BREAK THEM OF BAD
 GRAMMAR WHEN YOUNG

The University of Arizona suggests the correction of few of the usual bad speech habits of children, believ- ing it will be a good start for better language. For this month:
 Our schools are trying to break up two bad speech habits, the use of SEEN and SAW and DONE and DID. Will you not cooperate with us in the home? Will you not remind your boy or girl as often as may be necessary that SEEN or DONE cannot be used

How Stevens County Voted

Stevens county had a full delega-
ton at the Republican state conven-
tion last Saturday, and all the dele
gates came home imbued with en-
thusiasm for the work of the conven-
tion and the ticket nominated.
After the convention had been or
ganized there were two roll calls
taken which were not reported in the
city dailies. The question was wheth-
er the platform should be adopted
before the candidates were nominal
ed and the Stevens county delegates
voted unanimously for first adopting
the platform. Later the question
came up again in slightly different
form, and the Stevens county delega-
tion again voted solid1y to first adopt
the platform.
After the resolutions committee
reported, the platform was adopted
unanimously except the tonnage tax

LEGISLATIVE FILINGS
ARE NOW COMPLETE.
Another Twenty Days for Candidates
for County Office to File for
Primary

Wednesday was the last day on
which candidates for state Office
could file for the primary election
which will be held on June 21, and
according to the ruling of the at
torney-generaI it was the last day
for candidates for member of the
legislature to file, even tho the leg
islative district comprises only one
county. Candidates for county office
have another twenty days in which to
file.
The filings made with County Aud
itor Wollthan for representatives
from this county include L. G. Dor
weller, J. G. Macarthur and L. J.
Schlattman. Mr.. Dorweiler is the
present capable representative. Mr..
Macarthur is a resident Of Hancock
and was a candidate for the legisla-
ture number of years ago, when he
received an inconsequential vote. Mr..
Schlattman was the Non-Partisan
League candidate for the House two
years ago and probably has that en-
dOrsement again this year. He was
defeated by Mr. Dorweiler by an over
whelming vote. Out of this field of
three, the two highest will be selected
at the primary to make the final con-
test at the election.
Few county officers are to be elect
ed this year, and it is not known
what contests there will be until the
filings are complete, but the contests
are likely to be few, if any. E. c..
Gilbert has already filed for re-
election as clerk of court and A. L.
Stenger for Judge of Probate. AS
commissioner from the first district,
o. N. Dohlen has filed for reelection.
S. Burt the present commissioner,
and R. W. Keeler have filed in the
third district. The term of N. Neck
lenburg of the fourth district, ex-
pires this year, but he has not as yet
filed.
All other county officers hold over.

Farm Work Not Far Backward

The May report of the Bureau of
Crop Estimates, issued Monday thru
the Minnesota Field Agent, indicates
that while the season is backward
and late in Minnesota, the difference
between the amount of farm work
finished on May 1 is but very little
less than for the same period one
year ago. Last year the amount Of
plowing for spring planting and SOW
ing was 73 per cent while for this
year it is SO per cent. The amount
of spring sowing and planting COM
pleted May /, 1919, was Ga per cent
while on May 1, 1920, it was So per
cent. The opinion probably has been
that because the season as regards
growing conditions is about two
weeks late, all farm work must be
delayed. This is not altogether true.
The growth of the grains seeded is
backward but not dangerously SO
should average weather conditions
prevail throughout this crop season.
The soil is in excellent condition and
favorable growing weather would In
a large measure dispell the pessimis-
tic feeling now held.

A Really "Kept Press"

At last the so-called kept press
has become a reality. But strange
to say, it is the leaders of the Non
partisan League in North Dakota,
the Socialist advocates of freedom of
speech, who have accomplished this
remarkable feat. Proofs of this fact
were not lacking in a speech deliv-
cred Tuesday night at the local the
atres by H. M. Cass, four minute
speaker for the Minnesota Sound
Government Association.
Backing up his statements and
amplifying the true conditions in
North Dakota where the press is
largely controlled by A. C. Townley,
the one reel motion picture entitled
"Gagged' was shown as an added
feature to the regular program.
Mr.. Cass, in his talk pointed out
that in 1919 there were thirty seven
newspapers in North Dakota that
failed or were forced out of business
by adverse legislation by the Non
partisan League legislature.
