"Know-N othings" is Right.

Every Wilson Democrat in this state will
vote for the Republican state ticket next No
vember. This is logical. They know the Non
partisan farmers are the real Wilson strength
in North Dakota.
With majorities had in the primary r.ro;nc
from $4,000 to 10000 Governor Frazier a1,d the
rest OF the republican ticket feel about as much
alarm over the combination Of sorehead rena,h-
leans and Doyle Democrats as a monerel dog
feels over q flea bite.
II IS 3 sad showing for the stalwart republi-
cans OF the state when they get reduced to be

DELINQUENTS TAKE NOTICE.

Owing to the prevailing conditions, which
have been brought about by the Great War,
the government has found it necessary to lay
a paternalistic hand on even the humble
country newspaper, as will be seen by reference
= to an article on the first page Of this issue of
The Courant. In order to conserve the print
paper supply both the exchange and the "free
list" have been interdicted, and the order has
gone forth that only the paid-in-advance sub
scriber may receive the paper after September
18th. -t. %s#,a
It will be observed that this is but one of
several v~exatious restrictions-altho the most
difficult to observe-as it must be, both in spir-
it and in letter.
In the case of The Courant this order will
work much hardship, owing to poor crops in
this part Of the state, coupled with the fact that
it has over $1,000 past due on subscription in
Bottineau county. In order to comply with this
official mandate it will be necessary for those
of our patrons who are in arrears to pay the
same before the aforementioned date and,
failing in this, after this notice, their names will
be stricken from our list and the accounts plac-
ed in the hands of an attorney for collection.
Such a procedure appears-as it undoubtedly
lS-IO Ne HdISIl, OuL liz OIuc1 VI uIc SOVCAA-
ment leaves absolutely no other course to pur-
sue, and therefore, however reluctantly, it must
be adopted.
If any of those who are owing us and are I'M
able to pay cash, but who desire to have the
paper continued to their address, will call and
make satisfactory settlement to the end that
the order of the government may be compiled
with, they should do so at once, otherwise the
above mentioned method of procedure must and
will be adopted.
