BIG N0N.PARTEAN
MEETING Held HERE
Many Farmers Listen to S. r. Max
we'll, League Speaker, at Court
House Tuesday.

Mr.. s. r. Maxwell. of St. Paul. adj
dressed large gathering of farmers at
the court room on Tuesday afternoon
IN the interests of the NOnpartisan
League. Mr.. Maxwell is brilliant
speaker and had no trouble whatever in
keeping the audience interested and en-
Unused. There was not the least sign
OF any unpatriOtic or seditiOus senti-
ments being expressed, but rather the
opposite.
He quoted c0piously from President
Wilson'S book. 'The New Freedom.
these extracts being used as texts for
his remarks. The burden of his argu-
ment was that the Nonpartisan League
was the instrument whereby the gov
eminent would be taken out of the
hands Of grafters and profiteers into
which it has fallen and restored to the
common people He told again and
again how the farmers in North Dakota
had ousted corrupt politicians and
elected men to Office who were honest.
and devoted to the interests of the
farmers and producing class. The
League proposed to carry on the same
fight for the people of other states, to
the end that special privilege, profiteer-
ing and graft be banished and equal
rights and justice melted out to all
citizens. The speaker impressed every
body by his earnestness and duency of
speech, but his argument would have
lost nothing in effectiveness and force
it he had omitted certain cuss words
with which he peppered his talk occa-
sionally. But no one can say that Mr..
MaXwelrs talk was disloyal. If his
address is any criterion of the kind of
Nonpartisan speeches delivered by
other speakers in other parts of the
state, there is no good reason for bar
ring them out, as has been done in
many places.

HAS YOUR BOY TAKEN
WAR INSURANCE

1t is the wish Of the government that
every man in the military and naval
service Of the United States take adj
vantage Of the admirable plan of war
risk insurance that has been adopted.
What the government would like to
see is every man insured up to the full
limit of ten thousand dollars.
Is your boy insured? If he is not,
you should have him take out insurance
at once.
The time for many of the boys ex-
pired February IL, but to give them
another chance the time has been ex-
tended to April IL.
The cost is small. Any soldier can
handle the premiums on the fulls ten
thousand. For his own sake and the
sake Of the family, every man in the
service should take advantage of this
admirable arrangement made by an en-
lightened government for the welfare
of those who are to fight for it.

LUTHERANS OF RED
RIVER DISTRICT ARRANGE
FOR PATRIOTIC MEETINGS.

At meeting Of the pastors of the
Red River District Of the Augustana
Synod Of the Swedish Lutheran Church
of America, resolution was unani-
mously and enthusiastically adopted to
arrange a series of patriotic meetings
throughout the district, for the purpose
of giving expression to the sentiment
that is genuinely and sincerely felt
among the Swedish-Americans of the
state in support Of the administration
and it's conduct Of the war against
autocracy. 1t was agreed that such
meetings should be arranged so much
the more, as it is not considered the
proper thing among Lutherans to turn
the regular Sunday services into pa
triotic meetings, not to displace the
preaching of the pure Gospel by
speeches Of other nature, no matter Of
how laudable purpose otherwise

PRESIDENT WILSON SETS
1918 WHEAT PRICES.
Will be the Same Practically as the
Prices of the 1917 Crop.

BY a Proclamation issued Feb. Dist.
President Wilson fixed the wheat
prices for the 1918 crop and the rate
will be the same practically as for the
1917 crop. The president was opposed
to any increase in price above the pres
ent figure on the ground that it would
cause the wheat of last years crop to
be withheld from the market and thus
hamper the nation and its allies in the
war, and for the further reason that
it would disarrange present wage levels
guaged by the present prices and thus
cause industrial unrest.
The price at the Minneapolis and
Duluth terminal markets will be S2.17.
at Chicago 1920. The price in Warren
will be $2.N as at present. if no change
is made i'll the freight rate to the ter
minal markets. .r
