JOHN SNYDER CIRCULATING
PETITION

John R. Snyder, former county
auditor of Emmons county, arrived
from Bismarck Friday night and has
been busy getting out his petitions
as a candidate for county auditor in
the coming elections. Mr.. Snyder
was endorsed for the Office at the
anti-Townley convention held in Lin,
ton April 18th, and is generally con-
ceded to be one Of the strongest vote
getters on the ticket.
When. he was ,endorssi.sAl1e local
league paper tried to create the i'm
preston that he was living in Mis-
souri,. Such is not the case. Mr..
Snyder does own some property in
Missouri. and spent few months
there. However, since early last
year he has been a state employe, and
since January has been checking the
county treasurer's books in Bowman
county with the result that former
county treasurer has been arrested
for an alleged shortage of some eight
or nine thousand dollars, and will no
doubt plead guilty.
Much of the rest Of the time since
retiring from the Office # county au-
ditor, Mr.. Snyder has been working
either in the state auditors Office, or
FOR the government. During the war
he was in the emnloy of Uncle Sam.
nv. Snyder has at all times re-
tanned his residence in Emmons coun-
ty, paying school and po!l tax every
wear. in addition to his property
taxes.
First-hand information gained in
Iis work at the capftol has had
much to do with making Mr.. Snyder
such dyed-in-the-wool- anti Town
'eyite. It is safe bet that he will
not be low man of the bunch when
the votes are counted June 30th.

Teachers examinations are being
held Thursday and Friday of this
week and Teachers Reading Circle
examination will be held Saturday.
The Council of Normal School
Presidents has designated as "Teach-
ers' Week" May 10th and 18th. We
havs been appointed chairman for
this ceanty and are appointing one
teacher in each district to act as
local chairman. We are mailing out
booklets to the various schools. So
many teachers are leaving the profes.
sion therefore public sentiment must
be aroused to the need of raising sal
aries. That is the first great point
to be emphasized. The second is
'The Call to our Young People to
Enter the Teaching Profession" Our
normal schools are running at about
one-fourth capacity. We have talk
ed "Back. to the Farm" "Be Rural
Minded" etc. Now let us talk "Back
to Teaching" "Be Teacher Minded. ("

to the fact that if the Democracy is
to be saved the masses must be ed
ucated. Over 10000 teachers in
America this year had nothing more
than an eighth grade education.
Provision can be made now to bond
for building school houses. Hold
yorr election the same as before, but
first get the blanks from the Land
Dept, State of North Dakota. You
will not get the money but after the
Land Dept. has allowed the bonds
you can then very likely make some
arrangement with a local bank to get
the money until the state can let you
have it. ~
The new school laws will be out
soon.
An Essay contest has been started
for Teachers Week." The subject
is "Why Prepare for Teaching. /"
There are three divisions. in this con-
test:/ One for grade pupils, one for
high school pupils and one for Nor

must not be more than five hundred
words in length and should be written

Each teacher will send in the best es-
say from her school, and we will pick
out the best one and send it in to
the State Director.

WHERE THE MONEY GOES

IN comparison with the promises
and claims of the leaders of the Nom
partisan league that if the farmers
would place the league candidates in
to state offices, all taxes would be
materially lowered, it is interesting
to investigate statement prepared
in the state tax commissioners Office
covering state taxes FROM 1915 to
1919, and note how these promises
have been fulfilled.
In spite of the fact that the special
session of the legislature reduced the
general fund levy 25 per cent, or ap-
proximately 100000 the amount
needed for the general fund under
the league controlled state admins
tration increased 64:99 per cent over
the amount needed in 1918.
The amounts raised for the general
amount of increase over each previ-
Gus year are as follows:

MAN KILLED BY TRACTOR
Louis Kaiser, Living North of Hazel
ton, Ground to Death Under Wheel
Body Found Following Day

Louis Kaiser, living six miles north
of Hazelton, was found, ground to
death Wednesday night under the
wheel of his Titan tractor while plow,
ing on his farm. The body was dis
covered the following day, about noon,
by neighbor, L. D. Briggs, who re-
ported the horrible accident to the au-
thorities. ..
The deceased had been having some
trouble with the tractor and had re-
pair man cut from Hazelton Wednes-
day afternoon about 4 o'clock He
had plowed about three burrows at
that time. When the body was found,
AN additional three or four burrows
had been turned over, so the accident
must have happened late in the after
noon. The scene of the accident indi-
Gated that the plows had come loose
from the engine and that Kaiser had
backed up to hook them on again.
He appeared to have thrown on all
the gas he could, and struck the plows
before he could stop the engine. Either
fear of being struck by the plows had
causd him to jump, or the jar of the
impact had thrown him from his seat.
for he was underneath one of the rear
wheels, the lower part of his body
ground to pieces. The wheel had
continued to spin until it had dug down
so low that the frame Of the machine
rested on the ground. The plows were
badly smashed.
Thursday noon, l.. D. Briggs was
driving to Hazelton and saw the plow-
ing outfit standing alongside the road,
the field bordering on the road. He
noticed the engine somewhat tilted to
one side, but thought nothing of it at
first. He drove by some distance, and
finally noticed Kaiser's denim jacket
on the opposH lide of the machine by
the reas wheef. He went back to i'm
vestigate and discovered the dead body
of the victim. Sitting stolidly by the
corpse was Kaiser's pet dog. The
: faithful animal had no doubt kept vigil
over his masters body the entire night'
The authorities at Linton were i'm,
mediately notified and Attorney Harry
Lynn and Ted Bremen drove to the
scene of the accident. The deceased
was 9 bachelor of middle age, and
lived alone on his place. There are
no relatives hereabouts, and efforts
are being made to find his next of kin.
Louis Kaiser came to Emmons county
some years.! 70 and purchased the
Hattie Hubbard homestead. He was
of Finnish extraction.
Just how the accident happened will
never be known, but it seems that Kai-
-.ser's clothes caught on the logs of the
rear wheel either by his falling against
the wheel or in his effort to jump off
the machine. The position of the
body Indicated that he had tried to
pull himself out of the way Of the
wheel that was grinding him to pieces.
He was lying face down, both hands
crossed under him. One leg had been
thrown up over the body and crushed.
The other was pinned under the wheel.
The big engine wehel had ground away
at the body from a point near the
waist. Lugs of the wheel were brok-
en- off, stones had been thrown several
yards to the front, and a large mound
Of dirt had piled up by the wheel.

FRANCE RESTORES
ITSFARM|NG LAND

NEW YORK. Nov. within two
years after the armistice France has
practically remade the vast area OF
her agricultural soil which was pit
ted and SCARED beyond usefulness
by the ravages of the war.
Figures received by the French
commission, In New York, show that
out Of 100000 acres which were rem
dered unfit for cultivation by the eff
fects Of battle from 1914 to 1918, only
$50 600 acres will not be in condition
to permit of sowing next spring.
The rest OF the agricultural area
has been restored, or will be restored,
by the end Of The current year. The
reports to the commission show that
100000 acres, or more than half
OF the devastated farm land are al
ready under cultivation. The harvest
has been so good that the French
government has been enabled to can
eel contracts for the import OF
South American wheat Into France.
Considering that rye and barley are
used for bread making In France, IL
Ia reckoned that the crop situation
practically insurcs complete success
in feeding tho nation with home
grown cereals. last year II was
necessary to import Al 100000 hum
dredweight Of wheat. The improve
ment means a national saving In
money and an agricultural restora-
ton which brings a measure OF pros.

population, which had previously

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Nov. Movie
photographers were at the zoo few
DAYS ago, taking pictures OF the
roaring lions and the big fat hippo.
The latter grunted disdainfully at the
camera men. who are making the
pictures under the auspices Of the
Philadelphia Geological Society, with
a camera perfected by Carl E. Axe
lev, of the American Museum Of
Natural History.
To get some real action a dummy
of a man was placed in the cage of
the Alaskan brown bears, which were
pacing restlessly up and down. Cau-
tiously they approached, smiling the
air and cycling the PROSTATE figure
of the man suspiciously. Sudden
ly they roared and with one accord
leaped on the body" and angrily tore
Il into shreds, while outside the
man with the camera reeled of sew
eral hundred feet OF films. and the
people who were watching shu'dered.
Then they "shot" the bearded gnu,
the Douglas Fairbanks of the ami
NAL actors. Round and round the
Enclosure he raced, bucking like an
untamed bronco and even assaying to
smile as he looked at the camera.
