Gated in Barnes County, held it's Au-
tum meeting at Valley City Nov. to
5. The circuits pastors's delegates
from the ~ congregations within the

thur, N. d.; and Mrs. Frieda Bue
Homes, president of the Woman's
North Dakota Missionary Federation
of Crosby, N. D.

Commandment" was introduced by
Rev. D. Svennungsen Of Darcy. In
discussing this theme a great deal Of
emphasis was placed upon the Chris
tian home, the duties of parents to-
ward their children and the duties Of
children towards parents and super
jors. The baptized children Of our
congregations must receive a careful
training in the principle of christian
ity if they are to remain in the grace
Of their baptisnlal covenant.
The convention sermon was preach
ed by Rev. L. Lasseson Of kitchville.
The mission sermon was delivered by
Rev. Hendrickson. The sum Of $9O.75
was contributed to missions. Mrs.
Homnes spoke about the work accomp-
lished by the w. n. F.. Of the church.
She also told about the work planned
by the organization for the coming
year.
Rev. ]. C. Wisnaes Of Jamestown

TALKS TO Y. GIRLS
ON FRIENDSHIP

"Friendship'' was the subject dis
cussed by Mr.. Wemett at the meeting
Of the Y. w. C. A. Thursday evening.
He told us that the enduring thing
of school life was the friendships
formed. The sciences, mathematics,
and arts are soon forgotten. The only
influences left is that Of the human
relations Of teacher and pupil and Of
of friend for friend We little realize
the wealth within our reach that we
fail to acquire when we go through
school without making friends. Fail
'ure to make friends is due to our own
characteristics. Smile! if you would
win friend. Neither you nor an
other loves a sour, blue person. Leave
your worries and cares behind when
you are with others. Show yourself
friendly and you will make friends:

WHITING THEM DOWN


best proof Of the growth Of the anti
Townley sentiment in North Dakota
lies not in the vote on the governor
ship, but in the vote on such issues as
the initiated laws, and in the vote for
offices on the nonpolitical ballot.
If you accept the vote on the initial
ed laws as a test, a clear majority OF
the voters of North Dakota are op-
posed to Townleyism. The margin is
from 5000 to $4,000.
If you accept the vote on the legls-
lative Offices as test, big majority
of the voters are opposed, for the
league elected 50 house members to SO
and but 10 senators to 16 by the indie
pendentS.
If you accept the vote on Miss Mel
son and Judge Christensen as the test
the majority against Townleyism runs
from 5000 to $4,000.
But for the purpose of comparison,
the vote on the governorship offers an
interesting study in the whiting
down of the league strength in North
Dakota %
In June, William LANCER carried 20
of the So counties in North Dakota,
Last Tuesday, Mr.. O'Connor carried
"a of the So counties. He carried ev-
cry county that was carried by Mr..
LANCER except Mcintosh, and he add
ed to Mr.. Langer's list, Dickey, Mel
son, Steele. Towner and Ward coun-
ties. Five additional counties were
swung again into the anti-league col
umn, while but one of the independent
counties was lost to the league,
The only fair comparison of votes, is
on the basis of percentage. because of
the greatly increased total vote due to
the women's ballots. ~ 1
In June Mr. LANCER received So,
94l votes to Governor Frazier's $685.,
plurality for Frazier of 5,404.
Yhe exact totals for last Tuesday
are not yet available, but with a total
almost double that in June, the Fraz-
Ter majority has been cut to approx
mately 1000.
In June, the LANCER Frazier vote
was divided on the basis of 52.4 and
476.
Last Tuesday, Governor Frazier re-
ceived but 500 percent of the vote
cast. and Mr.. O'Connor 49.1 per cent
F.; When it is remembered that Cover
nor Frazier ran on the republican
ticket, and that Senator Harding car
ried North Dakota by !, a plurality
which probably will be in excess OF
100000, the statement that Governor
Frazier was Saved by a landslide
becomes self evident fact
One more gain like that made be.
tween June and November, would give
the. independent voters complete con
troll in North Dakota. If they coulc
add four more counties, they woulc
have % to 25 If they could add an.
other Is per cent of the votes they
would have 506 per cent.
The Independents already are able
to outvote Townleyism on issues. Ir
the next election they will do it OF
the offices as well.-Forum.

GROWERS OF SWEET
CLOVER ORGANIZE

Agricultural College, N. D., New. S.
Sweet clover on every farm in
North Dakota" is the motto Of the
Red River Valley Sweet Clover Seed
Growers Exchange, organized at re-
cent meeting held at Grand Forks.
Although the organization is less
than month old, it already controls
more than half of the sweet clever
seed crop in North Dakota and the
growers that have signed up have
agreed to market their crop through
this cooperative exchange exclusively
for the next three years.
One Of the big projects of the ex-
change will be to conduct an eauca-
tional campaign on the value of sweet
clover and to develop new markets for
the seed. Plans are already being
made for a campaign this winter to
interest the farmers Of western North
Dakota in the crop, which is new in
that territory The belief is that the
sweet clover will prove of great value
in the lighter soils where drought and
soil drifting are two of the great Prob
lens, where the natural soil fertility
is in need of replenishment, and where
feed is difficult to secure.
Some idea Of the extent Of this
cooperative movement can be gained
from the report Of the secretary, D. B.
Morris Of Grand Forks. whose records
show that IS percent of the sweet
clover growers Of Grand Forks county
have Joined the organization. Grand
Forks county produces more than half
Of the seed crop of North Dakota, and
this state produces about half Of the
seed crop in the United States.
Every effort will be made to increase
the acreage in North Dakota and it
is planned to keep as much Of the seed
as possible in this state.

the league elected nobody named on
those tickets. Where there were three
tickets in the field as in South Dakota,
the league candidates ran third. get
ting fewer votes than even the demo-
cratic candidates. The republican
candidates got more than the league
and democratic candidates combined.
In Idaho, the league candidate for
governor ran third, the republican
candidate having more than three
votes to the leaguers one and two to
the democrats one.
The league leaders had great ex-
pectations of capturing Colorado, but
they were showed under, the extent
of the victory being indicated by the
fact that the league elected but -four
candidates for the legislature out OF
AZ. !,
What happened in Minnesota is well
known.
In Washington and Nebraska, the
league candidates were far in the rear
and were not even factor in the race
Montana gave Townleyism an equal
" decisive defeat.
Only in Wisconsin and North Da
kota did the Towneyites find any
crumbs of comfort. The Wisconsin
victory was victory for LaFollett<
rather than Townley but even the com
bination failed to defeat Senator Len
root. LaFollette's candidates for stat'
Offices probably would have won with
out the Townley support, but certainl!
Townley could not have won wlthou
the LaFollette support. 1t was simpl!
a case of the league indorsing certain
candidates who were virtually assured
of victory anyway.
The germ of Townleyism has beef
isolated in North Dakota. It is up t.
North Dakota to cure herself, and tn
patient evidences a very vigorous re
action to the treatment that is bein.
admnistered.--Forum.
