Nelson Makes Statement
Secretary Nelson Of the I. v.
A. on the eve Of the Fargo meet
ing issued from state headquar-
ters in the Gate City the follow
ing statement, which is given
here for what it may be worth:
"'What will happen in Fargo on
October PIP I don't know land I
don't see that it makes any particular
difference so far as the Independent
Voters association is concerned.
"The meeting is a splendid move
on the part of the leaders of the Nom
partisan league to collect post-dated
checks and past due notes. It should,
however, not be necessary to work up
great condemnation demonstration
in order to get people into the mood
of paying their honest debts. But
then, that's one way of collecting
money.
"Of course there are many who
have given notes for store certificates
and newspaper stock who have al
ready discovered that in reality they
do not control the newspapers and
that they have not gotten value re-.
ceived for their store notes. Many Of
these are demanding their notes re-
turned instead Of offering to pay
them. When these notes are returned,
it is pretty good indication that Town
ley realizes that the people have not
gotten value received for them and
never will and that they would, there
fore, be pretty hard to collect in the
regular way.
Chain Store Camouflage
'The Consumer Store certificate
stunt is only camouflage way of
raising a campaign fund. Member
ship fees are getting scarcer for
Townleyism. That is why some sam
Piles of cloth, a pair Of shoes, a can
Of coffee and a smell Of molasses has
been brought into use as means by
which to get $4,000 instead of $1,000
out Of each prospect. Every $4,000
they get out of one man, makes up for
the membership fees that they used
to get out Of five men before.
"Townleyism's preaching and prac-
tice of hate and prejudice will be just
as threatening and damaging whether
the Scandinavian-Ame bank is
opened again or not. Townleyism's
standard Of honesty won't be any bet
ter. The industrial commission law
will still be the same certificate Of
political autocracy that it is now. The
Bank of North Dakota law as it now
stands interlocked with other laws, is
still a means by which worthless citi-
zens can come into possession of
money and property which they have
never earned and the pioneers of the
state who have worked and saved,
thus be made to divide up. The re-
opening of the Scandinavian-Ameri-
can bank will not restore to Minnie
Nelson the powers that have been
taken away from her.
What Facts Show
"Whether this bank opens or does
not open, or it's officers are punished
or not punished, it must be admitted
that the facts brought to light show
almost as brazen disregard for law
and for right and wrong as the. Le-
nine and Trotzky Bolsheviks of Rus
sia have ever displayed. In that re-
spect the Scandinavian American
bank affair does make difference to
the people Of North Dakota. There is
now all the more reason why those
who believe in government of, by and

Ten Cents Per Pound

1871 CENTS LOCAL PRICE
There is to be no prOfiteering
in sugar so far as this district is
concerned, announces O. W. Rob-
erts, district food administrator.
Complaints have reached his ears,
states Mr.. Roberts, and, in order
that the public may be fully in
formed as to when it has a legiti-
mate protest against prices
charged by retailers, the district
administrator advises that the
food administration allows re-
tailers a profit of one cent per
pound on sugar above the whole
sale price, which he states to be
12H cents. This would make the
legitimate local price for sugar
1874 cents.
Twelve and one-half cents per
pound would probably be fair
price for sugar delivered to the
doors of local wholesale houses.
If this is the primary price to
local jobbers, however, with
freight added. there would seem
to be marked discrimination in
favor of the general distributor
inasmuch as the new price at the
mill, fixed today by the govern
ment, is but ten cents per pound
for beet sugar.
However this may be, the pres
ent government price for sugar
in North Dakota would appear to
be 1874 cents, and Food Admins
traitor Roberts invites complaints
from any consumer in this dis
trict who is required to pay more.

amount would be regarded in viola
ton of the food control act.
Refners were asked to telegrap

would mean they would put the

The price to the wholesaler here
tofore has been nine cents so that til

RED DIVISION WIPED OUT

London, Oct. 20. A Bolshevik
division which was being rushed to

wiped out at Krasnoe-Sele when Gem
eral Yudenitch took that outpost to

viseS.

RED DIVISION WIPED OUT
(By Associated PreSS)

The Bolshevik hold upon Petrograd,
which although repeatedly reported
captured was still in Bolshevik hands
at last reports from accepted sources,
is fast weakening, and the fall of the
city seems imminent according to
today's official advises from the Brit
ish, war office. ....
kronstad, the great island fortress
defending the old capital from the
sea side, capitulated Friday, and there
is nothing now to prevent the ad-
vance OF the Esthonian troops along
the shore to Petrograd, which the
fortress guns thus far held up.
BOlsheylki Shut Out
Bolshevik reinforcements which
Troskty announced were being rushed
to the defense of the city now must
be detrained a full days march from
Petrograd and if approaching from the
south must fight their way into Pet
rograd through serious opposition as
shown by the destruction of a Boil
shevik division in the vicinity OF
Krasnoe-Selo n
Nothing is known of the fate of the
battle fleet the remnants of6 which
have been lurking in the shelter OF
Kronstad but if as seems possible
from the dispatches the fortress fell
not as the result of assault and
landing but by surrender from within
the spirit of the Garrison probably
is shared by the ships crews COM
posed of the same element.
Fall of kranstad
The fall Of Kronstad is vastly i'm
portant not only strategically but also
for it's effect on the Bolshevik morale.
1t has been considered impregnable
from attack from sea or land and the
members of its sailor Garrison have
been from outset of the revolution
the stoutest supporters of the cause.
Now that it's formidable guns are
silent the allied destroyers can pass
farther up the bay toward Petarograd
about 20 miles away and can support
the advance of troops along the coast
to points directly in the rear of Boil
shevik forces defending Petrograd
from the south. ..
London, Oct. 2O.-Petrograd is vir-
tually isolated the war office an
nounces today, anti-Bolshevik cavalry
having cut the railroad leading from
Petrograd to Vitebsk, Moscow and
Vologda. The Petrograd-Vitebsk road
is out at Viritza and the Petrograd-
Moscow railway at Tosna south and
southeast of Petrograd respectively.
The line at Velogda is out south OF
Lake LadOga.

Pskoy Under Bombardment

The war Office further announces
that Pskov, the important railway
junction town about so miles south Of
Petrograd, is under bombardment by
the Esthonian troops. Petrograd is
reported to be preparing for a siege.
Machine guns are posted to command
the principal streets and supplies of
food are being brought into the city.

REPORTS CONTRADICTORY

Paris, Havas Agency, Oct. 2O.-Con-
Trajectory reports are received from
Russia. and it is impossible to confirm

certain, however, that the Yudenitch
troops are advancing and must be at

SCHOOL pIEASES.

Thursday night the Spanish de-
partment of the high school gave Its
annual Spanish program. The first
part of the program consisted Of mu-
sc by the high school orchestra and
a Spanish dance by ten girls. It goes
without saying that the music was
good The dance was wen executed
and altogether charming and grace
full
The play, q two-act comedy, was
called "Dona Clarines." The part of
the stately Dona Clarnes was very
well portrayed by Irene Seward.
Laura Wisenberg in the role of Mar
celia, the beautiful orphan niece OF
Dona Clarines, played her part we'll.
Walter Hernandez was the ardent
lover of Marcia. Paul Dannevik
played the role of the dignified doc
tor. Lujan, and Don Basilio Dona
Clarinas' ne'er do well brother was
we'll played by Max Salazar. Louise
Sherman. Nerio Macs, and Louis
Hernandez were the well trained
servants. All of the characters took
their parts we'll and displayed con-
siderable talent, but the one who
made a name for herself In the play
was Manuelita Chavez in the role of
Tata, the officious old servant who
had lived with Dona Clarinas for
years. Between acts Helen Porter
field gave a Spanish dance.
In spite Of the fact that the unns-
al storm made things little unplea
SAINT for both audience and actors
there was a good house and the af-
far was decided success.

In spite of wind and weather, the

was attended by the faculty en- masse.
1t might have been because of the

that they had such an unusually en-

been simply that the members of the
faculty are all good fellows or a
little of both, at any rate the eve

and Mrs. ]. s. Landers sang some so
