suit. From the lOafers on the wharf
came shouts Of encouragement.
DO the dude up, Pedro! Give him
what's comm to him"
The trio formed for a rush. The
steward, with a shrill scream, fed to
the cabin. Pearson did not move. He
even smiled. The next moment he was
pushed to n side, and Captain Elisha
stood at the top Of the steps.
"Here!" he said sternly. whats all
this?"
The three sailors, astonished at this
unexpected addition to their enemies
forces, hesitated. Pearson laid his hand
on the captains arm.

three below. "What do you mean by

Ctr
He began descending the ladder.
Whether the sailors ere merely too
surprised to resist or because they rec
ognlzed the authority Of the deep sea
in Captain Elisha's voice and face is a
question. At any rate, as he descended
they backed away.
"Mutiny on board n ship of mine 7"
roared the captain. what do you
mean by 1t? Why, I'll have you tied up
and put on bread and water. Over the
side with you! Mutiny on board Of me |!
Lively! Tumble up there!"
With every order came n stride for
ward and u correspondingly backward
movement on the part Of the three.
The performance would have been
ridiculous if Pearson had not feared
Tint 1t might become tragic. He was
descending the steps to his new ac-
Qua~intance's aid when there arose Il
chorus Of shouts from the wharf.
"The cops, the cops! Look outw
That was the finishing touch. The
next moment the three "mutineers'
were over the side and running as fast
as their alcoholic condition would per-
NIT down the wharf.
"Well, by George" exclaimed Pear
SON..
Captain Elisha seemed to be coming
out of a dream. He stood still, drew
his hand across his forehead and then
began to laugh.
"Well!" he stammered. "Well, !

Pearson stuck his fist into the palm

Townley win Address Farmers
at Lewiston.


O. c. Townley, our National
League president. viii speak AT the
Federation Of Agriculture az Lew
iston on January 22nd.
Ray McCaig, secretary OF the
National Nom Partisan League,
who has addressed two meetings
OF farmers at Nezperce, has the
following to say of Mr.. Townley
and the Lewiston meeting
We want the farmers of this
country to see for themselves this
great man, o. c. TOwnley, the
president Of the National Nom
Partisan League. Mr.. Townley
has perhaps been maligned and
criticised more than any farmer
in America.
AS a rule, when farmers do
nothing and say little, and take
what is handed 20 them, p0liti-
clans and others pat them on the
back and assure them that they
are the bulwark of society, but
let some farmer seeede from the
existing order of conditions and
they become social disturbers.
Townley's organization clean
ed up North Dakota politics and
now threatens the very existence
of the political machines in many
of the northwestern states. The
farmers Partisan League has
waited for years to let other peo-
pie clean up politics, and now they
are going to take a hand in the
cleaning.
The Leagues policy of taking
the .'pay" out Of patriotism and
the profit" out Of profiteering,
and demanding that since we have
conscripted humanity to fight for
the war, we must eonscript excess
war profits TO pay for the war,
makes the League very unpopular
in big business financial circles
BIr T0wnley's idea is that the
farmers must have settled mar
ket for their produce, but when
farmer puts in a crop in the
springtime he must not be treat
aned with bankruptcy, Is the only
solution Of the economic ills Of to-
lay.
Townley's eloquence, his logic,
makes him a power TO be feared.
By sheer persistence, BY heart 10
heart talks 10 farmers, he succeed |
ID in building up this organiza-
ion which will not rest until the
ipeculator is driven out Of bust
ness.
He speaks before the North Ida
10 farmers at Lewiston, and the
zig crowd Of farmers will certain.
y appreciate his words. Big bus
ness says he is unpatriotic, but |
resident Wilson, at a recent con-
erence with Townley, granted
hat the claims Of the farmers are
ust. The Non-Partisan League is
light behind the carrying out Of
his war, backing up the govern
nent.
Hear Townley, the man, tell his
wn story.

VICTORY Of AMERICANS
LAUDED BY ALLIES
French and British Correspond.
ents Praise Efforts of Young
Yankee Troops.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, September 2s.-The vic
tory of the American Army in France
has evoked trii ites. not only from the
British and French correspondents
with the American Army, but from all
the English papers. The fact that
young American soldiers, pitted
against Prussian guardsmen. have
shown their mettle is not overlooked.
If the American Army needed any
proof of it's claim to rank as the
equal of the old European armies it
has now given that proof. That Mar
shall Foch delegates it to the most i'm
portant post in his latest stroke is
significant of his estimate of the
quality of the Americans. The mill
tary correspondent of the Westmin-
ster Gazette says:
The public need not be at all con-
cerned if the French advance, for the
moment. should not prove to be deep.
1t should not be assumed on that ac-
count that the attack has fallen short
of success What matters is the
American squeeze. If that gets home,
and all present appearances are IA
vorable, German opposition in the
Champaign sector will go to bits, and
the defense of the Hindenburg quad
rilateral will fall through in turn"

PIGEONS ARE GREAT AID
IN AMERICAN ADVANCE.
Supplant Wires in Carrying Com
munications From Advanced
Stations to Bases in Rear.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
NORTHWEST OF vERDUN, Friday,
September 27.-Carrier pigeons have
proved themselves Of inestimable val
ue in the present offensive by sup
planting telephone and telegraph
wires connecting the advanced posts
with the bases at the rear. The birds
have been used freely and have re-
peatedly flown from outposts to the
divisional or corps headquarters with
messages of vital Importance, such
as calls for a barrage fire. news or
unexpected difficulties or word OF an
advance.
The birds were carefully trained and
tested before the beginning of the
ocensive. They were fed especially
well at the base stations and underfed
and neglected at the front so that they
would return to the bases gladly
when released.
Part of the pigeons are from the
French army and part from the Amer
lean. Some birds were taken over by
mistake from the French and it was
believed they had had too little train
ing to permit them to travel more
than FIVE miles. They were released
from the front line with important
messages for d point twelve miles
away. Notwithstanding their youth
and inexperience, all the pigeons sue
ceeded in reaching their stations.
BY means of the pigeons generally
has come the first news of the capture
Of towns and important positions.
