Mayor Shaw OF Minot, Re
ceived Letter From the
Boys In France"

Minot, N. D., Aug. BOA letter
congratulating w. S. Shaw upon his
recollection as mayor of Minot, and
urging the defeat Of the present
leaders of the Nonpartisan league
has been received by him from 81
Minot men who are members of the
American Expeditionary forces in
France. The letter, which was writ
ten July 4, follows:
"Hon. w. s. Shaw, Minot. N. D.
Dear Sir:-The Minot members
OF the A. e. F., who are fortunate
enough to be together this Indepen-
dence day, have just learned Of your
reelection as mayor Of Minot, and
hasten to congratulate you. After
reading a few issues of The Citizen
we have awaited the glad news with
no doubt as to the outcome.
I'VE note in one Of the issues of
The Citizen that one of the members
Of the so-called Purity League have
classified us as the riff-ran Of the
city. We, who are alive and well
today, realize that such remarks
could only have been made by few
Wild placed their own political ambi-
tons above their duty to their coun-
try in this hour of need. Some of
the members of Minot'S two COM
panies have already given their lives
for the cause of liberty and justice,
and we hope that their mothers and
sisters will not grieve at the remarks
made by these 'camouflaged patri-
ots.'
I'VE predict that Minot will pilot
the state of North Dakota to its
PROPER place among the loyal states
of the union, which can only be
brought about by the defeat of the
present leaders Of the Nonpartisan
league.
Tn your administration we wish
you success. ~ " -

Lakota, N. D., Aug. 30.-Two farm
laborers who made a pretense of
shocking a 60-acre field for Henry
Simons, near Michigan, were forced
to restore to Mr.. Simons the wages

$40 to the local Red Cross.
The two men, A.. Abdalla and Frank
Much, threw the bundles together in
a pile to look like q shock. The whole
field had to be reshocked to save the
grain from rotting
The sheriff was ordered to investi-
gate, and he found conditions in the
field such that he brought the two
men before Co. Food Administrator
p. j. Iyerson, at Lakota. The men
were fined SO each. Mr.. Iverson re-
him for the wages he had given the
men. The remaining $40 was given
to the Red Cross branch at Whitman.
