bales. OF the estimated total. 1000
bales will be Pima, or Egyptian cot

and other allied bodies who are doing
war work in France that they are UNI
able to obtain a sufficient number Of

qualified by training for the position

Townley's Latest Scheme.

A press dispatch from Fargo says:
"Life memberships" costing 500
each, form the most recent method Of
raising money for the Townley league.
Life memberships" by which a
member is admitted to all the priv
leges of league membership so long as
he may live, have been on the market
for some little time. The demand for
them is not definitely known.
Also it is not known whether or not
the tflife membership" supersedes the
buyers certificate" as a means Of
raising funds for the league, but it is
likely that both means will be en-
ployed, thus making it possible to get
5000 out of each farmer-one for the
store educational and propaganda
fund.-" and the other 500 for the
league fund.
AS development of the financial
workings directed by Townley, the new
membership scheme has wonderful
possibilities. According to Townley,
there are 100000 members in North
Dakota paying dues. Forty thousand
times 500 each for buyers certifi-
Gates" means another 81 100000.
The lines, as now laid, would pro-
.duce $8,ooo,0oo for Mr.. Townley's
fund in North Dakota. This is nearly
as much as the whole state subscribed
in the last Liberty loan.
