o. 1l-HOw Man Learned to Count

Mans first need for q method Of
counting arose with the origin of trade
or barter. Prior to the first meeting
OF tribes there was no need of count.
ing, for everything was owned by the
tribe in common. and nothing by the
individual. When tribes met for the
first time it was quickly discovered
that there was such q need for it de.
veloped that each tribe possessed some.
thing the other could use, and q will
ingness TO exchange such articles star.
ted what We know as trade or barter.
II one tribe wanted what the other
had badly enough, 1t was willing 10
give one, two or many Of the things
1t owned, for one of what the other
had, and from this arose the neces.
sity OF a method OF counting.
As first means OF counting man
naturally used his fingers and thumbs
and eventually his toes.

other object, each time he had counted

HELP NORTH DAKOTA

Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I amy
a member of the Nonpartisan league
and have been watching with deep in
terest and concern the fight on the
League in North Dakota. It seems to
me that large percentage of the big
business Of our country, whose inter-
ests are being threatened by a posi-
BILE success of the industrial program
of the League in North Dakota, are
concentrating their means and efforts
in that state to nip our industrial pro-
gram in the bud.
If they succeed what hopes have we
in other states? What argument can
we put up to our neighbor here, if it
fails in North Dakota?
I am not criticizing the opposition
from business point of view, you un-
derstand. 1t is up to every business
to protect it's business interests.
What want to say is, it is up to the
farmers to do the same thing. If it is
to the business interests of big busi-
ness all over the country to come to
the rescue of their brothers in North
Dakota, it is to the business interests
of the farmers all over the country to
come to the rescue of their brother
farmers in North Dakota.
It is my opinion that in this stage of
the fight, that one dollar spent by US
Leaguers to further the success of our
industrial program in North Dakota
will accomplish more than ten dollars
spent in any other way, in any other
state.
am going to suggest that you start
in the columns of your paper an ap-
peal to the, members of the League all
over this country to start at once
savings account in the Bank of North
Dakota. By that we can muster a
fund that will insure success to the
program. If we deserve success we
will win. It not, we will go down in
defeat. Yours for success,
A. B. MCGOWAN.

|EM = attended a meeting of
MA yE our chamber of COM
fSsIS7 ~ merce, of which I am a
-. - member, and listened to
a man by the name Of Ronald Kings
ley make a few remarks that may be
of interest to you. Mr.. Kingsley is
field secretary of the Colorado Manu-
facturers and Merchants association
and halls from the city of Denver.
Mr.. Kingsley engaged in a lengthy
discussion of business conditions
throughout the state and closed by
making a scathing denunciation of
the Nonpartisan league. He turned
to the two newspaper reporters and
said, II am going to say some things
I do not want seen in print" He said,
"The Nonpartisan league program
may be good or it may be bad, but
whether good or bad it behooves the
business men to fight it to finish"
He said, "The leaders are invading
Colorado and farmers by the score are
focking into the folds of that traitor
Gus organization. The leaders are all
disloyal," he continued, land should
never be allowed to light in Fremont
county,"
After the meeting was over I
CHANGED to meet the gentleman and
"called him" on some of the remarks
he made against the League. He
seemed to be astonished that real
estate man would uphold the League
program and was more astonished
when I told him I would give him
some free advertising in the League
papers.
Mr.. Kingsley and I parted by him
asking me to not quote him, as what
he said was always at the behest Of
the bankers and the association he
was working for.
Many of my business colleagues and
friends have informed me that I must
cease my friendship with the League
speakers and the League program or
my business would be ruined. How
ever, I expect to continue my affilia-
tion with the League and as yet my
business is growing.

FOR BRIDE ELECT.

A miscellaneous shower given last evening for Miss Winnie Westmore- land at the home of Misses Bessie and Nellie Randell, who, with their neice, Miss Gladys Tabor, were hos tesses, proved to be most interest ing and unique event. After games and conversation, the guests were ushered into the dining hall, where the bride-to- be beheld large Christ mas tree filled with beautiful and useful gifts. A careful search of the tree for the minutest gift revealed a genuine birds nest, but the anxious mother bird in hastily departing failed to leave Miss Westmoreland any present.
 The spacious home of the hostesses was appropriately hung with holiday decorations for the occasion. Re treatments consisting of cream and cake were enjoyed by those present.
