DAILY ECONOMY CALENDAR.
DO YOU Enjoy IT

Every housewife who takes pride or
interest III her work must sometimes have
m argument with tradesnen or others
with whom she comes 10 daily cohtaet
/. u her tasks of keeping house. she must
sometimes object to carclcssness OF the
iceman, trickory or dishonesty OF q ped
der. forgetfulness of the Rrocers boy
If she did not and if no housewives ever
did then the standard OF efficiency from
these people who supply rs with the raw
materials of housekeeping would become
gradually less I'D less efficient.
But il is oIe thing occasionally to let q
tradesman k sow that you are displeased,
to call him down even and quite another
thing TO enjoy doing 1t. Yet sometimes
we really do enjoy having n squabble :
pecially if we are palpably IN the right and
the telling of the incidents relating to the
squabble all show us to have been IN the
right There a~e wives. especially young
wives, who like TO store th9ir minds ful |

universal fondness for sympathy But
after n time even husband 9 sympathy
becomes less keen Or Mt least when dii-

And of course il you get TO the point
where YOU rather enjoy telling about your
troubles with the tradespeoplc you will
not avoid having difficulty. You may
go out of your way To become involved IN

housewives is doubtless that they have
too few outside u teIcsts. There ls too

BRINT0N TELLS
OF SISAL TRUST
AND MR.. T0WLEY
Relates Alleged Connection Of
League Chief Before
Referee Here

The alleged connection OF A. u:
Townley president Of the National
Nenpartisan League with the United
States Sisal Trust was related Dy
J. w. Brinton, formerly associated
with Townley in the Nonpartisan lea
que, before III. #. O'Hare, referee in
bankruptcy here late Saturday after
noon. The next move will be. re-
quest to Judge Amidon to cancel
Townley's discharge, McCutcheon
said
,Brinton in effect swOre that Town
ley told him that he knew the Nonpar-
tisan league could not last forever
and that he wanted the Florida en-
terprise as a next egg when the lea
que should blow up.
The testimony was taken on re-
quest of E. B. McCutcheon, of Minot,
trustee for creditors, who says cred
itors have claims of about $4,000
against ToWnley.
When First Heard OF
Brinton told the stofy that he first
heard of the Sisal enterprise in 1917
when Edwin Lundin a Florida land
owner attempted to interest Townley
in the acquisition of sisal growing
property. Their meeting, Brinton as
serted, took place in the Gardner no.
tel in Fargo. Brinton said he made
an investigation trip, Townley paying
his expenses, and upon the basis OF
his report Townley invested In the
Florida lands. Brinton swore Townley
told him he used funds Of the Non.
partisan Publishing company and that
soon after he made his report Town
lev invested $4,000 to $4,000.
In the beginning Brinton said l60
acres of Florida land was obtained
and sisal nursery was started. Brin.
ton declared Townley owned this land
at the time of his bankruptcy but dld
not reveal it. Later Brinton said two
companies, common law trust and a
holding company were organized and
!. J. Hastings was put in charge OF
the enterprise. He said that Town
ley's plan was that through the hold
ing company Tiownley would control
one.third of the stock either personal
ly or through his representatives.
Company Enlarged
The company was enlarged anu
over $4,000 acres of Dade county Flor
ida land purchased Brinton assert
ed. He said about $4,000 was in
vested and it was intended to grow

the most gruesome details of the
crime are being related from the wit
