of a number of head of cattle stolen
from Bowen that had had their brand

GOVERNOR NOT TO BLAME
Bowen wrote informing LANCER of
threats against Bowen's life. It
seems that LANCER would not take
any course that might seem unfriend-
ly to the anti-League politicians in
Golden Valley county. Bowen wrote
Governor Frazier about two weeks
ago criticizing Attorney General
LANCER for his failure to act. The
Governor replied as follows:
"Your letter at hand. The
fact that the attorney generals
office is not cooperating with
this Office, makes it hard for me
to take any legal action in a case
of this kind. I expect Attorney
Lemke up from Fargo in a few
days, and will take this matter
up with him and see if something
cannot be done Independent of
the attorney generals Office"
Before action could be taken to
start this unofficial proceeding, or to
remove the states attorney of Gold

Basil M. Manly, joint chairman of
the National War Labor Board, says
in regard to study into war profits
he has just completed:
"A compilation of these figures
shows that the same eighty-two cor
porations which in the pre-war years
had net incomes of 1926 million dollars
had net incomes in 1916 amounting
to more than billion dollars, in 1917
of 975 million dollars and in 1918 of
736 million. The war profits, over
and above all taxes, of these corpor-
atoms in 1917 amounted to $50 million
dollars.

politics and affiIiation with the
Nonpartisan League farmers is
the decision of the State Fedora
ton OF Labor meeting here in it's
annual convention. Labor in the
whole state thus adopts the defin-
lite stand taken by labor In the
Twin Cities much earlier. The
great results secured by the farm
er-labor forces in their first cleo
ton attempt last fall, when their
candidate for governor ran sec.
ond with over $1,000 votes, and
the success of St. Paul labor and
Duluth labor are sending men to
congress, furnished much enthu-
iasm. The convention also has
adopted platform In harmony
with that of the organized farm
ers, with additional pIanks of
special bearing on city labor
problems.
Success In 1918.
In reviewing recent political &C
tivities by labor, Secretary George
W. Lawson said, in part:
''Labor's candidates were Endorsed
by the organized farmers of the state,
and were placed upon the ballots by
petition as the farmer-labor candE-
dates. They were not successful at
the election in winning the Offices for
which they were named, but the move
ment was great triumph neverthe-
less. The candidate for governor
polled 111,948 votes and, when we
consider that this was organized
labor's first entry into the field of
state politics; that there were many
difficulties of magnitude to obstruct
it's efforts; that the whole power Of
the state government was Invoked to
hamper and hinder it's progress, and
that flank movement of large pro-
portion was engineered actively
against us. the vote cast by our lead
ing candidate cannot but be consid-
cred as astonishingly large.

PEANUTS RECOGNIZED
 AS IMPORTANT CROP

The importanca of peanuts as a farm crop in Arkansas is rec oguized by the agricultural auth critics and the University Ex- tension Division urges an increas- ed acreage of this crop for the following easons.
 Feed is of first importance.
 Peanuts make feed for horses, mules, cattle, hogs, sheep, goats. and poultry, beside is an import ant product for human food.
 Peanuts withstand drouth.
 Peanuts make both a grain and hay crop.
 Peanuts make q money crop for market and a hay crop for home use.
 Thousands of dollars are goir g out of Arkansas this year for hay
 Good seed is most important to good yields.
 A conservative estimate oi yields: twenty to thirty bushels of nuts and half to one ton ot hay per acre.
 Cowpeas and soy bean seed are not available.
 Peanuts can be used to take the place of cowpeas and soy beans.
 Peanuts will improve soil fer ti,ity if hogged off or harvested ard fed to live stock and the manure placed back on the land. However, it will not increase soil ferti ity if both fruit and hay are sold off the place. Peanuts will make profitable rop on lands too poor for profit- able produc ion of cotton, corn, wheat Or cats.
