D., has made its bow to the public. The Inland Magazine says its purpose is policies, not politics. In hewing to the line, The Inland Magazine will have a difficult task when the Nonpartisan league makes it almost impossi- ble for red blood, real Americans like legionaires, to keep out of politics. Social unrest isn’t as dismaying as unsocial rest. A PITIFUL LEAGUE LIE One of the most pitiful, but constantly reiter- ated lies, used by the league to stave off defeat at the Novémber election, is the statement so fre- quently heard that the person who opposes the Nonpartisan league is an enemy of the farmers of North Dakota. Evidently the hundreds . of farmers who attended’the anti-Townley republi- can county convention all over the state last week are not only enemies of the thousands of farmers they represented at those conventions, but are their worst enemies as well. What incomprehen- sible logic! And yet as nearly logical as_ the league organs can possibly be. Saving daylight accomplishes no good unless you use it. CONGRATULATIONS It was with pleasure The Tribune congratulated The Carson Press and the Dickey County Leader on having passed another milestone. The Press, in its last issue, announces that. it is starting on its thirteenth year, while the Leader was estab- lished in 1882, In these days when a newspaper’s precarious existence is seriously threatened by the despicable Brinton newspaper grab law, re- cently upheld by two members of the supreme court; it’ is exceedingly delightful to be able to congratulate contemporaries on having birthdays. May they long prosper is the wish of The Tribune. About all Heinie saved out of the wreck wa: his disposition and his beer. " THE LITTLEST Po Happiness isn’t always found in large pack- ages. Take Goust, for instance. ' Goust, they say, is the smallest republic in the world. It is about a mile square and, at last re- ports, was sheltering about 190 persons. The little republic rests in the clouds, the word goes, on the top of a mountain by the Spanish border, near the edge of France, Things have run smoothly as long as the republic has been in- dependent, more than 250 years. Goust doesn’t bother her neighbors, and her neighbors’ do not bother Goust. Goustians are unenvied largely because so little is known of them. The 190 govern themselves happily and comfortably. Long life for Goust!. It is not necessary that one should return from the dead in order to convince us that there are no profiteers in heaven. THE TEASPOON Few people realize that danger lurks in the use today of the teaspoon. Size of teaspoons is not uniform in the United States. A collection at random of 10, will show almost that number of different sized spoons. : Prescriptions often call for substances contain- ing poisonous drugs. But does the prescription eall for the use, always, of a certain sized tea- spoon? No. It invariably reads: “Teaspoonful every three or what-not hours.” If a patient suffering, say, from a weak heart, takes a dose of his medicine in a teaspoon holding about 60 drops of the liquid, which is about the amount he should have, well and good. But what if he uses one of those cute, modern things? Then he doesn’t get all that heart should have. Or if he uses a spoon holding more than is good for him, he is just as bad off. GOOD READING All the thrill of historical romance may be found these days in your boy’s arithmetic book. In its pages flourish farmers who still sell pota- toes for 56 cents a bushel and grocers who offer eggs in any quantity for 24 cents a dozen. And as for sugar—why, just listen to this from the arithmetic book: “A grocer has 10 barrels of sugar, each contain- ing 140 pounds. If he sells the sugar for 6 cents a pound, how much will he have? In this good book dwell prosperous grocers who have bargain sales of butter at 24 cents a pound and loveable milkmen who stick to the old price of 8 cents a quart regardless of what milkmen outside the book have done. No wonder, therefore, that within its pages re- side happy families of six who can live on $39 a month, as in this problem: “The grocery and meat bill of a family of six amounts to $39 a month.‘ At that rate what would a family of four pay for meat and groceries per month? There is talk of revising school arithmetics so that their problems, written in good old days when sugar was 6 cents a pound, shall be more realistic. But no! no! Let there be no change! Never were arithmetic books such pleasant read- ing as now. They not only teach arithmetic, but also history, touching as they do upon those hap- py days when a market basket could be filled for a dollar. And if they should revise arithmetics in ac- cordance with the prices of today, who knows but what these prices will be hopelessly out of date tomorrow? EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinions of The Tribune. They are = sented here in order what our readers may have both sides of important issues which are being discussed im the press of the day. PROVING THEIR CASE For five or six weeks now representatives of the Nonpartisan league have had free use of from one to two columns of the space of the Independ- ent for setting forth an argument as to why the people of Pondera county should join the Nonpar- tisan league, or follow its political doctrine. It is not necessary to point out to the readers of the Independent how much real argument has been submitted. The space has been used up largely by a senseless tirade against an imagin- ary enemy of the people by A. G. Dillman, and a more clear, concise, logical, but withal imprac- tical and futile, argument and statements by our socialist friend, Buzzell. } Having a free hand, Dillman has stooped to the depths of mud-slinging and slander in his attempt to explain away the action of Townley and his league lieutenants in attempting to tie up the farming industry of Montana with its natural and avowed antagonist, the I. W. W. and organ- ized radical labor. He has conjured up from his perverted brain a bogey man that he sees stalk- ing the farmer and crying for his very life blood. This ‘bogey man, to Dillman’s mind, typifies ev- ery person, big or little, who does not see the present unsettled and. unsatisfactory. economic and political situation through Dillman’s colored glasses. He professes to believe that every per- son, and particularly a newspaper editor, who does not take a running jump and land on the Townley-Dunn band wagon is “owned” by the big interests, and takes his instructions from his “masters” higher up. Dillman seems to overlook the fact that a news- paper, particularly a country newspaper, can live only if it serves the interests of its constituency, and the constituency ‘of a newspaper like the In- dependent, published in a purely agricultural dis- trict, is very largely farmers. Any movement that was really beneficial to the farmer would of necessity have to be supported by the newspaper, if it expected long to live. : This newspaper is positive, in its own convic- tion, that the time will come, and now is, when a very large majority of the farmers of Pondera county ‘believe the Independent is correct. in its position that the Townley-Dunn political combi- nation is a menace to the state, and particularly to the farmers themselves.—Conrad (Mont.) In- dependent. OUIJA, ETC: Father Edwards. told his congregation in St. Joseph’s church last Sunday that Christianity has no place in its teachings for superstition, and he took a fling at the ouija board that deserves a little notice. There may be much amusement in dangling with fate on the ouija board, but when folks permit themselves to believe they are really conversing with the future they are not what one would call exceptionally logical. We have become convinced that whatever the unknown forces that move Quija’s three-legged stool over a piece of board, or that are behind the alleged manifestations of spiritism, those forces up to date have not been. conducive of adding to the happiness of those who follow these pas- times, : Of course, psychology is still treading on de- batable ground when it touches upon the possible existence of a world of living spirits that are ever hovering about us, and much might be said for and against the phenomena that is produced in seances or by mediums generally. Yet, we have known many spiritualists, and we have yet to see an instance where the alleged communication with a departed spirit has been conducive of happiness. It is thus the contention of many churchmen that since such an unhappy effect is produced by the mediums and in seances, and that many spir- itualists finally end their days in insane asylums, the forces behind the phenomena are evil ones and shouldgnot be tampered with by people who have no control over their own powers of will.—Devils Lake Journal. TUESDAY, MAY 11, 1920 I. V,. A.. MEMBERS AT MINOT ARE TRYING TO SIDETRACK LANGER; LANGLEY AND, KOFFEL IN PLOT : (Continued From Page One) there seems to be little disposition to oppose Congressman George M. Young and in the first ‘district Col. John Fraine is regarded as a possibility, although he is sense of the word. Besides him only one prominently mentioned not an active candidate in any Col. Creel of Devils Lake is the with the exception of course of Representative Burtness, who has already. stated that he is willing to be drafted for the contest to unseat Baer. OPPOSITION TO LANGER * Minot, May 11.—Langer opposition was on the field early and late. It seems more vociferous and vocal than | substantial. Monday evening at the ‘Leland: hotel, officials of the I. V. A. held an informal pow wow in a sam- ple room and those, who do not desire to see the convention stamped for Langer, gathered to lay plans to cir- cumvent his manager. L. H. Langley of Bismarck, denied a place on the Burleigh county dele- gation, is extremely active under the direction of Theo. Koffel, who also failed to land a seat in the conven- tion, Mr. Koffel and Mr. Langley took a leading part in the informal discus- sion. They both opposed Langer as a candidate declaring that his adher- ence to the original league program made his candidacy impossible. Langley Boosting Henry Before the meeting, Mr. Langley distributed some literature in behalf of Major Frank Henry’s candidacy for governor. Mr. Langley lately has en- tered the lists actively against Langer and has lined up with the I. V. A. group lead by Lewis Crawford of Sentinel Butte, Senator Iverson, Theo- dore Nelson of Fargo and J. T. Nelson of Glen Ullen. Langley is charged with having sent the letter to each of the delegates charging William ‘Langer with assisting his brother in evading the draft. This letter, however, was exploded recently by Langer in state- ments to the public press printed gen- erally Monday evening. Monday evening the I. V. A. together with a number of’ prominent Minot men, who still have resentment for didates will have the united ‘support of the anti-Townley forces. GOLDEN VALLEY COUNTY Beach, N. D.. May 11.—The adjourn- ed session of the anti-socialist county convention was held in Beach: last Saturday upon call of Chairman Christensen under direction of the first convention, Five delegates to the republican state convention to be held at Minot, May 12 and 13, were elected as follows: Louis Raisler, C. Li. Daw- son, George Christensen, J. A. Miller, W. F. Cushing. By an overwhelming vote the dele- gates decided to nominate county officers, and the following received the endorsement of the convention: Auditor, C. M. McCarthy; unanimous- ly; attorney, R. F. Gallagher, first choice; C. L. Dawson, second choice, unanimously; register of deeds, E. E. Noble, unanimously; clerk of court, F. E. Heath, unanimously; superin- tendent of schools, Miss Clara French, unanimously; coroner, H. L. Rice, un- animously; county judge, G. J. Oppe- gard, unanimously; treasurer, C. I. Cook, in a field of four, on the second; eq severely. from mustard: gas. ballot; sheriff, Kenneth Higgins of Golva, on the fifth ballot. BISMARCK_PARTY GJES. A large number of Bismarck men are at Minot today attending the anti. Townley convention. ‘The crowd which went on the ‘North Soo this morning was joined’ by men from Dickinson, Mandan and other Places in Bismarck territory. A large party made headquarters at | the ‘North 'Pacific hotel, leaving today, Langer over the raid-episode, and who| They included: also honestly’ differ with him over Alec McDonald, Glencoe; Peter economic issues, held.a conference for| Kretchmer. Venturia; George McKen the express purpose of seeing how far they should yield on the issue of so- clalism. Crawford Against ‘Langer (Mr. Crawford -stated that he was unqualifiedly opposed to the nomina- tion of William Langer and that he would prefer that the league tenure be undisturbed unless a man could be selected who was out and out against every phase of the league program. A. M. Thompson, Judge Palma, Judge Leighton, Staale Hendrickson, while not so out spoken, declared themselves to be heartily out of sym- pathy with the Langer boom. They declared that there was no issue in his campaign, merely a change in leaders and that his endorsement would be 4 bitter pill for many anti-leaguers to swallow. Langer Not Alarmed None of this opposition, however, alarmed Mr. Langer, who arrived here (Monday evening piloted overland by H. H. ‘Steele’ of*Minot. Mr. Langer was accompanied by assistant attorney general F. E. Packard and R. S. Wil- cox, Headquarters were opened at the Grand Hotel and Mr. Langer’s managers immediately claimed 250 delegates more than enough to nomi- nate on the first ballot. During the evening word was received from Un- derwood, where the MoLean delega- tion was selected, that almost a solid ‘Langer delegation would come from there to ‘Minot. Langer delegates will caucus Tues- day evening. Their choice for per- manent chairman of the convention seems to be Alfred Steele of James- town. Judge Knauf of Jamestown is here and an active worker for Langer. He announced that the eleven Stuts- man delegates were a unit for Lan- ger, The delegates will arrive in large numbers late today. T. T. Twichell, B. F. Spaulding and many of the Red River Valley workers were not on the ground Monday for the opening skir- nalshes, but came in early this morn- ing. Nestos Clean Fighter R. A. Nestos has an active organi- zation and is receiving the whole- hearted support of his locality. He is conducting a clean fight and states that if Langer is named that he wi work, for him. Steen and Crawford have expressed themselves as being so bitterly opposed to Langer that if the attorney’ general is nominated, it is doubtful whether they will lend much active support. It is generally hoped, however, that the differences will be ironed out as the convention gets down to business and that, when adjournment is. had, the winning can- Her First Biscuits ~ The Randalls were. newly-weds. More than that, they were strangers in a strange town, for Dick had just been sent to Cliyedale to be the local manager of the Hercules Automobile Company, “Well, Betty, how about some sup- er?” said Dick as he threw himself ina chair after a strenuous afternoon of unpacking, “I'm as hungry as the Russian army.” “I'm starved, too,” ‘sighed Betty, “but what shall I get?” “You know what I'd like?” said Dick reflectively—‘‘hot biscuits with lots of butter and- “Hot biscuits!” cried his wife—‘Oh, aks i wouldn’t dare—you'd never eat em.” “Sure I would,” retorted Dick. “You can make them. Everything's here— flour, milk, and don’t you_remember that can of Ryzon Baking Powder and the Ryzon Baking Book that Aunt Mary stuck in the box at the last min- ute? Why hesitate?” It took a little argument to convince Betty, but she finally agreed to try. Closely she followed the directions in the Ryzon Baking Book. And as she slid the pan into the oven she felt quite certain of success. “They can't help but be good,” she said to herself, “for Aunt Mary told me that if you use Ryzon and follow directions, your baking simply has to turn out right.’”’ = And the biscuits were good. Dick couldn't say enough in their favor and in praise of Betty’s cookery. And as Betty went out in the kitchen to re- plenish the plate she smiled happily. “Dear old Aunt Mary—for remem- bering to put the Ryzon in. the box.” The new Ryzon Baking Book (orig- inal price $1.00), containing 250 prac- tical recipes, will mailed, postpaid, upon receipt of 30, cents in stamps or coin.

SCHOOL FUND NOT COMING IN VERY FAST IS REPORT Collections by the state school and university fund this year are ap- proximately $1,000,000 below the nor- mal, according to notice that Miss Minnie J. Nielson, superintendent of public instruction, has given to coun-| ty superintendents. She says the in- formation was given to her by the state land commissioner. Poor crops in western North Da- kota and other conditions have op- erated to reduce fund payments that were due this year. According to the present outlook, ‘Miss ‘Nielson says, the board will have approximately a million dollars available next fall for investment in school bonds. At the present time the department js not able to make school bond investments.

Kuniewsky paid a call on the adjutant general’s office while here. Kuniewsky served in the second machine gun battalion of the first di- vision and participated in the battles of Catigny, Montdidier, Aisne Mar- ne, St. Mihiel,-Meuse Argonne and a number of other engagements. He was corporal in charge of a squad of sixteen men ordered to silence a machine gun nest holding up the American’s advance, All of the other men were killed in the attempt and he was struck several times with bullets. He owes his ecape to a trench mirror, scissors and a patent cigaret lighter which he carried over his heart. The scissors and the lighter were smashed and the mirror was deeply dented. Besides several wounds, he suffer- He has been twice recommended for a distinguished service cross, which the war department has promised to award him, and he has a glowing tribute from General John J. Persh- ing for his acts of bravery. ‘Kuniewsky has promised to deposit the three articles which saved his life in the state historical museum at the capitol. CANDIDATE MUST GET 5 PERCENT OF TOTAL VOTE To Avoid Any Misunderstanding Over Law Combined Ballot Should be B: et Due to the many conflicting state- ments printed in several papers in the state, Assistant Attorney General &. B. Cox today issued the follow- ing statement regarding the number of signatures needed on petitions of candidates seeking county and state offices: ‘ “The law originally provided that a candidate eded five percent of the total votes cast for the office for which the .candidade is aspiring at the last election on the party ticket on which the candidate intends to run. Inasmuch as ‘all piarty lines have been wiped out by later legis- lation, it is presumed that the law now requires the total votes cast for the office for which the candidate is running. “As an example, if a candidate for auditor received 500 votes in the last election and his opponent received 300 votes, the candidate this year, in order to_ be strictly within the wording of the law, should obtain five percent of the total vote cast. or 40 signatures. The law further provides that no more than 200 sig- natures for county candidates and 300 for state candidates are required.” It is pointed out that in some counties, where the vote for some particular candidate was very light. a strict interpretatidn of the law might work a hardship on the can- didates seeking office this year as no person can sign more than one peti- tion for a candidate for the same office.
