time with an abscess of the ear.
He is somewhat better at this
writing.
The Cash meat market on End
street and Dakota avenue has
gone out of business. Mr.. ITrebil
who was associated with that
firm is now employed at Benda's
meat market.
Mr.. Hodel is suffering from
severe cough which breaks uo his
nights rest and makes the days
uncomfortable. 1t is to be hoped
that the warm dry weather will
aid him in recovering.
A large delegation of the Wah-
peton club women attended the
district club meeting held at Lid
gerwood on Tuesday. Nearly ev-
cry one took the auto route as the
roads and weather were splendid.
Among those that went were
Mesdames Lauder, Barnes. De-
vine, Smith, Sprung. Van Arnam.
and the Misses Mirick and
Whips.

This week. They intend to remain

Wahpetonians out there in the
near future.

1T is THE OTHER WAY.

The Messenger at Minot is getting better every day since it
took up the fight for good government in this state:-Bottineau
News.
Some people have a queer idea of wha constitutes a good gov
eminent. North Dakota today has as good a government as any
state in the union-and better-the best they ever had-but, the
News and the Messenger must have a new set of official tucked up
their sleeves they would like to give a try-out.
We are 1oathe to believe that the time will ever come when
the state will again be governed by a set of Chamber o" Commerce
supporters. To take up the fight for good government would be
to assist other states do what North Dakota did instead of rant
ing along making wild assertions concerning the good government
we have.
These are only a few of the many similar paragraphs pub
lished by the Minot Messenger in the interests of the farmers. y
'"They say you can't insult the Kaiser by saying LaFollette
will go down in history "Hun-Wept," "Hun-Honored" and Hun
Sung" "' "
Townley keeps right on preaching class hatred. Funny what
man will do for money, isn't it? The Gar is having a pretty fat
living at that.
Townley is confronted with a big problem. LANCER or Frazier
for governor? The Gar and his Friday will have a hard time to
pacfy Wilhelm.
Rev. liners National Patriotic Association of Velva comes
out straight from the shoulder and asks Senator Gronna to resign.
That's easy, but to whip Frazier into line is a more difficult prop
osition. When the Reverend gentlemans organization cuts deep
into Townley and his Friday at Bismarck, We'll consider it an as
set to the state.
If Townley has collected a Million in dues for the League,
controls a $4,000 printing plant, which is owned by Ed. Wood,
News (Socialist) of Fargo, bought for $4,000, bosses a Million
ing Plant, a string of retail stores, a bunch Of Country Newspapers
and the Lord only knows what all, then it sort of seems that he
you'd not need any libel suits to increase his wealth. That should
be sufficient for one man. Still he doesn't "Own' this stuff, he
just controls it. Where do we come to the point when it's proper
to laugh?

SHOW AN DSALE.

Tn Live Stock Show and Sale to be held at South st. Paul on
December 18th and 18th will be confined this year to cattle, sheep
and possibly a few hogs, but many letters are being received ask
ing if chickens and horses will be admitted to this sale. It is hoped
that in time this show and sale will become one of the big events
in the livestock business and that it will include all classes of stock
produced on farms of the Northwest, but this year the bulk of the
stock will be cattle with a few offerings of very choice breeding
sheep and a few head of thoroughbred hogs. During the last few
days many letters and a great many farmers have been heard from
that will be in st. Paul on December 18th and 18th, not only on
account of the Live Stock Show and Sale held by farmers them.

A TERRIBLE RESOLUTION.

For the benefit OF those who may have forgotten and akt
for the benefit Of those who wanted to forget we again publish
the resolution passed at the meeting Of the producers and con

lows:
we join our allies in this struggle and to the end that JUS
tice, liberty, equality and democracy, political and industrial,
shall be the heritage of all mankind, we pledge our lives, our
fortunes and our sacred honor to our country and our flag
in this, OUR WAR.
Inspired by patriotic and loyal devotion to the princi-
Piles of democracy, true to the ideals Of our fathers of uphold
ing and defending human rights and human liberties; and
single in our purpose to make the world safe for democracy,
political and industrial, we, the members and delegates of
farmers organizations, representing sixteen states, and the
members and delegates of fourteen labor organizations, rep
resenting eleven states do hereby reaffirm our alternative 10y
atty and allegiance to our fellow ctizenssand our government
in this world struggle and in their every need"

NOT WORTH THE PRICE

A Kansas editor is about as hard to get ahead of as a Kansas
cyclone. 0. w. Weaver of the Sedgwick Paragraph recently
raised the price of his paper from $1.OO to $1.5O a year, and in
replying to some complaint about the change says: "You may
be of the opinion that the paper isn't worth $1.5O. Neither is a
gallon of gasoline worth Fl cents, nor 10 pounds of sugar worth
$1O0, nor a pound of veal worth 80 cents, nor a bushel Of corn
worth 80 cents, but these are the prices the people are paying.
Potatoes are retailed at So per bushel and sow bosom at % cents
a pound. So don't get mad at us. Goodness knows, we didn't
start that fuss in Europe
Thousands of our boys are already somewhere in EuropeIn

that the money a North Dakotan subscribes will provide a cup Of
hot coffee or chocolate that will brace a Dakota boy as he goes

GREAT BRITAIN'S THIRD
WAR LOAN BIG SUCCESS

Striking Victory for the Government
over Professional Financiers.
London, Feb. c6-There was a scene Of
great enthusiasm in the House Of Com
mons to-day when Andrew Bonar Law,
chancellor OF the exchequcr, announced
the result Of Great Britains third war
loan. which is by far the greatest
voluntary contribution by the people Of
any belligercnt nation. More than 1000 .
10000 pounds Of new money. with more
than 5.OO.0O0 subscribers, arc the
stupendous figures which the chancellor
Of the exchequer confessed he would have
thought it impossible to raise only a few
days ago.
The loan has resulted In a striking VIC
tory for the government over the pro-
fessional financiers. since bankers had
advised the treasury department that 1t
could not be foated at less than six per
cent Mr.. Law at the time declared that
hu preferred to risk failure in an attempt
at a five per cent. loan rather than to
place six per cent. as the standard OF tho
nations credit The chancellors highest
expectations Rad been for GOO. 0oo, 900 pounds
Of new money.
The tota! o: new money" includes the
conversion Of nearly 13l ,nr.oO pounds

difference OF opinion whether they
should be regarded as such. some hnancicTs
taking the negative ground that they
represent money which the government
already has spent.
