= called "Feed D" rusted, blighted, thin
shriveled wheat. Under the accurset
rule of capitalism this wheat was gra
X ded very low. Mr.. Townley told thu
Il dissatisfied farmers that they were
gulled and robbed by this classifica,
s ton. Then, or subsequently, he pro
claimed from the stump that more and
} better flour could be made from Feed
D wheat than from an equal quantity
Of AL or No. / Northern. or whatever
lis prime and best in North Dakota
: wheat.
i According to The Grand Forks Her
aid, the 1919 crop will contain more Of
the formerly despised but really adj
mirable Feed D than any other since
1915. One Of the millennium-br bringing
laws of Townleyized North Dakota di-
reefs the State Industrial Commission
to market farm products and to es-
tablish system Of warehouses, ele-
vators, flour mills, factories, plants,
machinery and equipments. 1t IS the
duty of the Industrial Commission
and in it's power-if Mr.. Townley's
encomiums on Feed D, founded on the
statements of savant of the State
Agricultural College were justified TO
make Just as good flour out Of Feed .
as can be made out Of the supposed
best wheat. Let the miracle, if it be a
miracle, at any rate let the denlonstra-
ton be made, say much Of the farmers
as are perverse enough to believe
neither in Mr.. Townley nor in Feed D..
Now is the time to vindicate State So
Ecialism. Mr.. Townley, and Feed y. IN
mere gratitude to the real cause OF the
triumph of 1915 justice should be done
to Feed D; and the State flour mills
can't grind the best -four out OF it too
soon.-New York Times.
Senator P. J. McCumber, of North
Dakota. saws that the amendments to
Tho neace treaty are "selfsh, immoral
and dishonorabie." If the senior SEN
ator from this state is quoted rignt tne
people would like little enlignten-
ment on the immoral part OF tnese
proposed amendments as we'll as tne
dishonorable part. If the amendments IS
are dishonorable then the treaty as II
stands now is decidedly un-Amerlcan.
The president tells one audience az
Kansas City that under the new pact
we shall not have to send any Amerl-
can bows overseas again, and While
he is handing the people that line OF
talk there were on the way seven
thousand soldiers to Silica. We have
ten thousand soldiers in Russia now
and the government is trying to re-
cruit fifty thousand more for service
abroad. It seems to us that the presl-
dent and our senior senator should get
together and have their stories dove
tail 50 that the people would not have
to look askance every time either one
of them makes statement. II Mr..
McCumber would pay the state visit
once in awhile and get the real sentl-
ment Of the people he would discover
that he is riding on most unpopular
hand wagon. The trouble with both
our senators and representatives IS
that the only time they ever come back
to the state which elected them to
their positions is during the time prior
to an election in which they Lnem-
selves are candidates for reelection.
They are not in touch with the state
and we doubt now if the senior sena.

Whate we want is treaty OF peace
that is distinctly American instead OF
one that is made by Great Britain.
The fact of the matter is what we
want is to declare ourselves at peace
with Germany and Austria and let the
whole caboodle of the rest of them
work out their own salvation. II we
get tied up to bunch like this treaty
IS irving to tie up to we will be IN
trouble all the time and we will also pc
the central bank for the whole world.
Yet Mr.. Wilson says if this peace.
treaty is not signed right away there
is absolutely no chance of the hlgh
cost of living coming down. What IN
all creation has this high cost OF llv-
ing got to do with the peace treaty!
What is wanted more than anything
else instead of this league of nations
to reduce the high cost of living is to
land on the heads of the profiteers IN

the government trying to bring down
the high cost of living recently when
it put a lot of food stuffs on the mar
kets. It cost more to get them under
these regulations than you could buy
them for in the local stores so that
we did not notice very material re-
duction in the high cost of living. With
England building the biggest navy
in her history at this time and with
the United States government at |

standing army of 100000 men and the
biggest warship building program in
