WELCOME. FARMER GRAIN DEALERS

The CAPITAL City tomorrow will have the honor
of welcoming scores of representative farmer
business men from all parts of the state, STOCK
holders and managers OF farmers independent
elevator companies, delegates to the seventh all,
nual convention of the North Dakota Farmers
Grain Dealers association, which opens at the
Auditorium at O'CLOCK Tuesday afternoon.
Farmers elevators have proved that the farm
er is good business man when he applies NM
self. The Farmers Grain Dealers association
has illustrated what can be accomplished by CO.
operation on the part OF large group OF such
farmer business men, The independent elevators
in North Dakota have had many difficult sltua-
lions to face, much opposition to overcome, serl-
GUS problems to solve, but they have survived,
coming through the ordeal in sound condition
They have paid their stockholders substantial
dividends and for the most part their manage
ment has been of the conservative type when
has accumulated surplus to ward against the
rainy day that is bound to come for any business.
That such a time now is at hand for the indie
pendent elevator companies of North Dakota was
asserted by w. K. Motley of Dickinson, pioneer in
the farmers elevator game, and long prominent
in the Farmers union business. Mr.. Mozley sees
in the new grain grades and the federal price
regulation of cereals opportunity for the line ele-
vator companies and the big milling concerns
to take advantage which he has found them quick
to seize in the western part of the state. He has
predicted that unless the independent elevators
find some efficient means of fighting back, there
will not be left in the state at the end OF two
years. # .a.,s,-5 r-l,5 ---- 81
The Tribune, knowing the calibre Of men back
of our farmers elevators, is confident that such
efficient means will be evolved. If the situation
is so serious as Mr. Motley has presented it-and
no doubt it is, for the Dickinson man is not an
alarmist-no doubt some program will be evolved
from this convention which will enable the indie
pendent elevators to meet the sort of competition

THE RECALL.

Some of the better class of Bismarck citizens
who signed the recall petitions are withdrawing
their names. When they signed they did not
realize the full import of recall at this time.
Many allowed their signatures to 60 on these
petitions to please some friend. To others the
situation was exaggerated facts were overdrawn
they were led to believe that the welfare of the
city of Bismarck demanded recall. Investiga-
ton has convinced them that this is not true.
They have gone into the matter thoroughly and
have satisfied themselves that to involve Bis
marck in recall election at this moment is dan
gerOus. Fl ~ $'e4~ ssf@ .3ft =
The Tribune has had no expression on this SUBJ
ject from Commissioners Thompson and Best. It
hopes, however, that they are men Of sufficient
good judgment not to lend their support to a
movement which is wholly unnecessary and I'M
called for If not absolutely unworthy. Once the
bars are let down, none can tell whittier spirit
OF retaliation and revenge may lead. Such a
spirit has no place in Bismarck at this time when
we must present united front to the enemy
to the enemy within our midst as we'll as to the
powerful, INSCRIPTIONS foe whom our boys are
facing on the west front.
Cheap, petty, small town politics cannot be
played at this time without the sacrifice of ener-
gies which should be devoted to, the one thing
that counts-the successful prosecution, of the
war. 3 ,z4fs 80 ~ E1
The Tribune feels that the charges against
the police department may well be ignored, orig
mating from the sources they have. Many self
respecting and respectable citizens have endorsed
these charges without stopping to consider or
to investigate. They are now learning the truth
andase withdrawing When all Of their names are
removed there will be left on these petitions sig
natures which will reveal much, which will afford
an interesting census Of certain kind.

tom and JERRY
Mr.. Gray Attends the West Side Red
Cross Sale and Purchases for the
Review Two Fine Birds.
WILL CROW FOR THE RED CROSS
These Two Black Langshan Roosters
Have Dedicated Their Lives
to the Red Cross.

Our farm editor attended the Red
Cross sale at West Side last Friday,
and there formed the acquaintance Of
Tom and Jerry. 1twas a case OF love
at first sight He became SO infatuat-
ed with these two portly, black gentle
men, that he decided to buy them and
bring them to the Review office. They
are members of the great Asiatic class
of chickens, which are noted for large
size, layers of those large brown eggs
and for the good quality of their meat.
Tom and Jerry are grand specimens
Of this great heavyweight family. They
have beautiful black plumage and
are as handsome as an artists model.
They were raised by Carl Petersen,
and he parted with them with tear
bedimmed eyes, for it was like losing
members of his own family. But out
of love for his country he presented
them to the Red Cross to be sold at
public sale.
Tom and Jerry were brought to the
Review Office at late hour Friday
night and placed in an adjoining room
to Mr.. Gray's Office. where he could
watch over them and give them the
care they deserve. They are quarter.
ed in steam heated and electric
lighted office room. Every morning
Mr.. Gray leads them forth for exer'
| else in the back lot and will let no
other hands caress them. He cares
for them and fondles them like a fond
mother caring for her first born.
It was Mr. Gray who gave them
their names and he says they are
named after old friends who have
passed from our midst. Absence seems
to make the heart grow fonder
They are being groomed and put
into proper condition for a journey to
our sister town of Arion and will there
! be put on sale and the money received
will be given to the Arion chapter OF
the Red Cross. There is small
string attached to both Tom and Jer'
ry. They are not to become the prop
erty Of the purchaser. to have and to
hold, but are to be passed on to the
next Crawford county Red Cross sale
and the money received from them at
each sale is to be given to the local
chapter where sale is. held.

as the continued applause Indicated.
The program as given was divided
into three parts; the first consisting
of glee club songs and solos, which
were very we'll given, the second part
was composed OF selections from the
opera "Pinafore," and was put on III
costume. Half Of the young men ap-
peared in sailor costumes and the 9TH

the cousins and the aunts" Of the
ruler of the queens navy, and were
gowned in costumes of yellow with
hats to match, and presented a most
ludicrous appearance. The part Of

well taken by dainty CD young. man

kept the audience amused throughout

ca and her friends. Ii we are opposed

less than traitors. and. if we are trait
ors, we should be shot at sun rise.
The speaker gave some first hand
information concerning the atrocities
of part of Belgium in order for
the Germans to terrorize the rest Of
the population into complete submis-
sion. His information came from a
nan who knows personally, and who
saw. with his own eyes, the terrible
brutality of the German soldiers. He
also proved the German government
was not to be trusted, for its officials
are monumental liars, they lie and
encourage their soldiers to d. viO-
ience upon every human being, who
they may consider in their way as
they cndeavor to get complete control
of the world. The kaiser claims an
alliance with God, but he knows Him
not. he is a Icing hypocrite. who will
stoop to nothing in an effort to rule
the world.
There were many other thoughts
in his speech that we might mention,
but lack of space forbids.
The sale started Immediately after
the address. There were enough
colonels for an army. There were
Coils. Teaquist, Malone. Mclaughlin
and Kruse 1t can - said to their
credit. that they pulled together, with
only one thought in mind, and that
was the success of the Red Cross sale.
Ora Malone opened the sale with a
talk On the Red Cross, and he did him
self proud. III fact. each and every
one of the auctioneers worked hard
and the success of the sale is really
due to their efforts.
At first it was announced that no
article purchased could he resold, but
later several were resold IF this had

"RAlSiNG THE WIND"

Every farmer has seen a windmill.
Millions of farmers own one or maybe
two. And every farmer knows that a
windmill can't go without wind. There
is an old fashioned expression about
raising the wind" meaning that one
is raising the money for some venture.
Uncle Sam is raising the wind at this
time for one of the biggest jobs he
ever has had on his hands. 1t is up to
all OF us to help out. The purchase of
Liberty bonds will make certain the
turning of the machinery that will de-
feat the common enemy.

and EIuster Is Past and Every
Man Must Do His Best.

BUCK GROVE-To the Editor:
What will it mean to the people of the
United States if the Germans are vic.
tOriOus in their big drive?
Answer: First, we shall be obliged
to raise and maintain an army of TO-.
100000 men. and that will call for
every able bodied man between the
ages OF Is and As. and that all our boys
will have to be in training to fill the
ranks when they get to be Of war age.
It will mean that we shall have to
build and maintain fleet Of at least
100000 airshipS to protect our 5000
miles of border and 1000 miles of sea
coast. On the south the Hun would
be as welcome, to the MeXicans. as
the flowers in the spring.
It would mean that we should re.
linquish all our insular possessions,
for we could not protect them.
1t would mean that our Industries
would stagnate, and hundreds Of thous.
ands of men be thrown out Of work.
because we should have no foreign
trade.
1t would mean that the older men,
the boys and women would have to
do the work in the fields and shops.
1t would mean soaring prices for
foodstuffs. which in turn would mean
higher wages.
1t would mean millions of idle work.
men. There would be nothing for
them to do except help keep up the
army.
1t would mean a war which would
last ten to thirty years. for the Hun
would force millions into her armies,
the British and French fleets would
be turned against us.
1t would mean a desperate problem
to get our soldier boys and Red Cross
workers back from Europe.
1t would mean rate Of taxation
that would spell poverty for all.
1t is too late to talk of what might
have been done or what we should
have done; too late to build airships,
too late to build vessels. too late to
ship food to the allies, for the big
drive is on, but it is not too late to
