NEWS TO PRINT SERIES OF
ARTICLES ON PRESlpENTS

The News is inaugurating new
feature, with this issue. which it Is
believed will be of general interest,
and particularly at this time when
the country is lining up for pres
idential campaign. SThe feature is
series of Five Minute Chats On
Our Presidents" and the opening
Chat" has President George Wash
ington as its subject and is printed
on page three. Tho series will in
clude all the presidents up TO the
present incumbent and will be of his
torical value as the writer. James
Morgan, has taken up the work with
painstaking care as TO accuracy.
There are probably a good many
people in the country who would be
stumped if asked to give off hand
the names of all the presidents Of
the United States, their terms OF Of
flee and incidents of consequence
during their administrations. For
instance. will some one please arise
and state who was the first army
man to receive the high honor as
the nations chief executive. aud also
who was the last president to wear
kneebreeches as the conventional
costume. The fiye-minute "Chats"
will go into lot of detail along
these lines as we'll as covering in
cidents of large importance, and any
reader who keeps a file of the com
plete series will have a pretty com
plete history of the nations presi-
dents.
The series of Condensed Classics"
which has been featured in the News
for some time is drawing to close
These have been enjoyed ard ap.
preciated py lovers of the best liter
ature, and 1t is believed the Chats
on the presidents will prove equally
interesting to the readers of the

SLEEPING CAR SERVICE
BETWEEN ELY AND FRISCO

When the night passenger and
mail service was inaugurated on the
Nevada NbrtheTn railway, July 4,
with daily through Pullman sleeping
car equipment between Ely and Salt
Lake City. General Managr George L.
Hickey stated that it was the further
intention Of the railway company to
bring about q through Pullman
Sleeping car service between Ely and
San Francisco. General Manager
Hickey has not lost any time in Sc
curing the through service to the
coast. as will be noted by the rail-
roads announcement in this issue of
the News, that beginning next We'd
nesday, August 4. a through Pullman
sleeping car will leave Ely for San
Francisco every Wednesday and Sat-
urday. and leave the latter city for
Ely every Monday and Thursday. The
schedule is so arranged that patrons
of the service will arrive in the Bay
city in the morning. ready for busi-
ness or pleasure as the case may be,
and arrive back to their home des-
tination in Ely under the same con-
ditions. 1t is equally good with the
service to Ogden and Salt Lake City
except that it is twice week instead
of daily.
While the night service has been

scarcely long enough time for Gen.
eral readjustment of conditions to
the new system. everything indicates
that the new schedule is satisfactory
to the public in general and is work.
ing out to the advantage of all con-
cerned. The increased expediency OF
the mail and express service between
Ely and outside points is heartily ap-
preciated by business men generally,
and is factor that has placed Ely
on the commercial map several hours
ahead OF any previous schedule.
1t has taken years of argument
and solicitation on the part of the
business men OF the district to bring
about the present schedule and the
fact that it Is prov ing all that was
hoped for is pleasing alike to the
railway company and the public.
The inauguration of the through
sleeper service to the coast is in line
with the railroad company's policy
of providing the best travelling ia
cilities obtainable.

bitter struggles. 1t was necessary to
have cooperation between wage
workers and farmers because except
in very few states and some sub
divisions of states there are not votes
enough among the farmers them
selves to turn the trick. Further
more, the farmers need the factory
workers as much as the factory
workers need them. The farmers
must have machinery, clothes, etc.
The men and women who are TODAY
doing the factory work are many of
them men and women. and, unfortu-
nately also. children driven off the
farms by unjust conditions.
While North Dakota is a grain-rais-
ing state, still there is no difference
in the conditions there and in other
states Private spectators set the
prices\on butter. eggs, meat, wool,
cotton. corn and other staples and
the same hostile interests set the
price on everything the farmer uses
no matter what state he lives in. So
the things the farmer, has to fight are
the same all over the country and the
farmers must get together and stick
together to fight them.
Having made up their minds to ap-
ply these principles vigorously the
farmers of North Dakota under the
leadership of A. C. Townley and his
co-workers. went into the campaign
of 1916 and carried the state. Only
one state officer, the treasurer. was
lost, 81 of the 113 members OF the
lower house were elected. .1S of the
25 senator's were elected. all Of the
three Judges Of the supreme court.

Iov.Isy find. Remedy

Townley Finds Remedy
After the adjournment of the 1915
legislature c. Townley conceived
the idea that the mistake that had
been made by the various co-opera-
tive farmers organizations was that
they were not large enough. and did
not go quite far enough as economic
and cooperative organizations, and
that the one organization that could
aid and assist them all in getting to-
gether was the state itself. Also that
in order to use the state in this way,
it must be done by the farmers them
selves and not by any good men can
didates put up by special privilege
even when they were not bankers and
lawyers themselves.
And so in March, 1915. Townley
started out to do this thing He in
terested various farmers whom he in
duced to begin the organization with
him of the Nonpartisan League BE-
hind the League are the following
ideas:
First, only farmers must be admit
ted to it.
Second. there must be cooperation
with labor organizations to win suffi-
clent support to control the state or
national government.
Third, that there must be efficient
management.
Fourth, that to be successful, the
farmers themselves must pay the
cost of campaigns and organization.
n Fifth, that they must have a means
of communication among themselves
and controlled by themselves, their
own papers. = rss az
These lessons were learned after
