'COMRADE" Mills NOT
ALLOWED TO SPEAK IN
A FARGO THEATRE

Fargo, N. D., Sept. 23.-Walter
Thomas Mills, the Socialist, speaking
in North Dakota under the pay of 4.
c. Townley, president Of the National
Nonpartisan league, was denied the
use Of Fargo theatre Sunday even
ing and was compelled to speak in the
open air. Governor Frazier's telegram
to local officials, advising that it had
been reported that an attempt would
be made to break up the meeting, was
responsible for the failure of Mills to
speak in the place contemplated.
The theatre manager declined to
permit the meeting on the theory that
his property was endangered.
+. The Fargo War Organization pro-
tested against the appearance of Mr..
Mills because Of his recent arrest for
violation of the espionage act.

G ST EMPTY
MEMBERS, 8 ) ASKED TO COME
ACROSS 4 rH SIG PER FOR
YEARS 19 e 20.

Minneapolis, = :. PA. c. Town
ley is beginninl ~ discount the future
in an attempt to raise funds to keep
his expensive organization going in
Minnesota, thru the campaign Of 1918.
An appeal has gone out to Minnesota
members of the League thru the Min
nesota Leader, the official organ, ask
ing them to send in their SIG now to
cover memberships for the two year
period beginning next January. Tho
paid up three and half months ahead
members are asked to pay another
membership fee now. The money evil
IDENTIFY is wanted to use in the fall
campaign. The memberships to be
paid for now are to run thru 1920, and
the league heads do not say how they
expect to finance a 1920 campaign.
Costs SIG to Get SIG.
Stories have been current that the
league treasury is low, in spite of
Townley's enormous revenue. This
is practically admitted in the leagues
appeal to it's members.
"After the. cost of publishing the
Nonpartisan Leader and the Mime
apolis Leader is taken out" the Min
nesota Leader says, "and after the
percentage of post dated checks that
members are unable to pay, is deduct
ed, if we still have to pay the salary
and expense or organizers to do the
reorganization work, hardly any mon
ey is left for campaign expenses. In
some places it takes more than SIG
to pay the actual cost of securing
members. The more members there
are who will voluntarily reorganize,
the more money will be saved for cam
paign purposes.
"If the organizers have the backing
of the $4,000 Minnesota farmers who
are already members, they will sue
ceed", says the appeal made thru the
Leader.
1; At SIG each, the $4,000 members
must have paid in 100000 into the
league treasury in two years. The
appeal does not attempt to explain
where this unprecedented campaign
fund has gone, or how it has been
spent.

WHAT SHOULD
VERDICT Be?

Thursday the local Sheriff's office
received word from the Sheriff at
Minnewaukan to arrest six I. w. WIS
who were headed for this city. on
charge of vagrancy. 1t seems that
the six men had been working on
threshing rig near Baker but getting
into wrangle with the owner of the
rig they quit him. It did not take
the authorities here very long to round
up the six men who were lodged in
the pail. Friday an assistant came
up from District Attorney Hildreth's
office at Fargo and examined the men
as to their activities during the past
year. All of them were more or less:
violating the spirit of the law gov
erning war time agitation. The one
who seemed the most deeply involved
gave his name as Jacobs, who in the
course of his examination admitted
that he was an organizer for the I. w.
w. and had secured a number of
members. He also admitted that he
was born and grew PIP in Germany
and that he was forced to leave that
country because Of his "radical ideas.
He had never became citizen and was
therefore an alien enemy He also
had not registered as an enemy alien
last spring even though he knew of
the registration. An examination of
his grip showed an abundance of liter
ature, all Of the most radical sort,
letters from Germany, and letters
from parties in Chicago written at the
time Of the I. w. w. trial in which the
writer asserted that "the trial was 60
ing in favor Of the defendants" and
also letters from a party in New York
City who has been connected with the
Easement affair in ireland. His I. w.
w. card contained $40 worth of ode
fense stamps" money for which had
been sent to headquarters to defend
,,.'ose arrested on sabotage charges,
BIZ. when asked if he had any thrift
| -,;Eips he answered "no", and a like
answer regarding = Liberty Bonds
Without a doubt he is q dangerous
man to have about. He and his com.
panions were returned to Minnewa,l'
kan wehre they will be tried on va
grancy charge, with the exception o1
Jacobs who will no doubt be internet
as an alien enemy. ro

GOVERNMENT CHECKING UP
THE THRESHING MACHINES

Messrs Hill and Russell, federal in-
speetors Of the grain threshing divis-
ion of the u. s. Federal Food admin
|istration, arrived in Langdon on Tues
day. Mr.. Russell will remain in Cav
alier county during the threshing sea-
son to check up on grain wastage in
thfeshing. ,'a4
Since arriveing here Mr.. Russell has
visited q number of threshing rigs in
the vicinity Of tangdon. Hesreports
most rigs checked up as doing splendid
work, but has already encountered
several putting wheat into the straw
to such an extent that he ordered q
shut down until such adjustments
were made as would remedy the
throw over. Mr.. Russell is equipped
with a canvas to catch all that goes
over through the blower. He makes
his tests on wheat that goes over dur.
ing the threshing of 21s bushels thru
the grain spout. This is then win
moved and weighed up. Some riga
have already been checked that were
throwing over from a pint to three
pints during five dumps Of the half
bushel.
Unlike the last gentleman who ap-
peared in .Langdon representing the
grain threshing division, Mr.. Russell
thoroughly understands his work and
can definitely instruct the Aresher-
men and give the reason for the poor
work, besides helping to make the pro-

NELSON co. THRESHERS
FAIL TO OBSERVE ORDERS

Michigan, N. D., Sept. 19.-Several
threshers in this county have not tax
en- the necessary precaution for saw
ing all the grain necessary, and as a
result considerable grain has been
lost. County Food Administrator "
erson is comforting with some of the
threshers at a meeting south Of here
tonight and it is understood that he
plainly put before them the absolute
necessity of saving every kernel.
Some of the threshers will be forced
to re-thresh some of the straw stacks,
otherwise they will be reported to the
federal food administration.
It is understood that all threshing
rig operators promised hereafter to
strictly conform with the food admin.
istration's request and that no prose.

FORT LINCOLN

OF POST.

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. ia pos
sibility of the re-opening of Fort Lin
coin as summer training camp for
troops and winter school for commits
stoned officers is seen in a visit paid to
the institution today by Major M. F.
Steel of Fargo, militory instructor at
the North Dakota Agricultural col
lege, who comes at the direction OF
the war department to estimate the
cost of rehabilitating the post.
Secretary Remission of the Bis
marck Commercial club, has had con-
siderable correspondence with the war
department relative to the advisability
of reopening Ft. Lincoln, which has
been used only as a mobilization point
for state troops since the summer Of
1914, when the battalion Of regular in
fantry which had been attached here
was called to the Mexican border.
The fort is midssn and in general
ly good condition. The plant repre-
Esents an investment Of approximately
81 ,O00, 900. The barracks, officers
quarters, gymnasium, warehouses and
other buildings have suffered little
through three years. disuse, and the
parade and drill grounds are among
the: finest to be found in any army
post in the northwest. -
Fort Lincoln is lineal descendant
of old Fort Abraham Lincoln, which
stood three miles to the west, on the
opposite bank Of the Missouri. It w.,s
there that General George A. Custer
was stationed when he embarked on
his last campaign, which resulted in
the massacre Of himself and all mel
Of. the Seventh cavalry at the hands o1
Sitting Bulls men in the battle Of Lit
tile Big Horn in 1875. There have beer
rumors at various times that the gov
ernment contemplated using this val
uabie4 property in it's war program
but the visit Of Major Stesle today il
the first positive evidence that Uncle
Sam has some definite project il
mind. "
