After Machinery.

The week beginning March 4 has
been designated by the government
as Repair week..
1t is meant particularly to apply to

the ground, and for planting seed.
Owing to the tremendous demand
by the government for steel, lumber
and other materials needed in the
war, manufacturers of farm imple-
ments and farm machinery are like
ly to be unable to get all the mate-
rails they will require. and it is to
relieve them. and to help the farm
that the way to conserve and help
their government is to have repairs
made to their partly worn imple-
ments and machinery instead of
rushing to town and trying to buy
a new pillow or drill.
There will be a limit to the amount
of new farm machinery that can be
manufactured. IN it is to your in
%terest, Mr.. Farmer, to take advan-
tage of Repair week to, look over all
OF your machinery, your harness and
wagons. Get in. your order. for, re-
pairs at once, then you won't be de-
layed in your seeding and planting.
There is little question but that
half the farm machinery thrown on
the dump heap can be repaired. 1t
may come to the Ease where you will
simply have to make it do another
season.

was Gen. H. H. Sibley, who was given
command in Minnesota following the
New Ulm massacre of 1862. He chased
the Sioux into Dakota territory and
west of the Missouri river. One of his
most famous battles was fought nea
the site of the present city of Bis
marck. A tablet and monument a

scene Of another sanguinary stand of

inventor of the we'll known conical
army tent, for which he used a Sioux

Frederick Sibley was a kinsman of the
old Mi%nnesotan, and where the former
won his fame as an Indian fighter,
ascribed to him in press dispatches, is
not known locally.

River Aviator
Meets With Accident

Park River. N. D., Feb. 23.-Word
has been received from the aviation
camp at Wichita Falls. Texas, giving
an account OF m accident in which
Lester MullineauX, of this city,
~miraculously escaped with his life in
a fall from a height of 1900 feet.
Lester was making a spiral and struck
an air pocket which caused the tail OF
the airplane to spin around with the
motor acting as a pivot. When Lester
found what he was up against he
pointed the machine downward to
straighten it, but the height was not
sufficient for righting it properly be-
fore landing. Park River friends will
regret to learn of Testers mishap, but
certainly feel pleased rel his for
tunate escape from instant death or
more serious injury.

NOT TO
INTERFERE IN
LOCAL POLITICS
Policy Of League is Not to
Bother With Local or
County Officers.

In view of the action of the Grand
Forks county league forces and also
at two other points in the state, where
a county ticket has been named by
the league members, the following edi-
torial from the North Dakota Leader,
the official organ of the league, should
be of considerable interest:
1T is. a definite policy of the Nom
partisan. league, established by a
resolution adopted at it's last state
convention, not to interfere in local,
county or municipal politics. The
reason is plain: The league came
into being to destroy large political
n economic evils. evils that are en-
trenched in laws that are made by
state and national governments.
Therefore, as an organization and as
a political movement, it is not con-
cerned with local politics. In fact,
1t would be wasting it's strength as
an organization if it should attempt
to concern itself with them.
TT is assumed that good citizens
everywhere will look after their To-
cal political affairs, whether in city,
town or county, and see hat honest
an efficient men are elected to Of
flee. Nonpartisans are. Of course, in
%terested as individuals, but the Non
partisan league, whose work is cut
out for it in the various states and in
the nation itself, should not be made
an issue in local political contests.
League members are, therefore,
urged not to make use of the league
organization or name, or to employ
their own influence as league mem
bers,e in local or county political mat
tiers. q. DO not be distracted from the
leagues real purpose, the enlarge
ment of American democracy, by
small issues close at hand. Such a
course would only weaken the effec-
t%iveness of the farmers movement.
"This article is printed as a reply
to several inquiries as to what our
might be deemed advisable for league
members to take in local politics."

February rs and 81, are progressing
in fine shape. -. 81
: Mr.. Dietrich Of the Northwest sta
ton at Crookston, Mimi, will speak
on d%airying and also on hogs. w. r.
Porter's subject will be crop rotation,
and no one is better fitted to handle
that question. Mr.. Haney, Of the In
ternational Harvester company will
speak on sweet clover and alfalfa, and
may be called on to talk on most any
subject connected with farming. Mr..

not be here until Tuesday evening,
February 60.
Miss Genevieve Grover, represent
ing the United States food administra-
ton. will be with us during the entire
institute and will give a demonstration
in the assembly oom of the high
school building, at which all farmers
wives and daughters and any others
who may carr to, are invited to be
present. Miss Grover will also speak
at some of the other sessions Of the in
stitute.
AS usual the evening session on
Tuesday will be of a popular nature.
IN interesting program of music and
speaking is being arranged. The
farmers should erdeavor to have their
families present at this session and
have a good social time.
Larimore has the reputation Of
having the best institutes in the state.
The institute system was started here
and became an annual event before
they were thought of in other parts of
the state. One reason for their sue
cess in the past has been owing to the
farmers engaging freely in all dis
cussiOns and telling their experiences
for the benefit of their neighbors. It
is hoped that this institute will be one
of the old fashioned kind and that the
farmers around Larimore will fill the
hall and make it a booming success.
