Non-Partisan Organizer
Goes on Rampage

Several weeks ago we had oc-
casion to refer to a Non Partisan
League organizer who was devot-
ing no small share of his time
Dragging as to what he was going
odo to the Emmons County Rec
ord. Now the same gentleman
is devoting himself more directly
to the publisher.
Last Thursday night Mr..
Ferdie Meier, who says he comes
from Robinson, Kidder county,
and who is bent on showing our
local farmers what wonders they
can accomplish by digging up
mine bucks" each to him, pro-
ceeded to get Or huge drunk.
1t was what might be called a
fighting drunk. After spilling
some of his booze on the floors
of the Office and dining-room of
a local hotel and getting himself
keyed up to high pitch of ex-
citement, he hied himself to the
Record establishment bent on
trouble with "we-uns. The
Record man being in Bismarck
at that time, the animated brew.
cry had to devote his attention
to the Office help. Later, he
wasted about eighty cents on a
seven-minute long-distance tele
phone call to the Record man ir
an attempt to get all his supply
of threats and warnings off his
system---they and the booze nc
doubt being too large load ever
for, him to carry.
In short, Mr.. Meier has con
ceived the idea that we had de
signs on his character and has
sort of dared us to say anything
further about him. So here we
are. When sober this party ha:
been accustomed to tell about
how much money our attack or
this new stunt was making fol
him. Either his prosperity wa!
too much for him, or else thu
strain of attempting to claim
such wonderful results was get
ting on his nerves.
i In any event, if these Leagu'
officials have any judgment the.
will pull this representative o
theirs off before he drives ava,
by his action what support the,
have already built up.

Big Fire Loss
In Glendale

Glendale, N. D., May o.
Famed by a forty-mile gale, fire
destroyed three solid business
blocks, including "a buildings
and 60 residences at Glendale to-
night. The town was still burn
ing at ! o'clock.
Lack of sufficient fire fighting
apparatus and inadequate water
supply hindered efforts to check
the spread of the flames. The
fire started in an old livery barn
which the city had threatened to
tear down and is thought to have
been incendiary. The flames
swept over a strip two blocks
wide through the main business
and residence section of the city
and out in the country where
several sets of farm buildings
were destroyed.
The loss is estimated at be-
tween $250,OOO and $350,000
with about $4,000 insurance.
The following buildings were
destroyed: Blumer Grocery, two
story brick, loss $4,000; Neuman

1t u Natural for Girls TO Leave Home
Says Scientist.

-
Washington, March 29.-Science
now claims to have determined why
girls leave home. 1t insists that the
girls are not lured, but that they just
go naturally, and if there were no
lei to invite them, they would go
anyway.
DR.. Charles b. Davenport, director
of the Carnegie institutions station
for the study of evolution at Cold
Spring Harbor, l.. L., gave the opinion
on which science based it's verdict.
According to DR.. Davenport, man
is naturally a nomad as are his near
est kin in the animal kingdom, the
man-like apes. As mar obtained a
little more civilization he settled
down. He compelled woman to es-
tablish a home for him and he did
most all of the family's travelling in
search of food or a fight.
And even today, while a man is
more nomadic than women, woman
still likes TO leave home, according 10
DR.. Davenport, and the reason Is that
she occasionally reverts to the type
of her early ancestors.

Church Meeting
MRS. KITCHENER, FROM KANSAS,
INDICATES HER STATE.

A record breaking crowd filled the
Methodist church last night, both
auditorium and Sunday school room
to hear Mrs. Kitchener answer the
question, rs Kansas a joker"
Mrs. Mitchner is president of the
Kansas Woman's Christian Temper
ance union, representing 10000
ONE of her state. She detailed
the temperance history of Kansas
from the time when the drastic pro-
hibition law which is on their statute
books was framed and passed, to the
present day. The Kansas prohibition
law reads, The manufacture and sale
of Intoxicating liquors shall be for
ever prohibited in the state of Kan
sas except for medicinal purposes"
To pass the law was one thing, and
to enforce it was another, and it was
not until the of Kansas were
given the municipal ballot twenty
eight years ago, that results began
to show.
In a most interesting way, Mrs.
Kitchener compared Kansas and its
neighbor wet state, Missouri, as to
prosperity and happiness. She re-
minded her audience that when Wall
street, several years ago, appealed TO
the bankers of the west for aid, Mis-
souri, was unable to send a cent, but
poor old g~rasshopper Kansas sent
$50 ,000, 900. She proved conclusive
ly that prohibition does prohibit.
The speaker drove home the creed
that there is a work which al be
wrought by mother love, for which
no other persons are quite so well
equipped, and that for this reason
women must have the ballot. To
back their work for moral uplift, and
for the boys and girls no other weap-
on avails. Kansas women have full
suffrage.
The audience sang the campaign
songs of the w. G. t. U. with en-
thusiasm and vim. and a strong pub
lie sentiment was evident in the at
mosphere of the gathering.
A group of little folk from the
Methodist church, grouped upon a
teeter board, to symbolic their in
stability, appealed through their
spokesman, John Goldman, for a dry
Madison in the coming election. One
of them, urged the boy, would be
the victim of the liquor traffic,
should our town be wet, and the audi
ence was asked TO put its hand upon
the n it would choose.
Several Presbyterian little people
presented a telling tableau entitled,
Well Fix It." One little girl ex-
claimed over the twenty-five snakes

Northwestern National Life News

This company made large gains in all lines in 1915. New
business thus far in 1916 shows a gain of at least SO per cent
over the same period of 1915. Death losses in 1915 were less
than for any year of the past ten, while the amount of dfyi-
dends apportioned to be paid to poheyhoders was increased
q per cent over the previous year. No changes were made
in the directorate or official staff of the company.
The company operates in eighteen western states only,
having voluntarily confined its field of operation to the health
lest and most productive and progressive section of the United
States. Northwestern National Life was the first company to
pay its share of the loss sustained by the death of Thomas
Sheylin. Its check for 100000 was delivered to the Sheyln
Company beneficiary on the day Of the funeral.
1t now has in force in South Dakota over So. 900 of
insurance, and a large amount of this is carried by people of
Madison and Lake County. New business written in the State
in 1915 amounted to a little more than $1,000000.
Above are some of the REASONS WHY you should place
your insurance with this good company. 1t is now numbered
amongst the TEN LEADING LOW NET COST companies OF
the United States. Premiums run considerably lower than
most of the large companies, with present dividends compar-
ing most fayorably, and steady increase each year unexceled.
