1t is easy enough to buy low shoes,
but you have to pay very hlgh pflce
to get them
Yep, there's no getting around it,

maries-and Michigan.
Have YOU ever stopped to think
what nice thing it would be if a dol
lar would only go as far in this coun-
trv as it does in some OF the old coun-
Ties.
The Courier News on Monday,
with it's usual keen foresight, comes
out in a statement that Miss Nelson is
the choice Of the bosses for governor.
There are two reasons why we think
that the Fargo paper does not know
what it is talking about at this time.
In the first place until some more
states ratify the constitutional! amend.
mcnt giving the women the right OF
suffrage, women are not eligible TO
the office of governor of the state at
this time. therefore the so-called boss
es would not be very apt to pick her
out for the job. Secondly. we 40 not
believe Miss Nelson wants the JOB
of being governor.
Several large newspapers through
out the country are forced to cut out
all display advertising and accept only
classified advertising and amusement
ads. due to the serious news print pa
per shortage. The Chicago Tribune
the other day urged its customers not
to buy paper but rather to borrow
one. which is certainly a good lllustra-
ton of how serious a problem the
shortage really is and the results
which will come from it unless some
effective measures are taken at once.
Newspapers are one of the most es-
sential things in a community or
country and one can hardly realize the
hardships the nation would be put un-
der in case it's newspapers were forced
to suspend publication.
J. r. Waters, vino mas been manager
of the Bank Of North Dakota since 1t
was first put in operation, has handed
in his resignation to the governor
which took effect April fourth. Mr..
Waters wants to look after private
business is the reason given for re-
signing this important position. He
has been spending the winter in Flor
ida and sends his letter from Miami to
the governor. Mr.. Frazier will now
have an opportunity with the consent
of Mr.. Townley and Mr.. Lenlke, to
name another manager for this big
state bank. We have toWnsman IN
Valley City-Mr. VIM. Olson-who
might be induced to accept this posi-
ton. He has had more banking eX-
perience than had Mr.. Waters before
he went into the n1anagership of this
bank. This is just tip to the gov
ernor.
Strikes. strikes and nothing but
strikes. The newest one is the walk
out of railroad employees in Chicago
and all it started over was the dis
charge of a yard conductor. but the
men evidently wanted an excuse and
took the first f1imsy one that came
along Over ten thousand men in Chi
cago and other cities have been affect
ed by the walkout, either directly or
indirectly, and thousands of men in the
big packing plants are thrown out of
work due to the tie up of traffic which
makes it impossible to ship in the live
stock. An embargo on all freight
entering or leaving Buffalo was an
nounced late last night, after a con-
ference Of the officials of the roads
whose yards are tied up by the strik-
ing switchmen. The men walked out
unauthorized and are liable to lose
their union rights unless they resume
work at once. Officials declare that it
is impossible to grant the wage in
creases demanded by the men because
the Cummins-Esch act prohibits in
creased compensation to employees
without approval of railroad board,
to be appointed by the president.
1t is amusing to hear the different
expressions now being used about one
Bill LANCER. One fellow says he is
sure Of defeat if he is nominated be-
cause the pool hall men are against
him. Another says he is sure of de-
feat because he was once a Lacquer
and is traitor to the cause. Anoth-
er says his religion is all wrong, while
another insists that he brushes his
hair the wrong way. The fact of the
matter is that every one of these fel
lows looking at Bill LANCER through
those kind of glasses are absolutely.
scared to death for fear that he will be
elected and their fears are really faith
er to the thought Of what they would
ike to happen. William LANCER is the
man who has done things and is do
ing things all the time and unless
there is mighty change Of sentiment
in the near future an avalanche could
not stop his nomination at the coming
convention. And if he is nominated
he is going to be elected. +,
The Townley press is having great
time telling how the opposition to
socialism is getting all split up and
going to pieces on account of too. many
candidates, and LANCER is the man
that is getting the hook from the
league press. Well, if that is the way
they feel about it it is all right with
us. They will have a very rude awak-
