E, T0WNLEY,
DREAMER, PROMOTER and
Big BOSS POLITICIAN

In the last article we told you Of
Townley's sisal and land enterprise in
Dade county, Florida, and related the
story from the time Townley became
interested in the project in 1916 up to
the time of his financial difficulty at
Valley City, N. d., where he and
his attorney, and his employees, Box
and Hastings, became involved in a
federal investigation as the result Of
a bank promotion and the reorganiz-
ing of a national bank into a state
bank to be owned and controlled by
League men. Hastings and Box were
being investigated by the federal
grand jury. Townley and his attor-
ney, Lemke, were involved, and the
newspapers were full of charges and
counter charges. Hastings was about
to leave for Miami, to take personal
charge of Townley's Florida under
taking. He was to assume ownership
Of the project and Townley was to
deny any connection with it, but the
federal investigation of Hastings ac-
Invites forced Townley to discharge
Hastings not only as manager and
trustee of the Florida venture but as
financial secretary of the Nonpartisar
League.
Here Mr.. Waters will continue the
story:
About the middle of March, 1919,
was called from my bed at about mid
night, upon the arrival of the mid
night train from Fargo, by A. C.
ToWnley, who informed me to get
dressed and come over to the Nc
Kenzie hotel. Upon my arrival there
| found Townley in a very excited
state Of mind. Mr.. Brinton was also
there. We retired to a room, and
there Mr.. Townley related to me a
long story Of his Florida promotion
scheme, the difficulty that he was in,
the necessity of getting some one to
assume ownership of it-and the dan
ger Of publicity-what it would mean
to him if it became publicly known
that he was the owner of 22,400 acres
of land way down in Florida. This
was my first knowledge of any inter-
est that Mr.. Townley had outside of
his North Dakota promotions-with
which was more or less familiar.
Mr.. Townley related to me the pos
sibility of an indictment being re-
turned against his financial secretary,
Mr.. Hastings, and that in such an
event it might involve or bring to
light his Florida investments. 1t
seems that Brinton had suggested to
ToWnley my association with the
project as its owner. ToWnley related
how | had been in the real estate and
farm loan business for 20 years in
North Dakota; how it would cause no
suspicion if it became known that ]
were the owner of 22,400 acres of land
in Florida, California or Mexico. And
| saw Towniey's point and the mental
explosion that would take place in
North Dakota if it developed and be-
came known that Townley had invest
ed money in Florida land.
| have always been open for a deal
when it came to real estate, and |
generally made my best deal when the
other fellow was the aggressor. l had

One of the chief things which has
worried Arthur c. Townley, big chief
of the league, has been the possibility
of losing control of the House Of Rep
resentatives. 1t now appears almost
certain that he has lost such control.
Preus Wins Minnesota
With returns almost complete. j. A.
O. Preus is shown to be elected gov

ticket with a majority of more than
$4,000 votes, over the Non-Partisan

other Townleyistic candidates in Min
nesota received a like recognition.
There was simply an avalanche in
Minnesota for Harding. In 2,223 pre-

ove Cox was 270,13S. 1t is now GER

DON'T NEED Scent
Why Perfumes Are Not Over
Popular in America.
Writer Sees Cause for congratulstion
In the Fact That Heavy Artificial
doors Are Net Needed Here,
as In Europe.

That the sense of smell Is sadly neg
lectcd Is an opinion expressed every
once I'm a while by those who pride
themselves on a highly cultivated oil
factory faculty. Just the other day n
perfumer complained about the lack OF
appreciation of the pleasures of smell
especially among Americans.
Wen, for our own part, We are glad
that Americans are lacking in the
cultivation of this most neglected of
the senses. We are especially thankful
that the men of our race and country
almost entirely neglect the use of
perfumes.
The perfumer who Is making the
complaint points out the fact that,
while We cultivate the sense of sound,
touch. taste. to u certain degree. and
the sense of sight. We leave that Of
smelling practically uncultiyated. Well,
there H. this difference-that The man
or woman who INDUCES her apprecia-
tlon of odors by wearing perfumes
necessarily iuflcts these odors on all
who come near her. Even the woman
who wears bright and clashing color>
does not do this. for we can look
away-but there is no way Of avoiding
II perfume. While We breathe we have
10 use our smelling faculties.
Can't you recall how often your
pleasure at the theater and your
powers OF concentration at church or
the lecture have been well nigh de-
str0yed simply because OF nearby
perfumei No matter how artistic the
perfume may be, II It Is kept 10
q close audience or near TO YOU for
long at time IL Is sure Ia become an

As a matter OF fact one reason why
We Americans go In so little for per
fumes Is because We are OF all nations
the most free from unpleasant odors.
Our cities. our houses. our theaterS are
sweet 10 the nOStrilS compared 10 the
cities and public places Of Europe. In
Italy. where no one can visit Venice
or Florence without being shocked by
the smells OF the city. one finds high
appreciation OF perfumes.
