That this is not an Isolated case is
proven 10y recent similar statements
from one or Two very prominent men
right here in Kansas City.
Neproea are armeu against whites
and white against negroes because
they are afraid of each other.

1t is fear that is the enemy of the
world.
Poverty is much worse in the anti
cipation than in the reality.
Most Of US have been through it,
first and last, or are in it now, be-
cause ii is Il comparative thing is
poverty.
There is a certain pleasure in using
ingenuity to make both ends meet.
And there are few men who could not
make themselves useful and happy,
and possibly healthier If they had to

Sickness is not the worst thing in the

FEAR IS THE GREAT

Fear is the great enemy Of man
kind.
II is not death which is the Great
Destroyer 1t is fear which hovcrs
over humanity, spreads its skeleton
hands and grins from ts toothloss
skull.
Fear makes our hearts beat over
time, dries up the moistures of The
body, makes the mouth sticky and the
tongue click.
Fear tiEhtens the muscles into
spasns, stretches the nerves and
keeps us awake Of nights.
Fear has its place in selfpreserva-
ton.
II we had no fear many Of us would
be destroyed much sooner than We
are.
But it was never intended in the
scheme Of things that humanity should
be SO dominated by fear as it is.
Fear drives whole nations insane
and makes them do the craziest things.
Germany at this present moment,
cra2cd with fear Of the iron ring of
the allies, is swapping at that ring in
every direction in an attempt to save
her economic lifr, which she believes
to be in danger
France is fearful thst the snake
north Of her has been scotched, but
not killed.
Great Britain is shvering with fear
lest the central powers come back
again and employ the great forces of
Russia I'm their behalf.
Even the United States, great and
powerful Us che is, is AFRAID to touch
the affairs Of Other nations with a
helping hand. lest She be caught IN

Fair with many interesting features,
such as the promoting of the growing
of better seeds and helping the farm
er to secure better market for his
products. Quoting the premium book
on page 35 we note, "By special action
of the Board of Directors of the Fair
Commission all prize winners will be
permitted to display their names upon
exhibits and to designate in the Agri-
cultural Division, the amount of seed
the exhibitor may have to sell. AS the
primary object Of a County Fair is
to develop and aid in improving all
classes and kinds of products, with a
desire to facilitate the farmer in Sc
curing the best seed obtainable, this
method has been adopted. 1t will be
for the purpose of bringing together
the farmers who have high grade seed
to sell and the farmer who desires to
improve his products"

hibit at the State Fair this year in
charge of L. E. Jones and Fred Weight.
Thirty premiums were won on grains
and vegetables. Mrs. Alice Bertsch
won second premium in the Fine Arts
Division on a watercolor landscape.
Mrs. L. A. Hanson, of Baylor, was

miums in the Domestic Art. Fair vis-
itors commented very favorably on
the artistically arranged booth of the
Valley County exhibit, and the array
of various kinds of the County's pro-
ducts. Considerable publicity was re-

Great Falls, Sept. 23-Democrats
here who are opposed to the Nonparti-
san league and the candidates nominat-
ed by it on the Democratic ticket at
the recent primary have bolted the
party organization and will organize
Dixon-for-governor club. Plans for this
action were taken at a meeting held
Wednesday evening, when the amalga-
nation of the central state committee
of the Democratic party with the lea
que candidates was denounced and re-
pudiated. Lee M. Ford, who had been
chosen county treasurer, resigned.
Shirley S. Ford was made chairman
of the new organization. Wednesdays
meeting was presided over by o. S.
Wadsworth, an attorney. Harry M.
Mitchell, former newspaperman and
twice democratic candidate for con-
gress, was the only one present who
supported B. X. Wheeler and his fell
low nominees on the Democratic
ticket
Lee M. Ford, in resigning> sent the
following letter to Chairman George A.
Judson of the COMMITTEES:
Returning to Great Falls last Fri
day evening after a short absence, l
was informed that the county Demo-
cratic central committee had chosen me
to act as treasurer.
81 can not act in this capacity he
cause | am not in accord with the
| action of Senator T. j. Walsh, the
state Democratic central committee
and our county central committee, in
indorsng the Nonpartisan candidates
on the state ticket, thereby making
a complete and unconditional surren-
der of the Democratic party to the
Nonpartisan league.
at would mean that the leaders of
the party are willing to sacrifice it
and the best interests of the state of
Montana, in order to elect Cox, possi-
bly, having in view a cabinet position
or other post of honor should Cox be
elected. By their action, they have
disrupted the party and destroyed it's
effectiveness, and it is the duty of
every Democrat to vote against the
Nonpartisan candidates who have
helped bring this about.

TOWNLEY ON STUMP
WITH B. X. WHEELER

Roundup, Sept. 21.-A. C. Townley,
b. X. Wheeler, W. w. Palmer, R. A,
haste, l.. S. Irwin, Ole Sanvik,' and
nearly the entire Nonpartisan-Demo-
cratic state ticket visited Roundup on
Monday and held two meetings, one
OF which was held in the afternoon at
a local hall, to which only members of
the NonPartisan league were admit
ted, and the second held at the band
stand on Main street in the evening.
The attendance in the afternoon was
not large about 100 being present,
while in the evening about 300 persons
listened to Mr.. Townley, Mr.. Wheeler,
and Mr.. Palmer. Several listeners
"heckled" Townley during his talk,
but there was little show of enthu-
siasm or interest in the city in general
over the meeting. Townley's talk prin-
cipally centered on the socialistic doc
trines of public ownership of all utiI-
tiles, which he defended.
Non-members who attended the af-
ternoon meeting after listening to
short address of generalities concern
ing the campaign were invited to re-
tire, only members of the Nonparti-
san league being desired at the meet
ing which was of an executive nature.
Local nonpartisan candidates were
much in evidence at both meetings, but
not many farmers were in the city.

CITY DADS PURCHASE
MODERN LUNG MOTOR
Will Be Installed As Part of Equip
ment of Glasgow Fire Depart
ment. Wonderful Record

The Glasgow city dads placed an
order this week for a lung motor
which will be installed as part of the
equipment of the Glasgow fire de-
partment. The department has long
felt the need of lung motor for use
in cases of drowning and it is the con-
census of opinion that several lives
might have been saved here had lung
motor been available when the VIC
tins were taken out of the water.
The city of Great Falls has had a
lung motor for the past several years
and a number of lives have been saved
by it's use, in one case a young boy
being brought back to life after being
under the water nearly three hours.
The new lung motor will be placed in
the city hall and in cases of drowning
City Manager j. K. Mitchell should
be Immediately notified. x

he be Democrat or Republican, will
not assist us in our dilemma.

large numbers were planning on at
tending. The local Chamber of Com
merce is urging every resident of Glas-
gov who has an extra room, to list
same with the secretary in order that
the overflow from the hotels may be
taken care of. Mr.. Jones estimates
that it will require at least 500 out
side rooms to take care of the crowds.
The fair management has succeeded
in signing up number of splendid at
fractions on the entertainment pro-
gram, among them triple parachute
drop by Prof. J. Lestrage Of Seattle,
