Awe THEM 4 FAIR SHOW.

Bathgate Pink Paper: The
farmers who belong to the
Nonpartisan league are not
given a fair show for their
white alley. It is safe to say
that a majority of the farmers
of this state have joined the
league and are called suckers
by the great power of the press
of the state, most of the bank
ers, a majority of the profess
sional, and many Of the bust
ness men. Now, honestly, you
fair minded men, are they as
great suckers for attempt
ing to organize for mutual aid
and protection as they have
been to allow the other fellows,
who are organized, each in
their craft, to control public
affairs, make the laws, lay
down interstate rates, control
transportation and manipulate
grain markets? If the farmers
want to form themselves into
an organized body, whose bust
ness is it but theirs? Is all
this fuss and opposition|because
that opposition fears the farm
ers may guide themselves
wrongly, OF because they have
personal ends to serve?
At the republican county
committee meeting last week
at Cavalier, resolutions were
passed to the effect that no
candidate whom the league
had endorsed would have their
support. With three or four
exceptions they were bankers,
professional and business men,
placing themselves on record
as opposed to the farmer move
ment. This is true, in too
many instances, for the pre-
servation of that friendly feel
ing which should exist be-
tween town and country.
The complaint is made that
the League is. opposed to the
town. 1t does seem somewhat
that way, in some particulars.
But many of these are neces-
sary crudities to first organiza-
ton. Is it going to make the
feeling between town and
country any more friendly to
have the farmers feel that they
are rubbing up against the
sharp edge of antagonism and
bitter criticism? The farmers
claim that the success or fail
ure of the town, in this purely
agricultural country, depends
upon the success or failure Of
the farmer. So many of those
in the towns think the farmers
depend absolutely upon them.
Which is right? Give the farm
ers a show and let them expert
ment. We are all selfish and
to a considerable extent dollar
chasers, made of the same clay,
born with equal hopes and am:
billions. Why then should we
quarrel and make ourselves al!
selfishness bv not giving the
other fellow a fair show?

PROGRESS
 BY ALLIES
French Capture Second Line Position Over -O.Mile Front; British Also
 Gain; German Losses 60,OO0.

London July 5.-The French con- tinue to make more progress than the British on the western front, owing partly to the more difficult ground facing the British and also to the fact that stronger forces are opposing them because the Germans believe the main attack will be on the British front.
 But despite their slower progress the British are successfully beating back heavy German counter-attacks which have been delivered both day and night in the regions of La BOis- selle and Thiepval, and between the Ancre and the Somme, where they are making steady progress.
 It is estimated that the German loss es in the battle of the Somme thus far are approximately 60,000 The cap ture of guns has been comparatively small, because the Germans, in antici- patton of the offensive, withdrew their big artillery to longer ranges be- fore the battle began. Approximately 16,O00 Germans have been captured.
 The French have carried by assault the second German lines on a front of two kilometerS from the road between Clery and Maricourt to the river Somme. They also have captured the village of Henri, in the same district and all the German second positions south of the Somme on front of about 10 kilometers. They have also completed the occupation of the viii lage of Estrees, where 200 Germans surrendered.
 French Nearing Peronne.
 According to aerial observations on the French front in the direction of Peronne there are now only more trench systems between the French and the open country and if a break can be made in the German lines here it will be extremely serious fer the Germans, who are doubtless hurryine up endorsements from far as Yer dun and Lens.

Look and Feel Clean, Sweet and
 Fresh Every Day
Drink glass of real hot water before breakfast to wash
 out poisons.

Life is not merely to live, but tc live well, eat well, digest we'll, sleep we'll, look well. What a glorious condi- tion to attain, and yet how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath.
 Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, split ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid sto- mach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stagnant matter.
 Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, eac1 morning, before breakfast, drink b glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous days indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour lamentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly ex- tracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for thorough flushing of all the inside organs.
 The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of lime stone phosphate from the drug store which vii cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pro- nounced crank on the subject O. internal sanitation.

JOHN }. BILLI0NAIRE
 THROUGH OIL BOOM
Standard Of New Jersey Worth
 More Than $2,000 a Share

New York, Sept. 29.-The boom in Standard Oil stocks on the curb and lover the counter" yesterday carried prices so far forward that stock of the Standard of New Jersey as it ex- isted before the dissolution, was worth more than s2,00O a share. The highest price for the stock before the supreme court decree was put into effect five years ago, was $750. Ap- plying yesterdays value of old Stand ard Oil shares, with the equity in sub- sidiary companies intact, the market worth of the company's original cap ital stock was close to $2,000, ,0O0,- GOO. This makes John D. Rockefe1- Ter, head of the company, easily a millionaire.
 When the government suit against the Standard Oil company for dissolu- tion was in its earlier stages, on Sep tember 21, 1907, the stock list of the company was made public on the wit ness stand. Mr. Rockefeller was shown to own 247,692 shares of stock, more than three times as much as any other holder and more than six times as much as the next largest

individual holder. two estates ranking next to him. This stock was valued at $675 a share on the day the com pany was broken up five years ago, by the supreme courts decision, though at times it had sold as high as $750. The following table shows the value of MT. Rockefeller's hold ings:
 Par value of John D. Rockefeller's 247,692 shares ..

He bought $10,000,000 worth of the Anglo French loan floated in the fall of 1915. He owns a large part, it is understood, of the stock of the United States Steel corporation. Besides this, the
 
 given away sums estimated at nearly s200,O00,000, of which about $60,0Oo- 900 has gone to the general education board, nearly s30,00O,00O to the Uni versity of Chicago, s10, 100000 to the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re- search, and $6,Oo0,O00 to the Rush Medical college. About S10,O00,00O has been contributed to various relief works by the Rockefeller foundation since the war began.
 The figure of $2,0O0 for the per cent value of Standard Oil shares was pa rtly theoretical, inasmuch as the old stock with it's claim to fractional parts of the thirty-three minor concerns seldom comes on the market any more in that form. When the com rany was dissolved the stockholders received in addition to their Standard Oil of New Jersey stock, fractional parts of the stock of each subsidiary. It is in the value of these fractions that the expansion lies. When the market opened yesterday the aggre- gate value of old Standard stock was SHAY, and when Standard of New Jersey swung up to $567 a share, the value of the subsidiaries len bloc" and one share of Standard was $2,O14.
