REPRESENTATIVE
IN THE CITY
E. E. SANFORD OF THE NORTH
ERN STATES POWER CO., HERE
TO INTEREST PEOPLE IN GOOD
BUSINESS PROPOSITION.

The Consumers Power Company,
managed by H. M. Byllesby & Com
pany, has so consistently stood for
improved service and courteous treat
ment of it's customers, that one is not
surprised to find this company offer
ing another branch of service which is
of considerable significance. This is
the extension of it's investment facili-
ties to local people through the offer
ing of the 7 per cent preferred stock
Of this company upon easy terms. The
offering of this stock gives the people
of Minot an opportunity for an in
creased proprietorship Of home in
dustry of large responsibility, with
full opportunity for complete investi-
cation and upon a very favorable, not
! to say liberal, basis. Further than
this, the Inauguration of this policy
means the fullest publicity regarding
the affairs of the company and shows
disposition on the part of the COM
pany to shade it's profits with the COM
munity which cannot be too highly
commended. "
The stock offered under the above
plan is not a new issue and the sale Of
this stock is not for the purpose of
raising money for construction or
other purposes, but is rather for the
purpose of further cementing the bond
Of good will existing between itself
and the community served. The sale
of stock looks toward a greater meas
ure of cooperation between the COM
pany and the community and is a
sound profit sharing device.
There is further significance in
this offering which should not be
overlooked. For many years there has
been an unmerited distrust of all cor
porations, regardless Of the tremen-
dous service which they have undoubt-
eddy rendered .and dependent, as the
prosperity Of our country is upon
them, due to the fact that they seem
ed designed for the good Of the few
rather than the many. With the open
ing up of the sound, reliable corpora
tions, such as the Northern States

TELLING OF THE ORGANIZA-
TON - SAYS THERE ARE 49,
600 MEMBERS.

While the writer has been in pos
session of all details and workings OF
the "Nonpartisan League" since April,
and while it is true that political mat
ters are not. or at least should not, be
considered as secret matter, yet |
have refused to discuss the matter IN
the press for the following reasons:
1. The organizers considered it best
not to discuss the matter until the or
ganization, and 2, am very favorable
to the organization of the farmers and
would not do thing to throw CAM
per on such an organization. But now
since the official paper has made its
apnearance, and the fact that l have
not discussed the features OF their
program, which NO Democrat or Re-
publican can endorse, my fairness to
the organization ought, to be apparent
to any fair minded person.
The organizers carried paper
around with them, and which to the
public might appear to be the invlt-
ing feature which induced the farmers
to .ioin the organization, but this is
hut part of the secret of the organlza-
ton. True, this was the strong point
to a certain class, but the explanation
by the organizer and the method OF
organization must be considered IN or
der to have clear conception OF the
organizing. The maintaining and ex-
ecution of the objects of the organlza-
ton is a future consideration.

the organization Of a home club,
which will get extremely busy There
is plenty OF material for a fast team
from stanfield and Echo and, mas
much as Hermiston, too, has been
swaiting developments in Stanfield,
there will be no handicap in the game

NEW YORK, Aprn S.-After an

An edge" of forty-eight hours or

BELIEVE AUSTRIANS MAY
ATTACK SALONIKI SOON

Saloniki, Dec. 20. (vfa Paris. -
The highest Greek military authori-
ties declare it to be their belief that
an Austrian attack on Saloniki is in
evitable. The Greek general staff
will quit Salonih tomorrow. The
last remaining Greek troops save one
infantry regiment have been trans
ferred to Kozani. The entente allies
have ordered the evacuation of sew
eral villages around Salonih by the
civilians for military reasons.
The parliamentary elections today
passed quietly. A mere handful OF
voters were out, making the extraor-
binary precautions against demon
strations appear needless. The polls
were established mostly in church
and soldiers with fixed bayonets were
on guard. The newspaper supporting
M. venizelos, the former premier,
whose adherents from taking part in
the elections, comment bitterly on the
empty triumph Of the government.
