Fargo, N. D., May 15.-An entire
state ticket headed by Governor Lynn
j. Frazier, United States senator,
three congressman and one Justice for.
the state supreme court were endors-
ed by the National Nonpartisan league
which held its state convention here
yesterday.
Moving swiftly to it's work yester-
day afternoon upon reconvening after
adjournment at noon, the convention
quickly endorsed candidates for gov
ernor, lieutenant governor, commits
sioner of agriculture and labor, and
commissioner of insurance by accla-
nation, no contests for the endorse
ment being made. Yesterdays en-
dorsements will be ratified by four
district conventions to be held in va
rious parts of the state in June.
A Big Surprise
The biggest surprise of the meet
ing came when William Lemke, vice
president of the Nonpartisan league
was nominated by reclamation for
attorney general and E. F. Ladd, pres
ident of the North Dakota Agricul-
tural College, was chosen for United
States senator over Senator A. +.
Gronna, incumbent.
Senator Gronna's name was placed
before the convention for endorse
ment when A. c. Townley, president
of the league, asked for the floor and
delivered a speech in opposition to
the senator, mentioning Or. Ladd as
senatorial possibility. He disclaim-
ed any intention of nominating DR..
Ladd, but declared the league needed
representative in the senate, who
would work for it and asserted that
Senator Gnnna was not for the
league. After Mr.. Townley's speech,
Or. Ladd's name was placed in nom
nation and in the balloting he re-
celved 44 votes against nine FOR Mr..
Gronna. Previously Mr. Townley de-
hvered a talk from his seat, support
ing. VIM. Lemke who was endorsed
without opposition.
The ticket endorsed by the Nation
al Nonpartitan League in conventions
here today follows:
Governor-Lynn J. Frazier, (incum-
bent)

Wood. (incumbent).

Gronna Turned Down by League; Will
BE A Candidate


Washington, D. c., May IT, United
States Senator A. j. Gronna of North
Dakota has persistently refused tt
be interviewed since the news Of the
political conventions was flashed Owe,
the wires.
The Forum representative saw
Senator Gronna this morning. He
still refuses to give statement to
the public.
It is learned from close friends of
the senator that he has talked more
freely to them, although he has not
even to them declared his intentions
He has told them that he never wrote
letter or sent telegram to North
Dakota asking for an endorsement
from either convention, and that no
one was ever authorized to work for
him or present his name at either
convention.
Senator Gronna's friends add that
while he has not said what he will
do, they believe he will be a candi-
date, that his fighting blood is up, and
that he will enter the campaign vigor-
ously.

'The figures for hogs and sheer
show a similar reduction. In nine
years hogs have dropped from 800 tc
600 head for each thousand persons
and sheep from $50 to $50 head"
Doctor McCampbell said the meat
consumption Of the country is increas

"The consumer must look for high
prices from now on" he said. THE
capacity Of the ranges is decreasing
and any increase In the supply Of beef
must come from the farm, where the
expense of production is much greater

According TO records of the United
States department of agriculture for
the 13 months from April 1. 1918, to
April 80. 1919, hog cholera killed 2,S15,-
o04 hogs, valued at $62,O42, 6SS.16. In
the United States. This Is the lowest
loss by numbers for similar period
In the livestock history of the United
States, but on account Of the high
price OF hogs the monetary loss was
heavy. 'For example, during the year

LIVE STOCK NOTES

Keep more sheep.
Hogs and alfalfa seem to have been
made for each other.
For the best bacon types OF hogs,
the Yorkshire and Berkshire are the
most desirable.
OF ell meats, II may be that OF the
hog will eventually prove to be the
most indispensable.
Breeders Of heavy horses have a
great outlook, IL they breed the kind
the market demands.
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1920-07-01

posed hogs were vaecinated. while still
apparently healthy, losses amounted
to only per cent, but when vaccina'
ton was deferred until the animals
showed external signs of sickness
losses averaged nearly 20 per cent
This shows that the man who puts Oh
the preventive treatment until his
hogs are sick with cholera stands only
about one chance In seven of prevent
Ing fatal results. II is important, also
to maintain hog yards and barns ia
clean and sanitary condition.

MORE LIVE STOCK DEMANDED
IL Means Less Marketing OF cropi
and Less Expense to Producer
Animals Consume Feed.

More live stock means less market
ing Of crops and less expense to those
who produce the crops. Animals con.
sumo the feed at minimum prices and
produce animal products - milk
cream, beef. pork, mutton. wool and
other articles-at prevailing prices FOR

Nowadays a woman's talents ia the
kitchen do not kindle nearly so much
admiration as a charming personal
appearance. And here she finds most
eager allies in the fashion creators,
for never in recent years were cloth
es more beautiful and becoming.
Important displays this week indi-
cate that pastel shades and white viii
be the colors most favored In summer
dresses. Also that the bodice which
Is extremely simple is most fashion
able.
This feature fits we'll into tho
scheme of the graceful white foulard
gown illustrated today, as the soft
draping of the skirt would lose dis
tinction with a more elaborate bodice.
The coin spots are green, and a crisp
white organdie collar. which stands
up about the ears. sets off and soft
