CONGRESSMAN HEFLIN

In response to calls from the audience Representative J. Thomas Heflin of the i Fifth Alabama congressional district
 made a short patriotic speech that de- lighted his hearers. He spoke of the closer relations between the United States and England due to this war and said both countries were determined to see it through, to fight until Americans stand with their flag unfurled by the side of the Union Jack over the ramparts of Berlin and. addressing the Earl of Dunmore, pledged America to stand by England until Belgium is restored Morris Bush, chairman of the second Red Cross drive, appealed to those pres ent to help out in the work of rasing funds, that even though it be not the last appeal for money the people must give literally to this one and to all oth- CTS.
 The Earl of Dunmore and Mai. Rev. Lachlan MacLean Watt. late chaplain in the Gordon Highlanders, will speak at the Lyric and Loew's bijou tonight.

It is essential to all classes that we see that we are fighting for our homes, our wives and our daughters and not our dollars The time comes in the life of every individual, he said, when he must do something big, and that time is now here for Americans. Men who give their lives do not give as much as the women who give their husbands. their sons, their all That is the hardest of all, but they have given without complaint.
 The only way to increase the intensity of war. he said. is to increase the ef- fcency of labor; there must be no strikes. You must preserve your boys and hearten us.
 In concluding the speaker urged his hearers to back up the Red Cross in it's drive for funds. He said this work gave England and America a great op- portunty to do great thing, to perform an obligation, and he hoped that they nrove worthy of it. (

Farmers Make Appeal
One of the striking incidents of
the closing hours of the campaign
was the issuance by group of 85
farmers in the Hatton district of an
people to oppose the Nonpartisan
candidates and Nonpartisan amend
ments Many of the farmers have
been members OF the league. "The
leaders of the league have preached
the doctrine of hatred and discomfort
which has to a large extent disturb
ed the social life and neighborly
feeling in many Of our rural comnlu-
nities," reads the appeal.
THE league is in effect a Socialist
party. The program has not been
formulated by farmers, nor have the
farmers been asked for advice in
framing It. The seven league amend
merts represent the particular brand
Of radical socialism which farmers
everywhere and at all times have
been lighting.
I'VE do not believe in Townley
and his chief lieutenants. They have
inaugurated an era of unrestricted
bossism such as has never been
eaualed in our state.
For these and other reasons we
ask our brotherfarmers to vote
against league candidates all down
the line at this election and at all
times until the farmers themselves
have secured control of their own or
ganization.

When the health office closed the
library on Oct. 8 there were about
1900 books out in the homes of pa
irons. Some Of these books were
overdue at that time. 1t is the desire
Of the library officials to get all
books returned, so the following
plan has been decided upon. All
books, those due and those overdue,
may be returned at any time during
the week of Nov. 40 free from any
fines. This means that all books
may be brought back, no matter how
long they have been out and over
due. Then to add further induce
ment, beginning Nov. II, fines will be
charged on all books, even for the
days on which the ibSary was
closed. This might be termed "bar-
gain week" at the public library.
Follow the crowds" and come ear
ly to avoid the rush..
During the weeks that the library
was closed, 200 new books were pre-
pared and placed on the shelves.
These were mostly children's books
for the first three grades. Somehow,
than those for any other. Learning
books for this age wear out quicker
to read is very fascinating, and
sometimes we are almost compelled
to think that small fingers are liza
BILE to be sticky. Will any mother or
teacher agree to this?
We have heard more. expressions of
praise and appreciation Of the public
library during the past few days
than at any other time. All privi-
leges increase in value as we are
deprived of them, and the library
would be sadly missed in Fargo.

Trickery Employed

Minot, N. D., Nov. 4-(Special)-
The following resolution was passed
BY the local typographical union,
recognized as one Of the strongest
local unions in the state. at its
! regular meeting:
'TWhereas. at the annual conven-
tion Of the North Dakota State Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor held in Fargo in
June, the federation as a body en-
dorsed the Nonpartisan league, after
listening to several addresses by
Socialist and League speakers, and,
ss'"Whereas, It is the sense Of this
union that said endorsement was Sc
cured through trickery and through
promises by the league to prominent
labor leaders to support certain la
bor men for political office, and,
( Whereas. 1t is also the sense Of
this union that organized labor
should not engage in political action
OF any kind unless the interests Of
organized labor as a whole may be
henehtted thereby, and.
~tfWhereas, It Is the belief of this
union that the Nonpartisan league is
purely a machine. controlled by the
most autoCratic power ever known in
the history Of our nation. and if its
power is not crushed 1t will be a
great detriment to our coutry, as
their program. If carried out in its
entirety, would have a tendency to
demoralize the business world and
create a greater supply Of labor than
there would be demand for same
thus putting the labor proposition
back to where it was several years
ago when there were flve men to ev-
cry position and wages were at a
minimum therefore. be it

dating the action Of that body in
