To the People of North Dakota:
Towney and his papers say that am opposed to the
economic program of the League
IoWney knows better Townley knows that saved
the League program both before the Canvassng Board
and in the Courts
ToWney and his papers have told you that there
are two printing bills.
Bill No. 158 which provides for one legal paper in each
county, and for the election Of the legal paper after the
next general election is NOT BEING REFERRED
The bill referred is No. 157, the Graft Bill This bill
provides that for the next 18 months three men at Bis
mafck Will grab the power possessed by your Board
OF County Commissioners and your other local authori
tles and designate the legal paper in each county,
1t this bill passes it means that not the farmers but
loWney will control the legal newspapers in each county
for Is months.
1t means that if your Senator refuses to bow down
to ToWnleys will at the next session that the next morn
ing in So newspapers in the state your Senator will be
called traitor, and attempt made to discredt him
with the farmers
1t means the establishment of domineerng, AUTO
cratic and literally selfish control the part of Towney
1t means the surrender your part of the rights for
which your ancestors fought-a free press
The Chamber of Commerce newspapers and old gang
papers have ied-the North Dakota Leader the Fargo
CourerNews, and other Towney papers have lied The
free PRESS your weekly newspaper is about the onv pa
per you can depend upon.
Vote mo" against the printing BILL It has absolute
nothing to DO with the economic program of the league
1t IS graft measure pure and SIMPLE and as ATTORNEY
General elected by the farmers and common people Of
the state would be coward let Townley and his out
tit prevent me from telling the truth

decided to get some runs and put
three runners across home plate. This
made the final Store to 3, in favor
OF the visitors. Crimson and Tram
nell officiated as umpires.
The evening program consisted Of
concert by the Band and was given
on the large bowery which had been
erected on the lots adjacent to the
opera house. The streets and open
places within hearing distance were
all packed with automobiles and peo-
pie and they gave the band a hearty
reception. The feature Of the con-
cert was the solos of Bruce, the In
dian cornetist. Mr.. Boise also fav-
ored with vocal solos. Immediately
following the concert the bowery was
cleared and the dancing started. The
floor was kept busy with the dancers
until the clocks announced the ar
rival of Sunday morning.
In our Journeys through the crowds
during the day and evening we heard
many words of praise for the splen-
did day given the county by the peo-
pie of the Sounth End. Credit is
due to those who assisted in securing
the funds and to those who assisted
by donating the funds. The enter
tainment committee worked hard in
planning and arranging for the day
and it is due to them that the pro-
gram was carried out 80 smoothly.
We have mentioned the work of the
decoratin gcommittee and wish to
congratulate them upon their initia-
tive in the decorating line.
Taken as whole the day was one
of the biggest days ever held in the
county. The weather conditions were
ideal for a celebration and people
came for miles to attend. In spite
of the size of the crowd and the large
number of automobiles present there
were no accidents of any kind to mar
the pleasure of anyone. The crowd
was orderly and we believe that ev-
erybody enjoyed themselves to the
limit and will remember Hope as a
good place to go when they want a
good time.

AN INTERESTING INTEREST TABLE
WILLIAM LANCER.

The following table compiled in the office of the
Register of Deeds in and for Steele County and is es

Hit the High Mark

Jay Fletcher's pinch hitters in
the Y. bowling league have John
Gibson scratching his head and
wondering what position his
team will take as to winning
prizes for high or low average
but they did think they had a
cinch on the high score for one
game until j. Fletcher's bunch
blowed in last night and took
even these honors from the Glib
son team.
Fletcher's boys bowled like
wild fire and their captain simp
ly lost control of himself entire
ly and rolled more than two
hundred pins in one of the
games, holding up a good aver
age for the three games. The
other members of the team fo'-
lowed the lead Of their captain
and bowled like sailors at a
bar. the lowest score for any
member of the team being 157.
This team had a total for the
three games of 2676. Gibson's
team high score was 2637 and
Fletcher's boys now feel assured
that they will not be "skunked"
when it comes to prizes at the
end of the tournament. The
game was rolled against the Ris-
ler team and the score was as
follows:

Receives Appointment at the COun-
Gil Meeting Tuesday Evening
Council Believe They Have Made a Wise
Choice in the Selection of
This Man

At the meeting of the Council
held on Tuesday evening Henry
C. Koenig was appointed Assess
or to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of James A..
Sheridan. Mr.. Koenig qualified
for the office yesterday and will
begin making an assessment of
the real estate and personal
property of the city on May 1st.
The selection of Mr.. Koenig as
the new Assessor seems to meet
with the approval of most
people and we believe him to be
capable of giving the property
owners a just and equitable as
sessment.
The council took up the mat
ter of extending the cemetary
grounds by adding another five
or ten acre tract to the present
cemetary. The need of this
action is apparant upon looking
over the plat of the cemetary
grounds for practically all of the
lots in the now plated cemetary
have been sold. There is a strip
of lots in the First Addition
which have not been sold but
these lots are not desirable on
account of the wet condition Of
the ground and upon investiga-
ton by the special committee to
be appointed it may be decided
to drain this land. The COM
mittee will also possibly approve
the plan to add another five or
ten acre tract and begin the
work of clearing the same and
having it surveyed and plated.
1t it figured that this work could
be done this spring and thereby
furnish employment to a num-
ber of people.

Bayfield, County Organization Plans
Speed in Coming Drive
Hope to Have Entire County Quote Sub
scribed on First Day
of the Drive. ri

The Bayfield, County organi-
zation for the Victory Liberty
Loan drive expect to complete
the county quote in a single day
according to County Chairman
H. H. Peavey under whose
direction the various organlza-
tions have been formed. They
expect to complete their work
on the first day of the drive,
which is April 21st, due in a
large measure to the preliminary
work which has already been
done.
The allotment system will be
used throughout Bayfield, county
in the coming campaign. This
will be the first time the allot-
ment system has been used in
the Washburn district, because
in former drives when thousands
of men were employed at the
Barksdale plant of the Dupont
company this district had little
difficulty in exceeding it's quote,
but the local workers realize
that a good amount OF work IS
necessary in the coming drive,
yet with the allotment system
they expect to go over the top in
a single day.
City Chairman P. +. Trow-
bridge and his comlnEtecs are
busy this week getting their
allotment cards ready and these
will be mailed to reach the peo-
pie on the 18th of April. The
cards will be returnable on the
10Th of April when the allotment
board will be in session at the
Commercial Club rooms to re-
ceive subscriptions and to re-
ceive complaints from parties
whose allotments have been
placed too high, and to make ad-
iustments. Saturday will be
the only day when the al
lotment board will be in session.
All persons receiving allot-
ment cards and others are asked
to appear on Saturday aud make
their subscriptions. This will
give the ward workers less to do
and thus aid in putting the dis
trict over.
The terms of the Victory loan
are so favorable that every per-
son should purchase every dollar
in bonds that he can. Arrange
ments have been made by Coun-
ty Chairman Peavey with the
Banks of Bayfield, county for the
loaning of money at the low rate
of 6 per cent to persons desirous
of purchasing these bonds. which
are best security the United
States has ever issued.

Four Year Gold Bends to Bear Rate
Of Interest at 4 3-4 Per Cent
Is the Most Attractive Security ever
Offered in the United States. Ex-
pect Big Oversubscriptioa.

There was great JOY manifest
among Victory Liberty Loan
workers throughout the United
States on Monday morning when
announcement was made as to
the Victory Liberty Loan for
never before in the history Of
the world were more attractive
securities ever offered to the
Public.
The Victory Loan will take
the form of Gold notes maturing
in four years and will hear inter-
est at the rate of A 3-4 per cent.
These notes will be convertible
at the option of the holder
throughout their life into three
and three-quarter per cent notes
of like maturity. Both the gold
bonds and the notes into which
they converted will be
excl All federal income,
stat '~'~"al taxes, except es-
tate and inheritance taxes and
will be dated and bear interest
from May Goth. 1919 and mature
in 1923.
The twenty-six counties in
Wisconsin in the Ninth Federal
Reserve district have been al
loted nine. millions Of the Vic
tory Loan while the, quote for
the Ninth district is one hum
dred fifty-seven millions out Of
a total for the nation of four and
half billions of dollars.
This will mean that the quota
for the county for the Victory
Loan will be somewhat less than
it was for the Fourth Liberty
loan.
The Victory Loan notes which
the people are asked to purchase
at this time are such that they
will always insure a good mar
ket and will prove attractive to
the people. Bankers Rener-
ally are of the opinion that these
notes will go above par i'm
mediately after they have been
placed upon the market.
Theo. Void, Governor of the
Federal Reserve Bank, says:
"The terms of the Victor Lib
erty Loan are so extremely
favorable the amount to be raised
in this district is so comparative
ly small that to my mind there is
absolutely no doubt but that the
loan will be promptly oversub-
scribed in the Ninth District"
The Victory Loan notes are
the finest security ever offered.
People will appreciate their value
as an investment.
