Court to Examine TOwnley's Books.

Court to Examine TOwnleys OOH
Some interesting news ONE from
Fargo, North Dakota. A few days
ago Federal Judge Amidon held that
A. c. Townley, president of the Non
partisan league, would have to sub
nit to an examination Of his BOOKS
These records have been zealously
guarded and Townley and other lead
ers of the Non-partisan League nave
resisted in every possible way any OF
fetal inspection.
This ruling of the United States
court in North Dakota is likely TO re-
suit in a sensation of some dimen-
sions. Many farmers have paid money
into the Townley organization ana
many office seekers have hitched their
fortunes to Townley expecting to get
bv through influence of the farmer.
Various newspapers and other agen-
! cies contributing to the success or the
N-on-partisan League have been imam
ced.
Altogether it has been estimated
more than 5000. 900 has been collect
ed through the various Townley instl-
~tutions.
AS the IdImtI5 VIM Puh ~
money have lately discovered thaa
they had no voice in the orgaizatlon
or in that of any of it's affiliated cor
porations and that they could secure
no accounting of money, some of then
had become suspicious, (which has
been a~ccentuated by the fact thai
Townley is a bankrupt.
Trustees for the Townley pan
ruptcy proceedings asked that Town
{ ley's present financial transactions D.
examined, the idea being that Town
ley was, perhaps, the beneficiary o
the Non-partisan league and allie'
/ corporations and, to such an ex
tent he might be in position to pa.
some of his creditors.
Townley admitted he controlled al
the affairs of the Non-partisan leagu
owned it and administered its fnan
cial arrangements.
Every means possible was employ
ed by Townley to keep the fedora
courts from delving into the record
of the N~on-partisan league, but tn
Judge held the Townley account
were open to inspection.

G.. o. Martin, ranching across the
river, is putting up his third cutting
of alfalfa and the crop this favored
year will be almost equal to the sec
ond cutting. When Mr.. Martin had
his first cutting in the shock last sum-
mer a very heavy rain came along and
it seemed that the crop vas seriously
damaged. Mr.. Martin, however, got
busy with a long-handled fork made
for work and turned the shocks over
onto dry ground and let the SUI have
a whack at it for several days. Old
Sol made a good job of it, too. Last
week Mr.. Martin examined the stacks
and he reports that the hay is in first
class condition. He admits that it is
quite a bit of a job to turn over shocks
in a 40-acre field, but also admits that
it pays to do so after an unreasonable
rain.

FOOD ECON0M|z|NC
 VOT PRACT|CED AS
 GOVERNMENT HOPED
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 WASHINGTON, May 10.-Rapid re- adjustment of business and industry to meet specialized war demands and abandon activities not contributing to the war, is shown by the federal re- serve boards monthly summary of business conditions, issued today, based on reports from all federal re- serve districts.
 One report said the transition lis being accomplished with little loss of momentum and business generally may be said to be broadening and set ting on satisfactory basis"
 A note of concern is expressed, however, over the slowness of con- sumers to economize on food, clothing and other materials needed for main tenance of the army. Despite the big government requirements, demand from usual sources for goods of all kinds continues stronger than supply. and consequently the mercantile and general business situation is described as "one of intense activity with war needs receiving first consideration"
 Labor Supply Lags
 The labor supply continues much below the demand and the scarcity of workmen is now increased by farmers needs. The trend of wages is upward nearly everywhere and few labor dis turbances are reported.
 Construction work and all lines of business depending on it are suffering severely as result of governmental curtailments. Bank clearings gener- ally increasing and money rates con- tinue firm.
 Conditions noted by districts include: Kansas City-Fair, building active; crop conditions improves general busi- ness.
 Dallas-Building activity greater, crop conditions excellent, farm labor scarce, wages in all branches ad- vancing.
 San Francisco-General business satisfactory. Lumber business cur tailed by freight embargoes.

WOMEN GUARDS ON
 NEW YORK SUBWAY
(NeM York Lnurnall


 Nine women guards are at work on the Brooklyn subway. When they made their appearance for the first time a few days ago the public for whom they opened doors and called out stations was more fused by the innovation than they were. They did their work with poise and dis patch earned their twenty-two cents an hour and immediately became a New York institution.
 Their first test couldn't have been more trying. They took their posts at the start of the rush hour and stuck until it ended. The frantic thousands spilled past the uniformed figures at the door of the car so feverishly that few. of them realized until the river was being crossed that the lower part of the guards uniform was plain dark skirt.
 It takes more than that to keep a Brooklynltes face out of his after noon paper very long, however. The crowd scrutinized the apparition for moment, noted that she understood

her business, voted her all right and resumed its reading.
 The first woman guard commis- stoned was Miss Etta Fawcett. On her first trip Miss Fawcett did not once shout Watch your step" prob ably because the new subway has no gaps between platform and train wherein a traveller may be engulfed. One of Miss Fawcetts passengers asked her how she liked her job.
 'Fine." she said. permitting her dark eyes to rove neither. to right nor left.
