LEMKE MAKES

mailing down lies circulated for
campaign purposes by the paid edi-
torial, and newspaper Serfs of the Big
Biz who are seeking to defeat the
Nonpartisan League ticket in North
Dakota was the unpleasant pastime
that William Lemke, Republican can
didate for attorney general, engaged in
yesterday.
Mr.. Lemke's statement is compre-
hensive, covering a wide range of
matters and exposing the motives that
prompt anti-farmer editors to indulge
In such wholesale and absurd lying.
Two falsehoods in particular are espe-
cially ridiculous; the first is to the
effect that he is on the state payroll,
and the second, that he is unfriendly
toward the e%x-soldier. Following is a
copy Of his statement to the voters of
North Dakota.
1.-THE anti-farmer press of this state
seems to be devoting much space to
me these days. One of the lies they
are printing about me is that LAM on
the state payroll. Is
: II wish t. state, and the records
bear me out, that I am not, and never
was, paid by the state of North Da-
kota for any of the work that I have
done or am doing for the people Of
this state. I have been fighting for
the people for many years but during
all that time I have aever been On the
states payroll.
II started this fight several years
back when the Equity society was
first attacked by the same newspapers
and the interests that are now con-
tinuing their nefarious opposition
against the farmers movement. /

Runs on His Record.
81 feel confident that the people of
this state will judge ME by my record
and not by the lies and innuendos SO
industriously peddled by the prostitut-
ed press. IT. is. this record that the
opposition to the farmers movement
want to befuddle in the minds of the
voters in the hope that they may de
feat me in the fall
"Just now these papers r doing
their utmost to put me in a bad light
with the former service men in this
state. The Fargo Forum is now rant
ing about my having insllted the ex-
service men of North Dakota, To arg
unprejudiced person this charge must
appear silly, unless the malice behind
1t is recognized. Then it becomes the
worst kind Of dirty politics.
II challenge these lying sheets to
point to single instance in which
I have offered an insult to q returned
soldier OF said anything disparaging
about them or the American Legion.

PATIENT, LONG SUFFERING CREATURES!

Zone Of the wonderful things about America, to my
mind, is this: that for more than a generation it has allowed
itself to be governed by persons who were not invited to
govern it. A singular thing about the people of the United
States is their almost infinite patience, their willingness to
stand quietly by and see things done which they have voted
against and do not want done, and yet never lay the hand of
disorder upon any arrangement of government" -Openin

book entitled "The New Freedom.

British Scientist Makes Daring
Experiment in Interest

Question Involved Was Would 1t Be
Possible TO Calculate Quantity of
Oxygen Necessary to Airmen

LondOn.-Six days sealed up In q
glass case is daring experiment bear
ing on aviation which has just been
carried out by middle-aged British
university professor, Joseph Barefoot,
F. r. s., reader in physiology at Cam
bridge university. The question In
volved was whether it would be pos
sible to calculate the quantity of oxy-
gen necessary to an airman at high al
titudes.
The case in which Mr.. Bancroft was
shut up for six days was specially
erected in quiet room In the physio-
logical laboratory. 1t was about seven
feet high and about ten feet broad.
The floor, walls and roof were made
Of glass, Theoretically sealed and d.
vided into two compartments-one
fitted with a lounge chair and table
and the other with q simple bed.
Took Regular Exercise.
At the foot of the bed was a pedal
ing apparatus consisting of a frame Of
a bicycle, from which the front wheel
had been removed, and a small back
wheel with frame attached, to enable
Mr.. Bancroft to get some exercise and
cause a certain amount of work to be
done.

IOWA is MADE A TARGET

used a moving craft for a target ex-
cept in actual war.
Two of the Iowa's coal-burning boil
ers are being converted to burn oil so
the ship may continue under way with
no one aboard once its fires have been
started burning and its engines placed
in motion.
1t is expected that the unique prac-
tice will give the gun pointers of the
Atlantic fleet an opportunity to test
their ability under conditions as nearly
like those to be expected in battle as
can be obtained. Smoke screens will
be thrown around the Iowa during the
runs and the course will be changed
at will through the radio control sys-
TEN, necessitating a change in range
on all the firing ships, exactly as would
occur in action.
The Iowa has already been stripped
of some of its guns and much valuable
metal and the practice will be contin-
ued until the old vessel, a mass of
twisted metal, sinks beneath the waves

At the close of the experiment some

pertinent.
Mr.. Bancroft confesses to having felt
rather shaken up after his release from
the glass case but did not look much

The experiment is regarded here as
thoroughly successful and a scientific

RUBY Is JULY BIRTHSTONE
Gem Has Been Associated Through the
Centuries With Some Remarkably
Quaint Superstitions.

The ruby is the birthstone Of July.
IT was associated in ancient times with
many queer superstitions. How ttese
old fancies originated or how they
could have been palmed off on the pub
lie it is difficult to imagine. The fact
that the common people had implicit
faith in them proves how very much
more credulous the world once was
than 1t is today.
For instance, the ancients believed
that if ruby we're worn about the
neck it conferred tie power OF seeing
In the dark. One wonders what mon
umental faker started this absurd con-
ceit and for what purpose. 1t was gen.
orally believed. however, possibly be-
cause rubies were costly and the COM
mon people could not test the matter
for themselves.
The ruby also was supposed to be a
talisman against evil spirits, the
plague and poison. By the deepening
Of its color 1t forewarned its wearer
against impending misfortune. If tied
upon the forehead In linen cloth 1t
was believed to be a specific for dis
ease Of the eye.-Brooklyn Eagle.
