MUST GET MONEY
TO MEET DEFICIT

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. II. The
whole gang is here from Bishop
Lemke to Walter Thomas Mills. Mon
day night the forces Of Townley rail-
lied at the Mckenzie Hotel headquar-
tiers and jubilated over the naming of
the three new judges. But the PRIME
bit Of information is that the, expected
special session of the legislators will
be convened about October I.
Such is the information that comes
.rickling through the devious courses.
The Leak was very positive in his
statements. $,.s u & II
.sYou see its like this said the
Leak, '4they have got to call q spe-
,cial session in order to arrange for a
loan to pay the salaries and to meet
the million dollar deficit. Then be-
sides there is much important work to
take up. The woman's suffrage rati-
fcation sort Of has them guessing and
it will be lodged if possible. Minnie
Nelson won her Office by the vote Of
the women and, there's a question on
what the women would do to q state
ticket picked BY Townley. But the
main thing is to kill off Bill LANCER
and Carl Kositsky. And believe, me
they have the goods on 'em, or they
wouldn't start no impeachment pros
3ceedings. Take it from me, impeach-
ment Is one Of the main reasons for
the special session. /"
The Leak positively wouldn't tell
what constituted the goods. y

to be scared in the least. With all the

STUTSMAN COUNTY
men BREAK LAW

Jamestown N. D., Aug. 27.-Attor-
ney General William LANCER with As
sistant Attorney General Albert r..
Sheets, Jr., in company with the State
Enforcement League, and the States
Attorneys office descended on the law
violators of Stutsman county late yes
terday afternoon. AS result all of
the local Justices are in session; the
Sheriff and all his deputies are on the
go; the supply Of, Criminal Warrants
of Arrest at the local supply house is
exhausted, and the suspicious charac-
tiers in jamestown this afternoon are
wearing a worried expression.
The sum total of the law violators
uncovered by General Langer's flying
squadron total nineteen arrests.
The crimes for which arrests were
made run from selling cigarettes to
manufacturing Intoxicating liquors
for sale, and not only jamestown, but
towns all over the county have fallen
under the club of the law.
Medina has contributed two viola
tors Of the cigarette law.
Peter Kerner, q wealthy farmer
north Of Medina, was arrested on five
different counts, charging the manu-
facture Of Intoxicating liquor and its
manufacture for sale, maintaining a
place where Intoxicating liquors were
kept for sale, and maintaining a place
where persons were permitted to re-
sort for the purpose Of drinking intox-
icating liquor, and for maintaining a
common nuisance. Mr.. Kerner will
have his preliminary hearing today.
Two violators Of the cigarette law
were snagged at Spiritwood.
At jamestown a still was uncovered
which had supplied for the past year
and half the retail liquor trade in
and near its vicinity. Jacob Harlng
was arrested on five different counts,
ranging from maintaining q common
nuisance to manufacturing intoxicat-
ing liquor for sale. just prior to his
arrest Mr.. Haring agreed to supply
one Of his patrons to whom he had
just sold a quart Of peach alcohol with
fifty gallons Of the same product every
week to supply the liquor trade in the
surrounding counties.
Sam Rabinovitch, the proprietor of
the Consumers Supply House, a local
wholesale and retail grocery estab-
1ishment, at jamestown, was hauled
in for selling cigarettes, for keeping
place where Intoxicating liquors was
sold and for selling Intoxicating liquor
and for permitting persons to resort
to his place Of business for that pur-
pose and at the same time q paddock
was clasped on his door by civil m
junction proceeding begun in the dis
trict court.

This dawn of new, day is rather
amusing to say the least. One of our
friends was calling on farmer the
other day when the latter said: "Say,
if you run across girl who wants to
work send her here" You cannot get
a girl at any price to work on the
farm, replied our friend. "Why not" "
asked the farmer friend. Because said
our friend, "no girl is going to work
on farm from 10 to 16 hours day
when she can come to the city and get
better pay for working only 8 hours,
after which she can attend the movies,
go for an auto ride, etc. Then if she
should happen to develop corn or
get silver in hr fingr the state pays
her through its compensation act.
What inducements has girl to work
on farm undr these conditions. The
farmer grabbed up his pals and start
ed for the barn nodding his head Wig
orously as he went. He has just gotten
his think tank to working. When he
wakes up again he gets his tax bill
he will get another jolt. This dawn of
a new day comes high-but then let's
try it out.

to the disclosures made by the inves-

Of the largest SO far unearthed in this
state, with large quantities Of distilled
liquors on hand for sale.
There was several barrels Of fruits
of various kinds in the process Of fer
mentation, that had not as vet been
distilled. The container above the
fire was going at full blast at the time
the raid was made by the officers.

The Democrats are accusing the
republicans of muzzling the senate
chaplain so that he has been instruct
ed not to mention the league of ma
tons in his prayers at the opening
Of the United States sRate. The
democrats should not get so excited
over such small matter, they need
burned sight more prayers for them
selves than does that league Of ma
tons. They are not going to have
these fond mothers pray for them in
the next campaign like they did the
last time because "they kept us out
of war; The boys were all called
to war, consequently the democrats
will have to pray for themselves next
time.

If nonpartisan editors are to be
swatted in the jaw by Mr.. Wv, Lig-
gett every time they refuse to do the
bidding Of the pugilistic head of the
publicity bureau it is going to be hard
shedding for the league officials to get
editors to run their monopolized sheets
in the future. Editors who accept
these jobs for revenue only are not
frantically inclined to hold down po-
sitions that might get them licking
from the irate Liggett whenever he
took the notion. That Finley editor:
should have taken a column Of the
St. Paul bureau editorials and hit
him over the head with .it-they are
hard enough and full of bunk enough
to knock anybody out. -.

The regular headline on league
controlled paper: "Gang Prepares to
Fight Printing Law" Sure, why
shouldn't the independent press fight
such a rotten law as that. The rea-
son the league mouthpieces are max
ing such hullabaloo about the other
fellows fighting this law is because
they are afraid they are going to lose
the pap-without which they cannot
run only at a loss. These papers put
on their own merit along with the rest
Of US are not dividend bringers but
rather assessment bringers. That's
the reason for this holler about testing
out the new law.

For every three dollars the consum-
er pays for farm produce the farmer
gets only one dollar; the middleman
gets the other two dollars, says the
Enderlin Independent, a league organ.
BY the same token for every one hum
dred dollars the farmer pays into the
consumers store corporation the farm
er gets nothing while Friend Brinton
and the other fellows get the balance.
It is mighty easy figuring, isn't it?

A special session Of the Legislature
is coming soon, along about October
first, it is rumored. This has been
expected for some time and under the
extravagant administration Of the
present bunch now in power it is alb
lsolutely necessary to have this tospro-
vide money to meet the large salary
expense Of the state and to provide
money for million dollar deficit that
now confronts the state Of North .Da-
kota. These new vagaries come high
as put forth by these socialistic oper-
ators who are bleeding the state. But
then the people say let's try it out.
We are doing just that and the people
will have to pay the bill. Hop to it,
let's get enough while we are trying
it out. At any rate it is paying the
promoters who are drawing big sal
aries and holding down lucrative po-
sitions under this dawn of a new day
government. North Dakota had all
kinds Of good men here for years who
could fill these positions-worthy fel-
lows-but every time good job is to
be handed out it goes to some long
haired socialist from abroad. Lets
try it out.

The latest and novel phase Of the
industrial situation is the shortage Of
labor at the states prison at Still
water, Mimi, which causes the st.
Paul Dispatch to remark that the pen
itentiary population is falling off and
reduction is threatened in the out
put Of Irvine and machinery, to say
nothing Of the products Of the farm
conducted under state auspices. The
public sleep, we fancy, will not be dis
turbed by these alarming reports. The
economic effects of the thinning out
o. the prison population and the con-
seauent shortening Of production by
convict labor are not terrorizing. It
the theories Of the prohibitionists are
borne out We might as well prepare
for. the time when penitentiarfes will

reports to t board Of control are the
premonitory syptonas.

The mine workers Of the country
are now trying to get the mines ma
tionalized and want a thirty hour
week schedule with a ten hour pay.
Why not give the men the wages
without any work. That is about what
it will come to next. Five hours
day is ridiculous and the men are 60
ing crazy over this labor question.
Right is right, but it seems to us that
this is carrying the matter too far.
The miners and all other class OF labor
is entitled to good pay but they ought
to be willing to put in days work to
earn those wages.

" a year has elapsed since the armis-

CHANDLER COTTON GROWERS TO HEAR
 TALK ON MARKETS

CHANDLER, Jan. 3.--An important meeting of cotton growers of the Chandler district has been called for Monday afternoon, Jan. 6, at o'clock, in Monroe hall, for the purpose of hearing Dwight B. Heard, of Phoenix, president of the state council of de- fense discuss cotton marketing prob lems Mr. Heard will take up the matter of forming a selling organiza- tion, tell what the eastern mills want and the textile strength of our long staple as compared with other cot ton. The meeting will be called promptly at ? o'clock, as Mir. Heard has other points of the valley to cover before night, and it is necessary that everyone be on time in order to hear the vital matters up.
 At a meeting of growers last Fri day, some 45 farmers turned out.

Every farmer in the district is invited to hear Mir Heard netX Monday.

URGES STUDENTS ID
 C0 ID HIGH SCHOOL

MESA, Jan. 5-"No high school pupil in Mesa can afford to miss this full year." said Superintendent of Schools H. E. Matthews, yesterday in dis cussing the fact that a number of pupils, particularly of the freshman class, having found jobs, are not re- turning to school for the remainder of this term. MT. Matthews wishes it understood that while the full volume of school work will be cut down, all essential work will be com pleted under the pla nworked out and the boy or girl who stays out will be a full year behind the class. The superintendent in the course of his re- marks spoke of what the next ten years would hold for the fully equipped young man, and how unfortunate it would be for any boy to miss a veal from school now when the coming de- mand for trained men will far exceed the supply.
 As to health conditions. thus far there has been no sickness in the schools. Not a pupil has left the schools, due to influenza, since the reopening.
 A trained nurse is in constant at tendance and each day careful super vision of the pupils will prevent the at 1 tendance of any one who shows symp- l toms of illness or where any member 1 of the family is ill. Health conditions 1 in Mesa are such that all needless feal
 should be done away with. The healtf 1 department is on the alert for any re- appearance of the epidemic and thus
 far there is no occasion for alarm.

Cotton Price Now 56 Gents

Probably the best news that the Chandler cotton growers have heard in some time is that the market is open and that buyers are taking all the cotton they can get at 56 cents And the next best news is that the farmers gin is in almost full operation and turning out from IS to 20 bales every 24 hours.
 Up to December 2i, the Southwest gin had turned out 1527 bales and the Cotton Growers gin 12S bales Esti- mating the Chandler crop at 5000 bales of lint, it is safe to say that the local gins will be operating until next May or June before all this seasons crop is baled. To date less than one fourth of the cotton of the individual grower has been ginned, while the Southwest company has handled about 45 per cent of it's crop. Due to difficulty in getting labor the picking on the South west acreage is not as large a volume as on the individual grower, who has been able to get labor. due to the eff forts of the Central Cotton association.
 Aside from the lint held by the Southwest people Chandler farmers have sold 800 bales to date. The | market reached it's highest point in October, of 69 cents, and is down now to 56 cents. with the seed selling for $6G | per ton. An 1S00-lb. bale of seed cot ton gives the farmer about ,000 pounds of seed, which at the present market i gives him a gross return of $500 for ] each 500-lb. bale of lint. Ginning charges are $15.0O a bale, picking from to 1 cents, seed, planting and cul- i tivating from $50 to S10O peracre. ac- l cording to land and conditions.
