So. so and $40 pork will be demanded
of congress by 500 farmers, members
of the Nonpartisan league, who are
scheduled to meet here June Z and. 8
in annual convention. Tom Ayers,
editor Of the leagues state paper and
a candidate for United States senator
last fall, declared the farmers would
that congress fix the price for
wheat and pork at practically the
same price as existed during the war
time. Ayers points out that farmers
contracted their debts between 1916
and 1919, when prices were at the top,
and that the process of dehation has
left them with their debt paying

LINTON TO CELEBRATE
Park Board and City Council Take
Steps to Provide Big Time at
Linton This Year. Come and En-
joy the Park and the Celebration,

At a joint meeting of the city coun-
Gil and the park board Monday night
it was decided to arrange for a big
time at Linton on the Fourth, this
year. It was the unanimous senti-
ment of all the officials that Linton's
noted park and pavilion makes cele-
bration at this point a simple thing to
pull of, and one that will draw for
many miles around. Even without
aything else in the way of entertain
ment, the picnic, swimming and other
recreation facilities at the park would
bring crowd on the Fourth. With
the program that is being prepared,
including athletics and everything else
that goes to make up big time, the
crowd will no doubt be record
breaker.
The city council will have general
supervision Of plans, and the following
two committees were also chosen:
Finance: M. T. Barger, o. Becker
and H. C. Lynn
Advertising and Program: F.. B..
Streter, H. o. Sauer and H. H. Han
son,
Other announcements. will be made
from time to time. However, make
up your mind now that the next Fourth
of July will find you at Seeman Park,
Linton.

poem during the second battle of
Ypres, April, 1915. Today Lieut.. Nc

We shall not sleep, though poppies

We shall not sleep, though poppies
grow

dead heroes that Monday, May 3Oth,
has officially been set aside in Linton

Poppy headquarters will be estab-
lished in booths situated at prominent
corners Of the city, which will be pro-

endeavor to see that every one is
wearing poppy on that day.
The profits derived from the sale Of
the poppies will be used to defray the
necessary expenses Of the day, and the
balance used by the American Legion.

MARYLAND Congressman Opens
Attack on Volstead Act.
Prohibition "Un-American In Prln.
cipIe" Says Representative Hill
Who Won French Cross.

"ashington-The battle to bring
back beer and light wines will be
fought to a finish in this Congress, it
was declared by both. vets and drys.
The fight will come to a head In the
House as soon as the tariff and taxa.
tion program can be cleared aside
Preliminary preparations for the
clash were commenced by the drys
whose ranks were bombshelled by a
new member from Maryland, Repre-.
sentative Hill of Baltimore, who unex.
pectedly tossed in bill to repeal the
Volstead act
Representative Volstead accepted
Mr.. Hills challenge. He is chairman
of judiciary committee that will report
on the repeal bill. He made it clear
that while hearings will be full and
fair, every effort will be made by him
to throttle the wet bill.
Mr.. Hill is a fighting World war vet.
eran who won the Croix de Guerre at
Verdun and went through the Meuse.
Argonne offensive with distinction.
II want to repeal the Volstead law
prlnclpally Decausetlt is an utterly un.
American principle of government" he
said.
Mr.. Hill believes he will succeed for
two reasons:
81. My bill, If passed, will not bring
back the saloon, but would allow each
state to have beer and light wines il
the people SO voted.
"2. The prohibitionists themselves
never thought prohibition would 20 to
the extreme it has. They never would
have voted for it Il they had known
how far it would reach. Most Of them
are ready now to get away from the
drastic limits Of the present"
Mr.. Hill, who was for five years
United States district attorney at Bal.
stimore, added that the Volstead act is
SO widely and hagrantly violated that
It is undermining respect for all laws
throughout the country.

BILL FRANK ESCAPES DEATH
Lineman for the Local Electric Light
Company Has 1880 Volts of Elec-
tricity Through His Body for Ten
Minutes. y,

Bill Frank, lineman for the Emmons
County Light and Power Co.,
miraculously escaped death Tuesday
afternoon when he came in contact
with live wires Of the company lines
while working at the top Of the pole
just in front of the w. E. Petrie
Co.'S side door. Frank had been cut
ting over the wires for the company
while the plant was running. An
inch or two of each Of three wires
were not insulated right where Frank
was working. He was working on
the north side Of the pole when his
left elbow evidently got close to the
unprotected wire to the south, causing
a circuit through his body. He had
his pliers in his right hand. Lester
Mills was helping Frank, and was at
the foot of the pole at the time of
the accident. When the electricity
1890 volts-went through Franks
body, it pulled him down on the wires,
his face resting there. Mills at once
called DR.. Wolverton and went for a
ladder. Harry Lynn saw the accident
from across the street and telephoned
the power house to close off the juice.
Others tried to secure blanket in
Petrie's store to break the victims
fall when he should be released. Just
as the blanket was brought out, the
juice was turned off and Frank fell
to the ground. In falling he struck
the ladder and slid part way along it,
his fall being thus broken to some ex-
tent. He was rushed to Wolverton's
hospital, only few yards away from
the accident, and yesterday was doing
as well as could be expected. DR..
Wolverton reports that he will re-
cover without any serious permanent
injury, although his. right hand and
his left forearm were badly burned.
His back was somewhat injured by the
fall. 1t is estimated that the 1890
volts of electricity entered through one
arm, passed through his body and out
the other arm for a period of nearly
ten minutes before the power was shut
down. That he was not killed by the
experience seems miracle.

POPPIES AS A TRIBUTE TO WAR
DEAD
May 30th Dedicated to Memory Of
Flanders Fields

In Flanders Fields the roppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly,
Scarce heard amidst the guns below.
We are dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we live
In Flanders fields.
