LEAGUE SPEAKERS HEARD

Nonpartisan league meetings in
North Dakota drew large audiences
during the last week Of December and
the first week of January, and a fur
ther extension of these meetings has
been decided upon to reach territory
that has not been reached in the
others. L. F. Horst and F. J. Argast,
who both speak in German and Eng,
lish, are to speak during the next
week, and longer if the demand for
additional dates continues.
A feature that proved attractive
was the 'Nonpartisan League Booster
quartet" which sang at several of the
larger meetings, some of their songs
having been composed especially for
League audiences and being set to
popular tunes. r..

Turn A New Leaf

I'm New Years message to the
people of North Dakota, Governor
Lynn J. Frazier calls upon the

all opportunities to take advantage of

New Year message is as follows:
y "The New Year of 1918 comes upon
the people at time when they are
engaged in the solution of most un-
usual and serious problems. Within
the past twelve months our beloved
Nation has taken up arms in behalf
of right and justice and against op-
preston and vassalage. Our young
men are taking their places on the
battle fields Of Europe-there to
wrest the power to despoil and en-
slave from the most autocratic despot-
ism that ever threatened the over
throw Of modern civilization, and to
place this power in the hands Of the
people to be used in uplifting oppress-
ed humanity and assuring an equality
of rights and opportunities, which is
the natural heritage of all.
ut is the duty Of those not in the
service to furnish the means to prose
cute this great world war for liberty.
am very much pleased with the loyal
spirit shown and am sure that the
people Of, North Dakota will continue
to do their part.
1T is necessary that as large an
acreage Of grain as possible be seeded
next spring in order that there may
be no break in the food supply for our
armies and navies. We can not leave
room for any possibility of a shortage
in this important factor toward our
winning the war. Let each do what
he can to increase production, and
save and conserve all food products.
s ith victory as our aim this should
not be q time for promoting selfish in
terests. Those who are fighting our
battles have no hope Of direct personal
gain. Their only thought is how best
to serve our country. This should be
the true incentive Of every loyal
American He who would pile up
huge profits wrung from the struggle
for world liberty can in no sense be
