"For five years there has been a
worldwide famine in facts. Truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the truth
about anything of grave public inter-
ests, seems to have disappeared from
the face Of the earth. The date line
is no longed any sign of the real
source of news. Assertion j" little in
dication Of the truth. The news of
Russia, the Balkans, the Bosporus
and central Europe mostly originates
in London's shifting interests; tidings
of conditions in England, France and
Italy are carefully strained through
the foreign loan centers of Wall
Street and where all the rest of the
worldful of interested if not increas-
ing misinformation comes from the
Lord only knows"

Immediately and make a strong pro-

All North Dakotans should at once

no such bill be passed.
Remember "sedition" is to the State

COOPERATION ONLY WAY OUT

Captain O. S. Beuer, Jr., an expert
in charge Of production of a great
government arsenal during the war,
asserts:
Modern industry under the profit
regime has become, less efficient in
the per capita production of the ne
-cessities Of. life. This has been force
fully brought out by a comprehensive
industrial survey recently made by the
Council Of National Defense. fConse-
quently we hear SO much about the
necessity for increasing production.
In spite Of the last refinements Of ef-
ficiency systems, high speed machines
mass production, we are really worse
off than we have ever been. To say
that modern profit industry is only
ten, percent efficient when compared
with what will eventually become pos
sible when industry is conducted CO.
operatively for service is hardly an
exaggeration."
More and more every day we find
criticism like the above. from Captain
Boyer on the present insane system Of
production, distribution and exchange.
For ourselves, we see no evidence to
indicate that it is 10 percent efficient
as q machine for promoting human
life, liberty and happiness, which our
revolutionary fathers declared to be
the chief purpose Of government. The
old order has dismally failed us; that
is all there is to it, and we will eth
er learn to cooperate for the common
welfare of all mankind, or sink into
a banker-ruled barbarism, such as Ig-
natius Donnelly described in his great
book Caesars Column
Make your choice, farmers, work
ers, engineers and scientists, for you
alone can bring the better order into
being, and NOW is the accepted time
to begin your work ORGANIZED!

Plants On 4 Daylight Ration.


twill come q . surprise to many
'rersons that plants may suffer by rea-
son Of being allowed too much sun
light. In other words they sometimes
thrive better II they are put on ~
lions as far as light 10 concerned. A
recent discovery BY W. W. Garner and
81. A. Allard, Of the bureau Of plant
industry, United States Department Of
Agriculture. shows that, entirely apart
from any effect Of burning, 1t L. pos
sible for plants to have too much sun
light, or, In other words, too many
hours Of daylight In comparison with
the number Of hours Of darkness. Too
long a day as we'll as too short a
day will prevent many kinds Of plants
from ever reaching their stage Of
