Is Opposed
To Proposed Peace
Time Sedition Law

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 16:-Gover-
nor Lynn J.. Frazier has gone on rec
ord against a peace-time sedition law.
In a letter to the National Civil Lib
critics Bureau" North Dakota's chief
executive a y of. the King bill, now
before congress-: Is
Your letter to hand and contents
noted. I cannot imagine any cir
cumstances under which congress-
could pass q measure such as you en-
close, at this time. I believe there
bers in our national congress to pre-
vent the passage of anything SO alb
surd under the present circumstances.
At least, I should hope so; as 1 feel
that such a measure would be the
means Of working a great inconveni-
ence and hardship on many good citi-
Zens throughout the nation"
The measure which Governor
Frazier regards as absurd is fathered
by Senator King of Utah and favored
BY Senators Overman of North Caro-
lima and Sterling Of South Dakota. 1t
would enact into u peace-time code
some Of the restrictions placed upon
the press, unlawful assemblage and
Incorporate speech which obtained
during the war and would furnish the
department of justice an instrument
through which it could cope with
alien agitators, anarchists and 9TH
ers who would disrup4 or overthrow
bitterly opposed by Socialists general
ly, and is regarded by some of the
more conservative as a dangerous
weapon should it fall into the hands
of u~nprincipled and INSCRIPTIONS
politicians.

Hunters Say Poisoned
Bran Killed Wild Ducks

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 16.-Bran
doped with arsenic and spread in the
fields to lure hoppers to a last fatal
banquet has been gobbled up by thou
sands of ducks which would other
wise have fed on the hoppers, but
which as a result of this diet will
never feed again, report hunters from
various sections of the state. They
state that countless thousands Of wild
ducks have beep attracted to the state
by the plentitude of the hoppers,'
which is n of their favorite hors
d'oeuvre. The hunting season, they
assert, would have been the best in
the history Of North Dakota, had not
the ducks trifled with the poisoned
repast which had been spread for the
hopper hordes.

BODYBUILDING
ASSOCIATION
MOVES SLOWLY
Lack Of Lenders and Surplus
Of Borrowers flinders the
Work of New Scheme.

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 16.-The
North Dakota. Home Building assocta-
ton Is making haste slowly, according
to Robert B.. Blakemore, its manager.
One Of the principal reasons why the
association is not building any homes
at present, and will not do SO in the
Immediate future. is that it has not
the ,wherewithal. The home building
association relies upon it's members
for funds, and its membership, just
now, is decidedly limited. To correct
this condition agents or organizers are
to be placed in the field. 1t yill be
their duty to organize local kome-
buying leagues, through which there
may be accumulated the money which
the association must nave before 1t
buys a single farm or builds a solitary
home for its members.
Morc>Borrowers Than Investors
Just at present there seem to be
many more people in North Dakota
desiring to borrow from the associa.
. tion than there are investors who wish
to hand their money over to the or
ganization. Manager Blakemore
states that his mail is flooded with
requests for loans. These come prin-
cipally from people who have already
borrowed money on their homes or
farms, and who wish, to take adj
amortization plan and the advertised
lower rates Of the state association.
Eve are not competing with any
privately-owned building and loan as
ISOLATION" said Mr.. Blakemore. I'VE
r not in a position to make such
loans. Ours is purely a cooperative
organization whose only capital will
be that paid in by its. members! and
this capital can only be used as pro-
viHod nv 1Qw Tn hNv nauy hmm oa ond
new farms and to encourage home
building and the ownership of farms.
We canno help the man who has al
ready acquired q home or a farm"

off their victims and escaped. The
frightened victims returned t. their
hunks. and several hours later were
disturbed by another gang of ban
dts who vent through the same per-
formance, but were too late on the
job.
Mr.. Mcdowell told the Fargo po-
lice that a report had reached his
Office to the effect that a large num-
Der of Industrial Workers Of the
World are camped in 1.-The jungles"
north of Cakes, and that, it was re-
ported to him. these men had hoisted
a red flag. and under it the warning:
