The need for a constructive educa.
tional news campaign participated in
by every Independent newspaper in
North Dakota was urged. A motion
was passed unanimously pledging sup
port to a news bureau to be establish
ed in the capital city. Earle H. Toste-
vim of the Mandan Daily Pioneer, now
serving as state inspector in charge Of
the license department, and who had
been elected secretary of the Press AS
ISOLATION was instructed to supervise
this new department. The executive
committee will make arrangements
for the hiring Of adequate help and the
service will be started at once. The
secretary was instructed to see that
reports sent out were unbiased, uncol-
ored and absolute fact-new in the
purest definition of the word. This
news bureau will serve all newspa-
pers regardless of size to the limit
of their requirements.
Resolutions adopted at the close of
the session carried many vital points

editor pledged himself by roll call
vote. The resolutions were as fol-

of the situation in this great common

MORE LEAGUE PRESS KNOCKS

Last week the Stutsman County
Press was filled, as usual, with an
assorted lot of knocks against James
town business men, including Of
fcials of the city and county. Peo-
pie have learned to expect these edi-
torial and news diatribes as the
standard guage of journalism which
that Nonpartisan organ exhibits in
the interests of the farmer. Any
trif1ing pretext that can get twisted
into use, or invented, if necessary is
taken up for the purpose Of creating
an antagonistic feeling between the
townspeople and the farmers. This
appears to be the sole mission of the
paper acting on the theory that the
cause Of the farmer is advanced pro-
v;ded the people of the towns can be
discredited.
In line with this policy, about every
thing in Jamestown has come in
for knock, from the churches, the
officials, attorneys, business men, to-
private individuals. Last weeks is
sue contained reflections on the Com
mercial club, the Jamestown garage
men, the new bank, and with anus
ing Inconsistency, praised Big Bus
inesss corporation at the expense of
local dealers in gasoline and oils.
The county tax supervisor is knocked
for having been appointed to a posi-
ton with salary attached which was
made necessary by a new Nonpartisan
law, enacted to see that people paid
more taxes. Of course the Jamestown
Alert, along with the others, comes
in for it's share. The latest charge is
an unfounded statement taken from a
Valley City Nonpartisan organ, that
the Alert had refused employment to
a returned soldier. AS the Alert has
already given employment to two of
it's former employees who were in the
service, and offered employment to a
third, which was declined, to take a
job on Nonpartisan paper, it will be
seen how little basis there is for such
a TRADE. -=.|
From the reports of the rapid de-
sertions of farmers from the Nom
partisan League the indications are
that the tactics of the Nonpartisan
leaders, and their paid organs are
not helping the farmers cause in
North Dakota or elsewhere. The
bandage is being raised from the
eyes Of those who have been blinded
by the windy promises Of great bene-
fits from the operation of the social
list laws passed at the last legisla-
ture, and the organs like the Suits
man County Press are unwittingly
doing large part of the work OF
showing up the real purpose OF the
League, in their true light.-Alert.

A special telegram to the Times
Record Tuesday conveys the news
of the death of Andrew Carnegie, one
of the worlds figures in finance and
in the business world. MIR. Carnegie is
responsible for the many public IL
braries we have all over the United
States, and one Of whom we have in
Valley City. He gave millions of dol
lars to this cause alone. It might be
that he could have distributed his
wealth to better advantage but we
cannot say. However, his gifts to the
public libraries all over the land has
enabled many people to enjoy the
reading of books and magazines that
they could not have read had these
public institutions not been establish
ed.

The Sanborn Enterprise has been
designated as the official paper of
Barnes county by the state printing
commission and we think that the ap-
pointment will meet with hearty ia
vor at the hands of all the newspaper
boys of the county excepting perhaps
the one who expected to get it-but
didn't. The Times-Record editor
wants to congratulate Bro. Mexican on
the appointment. Seeing that we could
not get it nor did we expect it, we GER
tainly are pleased that the dean of
newspapers Of Barnes county is the
lucky man. Bro. Mexican is one of the
oldest newspaper men in point Of SER
vice in North Dakota, also of Barnes
county, going to Sanborn in 1882, we
believe, and sticking on the job con-
tinuously ever since. We are mighty
glad he has been recognized. To the
printing commission we say, good
work, gentlemen.

disappointment to the opposition who
no doubt have been building high
hopes on gaining this coveted ap-

Surely nothing could be more
smart and yet more conservative in
every detail than a semi-tailored hat
Of tobacco-brown velvet. This simple,
round shape is effectively trimmed
with tan-colored quill placed around
the crown Of the hat. and above this

Stand Washinu.

e A cloth Of plain weave shows soil
quickly, but II 1t is firmly woven 1t
stands rubbing well and the dirt Is
easily removed by washing. On the
other hand, loosely woven plain cloth
must not be rubbed hard and must be
carefully handled In drying SO that
the threads will not be pulled out Of
place.
A twilled cloth does not show soil as
readily as plain, but it seems to hold
the dirt more tenaciously. Materials
Of satin weaves do not stand friction
as well as those of plain weave.
Fancy, part gauze and part solid
goods Of the so-called leno weave not
only stand very little friction, hut
when washed must be carefully pulled
and stretched while drying to have the
goods keep its original shape and size.
Loosely woven materials of all kinds
have greater absorption powers than
the closely woven varieties; this means
less bluing for the loosely woven goods.
These are suggestions made by home

Of agriculture.
