FROD COMMERCIAL
CLUB ORGANIZED

Froid T1ibune-Froid was fairly
we'll represented by its business men
at a meeting held Monday evening to
take the first steps towards the or
oanization of a Commercial Club.
After some consideration 1t was de-
cided that such Cub would be a
boon to the town and community and
those assembled proceeded to crga-
nize. J. w. Schnitzler was elected
president and j. E. Peterson secre-
tary and treasurer.
The name finally chosen for the or
ganization is "The Commercial Cub
of Froid and Community" AS the
names implies the Club is not merely
for the good of Froid alone but is to
include all surrounding territory as
well. All the farmers about FrOid are
invited to take part in the Organiza-
ton and become members. Another
meeting has been called for Wednes-
day night Of next week at the jail
building to get things lined up fer ac-
tive plans to be carried out In the
near furture. All the people of the
town and vicinity are especially urged
and invited to take part IN this meet
ing.
The object of the Club is the i'm
provement Of roads and streets, anC
general community betterment. The
field for such work is wide in any To-
cality and a Club Of this kind can be-
a splendid factor in the welfare Of
our home town and the country sur
rounding it.
Let every loyal citizen get behint
the movement and boost.

LET THE EDITOR
ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS

A subscriber wrote an editor as
follows: Mister Editor:-You think
you have an answer for everything.
answer these trifing questions and
oblige me: How long is a piece of
string? How much does a piece of
ice weigh? Why do they call it a
new moon when it is the same moon Z?
Why do women not have boards 9?
What makes water wet? Answer
quick Louie.
And the editor replied to each as
follows: Twice the distance from the
middle to one end. Half as much as
the ice man charges you for. Be
cause babies are born every month
who never saw it before. Mother
Nature knew they couldn't keep their
chins still long enough to shave. Two
parts hydrogen and one part water.

no REASON TO DOUBT
SINCERITY

There is no mere reason why sin
cere supporters of a National Farm
er-Labor party should doubt the
Communists than they should qUes-
ton the sincerity Of Senator LaFol-
cite. For many years he has main
tanned formal affiliations with the
Republican party, the most infamous
political machine ever in control of
the American government.
For the same reason that Senator
La Toilette feels that the time has
come for all right-thinI1ing people to
JON IN a common cause to break the
shackles imposed on the people bv
plutOcracy, it is reasonable to give
the sO-called Communists credit fer
as much honesty and sincerity as
Senator La Toilette claims for him
self by giving the Communists an OBJ
portunity to unite their forces with
other prOgressives in the first great
national battle for freedom.

THE DOLLAR ALARM
CLOCK
(Air, "Old Oaken Bucket'')

How dear to my heart are those
chimes in the morning,
That yank me from bed with
melOdiOus thrill;
How sweet is the sound of the regular
warning,
That yells that it's time that l hike
to the mill.
Without it I'd sleep till the sun had
arisen,
Be late to the job that my boss
let's me use;
Get canned, perhaps steal, maybe land
in the prison,
If the chimes didn't hustle me cut
of my snOOZe.
Chorus:
The faithful alarm clock,
The rafting alarm clock;
The dollar alarm clock
That rests on my shelf.
II
What a blessing it was when the
thing was invented;
1t beats the slave driver that came
with his stick.
1t rests on the shelf in the shack that
| rented
It never gets hungry, it never gets
sick.
If overly weary, I take a tin bucket
And place the alarm clock down
into the thing,
When it chimes in the morning it
doubles the racket,
It would wake up the dead when
the two of them ring.
Sometimes the good woman gets
worn cut and weary,
And says we are hauling too much
of a load.
| tell her the journey would look still
more dreary
If the dollar alarm clock would fail
to explode.
Then here's to my booster that only
needs winding,
And here's to the victim that Just
keeps alive.
The boss gets the money and do the
grinding;
The clock starts the circus at
quarter past five.
RALPH ROSSELL.

NOT A ONE-MAN
MOVEMENT

As expressed in the beginning of
this statement the National Farmer
Labor-PrOgressive convention is not
q La Toilette, or a one-man move
ment. 1t has come into existence in
response to the call of millions Of
voters whose experience under the
lash Of special privilege have driven
them to seek relief through independ-
ent political action. 1t cannot be di-
verified or destroyed by anything Sen
atOr La Toilette may do or say. The
need fer it continues to exist and
there is no alternative but for it to
proceed.

PROTEST
ON IMMIGRATION
GIVEN TO HUGHES
ORIENTAL GOVERNMENT BE-
LIEVED TO HAVE ASKED u. S.
TO USE ALL MEANS TO PRE-
VENT ANY DISCRIMINATION.

Washington, May 31.-Ambassador
Hanihara, acting on instructions from
his government, delivered to Secre-
tary Hughes today the protest made
by Toxic against the exclusion pro-
vision of the new immigration act.
The ambassador called at the state
department shortly before noon and
was received at once by Secretary
Hughes. Neither he nor the secre-
tary, it was said, wcJ;ld have any
statement to make.
The protest was later made public
by the state department without COM
ment.
Coupled with the protest is the re-
quest of the Japanese government
that the American government "take
all possible and suitable measures"
for the removal Of the "discEimina-
ton"

STATEMENT SHOULD BE
SIGNAL FOR STILL
GREATER EFFORT

Senator La Follette's statement
should be a signal to all members of
the Farmer-Labor movement to come
to the June 18th convention and de-
mOnstrate their ability to manage
their own affairs in building a great
national movement in the same man
ner as they have already built their
state movements.

DAUGHTER is BORN TO
WELL KNOWN MOVIE ACTOR

Los Angeles, May 28.-Harold
Lloyd, motion picture comedian and
husband of Mildred Davis, also known
to the screen, wore a worried look
as he paced up and down the corridor
of a hospital here yesterday. His
accustomed optimistic expression re-
turned however, when the doctor
foun dhim and announced that it was

$4,000 INVITATIONS
SENT OUT

Fifty thousand invitations have
been sent out and thousands of re-
sponses from Farmer-Labor and pro-
gressive political organizations have
been received, filled with eagerness
and enthusiasm. The responses are
manifestations of loyalty to a great
principle and not tc. any great man.
In justice to a great cause the June
18th convention must be held.

dent on any ticket; and that even a
third party ticket is contingent on
what the old parties may do. The
concluding part of his letter is ex-
ceedingly vague and certainly cannot
satisfy the aspirations to the mil
lions Of men and women of this ma
ton who are willing to break their
affiliations with the corrupt old par
ties and join in the launching a clean
independent movement which will
stand for the interests of the common
people.

A DAY OF

In the first place It would be a
betrayal Of confidence to disappoint
the vast numbers who have been look
ing forward to June 18th as the day
of emancipation. 1t has not been
looked upon as La Toilette day, but
a day Of independence for those who

UNFAIR AND
UNJUST COUNSEL

On the face of his statement there
is manifest certainty that it is not
he result Of original investigation and
calm deduction 1t is obviously the
unfortunate decision that comes from
unfair and unjust counsel.
No direct inquiries have come to
the local committee of arrangement
regarding the nature of the June 18th
convention. Mr.. LaFOllette or his
representatives have made no in
Quiries and his attitude as expressed
in his statement must have been
reached from adverse, ex-parte re-
ports.

LETTER SUBORDINATES
ISSUES

Senator La Fcllette's letter subor-
dinates the tremendous issues of res
cuing the government from pluto
cratic control, and the necessity for
all honest progressive voters uniting
in this crisis by engaging in petty
facti0nal contention.

COMMUNISTS FAVOR
PRACTICAL MEASURES

The Communists" make no secret
Of their aims and frankly outline their
method of procedure. They signify
in their published statements that the
program of the Farmer-Labor party
represents the next step in progress

viii cooperate in promoting every
practical measure that will advance
the interests of the wealth-producing
classes.

COMMUNIST
BUGABOO

In the second place, the charge that
the COMMUNISTS will dominate the
convention is a gross misrepresenta-
ton. Every effort has been made to
secure delegates from every group
coming within the terms of the call
and Senator La Toilette and his adj
Visors must know that the Commu-
nists constitute only a very small
fraction Of those who are interested
in a National Farmer-LabOr party.
