THREE VETERINARY DEMON.
STRATIONS HELD IN COUNTY

Three veterinary demonstrations
were conducted in the county last
week by County Agent A. L. Norling
with the assistance of DIR. Mcmahon
of the Agricultural College,. One
demonstration each was held on the
farms Of Henry Sheldon, Washburn; !;
Carl w. Carlson, Coal Harbor, and
George Carr, Turtle Lake.
y The meetings were held right out
on the farm SO that horses and cattle
could be used In demonstrating sim
pie and fundamental things that ev-
cry stock man should know, such as
giving medicine. what to give, differ
ence between giving medicine to horse
and cow, treating bloat, how two men
can raise horse that Is down, hand
ling bot flies, curing sore shoulders,
ETC. DR.. Mcmahon said that much of
the loss in livestock could be avoided
If the stockmen were we'll posted on
few commensense remedies. He
said that the worst thing for a veter-
marian to handle is an animal which
has been given the wrong thing.
Much interest was shown in these
demonstrations and Mr.. Norling has
been requested by many Of the farm
ers to plan for more meetings of this
kind in the future.

NEST0S EXPLAINS
N. P. DEFEAT
LEADERS NEVER TRIED TO SERVE
!, HONESTLY, NORTH DAKOTA
I'D; GOVERNOR TELLS CHI
{ CAGO BUSINESSMEN

Chicago - How the Nonpartisan
league of North Dakota was defeated
and why, was told to the members OF
the Association Of Commerce at a
luncheon meeting by Governor R. A.
Nestos. Governor Nestos last fall won
the first statewide recall election in
the United States over Governor l.. J.
Frazier, the NOnpartisan governor.
During the last five years." Cover
nor Nestos said, II believe I may say
without seeming presumptuous, that
your people have in measure lost
confidence IN the state of North Da-
kota and in its political and economi-
ic development A great deal ef your
apprehension and lack Of confidence
has been warranted.">
Governor Nestos then told how, the
men who organized the league set out
to obtain control of the political ma
chinery of the state with its patronage
and financial awards, in order to teach
for public consumption the doctrines
and philosophy Of socialism. Then, he
said, they set about nationwide pro-
paganda making "bold claims as to the
radical and complete cha nges they
were putting into effect in North Da-
kota, far beyond what the actual facts
justified" -.r
"The history of the last few years
will show that at no time was there
any desire or real intention by the
league leaders to serve the people of
the state honestly and WE'LL" said
Governor Nestos. 1T will show that
the main desire of the leaders of the
league and of most of the office hold
ers was to serve themselves only and
their political organization in the hope
that means of the positions, the pow
er and the public and funds, they
would be able to perpetuate their or
ganizations and retain. their hold on
the public purse and public office.
"The inevitable result was that there
was waste and mismanagement in
practically every department of the
public SERVICE"
