Their Reu,drd

In another column of the Pro:lu.
GERS News appears a letter from an
overseas veteran, giving plainly the
impression that the recent Memorial
LAY celebration made upon him.
This letter came in the mail, and
surely was surprise to this writer.
One Is deeply moved and deeply
inundated as well, after reading
this letter. Inundated as one Of
those who were privileged to stay at
nome, and render lip service, if you
please, while our brothers and neigh
fors We're sent far away across the
sea to fight for great principle and
Ito risk their lives and suffer in
.descrbable hardship, while we ate our
meals regularly and at night crept
into our soft warm beds, while these
boys reposed in the mud and rain
Ind filth, attendant of a field of earn
age.
Now these boys are home and we
have had an opportunity to show
them by deeds, the gratitude which
we have been so wont to express by
way of the lips.

what a deep appreciation we would
have been able to show our heroes.
When they went away they were
bid farewell amid a great din and
show. The newspapers We'd with
each other in rendering lip service.
The home guard escorted them to the
train. But where is the home guard
now; the home guard that should
be made up of those Of US, patriots
who are bound to keep the memory
of the services and sacrifices of these
heroes green.

Why The Change9
Has the leopard changed his spots ?

Has the leopard changed his spots
Has the Ethiopian changed his
skin?
Has the horned toad become an
oriole?
Has the thing so vile and venom
Gus, become that which is pleasant
to behold and which uttereth sounds
so pleasing to the earl
Can it be that Joe Delin is now
what he was not or that he was not
what he is now9
Hath this Dolin thing shed his
horns and on his cheruh shoulders
sprouted wings?
Or hath "Rube" Vexina rubbed the
scales from his eyes and now beholds
the thing which he once saw as a
denizen of Hades, as now the trans
formed, glorified, immaculate, lily
white ambassador of the realms be-
yond the sky?

How N. D. Bank
Will Cut Credit Cost
New System Makes People Independ
ent of Distant Money Markets.
SUBSTITUTES LOCAL CREDITS

SUBSTITUTES LOCAL CREDITS
This important fact lends particu-
lar significance to the new state bank
of North Dasota provided by the
Nonpartisan league farmers legisla-
ture. This bank will very largely
substitute local credits for distant
credits. State banks, when they
need more money for more loans to
the people, will turn to the central
state bank rather than to the distant
East. The local bank will be able to
take farmers notes and business
mems notes to the central bank and
rediscount them This means that
the central bank will take the notes
and give the local bank money on
which it can lend to other farmers
and business men. By manufacture
ing it's own credit in this manner
North Dakota will save a vast
amount Of tribute which it now pays
out. The method is just an adoption
of the federal reserve system to a
state, and it is surprising that more
of our states have not developed a
thing so obvious
CASH DEALINGS CHEAPER

| laudable. Maybe it was the lack of
understanding of just what these
boys deserved and just what we
should have done to have properly
shown our appreciation and graft
tude. Perhaps those in management
have lost the viewpoint of the sol
der; maybe they have not the vision
and the fellow sympathy necessary
to see and understand just what is
I due the soldier and what the soldier
expects. -.-
Maybe the program was too highly
patronizing.
Maybe there were more hidden
motives about town to get then to
give.
The boys who are coming back are
not the same boys who marched
away. They have progressed maybe
more than we have. What they
want is appreciation shown by deed;
they want social justice; they want
an opportunity to make good in the
walk of peace as they made good at
Chateau Thierry; they want well
come manifesting a comprehension
of their needs, sympathy with their
demand for an opportunity; and a
reciprocal generosity that shows in
part slight understanding of the
gifts they have so generously be-
slowed upon mankind.
1t is surely sad that we so COM
pletely missed the mark at which We
aimed.
1t might be we'll to try again, jus;
to show these boys that our hearts
are right even if our deeds were
faulty.
Who now will come forward tt
volunteer to give both time, service
anu money, abolishing all ideas o
profit, to show our soldiers that w
have a grasp of what they have givel
/, and that we are willing to show on
: deep gratitude, by giving in small
> way in return; who will join in Civ
!. ing our returned soldiers a welcom
. of gratitude.
r We want to hear from those who's
heart responds to the service thes
e boys have rendered us.

were enormous.
When the armistice was signed,
American industries were working at
capacity-many Of them at over 100
per cent of normal production. The
American workers had had practical
ly three years Of full time work.
The months from December to
May have seen progressive decline
in working class prosperity. Prices
have stayed up,-some have gone ev-
en- higher, but earnings have come
down. In some cases wage rates
have been reduced, as in the case OF
the miners of Butte. Mont, and the
machinists of New York, Philadel-
phia and Baltimore. In more cases
the decrease in earnings was brought
about by an abandonment of over
time and Sunday work. In still 9TH
er cases, whole industries have gone
on a time week. The coal min
ers of Colorado, Arkansas, Illinois
and Ohio report 2, 3 and 4 days of
work per week.; the steel workers of
Pittsburgh and Bethlehem report so
per cent. to go per cent. of normal
production; the building trades all
over the country are fiat. The sun
filled orders" reported by the United
States Steel Corporation are often
taken as an index of business 1rros-
perity. These orders were 9,O56,40
tons in April 1, 1918 and 5,430,572
tons in April 1, 1919. During April
and May they decreased by about
half million tons a month. In the
middle of May the corporation an
nounced that at the present rate, in
another three months, it would have
no work-all of its orders would be
filled.
The workers are not starving.

ed during the past three years, but
the outlook it dark There will be
little or no building this year; con-
struetion work is very slack; railroad
ing is on the decline, and many lines
of manufacturing can hardly pick up
before next winter or spring. The
workers in the basic industries there
fore face months-prohably many
months-of serious times. For the
first time they are feeling the war
as an economic burden.
The soldiers are being absorbed in

One relief for the situation lies in
the relatively large numbers of work
men who plan to return to Europe
This number is, estimated at from
to 10 millions. How many OF these
will actually get away depends upon
the authorities.
The American workers have re-
ceived the Peace Treaty in silence.
They had anticipated and discounted
it's terms, and therefore, were Abt

PLAY SAFE With
HAIL INSURANCE
E. K. Bowman, Chairman of State
Hail Insurance Department i'm Plen-
tyw00d-Explains Insurance.

For several days last week, E. K.
Bowman, of Hardin, this, state, chair
man of the State Board of Hail In
surance, was in Plentywood, looking
over the crop situation. and in an
interview with a News reporter, he
gave a very encouraging OUTLOOK for
state hail insurance.
"Of course" he stated. @the state
plan has its defects, as have all other
hail insurance plans, hut when we
consider that we have to depend on
legislative action to. remedy these
defects and it takes. time to get the
necessary legislative action, we are
doing remarkably we'll with our pres
ent handicap"
He explained that the state insur-
ance covers entire areas while pri-
vate companies, will accept only a
certain percentage of crop risk in
each section or locality. But with
the showing already made, the cold
line" companies with their partial
risk carry plan only paid back to the
farmer approximately IS per cent,
thus retaining in commission for the
company writing the insurance about
81 per cent. Some of the mutual
companies conduct their business on
a basis of rs per cent for losses and
about % per cent retained as COM
missions, while the state plan, al
though hard hit in some localities
because of the blanket acreage pro-
lection afforded, and unable to meet
the full par values of losses, the re-
cords will show that 95 per cent of
the money paid by farmers has been
paid back to farmers in adjustment
of losses, with only S per cent of the
premium being used for expenses oil
the department.
This year the State Hail Insurance
department have an arrangement
whereby losses this season win be
paid by state or county warrants in
September instead of waiting until
after tax paying time in the fall as
heretofore.

take steps against the speculation

"The law has not been dead though
it hath slep," said Shakespeare 800
years ago, and he could say it again
today with more force than ever. The
worst of laws is the law which some
men can put to sleep part of the time
the law that Steps while one steals
million and is wide-awake to pounce
on the man who steals something to
eat, or the law that searches the la
8boring mans speech for violence and
is dead to the talk of gunner, detec-
tives and tar and feather upstairs.

When is a man caught in the act
not guilty? From a recent Montana
experience the answer would be when
the sinner is a grain elevator man,
the man robbed a farmer, and the
jury made up of respectable town
business men. Another answer
would be when special privilege in
cites to violence against organized
farmers and workers.

Reasons for independence

In a recent public statement, the
United Farmers Of Alberta set forth
the reason for entering independent
politics in the following businesslike
fashion:
"First-We have developed a suf-
Ecient degree of freedom from po-
iitical partisanism. Ten years ago
we were welded to political parties
and hopelessly divided against each
other on party lines, thus destroying
the efficiency of each others fran
chise in blind rage to win party
elections. We have thrown off blind
obedience to partisanism, and are now
ready to make further progress by
taking up the practical duties of
citizenship in sane way.
Second have developed in
mobilization of thought. For years
we have been meeting together in our
local units, in our provincial conven-
tons, and in our national council, dis
cussing our problems until now we
have developed sufficient mobiliza-
ton of thought, or opinion, to JUS
tify us in beginning to develop a po-

Loss of Appetite

As a general rule there is mo- thing serious about a loss of ap- petite, and If you skip a meal or oAly eat two meals a day for a few days you will soon have a relish for your meals when meal time comes. Bear in mind that at least five hours should always elapse between meals so as to give the food ample time to di- gest and the stomach e period of rest before a second meal is taken. Then if you eat no more than you crave and take a req sonable amount of outdoor ex- ercise every day you will not need to worry about your ap- petite. When the loss of ap- petite is caused by constipation as is often the case. that should be corrected at once. A dose of Chamberlain's Tablets will do it. Adv.
