CROP PROSPECTS ARE
MOST EXCELLENT MERE

A trip over the counties of
Richland and Sargent this spring
will convince the most skeptical
that this section of the state is
going to produce a bumper crop
this coming fall. Every farmer
in the two counties has sown ev.
cry acre possible and hundreds
OF fields of. wheat are already up.
Stock is in excellent condition.
Many of the farmers who have
finished seeding on their own
farms have made arrangements
to lease land from neighbors and
much new land is being put into
flax.

Olson Loses Bond

]. P. Olson met with a bunch
of tough luck one day last week
while making the rounds paying
some bills for the local Reserve
organization. He had a so dollar
Liberty Loan bond in his inside
coat pocket when he started out,
but in some manner it fell out of
his pocket and Mr.. Olson has not
seen it since, although he has
made diligent search and inquiry
regarding the same. Mr.. Olson
reported the number of the bond
as being 4537226, and he would
greatly appreciate its recovery.

D0YLE'S CANDIDACY ST|RS ALL
ALL STATE TO ENTHUSIASM

The announcement of u. S.
Marshal Doyle that he is a candi-
date for the nomination for gov.
ernor has aroused the interest
and enthusiasm of progressive
and patriotic people all over the
state.
For the first time in years the
people of North Dakota have an
opportunity of electing a man
who lis broad, constructive, ag-
gressive, thinker and a "doer."
The only place in the state
that resents the announcement
is the local gang and the state
capital, the sacred temples of
machine politics. They have all
had it figured out for months who
would be the next governor of
North Dakota and there was
great CONSERVATION that Mr..
Doyle had the nerve to enter the
race against the wishes of the
machine which controls.
For the past two years North
Dakota has been governed by an
administration which has not
dared to move until it had the
sanction of the big Five" inter.
ests that dominate the state.
Now the voters have an oppor.
tunity Of putting a man at the
head of the commonwealth who
will look at things from their
standpoint, who has been tried in
an official position and who has
always registered 100 per cent.
Doyle clubs should be organ.
lied in every town in North Da-
kota Immediately, even if there
are only two members, and the
fight should be carried to a finish.
! The big Five" believes that is
can force its will upon the people
of North Dakota again this year
without any trouble, but if the
voters are thoroughly aroused to
the seriousness Of the situation
the machine will get the same
dose it always gets when the
people are aroused.
His name is known all over the
country in places where it would
be impossible to find anyone who
would know the name of the gov
ernor of North Dakota. He has a
breadth of vision that enables
him to distinguish between the
machine politics and broad, con-
structive work, and in these
times when the president of the
United States is looking to the
governors of the states for efici-
ent and sufficient support, he
looks like The ideal man for the
place.
In the years he has been u. S.
Marshal, politicians who were
jealous of the record he was
making have attacked him from
time to time, but he has emerged
from these assaults stronger than
ever with the people.
| When it comes to showdown
the people of North Dakota Car
usually be depended upon to dc
the right thing, and Mr.. Doyle
will not suffer at their hands, ev
en- though the Townley machine
is against him.

IT'S TOO IMPORTANT-DON'T
WAIT TILL AFTER CHRISTMAS

Our students are with US from
many different states and the major
ity of them do not go home for the
holidays owing to the great distance,
therefore we teach right through the
holidays. The sooner you enter, the
sooner you will be holding good po-
sition. Our school is like big bank
or mercantile establishment, it runs
throughout the year, we are always
we'll organized and receiving new
business every day. Every student
gets individual instruction; he is not
held back by slow students, or crowd
ed too fast by bright ones; he goes
just as fast as his ability will permit.
Should he happen to be slow or back
ward in his work, he is not embar
raised by others knowing how he is
getting along. With our methods of
individual instruction, and our own
copyrighted systems, we are demon
strating that it is useless to attend
a commercial school teaching other
systems and requiring from seven to
ten months to finish the course, when
they can finish with us in half that
time at half the cost, be more effic-
lent and get better position, because
of their thorough and extensive train
ing. 1t is our practical methods, our
personal attention and our modern
systems that enable us to accomplish
so much in so short time.
Our literary subjects, which are
given free with our courses, are WOW
en- into the main courses in such a
practical way that they are mastered
in half the time required by the old
methods, and are thoroughly under
stood from practical application. We
guarantee a better course in less time,
at less expense, and better posi-
ton than any other school, and it is
evident that we have been securing
these results or we could not have
built up an annual enrolment of more

100000 FUND
RAISED TO STOP
MUNITI0N WORK
German Propagandists Had a
Plan to Prevent Allies From
Getting Supplies Rumley's
Part Revealed.

Washington, Dec. 31.-Organiza-
ton in 1915 of a 100000 advertising
campaign, by which it was hoped to
stop the manufacture in the United
States of munitions for the allies was
admitted by Louis N. Hammerling
president of the American Association
of foreign language newspapers, in
testifying today before the Senate
committee investigating activities of
brewers and German propagandists.
Edward A. Rumley, recent owner of
the New York Evening Mail, and Dr.
Heinerich F. Albert, German propa-
gandist, We're connected with the cam
paign by the witness, who declared
that the money for the insertion of
the advertising in practically all of
the GIG newspapers of the association,
of which he is president, was contrib
uted largely by Rumley. He said his
dealings with Albert consisted in the
collection through the German propa-
eandist of portion of the 100000
which Rumley contributed.
Hammerling denied upon question
ing any connection or acquaintance
ship with former German Ambassa-
dor Bernstorff and sought to justify
his part in the advertising campaign
with the statement that he believed
the munitions being manufactured in
this country were being shipped to
Germany Hammerling admitted he
knew the German ports in 1915 were
closed, but asserted that knowledge
had nothing to do with his belief that
munitions were being shipped from
this country to Germany. Another
thing that impelled him to take part
in the plan, he said, was his desire to
contribute toward reducing the car
mage of war through stopping the pro
duction of war materials.
