The J. w. Jones farm in Glendale
Township, seventy acres, part sum-
mer fallow and part fall plowing,
yielded 23 bushels per acre Of fifty
eight pound rye.
o. E. Bowling reports yield of
2150 bushels of rye from a 100
acre field. Mr.. G. G. Merriell, who
owns the farm, states that in his
many years of experience of farm
ing in North Dakota land, rye has
always been his most profitable crop.
The yield this year on the 100 acres
will make an average Of FL 1-2 bu.
to the acre, and net $35 per acre
at the present market price.

!. w. w. Organizer
Invited to Depart

The I. w. w. agitator, whom we
mentioned in last weeks Pioneer,
was given the high sign Friday
morning when he and one of his CO.
horts satisfied their appitites in q
local restaurant but refused to set
tie for the meal. Chief of Police
johnson was notified and Immediate
ly invited the wobbly to leave town
and he left.
Hope is not the only town to be
infested with this sort of an unde-
sirable character. While in Finley
last Friday we saw an organizer
sign up about fifteen members in
about as many minutes.
Cooperstown is also among the
towns classed as undesirable to this
class Of men. The following is taken
from the Sentinel-Cou of last
week:
This community is being given q
taste of boycott by transient labor
ers. Down at Sanborn sign is pro.
minently displayed warning laborere
not to get into the Cooperstown
neighborhood because wages of only
so cents an hour are being paid
there. Steps have been taken to
remedy this injustice, believed to be
the work of I. w. w. men, for utk
usually high wages are being paid
here for harvesting, threshing, and
work on the sewer and waterworkt
project. Wages range from sixty
to eighty cents an hour.

New Roads to be
Built in County

The county commissioners met in
special session in this city Monday
for the purpose of going over some
road and other matters.
Treadwell Twitchell, the Cass
county road contractor, was expected
to meet with the board for the pur-
pose of figuring on some road con-
tracts, but was unable to be present.
The sum of $1,000 was set aside
to build 1-2 miles of road between
section 10, 20, 81 and 80 to join
with a new county road now under
construction in Cass County which
meets the county line. This addi-
tional strip of road will connect the
City of Hope with the Cass County
road.
The sum 70 $500 was voted the
townships of Riverside and Willow
Lake for the construction and re.
pair of road running east and west
between the two townships, and the
sum of $1,000 to the township OF
Willow Lake for the work on the
road between section s, 6, Z, and 8
The sum of $4,000 was transferred
from the road to the bridge fund

the. county the sum of $74.72 fol

DUST RAISED FROM ROADS
DOES NOT SEEM NECESSARY

On account of the continued dry
spell caused by lack of rain the roads
in Hope and vicinity have become
very dusty and disagreeable. So,
all vehicles, while passing through
the streets, raise a cloud of dust
which settles over and in the build
ings along the way, causing the
housewife to clean out much unde-
sirable durt.
We have noticed that is it only
the speeding auto and the trotting
horses that raise most of the dust,
and are therefore calling attention
to the drivers to this fact. A little
thought for others in this matter
would certainly be appreciated, we
are sure.

"1n cases where individual ship
ments are received from persons liv-
ing in counties where wool growers
associations have been framed, the
shipper will automatically become a
member of the county association,
and the dues, usually one dollar, will
be withheld from the returns on the
wool and sent to the county organi-

to bear the expense of storage, grad

The Cost of Road Buildlng

With stone roads costing any,
where around $4,000 to $4,000
mile, the country is forced to go
a little slow on road building. A lot
of the city people who are kicking
because transportation costs so much
over the rough roads, are preventing
the improvement of these roads by
forcing the price of labor to such
unheard of rates. Food products
can't be transported reasonably un-
til roads can be improved.

Meeting Held Friday Morning Plans
To Garry on Work in County

At meeting held on Saturday,
August 21st, the Salvation Army Ad-
,visory Board for Steele County was
formed. The board which is COM
posed of some of the leading men
of this city, will in the future de-
termine to what extent and in what
manner the Salvation Army may
most effectively exert its construct
i've efforts in Steele County.
A thorough discussion of the SAL
walton Army Home Service Program
was held and advantages Of the step
were carefully considered before or
ganizing. The conclusion was reach
>ad that the Home Service Program
as explained by the Army field repre-.
sentative who was present, offers val
liable opportunity for Steele County
to avail itself of the social facilities
of the great Salvation Army organ
ization.
Hereafter the Advisory Beard.

,fetary, M. B. Cassell, Treasurer; r.
A. Lathrop, G. w. Moores, E. M.
Fuller, ]. G. Wamberg, L. J. Bowen,
The Advisory Board will first
make a study of social conditions in
the county, paying special attention
to certain phases with which the Sal
Tation Army is particularly we'll e.
quipped to deal. These include pov-
erty, with particular reference to the
old and infirm; the unemployed with
reference especially to dependent
cases: juvenile delinquency and its
contributory causes;- illegitimacy in
cluding the number of illegit!mate
births and the disposition Of the
mother and child, and other lines
of welfare work in which the Saliva
tion Army is we'll equipped to render

The representative explained that
similar Boards are being formed in
every county and will similarly re-
view their fields and make a report
thus giving the Salvation Army Of
ficials a comprehensive view of the
entire North Dakota situation. They
will thus be in a position to locate
accurately the ''sore spots" and con.
centrate their efforts where help is
needed and desired. In addition the
Advisory Board will keep in close
touch with the situation and cases
requiring attention by the Army will
be brought to it's attention. They
will seek its aid whenever an emer.

Nonpartisan League management is
promised If A. G. Townley, president
of the Nonpartisan League, or VIM.
Lemke, vice-president of the same
organization and his own candidate
for attorney-general of North Dakota
accept the offer Of Attorney General
VIM. LANCER of the services of a
special assistant attorney-general in
the prosecution of J. w. Brinton for
criminal libel. Mr.. Brinton has
charged both Townley and Lemke
with crimes which, If proved, would
put them behind the bars and de-
clares that he is ready to prove them
in court.
Mr.. Langer's vigorous public let
ter to Townley and Lemke is as fol-
lows:
ITO A. c. Townley and VIM. Lemke:
"You are hereby notified that ].
w. Brinton in last nights Burleigh
County farmers Press, over his sig
nature, stated that you were dishon-
est; that you approved of misappro-
priation and embezzlement of money
in the League and in the State Bank
of North Dakota; that you, and not
others, used league funds to pro-
mote private enterprises; that you
have committed forgery by signing
other mems names to documents to
cover up your own autocratic ana
criminal actions: that you charged
other men with crime to protect
yourselves.
"Mr. Brinton has offered to prove
his statement in any court in the
land. II Mr.. Brinton's statements
are true, it is criminal libel. AS
attorney general, elected by the
farmers Of North Dakota, 1 hereby
offer anytime within the next three
days to temporarily remove one OF
the two regular assistants left me
by your tools in the legislature and
offer to appoint any lawyer you may
select in North Dakota as one OF
my two assistant attorney generals
to assist in the prosecution of the
said ]. w. Brinton, and guarantee
that it will cost neither one of you
two men one single penny.
ION behalf of the farmers who Sc
lected me to Office, urge you to have
Mr.. Brinton arrested. If he cannot
prove his charges, we will put him
in the penitentary because that is
where he would belong; and if he
does prove them, will put you ir
the penitentiary because that il
where you would belong.

Attorney General

could have been changed and could
now be changed at any time by the
