Not only the tense political issues
but the Inauguration of the new coul-
ty manager plan of organization in
well-organized counties is expected to
add unusual interest to the coming
conventions of the farmers.
Politicians Guessing
With several men already actively
canvassing for support for governor
ship aspiration, the politicians have
been trying to figue out what the
League farmers would be likely to do,
but they see little hope as yet of turn
ing the farmers from the independent
position.
All of the farmers experience in
marketing. in buying and in higher
taxes because of corporation favoril-
ism during the last year has strength

old-line politicians. That the labor
element means business is shown by
the way the street railway was de-
feated in a recent special Minneapolis
election. Congressman Keller's vic
tory in this city five months previous
by big majority is another proof
that labor is going to be independent
with the farmers.
Townley Predicts Victory
In personal message to the Min
'nesota farmers President Townley de-
clares that the farmer-labor alliance
has every chance of nominating a
complete ticket in the primary. On
all points the situation is far better
than in 1918 when the farmers came
so near to complete victory.

EASTER
 SUNDAY

The first day of the week came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven and rolled back the stone from the door And the angel answered and said unto the women, fear not ye; for l know that you seek Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here, for He is risen, as he said Come see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there ye shall see him; 10, have told you.

FAVoRs EXTRA HALF HOLIDAYS

Thursday afternoon closing of stores during the months of June, July, August and September was rec commended to local merchants by the meeting of the Merchants Committee of the Chamber of Commerce Friday afternoon The committee felt, how ever, that more time should be allow ed for giving publicity to the closing time in the surrounding towns, and therefore recommended that Thurs day June 17th, be the first date on which the new schedule will operate, continuing until Thursday, September 30th.
 June is one of the two or three best months in the year in many lines of business, and many merchants firmly believe that the trade which is lost while stores are closed on Thursday afternoons is never recovered on the other days of the week. It has been decided, however, to give the plan a trial for the present year.
