new SCHOOL HOUSE
T0BE OPENED

Greenland township will open up for
school purpose on October 7, next
Monday one of the finest consolidated
schools in Barnes county and one Of
the best country schools in the state.
Greenland township has a lot Of pro-
gressive people and the new school
building is located in District At. It's
cost was approximately $4,000 with
the equipment, and is a four room
building-class rooms-and is modern
in every respect. 1t contains a full
basement, inside toilets, domestic SCI
ence and manual training depart
ment and nice auditorium. This is
one of the consolidated schools Of
Barnes county brought about under
the SUPPLEMENTARY of Miss Minnie
Nelson, the present incumbent of this
Office, and who is candidate for the
state SUPPLEMENTARY. Miss Nelson
has seen many such schools built in
this county under her official incum-
bency and whether she has sheep
skin or not, her work is practical,
gained from years of experience and
teaching, and when it comes down to
the real work of running the public
schools she is competent in every way.
Miss Nelson is just as much and
more so interested in the rural schools
of the state than her opposing candi-
date or anybody else, and should she
be chosen by the people in November
she will not only qualify with the
proper credentials and certificates,
but she will handle the job in good
shape. based on years Of teaching and
experience.

SERVICE FLAG
AT CITY HALL

On the flag staff at the city hall is
a service flag blowing to the winds.
1t may not mean very much to some
people but to the people at large it
not only has big meaning but it is
an emblem of work we'll done and
money cheerfully spent or rather
loaned to the government. It is the
flag presented by Local Chairman
John Tracy to the city last spring to
this particular district for going over
the top in the Third Liberty Loan. It
will be kept flying from the masthead
from now until the Fourth Liberty
Loan is over and we have gone over
the top and another service flag will
take its place, then it will be unfurled
and the new one will be proudly haul
ed to the top of the standard to pro-
claim another drive we'll done. These
service flags will be taken care of each
time and put away as mementoes of
these great drives and when the war
is over and victory is ours, we can
tell Of the great work done in financ-
ing the best government on earth in
one OF the most stupendous and just
wars in the worlds history. Ameri-
can history should be great reading
for the coming generations when the
rest OF us who have been taking a part
IN the great worlds work shall have
passed along to that unknown world.

DEFENSIVE BODY
TO SCAN WORK

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 27.-The
War Industries Board has asked the
North Dakota Council of Defense
to act as its representative in pass
ing upon proposed construction in
order that all building which is not
absolutely necessary may be stopped
Tor the duration of the war. This is
a part of new plan of the War In
dustries Board by which permits will
be required for construction projects
and the War Industries Board has
asked the State Councils of Defense
to pass upon and issue permits for
necessary construction.
The conservation of labor. MATER
lals and capital for purposes is given
as the reason for this action by the
War Industries Board.
The following procedure will be
followed in obtaining permit to
build under the new order:
l.. The person interested in a
construction project will apply, with
full statement Of the facts under
oath, to the nearest local repre-
sentative of the North Dakota Coun-
Gil of Defense.
z. The local representative of the
Council of Defense will then investi-
gate the necessity of the proposed
construction and transmit its rec
ommendation with a summary of
the facts of the North Dakota Coun-
Gil Of Defense.
3: The North Dakota Council of
De1ense, or It's appropriate commit
tee, will review the case in detail
and will report it's decision in the
matter to the War Industries Board.
The ability of the War Industries
Board to enforce this whole plan
rests upon the fact that it control
priorities and has also secured from
the manufacturers of building mater
!als a pledge not to supply mater
lals Tor projects which are not au
thorized under the regulations of
the War Industries Board.
The North Dakota Council of De-
tense has for some time past been
passing on priorities for the War
Industries Board of certain mater
!als which are absolutely essential
IN the prosecution Of the war. It
has been impossible for repair COM
panies to obtain shipments Of oxygen
for repairing farm machinery with
out a permit from the Council of
materials such as construction steel,
etc.
The executive committee of the
North Dakota Council of Defense,
which meets every two weeks. will
pass upon applications for permits
Tor building projects, according to
John 3. Brown, executive secretary
OF the Council of Defense. Mr..
Brown, states that the North Da-
kota Council of Defense will dill
gently enforce the recent order of the
War Industries Board.

cial tonight in the parlors Of the Ep-

Of it because he is less able to stand
the racket. The rich man can give a

he gets his monthly bills, but he can
still eat what he wants because he can
afford to pay for them. This profiteer-
ing business seems to thrive on in
vestigation and regulation which
don't regulate. Anyway, let's cheer
up. The worst is yet to come. In
any event there is one thing we can
do and that is buy bonds so that we
can end this war and then maybe we
can do something toward relieving the
situation. We must win the war, and
in order to win, we must furnish the
government the money. Step up lively
in front, and give the fellow behind

HISTORICAL SOCIETY
CETSL0AN POSTERS

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. %. - Or.
Melvin R. Gilmore, curator OF the
State Historical society Of North Da-
kota has just received from the "Ban-
ca dItalia" Bank of Italy, at Rome,
a large consi gnment of wall posters,
placards, pamphlets, circulars, post
cards, and other forms of publicity
for the Italian National Loan for the
war. These posters are done in the
artistic manner characteristic of Italy.
They are fine in color and drawing
and show power and resolution OF
minds as we'll as beauty. They make
a very valuable addition to the already
large and comprehensive collection
which the cuartor has been building
up for the state. This collection will
be of immense historic value in the
years to come, as it will show not only
the military activities of our own
country and that Of our allies in this
tremendous struggle for freedom, but
also the humanitarian, civic, indus
trial, financial, and educational activ-
tiles of the nations at the same time.
In this matter North Dakota has
got the jump on her neighborlng
states, for her collection was started
at the beginning and has kept up with
the progress of the war, while the
other states are only now beginning
or have not even yet begun.
Another unique and very interesting
series of war posters which the cura-
tor has acquired is that of the re-
cruitment of the Czecho- Slovak army.
This series is of special interest be-
cause of the epic story of their &C
Invites of the Czecho- Slovak army in
the reformation Of Russia and the con-
sequent recognition of the Czecho-
Slovak nation by the governments Of
the United States and Of our allies.
This army is fighting under their
ancient free flag, and that is repre-
scented on the posters used for re-
cruitment of their army in America.

their whole-hearted aid in the inspir-
ing task of reconstructing common
wealth where special privileges will

republican party as it is now consti-

on the democratic ticket, has issued
a challenge to Governor Frazier for a
joint debate on the political issues of
the hour in which he wants the COVER
nor to discuss his administration of
affairs during his two years of stew
ardship on the public platform. So
far the governor has failed to accept
or reply to the challenge in any way.
It would be mighty interesting for
these two gentlemen to get on a pub
lie platform and discuss the issues be-
fore the people. Gov Frazier claims
to have done good work during his
term of office and if this is so he
should not object to meeting his op-
ponent in public debate. On the other
hand Mr.. Doyle claims that the pres
ent administration has been exceed
ingly extravagant and is willing to

One of the greatest political fights
in history is on in the United States
Senate this week-that is one of i'm
portance more to the women of the
country than to anyone else-it is the
woman suffrage amendment that has
been in the upper house of the ma
tional congress for a long time and
for which the women of the country
have been making most remarkable
fight to get the amendment through
congress giving the right Of suffrage.
The coming congressional and sena-
torial elections have been playing
very important hand in the matter,
and it is only through the threats of
women have right to vote and work
against the democratic senators and
congressman if the measure did not
soon come to vote. The democratic
majority in the senate has been trying
to stand off this question until after
election but the pressure is getting
too great and now the democratic ma
jority has decided to bring the mat
ter to vote on Saturday Of this week.
The vote is so close in the senate, the
women up to yesterday being two
short of a two-thirds majority neces-
sary to pass, so that every nerve will
be strained to get enough of the SEN
ators present Saturday to pass the
measure. The house will pass the
amendment without doubt-in fact it
has already passed it. The vote next
Saturday if it is taken will be watch
ed with. considerable tnterest all over

On September II Senator Pomerene
presented to the senate a resolution
asking for authority to investigate
the recent senatorial primary in
Michigan. It was so worded as to
give the committee on privileges and
elections authority to investigate pri-
maries in other states where charges
of gross expenditures of money had
been made, but Michigan was the only
state specified. Introduction of the
resolution was unexpected by senator's
but Senator Townsend, of Michigan,
criticized the action of Senator POM
creme as an effort to aid Mr.. Ford, the
presidents candidate, and to injure
Mr.. Newberry at the coming election.
Senator Townsend charged that the
resolution was but supplementary
effort to promote the presidents
scheme to elect Mr.. Ford. He called
attention to the fact that there was
no law under which the senate could
investigate a candidate for senator,
but that it had power to investigate
the qualifications of a man or his
title to seat in the senate after he
had received his certificate of cleo
ton and had presented himself or his
credentials to the senate. Any in
vestigation in advance of election
could have but one object in view and
that political. 1t would be done to in
jure the man attacked and to benefit
his opponent. All the acts complain
ed of by Senator Pomerene had been
known to Michigan voters in the pri-
maries, in fact they were the issues in
the campaign, and those voters have
decided overwhelmingly that Mr. New
berry was their choice of the candi-
dates considered. 1t was the demo-
cratic scheme to nominate Mr.. Ford on
both tickets, but it failed. Now in
furtherance of these efforts to control
the senatorship in Michigan this in
vestigation was proposed at the begin
ming of the campaign for election. In
the controversy on the senate floor,
Senator Townsend showed that during
the primary campaign it was stated
that Mr.. Ford had contracts with the
government on the cost-plus contract
system which would net him without
the risk of losing one cent many mil
lion of dollars, and that upon such
facts being disclosed Mr.. Ford had
been quoted as saying that he would
give his profit back to the govern
ment. Was this offer made for the
purpose of influencing votes. If so, is
it less reprehensible than spending
much money in advertising an indi-
vidual's candidacy in the newspapers |?
The senate has very wisely tabled the
investigation until after election which
means that the matter will be in line
for a coat of white wash after that
if the democrats maintain majority
in the senate.

Republican headquarters at Fargo
are sending out the S. 0. S. sign for

claim that in order to win they must
have the cooperation of the press.
The committee says the opposition is
very active and suggests that they are
getting the largest campaign fund
from state corporations which do not
want to see our platform-we qualify
our statement as not being the
