Rev. Maxwell, in his book on The
Nonpartisan League From the Inside, !"
says that Grandmaster Townley char
acterized the farmers as cold hay
Seeds" which, in other words, means
easy marks. Townley probably drew
his conclusions from the fact that
many Of them voraciously bit on the
SIG bait. 8

There are people in this country
who are so greatly in love with the
kaiser that they hope, when we cap

Americas war expenses for July
were $1,482,000,00 somewhat less
than the expenditures in May or June.
This means that the governments
daily outlay for last month was about
$48,000,O0O. Some idea may be
gathered from this why it was neces-
sary for the government to issue
Liberty bonds and War Savings
stamps.

Down at New Ulm, we are told, the
use of the word "pro-German" has

Six creameries in Todd county,

Radical increases in the taxes on
cosmetics and other luxuries have
been tentatively agreed to by the
house ways and means committee in
framing The $4,000, 100000 war reve-

A daily paper says that $50 manu-
featuring industries in Minneapolis
and it's subsidiary territories have or
ganized, with a capital stock Of $780,
100000 for intensive war aid. Is it
not reasonable to infer that prospec-
tive profits were also taken into con-
sideration by the promoters Of this
great "war aid" scheme?

One of the great difficulties which
the kaiser is unable to cope with in

Calves Take a Joy Ride.

Last Thursday four calves were
observed taking JOY ride on the

Hard Year for Apitators.

/ II =
The creation Of a party Of discon-
tent, which has been skilfully engin-
!eered by man from North Dakota,
is going to be a more complicated
task this fall with Minnesota farmers
cashing in on the most profitable
crop they have ever raised. If the
fortunes of providence were other
wise and this years crop was failure
it would have been an easy task for
clever agitators to have planted seeds
of discomfort and resentment against
existing conditions in the hearts of
thousands who now will merely laugh
at the calamity tales Of the "organ-
izers." A man with a growing bank
account makes a poor subject for the
preachers Of the gospel Of discomfort!

that the German element there will no

report on profiteering on the part Of
Chicago packers. But there are two

figures were based on the capital stock
of each Of the packing firms, and not
for gross business or percentage Of
profits thereon. Armour's profits in
1917 were 2.21 cents on the dollar Of

profits by Armour & Co. last year was
$2,OO0,000 upon business of $685.
100000, and in which $156 100000 Of
their own capital and $133,O0O,0OO Of

with the expectation of realizing a
profit on the amount borrowed. These
figures are obtained from the August
