Bismarck.-North Dakota has been
invited to send one or two repre-
sentatives to Seattle in July, when the
government labor officials of the
United States and Canada will meet
with state and provincial heads to
bring about cooperation in the en-
ployment activity Of the two govern
ments.
Williston.-A wool growers ass0cia-
ton was formed here. The ass0cia-
ton aims to enroll as members all the
sheep raisers Of the territory covered
by the Missouri Yellowstone Pure
Breeders association for the most eco
nomical handling Of wool and for the
purchase and sale of sheep.
Dickinson.-Despite the continued
drought of recent years, tax money
has poured into the office of the
county treasurer at an unprecedented
rate this year. The largest single pay
ment was draft of $4,000 turned
over by the Northern Pacific railroad.

In all probability, this condition will
never happen again. By June uni
versal women suffrage should be in
effect. Only two more states are
needed, and two special sessions of
state legislatures will lbe called on
March 22d. If both ratify, the trick
will be turned.
Women suffrage will double the de-
tail work of elections and the women
will no doubt have an influence on
public affairs. AS general rule,
there will be pretty much a family
unit in voting. Few houses arg di-
vidcd among themselves.
In fact, women have always greatly
influenced elections and public mat
tiers through their influence on their
men.
Women voters will certainly make
conditions no worse, and may prove
more intelligent and conscientious
class of voters than the men.

When we read the list of league
candidates selected at the Nonpartisan
League county convention we are more
than surprised to see the name OF
Ferd. Fischer, of Hague, for county
Judge.
We had supposed that the league
would try to win by putting forward
the highest type of men. 1t was there.
fore something of surprise to find
that an ex-blind pigger of Hague had
been picked upon to rally the clans.
Only as long ago as 1915 we find
that Ferd. Fischer was the owner OF
a federal liquor license. He was not
druggist. Henc, one might believe
that he had decided to play safe with
Uncle Sam before peddling booze.
And if there were doubt in any mans
mind it would be set at rest by the
reference to the railroad records which
showed him shipping in as high as GO
cases of beer in the one month of
June, 1914, and his shipments run al
most as heavy throughout the year.
Even those who might not be in
sympathy with the liquor laws are not
yet ready to make county officers out
of ex-blind piggers, if they know it.
But Ferd. Fischer is one of the very
few in the town of Hague who has
stood pat for the Townley bunch
through thick and thin. And that
class are getting few and far between
especially in southern Emmons. So,
if they were to have a candidate from
the south end, and German at that,
it was probably Ferd. Fischer or moth
ing.
The voters of the north end may be
acquainted with Charlie Gontka, but
they aren't familiar with Ferd. Fisch-
er. It is right that they should know
the type of candidates being offered
them by the N. P. league. Gontka
is better man than Fischer, for Fisch
er hasn't even respected the laws of
the state.

The important thing now before tie
people of Emmons county who are
not mesmerized by the foxy Townley
is to profit by his example and organ
ize.
Organization is what is needed here
right now. Sentiment against Town
ley and his crew is very pronounced
Now, machinery for expressing the
sentiment is needed. Organization
will give a hundred and one advan-
tages over lack of organization. No
one man can handle all the minor de-
tails of campaign like the one we
are soon to face.
The editor of the Record is convinced
that there are plenty of men in this
county ready and willing to do their
share towards perfecting the needed
machinery to not only carry the coun-
ty, but to squeeze every vote possible
away from the Carpet-bag Reign.
Plans are now under way for such
organization, and they have the hearty
cooperation Of thinking men in every
part of the county.
Next to organization, the thing that
is most needed is for all who may have
any kind of political aspirations to
voluntarily place themselves in the
hands of their friends. There must
he no pulling at crOss-Dnrnoses from
any source in the ranks of the ants.
When the anti-league convention
meets, it should point the way for
the fight, and all those who desire a
reign of sanity rather than insanity
editor of the Record, at least, believes
in that policy and proposes to pursue
such course.

ARE WE ovERWoRKED
OR WHAT?

Benjamin Franklin, century ago,
believed what we now know to be
true, that people who live in the
forest, in open barns, or with open
windows, do not catch cold, and that
the disease called a cold is generally
caused by impure air, lack of exer-
else or overeating."
Most people who are "overworked"
are more properly speaking, simply
the victims of bad air, bad diet,
poisons, or worry. They believe
that because they are tired, it is
overwork that is hurting them.
Physicians of wide experience have
men and women coming to them ev-
cry day broken down in health, tell
ing them that they have overworked;
and yet on questioning them it is
found that none of them work as
hard as the physician whose aid they
seek. Their breakdown is due to the
terrible load of unphysiological habits
which they are carrying load so
great that scarcely any work can be
carried in addition.
There may be unhygienic conditions
equally responsible for these symp-
toms and the correction of which may
produce wonderful improvement
Vertigo may be due to eye strain.
Diabetes may be aggravated by too
much sugar. Rheumatism may be
caused by infected teeth, and tuber-
culosis by indoor living, bad diet, lack
of exercise or wrong posture; but the
social evil must be fought not only
by direct attack on prostitution, but
by appeals to self control and moral
ideals, and by depressing such habits
as produce abnormal desires and re-
dace the will power. s4sys

GOOD ROAD PARAGRAPHS

T. S. Scanlon former member of the
State Road Commission recently de-
clared that it would be a calamity if
the proposed amendment to the state
constitution, providing for a system
of state highways linking all county
seats, failed to receive the approval
of the West Virginia voters at the
poll next November.
France built her system of national
highways when war was never dream
ed of When it did come she had a
system of roads that spelled defeat
for Germany. Now these same roads
are serving a new purpose-they are
being utilized to reconstruct France.
Good Roads always serve vital
purpose.
Let your votes remember the mud
roads of the past. Ratification of the
proposed amendment to the state con-
stitution, which provides for hard
roads connecting all county seats, will
place West Virginia on an economic
plane she so richly deserves.
James l. Blakeslee, fourth assist
ant Postmaster General, says there is
no state in the Union where the i'm
provement of the highways would be
more direct material value to the
people than in West Virginia.
Figures are available that show
the highest percentage. Of .illiteracy
is confined to communities where
there is the least mileage Of hard
roads.
A vote for the good roads amend
ment I'm November will mean an in
crease of state wealth, better stan
dards of living in country and city,
and agricultural and industrial pros
perity which will be shared by all.
Those. who favor state road sys-
tenn connecting all county seats must
spread the gospel of good roads. A
word dropped here and there will do
more good than one suspects.
Ten miles of hard road through a
previously isolated section increases
values of land adjacent to it as we'll
as land one mile each direction from
it more than 800 per cent. Land
booms when good road is proposed
/ One mile of hard road is worth
more than ten miles of graded road
1t may not be as long but it serves
it's purpose fifty times as long. One
year is the average life of graded
road.

day is the fact that newspapers and
newspaper men tend to shy around
the churches. There could not be a
more conclusive proof that many
churches are just about dead
Now, newspapers have an instinct
i've and constitutional antipathy to
anything dead. But they will break
their necks to tie on to something
alive and moving. When the church
becomes news" she will get all the
publicity she needs, and she will be
nightly blessed in the getting.

PLANT ENSILAGE .
! CORN EARLIER

Planting of ensilage corn last, in
stead of first, is an expensive mistake
very generally made in the northern
portions of the United States, ac-
cording to specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
who recommend that strong germin-
atin~ seed of ensilage varieties from
regi farther south be planted two
or tsree week earlier than the home
grow seed which is planted for grain
prodr ton. Such planting program
works to the decided benefit of dairy
men and other growers of ensilage
corn in the Northern States.
