A one-day drive for signatures on

A one-day drive for signatures on
the recall petitions recently put on
at Minot resulted in little more than
two thousand signatures. The work
of picking up the ones that were MISS
ed is still going on and will continue,
it is reported until everybody has
been given an opportunity to sign.
In Casselton a number of the local
women took the recall petitions a.
round among the people of the city
one day last week, with result that
349 of the 440 people who voted for
O'Connor signed up on the petitions
the first day. This work, which was
under the direction of w. j. Bell,
Mayor of Casselton, it is understood
is going to be followed up until all
voters, even those who voted for Fra
zier, will be given an opportunity to
sign the recall petitions, so it may
not be truthfully charged that even
though they voted for Frazier they
may now have an opportunity to put
out of Office men who have deliberate
ly squandered several millions of tax
money and even used some of it for

The 1921 Play Day promises to be
a grand success. The county fair
grounds have been measured off into
sections for the athletic events, and
the base ball diamond has been level

a floor. The grand stand which faces
south seats 1000 people, and serves
as windbreak for the different e.

been appoisted and are busy makisg

The Lemke-Frazier bond selling
junket is great treat for the upper
crust Socialists to get next to North
Dakota's pie counter. Pickings are
getting smaller all the time for these
birds of evil oment, so on the pay
roll of North Dakota they go. OF
course the law never provided for
such a junket, such salaries, or such
a general Socialist propaganda, but
what's the law among Socialists? !?
Constitutions and law are alright to
them when operated in their favor,
but otherwise of no consequence. Be-
sides after having fed forty Socialists
for four years North Dakota will
hardly know the difference if half a
dozen more are attached to her. In
the end it only means few more mil
lion dollars in bonds which our child
rem will have to pay to make up for
our spree.

PRESENTING ARGUMENTS FOR
COMING RECALL ELECTION

Was there any Big Biz or small
biz concern that ventured to build
million dollar mills and elevators
when the war prices for labor and
material and machinery were still
soaring? Not a one. But the state
Industrial Commission, state tax mon
ey being free and easy, never hestt-
tated minute to put a million dol
lars into such a scheme with millions
more to go in, before it can be finish
ed for anything. There is plenty of
evidence that proves that the charges
of mismanagement made against the
Industrial Commission are true. Tie
more bonds they sell, the more money
they will have to mismanage, and the
more taxpayers will have to dig up.
Bring on the recall.

The Drake mill was bought for
$4,000. Plenty Of capital was fur
nished. 1t paid no taxes. 1t bought
sacks when they were cheap. The
managers told the public during the
two 1920 campaigns about its won
derful profits. The Leader and Cour-
ier News fairly went into ecstacics
over those profits. Now it appears
there was a loss of $4,000 and no
profit. Whoever questioned the
Drake Mill profits during those cam
paigns was liar, an enemy of the
farmer, a big biz tool and what not.
What kind of farmer friends were
Frazier, Hagan McGovern and that
bunch who squandered $4,000 OF
the farmers taxes and then lied a.
bout it?

Has not the Bank of North Dakota

Has not the Bank of North Dakota
had from ten to thirty-five million
dollars of the peoples money ever
since it started in spite of the fact
that it started on wind. OF course
i has. Is there any bank on this side
of the Twin Cities that has had one,
half or one-third such fnuds to do
business with? Certainly not. Then
why in the name of common sense
couldn't Cathro with the State Indus
trial Commission back of him do bus
iness like other bankers if his man
agement was so great? Registering
checks" is simply another way of re-
fusing to pay checks calling for re-
payment money deposited with the
bank.

BEARS-LIONS- CATS
AND PORCUPINES COMEDY
RELIEF IN ALASKAN DRAMA

An unknown element in dramatic
screen production, the introduction
Of animal comedy to relieve tension,
has been successfully practiced in
Back to Gods Country, by James
Oliver Curwood, adapted from his
famous magazine story "Wapi, the
Walrus", which will be seen at the
Bijou Theatre, Saturday, May 7th.
Nell Shipman, popular American
screen favorite, as Dolores; Wheeler
Oakman, Wellington Playter 'and
Charles Airing. in the roles in the
cast, portray their parts with the aid
and support of nearly two dozen ami
mails, consisting of bears, wolves.
lynx, fox, deer, mountain lions, rae
coons, porcupines, goats and other
forest beasts, trained to perfection by
expert animal trainers.
Probably no picture production ev-
er released has more unusual array
of animal talent. Cost of the ami
mails, although great, was minor in
comparison to the cost in time and
patience to induce them to develop
an affection or hatred toward the
various cast members with whom
they were to work.
Critics have placed a high approv-
al on "Back to Gods Country" and
the local management promises it
will be one of the most pleasing at
fractions to be seen at that theatre
in several months.

Did it ever occur to you what
strange case that of the Frazier-Lem-
Ike gang is? When they fail to do
what they have promised, thes the
fault is never theirs. Oh, no. They
are perfect, but evil people interferei
For instance, when the Scasdinavian-
American Bank was closed in 1919,
Hall and. LANCER were such bank
wrecking Williams that Lemke burst
a blood vessel calling them sames.
A carload of wooden, type was used
to burn them up in the Leader and
the Courier-News. And Ole Lofthus
wrote a letter telling how very SOL
vent the bank was, letter that
makes him look like a cheap goat in
the light of later events. Then the
Bank of North Dakota run by the In
dustrial Commission put 100000
more public funds into the Solvent"
Scandinavian-American Bank. In
fusios or TRANSMISSION gave the "sol-
vent" enemic strength to travel eigh-
teen months more when it was closed
by order of Lofthus, who had vouched
for its solvency Now Hall and Lang
er were harmless. LANCER was out
and Hall only one of three on the
banking board. Why doesn't the
Leader and Courier-News admit that
Hall asd LANCER did their duty as
honest men, far superior to Frazier,
Lemke or Hagan, and apologize for
blaming Hall and Lasger when it was
Frazier and Lemke's pals and his
concerss that had "bled the bank
pale" to elect Frazier, Lemke and
Hagan? Why did not Cathro through
Lofthus find out If the Scandinavian
American Bank was solvent or broke
before he put in 100000 more of
the states money? He had certain
ly had his attention called to the pos
sibility of danger in that bank in a
most emphatic manner. Even peo-
pie who are fundamentally opposed
to the recall believe it to be a public
duty to apply to officials who are
guilty of squandering public funds
and are guilty of using some of them
for themselves, especially when such
officials ran neither be punished or

1t is not so much a desire to get
money with which to replace the pub
lie funds that have been frozen and
squandered as it is desire to develop
a National political movement that
prompts Frazier, Lemke and Hagaa
to hold meetings in the big cities of
the country and talk about North Da-
kota's Industrial Democracy. It is
safe bet that good portion of the
money they collect from people in
Massachusetts,, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
etc., by means of bond selling will be
used for political propaganda, much
the same as was done with money
collected by means of the Consum-
ers' Stores. over capitalized newspa-
pers, etc., in North Dakota. The only
difference being that in the end the
people of North Dakota will have to
pay the bonds that are sold, while
In case with the Consumers Store
scheme those who were fooled into
buying store certificates paid the bill.
Presumably the one hundred eighty
six thousand dollars that were left in
the Industrial Commission appropri-
alton in February are now being
spent in payment of the Frazier, Lem
ke Hagan mission to the big cities,
and so it comes about that in the end
the people of North Dakota, the great
est number of whom are farmers, are
made to pay the cost of organizing
the l. w. WIS and communists of the
large cities into political party to
work with the farmers of North Da-
kota, who are just as Objectionable
capitalists to the sum of the big cities
when the soap boxers talk on the
street corners as the bankers of Wall
Street are when the smoothest of the
radicals in the big cities slip out to

ism.

There are many people, in fact a
great many in North Dakota, who are
just as much opposed to the princi-
pie of recall of public officials as the
average person is opposed to the use
of sawed-off shot-guns on human be-
ings. but when the average fellow
understands that he is in such a posi-
tion that he must either use the re-
call or acquiesce in the looting of
public treasures by public omcials,
he will just as readily sign as our
boys used the sawed off shot gun
when there is no other way.
The recall which is under way a.
gainst Frazier, Lemke and Hagan is
not prompted so much by opposition
to their official misdeeds as Govern
or, Attorney-General, and Commits
sioner of Agriculture and Labor as by
their recklessness and federation of
dishonest public service as members
of the Industrial Commission. AS
members of this body these men are
protected by a set of laws under
which they can do most anything they
take notion to do with our tax
money and yet be immune from pun
iishment in our courts. In fact, the
Governor has even defied the courts
tn foil hin, what fo dO
An effort was made by the Inde-
pendent majority to get these laws
changed so as to make public money
safe. This proposition met with stub
born opposition of the thret: men a.
bout to be recalled.
| In the face of these facts, one can
readily understand why the average
man and woman when put up agains!
a proposition of either acquiescing in
the misdeeds of the three officials or
applying the recall to them decides to
sign the recall petitions even when
fundamentally opposed to the princi-
pie of the recall. With the decent
people of North Dakota it is now q
case of retract or recall.

FIRST BERRIES SOLD
FOR DOLLAR A BOX

Plant City, Dec. 3.-The earliest
three quarts of strawberries in the
United States this winter were
brought in Tuesday by Wick Level
len, of Galloway The berries were
bought by W. L. Russell at eighty
cents a quart. He was asking dol
lar for them early Wednesday. South
Florida berries are the earliest in the
United States, and Mr.. Llewellen's
were the first to be offered on the
market here; so. it seems that he has
the distinction of being the first man
in this country to have Strawberries
ready for market this winter.
Mr.. Llewellen stated that he would
be ready to pick again Saturday Mr..
Russell engaged sixteen quarts from
him in the event he has that many.
Otherwise Mr.. Russell agreed to take
as many as he can furnish. Mr. Lew
ellen, of Galloway, is reported to
have very fine berry fields this sea-
son. The Llewellens of the Galloway
section have record for bringing in
early strawberries. Those brought in
Tuesday were large, well colored and
fine looking specimens.
