TowNLEY's JOB.

Mr.. Townley is back to the posi-
ton he first occupied in the nonpar-
tisan party. He has been given the
supervision of sending out emmisa-
sies, collecting the membership dues
and to do anything he thinks best
- inject new life into the defunct
organization. The membership fed
HAS been reduced from eighteen dol
lars to six fifty. A wonderful re.
luction for the privilege of voting
the socialist ticket. From the ex-
periences of the last two years, we
Relieve Mr.. Townley will conduct his
campaign along different lines from
what he did when he was riding
through the state, like Caesar Of
sld, brandishing his armor, and
'threatening vengeance to any who
opposed him. His prestige is lost
MS main followers are those who
are looking for a political
lib, and others who dislike to admit
they were mislead by q political So
yialist demagogue. We believe
there will be a small percentage of
the thinking farmers who will take
= chance at the six dollar and fifty
cent Townlev drawing when it comes
u a show down.

THE RADIO CRAZE.

In the fall of 1912 the writer.
aided by several of the high school
boys, installed q sending and re-
seiving radio, or wireless station, in
the Pembina high school. This sta
ton has been in operation ever
since, with the exception Of a cou-
PIE of years during the late war
when the government closed all
amateur stations.
Several of the high school boys,
aanong whom were Vernon Thomp-
son, Ryan Booker, Vernon Lucas,
Wmfred Russell and Gordon Ed
Hns, installed stations in their
homes. Most of the instruments
were home made but were effective
and reliable and many were the
evenings that the boys. copied mes
sages on these instruments from
foreign lands. The radiofone is
not as new an invention as many
1hink. It was several years ago
that the scientific men talked from
France to San Francisco, which
conversation was also picked up in
Honolulu and Japan: However, the
1adiofone has made rapid strides
during the last couple Of years and
inst recently what might be called
the radio craze struck the country.

N. p. Agricultural Agent N
Gives Lecture in City Hall

+. Benz. the agricultural agent of]
the Northern Pacific railway, deliy.
cred his lecture as scheduled Nom
day evening. Owing to the rain and
the muddy roads the attendance was
not az large as it otherwise would
have have been. The meeting was
however well attended. There were
about fifty present and the audience
was Interested in the lecture from
start to finish. 7F-.-'17,
Mr.: Benz said that the farming, Il
rightly carried on was the best busi-
ness in the world. That the Ameri-
can farmer. as a class, had the best
capital in soil, but was the most
careless farmer in the world of that
capital. Not only was farming q
great business, but the most noble
calling that human being could
pursue. The farmer could, and that
he should, live like q king. His
home should be q palace, and his
children should have the best edu-
cation obtainable. The farmer need
ed to do justice to his calling, the
best education obtainable. He said
that whatever the farmers of the
northwest did, he should right now,
and forever, abandon the one crop
system. # persisted in, spelled in
evitable ruin. It was only q ques-
tion of time. About potatoes, ne
advised the audience, not to go into
it, but to grow into it. Learn It,
and attend to it properly. Plow
deep but plant shallow, from two to
three inches. He demonstrated the
cutting of potatoes for seed, and
gave very good points on the seed
ing and the general method Of cul-
tivation.
His final advice was: After you
have takem your crop out Of the
ground market it, like a man. Do
not hold back for higher price, till
you have killed the market.

Every reliable radio instrument

conditions. But the big Winnipeg
station should be heard most any
evening this summer. Better get
you set and string single wire

if you can't afford to do that Just
hook the set to your bed springs,
put the receiver on your ears and
let the Symphony Orchestra of
some faraway city lull you to sleep
and pleasant dreams.

~LEAGUERS AND THEIR
FRIENDS MUST REGIST.
Err AS REPUBLICANS OR
THEY WILL LOSE VOTE

Because df these tactics on the
part Of the Nonpartisans it is very
essential that the anti Townley De
nocrats align themselves with anti
Eownley Republicans. The next real
contest between Townleyism and
anti-Townleyism will take place in
the primaries and on the Republi-
can ballot.
In the primaries there will be q
Republican ballot and q Democratic
BALLOT as we'll as q Nonpartisan bal
lot judicial, school and county,.
In the general election there will be
q ballot with a Republican column, q
Democratic column, and Nonparti-
aan ballot.
By means Of good political faith,
= is possible to overcome handicap
ping legal obstacles and insure a
complete anti-T Townley victory with
a fair division of. governmental pow
er and position as between the two
dominant parties. Under ordinary
conditions all state offices would fall
to Republicans. Now neither Repub-
2cans nor Democrats can get any
where by going it alone. With po-
titical good faith all around it is pos
aible for the Democrats to now get
At least one-third of the state offices
and possibly more. In this connec-
aion it is well to keep in mind that
there are no political sores that are
as hard to head as the breaking of
s'good faith" agreements. It is
yroper that they should be hard to
Veal. There would be no honor in
politics were it otherwise.
Everybody in North Dakota and
almost everybody in the nation
knows that r. A. Nestos had votes
enough to be elected last November
and that he has gained materially
sirce then. Nothing but breaking of
faith by Democrats or the boosters
of senatorial aspirants can bring
about his defeat now.-1ndependent
