Registration of
Women Voters
WOMEN! T THIS!

10 Women Voters:
If you live in a town or village of LESS THAI 800 popu-
lation-YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REGISTER in order to vote.
If you voted for school officers at the last Primary Elec-
ton Oune %, 1920 and still reside in the same precinct as
you did then-YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REGISTER!
If you live on the farm-YOU DO NOT lave TO REG
lSTER!
BUT-Be On Your Guard! Some election officials will try
to bluff you out of your vote, by telling you you are mob
Registered" and can not vote. Don't let them tell you sucn
nonsense. Demand the ballot-and you'll get it. "They can't
stop YOU" ... " -
In Cities and Towns OVER 300 inhabitants-YOU MUST
REGISTER. SO MUST ALL VOTERS. If you live in a town
of over 800 and voted for school officers at the June primary
election, you ARE REGISTERED by that vote. BUT TAKE
list. Register your own name-Mrs. Helen Jones, NOT Mrs.
Peter Jones. Sometimes clerks forget to write q name in copy
the name. SEE THAT YOUR NAME IS THERE and THAT

FARMERS ARE UNANIMOUS
IN DENOUNCNC GRAFTERS
WHO CUT: WHEAT PRICES

Many Business Men Also Admit Ireparable Damage
Done by Unholy Crowd Who Is Being Backed by
I. V. A. Press, and Whose Candidate for Governor,
Slippery lefty, Is Against Dockage and Grain
Grading Laws.
The L V. A. members are panic stricken and see defeat
staring them in the face because Of the raid the grain gam
blers have made on wheat prices.
But more crushing than the fact that wheat prices
have been pounded down far below the cost Of production
IS THE HORRIBLE BLUNDER THE FARGO FORUM
AND OTHER l. V. A. PAPERS HAVE MADE IN DE-
PENDING THE GAMBLERS and stating in plain English
that the farmers have been bowling about high prices
and have NO kick coming that wheat prices have tumbled."
Even sensible business men condemn the l. V. A. papers
for defending the grain thieves who have pounded down wheat
prices, as it makes it impossible for farmers to pay their debts,
and as a consequence many farmers are refusing to sell their
grain
The fact that lefty OConnor, the grain gamblers candi-
date for governor, is also fighting the dockage and grain grad
ing laws in court, together with his law partner is also very
That is the reason for more panicky forebodings in the
L V. A. camp, and resulted in the sending out of secret orders
to all / '. 4: workers, "D0NT FIGHT FRAZIER AMP THE
THE LEAGUE PROGRAM, BUT At ALL HAZARDS
FIGHT HARD TO GET THE INITIATED BILLS ACROSS
10 KILL H STATE BANK AND INDUSTRIAL PRO
CRAM THE LEAGUE PROGRAM WILL BE CRIPPLED
WITHOUT TIE STATE BANK"
This panic in the I. V. A. camp will only make the League
workers in every precinct in the state more determined to
make a thorough canvass of every voter, get the sample ballots
canvass the day before election. It will make them more
determined to work like beavers election day to see that every
League vote is out, men and women, and thus insure the cleo
ton of all the independest candidates on the League ticket
N THE CERTAIN DEFEAT OF THE INITIATED BILLS
WHICH WERE INTENDED SOLELY TO WRECK THE

Work, League men and women-work as you never
best drubbing they ever received. If you don't YOU will
get licked.

Story of Sacrifice

Alamo, N. D., Oct. 12.-Our club, No. 11O,. is new
and we have had only a very few meetings, but we
decided to send all we have in the treasury, which is
$40 for the campaign fund.
We would like to have made a drive for funds,
but we have had five years of crop failures. This
year we barely got the seed back. Many of us may
have to leave what we have, as it is impossible to
make our living through the winter. But whatever
happens, we will stay long enough to vote the League
ticket straight. Yours truly, MRS. A. A. HAGEN,
Secretary.

Shimmy Dance
Invades Zion
Zion City Has Exciting Time at the
Tabernacle When Woman Starts
Unusual Dance.

The shimmy dance is the latest in
Holy Roller stunts exhibited at Zion
City. On Saturday night young lady
CARRIED in a smart attire sat near the
rear seats in the Christian assembly,
or as Voliva puts it, "the monkey
house" She sat quietly for some time
and then suddenly was overpowered by
an attack of the shakes. She shook the
upper part of her body in series Of
wriggles, just as if she was trying to
rid herself of the coolies or some just
such pest. A kind of jazz song, a
parody on some we'll known hymn, fol-
lowed. The lady referred to sat with
all attention. 1t appealed to her emo
tive tendencies and she began to shake,
then to hold up her both hands, then
one hand, keeping them in the air as if
they were petrifed.
Then she suddenly let out yell and
sprang into the isle. The spirits had
taken possession of her and she began
kind of circular twirl, just as you've
seen the boys and girls do when the
play "ring-a-ring-a-rosey." She spun
dIOuuQ Will SISdL NGlOClLy3 just IKE
spinning top. The minutes went by.
Chief Becker, Assistant Chief Stried
and three or four special police were
seated in the rear seat and they watch
ed the strange performance, expecting
to see the woman topple over any min
ute. She kept reeling for some time,
then she gradually twirled backwards
towards the seat, and after few more
twirls with decreasing speed, she sat
down. She must have spun around for
at least five minutes and any ordinary
person would have become giddy and
fallen. The woman sank down in her
seat, breathing heavily and in a semi
exhausted condition.
This ended the shimmy dance and
the meeting partook of its normal ma
ture, except for series of "Amen,
"Hallelujah," "Praise the Lord" etc
There was no catalyptic cases on
Saturday night or no stretching out o.
the floor in trance. The police were
ready to put stop to any such con-
duct, but the meeting was dismissed
early.

fought four wars with European ma
tons to prevent the control of Amer
lean affairs by Europe, and won them
all. 1t is certain that if the League of
Nations had been in existence we
would never have gained our independ-

supreme folly and the supreme sacri-

independence and separate station in
the world which we have won.
Wisconsin will give Harding and
Coolidge great majority on Novem-

give Lenroot a great majority also.

it can be said that he is going to get more Re
publican votes than any Democrat who ran for
office. If you want to conserve Wisconsin as a

put the cross after the name of the Colonel.
