BILLINGS COUNTY
FARMER NOT FOOLED

Belfeld, N. D.. H. Gibson, a
young farmer living north of this city,
and one of the most ardent anti
Townley men in that section, has lost
two crops, and feels blue as a conse-
quence, but judging from the follow
ing little paraphrase circulated To-
cally, he sees no remedy for hard luck
in the Townley -Brinton-M Mills regime:
Lamentations!
Backward, turn backward, 0 Time in
thy flight,
Back to the days before money was
tight;
Back to the time when the good farm
er's toll
Filled up the Golfers and made the
pot boil!
Back to the time when his holiday
leisure
Was filled to the brim with both
prospects and pleasure;
Back to the time when most any old
clown
Could thumb up enough greenbacks
to paint up town!
Those were the days of the plenteous
rains,
With never a hot wind to dry out
the plains;
When never grasshopper hoped in
our fields,
And never a cut-worm depleted our
a yields!
O say; will those happy times ever
again
Come to use toil-burdened children
of men?
"Hope springs eternal" when applied
to the weather,
So, let's hops for that crop that will
pull US together!" "
Yes, Yes, we've been told by both
Townley AMI Mills,

balm of our ills,
But A CROP is the remedy, Town
ley's a sell.

SECRETARY GLASS
IN LOAN. TALK

Minneapolis, March 18.-The eyes
of the entire nation will be on Mime
apolis the night of March 20, when
Secretary of the Treasury Carter
Glass will officially open the Victory
Liberty Loan campaign with a speech
at the Better Business convention.
AS the successor Of William G. Nc
Adoo in the treasury portfolio, Mr..
Glass has been the object of more in
terest than any other cabinet official.
For this reason, financial men and the
country generally, are anxious to hear
the keynote speech of the Victory
Loan campaign from the lips Of the
man most competent to discuss it.
No intimation has been given from
Washington as to what tact the sec
rotary will take in his Minneapolis
address but it seems certain that he
will devote much Of his time to the
reasons why America must finish the
job for the boys in khaki.
Elaborate plans for the entertain
ment of the secretary are being pre-
pared. The Victory Liberty Loan COM
mittee, officials of the Better Bust
ness convention, the Minneapolis Civic
and Commerce association and the
Democratic State Central committee
will perhaps all take a hand in max
ing Mr.. Glass stay in the twin cities
an agreeable one.

fcially as the opening of the drive for
funds found the Ninth District ready.
Chairman A. r. Rogers has his big
| organization running smoothly in ev-
cry county and he announced today
that another month would find every
4 department ready for the most spirit
ed campaign that America has ever
/ seen.
Mrs. Allie LETTERS Of the N. P. depot,
| has received word that her son Laird,
who is at Harvard University taking
a radio course, is getting along very
nicely, and likes his work. In a re-
cent examination, Laird stood the
highest in a. class Of 35, which news
| will be of interest to his many Valley
/ City friends. Laird recently enlisted
in the navy and was in camp at San
! Diego, when he was sent to Harvard
\ University.

If all that the Fargo Courier News
says in regard to these ratification
meetings being held around the state
endorsing the action of the state leg
islature in it's rank legislation and ex-
pensive program is true, then there is
no use trying to get any Of the laws
referended. The C. N. daily recites
that from one or two counties have
endorsed the league program of ex-
cessive taxation. 1t evidently takes
cue from the speakers and like
these speakers are trying to bolster
up the morale of the rank and file of
the league by rosy reports Of meet
ings, etc. It rather puts US in mind
q the German high command during
the late unpleasantness. They kept
on sending out rosy reports Of how
soon they were going to defeat the
allies in a vain endeavor to bolster up
the morale Of the soldiers, while they
positively knew that they were being
licked good and plenty. So it is with
the league newspapers. They knew
that all over the state the people are
deserving their cause so far as their
high finance program, newspaper pro-
gram, educational bill, etc., is con-
cerned, and the only thing these pa
pers can do is to try and keep up this
morale. But as matter of fact they
know they are losing out.

are right or wrong and all that is
needed is to let them have chance
to say so. We see no need to cover
up anything unless there is something
crooked about this legislature. Isn't
this fair attitude to take? Are we
to be condemned by a bunch of hot air
promoters because we are asking a
square deal for the whole people as
we'll as for ourselves? We are just
as vitality interested as anybody. We
have just as much taxes to pay.
If the people of North Dakota real
ly believe in the referendum which
they fought so hard for all these years
and which they now have, they should
have no hesitancy in signing the pc
titions to refer these obnoxious laws
to the voice Of the people. Let the
people rule has been the league slogan
up to this time. Now they have SEEM
ed to recede from that position and
their slogan is "the people be damned,
let the bosses rule" If these new
laws are all right they should have
no fear from the people. In signing
the petitions no one votes for or
against the laws at issue. The sign
ing simply gives the people chance
to hear the merits and dement's Of
the bills threshed out then later they
can vote to approve or otherwise as
they see fit. This is the only real way
for the people to rule. Is not that fair
enough? The bosses are breaking
their backs trying to get the people
not to sign the petitions. What is
there to hide from the people.

operating chain of a dozen dry
goods stores throughout Colorado
and western Kansas, had bought
the SchloO & Bender dry goods
store of Brighton and that Mr.. COT
fin would soon assume personal
management of the newly acquired
business.
Mr. Coffin was expected home
from Brighton last Sunday but
business details have detained him
and he has not yet arrived. The de-
Darture of Mr.. Coffin from Holly is
a matter OF sincere regret by both
business and social circles in Holly,
as well as surprise.
1t is not known here just who will
succeed Mr.. Coffin as manager of
the Holly store nor how soon the
family will move to Brighton.
