'.Hold Your Flax at $780,"

"Hold your flax for $1.50'' is to
be the slogan of the American So
ciety Of Equity in North Dakot1
South Dakota and Minnesota this
season, according to the announce
ment made after the conference of
officials of the societies of the
three states which was held in Far
go and which adjourned at late
hour Tuesday evening, after being
in session for two days. Among
the prominent officials in attend
ance were Theo. G.. Nelson, presi-
dent Of the grain growers depart
ment of the society Of Chicago, G.
U. Pierson Of Casselton. N. D.,
secretary Of the North Dakota
union; N. H. Aldrich, of Minnea-
polls, secretary of the Minnesota
union; w. [. Lowthian of Milbank,
S. D. secretary Of the South Dako-
ia union.
It was stated that practically all
of the flax raised in the United
States is raised in the three statee
named above with sixty per cent Of
the total amount raised in North
Dakota. Just as SOON as the drills
stop work this spring, meetings
will be called in every township in
the three states and pledges will
be taken from the farmers to hold
their flax for $1.5O and wheat for
81. 1t is claimed that the price Of
| wheat was raised last season to 81
and that the task of boosting the
price Of flax will be comparatively
easy. 1t is hoped to secure pledges
for 100000 bushels in this state
before harvest starts.
To a representative Of the press,
one of the members said:
"People representing organized
capital measure the combinations
to the progress and prosperity of
the country in dollars and cents
and when asked to part with their
possessions they demand in return
certain values.
"People representing organized
labor measure their products by
hours, days, weeks, etc., they de-
mand and get a fixed value in re-
turn for their hours, days, weeks Of
service which they are asked to
give, and the time has now come
when farmers who measure their
products in tons pounds and
bushels will and must be the same.
They can do it, only by combining
that which others want and must
have. We have learned the lesson
from the other fellow" Ward Co.

ll6 county convention nelQ on
Tuesday at Underwood sprung no
surprise. Since it was known that
Messrs. Macomber and Lamb
had reported and causulted
with Mckenzie and Little, after
the caucuses it was easy to see
that they would receive the same
advice that had been given other
counties in the state, that is, to
bolt the convention and elect a
boiling delegation to go to Minot.
Those at the head of this bolting
convention are the same men who
the Republicans of Mclean coun-
ty have been fighting for years,
they and their tactics are we'll
known, and the regular republi-
cans have fought these men on
every hand. Messrs. Macomber,
Lamb, McCulloch, Gibson, O'Hare
Billows and others who need no
introduction, have lead in the
trouble-making, so when the Nc
Kenzie-Little advice was carried
out, it caused no surprise.
The Underwood county conven-
tion is thing Of the past, and pre-
dictions to the effect that the Nc
Kenzieites would be there with in
structions from the Bismarck head
quarters to carry the day was fully
demonstrated. The antics had the
best of the argument and fifty-four
of the eighty-seven delegates par
ticipated in the anti-McKenzie
faction thirty-three strong met
and organized at the Wyman hotel
passed resolutions and elected
delegates to Minot. Earlier in the

FOR FINANCIERS
Afternoon Session Matter of For
 malIty

The afternoon session of the board of finance yesterday was a brief one and there was little business transact ed. After the weekly bills had been signed a letter from the police board was read announcing that starting July 1 the raise provided for by the board of finance in the estimates would go into effect. The police board asked last year that an increase be given to the men which would amount to $50 year for each man and instead the board of finance made 1t $25. So instead of paying out the increase for the entire year the police board decided to give 1t only for the second half of the year and has announced that 1t will commence on July l.
 The board also slgni1ed that t would pay the expenses contracted by the special committee on the disposal of garbage of the board of aldermen in trips to Staten Island and to Cam bridge for the purpose of looking into reduction plants. Alderman Miller was chairman of the board yesterday in the absence of the mayor who went to witness the boat races at New London.
