STUDEBAKER AUTO
PRICES TO ADVANCE

"The increased cost of materials
and labor. has finally forced US to an
nounce an increase in prices of all
models" says L. J. Ollier, vice-presi-
dent and director of Sales of the
Studebaker Corporation. "But this
increase will not become effective I'M
til September 18th.
materials entering into the con-
struction of S~tudebaker ears have adj
vanced anywhere from rs per cent to
100 per cent and, in some instances,
considerably more. Because of large
purchases, and long term contracts for
raw materials made last summer, we
are able4to continue u present low
prices. But at the present rate of
production and the popular demand
for S%tudebaker cars which is rapidly
exhausting all materials purchased at
old prices, it is necessary for us to
announce the increased prices to take
effect September 18th.
cit has always been a hard and fast
Studebaker policy to give the custo-
mer the benefit Of low prices as long
as possible and I want to make It
clear that we are increasing prices
only in proportion with the increase
in the cost of manufacturing Stude-
baker cars under prevailing conditions.
"The price Of the Studebaker
"Four" touring car will be increased
from $685. to $1050, and the "Six"
touring car from $3.50 to $685.. All
other models, including our CONNER
cial cars, will be increased proportion
ately."

MINNESOTA'S ACTION.

Fargo Courier-News Governor
Burnquist of Minnesota late today is
sued a proclamation prohibiting the
Peoples Council of America from
holding their proposed meeting in
Minneapolis or elsewhere in Mime
sofa.
The governors action followed a
report from Sheriff Otto Langum of
county in which the sheriff
stated that after a thorough investi-
cation he believed the proposed meet
ing would result in bloodshed, rioting
and loss of life. In his proclamation
the governor added his conviction that
the meeting could only aid and abet
enemies of the United States.
Every peace officer in the state is
called upon to aid in the enforcement
of the prohibitory order.

A fire line should be maintained by
the Dickinson fire department or the
police at all fires of consequence. An
illustration Of this necessity was af-
forded at the burning of the Wolf
hotel, when young boys and irrespon-
sible persons dashed back and forth
into the building during the progress
of the fire and carried away hundreds
of dollars worth of cigars, CONNECTIONS
and other movable articles. A large
percentage of these goods will never
again be seen either by Mr.. Wolf or
the insurance companies. Then again
young children were in constant
danger of meeting with accidents as a.
result Of falling walls and timbers,
broken glass, gusts of %scorching
flames and explosions. The city
council should take early action in
this matter and make arrangements
to have fire lines established at all
fires, and providing officers to enforce
necessary rules.

MARK WELL THEIR AIM.

VIM. C. Haywood, chief of the I. w.
WIS was interviewed at Chicago re-
Gently and said: "They can't stop us.
We will go on and on-we rough
necks-until we take control of all
production, and will work when we
please and as much as we please.
Look at the map. There's North Da-
kota, not a laborer will be found in
its harvest fields who hasn't the red
card Of the I. W. w, in his pocket,
and all down western Minnesota it
will be the same way. We are on
top in the lumber country; the agri-
cultural districts are coming in, and
when we get a little stronger we will
naturally take charge of all of these
things.
"Hell! What's the use of talking
about anything but the man who
works with his hands? The I. W. W.

is a roughneck gang! That's what
they call us, but when we get these
things straight we will dictate terms

of the taxes Of Mercer COUNTY int ; and
when we want to sit on a board ike
this, you haul US off," he complained.
Carl semmler, auditor, Sheriff
have been fired from the Mercer
county board. In their places are
j. A. Harris, staunch American, and
member of the recent legislature;
Dean Holland and DR.: l.. G. Eastman.
It is alleged that Semmler at the
draft examination over which he pre-
sided, in, addition to acts which
United States Secret Service men de-
clared unpatriotic and disloyal, used
his position to inject politics into the
affair. He distributed several hundred
copies of the Nonpartisan Leader to
the draftees.
"The only thing they have against
US" said Semmler, els that we are
pro-German."
Stanton people who backed the
action for the removal of the Mercer
county board think that admission of
PROC ermanism is enough and action
will now be taken to have Semmler,
Sagehorn and Haevischer removed
from their county offices, citing the
New Ulm, Mimi, precedent.
The new Mercer county board on
Friday completed the examination of
$50 more men.

It remained for an Ohio democrat to
prevent the prompt passage by the
House of the resolution authorizing
the president to open negotiations
with the countries at war with Ger
many with a view to obtaining their
consent to drafting into our armies
their citizens living in this country.
Unanimous consent was asked for the
consideration, out of order, of the
resolution, but the Ohio representative
vas quick with his II object" and the
matter vas postponed to a later date.
Doubtless this man is one of those
who have been vociferous in their de-
mands that democrats be sent to
congress to insure support of the
president and his war measures. His
action in this case is characteristic of
the source from which the most de-
termined opposition to u emergency
legislation has come during the pres
ent session.

LAY PLANS TO
FIGHT GRASSHOPPERS

" Director Cooper, head of the state
experiment stations, advises John
Thysell, superintendent of the local
station, that as soon as he is able to
find a man suitable to carry on the
work he would send him to the local
station to assist in the work of exter-
minating the grasshopper. South
western North Dakota has suffered
from these pests to a great extent
this season, and an effort will be made
to carry on the work of determination
during this fall and next spring.
Director Cooper advises fall blowing
and az it is getting late in the season
to carry out the regular plans of the
experiment stations this seems to be
the only thing that can be done this
year, and this will only catch a small
portion. Plans will be made to cope
with existing conditions next year
and the farmers of this section of the
state will avail themselves of the op-
%portunity of learning how to extermi-
nate the pests.
An expert on the determination of
prairie dogs, w. F. Elmer, will also
be sent to the local station during the
coming week, complaint having been
made by John van Eyck, who has a
farm three miles west of the city, that

HE STOPPED THE PAPER.

A couple or three weeks ago a sub
scriber, who is a we'll known citizen:
ordered the Press stopped, for the
reason, he said, that we criticized a
political friend of his. We have since
met him on the street and it is anus
ing to note the look of surprise on
his face that we are still in existence,
despite the fact that he stopped his
paper.
Some day, perhaps not so many
years hence, that gentleman will lie
no more. His heart will be stilled
forever. Neighbors and friends will
follow his lifeless lay to the silent
city and lay him to rest among silent
flowers. An obituary will be published
in this paper telling what a good
neighbor and beloved citizen he was
which the recording angel will over
look for charity's sake-and in a. short
time he will be forgotten. AS he lies
out there in the cold, cold graveyard,
wrapped in the silent slumber Of
death, he will never know that the
last kind word spoken for him was
by the editor of the paper which he
so spitefully stopped"
Did you ever pause for a moment
and think that your editor, whoever
he may be, will write your obituary
some day?

terms are met.
"The roughnecks will run things
then and the high brow will have to
get onto our platform. We r not
going to theirs. The only solution is
to bring everybody down to u basis
of living. Our ultimate goal is the
placing of all labor and all means of
production in the hands Of the men
who do the actual labor"
Mark we'll the hellish aim of these
roughnecks. Every man of them dis
loyal to his country, and their aim to
bring everybody down to their own
beastly level. It is high time that
the government step in and break the
neck of some of these roughnecks lest
they make good their threat and turn
civilization into chaos.

PRUIT FAILS TO APPEAR
AND FORFEITS BONDS

Bill Pruit, arrested two weeks ago
on a charge of bootlegging and whose
preliminary hearing was set. for last
Monday morning at 1000 o'clock,
failed to appear in Judge Folsom's
court and his cash bond, amounting
to $500 was declared forfeited. After
securing his release by putting up a
cash bond, Pruit shook the dust Of
Dickinson from his feet and hit the
trail for Montana, from where he was
brought some time ago when his al
legged first offense of this nature was
committed. He put up a cash bond
of $500 on both charges and should
he happen to stray back to Dickin-
son he will get tangled up with the
law again.
:Pruit has given the officers more or
less trouble and expense during the
past few months, and his continued
absence will, no doubt, be beneficial
to the moral welfare Of the COM
munity. ~

In, rendering a decision in the Het-

which, was up for trial in District
court here a few weeks ago., Judge
Crawford holds that the actions Of
the newly-elected board of county
commissioners are valid and that the
old board of county commissioners
had no authority to appoint official
newspapers.
The newspapers affected are the
Hettinger County Herald, Mott Pho
neer Press and the Bentley Bulletin,
appointed by the present board, and
the Mott Spotlight, Regent Times and
the Burt Echo, which were appointed
prior to the time the old board retired
from office. The former papers are

WHO IS RIGHT?

If Governor Frazier keeps up his
present policy, North Dakota may
soon become the headquarters and
dumping ground for anarchists social
list, !. w. VS., peace fanatics and riff
raft from all corners Of the nation.
AS soon as Frazier heard that Cover
nor Burnquist of Minnesota had barred
the fanatical meetings of the Peoples
Council of America from that state,
he wired the executive secretary of
that organization that the society
would be guaranteed constitutional
rights in North Dakota and invited
them to come to this state.
But the people of Fargo united in
protest against the propaganda, which
was scheduled for inauguration into
the state by Max Eastman, editor of
the socialistic publication, "The
Masses" Eastman's "peace meeting"
in Fargo was broken up in double
quick order, and the speaker took the
first train out of the city. Soldiers
and citizens remaining at the place
of meeting concluded the program
with cheers for America, the singing
of national songs and a genuine pa
triotic celebration. No violence was
shown Eastman, but the assembled
crowd made it plainly known that it
would stand for no reasonable or
pro-Kaiser utterances.
When he heard Of the action Of the
Fargo citizens Governor Frazier
roundly condemned their procedure in
breaking up the Eastman meeting, and
Stated that protection should have
been afforded the speaker. .
"How would you go about to give
the protection" was asked the COVER
nor.
"Why I would call out the Home
Guards to preserve ORDER" he respond
ed.
"But the Home Guards were instru-
mental in breaking up the meeting"

JOY-RIDING.

This country is consuming crude pa
troleum at the rate of 1876, 600, 900 bar
rels a year, and, as the annual product
is now only 3O0,OOO,OOO barrels, the
reserve surplus is being exhausted.
Production must increase or consump-
ton must decrease. AS the POSSIBLE
ity of the former is regarded as
doubtful, the latter appears to be a
necessity. Therefore the Advisory
Commission Of the Council of Nation
al Defense, realizing the need of
conservation, has issued the following
warning: "Pleasure riding should be
curtailed. People should look upon
their automobiles as necessities to be
used only when needed. Not a gallon
of gasolene should be used in the
present emergency except for some
useful end"
Many thousands of Americans, in
response to Mr.. Hoo7er's appeal, are
now using less wheat flour than
formerly. This is a harder task than
the cutting down of the consumption
of gasolene by curtailing mere pleas
ure riding, for all over the country
pleasure riding is done to excess. All
necessary uses of the automobile
could continue, even regular family
pleasure outings might not be inter-
rupted, and still the consumption of
g%asolene could be greatly cut down if
excessive and needless joy-riding
could be checked. There are thous-
Of car owners who are unwilling

young folks who joy-ride the whole

They may be seen dashing ceaselessly
around in every town of this country,
and the observer often wonders when
their prodigeous appetite will be ap-
peased. A vast saving could be ac-
complished without hardship to any
one, and even with benefit as a result
of variation in amusement, if the VIC
tins of i~mmoderate joy-riding could
be induced to heed the appeal.

Reiter at Richardton, had their pre-
liminary examination in Justice
Mack's court last week and were held
to the district court under bonds,
which were furnished. Fischer also
paid a fine of SIC, and costs on an as
sault and battery charge preferred by
Reiter. The defendant and the COM
planning witness had some trouble at
Richardton a few weeks ago when, it
is alleged by Reiter, the defendants
tried to forcibly eject him from a
building he was occupying.
The last was at first set before
Judge Folsom. The defense took a
change, of venue to Judge Sterland,
and the state then asked for a change

PROFESSIONAL GOLFER
DEFEATS LOCAL CHAMP
IN HARD FOUGHT MATCH

One of the most interesting events
Of the golf tournament week was an
individual match of SO holes on Sat-
urday between John Reuter-, Jr., Of
Dickinson, and E.. M. McElligott, a
professional golfer of Minneapolis.
What made the match doubly inter-
esting was the fact that there was
money up" on the outcome. The
match was "nip and tuck" from the
very beginning, Reuter- leading with
n up until the last round when Nc
Elligott forged ahead, winning the SO
holes by the narrow margin of one
up. The game would have been a tie,
but for a bad putt on the part of
Reuter- for the last hole.
