StiCk!--And Win!

Only ten days remain OF the 1920
campaign. Yet in those ten days
the campaign will be won and lost.
The /. v. A are none too conf
dent. They have spent money as
never before, and have q splendid
organization. But the gamblers
have ouble-crossed the 4. V. A. pol
iticians Those greedy robbers,
hungry for the farmers millions,
have beaten down the price Of wheat
to such a point that even many l..
v. AS are rebelling. -....
But the /. ", As are working
hard. The fact that this gamblers
have cleaned up so many millions
already on the 1920 crop mems
that they will give their candidates
all the more money to spend in
North Dakota. Every effort will
be made in the next ten days, by
personal visitations, by the lavish
distribution of literature and by ap-
pealing to- every possible prejudice,
to persuade farmers to vote the
ticket that is supported by the very
gamblers who are robbing the farm
ers as they have never been robbed
before. ~
But what the I. V. A.. are count
ing upon most strongly is to kill
the Bank of North Dakota, and,
with it, the entire industrial pro-
gram. Even tho they are none toe
certain of their ability to elect
O'Connor and the rest Of their tick
ct, the, l.. ", a. profess the utmost
confidence in their ability to SMASH
the industriaI program, thru VIC
tory for the five initiated laws.
They can't do it, if the farmers
and their wives get out to the polls.
That now is the big question of the
campaign: Will the farmers and
their wives vote?
Do the farmers want, in this ell
ection, to make secure all they have
won in North Dakota, and to con-
solidate a position from which they

may launch new and greater at
tack, in congress-, against the grain
gamblers and the big national pro-
fiteeIs?
on are the farmers ready to sur
render what they have won here,
and, in that surrender, to give up
also all chance of meeting the
gamblers and the big profteers in
the national arena, in the decisive
battle that must be fought there
If the farmers are to get anything
like Justice?
These are the questions that will
be answered in the next ten days.
In fact they are being answered at
the organization and League busi-
ness IN eetings that are being held
III each voting precinct by County
Z Manager Senator Ralph Ingerson
where plans are made to get out the
full voting strength OF the forces
of progress. When the meeting il,
called in your precinct be on hand
ready to do your part.
1t has been charged that the
League is an autocracy, and that
the officials do it all. That is
false. The officials indeed nave
done their utmost. Final victory
Or. defeat does not lie with the Of
fcials. but with the members of the
League themselves. If they want
victory. they can have it, by get
ting cut and working for it. If
the defeat of the gamblers and the
milling trust and the packing trust
and the big bankers and the Wall
street railroad profteers isn't Of
enough value to farmers and farm
er's wives to prevail upon them to
do a little work in the final week
before election, then these big
truSys will again rule and rob
without let or hindrance
The League can win its most
smashing victory on November g.
But it can win only as the farmers
and their wives get out and work
and vote to make it win.

PASS THE PLUMs"
SAYS FtAXTON TIMES

Our I. ". A. contempory, the
F1axton Times, is a candidate for
official newspaper Of Burke county.
The editor OF that paper evidently
still considers the publication of le-
gal notices, etc.. as institutions OF
patronage to be passed around
among deserving and needy news
paper editors without regard to
the best interests of tho public.
The law under which the voters
will vote for official paper was
passed by the legislature for the
purpose of preventing abuses that
had grown up in connection with
the publication of official county
notices and the publication of legal
notices of all kinds. The pur-
;pose OF tbs law i'll placing the Of

several years ago. The farmers
candidate for commissioner in the
3rd district. Jake Dewing, did have
the misfortune to accidentally
strike the daughter of c. e. Blon

carelessness. 1t was one Of those
unavoidable Tragedies that some

criterion Of the feeling that has

M|NOT STOCK SALE
PROVES BIG SUCCESS

The second annual stock show
and sale of the Mouse Kiver Loop
Pure Bred Live Stock Association
was held at Minot on Tuesday and
Wednesday OF this week. and was
attended by quite large number OF
buyers from all parts of the state.
Between two and three hundred
Shorthcrn and Hereford cattle were
sold, most OF them remaining in
this section Of the state.
Among the cattle men from
Burke county p escnt at the sale
were jim Uglum and Theodore Gull
liclson Of Clayton township, An
drew Nelson and Howard Bird OF
F,axton, Thomas Ely of Columbus,
and Richard Huttner of Lignite.
Mr.. Ely took down a number of
splendid Duroc Jersey hogs to the
sale. and disposed of one Of them.
Mr.. Ely's herd boar weighs 500
pounds. Mr.. Huttner bought
Scotch Shorthorn 10 months old
bull, Royal Hero, from Alcck Cur
rie herd at Cando for $3.50. Mr..
Huttner now owns herd of IA
registered Sllorthorns and will have
ten hcifers for breeding purposes
next spring. 1t will not take him
long to build up fine herd. How
ard Bird Of Flaxton bought two
shorthorn cows with splendid calves
at their side for about $500, and
will add these to his already fine
herd. The other gentlemen from
Burke county did not buy anything,
but went down mostly for the pur-
pose OF seeing the splendid type of
cattle and getting a lineup on what
was going on in pure bred cattle
in this part Of the state.
The buying Of high grade pure
bred cattle by Burke county stock
men is encouraging, especially when
the fact is taken into consideration
that this has been a hard year for
all grain and stock men in county,
and the market price of ordinary
grade stock is way below the aver
age. 1t shows that the stock men
here have confidence in the better
grades of stock, and know that the
raising Of bred stock of the
best types can be done at oft
when everything else shows a loss.
The sale at Minot was in charge
Of B. E. Critchfield. The average
price for the sale on. Shorthorns
amounted to $5O5, and most OF
these came from the famous Stone
house herd at Larimorc. The top
male went to julius Rue and H. L.
F'inke of Ward county for 100000.
This was King Cornerstone, the
herd bull Mr. Rue bought the
second top heifer for s1,060.00.
The female was bought by e.
Kamrud of Makoti for $1375.OO.

years, the average expense to the
county has been approximately

at the county auditors Office the
farmers share of the county expense
amounts to less than 2S cents per
quarter section of land, the rail-
roads express companies and 9TH

than one fifth of the county ex-

$2800.00. Burke county will lose
these appropriations if the vote IS

2:YEAR.0LO. BOY IS
K|LtEO BY TRACTOR

Milton, the two-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Koch of north
Of town was run over and instantly
killed by soil packer drawn by a
tractor at the Hunter farm two
miles east of Bowbells last Friday
afternoon at about two o'clock.
The Koch tractor outfit had been
plowing and packing at the Hunter
farm at the time. At the noon
hour Mrs. Koch and the two chill
dren went out to the tractor with
dinner for the men, and all ate the
meal together. After short rest
the tractor was started uD drawing
the plows and packer, while Mrs.
Koch stood by holding both children
by their hands. Just as the ma
chinery started the boy broke loose
from his mother and ran between
the plows and packer, and was run
over the full length Of him, killing
him instantly. He was brought to
Bowbells Immediately, but life was
extinct and nothing could be done
FOR him. No bones except the
skull were broken, and the skin
was not broken anywhere.
The funeral services were held at
The Koch farm residence north Of
Gown last Sunday afternoon at two
o'clock, and were conducted by Rev.

thy to the bereaved and heart
stricken parents. The remains
were inferred at the Bowbells ceme-
terry east of town. %.

LEAGUERS "ST|Ck"
IN EVERY WAY

Yakima, Wash, Oct. 16.-"We'll
Stick" is the slogan of the Nonpar-
tisan League farmers And that is
why group of Nonpartisan leag-
uers of the Sunnyside district, when
they heard of the disaster which
burned a fellow Lacquer, John
Ubanks out Of house and home, got
together and laid to with a hearty
hand that sent new home climb
ing for the Ubanks family.
The fire that destroyed the
Ubanks home two weeks ago Oc-
Cured while Mr.. Ubanks was away
and Mrs. Ubanks in the field. Men
working near were able to save L
few chairs and a bed-all else, in
Guiding clothes, bedding, furniture,
household goods, etc., going up in
smoke.
This week a house building party
Of Is leaguers gathered at the
Ubanks farm and with three car
penters to direct the work, put up
the scaffolding, the side walls, laid
the first roor and the second floor
and covered the sides. Tuesday
another housing bee will be held
when the ten-room house will be
completed, five rooms on each floor
and with two sleeping porches in
addition. r. IT,.
While sympathizing with all
farmers in affliction, Sunnysid,s
leaguers have noted that the stand
patters of the district have failed to
show the same brotherly spirit as
the leaguers to one Of their asso-
ciates, who recently had the mis-
fortune to have his house destroyed
by fire.
Nov, if he were Lacquer, we'd
build him house pronto'', said one
Of the men who helped build Ubanks
new home.
And the good work will not stop
when the dwelling is ready for oc-
.cupancy after Tuesday. The wo-
men of the district are planning a
number of quilting bees just as soon
as they can get together at the
Ubanks home and will fix the fam
lily uo with bedding for the coming /.
cold weather and also some clothes.
t'We'll Stick to a leaguer, means
they'll stick together in all forms OF
adversely, like the members Of one
big family who realize their saliva

industry and at the polls. S;SEs

ditor Bowbells. Tribune:

Editor Bowbells. Tribune:
In your issue of Oct. 5 you run
an article evidently intended to in
fluence the readers of your paper to
vote to continue the Office of coun-
ty agent in Burke county. Also
have noticed the same article in
several other papers in: the county
showing that it has been circulated
for that purpose, and as statements
are made in the article that seem
to me misleading I wish to draw
your readers attention to them.
The article states: Word has
been received from the North Da-
kota Agricultural College that all
extension work must be dtscontln-
ued in any counties which vote
against extension work" and then
goes en- and states that no one
could be sent out from the college
to carry on campaigns for grass
hopper eradication, live stock dis
ease control, etc.. etc. --..
T believe that statement absolute
ly false and misleading. 1t is not
true that if an epidemic of some
live stock disease should break out
in Burke county that the service of
the Agricultural College would be
denied us because we had refused
to employ county agent. l pc
lieve that the service of our Agrl-
cultural College would be at our
disposal the same as it was before
we had county agent AMI the same
as that, service is rendered in coun-
ties where they do not employ
county agent. Renville county
handled the hopper situation with
as much efficiency without a county
agent as we did with one. Many
farmers are beginning TO believe
that the efforts to control the hop
pers has been an absolute failure,
that the thousands of dollars spent
for noison, etc., this year was prac~
titally without result. 1t seems
that the people should be left to
decide as to whether they want to
have county agent or not. They
havo had several years experience
with one employed in the county.
The people are getting tired of sup
porting useless deputies in county
offices. or supporting unnecessary
Offices like the county agent, and
Il object to the article in question
because there isah sttenlat to
make it appear that wa could get
no further benefit from our state
agricultural college unless we agree
to saddle ourselves with a county
agent.
The article further states that:
practically all residents of the
county say that the work or a coun'
ty. agent is worth while but a few
think the county cannot afford the
expense happen. to be fairly
we'll acquainted with a great many
Of the farmers of Burke county but
do not know of but two who be-
love that the people Of this county
ought to employ county agent.
Either the writer of the article IN
question has not interviewed very
many of Burke county's citizens or
at least that portion of them that
reside on the farms.
The people of Burke county ,ex.>
pect to elect officers who will be
able to look after the interests OF
the people and If it IS found neces-
sary to esta blish :grasshopper Grad.
ication, ETC., our county commis-
sioners will be able to cope with |
the situation as they have been
able to do in Reliville county with /
out the expense of a county agent.
