a revolving bookcase, L. B. said: “Did you want to say anything to the com- missioners ?” Reporter Gets His The reporter, with a thousand things racing through his head of what he would like to say, merely had the courage to blurt out: “No sir, I am only representing The Tribune.” Silence, more silence, silence of the BILIOUSNESS Caused by ~ Acid-Stomach If people who are billous are treated accord- ing to local symptoms they seldom get very much better. Whatever relief is obtained is Usually temporary. Trace biliousness to its source and remove the cause and the chances are that the patient will remuin strong and healthy.

ERTONIC | commissioners. Ye Public, With Incidental utmost super frigidity fell on the com- missioners’ deliberation. The reporter felt like putting on his heavy rain- coat to keep out the cold, but didn’t dare leave his barricade, 4:27 P. M.—Bunch of bills handed to Commissioner No, 1 for approval. 4:28—Commissioner No, 1: “Teams are scarce, ain’t they?” Little Breeches: “Yep, told ’em to. call up the Tribune for teams. They could get ’em. We can’t.” iy 4:29—L. B, starts his whistle whist- ling. 4:30—Diseussion between the com- missioners about crop conditions on their respective farms. Business of going over the bills and signing them continues, 4:31—L, B.: “No more rye for me, T’ll never put it in the ground again.” 4:33—More crop discussion in sub- dued tones, Bills still passing through the mill. 4:34—Whistling by Little Breeches. 4:35—Commissioner No. 1: “Have they appointed the official paper for the county yet?” Lets Tom Do It L. B.:_ “No, probably Monday.” Commissioner No. 1: “Who does Little Breeches: “Tom Hall.” Commissioner No. 1; “Tom Hall!” (considerable surprise). The reporter is wondering who Tom can be to stir so much animation at the commissioners’ meeting. Must be some guy. 4:36—Whistling by L. B. resumed. Still at work on the warrants. _ 4:37—Reporter notices that his legs are getting very tired. Being natur- ally polite he had been waiting for an invitation from the commissioners to be seated as there were two chairs, ons being between Little Breeches and Commissioner No. 2 and the other to the left of Commissioner No. 2 and nearer the door. The reporter felt sure he preferred the one nearer the door. 4:38—The Boss whistling again. ‘t make out the tune. 4:39—More whistling by L. B. De- cided that the whistling wasn’t so tuneful by this time. Just a noise. Chance to Spend Money 4:40—Little Breeches: “Hear the slough near Menoken was washed in. Guess we had better drain it. It will only cost $145,000. When the water is gone there will be a good road there.” Commissioner No. 1: “Wouldn’t cost that much would it?” L. B.: “Maybe more.” Too bad Ltitle Breeches winked just then, for the reporter is very innocent and surely would have fallen for that $145,000 story and spread it all over the front page of The Tribune. It was a good joke, but haven’t been able to decide who it was on. 4:41—Reporter’s legs getting very weak, Would even take a chance on the first mentioned chair. 4:42—Mumbling of words between Sounded something like a trip Little Breeches must have made to a place where berries abound. Lucky it wasn’t a place where squir- rels liye. 4:45—Still approving bills and sign- ing papers. 4:46—Commissioner No. 2: . “Is that alright?” L. B.: “I suppose so.” Commissioner No. 2: “It ought to be included on regular salary.” The Business of Experting L. B.: “This expert business I don’t know anything about.” Commissioner No. 1: “Expert what?” L. B.: Reply unintelligible, but sounded like some doctor put in for fees where he attended a court trial and served as an expert of some kind. Commissioner No.1: “All the work T do is expert work.” Soft chuckles. Must have been humor to that one, 4:49—Whistle bobbed up again. The Boss has it well trained, alright. If his thoughts are anything like that whistle just then, good bye, reporter. Back to the army and peace for yours. 4:50—Little Breeches ran quite a cute obligato. into his whistle just then. Trilled something like a crow, or a Ford engine. 4:52—Whistling getting stronger and reporter getting weaker. Oh, for a chair. 5:00—Feel safer. Just saw Chief of Police Martineson come into the court house. 5:01—Commissioner No. 1 takes an ungodly long time looking those bills over, but No. 2 is fairly speedy. Little Breeches gives ’em a squint and then affixes his John Hancock. 5:09—Two bills got by Commission- ers No. 1 and 2, but the Boss side- The Round Oak Pipe- less Furnace increases the value of any ptop- erty more than the amount invested in its purchase Investigate!

It all shows in the picture but the makin’s.” 5:12—Commissioner No. 1 finishes bills and smokes pipe. 5:18—Commissioner No. 2 finishes bills and smokes cigar. 5:14—That whistle isn’t half as pretty as when first tried out. Maybe it’s getting rusty. And then standing for an hour doesn’t help. one’s hearing any. 5:18—Little Breeches signs last bill. 5:19—Notice that Commissioner No. 1 had placed The Tribune on the table. Commissioner No. 2 reaches over and reads it. Some circulation to this paper, eh what? Very Good, Eddie 5:20—Little Breeches runs across a printing bill of The Tribune. He tells nobody in particular to refer it to the gstate’s attorney for investigation, or consideration, or something. Good night, bill. Hope that don’t mean good night, my salary. 5:21—Little Breeches: “Well do you want to quit?” Commissioner No. 2: can quit for the day.” 5:22—All quit, just like that. Hope at the next meeting that the reporter gets a seat, and that The Tribune’s bill is approved. f LL BASEBA o——___________._____¢4 NATIONAL LEAGUE. “Guess we + | W. L. Pet.

C., July 30—To re- turn to their homeland after threc years of near imprisonment in Ger- many only to find themselves penni- less was the unfortunate plight which greeted Mr. and Mrs. Charles Krauth aid their son, John, of Hebron, N> D., when they arrived in New York Monday. Early in 1915 Mr. and Mrs, Krauth decided to go to Germany to be with their children, a son and daughter, who had gone to that country to com- plete their education a year or so earlier. Little difficulty was experienced in receiving passports at that time and the Krauths arrived at their destina- tion in due time. children and were in Berlin when the United States entered the war. Immediately an effort was made through the American embassy in Switzerland for passage into that country and thence through Italy to {the United States.’ This, however, was found to be out of the question, and Mr. Krauth then communicated with the state department in this country through the Swiss office and received permission to remain in Ger- imany for the duration of the war. i Life in war-time Germany was nat- urally precarious, especially for Amer- icans, although the Krauths experi- enced but little discomfiture on this account. Communication with Amer- ica, however, became impossible and until the signing of the armistice in November. practically no word of any sort was received from the United States. Held Three Years Thus although they had prepared months the Krauth family were Hforced to remain for three years. Money could not be received from home and while credit could be ob- tained through friends, money was very scarce for anyone. Expenses were high and food of any sort hard to get. Meat could be had but once a week and then it was usually horse meat. Butter sold at from $8 to $10 a pound and could be obtained only in small quantities. A pint of skim milk could be purchased once a week but at a tremendous price. Even with the signing of the armis- tice their troubles were not over. It was some time before leave could be obtained through the agency of the Red Cross by which they could leave Germany. Journeying through Swit- zerland they were again delayed and forced to remain until proper papers could ‘be obtained. It was here that the daughter met a young Swiss army officer whom she had met upon a pre- vious trip, and the couple were mar- ried shortly before the rést of the family finally left for home via Italy. In Italy, too, they were harassed by “red tape, and even on the water their return trip was slow and tedious. Then when they arrived in Hoboken on Monday letters from Hebron “} friends informed them that their en- tire property had been seized by the alien-enemy custodian in accordance with orders to the effect that all prop- erty of Americans in Germany should be confiscated. Instead of continuing on their way to Dakota the Krauths then decided to go to Washington where they put the matter before Senator McCumber. The senator immediately took up the matter with the proper authorities and the necessary steps will be taken at once, to return the confiscated ‘prop- erty to its rightful owners, e Following the favorable considera- tion of their claims the Krauths Sat- urday left Washington for their home in Hebron, : Charles Krauth is well known in the western part of the state where he has lived for many. years. Mr, Krauth is interested in the Missouri Valley Grocery company of Mandan, the Hebron State bank and other prop- erties in that vicinity. ‘Tribune Want Ads bring results.
