ty that first recognizes women and
takes them in on the ground floor
with the men will get their support.
S "Women don't want to be auxil-
iaries, they want to be the real thing
Continued Miss Patterson. "This is
shown by failure Of the old parties
to line them up. The politicians have
formed auxiliaries to both the nation
81 republican and democratic parties
in an effort to get the women to GO
cut and campaign for them. But the
women have absolutely refused to do
any campaign work until they are let
in on the ground floor. AS a result
the democratic party has been forced
to put two women on it's national
committee for the arrangements for
the national convention"
Miss Patterson suggested that the
Nonpartisan League begin immedi-
ately to organize the women on the
same basis that men are organized.

ADULTERATED PRODUCT
At $500 PER TON
PRINTED GUARANTEE NOT TO
TO BE MORE THAN MILL
RUN SCREENINGS
! Sheldon, N. OAK,
Mr.. j. A. McGovern,

Mr.. j. A. McGovern,
Mgr. Mill and Ele. Assn,
Replying to your letter of the 10th,
a of / per cent covers the loss on
wheat and The loss on screenings has
averaged 2 per cent. So you see we
are well within the limit of the state
law. Prior to this year | have been
cleaning the grain and returning the
screenings making a charge of two
cents per bushel. This year of course
it has been optional with our patrons
whether they take the screenings or
the money, however the majority of
them have taken the screenings.
l like the system adopted by the
state. find it not only workable but
practical and more to be preferred
than the old slipshod system that has
been in operation for so long.
There have been times when the
screenings were given to the terminal
mills freight PREPAID, would take care
Of their operating expense. I have
ground tons Of screenings into bran
and shorts and not so long ago saw
sack Of shorts carrying a label on
which was printed guaranteed not to
be more than mill run screenings.
Adulterated product, but SO labeled at
$500 per ton, makes mighty good
price for screenings.
y The screenings item and the spread
between No. one and No. four and
five wheat is responsible for so many
small mills going out Of business. The
small miller was selling pure bran and
shorts and grinding No. one wheat
and shipping the lower grades to the
terminal elevator because the major
ity of them was not aware that as
good flour could be produced from
No. four and five as from No. one
and nearly as much of it, per sixty
pounds wheat. .
You asked me if / was practical
miller. Fifteen years of my mill and
elevator experience has been making
flour and during that time I have
been able to get onto number Of
little kinks in milling.
You said that If it was possible you
would drop off and call one me some
time this winter. Now would be
mighty glad to haye you do that. am
heartily in sympathy with all these
progressive movements being put ints
operation in North Dakota.
Yours very truly,

MARKET CONDITIONS
STRAIGHT FROM THE SHOULDER

Since arriving back home from my
buying trip to Chicago and points
East, I have been asked several times,
"Well, how did you find conditions,
so I am going to try and tell you
some Of the conditions as saw them.
Ready-to-wear, seemed to me to be
the most economical priced Of any
thing, and altho prices seem high to
what we were used to paying a few
years ago they are very cheap con-
sidering the cost of materials and
prices for labor today, which fact is
mostly due to the manufacturers hav-
ing purchased their materials some
time ago and they are selling them on
the basis of old cost prices.
Silks have probably advanced the
most of anything in piece goods; here
you will find prices are very nearly
double what they were a year ago;
woolens have advanced about 25 per
cent and cotton goods rs per cent.
Raw cotton sold this last week on
the New York Market at 80 cents
per pound; in 1914 it sold less readily
at 6 cents per pound.
Shoes continue to advance in a
small way, prices for spring average
from 15 to 20 per cent over prices
last fall.
Mems suits and clothing show a
very heavy advance for spring, over
prices prevailing this last fall, quail
ties that we retailed for $500 viii
have to bring at least $45.00 for
spring.
Groceries seem to hold more steady
than other items, there are very few
changes except on syrups, molasses
and other sweetening, especially sug-
ar, and altho this last commodity is
real scarce the price il mighty high
due absolutely to speculation on the
part Of big operators and manufac-
turers and we do not expect to see
much sugar at retail for anything less
than 20 cents per pound for the next
two months. However there is no set
price, It is simply a matter Of Us pay
ing whatever price the seller may ask
wherever we may find the sugar, We
bought some sugar short time ago,
at I9 l-2 cents per pound +. @. ,.

i'll BIRD Will
FOUL own NEST

Marmon, Jan. 5.-Editor N. D.
Leader. A friend of mine living in
Minnesota sent me clipping from
the Rushford, MINI. Star, containing
a letter written by D. A. Ferguson
of Westhope, N. D., slandering the
state administration, the Nonpartisan
League, etc. Being born and raised
not far from Rushford, MINI. myself,
am enough believer in fair play not
to let such a ibelous letter sent to
another state go unchallenged. Mr..
Ferguson says the damage done by
the grasshoppers is nothing, compared
with the damage the Nonpartisan
League has done for our state. Our
taxes are from two to three times
higher than last year, with nothing
but bunch Of socialists to make our
laws. They say that "'tis a mighty
poor bird that fouls his own nest"
and we shall see. Mr.. Ferguson sent
this communication to a paper in an
old gang controlled state, where state
taxes have increased 232 per cent the
tctSoL yCdI3 Willie SG0CC G1AcS LII ANOL I'll
Dakota have only increased 176 per
cent and at the same time we are put
ting into operation great Industrial
program. Mr.. Ferguson ought to know
that the Nonpartisan League has
nothing to do whatever with county,
school or any taxes outside of the
state taxes and therefore could not
be held responsible for any increase
n other than state taxes, even if such
were the case. But sound sense and
reasoning will show that the increase
in taxes is universal and is even rea-
sonable in North Dakota, compared
with some other states. Therefore,
the increase in taxes can not success
fully be blamed to the Nonpartisan
League, but to the high cost Of living,
Mr.. Ferguson, however, seems to be
wholly ignorant Of these facts, which
perhaps may be due to the fact that
he only reads some of the stink pa
pers which are, and always have
been, fighting and nlisrepresenting
every progressive movement. G. III.
Peterson. p. S. The state also fur
nishes grasshopper poison when called
for, thru law passed by the farmers
administration last year.

THE cow BILL
Dear Editor.

AS<8A A1NAVVxs - +
SO many inquiries are coming to
this office from all parts of the state
relative to the "cow bill" which pro-
svides for counties extending their
credit to those who wish to secure
dairy cattle that, it seems advisable to
give the provisions of this law all
possible publicity in order that the
residents Of all counties may know
how to proceed in taking advantage of
the provisions Of the law in obtaining
dairy cattle.
I This law was not passed as an emer-
gency measure and therefore cannot
be put into full operations until July
1st. The nature of the law however
lis such chat a great deal of prelim-
mary work must be done prior to the
actual purchase and delivery Of dairy
cattle to those who may apply for
same. There is no reason why this
preliminary work cannot be taken care
sof before July 1st and thus make it
possible 70 do everyt thing but actually
isdisposing Of the county bonds Or war
rants and purchasing the cattle be-
fore that date.
Those who wish to secure dairy cat
tie under the provisions of this law
should see TO il that petitions are i'll
ed with the county auditor ct an ear
ly date. The County Board upon re.
ceipt Of a petition by fifty or more
residents Of the county may adopt
indicating whether their
body will, after July 1st authorize
the issue and sale Of bonds or war
rants and the approximate amount
which will be issued. This will serve
as notice to residents Of the county
as to whether or not it will be pos
ssible for them to- secure assistance
from their county. It seems advis-
able that action Of this kind be tax

...s-... Jan. 25, 1920.
Dear Mr.. Norwood
ss To you as secretary of the newly
formed Community Club Of Westhope.
/ joined the Community Club with
honesty of purpose, last Thursday, at
the suggestion of Mr.. Eastman. He
urged during his lecture the forma-
tion Of Community Club. Mr.. East
man made q broad statement that
there was no politics connected with
the Organization. But he injected poll
itic into his lecture when he said he
was opposed to government owner
ship and I thought he made a very
poor explanation why he was against
government ownership. Why did Mr..
Eastman let politics creep into what
was supposed to be ncn-political
lecture. In studying the matter over
today have made up my mind that
at this time when political difference
is fought so bitterly between large
per cent Of the city people and the
farmers Of the country, a Commun-
ity Club worth the name is an impos-
sibility when a political organization
is fully organized in this city to beat
the farmers politically out of the
things they are entitled to. After the
way a large per cent of the city voters
have used me in the last two elections
I have lost faith in some of them in a
matter Of this kind. have studied
this proposition over by my home fire
side today and / have come to one
conclusion that the success of the
Community Club at this time is near
ly impossible, if not wholly so. The
wires are now being laid by city peo-
pie Of this state on one side and the
farmers Of this state on the other side
for one Of the hardest political bat
ties that ever was fought out in this
state. Can any sane man tell me how
a non-political organization can pros
per while such a political battle is
being fought out. When have now
taken the time to study this matter
over fully / have come to the con-.
clusion that this movement does not
look good to me at this time. IL this
Community organization had been or.
ganized after the last election and the
minority had been willing to abide by
majority rule there would have been
a fair chance for country people and
city people getting together on q
proposition Of this kind.
joined this organization on the
spur Of the moment, without taking
time to fully consider what position
II was placing myself in as a repre-
sentative elected by the farmers Of
this county. feel after thinking the
matter over it is not right for me
Ito put myself ia a position SO my
name can be. used to influence my
friends iii d matter of this kind. The
opposition sto the farmers seem to
have III figured out il they can change
two votes ia every precinct u this
state they have gotten the farmers
beaten at the next election. Il seems
to me this is . scheme 70 get these
two votes, maybe I am wrong, but
