Langdon Republican: 1t has been
reported, though not officially by the
bosses of the Non-Partisan League,
that the NonPartisan Leader printing
plant would be moved to st. Paul
after the first of the year. North
Dakota farmers put up the money to
install this printing plant and some
of them thought they owned it or had
something to say about its manage
ment, but we have never heard any
of them say that they expected to
move it out of the state. Since Mr..
Townlev moved to st. Paul we pre-

AUTO TAGS FOR 1918 COST MORE

Bismarck, Dec. 20. - applications

A greal n;il. ber OF Tho 1918 appli.

the department because of misun
derstanding of the new automobile
law. Remittances have not been ac
curate in many instances and the de-
partment has had to return appiica-
tions for these reasons.
The license fee under the new law,
adopted by the last session of the
legislature, is based on the A. L. A.

fee being higher for the larger and
more powerful cars than it is for the
smaller cars. 1t is necessary in max

Porterhouse Steak.

The name porterhouse steak orig
mated from a public eating establish
ment. In the old stagecoach days
there was n New York tavern kept by
man named Porter. This place was
famous on account of the quality Of
steaks served to it's guests. On one
occasion the innkeeper. to satisfy the
demand of certain traveller, produced
piece of sirloin and served 1t to his
guest-his supply Of regular steaks be-
ing exhausted. When cooked and
served, the traveller found it remark
ably good eating, and in a short time
its fame spread and it was named
for the tavern and its proprietor, "Por-
terhouse" steak. Prior to that time,
this cut, which comes from between
the sirloin and the tenderloin, had been
used only for roasting.

Here's a queer CO." soliloquized
Ben "Oh, my!" He had removed
the hand securing the envelope. He
stared and thrilled as he noted it's con-
tents.-bank notes. One of them, he
noticed, was of one thousand dollars
denomination. For flashing instant
Ben realized that he had been taken
for some one else and entrusted with
small fortune, and wild temptation
crossed his mind. Then, his lips COM
pressed, his chest stood out and he
went up to the clerks desk.
SIS there Mr.. Archer here?" he
asked. II must see him at once"
'Not to be disturbed-he is i'll. I'll
send for his secretary, if you like"
"Do so, please" replied Ben and he
fumbled nervously with one of the
hotel cards. on a tray. and uncon-
sciously slipped it into his pocket as
the same young man who had given
the envelope to him appeared.
The latter looked startled and
frightened as Ben told his story.
II mistook you on account Of the

retary. 'Thank you greatly, sir" and
Ben left the hotel in sort of vague
and dissatisfied mood. He had trav-
ersed about three squares and had
turned into dark side street, when
three men who had followed him
since he left the hotel sprang upon
him.
Ben was knocked senseless. He
came back to consciousness to find
himself lying on a couch in the smok-
Ing room of the hotel. He caught the
words: eve brought him here be-
cause all we found on him was one of
the hotel cards." and, staring about
him, Ben noticed man wearing suit
that was prototype of his own-Hul
Morley.
"Hc's the man gave the envelope
to, and who returned it," spoke Mr..
Archer's secretary.
II hope he is not hurt seriously"
spoke Morley, in solicitous tone.
"Wby, there is only one solution to this
mystery. Someone must have been
watching out for me to get that money
and followed and attacked him, taking
him for myself"
The mystery was wholly solved when
Ben learned the identity of Hal M6r-
ley.
"Blessed little woman!" exclaimed
Hal. "But for her generous gift of
that suit the bank might have been
eight thousand dollars short"
So Ben had to go back with him, and
the bank made opulent returns to hum.

swered the last call last Monday

The family moved to Dakota in 1881
and located on a farm three miles
south of Glendale, and there they liv-
ed until moving to town, establishing
meat market. In 1907 Mr.. Lohse
sold his business, and the family NOV
ed to Los Angeles, Cal. There Mr..
Lohse again established himelf in the
meat business, until they returned,
after two years, and since that time,
excepting for occasional trips to the
West, Mr.. Lohse and Herman have

U. S. NOW IN CONTROL
Director-General Begins Duties by
DeIegating, For The Present,
The Task of Operating to The
Railways War Board.

! Washington, Dec. 31.-Sccrctary Of
the Treasury McAdoo, designated by
President Wilson as director-general.
has delegated to the Railways War
Board the task OF operating the ma.
tion's railroads for the present.
The war board. comprising five OF
the country's foremost railroad execu.
tives, who have been in supreme
charge of the railroads for the last
nine months, were called into confer.
ence. to discuss plans for welding all
transportation lines into single gov
ernment-operated system. They left
the Treasury department two hours
later under instructions to continue
their functions and to submit imme-
diately a plan of operation to the d.
rector-general
| First Formal Order Issued.
Mr.. McAdoo has issued his first
formal order, designed to speed up
freight movement. telegraphing all
presidents and directors instructions
to move traffic by the most convenient
and direct routes. At the same time
he ordered them to continue operat-
ing OF their lines in conformity with
the Presidents proclamation, putting
them under government control.
| The text of the order follows:
"Iiaving assumed the duties imposed
upon me and in pursuance of the
proclamation of the President, dated
December &c. 1917, you will until
otherwise ordered continue the opera
ton Of your road in conformity with
the said proclamation.
"You are required to make every
possible effort to increase efficiency
and to move traffic by the most con-
venient and expeditions routes. cons
fidently count on your hearty coop
Grafton. 1t is only through efforts,
unselfish service and effective work
that this war can be won and Ameri-
cas- future secured.
| "W. G. McAdoo,
"Director-General of Railroads"
Opens Way For Pooling.
I There was no Indication whether
Mr.. McAdoo intended to displace the
Railways War board with an organiza-
tion of his own, or continue the organ-
iZation for the continuance of the war.
1t is clear it will continue to function
until the director-general decides that
q better system can be devised.
| The order that freight move by the
most expeditions routes opens the way
for pooling of traffic impossible
heretofore by reason of statutes de.
signed to prevent the practice of car
, riers operated Under private direction.
1t takes from the shipper his right to
route his freight as he wishes and
leaves to the railroad traffic manager
the task Of sending 1t most directly
and where there is least congestion.
Removes Obstacles.
Although Mr.. McAdoo does not be.
lieve complete unification OF all rail-
systems can be brought about over
night, even with the legal restrictions
lifted, he expects that steps taken un-
der government control will remove
some of the obstacles that now pre-
vent the rapid movement of freight.

uuested to study the situation and re-

FARMERS SHOULD ARRANGE
FOR SEED CORN SUPPLY

e l wish to call to the attention of tl.c
farmers of the county the necessity
oil arranging for their seed corn for
next years planting at an early date
The supply Of home grown seed corn
or corn that is of the early maturing
Kind and adapted to our conditions
is proving to be very limited in guam
tlty. There is practically no supply
to be had grown north of this latitude
due to the almost total failure of the
corn crop in that region last season.
1t is needless or at least it should be
for me to emphasize again the i'm
portance of getting tried home grown
seed corn by our farmers in order to
be sure of a crop. / believe all our
farmers appreciate this necessity and
aim to get such seed but fail many
times because they did not act i'm
time.
We want to see large mature
crop of corn in Dickey county this
coming season. Nothing will do more
to help win the war and at the same
time make money for our farmers,
thru the production of pork and beef.
The pig crop you are planning to
raise and put on the market can not
be done very profitable unless you
secure a crop of mature corn.
Get Seed That Will Grow at Once
l urge every farmer to test the seed
he has at once and if it does not
germinate satisfactorily to arrange for
home grown seed at once. There is
a limited supply of home grown seed
corn for sale in the county. There is
a big demand for this to the north of
us and some of it is going there at
the present and more will go soon
unless our farmers get it bought.
/ suggest that the farmers who are
obliged to buy seed corn. try to buy
it from their neighbors or as near
home as possible, or from the seed
dealers in case they can supply them.
In other words get early seed at al
most any reasonable sacrifice and do
it at an early date or it will be too
late to do SO. have located consid-
cradle seed and in fact arranged for
the care of it last fall. In case any
one cannot find what he wants in
seed corn if he will get in touch with
me l will try and help him get sup
piled. This must be done, howeve,
not later than Feb. 1st as the owners
of the corn will want to know as soon
as possible whether it will be wanted
at home or not.
In case there is any one in the
county who has supply of seed corn
for sale which has not been listed
with me l will consider it favor if
they will report it to me. I will as
sist them to dispose of the supply and
it will assist me to fill the wants of
those who inquire for seed. have
orders for large quantities of seed
corn from the County Agents in the
counties to the north of us who want
it to supply the farmers in their re-
spective counties. They will not be
supplied, however until our farmers
hav egotten what they want, provd-
ing they do not wait too long. Act
now "Lest You Forget"
