naive but delightful explanation
for. his waning faith in the
league.

remarked, sin its infancy seemed

pianist l gladly proffered to play
a few airs. But on closer inves-
tigation of the instrument l
made a sad discovery; it was not
made like other pianos. l was.
not able to either ascend or de-
scend the scales. On the piano
of the League of Nations the
greatest virtuoso could not per-

DIR. LADD DOES NOT
FAVOR ALL POLICIES
OF LEAGUE LEADERS

DR.. Ladd in a public statement
declares he is an independent re-
publican, and that while he favors
some of the announced planks Of
the Nonpartisan Leagues, adds,
THAT does not follow that + shall
accept all Nonpartisan policies, un-
less I am convinced of their sound
ness".
The League candidate for U. S.
Senator also declares himself in
favor of cooperative buying and
selling, law to protect free
speech, free press and free assem-
bly,, waterway between the head
Of the Lakes and the Atlantic, and
a law to stop speculation and pro.
fiteering in necessities of life. 1t
is to be noted that DR.. Ladd is al
ready preparing himself to break
away from the radical socialistic
policies OF the Nonpartisan League
under its present leadership, utter
ing his warning in the statement
quoted above.
Another interesting thing in con-
nection with the statement is that
all of the policies mentioned above
are the things favored by the
ticket headed by J. F. T. O'Connor,
the independent, anti-Townley can
didate for governor of North Da-
kota.

SURPRISE ON A. E.

Pounds to a Man, J. c.
Holds Aggies down to Sew
en- to Seven Score Saturday

outweighed more than thirty
pounds to a man and going against
the intercollegiate champions of
1919, the light jamestown College
football team sprung the surprise
of the 1920 football season by hold
ing the heavy A. c. team down to
Z to tie in their game at Fargo
Saturday. According to figures Of
Coach Upshaw, the jamestown line
averaged 146 pounds, the J. c. 130
pounds center, Hafey and Bryant,
guard, playing in their first football
game. The A. c. team, according to
newspaper reports, is at least rs per
cent better than they were last year
when they defeated the North Da-
kota university eleven in the cham
pionship game. The university was
defeated 46 to 8 In their game with
the University of Minnesota Satur-
day, SO that the claims of the local
rooters that j. C. has a good chance
to win the state championship this
year seem justified. Coach Upshaw
was more than pleased with the
showing of his men, but said that he
would discourage championship talk
on the result of the first game of the
season. If we can keep our fellows
fighting we ought to take the rest of
our schedule." he added however.

The investigating committee ap-
pointed by President Wilson in
1917 recommended that the price
be increased to $3.50 a bushel, but
the President formally fixed the
price ut $2.26 a bushel.
This price finally was raised by
agreement between both Houses to
j$2.4O q bushel and the President
vetoed the Agricultural bill on July

Of wheat to that new level. In Sep
