LARGE TOMATO
 CROP READY TO
 BE FREIGHTED

Tyler, Texas, June s.---The move ment of a million dollar tomato crop from that section of country lying be- tween Tyler and Alto, a distance of 40 miles, is task that confronts the Cotton Belt road during the next four weeks. More than one thousand cars will be shipped from East Texas grow ing region. Every siding along this short strip of road is damned with re- fr1gerator cars waiting to be loaded and dispatched to markets in the north and east. Fully 800 of these cars are parked within easy reach of the load ing sheds.
 On the eve. of the tomato nov ent in East Texas, the crop looks more promising than it has in many years. The yield is heavier and the fruit is cholser according to the growers. Up to this time, the weather has been ideal for the growing and maturing of the crop since the Easter freeze.
 Time has proven that the damage at that time was much less than was originally thought. The movement will be equally as large as last year
 and quality even better.
 At many of the best shipping points
 packing heds have been erected and the farmers will load their tomatoes through these sheds, which will enable them to handle much larger acreages
  grades and packs.
 Buyers from all parts of the United States are gathering in Tyler and Jacksonville and prospects are good for a great demand. Statistics by the Bureau of Markets show that the car movement of ,matoes from other shipping sections ling the last month has been only about 60 per cent of the normal movement f-- May.
 Under normal conditions this year, toTna to growers should receive from $500 to $500 per acre off their tomatoes. Some of the picked crops will show a yield of S1 900 per acre.

VICTORY TICKET SKETCHES
For State Treasurer, John Steen

The Victory Ticket candidate for
the office of state treasurer is farm
er. His farm is his first consideration.
The government of his state is his
next.
Years ago John Stems farm near
Rugby, Pierce county, was called the
model farm. Photographs were taken
of it and sent throughout the United
States to show what man may do
who comes to North Dakota, tills her
fertile fields and keeps on the job.
Mr.. Steen knows what he is talking
about when he tells about the laxities
of the Frazier regime. For he is a
former treasurer of Pierce county and
he served term as state treasurer.
He is we'll known throughout the
state for he campaigned against Fraz-
ier for governor.
Mr.. Steen is a Norwegian by birth
but his Americanism knows no hy-
phen. He is one of four men Of Nor
wegian origin on the anti-TOwnley
ticket. while none was endorsed by
Townley. but he makes his bid for sup
port on a record of undiluted Ameri
canism

intensive activity. Great responsible
ity for success in this competition and
70" success as a community rests up
on us as Commercial club.
"We want to make this the best
year Bismarck has had, and to 10 this;
we must work together. Your cO-ope-
Grafton right now today, in the man
ner suggested will be greatly appr7-
ciatcd by your board of directors.'
The Commercial club budget calls
for $4,000 In some years it has
been raised before noon on the day
or which the campaign was made
The directors, believing that the club
with George N. Remission as secretary
has accomplished more during the past
year than ever before and faces big
ger task this year than ever before
hope for even better co-operatic,l This
year.

tos of Minot, who was candidate for
the Republican nomination at the Mi
not convention, but defeated by At
torney General William Langcr, in
vaded Benson county this week to
champion the cause of the, LANCER
ticket, the Minot platform, and the
entire Anti-Socialistic program.
He gave short sketch of the his
tory of the nonpartisan league from
it's inception down to the present day,
showed the close corporation between
A. C. Townley, A. BoWmen, F. B. Wood,
all socialists and other nonpartisan
league agitatOrs with the |. w. W.
organizations. He expressed conf
dence in Mr.. LANCER personally and
the strength of the Republican ticket,
and was glad to note the anxiety on
the part Of the voters of the state to
get real truth as to the issues now be-
fore them.
He showed the viciousness of the
absent voters law the smelling com
mittee bill and the uselessness OF
the state sheriff bill. He also urged
the adoption of the anti-rcd flag law,
and commended the Independent Vot-
ers' association for the excellent work
they are doing in the fight against
TOwnleyism in North Dakota.
