THE BIG MEN BACK EAST"

The "Bache Review" recently pub
lished a letter from a wholesale mer-
chant out in Montana of which the
following is the closing sentence:
awe believe that the d~eflation has
rome far enough in all lines and it is
up to the big men Of the eastern sea-
board to stop this shouting Of further
declines and take a period of six or
eight months to stabilize business be-
fore they permit further declines to
20 into effect. Montana has just beat
\, and beaten thoroughly, the non-
partisan movement, but if the farmers
of Montana had any idea that wheat
would drop to 90c a bushel, consider
ing the world shortage Of this cereal,
Montana never would have defeated
the non-partisan movement. 1t is high
time that a stabilized movement was
put into effect by the farseeing bank
ers of the east"

. Drake Mill Audit Made Excuse for
Lurid Headlines in Tolerant" Grain
Gambler Press. Supreme Court denies
Petition Of "Comic Trio"
AS a sample Of what a certain bunch
of alleged l. V. A. politicians and
"publicists" mean by Incorporation"
and "tolerence", nothing they have
pulled off lately shows them up more
clearly than the fake sensation they
sprung over the auditing Of the Drake
Mills books.
The new BOARD of Auditors" or the
"Comic Trio" as every one is now call
ing them, having been unable to find
anything wrong with the State Indus
tries and the Bank of North Dakota
other than. that these institution are
suffering like all like concerns, from
the financial blockade engineered by
Big Business, seem to have gotten des-
perate and decided, as B%illican's ia
nous cartoon foretold, the "Some-
things gotter be wrong!"
Hence the hullabaloo over the
books of the little mill at Drake.
Without asking the Industrial Com
mission or it's secretary, w. A. An
derson, for the mills books and rec
ords these three Wallets of the Big
Gamblers, LANCER, Hall and Kositzky,
rush into the Supreme Court and de-
mand an order to see records they
never asked for. The Court turned
them down cold, and the latest report
is that the "Comic Trio" neglected
the duties the people pay them to per-
form, are trying to hatch up someoth-
er opera bouffe stunt to distract the
attention of the people from the pro-
fiteers.
When one compares the record of
these three public servants with
that of Attorney General elect VIM.
Lemke, one does not wonder that the
Rail Cars are trying to recall MI.
Lemke. But the tide is fast turning
and the common people" will yet
come into their own.

'Tanlac Can Be Depended Upon"
He Says. Gains Sixteen
Pounds

Before I took Tanlac I decided that
something had to be done and that
quick, and Tanlac has met the situa-
ton in every respect" said Walter
Munsing an auditor of the Great
Northern Railway Company, with
headquarters at Minneapolis, MINI.
II had suffered for nearly two years
with my stomach and kidneys and was
just about down and out. Everything
I ate seemed to settle in a hard lump
in the pit of my stomach and gas
would bloat and pain me so badly I
could hardly stand it. I lost weight
and last winter was hardly able to do
a bit Of work.
"Sometimes when I stopped over
my back panied me right over my
kidneys until I could hardly s%traighten
up, and at night I often lay awake
for hours without getting a bit of
sleep. I seemed to get weaker and
felt more and more tired, but after
I took a lew doses of Tanlac I noticed
an improvement.
81 have now taken seven bottles and
my stomach trouble is gone, I don't
have the pains in my back any more
and I sleep we'll at night and have
gained sixteen pounds in weight. I
owe a lot to Tanlac, and I heartily
recommend it, for I know from my
own experience that it can be depend
ed upon for results"
Tanlac is sold in Bottineau by s.
Sigurdson, in Landa by J. H. johnson,
in Roth by o. L. Charnholm, in Car
bury by the Farmers Cooperative
Mercantile Co. and by leading drug
gists everywhere. u "

NO BONUS BOYS

Uncle Sam is $1,000, 900 900 in the
hole and going deeper every month,
or so recent Washington press dis
patches quote Secretary Of the Treas
ury Houston as telling Congress. The
gist of Houston's statement follows:
Houston Called
"Mr. Houston was called before the
committee to discuss the soldiers
bonus, which, according to estimates
would require an outlay of $1,50O,000,-
600. He indicated that the treasury
would oppose any action by congress
that would tend to open a new demand
on the treasury.
The secretary also reiterated his
objection to the revival of the war fl
nance corporation.
Market prices Of Liberty bonds and
other government securities were said
today by the secretary to be suffer-
ing us a result of continued discus
sion Of the soldiers bonus and various
legislative measures for relief of farm
ers, such as revival of the war finance
corporation.
Enactment into law, of either Of
these proposals, MI. Houston declared
would necessitate flotation by the gov
renment of a loan which would add
to the amount of government secur-
tiles now outstanding and cause con-
sequent reaction in the market for
government bonds"
So you veterans and farmers a see
what you are up-against. However,
if Uncle Sam had that $4,000, 000, 900
the "Dollar-A-Year Paytriots" are
charged with having swagged from
the Shipping Board and that other
5 $1,000, 600, 900 they got OF airplanes,
to say nothing of various other "pick-
ings" and "perquisities", Uncle Sam
would be a cool Billion and more ITO
the good" In that event, he could take
care of his boys and the farmers who
feed us all without having to worry
so blamed much about what will hap
pen to the poor Bondholders.
One thing is becoming clearer and
clearer every hour, boys, and that is
that the Veterans, Farmers and Work
ers will have to get together and do
something to save themselves and the
Republic from the handful Of 1mper-
ialists who are trying to hide behind
Old Glory while working out schemes
to reduce us, the People, to serfdom
and slavery. Get together! Do it now!

MINT WISHES RECOVERY OF
 BOGUS COINS

 WASHINGTON, July 22.-The col. lecting of bad money coins which have been imperfectly minted is the peculiar hobby of Douglas N. Starr, sergeant of the guard at the war de- partment. Stars collection is thought to be the only one of its kind in the world.
 The national museum has received one collection of 200 imperfect coins gathered together by Sergeant Star, and now he has completed a small private collection, containing twenty three imperfect coins, ranging from a silver half dollar, minted in 1907, to dimes and pennies of 1920.
 Ray Baker. director of the mint, has asked Starr to sell this collec- tion to the treasury department, either for exhibition or for the coins to be cancelled as worthless. Starr has refused to comply with this re- quest ana NIT. BdheT VIII ASK lne passage of a law to compel the re. turn to the government of imperfect coins
 The old half dollar, two dimes with the dates 1875 and 1890, six Buffalo nickels, four of the new dimes, one Indiana penny and nine Lincoln pen. nies comprise Starrs' latest collec- tion.
 A portion of the disk is unstamped on each of these coins, this having occurred when the die which stamped the coins was not properly centcrcd A portion of the coin was stamped twice in two cases. On one of the Lincoln pennies a part of the die had struck over an already i'm. perfect coin, leaving two separate i'm pressions. neither of which was pro perly centered.

"HUMCRECQUE" AT
 EMPRESS TONIGHT IS GREAT PICTURE

'Humoresque," billed tonight at the Empress. has been conceded by many critics to be the greatest of all photoplays yet produced. It is one of those productions that carries the spectators into the life of which the persons of the play are an inteSe-al part It is wondrously viyid.--beaut- fully human in it's portrayal.
 Sometimes too much praise is given a big production. Sometimes we ex- pect more than the production really imparts. Such is not the case with Humoresque. You will not be disap- pointed. It will hold to all that has been said for it,-aEd more. It is one of those very few productions which reach beyond the imagination one that you will be pleased to see a second time.
 It is a story of lad with soul for music, and the great unselfish moth er-love that helped him to the high places he came to occupy; and of the beautiful girl who stood by him in poverty and in riches, and in the great crisis of his life saver him from himself Rich in the joys and tears of life, Humoresque is close to every heart,-one of the photoplay master pieces of all time.
 Completing the program, and of especial local interest, are the last two reels of the series of Alaskan En- gineering Commission pictures which have been shown, depicting the Gov rernment railroad and surrounding country.
 There will be but one show, begin ming promptly at 8 o'clock. An ad- vance in prices of admission has been made, special rates of 50 cents for adults. 25 cents for children and log es 75 cents, will prevail Friday and Saturday only.
