Here's TheSchedule

Manager H. Wahl of the ball team
has announced schedule of the ball
games which the local team has book
ed so far this season Among the list
are some very strong teams and the
prospects of a fine season Is good
The next game to be played is with
Elm Point on the local diamond next
Sunday, June 1S. June Is the team
plays at, Turtle Lake. July at Stan
ton. July with Garrison here, July
% Stanton here. July 30 at Garrison
The manager was disappointed with
the crowd that witnessed the game
Sunday as 1t was not large enough to
pay the expenses Of the game. The
aim of the manager and the team is
to make each game pay for itself and
il this cannot be done there is poss-
itility that games on the home dia-
mond will have to be cancelled, az
there is no other way to finance the
games except through the gate re-
ceipts. When games are played in
other towns the home teams expenses
are paid but when team comes here
the local boys must pay their expens-
es, and this cannot be done unless
there is good crowd out to see the
game. ., Sd .ss,s.,.. 5.,5-. ..,ssr.,,q r.

The Slopes Debt

The counties in southwestern North
Dakota have every reason. to be grate-
full to Senator McCumber this year, for
only through his measure appropriat-
ing $1,500,000 for seed for the farmers
in this section has been made possible
the splendid acreage which with sea-
sonable weather and an abundant rain
fall gives promise of the best crop
ever recorded.
While Morton, Grant, Oliver ana
Mercer counties received a liberal
share of this government aid, Slope,
Hettinger, Adams Bowman and Stark
counties have been the largest bene-,
flciaries, and the broad expanse Of
green fields all over the West Slope
makes one wonder what the prospect
would have been had it not been for
the timely and liberal federal aid.
It is true that Senator McCumber's
bill, originally for $5,000.000 was pared
in the process Of getting 1t through
congress; It is also true that but for
Senator McCumber's influential posi-
ton In congress the chances for get
ting any relief whatever would have
been decidedly slim. ~
With normal crop this federal aid
will mean an addition to the wealth of
the West Slope of between ten and
fifteen million dollars and the voters
of this section will not forget the
timely and persistent efforts Of Sen.
McCumber on primary, election day.

drouth-stricken sections. After this
bill had passed the Senate and had
gone to the House every effort was
made to kill it. Senator McCumber

it was largely through his efforts that

he is to busy with work and will not

But that will not stop the people from
getting their bouquet, if they will but
ask for it. Mr.. Diesen says to, tell the
people to come to the house and they
can get as many as they want just
for the asking.
Don't crowd folks. There's hum

Author First National Dry Law
After a law begins operation, as
time passes, its authorship frequently

remember, il they have ever known,
that Senator McCumber is the author
OF the first national prohibition law
ever enacted. When he first came to
the Senate, saloons and barrooms
flourished in the capitol and several
other public buildings In Washington.
Senator Nc cCumber introduced q bill,
which after q vigorous fight became
Capitol and prohibiting the sale of Ii
quor In all public buildings, and that
was! the beginning of the fight that cul-
minated eventually in he national
prohibition amendment. The doughty
North Dakota fighter always has been
q champion Of temperance measures.
Twenty years ago Sen. McCumber
introduced and obtained the enact
sment of q bill to prevent misbranding
'and adulteration of foods and drugs.
This was the beginning of the fight
for epochal pure food and drug law
subsequently enacted after several
years OF vigorous agitation and fight
ing in which the North Dakota senator
was leader. The law to prevent
false branding Of dairy products was
another measure Of similar nature,
whose enactment Senator McCumber
obtained. 4 + + NJ

Woman Candidate
 In Georgia Runs
 Without Platform,

Atlanta, September 11.--"Candi dates have always been willing to accept any vote-catching doctrine that time decrees" is the opinion of Miss Bessie Kempton. Fulton counc- one of the three women in Georgia running for the general assembly to be nominated in the state democratic primary next Wednesday. And for this very reason" she declared, 'l am making my campaign without a platform"
 The pretty young candidate. who is also a newspaper reporter. asserted she "has some very definite ideas in reference to new and remedical legis- lation needed by Fulton and the state" but tissues that are alive and uppermost in public thought today are entirely likely to be among the things forgotten when the legisla- ture of 1923 meets.s
 Miss Nettie Powell, Marion coun- ty. and Mrs. Viola Napier. Bibb. are the other two women candidates for the assembly. Georgia women will vote for the first time in state primary Wednesday and a strong campaign has been waged for their support by the various candidates. Candidates for governor, other state house offices and Congress are to be nominated.

VOTE ON BILL WILL BE DELAYED UNTIL
 TARIFF IS PASSED
Conferees Seek to Eliminate Provisions Known to Be Displeasing to Harding.
 Four Changes Made
By Associated Prsss

Washington, September 11.-Con- ferees on the soldiers bonus bill 1t was announced that the measure reached an agreement late today, and would be reported tomorrow to the House. It will not be called up there, however, until after the con ference report on the tariff bill has been disposed of, which may be on Wednesday or Thursday. After the House acts, the bonus bill will go to the Senate, where it is to be put be- hind the tariff.
 Four major changes were made in the bill in conference. They were:
 elimination of the Simmons amendment authorizing the financing of the bonus out of interest from the foreign debt.
 Elimination of the land reclamation feature, which under the Senate plan embodied in the Smith -McNary reclamation bill, would have involved an expenditure of s35O,O00. .00O.
 The limiting of the time in which veterans might file applications for a bonus to January 1. 1928.
 Acceptance of the House provision fixing the amount to be advanced for farm or home aid to the amount of the adjusted service credit if the application were made in 1923 to 14o per cent if application were made in 1928 or thereafter.
 Seek to Please Harding
 No important change was made in the adjusted service certificate op- tion, with it's provisions for loans to veterans by banks in the next three years and for government loans thereafter. The vocational training aid option and the provision for cash payments to veterans whose adjust ed service credit would not exceed $50 also were unchanged.
 Much of the three hours session of the conferees was understood to have been devoted to-a decision of whipping the bill into such shape as would meet the publicly expressed objection of President Harding. It was represented by some republicans that the measure would have better chance of presidential approval with out the Simmons amendment and the reclamation option, and accord ingly those were voted out.
 There still was no official infor- ma, s,tion as to whether Mir. Harding would approve the measure in it's present form. Owing to a promised fight on the tariff bill conference report in the Senate. it may be ten days or two weeks before the bonus measure reaches the White House.
 Two of the ten onferees--Senator Shoot, republican, Utah, and Repre- sentative Garner, democrat, Texas, voted against the bonus as finally perfected, while one member, Rep resentative Collier, democrat, Miss issippi, was absent Those support ing the measure were Senators Mo- Cumber North Dakota and Mel can, Connecticut. republicans, and Sim mcns North Carolina and Walsh. Massachusetts, democrats, and Rep resentatives Fordney, Michigan, Green, Iowa. and Longworth, Ohio, republicans.

 Great Interest was shown in Mont gomery over Mobile wining the first pennant in its career as a member of the Southern league.

 Washington, September 11.-(Spc- cial. .)-AThe women of Alabama little dream that in legal sense they are serfs; their condition such as to cause the death of proud people. The men of Alabama little dream that their sisters are forced to move under such a shameful shadow.
 But the above is true or the Ma tional Woman's party, with head quarters here, has corralled all tho existing Munchausens. Alabama laws as they apply to women were dis cussed by the members of this party here tonight.
 The National womans party, since equal-suffrage was established, mas engaged itself in a movement to llb- crate women from the legal chairs ttey allege bind them. They have found the statutes of many states unsatisfactory among them the statutes of Alabama. During the last session of the legislature in Alabarna. they endeavored to put through a blanket bill making Alabama women "free," but Alabama women displayed such little interest in the effort of outside and more Advanced" sisters that Alabama men refused to enact the bill.
 The National woman's party is still fighting, however, and Alabama hasn't heard the end of their argu- ment yet.
 Instance of Equality < The National Woman's party wants every law to apply to everybody equally. One provision of their blan- ket bill gives a wife the right to re- tain her maiden name. Obviously 1t follows that a child of such parents could in the exercise of it's freedom, select the name either of it's father CT mothss. Thus tive sIstsrs might
