In answer to your call for names of

I will say that it may pay someone

could take a few, but to the south

of vacant land waist high with feed,
peavine popple bush and different
grass. The land belongs to nonresi-
dents. I know the address of some of
them. If any one comes around look

HAIL INSURANCE

The season Of loss from hail in
North Dakota is almost over and
5000 claims have been filed. The cost
of these will not exceed $1,5O0, 900.
This will make the state hail insur-
ance cost about 18 to rs cents an acre,
which is immensely lower than the 70
cents or 81 insurance the private COM
panies have been charging. The farm
ers who were frightened out of the
state fund because of the lies of the
gang papers and politicians, who said
it would cost so cents an acre, prob
ably will learn not to believe the false
reports printed in the organs of the
insurance and big business interests.

the pasture this summer. Have an
unlimited supply of good water and
would guarantee to furnish both wa
ter and grass until the first or middle
of November for that number, and
would take them at so cents per head
per month, owner to furnish man and
horses to look after them inside the
pasture, about six miles square and
all fenced in, and we would board him,
etc., free of charge. These are the
terms we had them under last year.

WALTER THOMAS MILLS

Addresses are to be delivered in Grand Forks today
by Walter Thomas Mills. a professional Socialist worker.
whose activities have brought him into some prominence
in this and other countries. Mr.. Mills is under indict-
mont in the Federal courts on a number OF charges in
volving disobedience to law and defiance Of the Ameri-
can government at a time when tho loyal SUPPORT Of all
persons in the country was Of the highest importance.
The charges against Mr.. Mills have been supported by
evidence sufficiently weighty to convince representative
men such as Federal grand jurors that grave crimes have
been committed. and that Mr.. Mills committed. them.
In due time Mr.. Mills will be tried upon the merits of
the case. He will be confronted by his accusers and will
witnesses to place before the jury his own defense, and
upon tbs decisien Of the jury and the court will depend
Mr.. Mills future status. either that OF a free man or I.
convicted fslon.
1t would be idle t, attempt to influence Mr.. Mills,
or thoss who are backing him. by any suggestions with
reference to questions Of good taste. To most people the
ordinary dsceneise would seem to require that an in
,~dividual who has been indicted on tho charges Of 4 com
mission Of sravs crimes should abstain from public All
tGtion and from unnecessary public appearance until hr
case has been decided by q competent court. Such 4
suggestion would have no influence With Mr.. Mills or
those OF his kind. Mr.. Mills himself under indictment
has been - active in his propaganda work a. before. and
~ was he who appeared a. the guide and council Of those
who framed much OF the legislation enacted at Bismarck
during the past session. Those who share his sentiments
have followed similar courses. Mrs. o'Hars, Dsbs, HAY
