RESTRICTION ON
 SUNDAY SELLING
ATTY GEN. ARBUCKLE WRITES MAYOR NORMENT AND GIVES HIS OPINION ON THE SUM DAY LAW.

Several weeks ago, by action Of the city council, operators of res taurants were notified that they must not sell soft drinks on Sun day. Some controversy later arose as to whether or not soft drinks could be served with doughnuts or cuts of pie or with regular meals Mayor Norment wrote to Attorney General Arbuckle for his opinion on Sunday selling, and this week he replied as follows:
 "In reply to your letter of the first instance, pertaining to the sale of soft drinks on Sunday, beg to state:
 'Tn the opinion of this office, soft drinks, such as coca-cola, lime ades, etc, cannot be sold on Sunday any more than can other articles of merchandise, such as coal oil, vinegar, etc.
 "However, I know of no statute of this state which would prevent a restaurant being run as a res taurant, from keeping open and serv- ing meals oh Sunday and if as part of such meals coca-cola, lime ades, etc, are served as part ot the meal I am inclined to think that the person so serving such soft drinks would not be~ amenable to the law of this state any more than should coffee be served.
 ''This would not mean that a person would be allowed to run and keep open cold drink stand on Sunday merely because he served at such stand sandwiches or some other form of lunch of this na- ture. when the sale of cold drinks constituted the main business being carried on."

LABOR FOUGHT TO KEEP DOWN
PRICE OF FARMERS WHEAT
forts We're largerly responsible "for
getting the final results that were Sc
cured for wheat.")

forts We're largerly responsible "for
cured for wheat"
Townley Opposed An Increase
An interesting second chapter Of the
fixing Of the price Of wheat is. pre-
scented in the amendment Of Senator
Gore to the Agricultural Appropria-
ton Bill before the United States
Congress in May, 1918. This amend
ment was to fix the price Of wheat
at $3.50 per bushel under the Lever
Food Act for 1918--1919 crops. The
Gore amendment passed the Senate by
a two-thirds vote, for making the
price for wheat $3.50 per bushel at
the elevator.
The bill was then sent to the House
with good prospects Of it's being pass
ed, until A. G. Townley, President OF
the National Nonpartisan League, on
May 80, 1918, sent the following tele-
gram to Washington:
do not be misinf Ormed by pol
iticians. The farmers of the
Northwest tcheerfully acquiesce in
your decision fixing wheat prices
on the basis Of the 1917 crop"
IOWnley asserted that ne repre-
scented $4,000 farmers.
The bill failed to pass the House.
The price of wheat remained at 1920
per bushel at the terminal. which is
approximately not more than $2.15
and as low as $2.11 at the country ele-
vators Of Minnesota and North Da-
kota. The farmers of Minnesota and
North Dakota lost hundreds of mil
lions of dollars in 1918 and in 1919,
largely because the efforts of labor
and the advice of A. c. Townley to
keep down the price of the farmers
wheat were successful. .
These are documentary facts which
cannot be disputed

Saws Prof. E. F. Ladd, NOnpartisan
Candidate for U. S. Senator
h. from North Dakota.

How can the farmers Of Minnesota
accept the declaration the Socialist
leaders of the Nonpartisan League
that the interests Of the farmers and
organized labor are identical?
Their interests cannot be the same
The farmer must have fair price
/ for his product, and organized labor's
only interest is to secure the farmer
products at the lowest possible price
That this is true is shown by the
following quotation from statement
by DR.. E. F. Ladd, Nonpartisan League
candidate for the United States Sen
ate from North Dakota, printed in the
official organ of the Nonpartisan
Leapue-The Fargo Courier News
on September 3, 1917:
"Under the circumstances
consider the farmers Of the
Z Northwest lucky to get the price
they got for their wheat, ($2.20
per busheD, said DR.. E. F. Ladd,
president Of North Dakota's Ag-
ricultural College and one of the
twelve members of the Federal
Board that fixed the minimum
wheat price last week aug. 1870
in Washington.
"Union Labor exerted a power
full influence upon the Board, be-
ing well represented there, for
holding wheat at that figure ($1.85
bushel). New York and the
large industrial centers where the
laboring population is large, want
ed cheap bread and were deter
mined to hold the price of wheat
down to get it, and tremendous
pressure was brought to bear on
the Board to prevent the farmers
from the western states from get
ting a fair price for their grain"
(Note-Farmers Of the Northwest
will recall the National Price Fixing
Committee of which DR.. Garfield was
Chairman and Professor Ladd mem
Der, which held it's session in Wash
ington in August, 1917, when wheat
was selling on the open market at
more than $500 per bushel. The COM
mittee finally fixed the price at 1920
per bushel at the terminals, notwith-
standing the efforts Of the labor men,
bers of the committee and labor rep
resentatives to force the price down
to $1.85. During the sessions of this
committee, neither A. C. Townley nor
any other leader of the Nonpartisan
League appeared before the price-fx-
ing committee on behalf of the farm
ers Of the Northwest; but a commit
tee Of prominent farmers from four
counties of North Dakota FASTENED to
Washington at their own expense and
made fight for at least $3.50 per
bushel. According to personal let
ter written by Professor Ladd to a
member of this committee, their eff
