WHO is THE MOST PATRIOTIC?

"The farmers first duty in this crisis is to make the land pro-
duce as much food as possible. The most patriotic thing he can
do is to cultivate the soil mtensively. He is doing that and doing
it we'll.
ut would be a crime against the country and it's cause for a
farmer to spend for Liberty bonds money which he needs to in
crease the productivity of his farm. The farmers didn't buy
enough Liberty bonds to suit those critics who question the farm
ers' loyalty. But all the agricultural states over-subscribed their
into bonds. Instead, they wisely put it into farm machinery and
fertilizers to increase their yields so that the world may be fed.
I'LL Informed persons again accuse the farmers of profteer-
ing. They say the farmers are making too much money. This is
not true. The time has never been and is not now when American
farmers got too much for their products!
Consumers have been paying too much for farm products.
Who got unpatriotc profit? Well, it wasn't the farmer anyway.
I took some pains to find out these things. l found that when
wheat sold at $34O a bushel in the Chicago wheat pit, the farm
er who produced the wheat was only getting $1.35 a bushel Who
was the profteer?
"The price of wheat was fixed by the Food Administration.
That was the first step. The farmers who met in st. Paul to de-
mand that prices of other things be fixed on the same basis we're
altogether right and justified in their demands.
"There is a pernicious brood of Tories, junkers and reaction
aries in every city and every state in the land" continued Mr..
Vrooman. "They carry the black flag of financial piracy and the
yellow flag OF economic treason. They are a menace to the et-
fcient, economical and honorable carrying on of this war.
AT every election from this time on the liberals of all
political parties should make common cause against vested prlVl-
lege, reaction and anti-social standpatism. In the name of our
soldiers who are fighting abroad urge you to denocratize your
humanize your business and financial worlds that we and you and
our children and your children henceforth may enjoy a sovereign
citizens right to his fair share of the national patrimony and of
the national prosperity, to genuine self-gove1nment and to indus
trial as we'll as political democracy"
Mr.. Vrooman's remarks not only refute the charges made
by Big Business newspapers, but he went on to advocate just what
the National Nonpartisan League always has advocated and in
effect his entire speech was a taclt Endorsement OF It's program
for industrial as we'll as political democracy.

ing of this kind would be toler-

Certain interests have tried
to teach you city workers that
we farmers are capitalists
President Townley continued.
"As a matter of fact census
figures prove that the average
family on American farms last
year earned as yearly wages on
ly $31S.22 above the value of the
food they consumed. On this
margin you can decide for your
self whether they attended

we are told that you workers in

Urging the cooperation of
organized workingmen with the
organized farmers, President A.
C. Townley of the National Non
partisan League, told delegates
to the American Federation of
Labor that the Farmers and
workers. economic interests
were closely inter-knit and that
such utilization would give the
biggest possible impetus toward
putting field and factory wal
products on the market at lower
prices and in greater quantities.
Mr.. Townley addressed the
Buffalo convention last Friday
from the same platform from
which President Wilson spoke
four days earlier and he and the
President were almost the only
outsiders invited to address the
American Federation of Labor.
LET the two great classes of
producers join behind the gov
eminent in this war;" President
Townley pleaded. "Let us wipe
out the parasitical middleman.
Let us down the profiteer and in
a surprisingly short time we will
find that our people at home will
be better and more economically
fed and that our forces at the
front will be better and more &C.
onomically equipped.
1--WE have a right to combine
President Townley added. "And
we will not be true to our best in
terests if we fail to do so. The
laborers of this country repres-
ent 37.3 per cent of the nations
population and the farmers rep.
resent 1872 per cent. Together
we form 7O.5 per cent of the
population of the United States

for 1926 and again he was greet
ed with, shouts of mo"
mo, I hardly think so either"
replied MI. Townley. Il think
most of this money goes to the
men who work the worker and
farm the farmer and it will con-
tinue gong to them unless we
organize to prevent it."
Mr.. Townley got an enthusiast
tic ovation and after the conclu-
sion of his speech scores of dele
gates crowded about him asking
him questions about the farmers
movement "If you are as
much interested in taking care
of your surplus as we are in TAX
ing care of ours, we can get to-
gether all right" said one dele
gate and this sentiment was gen.
orally approved.
The address of President
Townley is really epochal in a
way, for it is the first time that
the American Federation of
Labor, the greatest labor organ
ization in the world, has been in
vited to cooperate with the
farmers and this invitation was
extended by the head of the
largest farm organization in the
world.

get economic justice or the full
product of our toll until we COM
bine and make our force felt.
Otherwise we never will be able
to prevail against the selfish and
sometimes sinister forces which
are bending every energy to keep
the farmers and workers apart
and thus deprive ourselves and
our families of our fair share of
what we produce"
President Townley emphasiz-
ed the loyalty to the Nations
purposes shown by the farmers
of the Northwest, who over-sub-
scribed the Liberty loan quota
by the highest percentage any
where in the country, despite
two successive crop failures and
a sharp reduction in the price of
their principal product. With
this record and with evidence
that the milling interests are ex-
acting a dollar a barrel profits
for making flour on one hand
and locking out employees who
dared join trade unions on the
other, he said some suspicion of
the loyalty of certain profiteers
might come closer to the truth.
: When President Townley re-
lated the story of the formation
and growth of the National Non
partisan League and instanced
extortionate profits of those
against whom it's defenses were
raised, he was followed with the
closest attention by the dele
gates. And his story of the big
potato crop and how Governor
Frazier of North Dakota found
potatoes for which the farmer
had been paid 70 cents a BUSH
el selling for $3.50 a bushel in
New York last winter caused

from Great Britain to express
amazement and ask further par

GAME WARDEN'S FAULT

The following written by Bert Smutz of Garske, N. D., and
published in the Minot Messenger:
1.-THE goose shooting promised to be the best in years, but it
showed and turned cold after the geese had been here a few days
and it drove them all south. That is the reason why the ducks
shooting is so good on Devils Lake now, it froze all the small and
shallow lakes up that cold spell and drove the ducks all into the
big lake. If there is any place on Gods green earth where they
need a game warden, it is in Ramsey county. North Dakota, in
the fall of the year, for the hunters Especially goose hunters)
come here from all over the state to hunt geese, and about four
ffths of them don't know how, SO they proceed to chase them with
reese either. It surely makes a person that tries to hunt accord

along and spoil a good shoot for him while the game warden is

Wouldn't that give you the "shivers!" The idea of having
game wardens who wont teach North Dakota hunters how to
