IS OFF PRESS
Inside Story of Activities is
Told by the Attorney
General.

The Morton County Farmers Press
Of Mandan, a corporation owned and
controlled by four hundred farmer
shareholders, has now of the press
an enlightening book on the Nom
partisan league by William LANCER,
attorney general Of North Dakota and
Republican candidate for governor at
the June primaries, who put up such
a magnificent fight that Townley n
Frazier had to combine with Alex
Mckenzie to beat him-and even then
they just nosed hins out.
General LANCER goes back beyond
the Nonpartisan movement In his
book, telling first OF the abuses In the
marketing of grain and then of the
growth of the Equity under the lead
ership Of George Lofthus, in which
movement he took an active part.
Most interest will undoubtedly be
attracted by his sensational expose of
important part the Scandinavian
American bank and the Bank of
North Dakota played in it. He also
tells Of the Valley City bank deal in
which the promoters. associates OF
Townley's were forced by the State
Banking Board to pay back thou
sands Of dollars.
The secret caucus system by means
OF which Townley and Lemke arc
able to saddle their minority bills on
the majority and force farmers to
support socialistic schemes against
their will, is wildly portrayed in a
graphic chapter Illustrated with
scenes from the caucus meetings. In

Situation, Declares

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. 1s.-Di-
vorces in Minneapolis have 80 multi
clied that the situation will be
brought to the attention Of the entire
Hennepin county district court bench.
A meeting of the full bench will be
held october 80. when the question of
a domestic relations court will be
presented by Judge H. D. Dickinson,
senior member of the bench, as the
only solution to the problem
Divorce complaints are being filed
almost twice as fast here as the
courts are able to pass upon them,
and more suits of marriage dissolu-
ton have been filed and granted this
year than in any other like period.
An average of slightly more than
sixty divorces a month have been
granted by the district courts here,
and since Jan. 1, 1920, up to the mid
die of october, a total of 493 COM
plants were acted upon. This total Is
divided up as follows:
IS; April, 81; May, 81; June, 70; Sep
TENDER, 60 and half Of October. 80.
During July and August, when the
majority of judges were on vacations,
twenty-one and eighteen dissolution
actions were granted respectively.
More than 500 divorce suits, how
ever, are pending on the calendar, ac-
cording to Walter A. Ryberg, chief
deputy clerk of the district court.
When shown the divorce statistics
complied by Mr.. Ryberg, Judge Dick
inson characterized Minneapolis as a
"~veritable Reno"
1.-The situation declared Judge
Dickinson, "is becoming most acute.
Not only are the legitimate divorce
cases literally doubling up on the
court calendar, but despite anything
the courts can do, actions without
real merit are being slipped through
every month";" :
Judge Dickinson pointed out that
vorce actions, the judges are power
less to correct the condition.

bother and muss to take it apart, and fuss and work to
put together. When an O-Cedar Mop needs renewing,
simply wash it in boiling water, pour a little O-Cedar
Polish in the can and let mop stand in it over night.
The next morning it is practically as good as new.

Originally, before the war;, the price --w
of the O-Cedar Polish Mop was $3.50.
During the war, we used war materials-shor length
cotton-mill ends of drillEsurplus steel for centers and
by making the mop smaller we were able to keep the
price down.
Now the sources of supply of most of these items are
cut off. We must go back to before-the-war materials
and pay todays prices for them. For instance cotton
cord cost 14c to 16c per pound before the war. Today
it costs us SIC. Handles that cost &c in 1914 cost 12c to-
day. Our labor costs have advanced 200%. And so on.
We will not make a mop that is not up to the
O-Cedar standard. We can't continue the O-Cedar
standard at present prices. So the advance of Csc is
absolutely necessary for us to continue O-Cedar Mops
as the millions of housewives want them.
The 25c advance in price is effective November 1st.~
Even if you do not need a new O-Cedar Mop Just
now it will pay you to buy one at your nearest store
today.

Injunction was granted by Judge E. F..

The bill attacks the legality of con-

by the extra session of the Tennessee
legislature, citing article ?, section 32
of the state constitution. which says
no general assembly shall act upon an
amendment to the state constitution
unless such assembly shall have been

that the motion to reconsider had not
