SAVE A LIFE

Another appeal for relief in the
Near East, to save the lives of thous-
ands of starving women and children,
is being made all over the United
States. Barnes county citizens will
be asked to contribute to this cause
during the week of November /. A
committee for each community in the
county will be appointed, and the per-
sonnet of these committees will be an
nounced next week. Barnes county's
thousands ought to be glad to keep at
least go helpless orphans from death
by starvation. Sixty dollars will keep
one person alive for a year. Save a
life! Get ready for the week of No
vember 1st.

A "FRIEND OF THE FARMER"

The price OF wheat IS the Dig issue,
in fact the predominating issue, in this
campaign, Mr.. emLke maintains.
" All right. Let's take his word for
it. g 81
Mr.. Lemke's gang has been in full
control of every department Of the
state government for four years. His
gang has elected the state officers, the
members Of the legislature and even
the candidates for supreme court JUS
tees Endorsed by them.
And the price of wheat has dropped
so to rs cents under the cost of pro-
duction.
Who's to blame?
Surely not the independent candi-
dates who were defeated.
Mr. Lemke's candidates were elected
on a platform that promised better
marketing conditions for the farmers.
But after four years, we have the
worst marketing conditions the farm
ers of North Dakota have ever known.
The price of wheat is farther under
the cost of production today than it
ever was.
Are the same old promises going to
work again? Are the farmers OF
North Dakota going to be content with
tripled taxes and page after page of
vituperation against the Banker
gamblers from the papers they gave
Mr.. Lemke? Or are they going to de-
mand some results?
And not only have Mr.. Lemke and
his Socialist gang done nothing to bet
ter marketing conditions, but they
gave the farmers some Anticipated ad-
vice on the wheat market which, if it
was followed, caused the farmers to
lose the one opportunity they had to
get out even or nearly so. If Messrs.
Lemke, Ladd and McGovern had been
muzzled last August many a farmer
would have realized so to IS cents
more per bushel for his wheat than
he now can. And now Mr.. Lemke
wants the Forum to advise these
farmers who have lost so to IS cents
a bushel on his advice, as to what they
should do to get out of the hole he
pulled them into.
1t won't do much good to ask the
state mill to pay $2.65 for wheat, nor
will it be any more effective to go to
the Bank of North Dakota and ask for
loan to carry the wheat until the
state mill does pay $2.65, which is the
figure quite generally accepted as the
cost of production. No, the farmers
still must go to the gamblers" to
market their wheat and to the much
despised "bankers" to borrow money
to carry it while they are trying to
get back the money Mr.. Lemke lost
for them. We hope they will get it
back. But Mr.. Lemke and his gang
will not be entitled to any Of the Gre
dit for it if they do.
And the papers Mr.. Len1ke is using
to give this costly advice to the farm
ers and to get himself elected to politi-
cal Office, are those which the farmers
gave him for being their friend" He
has since established "close relations
between these newspapers and the
soviet government of Russia, which
advocates the confscation of all lands
by the government. We regret that
the restrictions of polite English bar
us from expressing our real opinion
of just what kind of "friend Of the
farmer" Mr.. emLke is.-Fargo Forum

Valley City Normal %.
Football is on the program at ".
C.. N. this year. The experiences Of
last year with its one game and that
a defeat, with its limited number Of
experienced players, with its lack Of
time to- train, green men, and with its
long wait for an Indian summer that
didn't arrive, was most unfavorable to
strong preseason hopes. #
The enthusiasm Of the early en-
trants and the continuous arrival of
new material turned the tables and
there is something doing in football
A squad Of over twenty men are out
every night learning the game and q
schedule has been arranged. The first
game Of the season was with James
town College at Jamestown played
yesterday. .s 32s.$--
Week after next, on Friday, Oct.
18th the team journeys to Glendale to
play the State Normal and Industrial
School. On November 7th the only
home game takes place. This game
is with the Lisbon High, the team
that defeated the Valley City High
School in their first game.
Of the old. players seen at practice
are Babe" Personals, Sam" Story,

The democratic candidates won't get
far with the American voter by criti-

for the senate, the league of nations
would have been adopted just exactly
as it was constructed by Mr.. Wilson,.
Wilson wanted no reservations or in
terpretations of any kind. He finally
said he would not object to interpre-
tative additions, which would not
change the purpose and effect Of the
covenant as he framed it, but he never
took any step to secure changes that
would protect America. That duty
fell to the senate and the senate did
not shirk. Mr.. Cox will not help his
cause by belaboring the senate.

party has already taken, there is no
need to wait until after election. But
the efforts of the democratic admin
