YOUNG WORKING
HARD FOR TICKET

Newburg, N. D., June 5.-Congress-
man George NJ. Young, who wound up
a three day campaign in Bottineau
county Thursday evening, made a
strong plea for the election of the
entire ticket endorsed at Minot and
made special reference to Arthur
White Of Bottineau county, the repub-
lican candidate for commissioner of
agriculture and labor. The fitness of
White for the position is summed up
in the compliment paid him by Young
who said:
81 am proud to be on the same tick
ct with a man like Arthur White of
Bottineau county. The people of
North Dakota are to be congratulate
ed upon having the opportunity to
vote for and elect. him to Office. He is
we'll known throughout the state, par
ticularly among breeders and stock
raisers. Before the war Arthur White
was the third largest breeder of
Percheron horses and shorthorn cat
Gle in the United States and at the
present time is president of the North
Dakota Live Stock Association.
HE is known as one of the most
successful stock farmers of North Da-
kota. He owns beautiful farm seven
miles northeast of Kramer and four
teen miles southwest of Bottineau
city. He has always been an active
worker in social and community life
in his county and on his farm MAIN
tains at his own expense a public hall
which is open to the farmers of his
vicinity for farm club meetings and
other community events
Bottineau county, it is claimed will
show marked reversion in the vote
June 80 from the former strong
Townley support. Bottineau county
had the record of not having to fur
nish a single man for the first draft
as more than the quota had enlisted
largely due to the activity Of Captain
John w. Grant, later commander of
Headquarters company of the old
First North Dakota Infantry. Grant
and other service men are now active
ly working in the county against
Townleyism They are blaming upon
Governor Frazier the release of Kate
Richards O'Hare, agreeing that Pres
ident Wilson relied on the judgment of
the governor and did not himself in
veStigate.

OF INTEREST TO
LOCAL MERCHANTS

Local merchants who are interested
in retail advertising, will have the
opportunity to listen to an instructive
talk on the proper preparation of ad-
vertising copy, at the Thursday after
noon session of the Retail Merchants
Association
Mr.. John H. DeWild of the North
west Commercial Bulletin, of St. Paul
and Minneapolis, will be the speaker.
Mr.. DeWild has been printer, country
newspaper publisher, window trimmer,
show card writer, and later became
advertising manager of some of the
largest retail stores in Minneapolis,
and was for four years in the adver
Using department of the Minneapolis
Tribune.
The proper preparation of copy has
a great deal to do with the selling of
merchandise in Mr.. DeWild's estima
ton, and not only creates sales imme-
diately, but advertising copy properly
prepared add much to the desirability
of the merchandise.
Advertising creates demand, and
assists the prospective customer, liv-
ing perhaps fifteen miles out in the
country, to visualize that merchan-
disc, and often times the result has
been that the customer entered the
store ready to purchase, without hav-
ing seen the goods in which she is
interested.
"Too many merchants resort to gen.
eralities in their advertising copy and
this fails to make Sales" said Mr.. De-
wild ~, n rooopt int orx,io1r Tim orro1v
afternoon will be demonstrated, what
proper copy is, and it will be an OPP
portunity for merchants and those in
charge of their advertising, to listen
to an instructive talk.

Which Flag?
Do you believe that we in North Dakota
should permit the anarchists who shot our SOL
der boys on .Armistice Day to parade thru the
streets of our cities carrying the red flag, in
front of their procession? Do you believe that
we should tolerate in our midst anywhere, the
emblem of an organization which puts in its
official song-book such sacrilege as this:
"Onward Christian soldiers! Duty's way is plain:
Stay your Christian neighbours or by them be slain.
Pupiteers spouting effervescent swill,
God above is calling you to rob and rape and KILL
All your acts sanctioned by the Lamb on high;
you love the Holy Ghost 60 murder, pray and die"
And such melting to revolution as this:
Come on, you fellows: get in line We'll fill the boss
with fears
Reds the of fag it's stained with blood and
Wen out in his ugly mug and ring oudest cheers
For ONE BIG INDUSTRIAL UNION!

The State Sheriff Law

Why should the voters Of North Dakota Gre
ate another law-enforcing office with an appro-
priation Of $4,000, and with loop-hole for an
unlimited possible expense?
We have constables and justices of the peace
in every township and in every village, police
magistrates and police force in every city, a
states attorney, sheriff and deputy sheriffs in
every county, state and county grand juries,
courts of all kinds, an attorney generals office,
licensing and inspection department. and a
National Guard, all Of it operating at the ex-
pense of the taxpayers for the purpose Of main
tanning law and order.
We have had no serious riots or outbreaks,
and there is no reason to believe that we will
have any in the near future, so why have law
adding a state sheriff and state constabulary
to all the rest of the machinery which we now
have? Do you as citizen Of North Dakota be-
lieve that it is wise to authorize the governor to
appoint state sheriff, who shall have authority
to order all county sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, and
other peace officers, to do anything he wants
them to do and to remove them from office if
they fail to do it? If the State Sheriff law is
approved on June 30th that is what will happen
in North Dakota. Talk to your neighbors about
this law. Hand them literature. Get them
along with you to meetings where they may hear
this law discussed Ask them to vote mo" on
this law on primary election day.

private letter files check books, and the records
of your lodges, your churches and your school
board in order to get material for political black
mail? If you do not, then you must vote against
the Smelling Committee law, because that law
makes it possible for committee of five men,
all of them members Of the same political faction
or party, to use $4,000 Of taxpayers money for
political purposes.
This committee, or even its chairman alone,
can cause private Investigations to be made for
private political purposes and, under the pre-
tense of making Investigations, political hench-
men Of the Nonpartisan League can be kept at
work in every county in the state for the benefit
of the League tickets at the expense Of all tax
payers, League or not League.
It may be true of few members of the Nom
partisan League as it is of most of the leaders
in it, that they would want such law in opera
ton for the purpose of gaining political advan-
tage over those that are opposed to them but
certainly majority of the league members are
too honorable to want to use either the money,
records or offices of the state government as a
means of profit for themselves or for the pur-
pose Of promoting their personal political be-
liefs or getting their personal friends into pub
lie office 1t is well to remember that any law
that works unfairly in favor of the League and
against those opposed to it, will work just as
unfairly against the League and in favor OF
those who oppose it.
No political gang of any kind will ever get
chance to use this law if the people vote it down
now.
Talk to your neighbors about how needless,
expensive and dangerous this law is, and get
them to agree with you that they are going to
vote it down.

The Absent Voters Law

Do you believe it would be wise thing for
the voters of North Dakota to so amend the
Absent Voters law as to make it possible for
people who are not electors to vote in any pre-
cinct they may choose, by means Of the Absent
Voters ballot?
Do you believe that the women Of our state
should be put in such position that they will
have to mark their ballots in the presence Of a
political agent, whether he is member of the
Nonpartisan League, the l. V. A. or any other
organization that is especially interested in our
political situation?
1t is well enough to propose to make it easier
for the women to vote, but if that were the
whole motive, why not leave the law in such
shape as to protect the secrecy Of the ballot,
which was guaranteed to every citizen that has
come into our state? Tell your neighbors about
this law and ask them to vote mo" on it.

In an interview with a member

urday morning the true worth of
the efforts of the director, Prof.
S. S. Myers, were brought to
light. The students and other
members who took part in the
Messiah, have been in training
since first Of last term, meeting
weekly, in the auditorium, where
under the capable dictatorship of
Prof. Myers, voices of students
some of whom never having had
instruction in voice, went thru
thorough training, and on the
night of the rendition of Handels
proved themselves
worthy of handling this great
work.
Such men as Professor Myers
are a great asset to any COM
munity, and the Eastern State
Normal School is to be congrat-
ulated in having secured the ser
vices of such man on their fac
ulty staff.

Three surgeons from southern

field here for their line. "The trees
here seem to be in healthy condi-
tom, said r. A. Campbell, one of the
surgeons, in discussing trees generally
He stated that in larger cities the
trees We're in more danger of being
injured, that their growth and protec-
ton was not given proper attention
which caused many beautiful trees to
die.
preserve your trees, said Mr..
Campbell, "at any cost, although the
cost is nominal, and you will appre-
ciate it in the future, since a beautiful
tree is becoming more scarce each
year, and it requires considerable
time to grow them. 1 would advise
all to look after the shrubbery and es-
pecially trees and to plant a tree
wherever the opportunity permits,
for there will come time when this
tree will be appreciated great deal
more than at present"
The surgeon stated that in some
localities, the tree had been practical
ly eliminated, and that there were
some "grand old trees" in Richmond
and vicinity and that they were land
marks that should be allowed to grow
undisturbed.
