We rather think Mr.. Steffin stopped
over when he wrote the above. The
Valley City shock troops-women as
well as the men-have been out and
shocked thousands of acres of grain
and done the work well, too The
fact that somebody took picture of
the bunch and had it published should
not in any way detract from the good
work done. These Valley City shock
ers have not gone out to advertise
their beauty or their forms, but have
gone out to fill place for the farmers
that they could not fill themselves on
account of the shortage of help. We
feel that not only Valley City, but
Wimbledon and other points, where
shock troops have gone out, have been
greatly benefited. We know that
Editor Steffin probably meant this
comment in fun, but there is nothing
funny about going out and shocking
grain-if he thinks there is just let

DOYLE FOR GOVERNOR OF
NORTH DAKOTA

In an effort to rid the state of the
political incubus with which it finds
itself encountered the real republicans
of North Dakota have united with the
democrats to defeat Frazier, the
Townley league candidate for COVER
nor.
The democrats nominated S. J.
Doyle, United States marshal and a
man of unquestioned loyalty and de-
votion to his country. Mr.. Doyle has
been a resident of North Dakota for
almost third Of century and for
years personally conducted and still
owns farm in Foster county. AS a
member of the legislature and the
acknowledged floor leader of the DEM
ocratic minority he has wide knowl
