TURN THE RASCALS OUT

editor Robert B. French, who launched The
Leader at Bowman for the farmers Of that county,
during October, severed connections with that paper
last week. Editor French is little the best edi-
orla writer this far south and has made the Leader
what it is today We are sorry that the farmers Of
Bowman county have seen fit to let Editor French
90, and it's lead pi pc cinch that the editor that
takes Frenchs place will have to travel some' in
order to keep the Leader up to it's former Standard
Later-Theres toothpick in the woodpie Ed
tor French is still on the job. '-Amidon Farmers
Press.
Thanks, Bro. Delameter But you don under
stand Pckins are getting lean in this neck o. the
woods and there are parasites that must be fed.
Such thing as brainess wonder feeding at the
county pie counter will soon be thing Of the past in
Bowman county-but still the parasites must be fed.
The sooner the farmers movement pulls these
leeches from under their skin, even tho like mud
hole bodscker that has fastened itself between the
toes Of the small boy it must be torn asunder in de-
prvng it Of it's illegitmate livelihood the better for
the advancement Of the cause. The league was or
gained for the purpose of getting away from the
leeches and parasites; to give to the producer what
he produces, free from the operations of the profess
sonal trimmer of the old school. Eternal Vigi-
lance is still the price Of Liberty" The league is
making wonderful strides toward the achievement Of
its complete program But there is new crop Of
parasites coming who have recognized in it a rich
leeuhg trough; llttle cirque WHO. nave never ndd
the least sign Of a sympathetic feeling toward the
producer who willing to grant that the
producer has right to organize if he will just hand
out the patry county office crums to these highly
cultured and most agreeable gents. But, gentle
reader, have care. You are member of the organ
izaton because Of the principle involved. Standing
solidly on that principle, we not see where a
union of working men-for such is the league-owe
anything to these habitual public teat suckers Even
tho these county office jobs trivial and do not as
rule appeal to man s sized man. STILL it would be
casting pearls before swine to hand them over to
these worthless parasites.
Pshaw! Mr.. Farmer! There's one Of them durn
things on the back of your neck now making an
effort to whisper something " for your good in your
ear Scratch him off and with bad breath blow
him into the refuse pile Of the old gang" Even
there he will not be tolerated The Farmers Lead;

BORROWS baby TO
GET SUPPLY OF Coal
GrimIy Humorous Happenings
Noted by Agents Of the Fuel
Administration.

Some of the federal fuel administra'
tons field agents while they are busy
with the serious work in their various
fields have noted some grimly humor-
GUS happenings. One field agent tells
of a Newark IN. J.) retailer who has
been supplying his regular customers
with small lots of coal and he has de-
clined all new business unless there
was sickness in the family. He was
appealed to by a prospective customer,
who demonstrated that his was case
of dire need by wheeling delicate
looking baby, accompanied by pale
wife, to the coal yard; The coal he
so earnestly sought was delivered, and
then it was discovered that the new
customer had borrowed the baby.
In the same town there was Jew
eler who took few days off from his
regular employment and got job
driving coal cart for local dealer.
His first trip out was with two tons
Of coal. This he promptly dumped
into his own cellar, and then resigned,
saying that the work was too hard
for him..
Another shrewd case came before
one Of the Pennsylvania county fuel
administrators, whose directions are
that dealers shall deliver only one ton
and half.ton lots, and no coal is to be
delivered where the prospective Gus
toner has two-weeks' supply. It
was discovered that one man had two
cellars, connected by a long tunnel.
He was ordering half-tons and carry
ing the coal from one cellar to the
other. By the time his scheme was
unearthed he had accumulated four
tons, but he was still out for more
coal. The dealer he applied to sent
him to the fuel administrator, where
ne made affidavit that he had no coal
at all. The next step was an indict-
ment for perjury, the case being
booked for the next court. In addi-
ton, the offender was made to take
his little bucket and carry three and
half tons Of his ill-gotten coal to
the sidewalk and thence load it onto
a coal cart.

TOO MUCH COVERING UP

Reading Secretary Bakers statement before the
senate committee. one has to wonder why it was
not made some time ago, why it took scandalous
charges to bring it out.
The people will eat corn, 60 without meat and
sugar and furnish the men and the money. They
are entitled in return, to information Our war
management has concealed from the American peo-
pie much information that it has not been possible
to conceal from Germany. It has been so afraid Of
furnishing aid and comfort, in the way Of informa-
ton to Germany that it has denied desirable aid and
comfort to America

NOW. ISN'T IT so?

When you analyze the recent Hoover order, you
find much that means discipline rather than change
from custom. For instance, one meatess meal every
day. .... 49,.
Ism t it fact that very few families have meat
on their menu three times day? Certainly the nil
lions in agricultural pursuits do not Certainly the
very poor do not because they cannot afford it. Meat
three times day is largely confined to regular pa,
irons Of restaurants and hotels and, reay they are
a small proportion Of the total Of population.
Then we are to have two porkless days each week,
leaving five days on which consume pork
with clear conscience. Anyone who must have
pork more than five times week never In
tended for this intelligent age. Nor does the order
for two porkless days demand much change in gen
eral custom
Actually is only that part of the order applying
to whealessness that smacks Of revolution and our
brains tell us that there lot Of first class sub
stitutes for wheat.

WOULDN'T IT JAR YOU?

We may have to adopt coal card system, as in
timated in Washington dispatches, but It's likely
that the proposition for basis of one ton per year
per room will kick the bucket early.
On such basis two consumers with nine rooms
would get nine tons and nine persons with one room
would get one ton per year The fuel official who
thought out that basis ought to throw up his federal
job and run for constable or something.

DIVIDED, WE DON'T GET THERE

Upon request Of the L. S. Fuel administrator,
the u S. director Of railroads did and so, respect
ing the moving Of for coal, says the T. S. fuel
administrator reporting operations that first day of
the coalless order.
It is beautiful object lesson on the mix-up and
perncious functioning Of war management, at Wash
ington. Fact is, not Garfield but McAdoo should be
the goat in respect Of this coalless order which
some folks find obnoxious. Coal operators llnani
mously declare that they furnish coal if given
the cars and McAdoo has been r1lnng all the cars
OF the country for month past.
Suppose, for instance, that Secretary Of War Baker
is all ready to move troops to Europe. He has to
depend on Garfield to produce the fuel and on Nc
Adoo to deliver it, He also has to depend couple
of boards and their heads for the necessary ships
Patriotic cooperation solves the difficulty, you
think. Not long ago, we had family fight between
two Of the biggest men in the management over
ships, and ships are the very beginnings Of every
thing that Secretary Baker undertakes to do in
Europe.
There ought to be quick cure for this condition.

Arrest The L0aferS.

There is crying demand for food pro.
ducts. employers are pleading for
laboIing men TO help them do the work
that is essential in winning the war.
Uncle Sam has room for thousands of
soldiers in his ranks Of fighting men,
Yet there are hundreds of thousands Of
able.bodied young men in the United
States who are doing nothing.
Many of these are in the draft age,
their numbers having been among the
last to be drawn, and some of them
having failed to pass the examination,
due to minor physical disabilities, while
there are others who are a year or so
under the draft age and some year or
more above it. Not one of these could
plead a reasonable excuse for his idle
ness. Why Sre they permitted to loaf
when other and better men are working
and fighting freedoms battles?
Let us have a general roundup Of
all such loaferS and let us put them to
useful tasks and make them work or
