For the proof of this whole
matter, we ask you to read the

every body knows that the time
has not come vet when ten men
has or shall take hold of the
skirt of him that is a Je " saying
that we will gJ with thee, be.
cause we have heard that God is
with thee, This can only come
in the days of the Everlasting
Gospel. For in those days the
MoUNrAINof the house of The
Lord must be established in the
top OF the mountains and exalted
above the high hill and people
m ust flow to 1t, and then God
will rehuke strong nations afar
off aud they will have to beat
their swords into plowshares
and their spears into pruning
hooks, and nation shall not lift
up sword against nation neither
shall they learn war any more.
What a glorous day this shall
be when the NOUN. TAIN
of the house of the Lord
shall be established, and this
Jew man made manifest by the
ten men out OF all languages of
the nation, having hold of his
skirt, and at this same time this
Jew man will be made manifest
by the following circumstance.
P,ease read.
"Apd in that day seven women
shall take hold of on man saying
We will eat our own bread and
wear our own apparel only let us
be called by thy name take away

This is the same man who the
ten men out of all languages o1

FARMERS 1: FORM /
SHIPPING ASSN

Last Friday afternoon the farmers
in the vicinity Of Starkweather met
and organized what is known as a
Farmers Cooperative Livestock Ship
ping association. A. J.. McLarty, a
well known farmer of that vicinity,
was elected president and another
well known farmer, Fred Anderson,
was elected manager Of the associa-
tion. Besides these officers a board Of
five directors were elected.
Saturday afternoon the same kind of
an organization was formed at Hamp-
den, when over thirty farmers signed
up as members, but the permanent Of
ficers were not elected. but a meeting
will be held later on when the organ
ization will be completed. There was
q good attendance at both meetings
and much interest was shown by the
farmers of these communities. This
lisa good movement, and will no doubt
be Of much benefit to the farmers who
will avail themselves Of cooperation in
shipping their stock.

FORGED CHECK:
J.. GETS 5 MOS,
q ~ - - ~ ~

Lakota Americana young man
attempted to cash a check at the Far
mers and Merchants bank on Tuesday.
which he claimed had been given him
by farmer near Mapes. The bank
officials asked that he be identified.
He said he would get F. Goldammer
to endorse the check. He left the bank
and soon returned with Mr.. Goldam-
mer's name attached to the check. AS
soon as the bank cashier looked at the
signature, it was thought that it was
not genuine, with the result that the
man was soon in the hands Of the
sheriff, to whom he admitted his guilt.
He gave his name as Mike Miller, but
his real name is Carl Brandt, of Fer
gus Falls, MINI.
Sheriff Sander Peterson took the
prisoner to Grand Forks, Wednesday,
where he entered a plea of guilty.
This being his first offence, he was
let off with a sentence Of only three
months.

times 6S,800.00 is the meager sum of
$2,64O, 100000, and remember that
they do not intend to stop with thirty
stores, they are going to put in as
many stores as they can find COM
munity suckers. It looks as if we
were right When we said editorily a
few weeks ago, that money was Town
ley's controlling ambition. It looks
to US as though he wanted to get rich
quick when he put in 10000 acres of
flax when he did not have money to
put in half Sec. and pay for it him
SELF. This store plan of Townley's
does not indicate to US that he has
given up the ambition to become rich
quick. He is still on the trail of the
millions and has fair show of get
ting it. Who can blame him? If a
man allows himself to become sheep,
he cannot complain if the wolves eat
him.
We feel like congratulating. the
flaza farmers on hav ng more good
hard sense than to fall for any game
of Townley's like this store plan.
Few of them, it is true, have employ
ed Townley to do their political think
ing for them, but they are rapidly
seeing the joke and quitting the leag-
ue. There is not farmer around
Plaza that does not begin to laugh
when you mention the League, and
talk about paying good, hard money
out for political advice and being
bound to vote the way the League ma
nipulators direct. The age of indie
pendent thinking is at hand. Farmers
are not going to be duped here any
longer. There are not enough local
league men under pay Of the League,
to hold the farmers into line. It's be-
ginning to look silly, and when that
time comes, farmers are going to be-
gin denying that they ever did have
any confidence in the League or Town.
ley. Pure and undiluted common
sense, is the greatest enemy the Leag-
ue has had. You can't follow and
THINK. If you THINK, you won't
follow and if you follow, you aren't
thinking.

Here, apparently, large part of
the country is in the thores of a great
labor upheaval, due to dissatisfaction
by the working classes over the pro-
gress of the peace negotiations and
over internal political conditions gen.
orally. Throughout the country thou
sands upon thousands Of working
classes-both men and. women have
struck, and many of the great manu-
featuring industries are affected.
In Berlin, alone, nearly half a mil
lion persons are reported on strike,
and hourly those who have quit work
are receiving reinforcements. Like
wise at Kiel, the great shipyard center
at the Hamburg Iron Works, and
in the Rhennish Westphalian mine re-
gion, workers have left their jobs.

sease spreads from the point Of or
igin in Oregon int othe States of Ne
vada, California, Idaho, and Utah.
Cattle and sheep were destroyed in
large numbers and hundreds of per-
sons were bitten. As a result Of the
campaign conducted by the bureau in
cooperation with local authorities and
stoclsmen, the spread of the disease
has been checked and conditions have
been greatly improved. It is believed
that with the continuance Of the
work complete eradication Of this al
arnine disease among the wild ami
mails Of the affected states can be ac-
complished.

Mills TALK FAR
FROM CONVINCING

On Monday afternoon at the Grand
opera house and in the evening at the
Court house in this city, Walter
Thomas Mills, one Of the leading So
cialist lecturers in the country, spoke
to fair sized audiences, considering
the ewather. He was here to talk for
the Nonpartisan League, being one Of
their high salaried men, sent to this
state to expound Socialistic doctrine,
under the guise of farmers organiza-
ton. During the afternoon there was
possibly 200 people present, major
ity of them being men and women
from the city, and the balance farmers
who had come in for the purpose Of
hearing Mr.. Mills. To say the least
his speech was interesting, and he
showed that his thirty years on the
Socialist platform, has made him
real SPELL binder. However, while he
held the closeset attention Of his lis
teners, really when the whole thing Is
summed up, he did not say much, and
really presented no good argument
why the farmers of North Dakota
should donate Townley and his horde
of high salaried wind TANNERS over
million dollars to tell them how to
conduct their business. Just as a.
sample of how well he stuck by the
&,.,&h. ua xaoda thu afo%o,nnnf fhak
the records, and Government statistics
showed that it cost only 50 to produce
a wagon, and that when farmer sold
80 bushels Of wheat for 81 per bushel
and paid $50 for q agon,that as a
matter Of fact he got only 10 cents per
bushel for his wheat. You farmers
who believe such rot, please stand up
and be counted.

ers of $4,000.
Of that $4,000, according to the
statement Of the agreement, $4,000
is devoted to the establishment of the
store, and the balance, or $4,000, may
be used in any manner that the board
of directors of the company may de-
sire.
In its final analysis, the action of
the farmers of the Kenmare district
in signing up for $100 each gives to
signed up customers, and a surplus of
$4,000 to be used in any manner the
directors may decide.

LEAGUE MERCHANT
EXPLAINS STORES

A very good illustration of how
Townley proposes to dupe the farm
ers of the State into starting him up
with a chain of stores, and what
beautiful financial proposition it is
for Townley and his band of organic
ers is told in the following article by
George J. Smith of the Plaza Pioneer.
The editor of the Pioneer called on
the Townley store while at Minot last
week. Mr.. Townley was out, but not
any real money. He was just out of
town. The gentle clerk confided in us
a few things, as confidential, just be-
cause we were a League member and
was getting one of the same kind of
stores at Parshall. We were informed
that Townley had sold 100000 worth
Of stock to farmers and that he had
really invested about 100000 in mer-
chandise. The balance of $36,O00.0O
was in the shape of farmers notes,
bearing 8 per cent interest, which is
clean profit to the Townley gang.
At the end of 10 years, the store can
either fire the farmers out of the or
ganization and pay thm nothing or it
can dissolve without paying back a
cent of the $4O,O0O.00. This reduces
itself to this proposition, that the
farmers are paying $4,000 year in
cash and s2ss0.0O in interest, or a
total of $68sO.00 year. Besides this
the store can nip off ten per cent pro-
it on the sales made. It looks a
though that this proposition would be
fairly profitable to the Townley gang.
It would enable them to make $68,000
in ten years without figuring the ten
per cent profit on the merchandise
sold. This is fairly good, considering
that the farmer furnishes the capital
during that ten years. Do you know
.of any store carrying $4,000 stock
that has made $6s, 10000 net profit in
during that ten years. Do you know
|of any store carrying 100000 stock
that has made $68, 10000 net profit in
ten years?
Bear in mind that this certain pro.
fit of $6S, 10000 does not contain any
profit made in handling the goods, and
also bear in mind that this $68, ,000.0(
is just the profit Of one store. This
gentle clerk informed US that they hac
sold stock for thirty stores. The pro
fit on the thirty stores would be the
same as far as donation and Interest
are concerned, and if you will just
take Your pencil YOU will see that 81
