To great extent this material is now wasted On the Atlantic coast an in dustry of considerable proportion has developed in the production of fish scrap for fertilizer purposes.

The :rience which manag-
ers of the line elevators get
does not in any way fit them
for managers of Farmers Ele-
vators; hence, it is expeA ted
that a great many men who
have in the past been managers
of line elevators will take ad-
vantage of this course and fit
themselves to become manag-
ers of Farmers Cooperative
Elevators.
Not only will grading of
grain and different methods of
selling be taught, but the man.
ayers will be schooled in CO.
operative marketing and thus
be in position to work to the
farmers interest when they
accept a position as manager
of a Farmers Cooperative
Elevator.
The first session will be held
during the last three weeks of
March. And it is hoped that
many young men will avail
themselves of the advantages
of this school.

which should be enough. As
to the balance of the editorial,
the editor was not man enough
to come right out and tell us
anything. but just insinuated
that something was said about
somebody's religion and that
certain class of citizens were
more or less ignorant and
ought to be deported or CON-
PEELED to 90 TO school. l know
Mr.. Bowen to be very intelli-
gent gentleman and | have no
doubt at all that those last
quoted remarks of his were
directed against that certain
class of citizens who print
stand-pat republican news
papers.
We want, and have wanted
for a long time, certain legisla-
ton that would stop the pill
age and robbery of the farmers
and we have foolishly allowed
ourselves to be divided into
two parties with about as rot
ten a political clique pulling
the strings as God or man
ever saw; but now we have
united and have the votes and
are going to show the Hannas
and McKenzies and their ilk
that their downfall has come
and that we propose to take
what we want without leave or
hindrance from them.
IF government owned termi-
nal elevators is socialism, Lord
give us socialism.
If state hail insurance is
socialistic, give us the socialis-
tic state.
If we cannot have both of
these and also state owned cold
storage plants, pork packing
plants and single tax without
being branded socialistic, why
bless you, brand away.

ist lecturers and organizers to

that too.
If you have a crushing load
on your back you are not going
to inquire about a mans poll
tics or religion before you let
him take it off. We are going
to get these things even if we
have to fight for them, with or
without uniform or even with
out gloves, and if, after the
smoke of battle has cleared
away, the landscape is more or
less cluttered up with stand
pat republican editors, don't
blame us; it wasn't us who
started the trouble.

In regard to the payment of
the debt legacy the present
management fell heir to, that
is another lie. If the fool
editor will take little time
and look up the financial stand
ing of the association today he
will find the debt in about the
same ratio as it was when the
present management took
charge.

SUPT. WATKINS
OUTLINES PLAN
Program Of Enforcement League ior
1916 Announced By Official Head
In Tuesday Night Meeting.

Prosecution of news agents
and others within the state SELL
ing newspapers and periodicals
containing liquor advertising.
The arrest outside of the state
of persons sending liquor adver-
tising through the mails into
North Dakota.
Stopping railroads from car
rying illegal liquor into the
state.
This, briefly, is the progrrm
of the North Dakota Enforce
ment League for 1915. as out
lined by f. l.. Watkins, superin-
tendent of the league, in his ad-
dress at the Grand Theatre
Tuesday evening. Mr.. Watkins
claimed to have good legal ad-
wise that prosecutions could be
successfully carried out against
these offenses and served no.
tice that such prosecutions
would be started if, after a rea-
sonable time, the offences are
not stopped.
Mr.. Watkins in a very inter-
esting manner related the ex-
periences of the league in deal
ing with the liquor question in
North Dakota, how for time
it looked like a hopeless task,
but that gradually the blind
pigger and bootlegger were
dreven back until they are
now almost an unknown gen
try in the state.
The meeting was we'll attend
ed and was presided over by
Attorney Kirk. A local quart
cite rendered several excellent
numbers and Mrs. Thos. Hen
nessey delighted the audience
with a solo. The meeting was
opened with prayer by Rev.
McKelveY and scripture read
ing by Rev. Bake. ..

BADLY WRECKED
Main Line Freight Train Ran Int
Branch Train At Stanley.

Stanley, Feb. 21.-Five cars
loaded with coal and oil were
wrecked and two of them were
reduced to kindling, when an
eastbound freight train dash
ed into the branch train at this
place Sunday. The branch
train was standing on the main
line taking coal when the east
bound freight crashed into it.
No one was injured. but the
cars were torn to smithereens
and the track strewn with de-
bfis. ~e(~.' >i~a-srs
1t is said the engineer of the
main line freight could not see
the branch train and for some
reason, no hagman had been
sent out to protect the train.
The wreck was cleared away
today and traffic was resumed.

REPORTED SALE
OF NOR. TEL. co.
Rumored That Northern Telsphone So.
HAS Disposed OF It's Entire Held
lngs 10 Bell Company.

Information to the effect that
the Northern Telephone Go.
has disposed of its entire hold
ings in this section of the state
to the Bell company reached
The Courant yesterday from a
source that appears to be
authentic. V. b. Noble, presi-
dent of the company, who lives
here, is at president in Florida
and could not be reached for
either confirmation or denial
of the report.
The Northern Telephone Co.
has a big system throughout
the northwestern part of North
Dakota, operating long dist
ance lines. as we'll as most of
the local exchanges in the
towns in this section of the
state.
Until few years ago the
general Offices of the company
were in Bottineau, but on ac-
count of the increasing busi-
ness in the western part Of the
state the headquarters were
moved to Minot.
No information is at hand as
to the details of the deal, bat it
is likely that the Northern
holdings will be merged with
those of the Northwestern
Telephone Company, th 8
greatly increasing the ef6cien-
cy of the telephone service for
this part of North Dakota.

Rugby, Feb. q. An unusual
chain of misfortune has visited
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Page of this city during the
past few DAYS. The latter part

Reubsnstsln Again.
To The COurant:

To The Courant:
AS a member of that famous
sucker club l ask you to print
this letter.
In his issue of Feb. 11th the
News man has again tried, in
his usual subtle, insinuating,
underhanded way, to knock
our farmers organization.
Our self-appointed guardian
wishes us to know that we have
actually allowed some socialists
to get into the organization
and, worse still, that we have
employed some of these as
organizers and lecturers.
Just think for moment and
you will realize what a shock
ing state of affairs this is. Why,
my farmer brethren, haven t
you heard that they are a lot of
free lovers, that they are
against religion and are just
waiting for chance to break
up your home? We all know
that you want state hail insur-
ance, state owned terminal
elevators, flour mills, cold stor.
age plants, packing houses.
etc., and that interest rates are
altogether too high, but why
start sucker club and, above
all. why let the socialists into
it when our grand old aggrega-
ton of stand-pat republicans
and democrats stand ready to
give you everything that we
think good for you that is
with our own private
interests?
For country newspaper,
whose subscribers are princi-
pally farmers. to deliberately
belittle, not to say villify and
misrepresent their organiza-
ton, would lead one to sup
pose that it's editor was a per.
son of very low mental calibre,
if not a consummate ass.
The editor tries to leave the
impression that the lecturer,
Mr.. Bowen. has not made
success of his business. What
is success anyway And what
is Mr.. Bowen's business? Mr..
Bowen has followed the bust
ness of lecturing and has al
ways found it impossible to fill
all dates asked and at a fair re-
remuneration and also in line
with his chosen life work the
making of world wherein
shall dwell peace, justice. free
dom and plenty for all. IF do
ing this constitutes failure
without piling up gold. why. /
suppose even Jesus Christ was
a failure; also Abraham Lin
coin and many another such as
he who loved humanity rather
than gold.
! know nothing about Mr..
Bowen's private fortune, and |
do not believe Reubenstein
does, but / do know that his
credit and standing is good
and that he il respected by
those who associate with him,
