F|Gh1|NG SQUAD TO
TOUR NORTH DAKOTA

The Independent Voters Associa-
tion is evidently going to get the
people of the state to studying care
fully the laws which are now on our
statutes as a result of the operations
Of Townleyism within North Dakota.
What is to be known as the I. V. A.
Fighting Squad is being organized
for the purpose Of making tour of
the state and addressing all day raj
lies at many points in the state.
These rallies are to be held during
the first half Of December according
to a statement Just issued from state
headquarters Of the Association at
Fargo.
"The Things That Make Townley-
ism Possible in North Dakota" are
going to be given a most thorough
going over" in the next few months.
Since the Independent Voters Associ-
alton threw down the gauntlet to
Townleyism on December 9, 1918,
there has been an almost continual
campaign of organization going on
in the state. Thousands of people
have picked up courage enough to
defy the looters and boycotters to do
their worst. wo more state officials
have also come out since that time
in open criticism of the leaders and
a considerable portion of the pro-
gram of the Nonpartisan League.
undreds who voted for the League
program last June have now come to
the conclusion that they made mis-
take. Other hundreds, who are still
sticking" to the Nonpartisan League
banner are suspicious of the motives
of most Of the leaders of the League.
See the ad in this issue for meetings
of the Fighting Squad.

THE EARLY MATCHES MAKE
THE BIGGEST RETURNS

In the State Egg Laying Contest
conducted by Enoch Peterson, Poul-
tryman of the Agricultural College,
it is only the early hatched birds
of both the general purpose and lay
ing breeds Of fowls, that are giving
any creditable returns in eggs so far.
This demonstrates the fact that any
who are interested in having their
chickens pay for their feed during
the winter by laying eggs, should
hatch them as early as possible in the
spring, so they may get their growth
and be prepared to start laying in
the fall.

POTATOES PROFITABLE

tion farm at Hoople. Mr.. Porter,

stration Farms, reports that the av-
erage yield has been 1872 bushels and
the average net profit $74.12 per
acre. The average cost of produc-
tion has been $31.83. In 1919.
however, the cost of production was

$272.68, leaving net profit of
$211.00. The average yield Of

Dear Editor:
Will you kindly call your readers
attention to the fact that the county
has gone to considerable expense in
providing a book in which to record
soldiers Discharge Certificates, and
that these will be recorded in the
Register of Deeds Office without

valuable documents be recorded, as
they will be of permanent historical
value.
Very truly yours,

FLOWING FOR ALFALFA

A word should be said as to the
depth of plowing. The corn or po-
tato ground is merely disced and
narrowed before sowing the alfalfa.
Before planting the preliminary
crop the blowing should be we'll done
to good depth. In many cases
deep tilling machines have been used
to excellent advantage. Where COM
PARSONS have been possible, in cer-
tain instances, deep tilling has evil
IDENTIFY been the deciding factor be-
tween success and failure during
dry seasons. If one examined the
alfalfa plants growing under the two
conditions with some care, it is quite
sure that the outstanding features
would be the difference in root de-
velopment.-Farm Information Ser

on Market street, near the Terminal
station, when the accident occurred.
officer German, who made the arrest,
stated that the car was exceeding the
speed limit, and that he signalled to
the driver to slow down, which he
Immediately did. Several witnesses
testified that Marcus crossed the
street and came out in front of a
wagon with apparent disregard for
his own safety, making collision
with the oncoming car absolutely un-
avoidable. The negro was struck by
the car and jumped. or was hurled
into the air, falling against the wind
shield. The defendant maintained
that he obeyed the officers signal

Colored Citizens Do Not
Approve Defender Articles
Last Issue Does Not Tend to
Promote Present Ideal
Relations.

Articles in the last issue of the Chat :
tanooga Defender, local negro publ =
cation. dealing with race riots in Nari-
Gus parts of the United States, have
evoked much adverse criticism from
both white and colored people in Chat
tanooga.
Among the articles reprinted in the
Defender is one written by w. 5. Scar
hrough, president of Wi.berforce col
lege, which deploes the fact that IN
the great world war the south was in
the saddle at Washington. The writer
charges that the south has made 90
most of its opportunity.
Leading Colorcd citizens, realizing
better than ever before since the chi
cago riots. that the south is the negro
best friend. deplore the publication OF
such articles Another article charging
that Ku-Klux klans are being formed
throughout the south with the appar-
ent purpose of Offering violence to the
negro is just as widely condemned by
both white and co'ored citizens. This
charge is, of course. absolutely untrue:
The articles. especially in view OF
the sensational manner in which they
are handled do not tend TO promote
the present ideal relations between the
white and colored races in Chattanooga,
leading colored citizens pointed out.

ages and wagons exported 100000

THUS 1t is shown that there is no
justification for any claim that the
small manufacturer cannot get export

OF interest. Out of 600 advertisers
in this paper only 112 are rated at

ports. brought about by the recent
REIMBURSEMENT OF rail rates, affords the
logical gateway to southern manu-
facturers desiring to extend their
business in South America, as well as
to others who have heretofore ex-
ported through New York and the
north Atlantic ports, handicapped by
the long rail and ocean haul to the
foreign markets. The south Atlantic
parts now have regular service to
the West Indies, Brazil, Uruguay and

Shipping through these ports means
a shorter haul, the delivery of goods
D., to shipside, thus avoiding drayage
and lighterage charges; immediate
delivery due to lack of port conges-
ton, and adequate banking connec-
tions to facilitate the handling of
documents, etc.
Southern shippers should make
every effort to assist in the opening
OF these southern ports to the trade
of the world. Every inducement in
the way OF service is offered, and the
success of this movement is entirely
dependent upon the CO. operation OF

turers. Indications are that the mari

County Will Pay City When
1t Is Ablv--Judge Conner
Says Nothing Out of Ordinary
About Debt Now
Existing.

County Judge Sam A. Conner, when
asked Wednesday morning regarding
the statement that the county was
indebted to the city in the amount of
$4,000, stated that it was true the
county did owe the city, but there
was nothing out of the ordinary about
that and he saw nothing to stir up
any great sensation, as it looked like
some one had tried to do.
Judge Conner, in further discuss
ing the matter, said: Eyes. we owe
the city something like the amount
they say we do, but evidently some
body has just found it out and IS
trying to make a sensation out of II.
When l came into the county judges
Office I found that the former admin
istration owed the city some money
which should have been paid. This
amount was for the year 1916. ]
think the amount was $4,000 and
this | paid by saving it out of my
budget. The budget fixed for last
year was s175.O00 and this amount
have paid the city and $4,000 be-
sides on the old debt. I am paying
the city as fast as l can and I am
not going to pay them any faster.
If they can do anything about 1t let
them act"
