proximately 100000 of the 100000
railroad shopnen who went on strike
July 1st against the reduced wages or
dered by the United otates Railroad
Labor Board are still on strike, it was
revealed today by the International
Association of Machinists Headquar-
ters here. Peace has been signed by
only 100 roads, less than one half of
the country's mileage. Harry Bron-
son, assistant to the President of the
Machinists, one of the crafts in the
strike, declared that within two
months most of the roads will be fore
ed into line. 'Many of the lines are
wavering due to their inability to
meet the steadily increasing demands
from the agricultural and mining COM
munities,' he said.

FARMERS TO GET
ALL HAIL LOSSES

According to statements made today
by Governor R. A. Nestos, the farm
ers suffering hail loshes this year will
be able to get their insurance money
with practically no delay. The Indus
trial Commission has already taken
steps to insure this, and it is hoped
that arrangements will be completed
so that the farmers can get their
money as soon as warrants are issued.
The governor said:
II am pleased to find that the State
hail losses for this year are not as
large as those for 1921.
"Last year when we succeeded in
closing contract for the purchase of
the 1921 Hail Warrants at saving to
the farmers Of more tha ma million
dollars from the large discounts asked
before, we had the legal status of
these warrants and the powers of the
Industrial Commission in regard to
them, establish in a lawsuit testing
the law and our contract.
"By this step we paved the way for
the favorable handling of these war
ants for 1922, and we have already
commenced negotiations for the pur-
pose of securing a still more advanta-
geous deal for the farmers this fall
and we expect to be able to close the
deal so early that those who have lost
their crops by hail may recover their
money on or about December l, 1922,
the date on which the warrants are
issued.'

connected with the state government.
They cannot and will not tell the
truth, and we think when the votes
are counted on November 7th they
will be just as far off on who is to
be elected from the Fifteenth leg
islative district Of Barnes county as
they are on every other issue they
tackle. The only truth contained in
the article of the C.-N. is where it
says Mr.. Rasmussen is a good man
and citizen, and we are cordially en-
dOrSing all the statements made about
him-but the other men are just as
good citizens as he, have good fami-
lies, and speaking of ourself as a can
didate nominated at the primaries, we
have served our community in the past
in many capacities, we trust with
credit, have kept out of Jail, have
robbed no one, lived honestly, been
law abiding citizen, go to church, have
never licked our wife - oh, pshaw,
what does all this bunk amount to-
the question is Rasmussen is a leag-
uer and if elected will vote with that
party to continue the policies for
which the independents are fighting
to wipe out. Trubshaw is an indie
pendent, has fought against socialism
for the past six years, and if elect
ed will work with the independents
for reduction Of taxes, cutting out
of useless commissions and bureaus,
a sane and safe business administra-
tion with a square deal for all. Take
your choice-RaSmusse and league
legislature, Trubshaw and an indepen-
dent legislature. That's all there is
to it, If Mr.. Rasmussen is NOT good
citizen, if Trubshaw is NOT a good
citizen, if Chas. Otto is NOT a good
citizen, then all three of them ought to
be in Jail instead of running for the
Legislature.

URGES ESTABLISHMENT
OF KISS CLINICS

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 24-Establishing
of kiss clinics for the marriageable
girls of America was urged by Irene
Bordenia, Partisan stage beauty. Miss
Bordenia declared that the women of
America do not kiss properly and that
is the reason for so many divorces.
She also declared that the marriage
VOW is becoming a farce in this coun-
try. "They kiss with their lips and
not with their SOULS" she declared. eff
the wives Of America would kiss with
their souls they would keep any man
at home," she declared.
