McGOVERN SOME HELP TO FAR
MERS?
Lague Papers Howl About His Saw
ing Money Works Out Funny in
Local Deal on Grain Sales

Farmers may read in the various
league newspapers how McGovern has
been saving money on the farmers
grain, etc., etc. But here is some
stuff they haven't told you:
Chris. Bosch, manager of the local
Farmers Elevator, has been shipping
grain to the Russell Miller mills at
jamestown and has been getting a
grade of No. dark Northern choice.
He has sold 25 carloads that way.
Recently, the mills sent McGovern
sample of some of the wheat, and Nc
Govern notified Mr.. Bosch that he had
GRADED the sample ,"No. 1 Northern
Spring" which would bring a price of
from fifteen to twenty cents less per
bushel.
Just think of it.. The mills them
selves were willing to pay the top
price for the actual grain. But the
oficious Mr.. McGovern, who. is 50
busy saving money for the farmers,
grades a sample of the grain at an
inferior grade.
Now, if the Russell Miller people
should see fit to take Mr.. McGovern's
word for it, the local farmers would
be nicely stung. However, the mill
people are the ones who are using the
grain and they think they know what
the grain is worth. Hence, they paid
the top price in spite of Mr.. McGov-
ern.
We will now watch the various
league papers in the state with inter-
est to see if they mention McGovern's
action in this matter which would
mean the loss of large sum on every
bushel to the farmers. We will even
watch with interest the local league
organ to. see if they will tell their
readers about this affair, Just like
they told us "a while ago they had
been watching the Record for some
matter or other. While the league
papers paint black pictures about
how everybody is robbing the farm
ers, we find the Russell-Mille people
paying fifteen to twenty cents more.
for their wheat than McGovern would
allow if he had his way.

COUNTY. CAMPAIGN GETTING
UNDER WAY

Plans of the Anti -Townley Cam
paign Committee for Emmons county
are coming along rapidly. Solicita-
ton of funds from citizens of the
county for campaign purposes is
meeting with more hearty response
than in the primary. Workers in
various parts of the county are get
ting into the harness in good shape.
Recruits are being received from the
ranks of those who have heretofore
trusted implicitly in Townley.
Various agencies are responsible for
OBJECTIONS from the Townley ranks.
Some have reported that the last $18
drive and 500 drive of the league
was one too many for them. Others
are convinced by the Brinton- Waters
exposure that there is something rot
ten in Denmark. Others are becom-
ing convinced that the socialist party
has in reality swallowed up the repub-
lican party. And one man claims he
jumped the traces because he was Of
fered such large sum Of money to
campaign for the league that it con-
vinced him that there was crooked
ness somewhere if such amounts were
being handed out.
T The league bosses have built up q
mammoth fund by their recent drive,
however. But, it is impossible to in
fiuence any great section Of the vot-
ing public simply because Of ample
financing. Money may talk in some
quarters, but not i'll all.
Even the fact that the league boss
es have seen fit to send stranger
! in here at q regular salary and to
keep him here for months to handle
the campaign, has reacted on some
of the leaguers, and has caused dis
satisfaction in the ranks.
Big Biz isn't going to kill the Non
partisan League. But tho crooked
garfting why's Of their bosses is doing
it most surely.

BRO STEWART TO CATHRo's
Busy Trying to Protect Cathro's Soft
q Snap, and to Create Emnity for
Banks by Publication Of Bulle-
tin. n 5s5 :

The front page Of the Free Press
last week has another glowing Eek
posure. /" This time the Free Press
has found (by reading, the Courier
Newsy that the "money-lcnders''
3;meaning thereby the local banks
throughout the state) are in q dis
reputable plot to ruin the Bank OF
North Daokta and possibly Cataro's
nifty little s1o,o ,oooia-year-and board
job.
According to the Free Press, Sec.
MacF Fadden, of the North Dakota
Bankers Association, had written 20
the banks of the state asking support
for the proposed initiated measure
that would allow our county, city,
township and school district officers
to- deposit their funds wherever they
could get the best terms, instead OF
being forced to lose interest by plac-
ing funds in the Bank Of North Da-
kota where such officials had to dig
up even for check books.

financial help from any source of that

financial help from any source of that
nature.
We were asked if it was not true
that many of the business men in Lin
ton had contributed 500 each for the
primary election fight.
Our answer is again emphaticany
no. Not single donation of over
$40 was received in the primary cam
paign, and the nmuber of donations
was pitifully small for the work to be
done. The Record and one or two
others did not even receive pay for
actual work done when the funds ran
out.
League lies about campaign funds
of the Independents are absolute lies.
The league has spent ten dollars for
every dollar in opposition. Durin 3
the primary campaign, the plans out
lined had to be greatly curtailed be-
cause of lack of funds. 3
When the Record man agreed to
spend six weeks campaigning
throughout the state, he was assured
that his actual expenses would he
taken care Of by the state organiza-
ton. But the money ran out and he
was left short to the amount of more
than $175 Of money actually expend-
ed by himself. He, had originally
promised to donate his time, actual
expenses to be paid.
It may be believed in some quar-
ters that the Record man has been
paid by some agency for his stand
politically Our answer that any
such claims are absolute lies. We
have never received pay, directly or
indirectly from any source. And,
further, we defy any person or per-
sons to show one single bit of evil

For Monmouth

Monmouth, Sept. 10.--The COM
mon council of this city met a
great volume of business at the
regular monthly session held Tues
day evening, but with unusual
speed no extra time was required

came before that body except in
the election of a city marshal,

At the regular meeting held Tues

ed instructing the city recorder
to post notices of meeting to be
held September Fl, when the mat
ter of assaulting the cost Of curbs
to the abutting property will be
taken up. A resolution was also
passed starting the final proceed
ings for the sale of two parcels
of land on Main street to pay for
the cost of paving. The desire of
the Normal school to have Mon
mouth avenue paved between the
normal building and the dormitory
and the training school was disucss
ed along with the methods of do
ing the work. 1t was suggested
that six inch surface Of concrete
along the side could be built with
a smaller outfit than is required
for asphalt and the paving would
be fully as servicable.

Is Net
Return ofLogan
Yard Near Salem

Bruce Cunningham, who has a
45-acre loganberry yard in the Lib
erty district, reports a gross re-
turn of s45,115 from the 1920 yield
just harvested. This loganberry
crop was purchased by Washing
ton canning concern at slight
fraction above 13 cents per pound.
Mr.. Cunningham's sales vouch-
ers show a net profit Of about $780,
900. He believes that the world
market for loganberries is just op-
ening.
1.-THE cash return made this year
are the first assurance given logan
growers that the uncertain years Of
the industry's infancy have passed.
There have been times when Ma
rion county growers have been
compelled to borrow money In or
der to continue their loganberry
holdings from year to year. With
the unprecedented demand for this
small fruit, the grower should be-
gin to receive his reward for his in
vestment during those years when
his entire holdings were at stake"
Similar returns have been re-
ported from small logan yards in
this section.
Plans New. Acreage.
The Liberty yard will be added to
by 10-acre planting during the
next year, Mr.. Cunningham states.
In addition to this immediate yard
enlargement, further additions are
contemplated in the near future.

Mr.. Watkins devoted the major
portion of his speech to discus
sion of rural problems. the most
important of which, he said, was
the steady decrease of rural popu-
lation.
He said that the solution of the
question was to develop a genuine
loyalty to the farm. He conclud-
ed:
las long as boys and girls on the
farm are taught that the great op-
portunities, intellectual, socia. --i1
financial, are in the cities, we shall
cry out in vain against the exodus
from the farm. Whenever we be-
gin to plan the farm as a perma-
nent place to live and the best place
to enjoy life, then the farm will be
in condition at least to state It's

Breach, Of Faith Imputed
The inequity of the plaintiffs

authorities holding that under cir
cumstances similar to these shown
by the evidence in this case plain
tiffs are guilty of laches. However
that may be, the. lack of equity in
favor Of the plaintiffs necessarily
prompts the court to inquire search
ingly into the rights of plaintiffs
to maintain this suit at all. This
is what Is ordinarily referred 20

ceedings it is necessary that plain
tiff plead and prove that some
act has been Committed. or is
