HOME TOWN FEELING

To get anything done in this
world, you must have team work. If
the player in a football eleven is
concerned merely in seeing how far
he Individually can kick the ball, and
giving display of his prowess as a
kicker that will make the grand
stand yell, he will never do any
thing for his team. He has got to
learn to fit into :he machine and do
whatever needs to be done. Perhaps
the most he can do is to make a
little pass of single yard that no
spectator will ever see. but it may
make possible winning run.
So in any community life. The
whole population Of Hope has got to
unite In combined effort to ac-
complish public ends. The towns
that 60 ahead are those in which the
workers are ready to take hold and
work in one combined movement,
and in which the people who do not
feel they can take prominent parts,
are at least willing to operate
with and shout for whatever is be-
ing done.

BUY RED CROSS
CHRISTMAS SEALS

One hundred and eleven classes OF
schools have been termed winners
of titles in the Modern Health Cru
sade which has been conducted as q
National Tournament in Health
Knighthood in the public schools.
The National tuberculosis Associ-
tion originated the movement as q
"health builder" that shall prevent
disease by promoting 100 per cent
health.
To be a winner a class must be
composed of pupils. every one of
whom, has done rs per cent of the
health chores for the fifteen week
period of the tournament.
The health chores are rules un-
der which the children must live.
Each child keeps a chart which tells
what Chores they omitted and
which ones they performed. The
percentage is gained from the report
of the week. Doing the chores means
not only higher percentage for the
class. but also assures the children
of health and drives away tubercu-
losis.

STEELE COUNTY
RED CROSS Meeting

A meeting has been called to meet
at Finley on Saturday, November
9Th, at IL o'clock a. M. Election of
county officers and the planning of
the coming years work is the main
purpose, but the Northern Division
has promised to send Countess
Turcznyowicz to speak, her address
being at O'Clock. A cordial invita-
tion Is extende to ALL. In the bus
mess session only those who are reg
ularly accredited delegates will par
ttcipate. At the outbreak of the
war the Countess was living In what
was known as Russian Poland and
was one of the last women to leave
that country and was the first to re-
turn with aid for the suffering peo-
pie. She also enjoys the distinction
of being the only woman who is a
member of an European government
She has been active in Red Cross re-
lief work and has spent much time
In speaking tours. She was born
OF American parents, going to
Europe for her musical education,
where she was married and where
she lived at the outbreak Of the war.
She has also published some inter-
esttng books on the conduct of the
war and conditions after tho ,vor In
Poland. This is an oportunity for
our people to hear this interesting
woman speak Of which they will no
doubt take advantage.

That the repeal of the anti-cigar-
ette law and the substitution there
fore Of a high license to tobacco
venders dealing in cigarettes and a
severe penalty for sale of cigarettes
to minors will be taken before the
special session of the legislature is
the current report.
It is argued by those opposing the
law that 29,600 soldiers. sailors or
marines from North Dakota are en-
titled to smoke what they choose
and further that there are 100000
cigarette smokers in the state: that
North Dakota Is one of two states in
the union which has a prohibitory
law on cigarettes while all others
have repealed their anti-pill legisla-
ton and substituted licensed sale.
The work of the attorney generals
Office during the past six months
when over 800 violators of the law
have been arrested and paid fines
and been given suspended Jail SEN
tences to be served for further law
violation, has made 1t extremely
difficult to secure cigarettes In many
sections Of the state, and consequent
ly there has been tremendous roar.

ment league officers insist that inso-
far as the service men are concerned
many are opposed to the cigarette
and thousands have quit smoking
them since returning from the gov

fact that the American Legion con-

American soldiers was something
marvellous. There was nothing like it
In the war. There was determin-
alton and fervor, a daring Of all OBJ
stacles that astonished the world and
broke the German spirit.
AS American spirit could do that
in war, it can do the same thing in
peace. The display of the same sac
rifice, the same discipline, the same
resolution, can dissolve our little in
dustrial and social problems like the
smoke before the morning sun. All
that Is NEEDED is leadership and de-
termination, the spirit of service and
OF loyalty to the historic American
ideals.

officer of the state. The attorneys
for the defence offered to place on
the stand Mrs. Daisy Piezik to prove
that while Smith was at Beach osten-
sibly to investigate the Bowen MUIR
der, he attempted criminal assault
upon her while she was looking over
Smiths house with the view of buy
ing it. Their offers also included the
proof that while Smith was sherif he
sold liquor and also ran gambling
game at his house, taking rake-off
from the players.
At the close of the hearing the
attorneys offered to prove by various
witnesses that no one in politics was
responsible for the Bowen murder;
that the Bowen-Ofaey feud dated
back several years before there was
such an organization as the non-part-
isan league; that both men had been
members and workers for the league
and both voted the league ticket;
that the whole custer proceeding a.
gainst the sheriff and states attorney
was cooked up and that therein was
the only politics.
However, the attorneys were de-
MED the privilege of placing the
witnesses on the stand. Governor
Frazier now has the whole transcript
of the testimony. It ia stated that
If Gallagher and Pierzina are rein
stated in oflce the governor must
white-wash Attorney General LANCER
of the charges made against him in
connection with the Bowen murder.

INTERESTING HAPPENINGS
At IT, "-'-E Capital

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 6-Para-
mount of all talk around the capitol
is the argument whether or not the
special legislative session called for
November 25th will take up impeach-
ment charges against LANCER, Hall
and Kositzky. Brinton at a special
secret meeting Of the moguls of the
Post Dated Check, suggested i'm
peachment, then the adjournment be-
fore the senate could consider, thus
leaving the positions vacant to be
filled by Governor Frazier for the
coming year for A. c. Townley
Lawyers who have investigated
this plan declare it to be very clever
until one considers the law-the con-
stitution of the state in fact. For
that much riddled document declares
that man held under criminal
charges shall be granted a speedy
hearing. On civil suits the consti-
tuition declares trial shall be had
without undue delay. Impeachment
charges are held to be of quasi
criminal character, and therefore un-
der the constitution such delay as ad-
vocated by the political intriguers
would be decidedly illegal.
Whether or not the Big Five will
attempt to shove over the impeach-
nEent plan in the face of the constitu-
tion is question. OF course they
have a majority Of the supreme court,
still with the temper of some of the
former stand pat legislators at ques-
tion, there is a doubt expressed as to
the possibility.
1t is further pointed out that the
Towner county election will, If the
law is observed, prove of little benefit
to the Townley forces inasmuch as
the law provides the county can
vassing board must act. then the
state canvassing board and then the
official must qualify. 1t is argued
that ten days will elapse before the
SAPOStSu AAOu6 uc oSAcsIOA WOOAO OO
eated. The Towner election is set
for the same day as the session is
called.
In the call for ses,ion the gover-
nor cites ratification of woman's suf-
frage, changes in the soldier bonus
law, relief for the drought stricken
farmers, and amendments to league
program legislation as the reason for
the call. Ways and means of rails
ing money to carry on the state busi-
ness pending the receipt Of the taxes
In March is one point which is not
mentioned, but which must have it's
full share of attention.
There are rumors in circulation
that If the impeachment charges are
not forthcoming, there will be legis-
lation removing LANCER. Hall and
Kositzky from the banking board,
the auditing board, the board of ad-
ministration and other important
trusts. Tie their hands one way or
another is the Townley slogan.
