Editor News-Times,
Dear Sir:-Knowing the fair at
titude that you have always taken
on all questions we the delegates
representing the labor organizations
from South Bend to the convention
in Chicago called for the purpose of
organizing a national labor party de-
sire to make a statement to correct
the fake impression given out
through the associated press reports.
First that the Non-Partisan league
of North Dakota did not bolt the
convention. Representatives OF the
league, George D. Brewer. and
Beecher Moore, addressed the con-
ventipp. Mn Moore challenged the
delegates to equal the solidarity Of
the farmers. You organized labor
ing men aren't in it with'the farm
ers for having sand" he said, the
farmer is just itching to get in with
you"
Mr. Moore declared that the league
was organized I'm thirteen states Mr..
William English Walling also ad-
dressed the convention.
a LeAtBEdin was ItGE4NEu from
Gov. Lynn J. Frazier stating that he
was on his way. Later a telegram
from Gov Frazier stating that an
injunction to prevent the state from
taking over the flour mills by the
state of North Dakota had been
granted and that he would be COM
PEELED to return.
The convention was called 10 or
/ der Saturday morning, Nov. p at 10
a. IA. by Max Hayes and continued
in almost continuous session until
midnight Tuesday. Nov. %. Having
completed the business of the con-
vention the meeting was adjourned.
sine die The convention was con
Quoted without any disturbance and
all delegates returned 10 their homes
feeling that the purpose for which
they had been called had been &C
complished in the most satisfactory
manner. The convention was repre-
sented by delegations from fOrty-six
states. the delegation from Indiana
numbering three hundred and forty
six. including the officials Of the
state federation Of labor

INVEST IN DOLLARS.

"A dollar is about the cheapest thing there is to-
Gay" advertises a savings bank. why not buy up
a few every week put them in a bank and wait for
a rise in vaIue?"
Doesn't that set to thinking We have heard
much about the "cheapne SIS" of dollars and have
usually thought of that quality only in connection
with spending them. Tt is true that they will
buy much today. Because OF this very depreciation
people become more reckless. "A dollar has so
little value they say. What good j. it? Might just
well get rid o. it Anyway. there plenty more
where it from.
But the supply not going to last forever The
flow of dollars viii not always be so plentiful as
it has been lateyraH financial history teaches that
Money huctuates in value like other things; has
ifs period Of plenty and cheapness and then its
period Of comparative scarcity and dearness. A dol
Tar may never again buy quite much of the
nodities of life did before this but it will
certainly buy more some time than does now.
That time may not be far distant. either.
This is the time therefore to make good cash
investment. Take fier in dollars. Hang some
OF the money flowing through your hands-you
probably grab more than you could be
fore-and stick it in the savings bank before it gets
away from you This is perfectly sound business
you take those dollars out of the bank. after "a
while they viii buy a good deal of the things
you want than they viii now. Meanwhile. the bank
will pay YOU for the privilege of taking care of your
investment

More Truth
Than Poetry
By James J. Montague

1T CAN'T. BE DONE TODAY.
In good King Arthur's merrie day
When mobiles everywhere
Had iron boots and iron suits
For street and evening wear
\ knight did not select his clothes
For style or 1T or show,
lie had 'em cast. and they would last
Two hundred years or so.
Untroubled by a tailor's duns
Sir Launcelot would sport
The suit his dad before him had
To jousts, and church and court.
THAT had the cost of living beat"
We hear you cry, IF they
Could dress like that in Astolat
Why cannot we today?'
We could, it's true; but just suppose
When tricked out like a knight
Beneath ones belt behind, one felt
a fresh mosquito bite
Imagine how we'd twist and writhe
In wild and tortured throes
It's quite a knack 20 scratch ones
back
When dressed in iron clothes,
And so. although it costs US more
To dress than we have got,
We can't be clad like Galahad
In merrie CamelOt.
When knights went forth in iron
coats
To gain a glorious name
Or fame 70 win, il must have been
Before mosquitoes came

POSTCARDS.

Postcards were invented many

the fashion to send postcards No
matter if you only went TO Niles.
You would write Am having n good
time although you were cursing
your luck because you had 20 wait
10 minutes for your car. You would
include all your friends and when
you came home would call on every
one of them to see if your card was
placed in the postcard album.
A postcard sent 10 an enemy
meant that everything was forgiven.
