Letter to Son Says Nation
Still Battles on Four
Fronts; Truce Is Called
Mere Figure of Speech
Need for Help Is Urged
Soldiers Fight in Rags and
Barefootcd; Brutalities
of Bolsheviki Revealed

The story of the desperate struggle
that Poland is waging to preserve her
land and freedom from the onslaughts
of the barbarous Bolsheviki is told in
n letter written by Madame Helena
paderewsk, wife of the pianist and
premier of Poland, to her son, w. o.
Gorski of the Polish Victims Relief
Fund.
The first stage of the letters jour
ney from Warsaw to New York was
accomplished by courier. 1t was writ
ten on February 90, 1919, more than
three months after the armistice was
signed. Yet at that time Polish armies
were fighting on four fronts to protect
their nation.
"The life we are leading" writes
Nine. Paderewski, "is like a fairy tale.
Mr.. Paderewski stands at the head of
the government--Prime Minister and
Minister of Foreign Affairs. He has
the love of the whole nation, which
trusts him and regards him as savior.
And all around us are the Polish peo-
pie, the Polish army, the Polish gov
ernment and the Polish Assembly-and
our hearts and souls go out to God in
expressions of gratitude for having ac.
complshed this miracle-for a miracle
it is indeed"
Soldiers Fight Barefooted
War is raging on four fronts" the
letter continues. "Our wonderful SOL
diers, in rags, without shoes, often
times without even shirts on their
backs, hungry and cold, stubbornly re-
sist the onslaught of our enemies.
While our own boys frequently lack
weapons and shells, the Bolsheviski
around Bialystock, and the Ukrainians
in Galicia, are using poisonous gas in
their fight against the Poles. They
obtain it from the Germans, who also
supply them with arms, ammunition
and officers.
thousands of university and high
school students already have been
killed. Lemberg is still resisting, de-
Tended as it is by women and mere
boys. li-e spirit of it's defenders re-
mains unbroken despite the atrocities
committed Dy the UkralnlanS on capt
ared Polish prisoners. The other day
there were brought back from Lem
berg to Warsaw and placed in one of
the hospitals which | visit daily six
Polish nurses and four boy scouts.
They had had the misfortune of fall
ing into Ukrainian hands. The nurses
had been impaled and then, after few
hours of torture in order that their
agony might be prolonged, taken off
and thrown into a field to die at leis-
ure: The boy scouts had been tied to-
gether with barbed wire and buried
up to their necks in an isolated spot.

They. were rescued at great sacrifice

boys, | hope, will recover.

AUTO RACES AT

At a recent meeting Of the board of
directors Of the Barnes County Fair

$500 in purses for auto races, the same

was named to put the same over and
they already report much interest: j..
IL. Sampson, E. j. Pegg, and NJ. P.
Krogh. This is a live bunch and they
always put things across when they
agree to do so. The following is the
program. Band concert, plenty of mu'

WORLDS SHORT
ACE'OF FLAX

a careful survey Of the worlds flax
situation brings out the fact that the
shortage Of flax and linseed oil is the
most acute that it has ever been.
When North American crop comes in
to the market this fall the supplies
will be practically exhausted every
where. This should ensure a good
price. 5.. 1.555
1T is yet time to sow flax, few adj
d1tional acres on each farm will help
increase the returns next fall.
Linseed oil enters into so many Of
the industries now that shortage
causes trouble in manufacturing ar
ticles Of first quality. The investiga-
.tions undertaken to find out some SUBJ
stitute for linseed oil have not vet
brought out any product that will
take it's place.

One Of the laws passed by the last
legislature was in regulating the hours
of females" The law says that no
female, shall work more than eight and
half hours in one " nor more than
forty -eight hours in the week and not
at all on Sunday we suppose as they
cannot work over forty-eight hours,
1T seems to us that the word female
in the bill shows very little respect to
Womankind. But it was not that kind
of a legislature. It was one bossed
by a socialist fanatic and those kind
do not regard womanhood with any
high degree of Prospect. Socialism is
only the key to bolshevism and you
know how much bolshevism re-
spects the chastity Of woman in Rus
STA. If some Of our stores are using
a mare to haul the delivery wagon we
presume that as no female can be
worked over eight hours and half
in one day this applies to that mare
as she is a female. The old family
COW must not be allowed to manufat-
ture milk on the same basis and the
fox terrier mother with her litter sof
puppies must not work over time feed
ing these pups she is female. Those
new laws sent out blythe present adj
.ministration labeled the Dawn Of a
New Day in North Dakota" are right
~ named. It is a wonderful conglom-

laws. These league organizers and

To show that the farmers are not
paying much attention to the laws
passed by the late legislature but are
going on personal prejudice and what
the leaders tell them, is exemplified
in the way that they are taking hold
of the state hail insurance law. This
law is a purely farmers measure and
every dollar'of it remains in the state,
yet the farmers are withdrawing from
its regulations by the hundreds every
day, in Cass county alone $50 farmers
have refused to insure under its terms.
This is one of the laws that was pass

There is much talk about the raise
in taxes that will come under the pro-
gram being put forth BY the league
leaders and those in favor of these
measures tell sthe farmer that there
will be scarcely any raise at all. When
they make that stat ement they know
that they are rot telling the truth. If
we have to raise i've times as much
money to run the state government
next year than we did this year we
have got ito get this money by taxa
ton, haven't we !? And if we get this
money by taxation the farmer as well
as the business man will have to pay
for it, won't he? If you employ 800
more men to run your. state business
under The proposed plans Of the league
leaders and that is about the NUM-
Der of people it will take-it will cost
you in taxation as much increase as it
will be necessary to raise that amount
of money to pay 800 men or women in
stead Of 100 won't it? Or do they
pretend to tell intelligent people that
it won't raise taxation. Money does
not grow on bushes and it has to be
extracted from the pockets Of the dear
people. They are spending money
2recklessly at, Bismarck these days.
They paid one expert from Ohio
$500 for one months wages. Pretty
steep isn't it? The average farmer
works 365 days in the year for less
than they pay some imported socialist
for only one months work. Who pays
for all this extravaganza and where
does the money come from to pay
WITH. Does it come out Of the pock-
ets/of the non-tax paying Townleys,
Mills or like ilk, or do the people have
to pay it by increased taxation? The
answer is plain enough. Abusing the,
editor who is not going to stand for
this kind Of graft does not remove the
load from the backs Of the people.
Think it over. If you do not approve
