thing of surprise to the friends of
the happy couple as they were sup
posed to be attending Lucky Bills

something of surprise to the couple,
themselves, as they lost a tire off a
borrowed car ON the way down. How
ever, all is well that ends wells. Al
though it was rather late in the even
ing they were soon tied and retired
and went their way rejoicing.

aBoLsHEvIsM IN AMERICA"

That is the theme under which p
E. Zimmerman, of Lindsborg, secre-
tary of the anti-Bo1shevik campaign
in Kansas, explained the workings of
the non-partisan league and its CON
nection with the I. w. VS. and kind
red disIoya1 organizations in the Unit
ed States. While the non-partisan
league organizers appeal first to the
farmers in a community there is no
lack of evidence to prove the connec-.
tions between the non-partisan league
and the other organizations mention
ed, according to the information fur
nished by Mr.. Zimmerman and also
by the records of the courts in the
ota and also by the records Of the
United States courts. While q great
many of the league workers and mem
bers in North Dakota are farmers and
honest men, the agitators and organ
izers of the non-partisan league are
mostly men and women of criminal
and disloyaI characters according to
the Information received and have
lrge court record behind them. Before
taking up with any of these organ
izers and before signing up the oath
to secrecy as is required, any farmer
and patriotic citizen should first con-
SIder these things:
The non-partisan league is not in
dorsed by Samuel Gompers the great
labor union preident of America.
The non-partisan league is not in
dorsed by Maurice McAuliffe president
of the Farmers Equity Union of Kan
sas.
A. c. Town1ey, national president
of the non-partisan league, has absol-
ute authority over the entire organi-
zation and all it CONTROLS and that
according to court records his per-
sonai wealth has been increased into
the millions through money collected
through the non-partisan leagues
The non-partisan league is allied
with the I. W. W.'s whose mem bers
are required to- take the following G.
oath:
ct do solemn1y swear that I hold in
supreme contempt, all institutions of
capitalism including ecclesiastical and
secular; and it's flag its courts, it's
codes, its churches and religions; that
I Will obey all SUNNI mons Of the elected
officials of this order under penalty of
death, and spare neither my time,
effort, or money to obey, even to the
last drop of my blood
Mr.. Zimmerman has Travelled a
great deal in North Dakota and has
followed up the workings of the nom
partisan, league and its connection
with Bo1shevism in Russia and in
America and reports positively that
there is decided connection. His
meeting at the court house was not
very well attended because of the
short notice it could not be given suf-
| ficient advertising but he is an inter
esting speaker and is thoroughly post
ed on his subject.

but bore his suffering bravely and
patiently and said just before passing
away that he was ready to meet his
God.
The funeral services were conducted
Monday by Rev G. r. Wade, of Wa
Keeney, and he was laid to rest in
the Ogal1ah cemetery.

RALPH KRISTOFi DIED AT
HOSPITAL

Many of the friends of Ralph Kris
tof and family were shocked the first
of the week when they heard Of his
death at hospital in Kansas City.
They had not even heard that he was
i'll, but the dreaded aff1iction of appen-
dicitis is a rapid worker and does not
give it's victims nor their friends
much warning of its approach Thus
it was with Mr.. Kristof and although
he had had other attacks of the all
ment they had not been considered
serious He was taken to Kansas City
a few days before his death and an
operation had been performed but the
disease had made such progress that
he could not overcome its effects.
Ralph Kristof was born In Trego
County on July 6, 1888 and died at a
hospital in Kansas City, Mo, on Aug
ust 3, 1919, at the age of So years
and % days, after being operated up
on for appendicitis from which he suf-
fered more or less for period of
years. In his passing away we loose
a good son, husband, brother and cit
izen. On the 9th of September 1910
he was united in marriage to Miss
Anna Benisch, of this county, and i'm
m ediately went to their new home at
Voda which he had prepared prior 20
their marriage. BhlS was one OF
Ralph's business methods by which
he made a success in all his. undertak-
ings and which enabled him to accuna-
ulate fair amount of property while
| yet a young man. His farm Fat Voda
| is a land mark for good improvement
and pure bred live stock
The body was brought home Sun
/ day night and the funeral services
were conducted from the Catholic
| church at Collyer Tuesday morning
| The remains were buried in the Cath
olic cemetery at Collyer, the funeral
being attended by many friends show
| ing the high esteem in which Mr..
Kristof was held The floral. off ferings
were beautiful and were presented by
Richard Owens and family, Mrs. II

Horak and family, Frank Benisch and
family, The Collyer State Bank, The

Benisch and the z. G. b. j. lodge.

WHAT THE THREsHER REVEALS


The various threshing machines
throughout the county continue to re
veal the possible income from the
small grain crop of 1919. The World
quoted a number of results last week
and will give a few more of them this
week which will complete any listed
report for this year
We reported last week that the field
at the northeast corner of Wa-Keeney
belonging to J. G. Hixson was max
ing four bushels per acre. Mr. Hixson
informs US that the yield for the field
was eight bushe1 of forty-eight pound
wheat
Joe Kutjna, in Riverside township,
had yield of fifty bushel of oats to
the acre but his wheat went very low
Bruce Furbeck and son. Earl
threshed 900 bushels of oats from 80
of wheat is reported very light in that
vicinity.
VIM. Brabb was IN from the east
part of the county the other day but
does not give a very enthusiastic ac-
count of the wheat yield in that vicin-
ity. It is yielding all the way from
two bushels per acre to ten bushels
with light test. Some of the wheat
is doing better.
Frank Edwards from the southeast
corner of the county says wheat is
yielding from four to twenty bushels
per acre in that vicinity, but that
there is plenty of twelve to fifteen
bushel wheat with a proable average
of fourteen or fifteen bushels with a
fair test.
Richard Owens, at Voda, sowed
thirty-four bushels of oats in his field
and threshed out 1884 bushels of good
heavy oats. This is the best yield we
have heard of.
Because there is so much straw to
handle for the amount of grain be-
ing secured, the threshermen are un-
able to set any certain schedule of
prices Some are charging 500 day
and furnishing a part of the help
Another rig is being run at fifty dol
1 lars per day and the farmer is fur
nishing everything but the boss and
iseparator man. Another machine Is
making good at seventeen cents PEI
busheI- The price has to be fixed ac-
cording to the yield the field is max
