Turn now to North Dakota. The new
day has developed murky cold and
stormy. Last October the Nonpartisan
League state officials were recalled.
Men of business ability and standing
were elected. Certified and capable
public accountants were put on the
books of the many state industries.
The findings are shocking even to those
who have mt all times insisted Nonpart-
iSun Leagueism was nothing more or
less than socialism under II new name.
And even former Nonpartisan League
Readers who were honest in their pur-
pose are now denouncing those who
brought about such a deplorable state
Of affairs.
Failure, failure, failure on every
side. The state bank in an awful
mess with n final loss to the people
probably in excess of II million dollars.
The experimental flour mill Il direct
loss, and closed. The proposed large
mill and elevator representing an act
ual expenditure of over n million will
require more than another million to
complete, and its success then Il grave
question. The building and loan as
ISOLATION defunct and badly in debt.
The loss here will aggregate over a
half million. Few loans made to far
mcrs by the bank and those made only
to favored "Leaguers,' and interest
on most of these defaulted. The hail
insurance fund bankrupt. Hail losses
as far back rs 1919 not all paid.

bankers recently, owe Il million dollars

another financial failure.
But I'VE with all this, organizers
right now are busy in Wyoming and
other western states, not telling the
truth about what happened in North
Dakota, for the same men. the same
leaders, the same socialists who per-
sonally profited by the two years con
troll of the government of North Dako-
tn, would like to further personally
profit by similar control of Wyoming
and other states business men should
make it their business to learn the
facts and pass these fact to Others

she, they must be kept in their antique, eyer-new, pristine loneliness and
grandeur, even IS the long-working temperamentaL, poetic hand of God
devised and modelled them through the centuries for the delight and won
der of man, his child and lesser image.
OF course there are vast regions of earth to be tanned and cultivated
by private enterprise; filled with hocks and herds; harnessed to labor for
the supply of mans physical needs. And this also, if it be wisely done,
may produce a certain kind of beauty-the charm of wide, fertile fields
and well planned gardens. Towns and cities must also be built.
Yet man is an individual first of all; and Is an individual he has a
vital need of play and rest and fellowship with nature, quite as deep as
his necessity of common toll. If civilization should take that need out of
him, it might make him more produchve-but of what? He would be
no longer a human being, but a strange monster, part of a machine
bound to incessant, superhuous industry interrupted only by spasms of
the destructive madness which is called war. Against that fatal degen-

Beauty and Splendor of the Land Are
Priceless Heritage of People


After three weeks in Yellowstone park and the
region roundabout, | have got the great idea clearly,
practically, radically-root and trunk and all the
branches the beauty and splendor of the land are the
priceless heirlooms of the people who dwell in it. Like
all other heirlooms, they must be protected not only
from the greed and craft of robbers, but also from the
wasteful folly of spendthrift heirs. From generation
to generation they must be handed on, untarnished
by misuse, undiminished by reckless extravaganza, un-
spoiled by mistaken attempts at modern improvement

there is but little further delay IN
calling an election TO authorize bonds

within the very near future the com

being the only thing that stands in
the way of such action, so far as is

SPIRIT OF COOPERATION Is
REACHING FARM AND HOME

Cooperation is getting to be popu-
lar. Merchants agree to close their
doors together at a certain time.
Bankers combine and lend assistance
to needy and worthy individuals and
organizations. Different business
concerns are finding it to their advan-
tage-and to the advantage of the
general public-to work together.
Now, and some will say last of all,
come farmers and farm women, hav-
ing caught the spirit of helping
others" or 80 working that others
can work with you" Instances are
frequent where farmers are cooper
atively selling" farm supplies or pro-
ducts. And farm women, too, are
doing things together.
The great thing about it is the
spirit which accompanies the actual
transaction, altho too much cannot
be said for the material advantages,
But without that spirit, which makes
better citizens of the participants, |
the practice would not be so strongly
commended.
An instance of this cooperation
among farm women is found in the ,
report of Miss Gladys Smith, nutri- ,
tiOn specialist of the home demons |
tration extension work in Florida. in /
which she speaks of q visit to Lee /
county Quoting from her report: /
The womans council met on Oc- .
tober II. 1t was quite an inspira-
tion to see 50 many women sincerely
interested in community problems
and determined to lend their united
efforts toward working them out.
The fair committee if furnishing
standard containers to women who
will fill them for the Lee county ex-
hibit at the South Florida Fair The

booths at the county fair.

ans exchange for Fort Myers to en-
able its members to dispose of sur
plus products. This will supplement

ing the trucking season.-A gricul-

FRANK {. MASON Died IN
ILLINOIS SUNDAY, NOV. Il
Was Prominent and Progressive New
Citizen; Had Been III for
Some Time

! Frank +. Mason, a member of the
first school board Of Charlotte coun-
ty, died Sunday, at the home Of his
sister in Depue, Illinois. The sad
news was conveyed in a telegram
from the master of the Masonic lodge
at Depue, which was received Mon
day afternoon, by William E. Guth-
rie, secretary Of the Punta Corda
lodge, of which Mr.. Mason was a
member in good standing. Mr..
Guthrie, answering the message. re-
quested on behalf Of the local lodge
that the deceased be accorded due
Masonic honors at his funeral. Mon
day evening, officers Of the local
chapter Of the Eastern Star. of which
Mr.. Mason was an officer, met and
wired to Mrs. Mason the sincere SYM
rathy of the order, and also asked by
wire that the chapter at Depue pay
due honors to the deceased. Mr..
Mason came here from Spirit Lake,
Iowa, about five years ago, and soon
became highly esteemed as a citizen,
as he took a foremost part in all
activities looking to the good OF the
community. As a loyal member of
the Methodist church, his example
and influence were distinctly felt.
On the organization of the county,
he was appointed a member of the
school board, in which position he
rendered faithful and efficient serv-
ice until failing health disabled him.
His health began declining early in
this year; and, in the hope OF it's
FORMER home at Spirit Lake, Iowa.
But neither change of climate nor
the skill Of the best physicians avail
ed 10 stay the progress Of the malady
2flcting him, and he continued to
decline until the end came on sun
day No details of his life previous
TO his coming here are available at
this writing, but his brief career here
was sufficient to convince every one
that his previous life had been ex-
emplary in all respects He was ap-
parentIy a little over sixty years old.
Besides his devoted wife. who was
constantly at his side until he passed
away, he leaves kindred. but no
children, to mourn his loss. Names
OF his surviving kin are unknown to
this writer. His bereavCd widow has
the heartfelt sympathy of host OF
friends in this locality as well as
elsewhere. Mr.. Mason was the own

ALIENS BEING SMUGGLED
IN VIA THE WEST COAST
Lee County Sheriff Captures Ten
Spaniar'ls from Cuba Landed
at Naples

That there is q we'll defined plan
to smuggle into the United States,
on wholesale scale, aliens barred
! by the Federal immigration laws by
way of Cuba and the west coast is
the conviction of federal authorities.
| Within the last few weeks perhaps
half a hundred Greeks and Spaniards
and several Cinnamon unable to en-
ter the United States legally have
been landed in Lee county from
Cuba. and it is believed more are on
the way.
Early last Saturday morning 4
two-masted auxiliary schooner that
left Havana Thursday night with 20
Spanish immigrants on board, stop
ped off Naples and landed its passen-
gers, each of whom, it was learned.
paid the master of the vessel 500
to be smuggled into the United
States.
Ten of the 20 Spaniards were
rounded up by Sheriff Tippins of Lee
county and put in Jail until an i'm
migration inspector from Tampa ar
rived, took them in custody and re-
turned with them to Tampa.
Immigrat ton is restricted by limit
ing the number who are allowed to
land in this country during one year
10 five percent of the number of ma
tionals of other countries already
here. A number of countries have
already exceeded their quota for this
year, and people of these countries
who want to come to the United
States must wait until next year or
come in secretely as the Spaniards
were attempting TO do. They will
be deported.

asked the collector. Why" answer

cash in the bank and | don't see IN
any of these receipts where I've paid
taxes on it," A by-stander caught
Collector Dewey to keep him from

restorative which gave him strength
enough to enable him 10 say to the
taxpayer, My friend. you are the
only man in the state who thinks he
ought to pay taxes on cash in bank,
and it is now too late to change the
universal custom Go home and
sleep the sleep of the righteous, TO
which you are justly entitled" The
name of this honest man is not Civ

him that 81 10000.
