LEAGUE: EMPLOYS /
COUNTY MANAGER

a On Monday of this week the
county executive committee of the
Nonpartisan League signed up a
contract agreeing to employ a regu-
lar salaried county manager for the
organization, who will spend his
entire time working for the inter-
ests Of the league from now until
some time after election when his
services will not be needed. It
will be the duty of this manager to
look after new memberships, renew
the old members, take entire charge
of the campaign for the league be-
fore the coming general election.
and do everything in his power to
further the farmers cause during
I the time he is in the employ of the
E farmers here. Most of the solicit
ing Of new members in the county
has been completed, so very little
of the county managers time will
be taken up with this work, hence
he will devote all of his time to the
campaign.
State Senator Ralph Ingerson has
been appointed as the county man.
ager here, and he started work i'm
mediately. We do not believe that
a more capable. more willing, or
more influential manager could be
secured anywhere. Mr.. Ingerson
has worked for the interests of the
farmers ever since he was old
enough to do any work, has always
been a farmer himself, and has al
ways had the interests of the farm
er at heart. When the Nonparti-
san League was organized and up to
the present time he has never failed
to devote his own time and energies
toward the furthering of the inter-
ests of the league here when called
upon to do so. and has practically
looked after Burke county for the
state headquarters without any
compensation. He is thoroughly
familiar with what IL necessary
here, and what work will prove
most effective during the coming
campaign, and he can be depended
upon to put in that work in such a
way that the I. " A. will commence
to wonder what had happened. The
Tribune is satisfied that the league
members in all parts of the county
will be more than satisfied with
the appointment Of Senator Inger-
son to this place. s.
de-
The salary and expenses of the
county manager will be paid out of
money collected from memberships
in Burke county during the recent
drive, and also from such money as
will be collected during the coming
two .yearsA Out: tof each $l8 cot
lected $500 will remain. in tho
county, $500 will go TO the stats,
headquarters. and $500 to the ma
tional headquarters. The amount
allotted to Burke county will be de-
posted at the First State Bank of
this city to be used as deemed best
by the county manager and the
county executive committee.
Under this new system it is be-
lieved that the league will be able
to put up a much more effective
campaign than was the case for
merly, when same was directed
from the state headquarters at Far
go, and it is generally believed that
the league will be. able to not only
elect every. candidate the farmers
endorsed for county Office at the
general election next fall with big
ger majorities than they received at
the primaries. but will also be able
to swell the vote of the state league
candidates as we'll.

HELP HER CELEBRATE
HER BOTH BIRTHDAY

I was greatly surprised on the
afternoon of Aug. 21, when 18 of
my lady friends came rushing into
my house carrying packages and
told me they had come to help me
celebrate my 8Oth birthday. We
had a pleasant time visiting for a
while and then we all went out in
the yard where they served very
nice lunch of buns and butter,
pickles, potato salad and coffee and
large birthday cake trimmed with
80 sandles baked by Miss Berneice
Willyard. After lunch Mrs. Phelps
read the following poem and pre-
sented mo with a purse OF money
from the ladies: - ....
Let's give Mrs. White
Our best wishes sincere
For many returns
With more pleasure each year
And may she grow younger
Each day that she lives
And receive in full measure
The joy that she gives.
With this purse were two en-,
velopes, one from Mrs. Heath con-
tanning a donation and the other
from the First State Bank contain
ing another donation. Many thanks
to all, and they have my best wishes,
for their kindness to me will never
be forgotten. They took three diff
ferent pictures of the crowd, and
we had a pleasant time together
visiting until they had to go home.

.GRASSHOPPER TRAP
SHARES 100 BUSHELS

Plummer, N. D., Aug. 26.-Ed.
Larkin, gardener of this vicinity,
has invented a grasshopper trap
that gave excellent satisfaction dur
ing the grasshopper season this

vanized tank 16 feet long with a
perpendicular screen several feet
high at the back. It is mounted on
two small wheels, pulled by two
horses and the tank is filled with
kerosene and soap solution. Mr..
Larkin caught 100 bushels of grass
