w aSnlngCOn, Aug. IA great
topic in Washington is the Ma
tional Nonpartisan league, which
has campaigns on in five west
ern states. One thing that has
attracted the attention of states
men is that the war has forced
the adoption of the North Da-
kota idea on a national scale.
When the farmers league first
advocated state ownership and
operation of terminal elevators
and packing plants, and in gen.
[eral, state control and operation
|of all facilities for marketing
farm products, the proposal was
fiercely attacked as beng de-
structive of our economic sys-
tenn. Before the controversy
was threshed out, America went
into the war, and among the
first things found necessary by
both the states and the nation
was an unprecedented control Of
industry.
It is becoming more and more
evident that the western farm
ers with their proposals for state
ownership, were simply taking a
long look ahead. It is now seen
that what they planned was not
the destruction Of our indus
tries, but the saving of them
from destruction.

ANOTHER RED
CROSS DRIVE
Local Red Cross Chapter Will
Stage Another Drive in Order
to Procure Funds Necessary
For Its Needs.
SEPT. 4 IS OPENING DAY.
The Sum of $4,000 Must Be Sc
cured By Voluntary Subscrip-
tion in This County On That
: Occasion.

The Bottineau County Chapter
Of the American Red Cross will
make a drive for funds necessary
to carry on the work of the or
ganization. The board in charge
decided on Wednesday, Sept. 4th,
as the opening day of the drive.
The money to be raised will
not be sent away to be added to
the Red Cross war fund raised
some time ago. This fund is for
a different purpose. It is for
home use; that is, for the pur-
chasing of yarn and other mater
ials with which to make socks,
sweaters, bandages, etc. The
materials bought with this
money will all be worked into
useful articles by the various
units in the Bottineau County
Chapter. The amount deemed
necessary for this purpose has
been placed at $25,O0O. During
the summer it was voted to place
all funds belonging to the vari-
Gus units into the County Chap
ter fund. The units were given
credit for the amounts turned
in, amounting in all to $1,000.
This leaves the sum Of $2O,O 900
to- be raised in the coming drive.
For the purpose of making the
drive a thorough one the county
has been divided into five dis
tricts, using the same boundary
lines as the county commissioner
districts. The chairmen selected
for the five districts are as fol
lows: First district, S. M. Nichol;
second district, J. P. Holl, third
district, Otto Finstad; fourth
district, P. E. Nelson; fifth dis
trict, George. Sidener. Each dis
tlct will be sub-divided, making
a subdivision out of each town.
ship, city and village.
The voluntary subscription sys-
tenn, which worked so success
fully in the last drive in this
county, will again be adopted.
Subscriptions will be asked on a
basis of ten per cent of the last
Liberty Loan subscription. For
instance, if man subscribed
fifty dollars in the last loan drive,
he wi. be expected to subscribe
five dollars to the fund to be
raised by the Red Cross drive.

Opens Season With Victory.

P. H. S. defeated Vineland H. S. in
the opening baseball game of the ca
son on Wednesday afternoon, 1927. H.
S. outfielded and outhit the visitors,
therefore, deserved to win. Timely
hitting in the fifth and sixth innings,
aided by two miscues, enabled H. S.
to score eight uns and put the game
on ice. Hosbach, the H. S. pitcher,
settled down after the third inning,
and pitched winning ball as the game
progressed. Only one run was scored
off his delivery after the third inning.
Baker and Adams were the heavy
stick smiths for H. S., while Kimble
did the best hitting for Vineland. The
game was called at the end of the 9TH
inning on account of rain and dark
ness. The lineup:

WIN OPENING BASEBALL GAME.

The Pleasantville Regulars defeated
H. S. Friday evening of last week, 81
Sc, thereby earning the right to claim
the basketball championship of the
city. The Regulars started off with a
rush and ran up nine points before
H. S. scored their first point on a foul.
When the first half closed the Regu-
lars held a comfortable lead, 27-15.
Soon after the beginning of the Sec
ond half, H. S. cut down the lead of
the Regulars to nine points, 1920. The
Regulars regained their stride again
and with the entire quintet shooting
at the basket, H. S. was unable to
check the fast pace set by their more
experienced opponents. The Regulars
outclassed H. S. from the beginning
and deserved to win. H. S. was never
in the lead-the laurels fell to the best
team. Warren and Martin starred for
the Regulars with fifteen field goals,
while Layigna and Woodruff carried
off the honors for H. S. with twelve
field goals. The lineup:

oil the season Saturday afternoon,

the Atlantic City girls, score 42-18. 1t
was a splendidly played game of bas-

But the Atlantic City girls accepted
their defeat good naturally, one and
all emphatically declaring that they
had enjoyed playing with our girls.
However, much credit for the sue
cess of the season is due to Miss Nc
Allister, who has faithfully coached
the girls and encouraged them in spite

LETTER FROM PUBLIC LIBRARY

To Brookings County-Dear People:
You haven't heard from me for some
time and ii seems as though you are
letting me slip out Of your life just
when you need mt most for rest and
recreation. | am trying very hard to
be quiet, warm, light, and interesting
so that you may rest a minute in your
great hurry. And while we are talk
ing about it, do you realize that part
of the heavy taxes you are paying goes
to maintain me? How often do you
call up or ask for material or infor-
nation / have or can get for you? Are
you getting your share of government
bulletins sent here for distribution?
/ am hoping that some day |, Brook
ings Public Library, shall be so i'm
portant that ! may receive a war bull
letin each day. If that time ever
comes | shall be more than glad to
give it to you Owe the phone.
Isn't it about house cleaning time?
While you are scrubbing, rubbing and
shining, will you please keep in mind
library material? Sometimes you
have forgotten to return a book or a
magazine, and sometimes you have
taken them without having them
charged. The other day a school girl
came to me for material on Alaska,
and you had neglected to return the
magazine, the only source Of material
! have on new and changing subjects.
A woman wanted a particular new
book. | had bought it with your
money just a short time ago. 1t vas
gone, leaving no trace. DO you think
this is fair TO you or to me? | won
der if we can't work together to ere
ate a public spirit that will prevent
this wrong. There is nothing easier
than to become a borrower. Come
and let me explain my simple system;
at any rate please do not take away
from me my only means of being use
full. Another point about house clean
ing: Perhaps o have magazines
that you are through with. Will you
let me have them? They may mend
my broken files, or fill some other
much felt want.
You will hear from me more fire.
Quently now and maybe I'll be more in
teresting, I'll try. Remember | am
not quite happy because ! am not do
ing my utmost to serve you. Hoping
to meet you very often, ! am for rest,
quiet, n culture, most sincerely
