ENTHUSIASTIC MEET
HELD At FARGO

Organized farmers of North Da-
kota Tuesday in Fargo struck their
grimmest blow at bank wreckers.
traitors to the people and monopo-
listic parasites that would destroy
their united credit for the one pur-
pose of holding a. free people down.
The greatest meeting in the grip
ping history of the Nonpartisan
league indorsed and put up cash to
make the Scandinavian-Ameri
bank of Fargo, the farmers bank,
which Attorney General LANCER and
Secretary Tom Hall with tho special
interests back of them hoped to
close and break the Nonpartisan
league-they, the farmers of North
Dakota, agreed to make that insti-
tuition the biggest bank in the state
aside from the Bank of North Da-
kota in Bismarck.
The purpose of the meeting was
to show to the world that the people
here stand back of their institu-
tions in such solid, unbreakable
formation that special privilege can
not break them financially nor shat
ter their morale. Three demon
strations of the earnest determine
tion of the farmers to show the
world that they had achieved that
result were evident. .,
The first two took place immed-
lately after the afternoon and even
ing meetings. Farmers crowded
down the aisles to the front Of the
auditorium where clerks were wait
ing and bought stock in the scandi-
navian-American bank in hocka.
The same performance was repeated
in the evening.
But perhaps the greatest proof of
the solidarity of the organized farm
ers was apparent Tuesday night.
Fargo was treated to the spectacle
Of a bank open at midnight with
crowd packing the floor until there
was hardly breathing space. And
as fast as O. E. Lofthus, state ex-
aminer, and his enlisted assistants
could take in the money, tho farm
ers were pouring in deposits. Tho
rush of stock subscriptions as we'll
as of deposits was so great that at
a late hour officials of the bank gave
up hope of checking Tuesday night
the amount of money that had been
poured in.

HALL PREMIUM NOT !.
TO EXCEED Is CENTS

The state hail insurance indem-
nifty assessment in North Dakota
will not exceed Is cents an acre
this year and it may not be over %
cents an acre. These figures are
based on complete reports from ev-
cry county in the state but one
compiled by Insurance Commission
er s. A. Olsness. They are 10 and
1S lower than Mr.. Olsness' former
estimate of 35 cents and represent
hail insurance cost to the farm
ers of not more than one-third of
what corporation hail Insurance.
would cost them. 5
No one was more surprised, by
these. figures than Mr.. Olsness him
self. His former calculations had
been influenced by the mis-state>
ments in the I. v. A. press. One of
these statements was to the effect
that fully SO per cent of the. land
under cultivation had been with
drawn by the farmers from the
protection of state hail insurance.
This would have meant that only
5000, 900 acres would .have been
left upon which to levy an assess.
ment to pay hail insurance. Fig
ures for all the counties except
Mountrail show that 12,50O,O00
of cultivated land have not been
withdrawn. 1t is particularly GER
tain that Mountrail county reports
will swen the land left under the
state hail insurance to 13,OOO,OOO
acres. This will reduce the assess
ment rate to % cents an acre. This
is less than one-third of what pri-
vate hail insurance would cost.
What this means Is told by MT.
Olsness himself:
II want to say, "began Mr.. OILS
ness, 'I'that we certainly are pleas
ed with the results of the first years
operation Of the new law. It has
proved several things. 1t has
shown that state insurance Is prac-
tical, that it Is cheaper than private
insurance and that some of our
friends Of the opposition and their
newspapers were deliberately wan
sdering from the truth last spring
when they tried to stampede the
farmers before the referendum elec-
ton.
"You ask me to compare the

companies. Well, sir, the differ
ence is so; great chat there is no
comparison. SSts .sl5
III they had written the insur-
ance ON the same basis as the state,
insuring up to Sc an acre in all To-
calities, their. premiums would
have been 10, .Der cent or 20. cents.
Yet with premium of rs cents the
state can meet all losses of its de-
partment and lay up surplus OF
$150,000. That is one difference.
IF the. line companies had writ
ten the insurance this year on the
100000 acres on the same basis
as the state, they would have left,
after paying the same losses the
state must pay, just about $500,
900 in profits, minus the small cost
OF administration. To me that
seems to clearly explain why the
companies did all they could to him
der the workings Of the state law
and why the opposition to the farm
ers movement tried to make the
hall fund failure,

DOCTORS FIND
REMEDY FOR
COLDS AND FLU
CalOtabs, The New Nausealess Gallo
mel, Cuts Short Colds and Prevents
Flu by Keeping Liver Active.

Physicians have learned from eX-
perience, during the epidemic of infiu-
enZa, that one of the most important
factors in the prevention of fiu and
pneumonia is to keep the liver active,
so that the digestive organs may be
in perfect working order and the sys-
tenn thereby enabled to throw off colds,
check sore threats, and resist serious
complications. For this purpose they
have found that the new, nausealess
calOmel, called Calotabs, is far more
effective even than the old style cal
omel, which was formerly the univer-
sal favorite, as Calotabs do not weak
en- nor salivate the patient, nor inter
fere with the appetite and digestion.
At the first sign of a cold or sore
throat, doctors recommend one Gallo
tab at bedtime with a swallow of wa
ter-that's all. No salts, no nausea,
nor the slightest interference with
your diet, pleasure or work. Next
morning you wake up feeling fine, your
liver is active, and your appetite is
keen for a good breakfast For your
protection Calotabs are sold only in
original sealed packages, price thirty
five cents. All druggists recommend
and guarantee Calotabs. Remember,
your money back if you are not glad
you bought Calotabs. adv

Daily Health Talks
l. URIC ACIp INA THE SYSTEM
BY LEE H. SMITH, M. d.

BY LEE III. SMITH, M ID. y
Uric acid is now generally recognized
as the cause of more diseases than was
heretofore believed. When the kidneys
are out of order uric acid accumulates
within the body in super abundance.
The disordered kidneys do not filter
the poisons out of the blood, as they
ought to do, and so the polsons remain
IN the blood and float around until
they find place to lodge, 10 form of
urate salts. The thing to remember Is
that you may have rheumatism in any
part of the body-you may have pains
anywhere - your back may ache and
your head may be dizzy = but the
trouble is not where the pain appears.
The trouble is in the kidneys, and
what is the first thing to do? You must
get that excess uric acid out of your
system, vnlSh can be done by taking
Anuric Tablets, the splendid remedy
which Dr.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,
has put on sale in the drug stores at
a low price. Anuric Tablets (made
double strength), when taken into the
system as medicine, have the peculiar
power of dissolving the uric acid de-
posted there. Drop bit of sugar or
salt into hot water, and it will dis
appear. In precisely the same way do
these Anuric Tablets dissolve uric acid.
Of course, after Kidding the system of
uric acid, it may return again unless
you eat the right foods and live the
right kind of life, but DIR. Pierce wiii
advise you fully on proper food and
eorress living if you write and ask
him. He makes no charge for such
advice. Take Anuric Tablets to-day,
By all means, and get that uric acid
out of your system. Don't, don't,
don't, put the matter off.
