TALKING OVER
COMING PLANS

At an informal meeting of the state
executive committee of the Indepen-
dent Voters Association which was
held here yesterday, plans were laid
for a statewide conference of county
l. V. A. committeeman to be held
some time in November for the pur-
pose of considering policies and de-
veloping details of future activities
of the association. The conference
will be composed Of one man from
each county in the state, the present
state executive committeeman to serve
as members of that conference from
their respective counties. The other
committeeman are to be selected in
the various counties by those who
have actively aligned themselves with
the Independent Voters Association
prior to the time of the state confer
ence.
Organization work will be taken up
again in the field as soon as the bus
lest part of the farm work is over
with. There are thousands of farm
ers and business men in the state who
want to be identified with the Inde-
pendent Voters Association but who
"SAS uOt 1SoCA1SO NY 60AiACAS
before the primary election. The re-
suits of the referendum election are
sufficiently satisfactory to those who
took an active part in the election SO
that the sentiment is not only unani-
nous for, but very strongly in favor
of pushing the development of the or
gan:zation as rapidly as possible.
It was learned from the inspection
of the records of the association that
it already has more momentum as an
organized force than any independent
organization has had in the state ex-
cept the nonpartisan league when it
was at it's zenith. Money for member
ship fees and contributions to the sus-
tanning fund is coming in every day
in small quantities from some sections
of the state, even now, Immediately
after a strenuous election and in the
midst of busy season.

There was a rumor spread around
Friday night that one of Jacks taxis
had slid into the river while going to
the Chautauqua grounds with a load
of passengers. There is nothing to
this and no such accident happened.
The Times-Record did not think it Of
enough Importance to mention this
rumors at the time as we do not think
rumors constitute news. If we put
all the rumors in the paper we hear
about half our population would eth
err be in Jail or should be there. How
ever, somebody said Jack Aldrich had
bought US up to keep still so we make
this item. The editor can neither be
bought or intimidated.

WOMEN BLAMED
FOR STATE WAGE

Wages for harvesting in North Da-
kota are kept down because women
are invading the fields and taking jobs
that rightfully belong to men, accord
ing to David Deepen of Fremont,
Neb., who arrived in Fargo today with
the intention of going into the fields
at SIS for ten-hour day.
Mr.. Deepen, however, found North
Dakota farmers were Offering 81 a
day, and he's real angry about it.
''The war is over, and the women
ought to stay and do women's work."
he said this afternoon.
Five dollars for ten-hour day was
paid for harvest in Kansas and Ne
braska, he said.

Speaking about crab apples we
brought home a little branch from the
Northwest Nursery grounds the 9TH
er day that had been broken off by the
wind. On this little branch Of about
fifteen inches in length were thirty
seven fine crab apples. And on the
trees from which it was broken it was
simply loaded. Yes we can raise ap-
pies, all kinds of them, in North Da-
kota. Last year, one of our farmers
raised 200 bushels of fine crab apples
on his farm, it was Henry T. Lee,
who has a fine orchard and fine farm
south east of town. He had apples of
a larger variety, also.

A trip into the country round about
Nome soon convinces one that Barnes
county is a mighty thrifty spot to say
the least. In every direction around
this little city are the most prosper
Gus farmers to be found anywhere.
They have fine farms, good stock and
buildings, nice groves Of trees, good
crops and the whole country looks
prosperous. It is certainly a fine
farming country around there and
there are some mighty good farmers.
The editor visited with some of these
farmers yesterday, strong non-parti-
sans at that, and had fine time. We
discovered that they believed they
were right politically and they in turn
admitted we had right to our views
and so we got along very nicely and
had mighty fine visit with several
Of these farmers, enjoying the trip
immensely.

Nazimova's new production, "The
Red Lantern" which comes to the
Grand Theater, for three night start
ing tonight, will shed new and inter-
esting light upon the traits and Gus
toms of the Chinese. Looming large
in the story are number of celestials,
Buddhists at heart, but who have en-
brased Christianity, only to return to
their original faith when their hatred
of the white man is aroused. The
great mass of fact and fancy contain
ed in Edith Wherry's novel has been
supplemented by Miss Mathis and M.
Capellani with several weeks Of re-
search, so that every incident, every
customer, every racial habit or .preJu-
dice depicted upon the screen will have
the absolute stamp of historical and
chronological authenticity. -

President E. Lee Howard, of Fargo

that he is entitled to his ideas on this

agree on this league of nations affair
any more than we can on politics. The
league pact in it's present form is all
wrong. When we get it there will
still be twenty or more wars going on.

Just how much damage this will do

M. J. Boyd while at Atlantic City
recently went up in an aeroplane 22OO

says it did not rattle him little bit
neither did he lose his dinner on the

Of about 800 feet but that did not
bother him. He asked the pilot If he
had no other stunts he could hand out
but he did not get any. There IS
