ls$EfMXM sofa farmers, at the rate OF
S 1000 per week, are marching
forward to join the League ranks.
Minnesota now has more than twice
as many members as it had when the
snow fell last winter and the end is not
in sight.
Minnesota League meetings and pic
MICS are drawing from 1000 to 5000
farmers and their families and the at
tendance is getting better all the time
One thing that has happened, as
the result of the success of the
League, is that the flake" Minne-
sofa Nonpartisan league, which
threatened for a time to discredit
the work of the real League, has
turned up it's toes and quit. There
is still an office in St. Paul, where
the "Fake" league set out to make
it's headquarters, with minnesota
Nonpartisan League" printed on it's
windows, but the office is empty
and locked up and the windows are
stuck over now with circus signs
and recruiting placards.
The "fake" league, after it's first
splurge, wasn't able to make much
progress. They got out letters to all
the farmers clubs in the state, show
ing their hand by devoting most of
the letter to an attack upon the real
League and they got some pretty hot
replies to some Of these letters. Then
they announced one meeting of their
own. That meeting wasn't much Of a
success; the farmers came there pre-
pared to denounce movement started
in an effort to destroy real move
ment.
Next the fake league tried to buy

FEELS BETTER NOW,
AFTER GETTING FACTS

There has been an entire change in
the attitude Of the public of Minne-
sofa toward the League. At the start
almost every newspaper fought the
farmers organization. During the re-
cent congressional campaign in North
Dakota, however, two of the leading
ST. Paul dailies strongly advocated
John M. Baer's election and after Baer
was elected with a vote greater than
the combined vote of his Republican
and Democratic opponents third
paper, which has in the past been one
Of the strongest opponents of the
League, came out with a leading edi-
torial declaring that the cause Of the
League was just and that better prices
for farmers would not mean higher
prices for the consumer, because it had
been shown that the middlemen were
robbing both the farmers and the con-
sumers.

Organized labor in Minnesota is
solidly behind the League program,
For the first time in it's history the
Minnesota State Federation of Labor
at its state convention at .Faribault
this week had two representatives of
the Nonpartisan league seated with
them as fraternal delegates. Creden-
tials designating Joseph Gilbert and
L. w. Samuelson as the representatives
of the farmers were sent to them by
the labor men.

used to know Wood. When Wood was
homesteading at Deering. North Dako-
ia, Goodrich was homesteading another
claim few miles away. So Goodrich
looked up Wood and demanded to know
about the League movement Wood
took him down to League headquarters
and showed him the whole workings,
told him what the League had done in
North Dakota and what it was doing
in other states, showed him that there
was no connection between the flake"
league and the real League.
II know better now" said Goodrich,
when the writer saw him after he had
completed his investigation. "This is
a great movement for the farmer and
I'm booster for it. And my neighbors
are going to hear about it, too"

RAILROAD MEN
WITH THE FARMERS

There is another group Of organized
labor, not affiliated with the state fed
Grafton, which is particularly strong
in Minnesota. This group is composed
of the four railroad brotherhoods. In
their biennial report this year the leg
islative committee Of the brotherhoods
recommend in strongest terms cooper
alton between the farmers and the
railroad men. The report speaks of the
record Of the last North Dakota legis-
lature in enacting laws for the benefit
of the laborers as well as the farmers.
with the example which the farm
ers Of the country have set u.s. it is
surely time that we should emulate
them," says the report What has
been done in North Dakota has spread
to other states and today we have the
National Nonpartisan league. 1t be-
hooves us, therefore, in the state Of
Minnesota as organized workers to give
consideration to this matter and be-
fore another election takes place to
council together and line up with the
workers Of the soil, so that together
we may be in position to eliminate
the middlemen who are now parasites
upon all classes of workers."

persuade them to work for the new
organization and against the farmers.
They didn't succeed.in this and this
is the last thing they have tried.
Instead of having the windows of

FARMER COMES IN
TO "SHOW-UP" LEAGUE
The fake league did some harm while
it lasted, however. 1t succeeded in
confusing few people and in creating
the impression in some quarters that
the real League was dominated by big
interests. The writer of this article
was in the National Nonpartisan league
offices the other day when a farmer
came in from Greenbush, Roseau coun-
ty, clear up on the Canadian boundary.
The farmer was B. +. Goodrich, a hard
worker in the county for cooperative
creameries, farmers stores and other
projects for the good of the farmers
But Goodrich was against the League,
he had told his neighbors that it was
mo good" that it was controlled by
the interests" and so forth. Some Of
the other farmers were pretty good
League boosters They got into quite
an argument. Finally one Of the others
told Goodrich they wouldn't let him
into the League if he wanted to join.
Goodrich promised to "show the
League up" He made special trip to
st. Paul, $50 miles, to investigate it.
The first thing he found out was that

AUTO REVENUES
 IN 1917 PASS
 Tt]ThL FOR 1916

The money taken by the office of the secretary Of state for automobile lie ences, and which goes into the good roads fund has in the first three months of the year exceeded that talk en in during the whole of last year by nearly Sl0,000
 In January of 1917, s54,65S5O was taken iN. in February s15,395.50 was received and in March S14,200 was paid by motorists for licenses. This is a total of $S4254 During the whole or 1916, only S75,937 was received.
 If the present rate of increase is kept up, it is the opinion of the sec retary, that there will be enough money for good road purposes to pave every road in the state or at least in Mari cOpa county.
 During the whole of 1916 only 12,125 licenses were issued, while during the first three months of the present year that number has been far exceeded, and at present there are over 14,000 autos in the state carrying licenses.

SPORT NOTES

Weather conditions have already in- terfered with the National league schedule. The first game of the year at Baston has been postponed because of snow. The major league should change the scene of their activities to the Sal; River valley. where snow, at least. will not interfere with the play ing of games.
 According to eastern baseball writers the probable winners in the two major circuits are as follows: National-New York, Brooklyn, Boston, Philadelphia Pittsburs, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis; American lcague-Boston, New York, Philadelphia. Washington, De- troit. Cleveland, Chicago and St. Louis Take your choice, boys.
 Someone suggested that Pants Row land put Jake Fouraior back on first base so that some of the other teams in the league could win game once in a while. F'ourniers efforts in going at ground balls during the early part of last season were so funny that they were truly pitiful Rowland had to move him off the infield to save his life.
 Steve Yerkes, once a member of the Boston Red Sox, has been sold by the Cubs to the Toledo American league club. Yerlles deserted the Boston man agement during the Federal league days and it is evident that he is now suffering the results.

This he demon- strated last season, but a series of mis- IOrtunes which has seldomly been equalled in baseball history robbed the Smiler of a golden opportunity to win a pennant in his first year as a major ie@gue manager. He will bear watching this season.
 Jennings at Detroit and Rowland at Chicago both have powerful fighting agsregations.
 Rowland unquestionably has won derful infield and a good pitching staff, h1t his outfield has always been trou- blesome. In Schalk, he has 8 catcher who is the peer of any in the league.

It is hoped in this way to maintain high school depart nnent Of constructive principle and also alive with the real news of the Phoenix institution of which citizens arc justly so proud.
 SIX SCHOOLS ACCREDITED
 Six high schools of Arizona are TOW or the accredited list of the North Central association of schools and col leges. They are Phoenix, Globe, Bishee WinsloW. Prescott and Tucson. This is remarkable showing for the schools of Arizona. Few states have as large number in proportion to their size
 Most of the credit for this goes to Principal Cook of P. l.. H. s. Two years ago he started this movement while at Globe and later carried it to Phoenix, when he came here. These Were the only two schools accredited last year. This year he recommended the other four schools and they were accepted without even being placed on the warning list as most schools are. This places these schools on the same basis as all the other big schools in the United States. Mir Cook deserves great credit for this service

Pittsburg will play at Chicago; st. Louis at Cincinnati and Philadelphia at Brooklyn.

 Dufng the Spanish American war, baseball experienced little, if any, set back. Last summer the International league clubs in Canada enjoyed marked prosperity.
 Unusually close races are expected in both leagues. The clubs of both organ c point where at least SIX teams in each circuit are considered real pennant con- tenders. E
 That a number of the teams are ever- ly matched has Nbeen demonstrated in the nter-league games played during the training season. In practically every instance, the contesting teams split even or one had the better of the argu- ment by a single contest.
 In the National circuit, the teams which now appear as pennant contend CTS are New York, Brooklyn. Philadel- phia, Boston and Pittsburg. It is quite generally admitted by critics through out the circuit that the eastern teams will undoubtedly fight it out for the honors. New York is looked upon as the dark horse" because of the re- markable spurt of the team during the last few weeks of the 1916 season.
