The headquarters Of the North
Dakota State Federation of Farm bu-
reaus will be located at Fargo accord
inp to a decision just received. Sew
eral other cities of the state sought
to secure the headquarters but the
advantages of Fargo, by reason OF
it's better means of communication
and the fact that the Agricultural
college is already located here, were
recognized as superior.
Another of the roses has Wllted ana
fallen. The last to close its petals
and lose it's fragrance is }. a; NC,
Govern, manager of the State MIL ana
Elevator Association, who has an
nounced his resignation because some
other high bug in the nonpartlsann
league is not running things to SUIT
Mce;overn's taste. Importation hg,,
ures will perhaps run up to record
mark next month, as there are prom,
ises of several more trusted anu
obedient" office holders OF the league
jumping the traces.

If VALLEY CITY, speaking before the
twentv-second annual convention, OF
the North Dakota Implement Dealers
at Fargo Wednesday, declared that
1T is a pity and a shame" that the
investment funds of the country, here
tofore loaned so freely to the farm
ers of North Dakota at progressively
reduced rates, are no longer available
for the state needs and development,
and that money is called home as last
as the mortgages fall due. The sub
iect of Mr.. Earley's address was
stFinancing the Farmer
Postmaster w. w. Smith is trying
r. induce the patrons of the Office who
receive mail addressed simply "Va!-
ley City, North Dakota" to have thelr
correspondents place the street, street
number or lock box number on thelT
mail, this will expediate delivery, ana
prevent needless delays. The valley
City postoffice receives great deal
of mail and as there are quite num-
Der of the same name, and others who
do not leave any information at the
most Office as to where their mail is
to be delivered, it is needless to say
that the clerks handling mail are at
a loss to know for whom such mail is
meant, or where it is to be delivered.
Patrons of the Office who wish to as
sist in correcting the conditions men
toned will therefor advise their cor
respondents to place the street, street
number, or lock box number on let
tiers when writing them all Of which
will be appreciated by the clerks hav-
ing to handle the mail.
The opening gun in a fight by non
partisans against United States Sena-
tor Porter McCumber, should he seek
reelection in the United States SEN
ate for the fifth term, has been fired
bv the Fargo organ of the Nonparti
san league. There have been reports
among politicians in the state for
many months that McCumber would
face fight in the next election in
1922. A sarcastic editorial in the Far
go organ is the first really open sign
of hostility of the league, which al
ways has been regarded as very
friendly to McCumber. Several non
nartisans are reported to have asplra-
tions for the seat of Senator McCum-
Der. Elected to the senate first in
1899, Senator McCumber was re-elect-
ed in 1866, 1911 and 1916, and with
over 20 years of service in the national
body, he ranks second only to Sena-
tor Lodge in length of service. The
league organ attacks McCumber for
voting against regulation of the meat
packing industry, remarks on employ
ment and his views on legislation to
aid farmers.
