THE STORMY NIGHT.

What are I though the storm blows
wild
Der meadow, stream or sea,
When I within my humble cot,
Content and safe may be-,
The cattle lie within the barn,
Contented, safe and warm
Old Dobbin nibbles at his feed,
Protected from the storm.
Within the house a blazing fire,
Gives forth a welcome bright,
To all to come within and share
A shelter from the night.
The tables laid with steaming food
The family gathers home,
The circle now looks good to me
AS one by one they've come.
The dishes cleared, we sit around,
And read or sing or play
Or tell some funny story
Just to drive dull care away.
Perhaps at times Jul heart grows sac
Our sympathies will be
With those now forced to wal ano
strife
In lands across the sea.
We hope and pray our noble chief
Will keep us from the strife
And lead our glorious, country
In a peaceful happy life.

FINE BAND

The ninth annual mid-winter con-
cert given by the Bottineau Military
Band at the Grand Theatre last eve
ming was n Of the finest musical
treats offered the people of Botti-
neau for some time. The theatre was
crowded to the doors, indicating the
popularity of the band with the citi-
zens.
A feature Of the program was the
first public rendition of the "Non
Partisan League" March, a snappy
martial air composed and arranged
by Director Wasem.
Each of the specialties introduced
was Of high class and called for re-
peated encores.
AS a climax to the evenings pro-
gram the audience rose while the
band played the "Star Spangled Ban
ner." A large American flag was un-
furled at the rear Of the stage set
ting during the rendition of the air,
Illuminated beautifully by colored
spotlights. It was an impressive
tableau, particularly fitting in these
times of an international crisis.
Following is the program as rem

and all the remaining members of
the board of directors residing in this
state shall be members. This COM
mission is authorized to procure bids
and proceed to the construction of a
terminal elevator either in or out Of
the state and appropriates out of the
general fund the sum of 5000, 900 for
that purpose. It further provides that
$4,000 shall be subscribed to the
fund by farmers and cooperative ele-
vator companies. After it is built
the Exchange may buy it entirely by
paying to the state ten thousand dol
lars annually until the full amount is
paid, with three per cent interest.
An intesesting thing about the bill
is that it carries an emergency and
declares that in the interest of the
public health, peace and safety the
law shall go into effect at once so as
to handle the 1917 wheat crop. One
is %thereupon constrained to ask, why
the rush, in view of the attitude Of
these same senators two years ago.
1t is interesting, also, to note with
what disrespect this bill treats the
report of the board of control on the
matter of terminal elevators. That
board advised that a terminal eleva-
tor to be of any practical value should
have a capacity Of at least 100000
bushels, and would cost at least ST.
000, 900. Now comes this bill and ap-
propriates 100000 which will build
al elevator Of about 100000 bushels
capacity.
If even this little sop had been
handed to the farmers two years ago
there would have been no Nonpartisan
League today and all would have been
peaceful and tranquil on North Da-
kota's political sea. But it is certain
that the farmers will not be content
with a squeezed lemon at this time,
especially since it is to be paid for by
direct taxation.

D0INCS IN THE LEGISLATURE

partisan was standing near and i'm
mediately reported the episode to the
house leaders and then and there ar
rangements were made for the re-
consideration of the bill. When the
bill was reconsidered and sent to sleep
Staale Hendrickson grew eloquent in
his denunciation of such tactics and
spoke learnedly of certain biblical
characters, known as Sampson and
the jawbone of an ass. Sampson, he
alleged, is dead and the jawbone has
moundered into dust but the ass still
lives and retains the full use of his
faculties.
Lawyer Divet did not take the de-
feat of the fake 2-cent fare bill as
good naturally as did Staale. He
flew into a rage and charged that the
League members were wearing a cor
poration collar, that the railroads
dominated the Nonpartisan League,
ruled it's headquarters and that the
Northwest hotel was donated to the
League in consideration of which no
adverse legislation was to be passed.
League members only smiled and said
they would wait till a couple of bills
that are now on the way, proposing
to regulate freight rates come up
and then they would see who favored
the railroads.
Relief to Come in 1850
Fake bills came thick and fast in
the senate the last few days of the
period for introducing new bills.
Bills III and 118, providing for the
construction of flour mills and pack
ing plants passed the senate the mid
die of the week, proposing to raise
the funds therefor by direct taxation.
The first named bill was introduced
by SANDSTONE, follower from Rctti-
neau, and the other by Stenmo OF
Grand Forks, the heretofore unknown
who was plucked from the plow
handles and placed in public life by
the farmers organization and who i'm
mediately thereupon turned traitor
and checked in with the old gang and
has been proclaimed in certain gang
papers as the "rising young states
man from Grand Forks"
At first it was thought these bills
might have been introduced in good
faith but a little figuring convinced
them of the contrary. 1t was found
that on the basis of present assessed
valuation a tax of one-half of n
mill it would require 20 years, II
months and 20 days to raise the sum
of SIS, 900 and that it would be at
least four years before the laws
would go into effect which would bring
it up to 1921. Add to that 20 years
and the flour mills might be estab-
lished by 1850 if they had good luck.
It is likely that some of us will not
need flour mills at that time. We
will probably need instructors in harp
music or a pitchfork. Besides the
league members are unalterably op-
posed to raising funds to- finance such
enterprises by taxation. They de-
mand that they be financed by bond
issues and that the interest and the
principal be paid out of the earnings
Of the industry.
McGary's Terminal Elevator Bill
Another bill which showed bad
faith upon the part Of the senators
was that introduced Saturday by Sen
ator McGary providing for a terminal
elevator. This bill provides for the
creation of a commission, of which the
president of the Equity Exchange
