'BOLLEY TELLS
SEED METHOD
Advises Farmers How to
Get In Touch With Pur-
chasers of Seed Grain

H. L. BolIey, state seed commits
sioner, has issued a circular letter
addressed to those who hold seed
grain for sale, advising them of the
steps to take to get in touch with
purchasers.
Those who know they have seed
Of any variety that is fit for sowing
purposes whether they are able to
clean it or not should put themselves
in touch with those who want to
buy" says Mr.. Bolley. do this at
the earliest opportunity The way is
as follows: If you have grain of any
sort as wheat, barley, oats, fax, corn,
millet, etc. in small quantities less
than carload lots, you should send
one-half pound samples to the Pure
Seed Laboratory Immediately. We
will give you a report as to its seed
quality. If found of a quality fit for
seed purposes, we will place your
name and address on a State Seed
List and send that seed list to all
citizens who wish to buy. How many
bushels have you?
Under the present emergency
conditions, those who have a surplus
of seed ought. as a patriotic duty, to
let your neighbors know that you are
able to provide it. The state seed
lists are prepared to help. We do
not buy. We do not sell. We help.
The national law on sale of seed
wheat does not prevent you from
making a bargain with your neigh
Dor or any other citizen for such
prices as he is willing to pay for any
seed which is in your possession.
Farmers or elevator managers
who have grain fit for seed in
quantities of carload lots should sub
NIT sample to the state commissioner
Of agriculture at Bismarck. He wish
ss to get in touch with sufficient
of grain to furnish the coun-
ty commissioners operating under the
county bonding law.
Those residing in counties which
are bonded should not fail to sub
NIT samples to him, that your county |
and nearby counties may have the
benefit of buying local grown seed
at the lowest shipping rate, etc.
Samples sent to the commissioner |
Of agriculture, Bismarck, should |
weigh approximately one pound and |
be a fair representation Of the grain |
as Won are able to sell It,"

KEEP YOUNG

People with bad backs and weak
kidneys are apt to feel old at sixty.
Many old folks say Doan's Kidney
Pills help them keep young. Here's
a Fargo case:
VIM. Burns, retired farmer, 1918
Eighth ST., N, says: Il have kept
Doan's Kidney Pills in the house for
many years for know what they
are. When q man gets along in
years, his kidneys are likely to cause
trouble at most any time; at least /
have had frequent attacks of the
complaint. Sometimes the kidney
secretions have passed too freely
and made me get up many times
each night and there has been a
burning sensation when they passed.
A box or so of Doan's Kidney Pills
has never failed to cure me of an
attack Of that trouble and I have a
lot OF faith in them"
Price Coo, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney renedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mr.. Burns had. Foster Milburn Co,

PUTTING 1T coNcRETELY.

II any American were offered an
opportunity to buy a rifle to be used
against the Kaiser he probably would
sell his shoes to do it.
Yet four war savings stamps will
buy q rifle for a soldier.
A single thrift stamp-costing
twenty-five cents-WiH buy a tent
pole, or four tent pins. or a waist
belt, or a hat cord, or shoe Iaces and
Identification tags.
Six thrift stamps will buy five
pairs of wooden socks.
Twelve thrift stamps will buy a
steel helmet and may save a soldiers
life.
: One war savings stamp, costing
SA.1S, will buy 100 cartridges.
Three war savings stamps will buy
an overcoat, and four will buy a
rife.
And remember the money spent
for them isn't gone or given away
but it is merely loaned to Uncle Sam
to be returned with interest when
you want it.

MUSICAL APPRECIATION.

Music lessons" in the minds Of
most men who were fortunate or I'M
fortunate enough to have them as
youths, are associated with weary
hours spent running scales, while a
stern parent stood over them with
a metaphorical single to see that
the requisite number Of hours was
put in"
In those days. it was believed that
the sole purpose of music lessons
was to fit the child to be a perform
err. But now it is realized that the
study of music from the standpoint
of the listener is the more import
ant field.
With the great growth of mechan-
ical players of all kinds including
both pianolas and gramophones, and
their development to such a high
degree of perfection, it is no longer
necessary to have a member Of the
household who can play a musical
instrument, in order to enjoy good
music frequently.
The work Of David and Clara
Names in New York in developing a
course Of musical appreciation for
children, opened the way and most
cities are now including music as a
regular course of study in the schools,
not with an idea of making each child
a performer, but with the purpose
of having each child know and love
music.
Right here in Fargo the study of
music in the schools has advanced
much farther than most citizens
realize. Under the supervision Of e.
L. HOdson the course covers all
grades from the kindergarten to the
high school, inclusive. The work in
the grade schools, for example, in
cludes the singing of national songs, |
melody writing, song Interpretation,
appreciation work with the aid of
VictrOla, and regular practice work |
for those playing any kind Of musical !
instrument. In the junior high school |
there is regular chorus work with |
glee clubs for both boys and girls, |
and an orchestra. The high school of !
fers chorus and orchestra work, a !
course in musical theory, harmony, |
history and appreciation.
The grade school orchestras are de-
signed to act as feeders" to the
high school orchestra. What is most |
important is that music is no longer
looked upon as a "frilI," but is an
accredited study.
Music, in America, has been too
regarded as something eff
Terminate and of little practical |
value" Mr.. Higginson, a Boston
banker, gave $1.00O,0OO to endow the
greatest symphony orchestra in
America. Minneapolis business men
contribute about $4,000 a year for
he Minneapolis orchestra because
hey have found they can't do with
,ut it. The McCormicks have spent
Il, 100000 to give Chicago grand
opera. Fargo is working on much
more sensible basis. She is not hav-
ng music forced upon her from
.bove: she is building from the bot
ON by creating q taste for the best
hat music has toroffer. When that
aste is created. the rest win be
simple.

RUSSIA NEEDS A WASHINGTON.

oh for a George Washington for
Russfa today!
The youthful American Republic
had one Of the worlds great men to
guide it through its struggles for
aberty.
Russia has weak spined Kerenskys,
dreamy narrow minded egotists like
. Trotzly, ruthless Cossack generals,
schening brainless nobIemen Of the
old regime, crack Drained Socialists
ignorant hunks Of tallow suddenly
intoxicated with freedom and Crazed
with vodka, revolution, and the pos
session of rifle.
Precious lives, munitions and food
that would clear the Huns from her
soil, are frittered away, thrown away,
destroyed, for lack of a ruler.
Americans should sec today, on the
anniversary Of the birth Of their
first President, as never before the
good fortune that was theirs in the
possession Of a leader with the
strength, the courage, the prudence
and the calm, sane judgment Of
George Washington.
Congress, on his death, on mo-
ton by John Marshall, proclaimed
him: first in war, first in peace, first
in the hearts of his countryrnen." For
a. century American school children
have prattIed that phrase in school,
scarcely realizing it's meaning. To-
day, as they watch the tragedy Of
Russia, a great blind giant STUN
bling and suffering, the words should
take on a new meaning.

ORTIZ DAKOTA POLITICS
and POLITICIANS

Nonpartisans are going to their
! township caucuses in North Dakots
| today to select delegates to district
conventions. The district conven-
tions will pick candidates for the
state legislature and delegates to
the state conventions. All pro-
ceedings in the township caucuses
are secret, and only league members
may attend. City members Of the
league must go into the rural pre-
cincts to participate. as President
Gus shall be held in any city or in
corporated village. 1t is a purely
"on-the- soil" proposition, retired
farmers, living in cities and villages,
being barred as delegates to the dis
trfct conventions, and they are not
eligible as candidates for office, ac-
cording to the present rules laid
down by Mr.. Townley.
Precinct caucuses also are being
held in Minnesota, while in South
Dakota the league will not partici-
pate in the primaries. but will NOM
mate independent candidates next
fall.
It isn't just clear yet what will be
the result of the appointment of
Charles Mcdonald, OF Morton coun-
ty, to the position Of deputy warden
Of the state penitentiary, and the
placing Of Peter Reid. former deputy,
in the newly created Office of first
assistant to the warden. A Bismarck
report indicates that the shift
eventually means Mr.. Reds retire
ment.
Mr.. Mcdonald, a close political and
personal friend of William LANCER,
attorney general, was appointed at
a meeting of the board OF control
held in Bismarck several days ago,
attended by Governor Frazier and
Mr.. LANCER, behind closed doors.
At one time Mr.. Mcdonald was
looked upon as the administration
choice for the wardenship Of the
pen, but Frank Talcott still is on the
Job. Mr.. Mcdonald formerly was a
member of the state senate, and
sheriff of Morton county.
A special election has been called
at Cooperstown for March to name
a new mayor to succeed the late A.
NJ. Baldwin. who died recently in a |
Fargo hospital.
County political activity is evident
in McHenry county, where H. c.
Duntley, assistant cashier Of the |
Farmers State bank at Falsen has
announced himself a candidate for
the Republican nomination for clerk
of court. Frank J. Roble, clerk for |
the last seven years. has not an
his plans yet.
Granville Tribune: There was a
meeting of Nonpartisans at Towner
Friday. pursuant to a call sent out
a few days previous. The announce
ment had been made that the pur-
pose of the meeting was to endorse
a county ticket. However. most of
those present were opposed to such
action being taken, so nothing was
done along that line.
The Hanlinson News says that
August Bergman, a present Richland
county officer, may decide to become
candidate for secretary Of state.
During the recent session of the state
the rumor was prevalent
about Bismarck that Mr.. Bergman
had been offered league Endorsement

Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless

If you want plenty Of thick, beauti-
full, glossy, silky hair, do by all means
get rid Of dandruff, for it will starve
your hair and ruin it If you don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash 1t out. The only sure
way to get rid Of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this get about four ounces OF
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub ii in gem
thy with the finger tips.
BY morning, most IL not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will complete
ly dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
and your hair will look and feel a
times better. You can get
liquid arvOn at any drug store. IL is
and four ounces is all
you will need, no matter how much
dandruff you have. This simple
remedy never fails.-Adv.

The Nonpartisan league will not
officially participate in county office
elections, according to a notice pub
lished in The North Dakota Leader,
as follows:
at is a definite policy of the Non
partisan league, established by a
resolution adopted at it's last state
convention, not to interfere In local,
county or municipal politics. The
reason is plain The league came
into being to destroy large political
and economic evIls, evils that are en-
trenched in laws that are made by
state and national governments.
Therefore, as an organization and as
a political movement, it is not con-
cerned with local politics. In fact,
it would be wasting its strength as
an organization If it should attempt
to concern itself with them.
at is assumed that good citizens
everywhere will look after their To-
cal political affairs, whether in city,
town or county, and see that honest
and efficient men are elected to Of
fee. Nonpartisans are of course. in
terested as individuals, but the Nom
partisan league, whose work is cut
out for it in the various states and in
the nation itself, should not be made
an issue in local political contests.
League members are, therefore,
urged not to make use of the league
organization or name or to employ
their own influence as league mem
bers. in local or county political
matters. Do not be distracted from
the leagues real purpose, the en-
largement of American democracy,
by small issues close at hand. Such
a course would only weaken the eff

This article is printed as reply |
to several inquiries as to what
course might be deemed advisable
for league members to take in local
politics.
Newspapers in the Mercer Dunn
Oliver legislative district maintain |
that the proposed endorsement. Of |
candidates by the Dunn /
Center Elevator company, at a re-
cent meeting held in Dunn Center,
was in the interests Of 7. j. Nelson
Of Dunn Center, as a candidate for
state senator. The league papers in

for the senatorial endorsement at

The Harvey Journal is ar
raigned for being a tool of big
business, for attacking a 'legi-
Innate" farmers organization,
and the editor has been COM
manded to face the farmers of
the county and explain his posi-
ton.
Everything that The Journal
has had to say has been said
right out loud in public. Now
the editor is invited to square
himself behind closed doors. at a
meeting to which the public is
NOT invited, and there is an in
umation that he will be put in
a position to get out and boost
for the organization
The Journal is backed mainly
by farmers. That answers the
first Charge"
We have yet to be shown that
the chain store scheme is a
Legitimate farmers organiza.-
ton" Mr.. Brinton's answers to
the few questions propounded in
this issue may throw some light
on this point. In the meantime.
If the editor should see one Of
his friends being sold something
that looked suspiciously like q
gold brick, and did not warn his
friend to be careful, he would be
an accessory before the fact.
There you are. The paper is
not the tool of big business. We

looked like q legitimate farmers
organization. We have asked
some pointed questions, ii is true,
about the motives Of some people
who look as though they were
trying to exploit the farmers for
their personal gain, and those
questions have been asked right
out In public.
During the last two weeks, the
editor has counted nearly one
hundred and fifty columns OF
printed matter about this chain
store scheme I'm the TownIey

graph of that mass attempted to
explain away the criticisms or
answer the questions that have
been fired at the promoters.
II were going to talk about
this matter, let's do so out loud.
where everybody can hear what
is said. Make your answer. Mr..
Brintonr through the columns of

at least a portion Of the public
will be advised And be in posi-

statements.
