TOWNLEY LEAGUE
BACKS OUT FROM
MESS IN M'LEAN
Upon Orders From St. Paul,
Managers Withdraw Garri-'
son County Ticket

Washburn. n. D.. May 1.-The Non
partisan league, probably due to pres
sure from headquarters, has decided
to keep out of local politics, so far
as Mclean county is concerned. rms
means, according to reports from
Garrison, where meeting was held
last week, that the entire county tick
ct, recently promulgated in the name
of the league, will be withdrawn:
When number of Nonpartisans
gathered at Garrison few weeks ago
and drew up a county ticket there was
something of an upheaval in the Nc
Lean county political situation. There
were some features to the action also
which spelled trouble for the league.
It was claimed that the gathering was
dominated by the socialistic element
of the league and that the leading and
greater part Of the organization had
no hant in the proceedings. Evidently,
this seems correct by the later action
of the league proper in disavowing an
intention to participate in the county
fight.
The Nonpartisans who drew up the
hybrid ticket evidently overlooked a
few things. They sought to bring some
of the county political leaders to
their side by giving them endorsements
but they neglected to take into &C.
count some of the strongest men po'
litically in the county. So that beside
keeping it's word not to interfere IN
county politics, the league is consid-
cred to be doing the wise thing oy
avoiding unending complications.

present SEASON
RECALLS YEAROF
BIG CROPS IN '92

Aberdeen, S. D., May 1.-Veteran
farmers in various parts of the Da.
kotas seemingly are agreed that the
present season is similar to the spring
of l892-the year in which South Da'
kota produced the greatest crops in
it's history.
Increased acreage, generous and
well distributed moisture, scientific
methods and good luck apparently are
com bining to give the nation fine
war crop from this section of the
country.
This year, the same as in 1892, rain
set in after the wheat crop was plant
ed. A large oats crop also was plant
ed, but the barley crop has only partly
been sown. Farmers prefer to wait
until the danger from frost has passed
before putting in all of their barley
Estimates from various sources in
dicate that the increased acreage sown
to wheat in northern South Dakota is
from 10 to 90 per cent. Various cOun
ties reporting in other districts bear
out the belief that crop conditions are
about the same from Minnesota to
Montana.
A report from Mitchell, S. D.. de-
clares that the crop outlook for South
Dakota is "the best in 80 year."

CLERKS WORK TOO
HAVE ANY
TIME FOR GARDEN
Rural Salesman Tells of Some
Things Country Workers
Are Up Against

Regulations providing shorter hours
for clerks in general stores in the rural
communities of North Dakota will be
urged upon chairmen Of county de-
tense councils by the North Da
kota Council Of Defense, as a result
Of the following letter, which states
succinctly and convincingly the situa.
tion which confronts many of the
sales people in the small towns of
this state:
Gentlemen:
I have written Hon. G.. M. Young
and Prof. Ladd about working hours
for clerks, and they say to take 1t up
with you. ! am married man, with
three children, and clerk in general
store. Last year I was at -, clerk
ed at IS, and our hours were from
7 a. IN. to $50 p. .m,, and put in two
acres of potatoes and IA acre OF
beans. 1 worked it in the morning and
on Sundays. also raised ITO chick
ems. Now, these things ahead, do
to work at a. M, one hour earlier,
and we have to work till after dark.
They want to see If the farmers come
in, which is about 10 o'clock. So you
see it takes lot of time away from
us clerks. 1t is this way in most small
towns.
"In Minnesota they are making the
stores close at p. m.-why not in this
state? l could put in big garden
and so would lots Of the clerks in
North Dakota. If you will, take this
matter up and discuss it and see If
you cannot help the poor clerks to do
their share. Some of the merchants
want to close, but one will not unless
all of them do. Pass a ruling that it
be done, and I believe very few would
object to closing. Such ruling would
do as much toincrease production as
any one act you could take. OF course
we expect to work later during the
harvest season, but from now until
September 1 there really is no need
for it. and it is depriving us of an op'
portunity to do our bit by taking some
of the load from the producer"
1t is probable that the North Dakota
Council of Defense will consider this
matter at it's next meeting.

SOUTH DAKOTA'S
GOLD PRODUCTION
HASBEEN STEADY

Pierre, S. D., May 1.-Ofticial statis'
tics obtained from the state mine in.
spector indicate that the production
of gold in South Dakota for the past
five years has been almost as steady
as the value of the precious metal.
But the case of tungsten has been
different. Official figures show that
the mining OF this product has been
greatly developed. In 1913 only $4,000
worth Of the mineral was brought out
Of the earth. The latest available rec
ord shows yield of $391, 1870.
The production Of gypsum has fallen
off steadily for nearly three years.
but lithia and lead are showing an
increase.

FRENCH IMPROVE POSITION

London, Eng, May 1.-The failure
of the German attacks southwest of
Ypres on Monday with its immense
losses to the enemy is commented on
here in more hopeful and more con-
fident tone, which is in marked con.
trast of the German advance toward
channel ports.
The concensus of opinion is that
the enemy on Monday suffered the
most severe and costly repulse since
he began his offensive on March q,
and it is contended that if the terms
of victory and defeat are applicable
to single phases of such a prolonged
battle then the allies on Monday won
a very substantial victory.
