WONDERFUL MECHANISM
OF LONDON'S BIG BEN

LONDON, Aug. Is (Correspon-
pondence of Associated Press =
Fifty disabled soldiers, many of whom
had lost leg in the war and wore
an artificial one in place, climbed the
$50 steps of the house of commons
tower the other afternoon to study
the mechanism of big Ben," the
giant timepiece The soldiers are be-
ing trained by the ministry of labor
in watch and clock repairing
One, spying the clock mechanism,
exclaimed ''Is this the works? 1t
looks more like a blinking printing
machine"
A guide told the party that the
clock was designed by Lord Grim
thorp and placed in the tower in 1859.
1t has been working for so years and
is still regarded as one of the best
timekeepers in the world.
The minute hand is IA feet long
and weighs 224 pounds, the pendulum,
which requires two seconds to COM
plete each swing, weighs 700 pounds.
The bell which sounds the hours has
a diameter of feet and weighs IA
tons, the weight of the striking ham
mers being 766 pounds.
An electric motor now winds the
clock in 20 minutes. Formerly it took
two men working three afternoons
a week to complete the task.

BADLY NEEDED
BY BRITISHERS

NEW YORK, Aug. rs (Correspon-
dence of Associated Press) .-Abund-
ance of imported meat, bacon, cheese,
margarine, rice, tea, sugar, and ap-
pies is assured the people of Great
Britain the coming winter by the au-
thorities, but homegrown products
such as milk, meat, butter and dried
fruits, it is said, will be scarce and
costly.
Meanwhile the government food
control will continue in order that
rich and poor alike may share in the
available supplies. Nothing like the
hardships endured during the last
two years of the war is anticipated
because the government supervision
and distribution will not be SO rigor-
Gus as when Haig's army had its
back to the wall"
The expense of feeding and fatten-
ing cattle is the factor that will make
homegrown meat scarce. Hay and
oat crops are abnormally short, and
root yields in some parts of the coun-
try are almost failure. Cattle
cake" which will have to be used
more freely, is more expensive than
last year.
The same considerations apply to
milk. The price for August was
fixed at 68 cents per gallon to the
dairymen, and for September at Is
cents. Last winter it was 20 cents
quart, but higher prices are expected
the coming winter.
There is plenty of tea in the coun-
try, but transportation systems are SO
cut of joint, dealers say, it will cost
more to handle and distribute 1t.
Racon nrices are rising in America,
which makes the British price. Port
and dock delays, due to strikes and
the general apathy of labor, con-
tribute to higher prices.
Nobody is worrying about sugar eX-
cept as to price. The sugar commls-
sion has been very active in the gen.
eral market, and has obtained enough
to last the country until the end OF
the year at prices which, it is de-
clared, are a little below the average
of Europe, but, of course, much h1gher
than the American price. If the COM
mission had to go into the market
now it would be compelled to pay as
much for sugar as the present retail
price, and as it win likely have to do
that early next year the consumer ex-
poets to pay more.
Apples are high and scarce, the
controlled price being 10 cents a
pound. It is expected, however, that
the fine crop here in England will
serve to reduce this price materially
before the winter comes.
Bakers and the government expect
an increase in the cost of bread. There
are abundant wheat supplies in Aus
tralia and the Argentine, but the
scarcity of shipping makes immediate
delivery impossible. SO England
must depend on the United States and
Canada which, the authorities say,
means costlier loaves.

One of the rawcet stunts yet pulled
off by Gov Frazier is connected with
the removal by him of Sheriff Pierzina
and States Attorney Gallagher, of
Beach, Golden Valley county. These
gentlemen were elected by majority
vote of the voters of their county,
which majority is strongly opposed to
the Townley schemes. Townley halls
from that county, the home of his fax
deals. On trumped-up charge Fraz-
Ter temporarily removed these officials
from office. A hearing was had at
which no evidence was adduced that
would offer any excuse for the remov.
al of the elected officials. Hence, no
decision is being made in the case, and
in the meantime, the officers are de.
prived of their salaries and the right
of conducting the Offices to which the
people elected them. Hedgingg is MI
that the governors action can be
termed.

Up to date State Auditor Kozitsky
has attempted to inspect the financial
affairs of the Workmen's Compensa-
ton Board and the Bank of North
Dakota. Both institutions have re-
fused him that right, and the matter
is sleeping peacefully in the arms of
the supreme court, where no decision
in either case has been reached.
Paragraph Ia, of Article a of Sec
ton 1872, Compiled Laws of North
Dakota, reads as follows: It is the du-
ty of the state auditor: To inspect, in
his discretion, the books of any per-
son charged with the receipt, safe
keeping or disbursement Of public mon
eys.
But, then, what's little law like
that between good league friends?
Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1919-10-23

North Dakota is soon to have O
special session of tho legislature
There is no doubt of this. Gov. Fra.
zier has called a special election to
fill the place made vacant by the
death of Sen. Gibbons. This district
is thought to still have league ma
jority. Hence, this effort to streng-
then the league lineup in the senate
by one.
The league leaders are publicly ad-
hitting that the main objects of this
session are the impeachment of Olson,
Hall, LANCER and Kozitsky end the
providing of means to meet the states
running expenses.
There is no more show of the league
actually bringing impeachment pro-
ceedings to successful conclusion
against any of these state officials
than there is that SNOWFALL would
continue to keep its original shape
if spending night in Hades.
That is more than the Townley
wrecking crew can hope for.
But, they have found loop-hole.
Only a majority vote in the house is
necessary to bring impeachment pro-
ceilings. 1t is certain that the league
stifl has that safe majority vote
through the agency of such men as
Fay Harding, of Emmons. If town.
ley holds that majority vote together
on impeachment proceedings, the Of
ficers impeached are automatically re-
lieved from Office during the trial.
Hence, the minute the Townley wreck
ing crew marshaMs their majority vote
in the house, Frazier can appoint new
men to Temporarily fill the state Of
fees made vacant.
The trials are heard by the senate,
and two-thirds vote is necessary to
convict. This Townley cannot get.
But, if the trial hangs on for a couple
of months, the newly appointed Town
ley rubber stamps could nave pretty
well cleaned house in the inetrim.
Just give Townley complete control
of every state Office right now for only
a period Of two months, and it is a
safe bet that he will not worry about
anything else in the future.
1t is n bold game. The Looting of
Alaska is not to be compare
attempted locting of North Dakota.

It's funny to read the vociferous
shouts of the league kept press to the
effect that the Scandinavian-A American
Bank was always solvent, while at the
same time they are publishing ap-
peals to the farmers to "save the bank
by paying their checks and notes at
once, as well as bringing along de-
posits for the bank at the big league
shake-down held in Fargo Tuesday.
If the Scandinavian American bank
hadn't been playing fast and loose
with it's depositors' money, why this
fearful wall for funds?

1t seems that three more officials
have about reached the parting of the
ways with their boss, Townley. Geo.
NJ Young has come out with bitter
attack on the so-called Plumb plan of
handling the railroads, which is so
dear to the Townley heart. The plan
provides. briefly, for the people of the
United States to buy the railroads
from their owners, and then to turn
them over to a commission composed
of railroad employees and the public,
the latter to have one-third represent
tation on that body. Some scheme!
Justice of the Supreme Court Bird
sell seems to be without the pale al
so. In several decisions concerning
the Scandinavian American Bank
scandal, Birdsell voted against a
white-wash. Bronson, Grace and
Robinson voted solidly in favor of the
Townleyite's demands, however.
Obert Olson, state treasurer, has re-
fused on several occasions to honor
warrants when not properly present
ed. This has aroused the ire of the
league clan. 1t is said that the league
papers are about to feature cartoon
showing Olson astride a fence, indi-
eating that they believe he is trying
to play in with both the leaguers and
the anti-leaguers.
