HOME HAPPENINGS

This is the title # modest little
news letter gotten out each week by
the Congregational church and sent
to each one connected with it's Ser
vice Flag. Already there are 43 from
the church and school with the COL
ors. The first issue of the letter went
out last night to the various camps
and environments and overseas where
the boys are located. The Auxiliary
Guild have taken upon themselves the
financing of the enterprise. The min
lister of the church, Rev. Willard Cros-
by Lyon is editor in chief. There will
be volunteer assistance from week to
week. The purpose of this news let
ter will be tn keep in touch with those
who are with the service. The friends
in the church want the men with the
colors to know that the church is
back of them with time and money
and prayers. Besides sending to the
men with the service, copy of the
first edition was mailed to the rela-
tives in the city so they may know
something of what is being done. The
paper is mailed each Wednesday. All
copy should be in the hands of the
editor by Sunday night. The title
Home Happenings suggests the scope
of the paper. The folks over here
must keep the home fires burning for
the folks over there.

The wreck at Casselton q few DAYS

The wreck at Casselton few days
ago in which two boys were RESPONSE
BILE brings to mind other facts. It has
developed that other boys have been
climbing on the blind baggage and
riding on that same No. back and
forth from Fargo to jamestown and
thus putting their own lives in jeo-
pardy. What we want to get at is
this. 1t is said on very good and re-
liable authority that several Valley
City boys are doing this same thing.
It should be stopped. The wreck of
this train brings very forcibly to mind
what lucky thing it was that many
and perhaps hundreds of lives might
have been lost in that wreck, but as
luck would have it there were none.
But if some of those boys had been
on the blind baggage of that train
that night they would probably have
been killed. Don't you think it is
time for these boys to put stop to
this sort of thing and if they have
any parents they should know what
the boys are doing and put stop to
it themselves-or are the lives of their
boys of no consequence to them

TO BARNES COUNTY VOTERS

I hereby announce myself as can
didate for the Office Of sheriff, on the
Republican ticket, subject to the will
Of the voters at the primaries on June
26, 1918. I was born in Barnes coun-
ty in 1878 and have always lived in
the county. At the present time, and
during the past IS years l have been
engaged in farming on my farm in
Cuba township. Prior to that time
I was with my father, P. o. King, on
his farm six miles south of Valley
City in Marsh township.
During the eight years that H. G..
Stenshoel was sheriff, assisted him
with his work several times, especial.
ly during the fall and winter months
and l am not stranger to the duties
in the Office which I seek.
If elected I will endeavor to per
form the duties of the office properly
and enforce the laws without fear OF
favor. ~ Ss57 -

There seems to be a gravelike sill
ence regarding the presidency of our
State Normal school and the board of
regents do not say whether Mr.. Nc
Farland is to remain at the head of
the institution or whether they are
deliberately going to push him out.
The state press so far as we can find,
think that Mr.. Mcfarland should be
retained at the head of the institu-
ton and great many of the papers
say so most emphatically. They do
not believe in this wholesale kicking
out of educators without charges be-
ing brought against them for the SIM
pie purpose Of giving some politician
a fat job. Mr.. Mcfarland has done
great and good work in this institu-
ton and is entitled to a square deal
and his friends are going to try and
see that he gets it. The leaders Of
the non-patr;san league have been
setting up the cry that the old gang
have been running things in this state
and that in the future the people
themselves should have a say. TAX
ing their own word for it we believe
that the voice of the people should be
IledIu Ou CIllS HldLLeT. lnero are no
charges filed against President Nc
Farland. Therefore if the league
leaders are sincere let them order
referendum on the presidency of our
State Normal school and we will bet
a Hoover cooky to the liberty bond
purchased by Mr.. Townley in the first
or second liberty loan drives, that Mr..
Mcfarland would be elected by an
overwhelming majority to remain
right where he is. We have not said
this to Mr.. cFarland and the gentle
man does not know we have written
this editorial-but we feel that he is
not getting a square deal and there
fore we would like to have those who
want to hang his scalp on the fence
to put their cards on the table where
people can see them. What has he
done that he should be deliberately
kicked out of the presidency without
a fair and impartial hearing. If the
board wants to make a change it can
be done in a more dignifed manner
than they are trying to do it. Garry
the truth to the people and let the
PEOPLE rule.

OUR SOCIALIST POSTOFFICE

It is not generally known that the
public buildings which are largely oc-
cupied by the postoffice department
never cost that department single
penny. Up to the present time our
Uncle Samuel has invested about
$3.50, 000, 900, in public buildings.
Three-fourths of the space in these
buildings is occupied by the post
Offices. If paid for at the average
rate, they would cost the department
about nine million dollars year.
Nor is it generally known that the
salary OF the postmaster general and
all his staff, and the postoffice auditor
and all his staff, are paid by the
treasury department. And these sal
aries amount to $4,000, 900 year. In
other words, the Postoffice depart
ment gratis upon the treasury de-
partment to the tune of million dol
lars month! Those charges proper
ly belong to the Postoffice department.
Now look at these facts. From
1865 to 1913, Tie total revenue of our
postoffices amounted to SPITE, 1893 ,529,
and the total expenditures were, for
that same period, $4,055. 1O6.O45. This
shows direct loss Of $279, 276,516 for
those 48 years. If to this we add the
indirect losses, which now amount to
a million dollars a month, but which
were less some years ago, the average
loss in the socialistic operation Of our
socialistic postoffice will foot up to
more than 100000 600. or more than
an average of 100000 a year for
that period.
And Socialists, Nonpartisan Leag-
uers, public ownership advocates, all
point to our socialistic postoffice as
shining example for US to follow with
other industries!

WAR .swr. Oilers

The war swindler has made MS ap-
pearance. He has various schemes
Tor playing on the credulity of fond
parents to the end that they part with
their money for no value.
- For instance, the war department
has warned parents Of soldiers in
camp Of swindle that has been work.
ed with success, it is said, from var
ious camps. The parents receive a
telegram telling them that their son
has received a furlough, and asking
that funds be sent by telegraph, with
out Identification at the receiving end,
so that he may come at once. If the
funds are sent, anyone may collect
the money, which the soldier, who has
NO furlough, of course does not know
has been sent in his name.
A variation of this fraud is one in
which the telegram from camp, or a
city near the camp, asks that money
be sent to the soldier, care of general
delivery.
There is danger that parents and
other relatives of soldier boys, in their
anxiety to do everything possible for
their comfort and happiness, may fall
victim to the wiles of clever fakirs
who see in the war an opportunity for
the meanest form of profteering.
Another person who is abroad in
the land is the fake war book agent.
This fellow may even try to lead you
to believe, that he without saying so
directly is authorized by the United
States government to sell certain
book. and that you are one of chosen
few in the community to whom he is
permitted to sell it.-Courier-News

The ticket nominated at Minot does
not seem to meet the approval of
numerous of the kept Townley edi-
tors. We know of no ticket except
that built by Mr.. Townley himself
that would please these chaps any
way. It is not to be expected that any
ticket in opposition to the socialitstic
regime would meet with favor at the
hands of these editors. But there is
one thing certain, and that is that it
will meet with the approval of thous-
ands of independent voters in this
state who have become tired of being
bossed by a clique of socialists and
who want the state placed on foot
ing of loyalty that is 100 per cent.
The new ticket will campaign on a
basis of loyalty and it will get the
support Of all those who are in favor

Late press reports indicate that
Germany is getting ready to put up
another peace talk to the allies. The
only way Germany can talk peace is
to do it the way the United States and
her allies want it. Every time the
kaiser wants peace he wants it cut
out on his own lines. We are going

Nearly every day we pick up pa
per and read that somebody, during
an argument, has said something
against the government and the war
and has been arrested under the es-
poinage act. This may be right in
many cases, but the people Of the
United States see where a United
States senator is taking his seat daily
in the senate, who at St. Paul months
ago got up in a league convention, and
without passion and in deliberate
and set speech, said more seditious
things than any of the men we, see
arrested, and yet he is allowed to go
unmolested and occupy the greatest
position in the land, outside Of presi-
dent. Why is LaFollette allowed to
hold his job? The senate passes this
espionage act, but does not carry out
it's intent.

The leaders of the non-partisan
league say people who charge them
with disloyalty are mistaken.
Well, then, about those who sup
port them because they believe them
to be disloyal?
Have the nonpartisan league lead
ers done anything or said anything
to correct THIS mistake-if it is a
mistake? Not anything, so far as
anybody knows.
The nonpartisan league leaders say
that they are not disloyal.
How, then, do they account for the
fact that they have the support of all
the disloyal and seditious elements of
the community?
The Nonpartisan league candidates
will have the support of every dis
loyal voter in Minnesota. Without this
support, or the hope of that support
they could not become political fac
tor to be reckoned with.
If the leaders of this organization is
loyal, as it protests, how does it &C.
count for the unanimity with which
the disloyal support it?-Duluth
