live STOCK. DEPARTMENT
IS PROVING SUCCESSFUL

Bismarck, Oct. 14.-T h e
Equity's most recent enterprise
the livestock exchange, esta-
llished about ten days ago in
the twin cities, is thriving, de-
clared F, B. Wood of Fargo,
manager, who has been in Bis
marck. The exchange sells
cattle on a commission basis,
and when possible sells feeders
direct from grower to buyer,
eliminating middle men.
1t has staff of FIVE expert
cattle, hog and sheep men, and
is equipped to handle sales of
any sort of stock in the South
St. Paul yards. Although it
opened for business only last
week, the exchange has al
ready handled IL cars of stock,
and there are prospects for the
receipt of as many care the first
of next week.
The exchange has offices in
the Clark & Gould building on
Broadway.

ADVISES VACCINATION
on CALVES FOR BLACKLEC

Bismarck, Oct. 13-An in
stance in which an ounce of
prevention costing ten cents
is worth about 100 pounds. of
veal worth $25 was reported
today by DR.. w. F. Crewe,
secretary of the sanitary live
stock board, who is receiving
reports of isolated cases of
blackleg from points south of
Bismarck, north of Regan and
near Baldwin.
Blackleg is an infection af
fecting calves after their sixth
month. It is practically incur
able, usually fatal, and where
it becomes general the soil is
50 impregnated as to threaten
the life of future herd.
DR.. Crewe advises that calves
from six months to two years
old be vacinated for blacklee.
The virus costs ten cents the
dose; it can be administered
by any layman, and shot may
save an animal worth from $50
to $780,.

CIVIL SERVICE
IS ADVOCATED
Bismarck Di,pateh Say. Law ]. Al
ready Being Drafted to do Away I
With Political Plums.

/ Bismarck, Oct. l8. One of
the certainties in legislation
for 1917 is civil service law
which will cover all state en1-
ployes as well as employees in
all counties and cities where
the staff totals more than %
people, or the payroll exceeds
s., 600.
Civil service is a hobby Of
Lynn J. Frazier, who seems q
very good bet for the next gov
ernor. He embodied civil SER
vice in his platform early in
the campaign, and there is now
being drafted a model civil
service bill which carries out
his ideas.
The purposed law will affect
every clerk and employe and
every public official in the
state service except elective
officers or those for whose ap-
pointment the constitution pro.
vides, or who may be termed
policy directing officials.
It will cover every state in-
stitution, as we'll as the vari-
GUS administrative depart
ments, and there is a possibili-
ty that it may be extended to
embrace the public educational
service. ~
The bill now being drafted
will provide for a civil service
commission of three members,
who will draw no salary, or, at
the most, only a per diem. The
board will have a full paid
secretary, who will be the ex-
ecutive officer.
The author of the proposed
act advises it is not intended
that the law shall remove from
Office employees now on duty in
various departments and in
stitutions, but it will provide
no advancement or increase in
salary for such employees ex-
|cept thru a standard civil GER
vice examination, and those
employees who have. not taken
the civil service examination
may be removed without trial,
as under present conditions.
Civil service is now in effect
in ten states and $50 cities. in
addition to the federal govern
ment.

FACTS ABOUT
LEAGUE TICKET
Attitude Of League Members in Prese.
Campaign Explained By Nom
partisan Leader.

u The Non-partisan League
has not held any convention
since the primaries. The only
state convention it has held
was held in March this year.
The Nonpartisan League has
not endorsed any candidates
for county Offices or for nation
al Offices. The Nonpartisan
league has not endorsed Will
SON; neither has it endorsed
Hughes. The Nonpartisan
league has not endorsed Nc
Cumber; neither has it endors-
ed Burke.
All Of this ought not to be
news, yet it seems that there
are SOME people in the state
who do not know it, who think
the league has in some wav
identified itself with the re-
publican partyin North Dakota.
Nothing of the kind has been
done. 1t is true that some
members and sympathizers OF
the league cause took part in
the recent republican state con-
vention and caused the adop-
ton of platform planks indors-
ing the league program. That
commits the state organization
of the republican party to the
projects which brought the
league into being. It does not
in any way commit the league
to anything.
Meeting in republican state
convention and acting in the
capacity of a partisan organiza-
tion the men who met at Bis
marck made sweeping endorse
ments of all republican eandi-
dates. They could do no less.
That is part of the game Of
partisan politics. The league
has no part in that and wants
no part in it.
The league is a nonpartisan
organization. It is not for Nc
Cumber, it is not for Burke,
1t is not for Hughes, it is not
for Wilson. What members OF
the league do about voting for
these men they dosas indivi-
duals. They do not bind or
commit the league in any way.
League members should
paste this in their hats. They
should get it straight and stick
to it. The League does not
waver from it's course. 1t
sticks to its Inducements and
its program. The partisan pol
itician says, Vote the party
ticket straight. - The League
says: Don't vote any party
ticket straight; vote for the
league candidates. Nonparti-
