R. A. NESTOS GETS
ROYAL WELCOME

| Last Friday the largest auditorium
in any city along the Killdeer- Man.
dan branch Of the N. p. did not hold
more than half Of the crowd that had
assembled to hear r. A. Nestos, indie
pendent candidate for governor at
Halliday. The hall was full fully two
hours before Nestos arrived. He had
to speak twice in order to satisfy the
crowd which had come from all parts
Of Dunn and Mercer counties. At both
meetings Nestos discussed issues in
detail and was cheered by indepen-
dents and nonpartisans alike, about
half the crowd being nonpartisans.
Several of these declared themselves
in favor Of the recall election.
This is Dunn county's answer to
the propaganda Of T. II. H. Thoreson,
states attorney, and Martin F. Blank,
editor of the local league paper and
their henchmen who recently tried to
use their church connections as a
means Of building political capital for
Frazier, Lemke and Hagan, and them
selves, at the expense Of Nestos and
the annual convention of the Mandan
Circuit of the Young Peoples League
Of the Norwegian Lutheran Church Of
America. A year ago Nestos had
promised to address the annual con-
vention of the convention Of the Man
dan circuit this year. The convention
was held at Dunn Center and Nestos
was scheduled to speak at it's evening
meeting on Saturday the eleventh.
The program was arranged by the dis
trict committee. When it was made
public few local nonpartisans OBJ
,jected to that number on the program
which consisted of an address on.
christian citizenship by r. A. Nestos.
A half dozen local radicals joined in
threat to break up the convention if
he came to speak. When this infor-
nation reached Mr.. Nestos he gen.
tlemanly passed up the occasion and
went on through Dunn Center to- Kill
deer at which point arrangements had
been made to take him to the Killdeer
Mountains to deliver a non-political
address at country picnic the follow
ing day.
Before the close Of the Young Peo-
pies convention on June twelfth the
trustees of the Normanna Lutheran
church issued a statement branding
as the rankest propaganda every ef-
fort to make political capital out Of
he above matter and especially con-
demning the Dunn County Farmers
Journal and it's editor for the insid-
ious manner in which they had at
tempted to drag the good name Of the
church and the Luther League into
their political mire. Mr.. Joseph Kit
chen, candidate for commissioner of
agriculture and labor also spoke at
the two Halliday meetings. Promin-
ent independents in Dunn county pre-
iicted that after the two meetings
at Halliday Dunn county would 20
against the present administration in
the fall election. g.- E&t |

President J. R. Howard Of the
American Farm Bureau Federation, in
addressing the Iowa Bankers Asso-
citation in Des Moines. on June 7th:
said in part: "The last two years
have been particularly disastrous to
the farmer. During war, times he did
not prosper as did other interests. He
had no cost plus contracts, but ne
paid the cost plus price on a larger
bulk of commodities than any other
class Of our eitizenfy. Business pros
pers largely when the farm market is
good. National prosperity diminishes
with the farm market. A survey
made two years ago of large num-
Der of American farms indicated that
the farmer uses three-sevenths Of all
the steel and iron :, manufactured"
ssWhen our prices went down we re-
ceived no benefits from reductions in
the things which we had to buy, and
we were neither able to meet our out
standing obligations or to contract
new ones. The result has been di-
minishing farm market. The business
interests Of the country realize this
The advertising pages Of practically
every farm paper in America have
dropped to one third their former vol
ume. Not until the purchasing power
Of the farmer is restored will COM
merce, or industry, or transportation
again prosper"

PLAIN HINTS TO
FOIL CAR THIEF
Cleveland Auto Distributor Gives
Some Practical Sugges-
tons to Owners.
REMOVE DISTRIBUTOR ROTOR
Unique and Effective Scheme 10 20
Have Blind Switch In ignition
System-o Other Methods 70
Discourage Robbers.

Some ingenious yet simple ways to
foil the automobile thief, who often
laughs at locksmiths when he begins
tinkering with motorcars, are sug-
gested by Emil c. Hertz, Cleveland
automobile distributor.
Mr.. Hertz's first suggestion Is to
remove the distributor rotor. Without
this rotor there can be no spark, he
says, and without the spark no gaso-
line motor will run. The rotor Is one
Of the easiest things to get at, 50 It's
removal by the car owner, when he
leaves his vehicle parked In some
street Is all the easier. 4
As there are several different kinds
Of rotOrs, 1t is all the more difficult
for the thief. since he would have to
carry almost every type to have the
correct one available when needed.
Even though half of all the automobile
thieves were equipped with complete
sets Of rotors, the car stealing hazard
would be reduced 30 per cent. 4
4 Unique and; Effective .sehsms. 4 /,
Perhaps the most unique and effec-
tive scheme to protect car, continued
Mr.. Hertz, Is to have blind switch
In some concealed part of the main
ignition system. Probably nine out Of
ten thieves would be utterly baf1ed
II the circuit were broken In this way
because it is device they would least
expect. They would naturally look for
the commoner methods Of disabling
cars but there is no standard way
available to the thief for locating the
trouble caused by q blind switch.
Another simple, though less ehectual
way to battle the amateurish thiefeis to
disconnect the wire at the coil, IN
connection with the generator. In
many makes of cars there is only one
wire exposed on the coil and 1t may.
be detached at either end with little
trouble. s .5
There is still another way to discour-
age the motor car thief and that is
to cross the spark plug wires to say
the fourth and fifth or. the fifth and
sixth cylinders Of a ''six." This cross
ing Of the wires causes back firing
and resultant heavy artillery when the
engine is started will often cause the
less hardened thief to flee in dismay,
asserts Mr.. Hertz.
Some car owners however, would
not approve Of this method Of thwart-
ing the thief because Of the danger Of
blowing of the muffler Of the cars
mechanism.
Keep Record Of Numbers.
Finally, be sure that you record the
numbers of your motor and tires in
memorandum book and keep the book
where you can always lay your hands
upon. it, advises Mr.. Hertz, who cites
an instance of q ear which was stolen
in Boston, Mass, and recovered and
identified four months later by one of
the original tires. T

WHAT IS "A PROTECTIVE TARIFF

The assertion of Representative,
Young of North Dakota, republican
member of the ways and means com
mittee, that many Of the proposed
rates in the permanent tariff schedul,
are too high ought not to subject hin
to a charge of party irregularity
Charges that his views indicate devel
opment of insurgency in the republi
can ranks in congress are i'll founded
The tariff question today is moi
what it was at the time of adoption
of the Payne-Aldrich bill nor in the
time of any previous administration
since Washington. What were once
clearly defined republican politics are
now affected by completely altered
conditions of international trade, anc
by the change in the position Of the
United States from that Of debtor
nation to the worlds chief creditor. Il
is possible that new or slightly alter:
ed policies may be in process of for:
nation. Until policies are revealed
in the completed bill no comment OF
suggestion can properly be construct
ed as irregular.
Mr.. Young and the entire Minnesota
republican delegation, for instance
are prepared to line up against the bill
unless lumber is left on the free list
We believe that lumber ought to be
left on the free list. Our own forests
are so depleted and our own price SO
high that all building and most lines
of manufacture are handicapped. All
building and most manufactures
which use lumber either in their pro-
duct or in shipping will be assisted by
keeping it on the free list in order
that we may buy from the vast supply
available across our northern border
such an arrangement is for the good
of the vast majority. Certainly to
advocate such good is not against
republican principles.
Economically we have vast interests
in common with Canada. The incident
of a political boundary line ought Rot
to work to the disadvantage Of those
interests andto the loss of millions OF
people. We also have economic inter-
ests of a somewhat different kind but
of no less volume in common with
other countries throughout the world.
They have changed with the war to
something new and puzzling. 1t is
task for the trainers of our new tariff
to protect the interests Of information
al trad cas- we'll as to protect home in
dustries. Withous foreign markets
our buiness and industry cannot sur
vive We cannot afford to kill such
markets by barring out all their pro-
ducts.
It is essential to American industry
and prosperity that skilled workman,
ship. efficient management; improved
machinery, the best possible use OF
natural resources, and properly ap..
piled energy in every endeavor be used
for it's protection. II we. produce :at
lower cost per unit Of labor, than for
eign countries can produce we can
compete in all markets without lower
ering wages or standard OF living
A tariff consistent with all sound re-
publican principles can be formulated
with that idea in nind.-Chicago Tri-
bune.

TO TIGHTEN I DOSE VIBRATOR
When scrsws Holding Brass Jackets
I Become Worn IL 10 Good Plan 70
Use Metal Band.

In case the screws that hold the
small brass jackets to the vibrator
box become worn SO that they do not
grip any more, do not try to remedy
the trouble BY using longer screws, as
this will probably injure the windings
OF the coil and ruin the vibrator. The
better plan is to put metal band
clear around the box and attach It
to the dash with small bolts.

Occasionally some bather is taken sick
while in the water and his cries for

false alarms. The rivers and lakes

Word has been received from Kan
sas and Texas through the state fed
eral free employment agencies that
harvest help in abundant in those
states. In Texas men are going from
farm to farm seeking work. The 60.
ing wage is $3.50 per day. In Kansas
the farmers organizations have
agreed to pay $3.50 per day for east
ern Kansas and So per day for west
ern Kansas. The harvest will be over
down there before we need the men
and by the time we do need thin they
will be coming this way so help should
be plentiful for harvest this year. The
present outlook is that if grain con:
tinues at it's present gait harvest will
be ten days earlier than it was last
year, much Of the crop being ready for
