"A. c. Townley Will Put
Independent Ticket In
Field In Minnesota
League Candidates to Make Race at
the General Election
This Fall.

st. Paul. MINI. June 2s.-Accord-
Ing to the Leader, official organ Of
the Nonpartisan league. "A. G. Town
ley is determined to carry out his
plan Of attempting to put an indel
pendent nonparty ticket in the field
at the general election.
The current issue of the Leader
says:
THE leagues state convention will
be called In due time to consider
filling the vacancies on the ticket
made by. the defeat of some of the
farmer-labor candidates in the pri-
aries.
This is taken to mean by many that
a petition for an Independent ticket
will be put in circulation in \ short
time. The petition would have to
bear the signature Of 1000 voters
who did not vote at the primaries to
be effective. Politicians assert that in
view Of the heavy vote cast this will
be difficult to obtain.
St. Paul Nonpartisans refused to
say when definite arrangements will
be announced for the convention, but
they characterized the Leader as an
authentic source of information.

NORTH DAKOTA
BANDS FAMOUS
AT The FRONT
Second Regiment Band is
Presented With Honor
Diploma and 100 Francs.

Somewhere in France,

me the other day, that tho old state
regiment of troops being known by
their state regiment numbers was
necessarily abandoned for the North
Dakota boys in the 116th Engineers
band really deserve all the praise and
mention possible, and the state should
get the honor"
Eyes. the 116th Engineers band
formerly was the Second North Da-
kota regimental band" I told him.
And the First regiment band, now
the 164th infantry, is also a creditable
organization"
"well I heard the 116th Engineers
In Paris, playing side by side, OF
rather alternately with a famous
French band and they are wonderful"
had opportunity to talk with many
men who have heard the Second regi-
ment band. Praise has been profuse,
almost ecstatic. al &
The band under the leadership of
Harold Bachman. has been increased
to a membership of fifty by the addi-
ton of musicians culled from casual
companies and draft detachments ar
irving in France. A recent addition
$500 a month as pipe-organist for n
of the greatest cathedrals in the
United States.
Able to pick players of instruments
needed to round out the splendid
nucleus of 81 men originally enrolled,
Leader Bachman has a perfectly bal
anced Instrumentation which,, through
his able direction, Is winning deserved
fame.
That General Liggett knew whereof
he was talking when last October he
saved the Second regiment band from
being broken up and remarked, "that
band is worth a million dollars to the
United States army" is evidenced by
the fact that the organization sta
toned, it is believed permanently, at a
town in the central part of France, is
row being sent from one point to an
other on concert tours.
In three out of the last four weeks
the band has made trips to other
points for various events. First. to
divisional headquarters for a. track
meet. Then, on Mothers day, the
band went to Paris and played beside
the famous French band, "Guarde
Republique," who were at the St,

their work for a French graphophone
company. Many of the highest Of

ALL. MUST HELP
SAVE THECROP
Harvest of This Years Crop
Will be a Tremendous
Task, Says Bailey.

Bismarck, N. D., June 29.-"Every
citizen of the cities and villages of
the state must stand ready to close
his private occupations or pleasures
to assist in the impending harvest
with all the zeal and courage Of the
soldier" declared r. D. Bailey, fed
eral supervising farm help specialist,
who was in Bismarck this week for a
conference with local officials rela-
tive to the labor situation in North
Dakota.
Mr., Bailey has supervision of the
farm labor problem for the federal
department Of agriculture in. Michi-
gan, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and
Kansas, and he is familiar with the
situation in the southern states where
the harvest has already commenced.
"The harvesting of this years crop,
which promises to be the largest in
task" Mr.. Bailey states. Fortunately
the United States department Of labor
Is organized to direct labor more eff
fectively to its proper distribution
than ever before, and the United
States department Of agriculture has
a vast and highly organized force of
men, including a farm help specialist
for each state, county agricultural
agents for most of the counties, and
local labor agents OF community COM
mitteemen for the communities and
townships to learn the farmers needs
for farm labor.
Transient Labor Gone.
THE wheat states have heretofore
depended upon a vast army of tran
sient laborers for the harvest. With
out them the harvest could not have
been carried on" Mr.. Bailey said.
1.-THE number of outside laborers
will not be as large this year as be-
fore, for many other interests besides
harvest r calling men. If the all
necessary grain is to be harvested
there is but n solution to the labor
problem-each state must help itself
more. This can only be done by the
many classes of city and village men
helping where they have never helped
before. AS theywould not say, This
Is not my war; so they cannot say
This is not my harvest To help in
the harvest is as truly patriotic and
essential for the winning of the wal
as making other supplies for the
army.

ttously refuse to help if called upon.

tricts in Montana show hat the total

NONPARTISANS
MAY CONTROL
ALL BRANCHES
Independents and Demo
Gratis Must Elect 20 of "a
Senators Next Fall.

Bismarck, N. D., June 29.-Com-
plete control of every executive, adj
m~inistrative. judicial and legislative
branch Of the state government by
the Nonpartisan league is reflected in
practically complete returns now in
from Wednesdays primary election.
1t Is doubtful whether the Independ-
ent Voters league will, attempt to
carry the fight on the league. Even
the league, with its strong organiza-
ton, failed to elect its one candidate
on h Democratic ticket two. years
ago. and it is not probable hat the
Independent Voters association, ham
dicapped in many ways as compared
body failed. S. j. Doyle is the Demo-
cratic nominee for governor, and he
no doubt will poll many more votes
than Macarthur did two years ago, but
present prospects seem to be that
North Dakota may as we'll compose
itself for two years of actual, positive
and complete control Of state affairs
by h Nonpartisan league.
North Dakota has had a league
tatives and a league officer in every
administrative position except that Of
treasurer. The present hold-over
senate is controlled by the independ-
ent faction. which prevented the pres
ent administration from being an ex-
act demonstration Of league suprem-
acy. Beginning January /, 1919, bar
ring a rally on the part of the inde-
pendent Republicans and Democrats
which will enable them to capture the
governorship, or, what is i'm
probable, 20 Of the "a senators to be
elected next fall, North Dakota will
see a real league administration. Some
are looking forward to this time with
fear and trembling, suspicious of re-
suits. Others are looking forward to
January 1, 1919, as the dawn of the
millennium, when the farmer will
come into his own and the common
people will get what is coming to
them.
Some ReverSes.
Reports now available would indi-
cate that here and there Wednesday
the league struck a, rut. In Ward
county, for instance, a solid independ-
ent delegation was elected, with
George A. Reishus, a veteran of the
last assembly, at it's head. Anthony
Walton, one of the real league powers
in the house, is reported to have been
retired. The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
county district, which two years ago
had an independent delegation, has
nominated three Nonpartisans-
Cadell. Brasburg and Upland, and it
probably will elect them.
In the 44th district. E. H. Skies, a
hold-over senator who aligned with
the league in the last session, is re-
nominated, and with him are Walter
j. Maddox, one Of the most promis-
ing young leaguers of the last session.
and F.. j. Haines. In Mclean county,
despite early reports to the contrary,
it seems that Rep. r. l.. Fraser of
Garrison, radical Lacquer, is to be the
Republican candidate for the senate

that. If it burst he would be a ravine

Did you know that the Kaiser's left
arm IS SIX inches shorter than the
right, and that the hand is puny as a

carried it in order to disguise the de-
formity?
Did you know that the Kaiser has
q mania for admiring beautiful hands.
which greatly embarrasses the ladies

bracelets and feminine rings. copied
from those he admires? That he has
500 full-dress uniforms, that he was
twice king, twice a grand duke, 18
times a duke, twice prince, 9 times
count, besides being a bishop?
Did you know why he slaps his right

didn't. Few people outside of the i'm

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
June 18th Appointed As A National
Pledge Day.
Proclamation BY President Wilson.

This war is of nations-not armies
and all of our one hundred million
people must be economically and in
industrially adjusted to war condi-
ditions if this nation is to. play its full
part in the conflict. The problem be-
fore US is not primarily a financial
problem, but rather a problem of in
creased production Of war essentials
and the saving of the materials and
the labor necessary for the support
and equipment of our army and navy.
Thoughtless expenditure of money for
non-essentials uses up the labor of
men,the products of the farm, mines,
and factories, and overburdens trans
portation, all of which must be used
to the utmost and at their best for
war purposes.
The great results which we seek
can be-obtained only by the particapa-
ton of every member of the nation,
young and old, in national concerted
thrift movement. | therefore urge
that our people everywhere pledge
themselves, as suggested by the Secre-
rotary of the treasury, to the practice
of thrift; to serve the Government to
their utmost in increasing production
in the fields necessary to the winning
of the war; to conserve food and fuel
and useful materials of every kind;
to devote their labor only to the neces-
sary tasks land to bay only those
things Which are essential to indivi-
dual health and efficiency; and that
\ the people, as evidence of their loyal
", invest all that they can save in
Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps.
The securities issued by the Treas
ury Department are so many of them
within reach of every one that the
door of opportunity in this matter
is wide open to all of ms. To prac-
tice thrift in peace times is virtue
and brings great benefit to the indivi-
dual at all times; with the desperate
need of the civilized world today for
materials and labor with which to end
the war, the practice of individual
thrift is a patriotic duty and a
necessity.
| | appeal to all who now own either
Liberty Bonds or War Savings Stamps
to continue to practice economy and
thrift and to appeal to all who do not
own Government securities to do like
wise and purchase them to the extent
Of their means. The man who buys
Government securities transfers the pur-
chasing power of his money to the
| Unitd States Government until after
| this war, and to that same degree does
not buy in competition with
the Government.
l earnestly appeal to every man,
woman and child to pledge them
selves on or before the 28th of June
to save constantly and to buy as regu-
larly as possible the securities of the
Government; and to do this as far as
possible through membership in War
Savings Societies. The 18th of June
ends this special period of enlistment
in the great volunteer army of pro-
duction and saving here at home.
May there be none unlisted on that
day.
