The legitimate stage has been usually
unattainable.
An exception 10 this rule is Ralph
Sipperly, one OF the cast of a Prince
There Was" at the George NJ: Cohan
Theatre And bits of his career are
as interesting as the cinema actor he
portrays In the piece.
In his earlier days Mr.. Slpperly had
designs TO break into the big leagues,
overthrow Larry Lajoie as batting
champion and be Known as tho great
est first baseman of all time, Frank
Chance and Harry Davis NOT excepted.
In attempting to carry out HIS ambi-
lions he grew acquainted with many
towns and finally rose TO the bour-
geoisle of baseball society in beins
signed by tho Elmira and Binghamtun
teams of the old New York State
League. Thence he went to the East
Liverpool team OF the =. O. NJ. League
and that was all. \ bad slash on'the
head with perfectly good spike ended
his baseball career.

It is to be hoped that everyone will
make a special effort to attend the
meeting at the Commercial Club rooms
on Friday, Nov. 81, 1919 at 8 P. M.
The purpose of this meeting is to
elect q Board of Directors for Bottin-

This Board shall elect, from it's
members, a Chairman, Vice Chair
man a Secretary and Treasurer"
"The Chairman shall then appoint
three (3) Directors, who, with himself
and Secretary will serve as an Exec
utive Committee"
Unless the officers are elected and
this committee appointed it will be
necessary to disband this chapter,
close the books and send them with all
money in our treasury to Northern
Division Headquarters.
This will not be fair to the people Of
our county, for the money in our
treasury can be used to great ad-
vantage in our Home Service Depart
ment which takes care of families Of
Soldiers and Sailors, continues to help
the Serviceman, gives family relief
where there is no other agency in the
Community and is always ready to

some time. The Legion boys had dec

prominent place in the gymnasium
was hung the Bottineau County Ser

Between sixty and seventy couple
were present and in stating that a
jolly good time was had we feel we
voice the opinion Of all attending.
The dance was certainly out of the
ordinary for Bottineau, the orchestra
being seated in the balcony and the
fine floor Of the gymnasium made il
an evening long to be remembered
Although there were between 80 and
70 couple present the American Le-

out even on the venture as the expense
was high. A fine supper was served
by the High School Athletic Associa-
tion.

ON FOR
FARMER SUPPORT
LABOR AND BIG BUSINESS TRY
TO GET FARMERS IN THEIR
OPPOSING CAMPS

While the national forces of reaction
are working overtime to stampede the
farmers into joint fight with them
against what they are pleased to call
"radicalism", but what in realinty is
progress, these efforts are being off
set by the latest moves Of organized
labor to get the organized farmers
with the organized workers in an al
lied movement to defend democracy
against the forces of reaction and pro-
mote real progress
The farmers organizations of the
gates to the conference called by the
executive council of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor and the four rail-
road brotherhoods Dec. 13, according
to letters received in North Dakota
from President Gompers of the Amer
ican Federation Of Labor This con-
ference will take up the matter Of
corporation of laborers and the farm
ers of the nation. The Nonpartisan
League and the North Dakota FEEDER
alton of Labor will be we'll represented
at this conference according to plans
now under way.
While this movement to get the
farmers and workers to gether in a
great movement of the common people
is being consummated the big inter-
ests are busy in Chicago trying to per-
feet an alliance with the farmers
against labor. A recent dispatch from
that city states that Representative
farmers and manufacturers have COM
bined the leadership of Milo H. Camp
bell, chairman of the national board
of farm organizations and president of
the National Milk Producers, to COM
bat radicalism of all kinds and to help
bring the nation back to a firm in
dustrial basis by means of an educa-
tional campaign destined to eliminate
class suspicion and distrust. An effort
is to be made to include labor leaders
in the committees work."
Big business was also able to swing
the Farmers National congress at Ha-
gerstown into opposition to organize
labor. This body adopted a resolution
in its closing session over the vigor-
our protests Of the minority condemn
ing organized labor for attempting to
shorten the work day and increase
wages and classifying the organized
workers as "profiteers."
It now looks like a big race had
started between organized labor and
big business to see which would win
the allegiance of the farmers in the
big pending political lineup. The ex-
istance of democracy in America de-
pends on the farmer going to the side
of labor and the common people.
