TO RECALL GOV. NESTOS

The Fargo Courier-News, official
organ of the nonpartisan league,
prints an editorial in Saturdays
paper, advocating the recall of Gov
ernor Nestos. The Courier-News ad-
aaits that it will be impossible to re-
call Nestos before he begins his Sec
ond term. Now, isn't it too bad that
one has to wait so long. The law
ought to be changed. Is it possible
that Lemke hasn't gotten his fill vet?

mittee to file charges against Pierce
Butler, St. Paul attorney, who has
been nominated for associate justice

HOW ABOUT CANDY

Herr Is q query revolving in the minds of the

does the price Of candy still hang cnsat war time

ing price and wholesalers and retailers
should recognize tn feact that the time
for gouging the public is past When sugar was 2t
to 80 cents the. pound there was no expectation on
the part Of the people for cheap candies. Those who
were able paid the price asked and the rest went
without. Now. Kowyer, there should &c a change.
1t Is hardly likely that sugar will, remain 50 cheap,
probably 8 or Z cents will be mora nearly the
established price, although the public can buy all
the sugar. 1t likes in eastern cities at 43s cents at
