April is here!

The following verse, IT'S Sweet to
Love, from a contributor to The Phil
adelphia Inquirer" is probably more
symptomatic of spring than concretely
about it. And yet-but here it is:
Why should blush 10 o1on I lore?
It's lore that rules the realms above.
Why shouid I blush to sag to all
That Virtue holds my heart IN TRIAL?
Why should seek the thckest shade
Lest Love's dear secret be betroyd2
Why the stern broaO deceitfM more
When I'm languish,ng 1cith lore2
Is It weakness thus 70 dDceu
On passion that dare not tcu2
Such 1cedkness would ever prove:
It's PAINFUL though It's sroeet to Lore.
D. Henry Kelnan.
Spring has arrived in Detroit on good
schedule, according to c. A Smythe.
contributor IS The Detroit Journal:
The Snrtng IS here, the skies are blue
And robins home returning,
Doth make the heart rejoice once more.
For Spring time ever ycar7,tng.
1t takes me back to other sprtngs
So long gone by
When hearts t0ere goung and life ,pas
gay
And deep blue t0os the sky.
'TlUcs then ne sought the ltolet blue
In messy dell
The speckled thrush did sing orev
HIS loue to tell.
The primrose pale and 1lolet blue
Doth bridge the gears
And brings me home each Spring to you
In Aprils tears
Yes, Spring IS here, the skies are blue
And robins 1ohistIe gay.
SO hon1eW0rd, too, my heart is bound
This sunny April day.
The fields of fauna and fora and
solar phenomena apparently have been
adequately explored by the spring poets
Of 1919. And the lightning of inspira-
ton, as usual, seems to have struck
equally between male and female verse
makers.

He Should Be Inside

According to a dispatch, General Luden-

up the pen. The pen is what he is fitted
for, undoubtedly, but he should be inside
of it, for awhie-for the rest of his life,
at least.-kansas City Journal.

MCDONNELL HAS
CHARGE OF AUXILIARY

Miss Amy Edmunds has been called
to st. Paul and in her absence the
work of the Woman's Auxiliary will
be handled by Miss Rose Mcdonnell.
Miss Rose Mcdonnell has been en-
ployed by the League for two years.
She is thoroughly acquainted with
League work and League principles,
and is a sister-in-law of Howard Wood
Lieutenant Governor of North Dakota.
Without the aid of organizers the
Woman's Auxiliary has grown spon-
taneously into a body having more
than 1900 members and new member
ships are coming in from all part of
the state. The purpose Of this move
ment is to educate the League women
in the new duties of citizenship that
will soon be conferred upon them and
to hold the women vote of the state
the League. Any women in sympathy
with the Nonpartisan League may
join by sending her name and address
and 81 to Rose Mcdonnell, Women's
Auxiliary, Box 919, Fargo, N. D. This
dollar is one years payment for men,
bership. When five or more have join
ed they are entitled to organize a club
and to have a club number.

DAMMING THE MOUSE

A number Of persons having made
inquiry regarding the legality Of the
damming Of the Mouse, we wish to
state that the McHenry County peo-
pie through their representative, F.tE.
Lazier of Barton, introduced H. B. 1853
at the last Legislative Session, which
after being considerably amended be-
came a law legalizing the dammingaof
'tany non-navigable stream"
Bottineau County members support
ed the measure. Personally I think
the bill could be improved on by leav-
ing the control Of the project in the
hands of the County COMMISSIONERS.
The law is too long to print in the
local paper but anyone wishing to Wee
it may do so at my place.
Very truly yours,
J. G. Miller, Souris.

MOB DUCKS u.
N0NPARTlSAN
REPORTER FOR LEAGUE PAPERS
TOLD HE ISN'T WANTED
AT STATE SCHOOL

A yelling mob of University of
North Dakota students composed of
sons of Nv. A. leaders, sons of bank
ers, politicians and merchants, threw
Maurice Smith, a reporter for the
Grand Forks American, and a student
OF the university, into a stream of wa
ter running through the state u~niver-
slty grounds, kept him in the stream
with paddles, pelted him with mud,
and forced him to duck his head in the
mud, because he is a supporter of the
Nonpartisan League, Friday night fol-
lowing a stag mixer of the students.
1T isn't because we have anything
against you," the mob leader said to
the student who was thrown into the
icy water. "It's because you believe in
the Nonpartisan League, which isn't
right. You are about the only one n
the school who does, and we don't want
you around. You're working for the
wrong gang and the wrong paper"
Smith is a lad of about 10. He is a
second year student in the College Of
Liberal Arts and is working his way
through school by acting as reporter
for The Grand Forks American. Dur
ing the summer months he was Bis
marck correspondent for the League
publications. At various times he has
been out with Nonpartisan League
speakers and has made addresses to
groups of farmers in different parts
of the state, and has made MANY
friends for the university among the
farmers.
Almost all of the men were men,
bers of the four fraternities at the
university. The Sigma Chi's were the
predominant organization.
The leaders of the mob were ice
Morrison, son of Joseph Morrison, a
banker-farmer politician, and Ralph
Stewart, son of a Drayton grain deal
er, companion of Morrison. Others in
the group were Clifford Danielson, son
Of an Enderlin banker; Alan Gray, son
Of a'Grafton lawyer; Earl Moultrie, of
Valley City; James Cassel, son of a
Hope banker; J. Lynch of Lidgerwood,
formerly the university reporter for
the Grand Forks Herald; Elmer We
mas, son of ]. Wenaas, retired; Ken
meth Graves, Grand Forks; Min Hin
Lee Of Honolulu, n of the two Chi
nese students at the university; Her.
man Eickhof, Grand Forks; George D.
Brekie, son of a Dickinson real estate
man.; 10y Belyea, Bottineau, and
Franklin Phelps, Grand Forks.

BUY AT HOME

Don't you feel the spell of our old
town? It is u home, u refuge.
Sometimes we feel the charm of the
place so intensely that we wonder why
anybody lives elsewhere. But all ex-
perience the same sentiment about
their own home town.
The aim is to build it up-to make
it larger, richer, happier for ourselves
and our children.
This you can only do by being
faithful to its interests-by buying
things you need from your local mer-
chants. They deserve your patronage
the distant mail order houses don't.
Then quit using their catalogs and
magazine advertisements a your
store.
When you send money away from
your town, it never comes back. When
you spend money in your town., the
chances are that it will again find its
way into your pocket.

HAY

If you need hay, NOW is the time
to get it. If we wait much longer the
Montana buyers are going to grab off
all the hay they a get with the re-
suit that we will not only have to go
farther for our hay, but will have to
pay a good deal more for it than now.
There is a farmer in, the county who
has been offered $500 per ton for
his hay F. O. B., but rather than do
that he is willing to sell it to Bottin-
eau county farmers, realizing that hay
viii have to be shipped IN anyhow,
for $1,000 per ton in stack. There is
about 300 tons, and can be hauled
without gc1ng 10 the expense Of hAt-
ing it baled.
We also have a line on several tons
more that can be gotten at a reason
able figure, but if we don't hustle
someone else will grab it and it is a
safe guess that any hay bought after
the snow flies will cost a lot more
than it does now. Get your order in
now. y
There is a great deal Of straw avail
able in Ramsey County. You can either
get it baled or 60 there and bale it.
It is advisable for a number Of farm
ers to get together. and 60 there and
bail it for themselves.

CARD OF THANKS

In appreciation in the weak way in
which words convey our thots, we wish
to express our heartfelt thanks to the
many friends, who, during the long
sickness and passing of our beloved
son, Paul, spent many hours watching
at his bedside, who gladdened his last
days with fruit, books and tokens
of remembrance, who attended the last
sad rites, and covered his last resting
place with flowers. When occasion Of
fers we will pass your kindness on and
we trust that when such affliction is
yours, you may never lack for friends.

STATE Mill
SHOWS UP STEAL
BIG PRIVATE INTERESTS TAKE
EXTRA $2.75 PER BARREL
BY MIXING GRAINS.

How the state flour mills will save
the producers and consumers at least
$2.75 per barrel of flour on one single
little item is n Of the discoveries
that has resulted already from the OPP
Grafton Of the state mill at Drake.
Experience with the Drake mill, ac-
cording to Manager J.. A.. McGovern
Of the Mill & Elevator association, has
shown that the big millers ar selling
as their highest grade Of flour a mix
ture containing just enough North Da-
kota hard wheat to permit the millers
to appease their consciences when they
palm it off as flour ground from No.
1 Northern. Only one bushel Of wheat
is used to two bushels of soft grains.
This is the way it works out to the
enrichment of the millers taking last
Wednesdays prices: One bushel of No.
1 Northern at $2.75 and two bushels
Of soft wheat at 1922 and $2.17 totals
$7.14 per 100 pounds. The cost to the
miller is 3.91 cents. But the mill sells
the flour on the basis of its containing
nothing but SITS wheat, which aver
age ass cents per pound. On 436
pounds of wheat necessary to make a
barrel of flour the mills picked up ION
this particular day $2.79 at the ex-
pense Of producers and consumers
The Drake Mill is paying for wheat
absolutely on the basis of the value
of the flour the wheat makes, and it's
selling the flour to the consumers ab-
solutely on the basis of what it actu-
ally pays for the wheat that goes into
the flour. This is the plan the state
flour mill will follow, says Manager
McGovern.

You will notice by the above table
that the Kubanka has an average yield
of almose A bushels better than the
Aranutka, which is the common Dur
UNI. Kubanka is an Amber Durum, the
head is short and compact, the ker-
nels set close together and in good
years will usually develop six rows
while the ordinary durum seldom has
more than four row Of kernels and
has a more open head.
So far, the Kubanka has been very
rust resistant, but it will rust some,
especially if sowed late in the spring.
Several carloads of this wheat has
been secured in Cavalier County, SO
if you want some, put your order in to
