posal to take over all land in the
name of the state.
This plan would overthrow and de-
stroy every principle of our state and
national constitutions. and destroy
American ideas of government. 1t
is simply following IN the steps of
the Russian revolution.
The farmers have been playing with
fire and they now stand a good chance
of having their fingers badly burner.
1t is unthinkable that an American
citizen, raised in a free country, the
very backbone of which has been the
right of every man to own his own
property, should consider for second
the idea of turning this property over
to collective ownership under state
socialism and forever after being
landless tenant and rent payer.
And yet the farmers of North Da-
kota are now face to face with the
proposition which fs on a par with
Russian Bolshevism. namely the pro-
posal to have the state buy up every
acre of farm land, every piece OF
farm machinery, every head of horses
and cattle, and run the farms itself.
The league is seeking control in
this state. Do its citizens want to
face a program of this kind which
will mean the ultimate lot- of their
farms!

Socialistic Mask

The final step toward complete So
cialism has at last been taken by the
Non-Partisan league in North Dakota.
After securing control of county
central committee of Hettinger and
Adams counties, N. D.. the league
proceeded to adopt the following reso-
luton:
Whereas, it is the sense OF the
PEOPLE IN CONTROL of the present
nominees of the Republican party
that the state should own the busi-
and;
whereas, we believe in equality
and justice.
BE 1t resolved that our State
Committeeman be instructed to have
placed in the platform of the Repub-
lican party and the nominees for the
Legislature from the 49th Legislative
district be instructed to advocate the
STATE OWNERSHIP OF FARM
LANDS, HORSES, CATTLE AND MA
CHINERY, and that the same be
acquired on the basis of value for the
three years Immediately proceeding
the war
The Minot, N. D., Messenger of
August 1, says:
'It will be noted that the Nom
Partisan league is not in control of
the policies of the Republican party,
but it has no hesitation in asserting
it's control of the nominees. The
party may repudiate the wild-eyed
socialist program which the league
with the mask torn off, boldly seeks
to fasten upon helpless North Dakota,
but the league is sin control of the
present nominees of the Republican
party" has every man Jack of them
in its power and under its thumb
for brief present-so it proposes
to make its own platform of Bolshe-
vism the creed Of the Republican
party"
II the Democratic party had been
in control 1t would have dictated the
policy of the Democratic nominees,
the party being immaterial.
The point to be observed by
thoughtful citizens is this. the league
has finally shown its hand as purely
socialistic organization.
1t has taken the final step which
its program of confiscation of private
industry led up to, namely the pro-

MAN POWER FOR THE FARMS

Agriculture has contributed its due
share of man power to the army
perhaps no more, certainly no less.
Other industries that have contrib
uted man power to the army have re-
cruited man power from the farms.
Despite this distance, the farmers
this year increased their production
over last year, which was an increase
over the year before; they have work
ed more days and more hours and
have put their families at work; wo-
men have labored in the fields while
! their babies slept in the shade OF
nearby trees; many country children
have labored while many city children
have played.
The farmers can not continue to in
crease production in the volume need
| cd and at the same time send more
man power to the army and the cit!
industries. 1t would not be fair t.
reqSire it, if it were possible to ac
complish it.
The only source of labor is the use
less service of the cities-able-bodie
men employed for luxury or more
convenience and at tasks which wo
men can perform.
The crops are not all gathered
next years crops are to be consider
ed +; food production must not fail.
What are we going to do about it
Chambers of Commerce, men of af
fairs, city leaders are asked to con
fer with the State Agricultural Col
lege or write to the United States De
partment of Agriculture.
Many cities have already done thei
part. What is your city doing?

crat says: We are glad to learn that
our young friend A. C. Dunaway, for
merly of Park Lake, has been COM
missioned Captain in the u. s. Army.
He is now located at Camp Lewis,
near Vancouver. Washington. His
advancement shows what a young
man of good habits, grit and applica-
ton can do for himself. A few years
ago he enlisted as private, rose to
the rank of Corporal, served out his
term, re-enlisted, attended night
school and later took a course in an
officers training camp, came out with
Lieutenant's commission, has since
applied himself with the result men
toned above. Like all true soldiers
he has been anxious to go to France
but the Government has so far
thought he could be more useful in
training soldiers than in France. and
like the true soldier, he is doing his
duty no less faithfully than he would
do It "over there"

NO FUEL FOR COUNTRY CLUBS

During the period from December 1,
1918, to April 1, 1912, no private
country club shall burn or use as
fuel any coal, coke, natural gas, fuel
oil, or other petroleum products or
use power derived from any such fuel
for purposes of heating or cooking.
This regulation will not prevent
country clubs from using wood or
peat for heating or cooking purposes
by any country club, when the same
is available without the use of rail-
road transportation. A provision is
made in the Fuel Administration or
der which will permit private coun-
try clubs to use or burn fuel other
than wood or peat for heating or
cooking purposes upon receiving a
permit for such use from the L. S
Fuel Administration. Such may be
granted upon receipt of certificate
from the Fuel Administrator for the
State in which the country club APP
plying therefor is located, to the eff
feet that the fuel can be spared ant
that it is not against the public in
| terest to grant such permit.

SHOULD NOT DISCOURAGE
GIVING OF XMAS GIFTS
Boston Board Of Trade Questions
PrOpriety of National Defense
Councils Proposal.

The Retail Trade Board of the Bos-
ton Chamber of Commerce has ques-
toned the wisdom of the proposal of
the Council of National Defense to
conduct propaganda to discourage
the giving of merchandise as Christ
mas presents.
Several weeks ago the Council of
National Defense suggested, that as a
war economy measure, a campaign be
conducted against the usual Christ
mas custom of giving presents. The
proposal met with strong protest in
all parts of the country, and the mer-
chants are hopeful that the proposal
will be abandoned.
In letter addressed to the Council
of National Defense the Retail Trade
Board points out that during the past
few years Christmas giving has been
confined almost entirely to practical
and useful things. The stores rare
| ly, of ever, carry any merchandise
that is not carried throughout the
year. This year due to the curtailing
of production of luxuries and non-es-
sentials, there is every reason to be-
lieve that Christmas giving will be
confined more closely than ever be-
fore to useful merchandise. Under
those conditions the merchants of
Boston feel that any measure to dis
courage Christmas giving will not
bring results sufficient to compensate
the loss of business, and that the ef-
feet upon the morale of the people OF
such radical change of custom
would be injurious.

OHIO TO Be INCLUDED IN
BARGE BUILDING plan
Building viii Stimulate Bush
ness in Ohio Valley.

News was received in Cincinnati
Wednesday to the effect that the Gov
eminent has appointed Director Cen
eral Schwab of the Emergency Fleet
corporation TO build tugs and barges
for the Mississippi river and that this
water transportation system "gradu-
ally will be extended until all the
large navigable rivers and canals are
included" This is taken to mean that
Government barges and towboats will
soon be carrying freight on the Ohio
and be operating in and out of Cincin-
natl. I'VE have no doubt whatever
that the Government barges, built for
the Mississippi river will also travel
up the Ohio and that the Ohio river
cities will receive consideration when
the EXTENSION of the barge building
programme is worked out" said W. c.
Culkins, secretary of the Ohio Valley
Improvement association. "Such vast
war industries are being operated in
J the Ohio Valley that the Government
will unquestiOnably use its barges tc
| help transport this great tonnage"

DEPARTMENT SAID
To Be BLAMELESS
Department of Agriculture is Blame.
less For Bad Meats at
Camp Travis.

Washington-Th Department of
Agriculture has completed its invcsti-
CATION of teh statement made and
widely published some weeks ago that
meats and poultry unfit for food had
been sold or offered for sale for army
consumption at Camp Travis. and
finds that the Federal meat inspection
was not involved. This announcement
is made by the department, because
inquiries received indicate an impress
sion that the reports reflected on its
meat inspection service.
The published statements were
based partly on information given out
by the Federal Trade Commission, but
a letter from Commissioner Victor
Murdoch to DR.. John r. Mohler. Chief
of the Bureau of Animal Industry,
makes it clear that no blame attached
to the meat inspection Mr. Murdoch
says: "The question of meat con-
tracted for by the Army and examin-
cd by your inspector at San Antonio
is not at issue. No complaint was
heard of the meats issued by the
camp quartermaster at Camp Travis.
The meats referred to in the
complaints were offered to the
camp through channels which do not
have the bene of Federal inspection
