these boys are not going into any

ARE THESE MEN FARMERS?

We have read that fairy tale how Towney farmed, but was ruined by mar
kt manipulation. An inveaigationof Towneys farming methods would e
veal it a a very clever aibi, to fool the farmer. There is but one farmer in
the whole state of North Dakota who will approve the methods he employed.
To buy several thousand acres of vacant railroad land, sold on instalments, to
acres of land and seed to flax, many acres of which never came up, though
it was said to be seeded, and do everything on a big bonanza getrich-quick
scheme means but one of two things First a sudden accumulation of wealth
II the opposte-to go bump. Perhaps the latter was the purpose, since it
gives a opportunity to work the sympathy racket and assume the injured air
of a martyr Of course it was a fine basis to found a farmers party after
first trying it without success as a statewide socialist proposition Do farm
approve? In the last ten years how much have the following gentlemen,
actually titled the soil, though they are now the selfapponted leaders of a So
called farmers movement.
First, Townley, the socialist; second. LeSeur, the socialist; third, Oorman,
the socialist; fourth, Thomson, that beautiful bespectacled gentleman, with
the willie goat appendage, former editor Of the Socialist Iconoclast, of Minot;
-6fth-Iiagaa, former state secretary of the socialist party, formerly of Minot,
now of Fargo; Sixth, Bowen the mouthpece of the N. p L. former socialist
candidate for governor o the socialist ticket; Seventh, Griffith, former So
ciaist candidate TO ralderman in Minot; Eighth, Dorocher, of Grand Forks, or
some other place, former socialist candidate for Congress; Ninth, Williams, of
Grand Forks, socialist; Tenth, Meitzen, of Texas, now Grating for the benefit
Of the farmer, he of the Rebel fame. twice candidate for Governor of Texas
on the socialist ticket; Eleventh, Coates, the "pariamentarian" at the last
legislature, former socialist 1t. governor of Colorado, former socialist city
commissioner in Spokane, (who knew Harry Orchard, the murderer, now

Prof. Ross. A. Geortner and Dr. Geo.
Holme Of the university farm, assist
ed by Prof. A. D. Hirschfelder, Of the
University Of Minnesota Medical col
.lege, were present. The test proved
that the use Of the British gas mask
makes the wearer immune to the gas,
which is very destructive to the lung
tissues, while a German mask that
was used, failed utterly. The. gas
masks were loaned by Major ]. r,
Templeton of the British mission. The
British mask was used by Major Tenn
pleton at Vimyridge, and the German
mask he found in no mans land.
