HOMESTEADERS.

Angus McPhail, who sold linens at Staceys,
Would find it gey tame to return to the store
And measure out towels and sheetings to house
wives
He who in France, for twelvemonth and more,
Has tugged at stretcher-been cited for valor
Because of his grit, on the ambulance corps
The pharmacy lad who used to mix sundaes,
In natty white coat, as neat as a pin.
Since then in the trenches has neighbored with
coolies,
And studied machine guns without and within
OF course, now wars over, he must find new
job,
But somehow-he doesn't know how to begin!
Percival Poore, lounge lizard and wastreI,
Who lived but to one-step and follow jass bands
Has learned that year in the navy breeds man
hood,
As well as strong muscles and tough, calloused
hands,
It's life out of doors that will suit him here
after:
His viewpoint has altered land, likewise his
plans!
Whose vision has changed, who are ready to
roam
"Come back to the land!" It's old Earth's invi-
tation,
aClear out my waste forests, and plOw my rich
loaml
There are acres for all-jOin the land army
forces!
Come, stake out your ground claim. and build
you home!"

FARMERS TURN COMING

r- He first visible effect of the real meaning
Of Townleyism is seen in one measure now
m before the legislature of North Dakota.
H Is 4 measure whereby but one paper in county
can be a legal newspaper, in which legal notices
Of all kinds can be prined. Any notice OF legal
nature printed in any other paper will not be
legally published When the measure gets TO be
a law the newspaper in each county controlled
bv the Townley interests will get the job OF be-
ing q real newspaper. And every newspaper man
knows what this means, and even Brinton who
is pushing the bill, admits 1.-THE real meaning
is to put out to business the other newspaper. 1t
will do it, While the newspaper game is the first
line of business to be singled out, yet any other
line is in equally as much danger The next
thing will be law which will prohibit the sale
of certain things, and that will take in everything
in the line of necessity, except at certain store
and that will be Townley store. Townley's fol-
lowers have been emphatic that they only wanted
state owned elevators, packing houses, ETC., but
it is noticed since they have gotten control OF
North Dakota that they are putting through the
entire program and are starting in on the smaller
branches Of business the newspapers being the
first to suffer Later on other lines of business
will get theirs. The farmers of that state have
been fed on some very sweet sounding theories
and they have fallen for it. A little little
later on the real meaning of the program will
be seen and then there is going to be smile of
another kind North Dakota is in its first stages
of socialism; Russia is little further advanced
in the scale.-Cottonwood County Citizen

LEADING QUESTIONS

ION Johnny's first day at school he was
given registration card on which his moth
er was to write his birth record. The follow
ing day he arrived tardy and without the re-
gistration slip. Johnny" said teacher, "you
must bring an excuse for being tardy, and
don't forget the slip about when you were
born All out of breath next day Johnny
rushed in holding note from his mother.
Teacher" he gasped, 81 brought the one a.
bout being tardy, but forget my excuse for
being born."-Exchange.
That reminds us! Away back in our near-youth
before we degenerated from school teacher into
a newspaper person, it was one of our duties as
in Minneapolis school, to find out
various things concerning the parentage etc., of
our pupils. One boy persistently failed to re-
play to the question where were you born" |?
and finally note was sent to his mother request
ing that she give the necessary information. Her
reply ran thus; "Miss --. can't see
what business it is of yours where Willie was
born, but if you must know he was born in the
ktchen-ou bedroom wasn't finished yet"
