HARMONY IN NORTH DAKOTA
Society Of Equity Declares for United
Action With Nonpartisan
League.

Various efforts by politicians and
enemies of the Nonpartisan league to
divide the farmers of North Dakota
have been made from time to time,
but have always met with defeat.
Members Of the discredited gang.
when they see cloud on the horizon
no larger than mans hand, welcome
it as cyclone and begin to shout
that the farmers are running to
cover.
They placed great hopes on the So
ciety Of Equity, through which they
expected by means of one or two dis
gruntled members to at least make 4
showing that would appear to be
serious division of the farmers. But
their plans miscarried and their ex.
pectations failed when the report OF
the resolution committee of the state
Equity convention at Valley City was
adopted unanimously.
Their resolution as to the Nonpar-
tisan league was rebuke to those
farmers who had given their aid to
the enemy and was notice served
on the business interests that their
underground methods Of fighting the
league would fail. The resolution
reads:
Whereas, it has come to our atter-
tion that certain individuals. newspa-
pcrs and corporations, through insin.
uation, misinformation and other
wise. are trying to create dissensicn
between members of the Society Of
Equity and the Farmers Nonpartisan
league. now, therefore. be it
Resolved, that we condemn any
such action. We believe that there
should be no strife or competition
among farmers organizations that
are operating in the interests of the
producers and consumers. to the end
that they may be brought closer to-
gether for the exchange of their
products. A farmers Nonpartisan
league is absolutely essential to en-
able the farmers to operate in the po-
litical field. while the Society of Eq-
ui:y, together with its affiliated bust
ness organizations are carrying into
practice the principles of co-opera-
ticn. Both are essential, only both
are deserving of the support Of every
one There should be no strife or
composition between these two great
organizations.

It Was Good, Clean Fighting. Nobody
Fired Shot.
There was a Canadian Scot in our
crowd who said that the only word
which described the situation was
tg-r-r-r-a-nd"
There was good deal of jealousy at
that time between the Canadians and
the Australians. Each had the same
force in the field-four divisions.
Either force was bigger than any other
army composed exclusively of volun-
teers ever before assembled. While I
belong to the Canadian army and be-
lieve the Canadian overseas forces the
finest troops ever led to war, I must
say that l have never seen body of
men so magnificent in average phys
suue as the Australians. And some of
them were even above the high aver
age. The man that punched me in the
eye in an "estamina" in Poperinghe
made up entirely in his own person for
the absence of Les Darcy from the
Australian ranks. don't know just
how the fight started between the Aus
tralians and us in Poperinghe, but l
know that it took three regiments of
imperial troops to stop it. The most

We're holding front positions at terri
BILE cost. In the first part of October,
1916, we "went in" opposite the IA
nous Regina trench. The battle-ground
was just miles and miles of debris
and shell holes. Before we went to
our position the officers and noncOms
were taken in by scouts to get the lay
of the land. These trips were called
Cooks tours" On one of them l

It's demolition was complete. That
was an example of the condition of the
whole country over which our forces
had blasted their way for ten miles
since the previous July. There were
not even landmarks left.
The "cook's Tour"
On the night that we went in to
inspect the positions we were to hold,
our scouts, leading us through the fiat
desert of destruction, got completely
turned round and took us back through
a trench composed of shell holes con-
nected up until we ran into battalion
of another brigade. The place was
dreadful beyond words. The stencil
Of the dead was sickening. In many
places arms and legs of dead men
stuck out Of the trench walls.
We made fresh start after our
blunder, moving in single file and
keeping in touch each with the man
ahead Of him. We stumbled along in
the darkness through this awful laby-
rinth until we ran into some of our
own scouts at 2 a. nj. and found that
we were halfway across No Mans
our front line and likely to be utterly
wiped out in twenty seconds should
the Germans sight us. Fine guides we
had on this "Cook's tour" At last we
reached our proper position, and fif-
teen minutes after we got there a
whiz-bang, a low explosive murderer,
buried me completely. They had to
dig me out. A few minutes later a
high explosive shell fell in trench
section where three of our men were
stationed. All we could find after it
exploded were one arm and one leg,
which we buried. The trenches were
without trench mats, and the mud was
from six inches to three feet deep all
through them. There were no dug
outs, only merely miserable "funk
holes," dug where it was possible to
dig them without uncovering dead
men. We remained in this position
four days, from the 18th to the 21st
of October, 1916
There were reasons, of course, for
the difference between conditions in
Belgium and on the Somme. On the
Somme we were constantly preparing
for new advance, and we were only
temporarily established on ground
which we had but recently taken after
long drumming with big guns. The
trenches were merely shell holes con-
nected by bitches. Our old and ubiqui-
