RASMUSSEN GOT EVERY LAST
VOTE At SCHOOL ECTlON

Darcy Commercial: The school
election for this district was held
Tuesday and it was some exciting
election and the largest vote that has
ever been polled in a school election
in Darcy was cast. The term of Geo.
N. Rasmussen expired and a rumor
was spread around town that another
candidate was to, be brought forward
with the intention of ousting Mr..
Rasmussen. Whether the rumor was
false one, or whether the promoters
got "cold feet" when they saw 1.-THE
handwriting on the we'll" we are I'M
able to state, but the result was that
when the 60 votes which had been
cast were counted it was found that
Mr.. Rasmussen had received every
vote that was cast.

THE FlAG-AN0 YOU

THE FlAG-ANO wv
You fling out Old Glory; you sing her
proud story;
Her history thrills you through.
In peace, you march near her; you Do
people cheer her;
You're glad she stands guard over
you.
But, friend, in what manner do you
serve the banner?
Is your part just plaudits and Drag!
Do you see but beauty where others
read duty?
How much have you put IN your
flag?
IT'S not her star cluster, it's not her
stripes luster
That gives her sublimity,
Our banner is human; strong men and
brave women
Are wrought in the flag OF the free.
IT'S the service they render that
causes her splendOr-
Without them Old Glory's rag.
She calls-foes assail her. Will you
help or fail her?
How much will you give to your
flag?

LARGE NONPARTISAN LEAGUE
INCREASE IN BARNES COUNTY

-SNnSe NSIVV AVb IEN0OG
INCREASE IN BARNES COUNTY
IN. D. Davies in Nonpartisan Leader)
Statements have been made, and oc-
casionally published in some of the
gang papers to the effect that many of
the members Of the Non partisan
League are not renewing for 1917-1S
in North Dakota and in this connection
l believe a few words regarding the
situation in Barnes county would be of
interest to many of your readers as to
the real facts in the case. The canvass
in Barnes county is nearly completed,
and in every township finished the
membership of the League has been
increased from rs to 400 per cent.
The last township finished was Ellis
bury, located in the northwestern cor
ner of the county. There were eight
old members in this township, and on
Thursday last the League district su-
perintendent accompanied by Homer
Smith and Frank Finley of Pillsbury,
two live wire farmers of the township.
Increased the membership to 80, or
over 400 per cent. Every man in the
township who has been joined for the
next two years with the exception of
one farmer, who has been cajoled into
believing he is representative of
Big Biz" because he is a local repre-.
sentative of some of the coal barons.
1t is live wires like Messrs Smith, Fin
ley, Cadigan and others Of Ellsbury
township, and men of the same stamp
In every township in Barnes county,
who are entitled to unstinted praise
Tor their devotion to League work.
With such staunch supporters as Louis
Noltimier, c. A. Newman of Oriska,
c. j. Olson of Green, who secured so
members alone, Johnny Flach of
Hemen, Charley Maier of Mansfield,
F. B. Smith of Leal, Jack Johnson of
Wimbledon, Bert Bruins of Grand
Prairie, who doubled the membership
of his township, Robert Kranz, Louis
Nicoli, J. N. Osborn, of Darcy, Henry
Peterson, Charley TRACER and L. S.
Nordgaard of Scandal, A. X. Algeo of
Baldwin, John Mcintyre of Marsh and
host Of others in every township,
the avalanche of members could not
be stopped in Barnes county any more
than Niagara Falls could be turned
back with a pitchfork.
While Ellsbury township shows the
biggest percentage of increase, all
show substantial increase in mem
bership. Oakhill increased from 80 to
81, Grand Prairie township doubled it's
membership, Pierce increased from %
to As, Noltimier q to IS. $
These figures show that the League
membership is showing an average
increase Of better than rs per cent,
despite the statements of few dis
gruntled croakers, and everywhere the
League membership includes the most
level headed and successful farmers.

THE OLD RELIGION

l like the old religion that you've got
when you are glad,
For you can't have much religion
when your heart is feelin' mad,
Can't be bright and joyous, and can't
be strong and well,
And can't sing Rock of Ages" when
your heart is full of hell.
Yes, yes, the old religion that child
may gather in ill., ,ss .,7e,
From the beauty of the waysides in
this world of grief and sin; ;,
The kind of Christian feelin' that goes
with you every place, .
And you know it when you see it by
the smile that lights the face.
Just try to hum religion when your
soul is full of hate,
And you bang the door behind you and
you slam the little gate;
Can't be on the right road to salvation
less you're sweet.
Can't sing Rock of Ages" when the
devils in your feet.
Must be love and sunshine in the sys-
tenn all the time
To keep the old religion that comes
pourin' forth to rhyme;
The sweet old happy spirit that brings
beauty all the way
AS you 60 down whistling glory to the
tambourines of day.
The birds are doing their part this day
In the lifting Of light for the strug-
y gler's way;
They have no crouch and they have
no hate,
And they come with the punctual
spring elate
To serve, just serve, as the blossoms
do,
And the green grass, making no hula
baloo >a-. =.
About rewards, or the crowns, or
cross,
Or who shall be private and who shall
be boss;
And I'm so glad that the birds know
best
A service that pours from the happiest
breast. Baltimore Sun.
