Among those who visited in Minot
this week were two Of Ward county's
first public school teachers, namely,
Miss Sadie Weber, of Tagus, N. D.,
first county superintendent of schools
of this county. While in the city Miss
Weber visited with old neighbors.
Mrs. Jean McNaughton Stevens was
also a guest at the home Of Mrs.
Truax while attending the teachers
and school officers meetings which
were held it the Minot Normal Thurs
day and Friday. Mrs. Stevens, in
speaking of her newspaper career,
tells an interesting story of her first
article written for the Minot Reporter
many years ago, then long and con-
tinued assignment for the Fargo For
UNI, for which she received a modest
salary. Her articles are always inter
esting and worthy of note and eagerly
sought and copied by many of the
state papers, especially the dailies Of
the state. A good daily paper could
we'll afford to put this interesting
writer on weekly salary. It would
have tendency to help build up any
paper.

William G. Rempfer, Of Parkston,
state secretary Of the Peoples Coun-
ell Of America for Democracy and
Peace, announces that the meeting
called to meet in Sioux Falls last
Saturday has been postponed until
October 10. II is very safe to pre-
dict that another postponement will
be necessary on October 10th, as the
governor has very justly decreed that
no meetings designed to foster sedi-
ton shall be held in the state, and
this proposed meeting is nothing if it
is not seditious. There is not sin- I
gle demand made by this organiza-
,tion that is q proper subject for con-.
sideration at this time. They are
all simply designed to hamper the
government in it's war operations and
give aid to the enemy. They demand
that the president state explicitly his
terms Of peace and call conference
to make peace on the basis of his
note to the pope. This demand is u T.
ter nonsense. The president has.
plainly stated the demands Of this
government, and Germany has SO far
failed to give any intimation that she
would accede to any Of those de-
mands. This country did not declare
war on Germany, but simply declar-
ed that state Of war existed. In
other words, congress simply declared
/ that Germany had commenced open
J, warfare upon US, and that it was our
duty to defend ourselves. This we
are now doing, and no one buta trait
Or to his country would demand that
we do otherwise. These people prate
about the rights Of free speech but
they show no compreh hension Of what
it means. Free speet.h never permits
slander; free press never permits
libel, neither does it permit treason
able utterancee or writings. There
is really no use Of trying to reason
with people whose shief argument is
subterfuge and eva sion. The membefs

regard to the continuation Of the war
and whether farmers can be assured
Of this price for the entire 1917 crop,
Senator Sterling has had conference
with Mr.. Herbert Hoover, U. S.
Food Commissioner, regarding the
matter. Mr. Hoover explained that
while the Committee fixed the price
at So. 20, it was with the understand
ing that the Allied Governments
would take wheat purchased by the
government for them at this price
until the firstof January. Because
of the fact that after that date the
Allies may be able to secure their
supply Of wheat from Argentine, In
Sdia and Australia at much lower
price than So. 20, it may in turn af-
feet the price to the American pro-
ducer. The general impression has
been that the price fixed by the Com
mittee would govern for the 1917
crop. The producers were heard by
Mr.. Garfield. the Chairman Of the
Committee. There was no intimation
that the price intended to be fixed
was depenent on the situation Of the
Allies or their ability to purchase
their supply Of wheat elsewhere for a
less price, hut according to Mr.. Hoov-
er, the fact that after the first Of Jam
uary the Allies may be able to- pur-
chase elsewhere at less than our pres
ent fixed price, will have q control
ling effect on the price the Govern
ment will pay. In this respect the
price for the 1917 wheat crop is not
guaranteed as is that for the 1913
crop, which is fixed by law at not
less than So per bushel.

It is reported from Des Moines
that Sc counties have failed to send
any draft men to Camp Dodge. The
count ties are mostly adjacent to Du-

Minn.. and several eastern North Da-

gerous game to play, as the men who
fail to show up are liable to be treat
ed as deserters.
