The big independent convention will
be held at Devils Lake Wednesday and
Thursday of this week. Just what ac-
ton that convention will take about
recall at this time is problenlatical. 1t
seems to be fifty fifty sentiment be-
tween the delegates as to whether we
shall or whether we won't have re-
call. Sentiment is tickle thing at
that. Two weeks ago the sentiment
was decidedly strong against the re-
call while today there seems to be
some change of opinion the other way
If the leaders at Devils Lake are able
to put up a strong showing for re-
cali election it would not be surprls-
ing if one was ordered. Then we
think those opposed to the present
regime would get behind the move
ment. Speaking from a personal
standpoint we hope there will be no
N. w. Rice, of Mckenzie county, had
a failure of wheat crop in 1920, but
he had another crop that yielded him
s12O per acre. The crop from which
he secured such good returns was
Grimm alfalfa and was harvested
from one-half of twelve acre field.
The other half was cut for hay. This
was the second cutting from the field
during the season the first having been
cut for hay. The first cutting pro.
duced twenty-seven tons per acre OF
fine alfalfa. The field was seeded in
1912. Two and one-half acres from
the second cutting was saved from the
seed in 1919. the 576 pounds selling
for S422.15. Half of the field pro-
duced 1885 pounds of cleaned seed IN
1920 of which Mr.. Rice kept 200
pounds to use for seeding his farm.
This Just shows that while one crop
may fail some other crop like alfalfa
will pay big dividends.
Last fall America was threatened
with BUYERS strike. The effect upon
American wage earners quickly devel-
oped the unemployment of two mil
lion men released from factories which
were short Of orders. A continuation
of such a movement would no douDt
have thrown our country into very
distressful times, but with the re-
sumption of buying during December
and January our industries again pro-
ceeded with production and already
over IS per cent Of the idle have been
re-employed. This shows how sensl-
tive are economic conditions to the
, attitude of the buying public. This
shows how such movement reacts to
the detriment of the wage Garner, the
merchant, the manufacturer and every
atom of our Commercial fabric. This
shows what boomerang a. buyers
strike is to the masses who enter into
# Don't halt American Prosperity!
Buy now, all that you need, and keep
buying, if you would keep earning.
The task Of justifying the passaage,
again of the emergency tariff bill
which President Wilson vetoed was
placed on the shoulders of Congress-
man George M. Young yesterday py
the big ways and means commlttee "
the house of representatives, Mr.

The Fargo Forum gives the farm
ers of the state some mighty timely
advice as follows:
| Don't Summer fallow and fight
"Raise all you can and pool it,"
Don't "summer fallow;" pillow and
seed. -
Don't "fght;' make friends and CO.
operate.
Don't trust to the state mill al
I'Drake as a market for your wheat
pool it and sell it comparatively. :.
Don't put your trust in cheap poll
ticians who have fooled you witt
empty promises for four years, anc
left YOU burdened with tripled taxes
with your state ownership program al
a. .standstill. and marketing condition:
worse then they ever were, after yol
have paid them millions in dues ant
subscriptions; put your trust in your
! selves only. cooperate. pool YOU
wheat, sell it yourselves: and manage
your own economic affairs on al
economic basis.
