HUMBUG FROM NORTH DAKOTA.
wall Street Journal.)

Governor Frazier of North Dakota,
having been drafted by the National
Association of City Editors, whatever
that may be, gladly accepts the call
to take part in "a nationwide cam
paign to be launched against every
manifestation of anarchy and to safe
guard American liberties, American
labor, American homes and American
schools" According to a dispatch
to the Times, he goes on thus:
perhaps you are aware that
North Dakota has taken the in
itiative in this matter and is the
first state in the union to pro-
pose and enact into law a pro-
gram which not only safeguards
American labor and American
schools, but extends democracy
into industry and promises to re-
lieve the producers and consum-
ers of this state from the system
attic exploitation by the monopo-
lists who control our markets."
1t is the legislature of this same
North Dakota which has attempted
to enact into law a state schedule of
freight rates not merely as low as, but
in some respects lower than, the rates
existing before the United States en-
tered the war. 1t is the attorney-gen-
eral of this same North Dakota who
is attempting to hale the director
general of railroads before the state
supreme court for alleged invasion
OF the sacred sovereignty of North
Dakota, in that he raised freight and
passenger rates all over the country
to provide the wherewithal to increase
railroad wages by some 35 per cent.
With freight and passenger rates
returned to pre-war levels the rail
roads of the country would fall $780,
600 900 short of earning their pres
ent operating expenses, consisting al
most wholly of the wages of railroad
men, coal miners, steel workers and
l~umberjacks. That is, of course,
without reckoning with any shrink
age of traffic or with any compensa-
ton for the owners of the roads, who
would be spurious versenkt" unless
congress diabolically decided that its
contract with them was as binding as
it's contract with the wheat growers.
But Governor Frazier and North
Dakota do not really intend that $780,
900 900 or more shall be shorn from
the income of the wage workers in or
out of that state. Their intention is
that North Dakota shall return to the
pre-war rate level while the traffic
among the states or within other
states assumes North Dakota's as
sessment of wartime wages. So the
"producers and consumers of this
state" are to be relieved of the "sys-
tematic exploitation" of-whom? We
hesitate to say of the railroad broth

When we establish communication,
will the know edge we obtain be all

Questions and conjectures can be null

1t is entirely possible that other

the Frazier line of reasoning for him

If New York ever had a valid claim
to primacy in the production of po-
litico-economic humbug it has lost

Aged Woman Commits Suicide

A sad affair occurred at the Ben
Anderson farm in Becker township
Sec. "a, sometime Sunday night, when
Mrs. Howe, mother of Bert Howe and
Mrs. Ben Anderson committed suicide
by throwing herself into the water
tank. Mrs. Howe who is sixty years
of age had been in poor health for
sometime and was quite despondent
at times. She had acted queerly all
day, but the folks thought nothing
of it until her body was discovered
in the tank. The family retired as
usual Sunday night and some time
later she was found to be missing. A
search was started with the above re-
suits. 1t is thought she became tenn
porarily deranged and in a fit of des-
pondancy committed the deed.
The authorities were notified, but
there being absolute proof that it
was case of suicide, it was decided
no inquest was necessary.

County Club Leader Accepts Position
With Guaranty State Bank

Mr.. O. G. Tracy, former county
club leader, has accepted position
with the Guaranty State Bank OF
this city and will devote hts entra
time to conducting the boys and girls
club work undertaken by the bank,
together with other outside work
connected with the bank
Mr.. Tracy attended the Agriculture
al College at Ames, Iowa, and is ex-
ceptionally we'll quanfied for work
of this kind and his services in con-
nection with the club work of the
county the past year has been of in
estimable value. We are indeed glad
to learn that his work along these
lines is to be continued in his new DO
sition.
The Guaranty State Bank is taking
the lead in the encouragement of the
boys and girl.s pig club work and IL
MING GA CHOIt W nave every DOy
and girl in this vicinity rails pure
bred sow the coming year. The
bank is Offering to loan the boys and
girls the money with which to buy a
pure bred SOW, or will give them a
SOW, the only payment asked being
that the club member return two gifts
from the first litter, which the bank
Will again distribute to the boys and
girls of this community next year.
The latter plan is proving by far the
most popular and the bank has receiv-
ed requests from every part of the
county for sows to be given away un-
der this plan. Under this plan the
boys and girls receive the old SOW
and all the litter except two for their
work, and the bank assumes all the
risks due to losing the sows, etc
The Standard takes this opportun-
ity of congratulating the Guaranty
State Bank upon this forward step
in the encoura cement of better live
stock and better farming in thsi vi
entity, and upon its securing for this
community the continued services of
Mr.. Tracy.

REGARDING PRICES
FOR ADVERTISING

We have heard number of COM
plants regarding our advertising
rates; some advertisers claiming we
are charging too much for space. This
is not the case We are charging the
same rates that Mr.. Johnson, the for
mer owner, did.
1t is we'll understood fact that
the cost of printing, material, paper,
ink, ETC., has increased enormously,
in some instances 200 per cent, in
the past few years, and we can not
sell our space at the rates charged
four years ago.
The cost of merchandise has also
increased, and when the printer goes
to the store to make his purchases he
does not try to have the merchant
lower his prices, as the merchant is
entitled to fair profit. The same
holds true in printing office. We
have to sell our space to meet over
head costs and are entitled to the
same fair profit as merchant.
The Standard has a circulation of
over 1900, almost entirely in Roberts
county and fifteen cents per inch for
advertising is very cheap rate, in
fact too cheap.
We have no intention of raising
our rates, but wish to be fair to all.
There are number Of outside
stores who wish to get in our adver-
tising columns, but as we are pub
fishing this paper in the interests of
the people and the business men of
Roberts county we do not care to
take outside advertising, at least not
as long as the business men support
the paper the way it should be.
Our advertising rates will be pub
lished hereafter in the first column
of the editorial page and will be
strictly adhered to.

1.-THE BLUE BIRD- SUPERB ART.
CRAFT PICTURE TO BE s;HuW-N
AT UNIQUE THEATRE

'"The Blue Bird an Aircraft pc
ture, will be shown at the Unique
Theatre next Thursday evening, Nov.
27th. 1t is an adaptation, by Char
les Maigne, from Maererlinck' IS mas
terpiece, which has attracted wide at
tention in the dramatic and literary
world. The great autllor took for his
central figures a little boy and girl
and for them he drew aside the cur
tain of life, delved into the past and
touched eloquently upon the great
Beyond.
In the form of play, as produced
in London and later in New York, the
story teemed with dramatic interest,
and instead of heavy preachmsnt or
dry sermon it developed into a virile
presentation, sparkling with vivacity.
In adapting this work to motion pic
lures, director Maurice Tourneur
who staged the production Cor Art
craft, has carried out the idea of the
author in making the photoplay un-
dcrstandable.
The result is unique play of stu
pendous magnitude, in which is in
corporated the highest technique OF
PHI Geographic art, with multiple film
exposures requiring infinite care and
patience. Settings of colossal size and
ensembles of hundreds of people
make this photoplay mighty spec
tacular Offering in which the artistic
details have been carefully looked
after.

Mr.. Strand went short distance to
bring some straw, when large bull
that was loose in the yard took after
him. Mrs. Strand seeing this ran
out and called to him and the animal
turned on her, tossing her about
seven feet in the air and would per-
hAps have killed her had not the dogs
taken after him. AS it is she is suf-

TUESDAY WAS CONVENTION DAY
Non-Partisans, Republicans and DEM
ocrats Select Proposalmen

Tuesday of this week was COnven-
ton day and the noon train brought
in large size crowd of delegates to
attend the conventions to which they
were sent.
The Nonpartisans and Republicans
met in the court house while the Dem
ocrats met in Batterton & Bundles
office.
The proposalmen selected by the
Republicans to attend the State Con-
vention were: ]. d. Smull, Summit, S.
D.; S. NJ. Satire, Claire City, S. d. and
Mrs. Agnes Turner, Sisseton, S. d.
And the Democrats selected DIR j. A
Robertson, H. ]. Christensen and
Mickael Mickaelson.
The Nonpartisans had by far the
largest representation, for they more
than doubled the number of delegates
sent here by both the Republican and
Democrat factions.
The League Convention was called
to order by Chairman j. NJ. Hanson
and nominations were made to select
proposalmen to be sent to the state
convention to be held at Pierre. The
following were selected: Morris
Eggen, Hart township, C. M. Founder
Easter township and Carl Peterson
of Lake township.
A committee of five was appointed
by the chairman to act in conjunction
with the proposalmen sent to the
county convention and others inter
ested in the new party, to look the
county over to find the best men
qualified to be put on the ticket for
county and state officers. They will
look up prospective candidates
standing and beside if he is capable
of handling his Office if elected. In
this way it will eliminate the chances
of an incompetent candidate being
placed on the ticket. The committee
will meet on Tuesday, Dec. 8, at Sis
seton.
The convention was lively one,
and by all indications the farmers of
Roberts county are out to fight to a
finish and by the large representa-
tion they had on Tuesday it looks like
they will carry the county by large
majority in the final election.
The state proposalmen elected at
the county meetings are requested to
meet in Pierre on Monday, December
1, one day before the legal convention
to talk over policies for the League
for the coming year and to outline
plans for the campaign. All League
members who are not delegates are
requested also to be in attendance at
this informal meeting on December L
and take part in the discussions for
the welfare of the League. Prominent
League speakers will be present and
it will be we'll worth the time of any
Lacquer who can do SO to be present
at this loNe-feast of the clans. The
Locke Hotel has been rented for the
occasion and good accommodations
are assured all who attend.
