AIRPLAME OVER BELLEF0NTE
SIeepers. Startled by Motors, See Ma
chine Flyinu Westward.

A number OF Bellefonte, Pa, resi-
dents were startled out Of their sleep
at two o'clock Sunday morning by the
passing of an airplane over the town.
From the loud whirring of the mot
ors the machine was flying low and
flew almost direct due west. No lights
cou'd be seen.
The presence of the machine in this
locality and at night is mystery, as
there are no known stations within a
hundred miles.

IT is THE H WAY.

The Messenger at Minot is getting better every day since it
took up the fight for good government in this state:-Bottneau
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 loathe to believe that the time will ever come when
the state will again be governed by a set of Chamber of 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

Townley is confronted with a big problem. LANCER or Frazier

pacify 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 gentleman's 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,
the Deering farm hand, also owns or controls the Daily Courier
News (Socialist) of Fargo, bought for $4,000, bosses a Million

A TERRIBLE RESOLUTION.

For the benefit of those who may have forgotten and also
for the benefit of those who wanted to forget we again publish
the resolution passed at the meeting of the producers and con-
sumers in st. Paul. It sounds rather "unpatIiotic," but we will
take a chance in publishing it just the same. The resolution fol
lows:
1--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

Inspired by patriotic and loyal devotion to the princi-
pies 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

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. 1t 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
