Rev. /. d. McBain Of Bottineau con-
Quoted services in the local church
Sunday evening. Sometime ago some

fed the people of this community to

vidual and unless he was shows he

Ed. Berg, Eidsvold townships no
ted Observation-Disclosures, he Of the
Farmers League (of Disappointed
Office Seekers) took his pen in hand
last week and proceeded to endeavor
to hand some of the N. P's. a calling
down for having sought public office
in the past. However, the disappoint-
ing feature of the former assessor
statesman's epistle was the notice
able absence Of the explanation of
why he and his "hollier than thou
