understanding can fight the League
with a program ahead of it like it has,
is beyond the thinking man:
Here is a story from a paper that is
not a Nonpartisan paper, in name Sor
outward showing, even if it is fighting
for the same cause:
"Roy Shaw Of Hickman, KY, sold
200 pounds of wool, sufficient to make
80 suits of clothing, for $50 with which
he went out and bought his son a suit.
"Shaw got 80 cents a pound for his
wool. -Four pounds Of wool are re-
quired for a suit of clothing. On that
basis the man who sells the 200 pounds
when it is made up into suits of cloth
ing at $50 apiece, will get $4,000. AL
lowing one-half for labor and ma
t~erials, the net profit on the 200 pounds
ought to be in the neighborhood Of
$1,5OO."-The Search Light, Blooming

admit the truth of a story from Hick-

RAILROAD RATE
INCREASE NOW
IN OPERATION

The order of the interstate COM
MERGE commission calling for a IS per
cent increase in freight rates and a
20 per cent increase in passenger fares
is now operative throughout the ma
ton. At the same time it authorized
these increases the interstate com
MERGE commission denied requests on
the part Of the railroads for higher
milk and cream rates, and a 80 per
cent Pullman surcharge.
Recently the action of the Interstate
commerce commission came before the
North Dakota railroad commissioners,
the duty of this board being to estab-
lish rates on traffic originating and
Terminating within the state.
Upon analysing the situation, the
state commission discovered that in
the event it denied the increases asked
for, the national commission would
override it . In such a contingency the
former body would lose it's jurisdiction
in intrastate rates. While realizing
that there is a considerable disparity
in the Minnesota and North Dakota
rates, the state commission felt it
would be futile for it to attempt nulli-
flying the action Of the national com
mission which is given plenary powers
under the Esch-Cummins bill. There
fore, it. approved the schedule. At an
early date, however, a vigorous attack
will be made upon this glaring evil.
Denies Pullman Increase.
The order of the state commission
has the following to say about the
Pullman Surcharge:
"A surcharge on sleeping and parlor
car fares does not appear to be a
proper method for securing revenue,
for the reason that there appears to be
no separate and severable service per-
formed by the carrier to the patron. i
1.-The patrons pay to the sleeping car
company a rate to proviGe operation
emu and return for such company,
the sleeping car company operating
under a contract arrangement, with the
carriers. The commission granted in
creased sleeping and parlor car rates
recently, n Of the factors in in

creased contract consideration paid to

Therefore the commission is Of the
opinion and finds that the application

A new despatch from st. james
Mimi, relating the details of a brutal
assault committed upon the person Of
a 7O~-year-old farmer at that place,
should make North Dakota farmers
doubly appreciate their good fortune in
having such a'powerful and militant
organization as the N%onpartisan Lea
que to protect their economic interests
and teach the rOwdy element in this
state the folly Of resorting to hard
boiled, cave-man methods.
Recently a number Of N~onpartisan
League farmers residing in the vicinity
of st. James assembled for a meeting
in the sample room Of the Boston hotel
there. Scarcely had the presiding Of
ficer taken his seat when school stu
dents, hailing largely from the homes
Of would-be p%lutocrats, surrounded the
hosiery and began calling the farmers
vile epithets through the windows.
Windows Closed.
Later the Nonpartisans closed all
outside windows and proceeded with
their meeting. licensed because Of
this, the school vandals secured sew
eral lengths of firehose and began
pouring a stream Of water upon the
hotel. Grabbing a revolver, the pro-
prietor rushed into the street, defend
ing his property with it. Later a
delegation Of business men took the
crowd in tow, ordering the self-styled,
hard-boiled upstairs to keep their
places and behave themselves.
When the farmers filed out of the
hotel halfmeons of tobacco Juice were
expectOrated at them. missiles and sui
phur candles also being hurled in their
direction.
Attack Automobile.
Repeated efforts were made by the
hoodlums to prevent Gottfried Miller
and two friends from leaving town by
automobile. Long scantling were
placed in the front wheels of the
Miller automobile in such a manner as
to prevent them from rotating. Event
ually the occupants succeeded in get
ting the machine started; just after
they headed toward home, however,
one vandal leaped to the running-board
Of the car, hitting a man who sat in
the rear seat with his Est.
One ~70-year-old farmer from Butter
field, Mimi, was attacked by the mob
and beaten up. He would probably
have been killed but for the mayor,
who rushed to his aid, driving of the
lawless hOOdlums.

When the rust is in the g~rainfields
And the hoppers do their share,
When your creditors r haunting
you
No one blames you if you swear.
Debts piled high as the time fies by,
Is what the wheat farmer has to
buck
Unless he has learned to diversity,
And not only trust to luck.
We're in a semi-arid region,
Where wheat cannot be raised
For many years without a change
And by livestock be replaced.
Hoppers and rust are not the only
things,
With which we must contend,
But the idea that wheat is King"
Must either break or bend.
Wheat is all right in it's place,
Like a great many other things,
But year after year, without a change
Well-you know what that brings.
Depleted soils that blow away
Each time a breeze comes up,
Year after year you've a smaller
chance
Of raising that bumper crop.
Twenty-Five sheep on every farm,
Ten dairy COWS or more,
It won't take long to make you wish
That you had answered the call be-
fore.

That's the handwriting on tho wall.
Get into the game, you'll never regret
The day that you answered the call,

II HAD NO IDEA ANYTHING

TANLAC HAS,, SHE SAID

81 never had an idea there was a
medicine in the world that could so
quickly and so thoroughly restore any
ones health as Tanlac has mine,"
said Mrs. Albert Sheffield $40 Wood
bridge Street, st. Paul, Mimi, recent
ly.
"For a year I had suffered so badly
from indigestion that it seemed to at
feet my whole system. My appetite
was so poor I just had to force down
every mouthful I ate. After every
meal my heart palpitated dreadfully,
I suffered terribly from shortness of
breath, and there would be intense
pains in the pit of my stomach. My
nerves were 50 badly shattered the
least little noise upset me and it was
almost impossible for me to sleep. I
suffered with severe headaches and
often had such dizzy spells I could
hardly stand up. I was in such a bad
fix and at times was so restless at
night I just had to get up and walk
the floor. I continued getting worse,
finally becoming so weak it was i'm
possible for me to do my homework.
"As soon as I began taking Tanlac
1 commenced getting better, and now
after taking only six bottles I have
regained my strength so I can do my
homework without a particle of
trouble. In fact, I am in perfect health
every way and was eight pounds heav-
Ter by the time I had finished my
third bottle of Tanlac and have been
steadily gaining in weight ever since.
I have a splendid appetite, eat any
thing and never have a sign of indi-
gestion. I never have a headache nor
get dizzy any more and my nerves
are in such good condition I can sleep
like a child all night long. I wouldn't
take anything in the world for the
good Tanlac has done me-"
