It has defeated two of Townley’s con- gressional candidates, John Baer and Thomas Pendray. Congressman Baer was Townley’s star congressman. His hands and his-mouth worked overtime to spread the doctrine of class hatred. Sitting in congress he drew pictures that assailed * the motives of everyone who disagreed with him. Generally ‘speaking, he gave the impression that Townley and the Nonpartisan league had a cor- ner on all the honesty and virtue to be found in public life. He overplayed his soviet cartoons and talked himself out of the respect of the first district voters. Burtness of Grand Forks will succeed Baer. His sterling Americanism fits him to represent the people of the Red River valley who gave Townley a sound beating at the recent primaries. Congressman Young wins easily over Senator Pendray, one of Townley’s wheel horses in the state senate. Young refused to wear the league collar and knuckle down on every issue. His in- dependence has been rewarded. So much for the national ticket. The league has lost heavily in North Dakota. Thomas Hall, the veteran secretary of state, has been nominated by a:fine majority: in view of the vigorous contest waged against him because he refused to play the game as Townley directed. John Steen and John Williams are‘also winners for state ‘treasurer ‘and railroad commissioner. Miss Minnie Neilson and Justice Christianson, en- dorsed. by the Minot convention led their oppon- ents on the Townley slate. i But the most significant feature of the primary is the way the votera snowed under Mr. Townley’s program’ bills. It was ‘here that) the Anti-Town- ley Republicans and Democrats made their com- bined strength felt. ‘Townley could not make his 10,000 or 12,000 socialist votes as effective in this instance as he did in the Republican primaries. No greater incentive is necessary for the, inde- pendent voters of the state to get together than this. i North Dakota voters. indicated emphatically in the vote on the three referred measures that they do not want Townley’s program of state socialism. These measures were the most obnoxious ever submitted to a free people. They might grace a soviet ballot in red Russia, but the voters of North Dakota have repudiated the bolshevism as reflected in the absent voters law, the state sher- iff and the “smelling” commission act. OSTRICH EGGS POACHED Walter Gallichan, diet expert, has been experi- menting with ostrich eggs in London, obtaining his supply fresh from the zoological gardens. He finds the flavor almost exactly like that of hen eggs. : They are excellent in omelet, with the great advantage that a single ortrich egg makes an omelet large enough to serve a party of 30. ite He says he likes ostrich eggs poached for breakfast. That seems to call for. an explana- tion. One imagines that an osttich egg poached whole would be a yard wide. Where would one get a piece of toast large enough to hold it? Ostriches are bred in the United States. But there is no record of anyone keeping them, like chickens, for their eggs. Still, it’s worth con- sidering. A family with an ostrich laying regu- larly would be independent of the grocer and his high-priced but doubtful hen eggs labeled “strict- ly fresh.” aye A family with an ostrich might find it other- wise useful. They’ might train it to hang out the clothes on the line in the back yard on wash day. Of course, it-would be necessary to take some pre- caution to keep the ostrich from swallowing the * clothes pins, line and all. The proposal to keep laying ostriches has a point of interest for suburban gardeners. \ If a gardener is vexed when a neighbor’s hens invade his garden, what would he-say if a flock of os- triches hopped over the fence and began to sctatch about in it? A large-bore pistol is carried by’a small-bore man. : Opportunity never knocks at the door of. a knocker. 4 Having urged the brethren not to reform Con- gress, Marshall should also warn them not to sweep back the sea. ~* Cénadd 4vints a close affiliation between war veterans of that and this country....Now what has BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE Hearst of America, and Bottomly of Britain,to say? z Take care of the pennies and the tax will take care of itself. Inflated prices must choose between a slow leak and a blowout. Obregon can’t do much until he gets rid of Villa and Fall. Still, you might call McAdoo’s campaign sap- ping operations. , : Things might be worse. Think of Noah’s time, when water was high. Now tell us how much the candidates for the vice-presidency have spent. It’s a safe bet that if San Francisco was a lit- tle wet, it is bone dry now. Judging from the quietness in Mexico, Berg- doll must be there with some hush money.

OLD COMPANY FLOURISHES The Hudson Bay company began its work in Canada 250 years ago, when it had the entire field at its disposal. It, may surprise the public to know that the encroachment of civilization has not reduced the number. of branches maintained by this organization. It has 155 fur posts thru- out Canada, the largest number in its history, and it is preparing to extend its operations during the coming year. new posts far in the north, by building and op- erating boats, and by cultivating the field of gen- eral commerce in the well settled portions of the country. The high price of fur has led to the in- tensive cultivation of the industry. Canada is expected to furnish a permanent supply of pelts, not only from its ungettled northern districts but from the fur farms which are being established here and there throughout the dominion.—Lin- coln Journal. . ' THE SOLE ACCOMPLISHMENT ‘Lynn J. Frazier has again received the nomi- nation’ for ‘governor of North Dakota and Dr. Ladd, the Townley candidate, apparently has de- feated A. J. Gronna, the incumbent, for the sen- atorial nomination. On the strength of these os- tensible. victgries, long and loud blares will be heard from the Townley trumpet—such blares, indeed, as will be needed to attract the attention of the public from the leaks :that have been sprung in the Townley ship of state. The reduction.of the-Frazier majority from 17,000 twoyears'ago to about 6,000 this ‘year may be’the token of a. thriving young political insurgency, but there are those who will detect signs of stalenessin the quality of the victory. The defeat of Congressnian John M. Baer, the man who is so adept in sketching the silk hats of Big Biz in the league publications,.may be the infallible sign of a rising and spreading tide of political revolution, but we confess a failure to see it. The defeat of the Nonpartisan league can- didate in the second of North Dakota’s three con- gressional districts by George Young, incumbent, is another somewhat questionable indication of the advance of the Townley crusade. And then there is the defeat of the league candidate by Thomas Hall, the indorsed republican choice for secretary of state. Add to these results the al- most complete Townley defeat in Minnesota and wé have a fairly eomprehensive picture of ,the way the business of farming the farmer is thriv- ing. It is readily seen that if the towns and cities of North Dakota were ever enticed by the promises of the league leaders they have now been com- pletely disillusioned. And that brings up for con- sideration the whole accomplishment of the league movement. It has successfully created a dangerous and feudal feeling between town and country. It has drawn its sole and now ebbing life blood from a cultivated hatred and suspicion: between elements of the state which are mutually interdependent and upon whose co-operation’ leans the prosperity of both. It is an ominous condition which obtains when those who watch for election returns are obliged to discount or totally disregard the town and city vote until it shall be shown just what is the ex- tent of the electoral conflict with the farmer. This is what Townley, regardless of the verdict of the ballots, has accomplished, temporarily, we hope, in these two northwest states. That the damage is not permanent there is reason to believe on the strength of the defection which already has set in and’ is most plainly shown in the reduced ma- jority of the Townley candidates in North Dakota. This defection will easily become a landslide when the farmers who are paying the taxes: of the Townley government in North Dakota fully awaken to the fact that they have been sold. To change their allegiance after so fully committing themselves to what they believed a healthy and honest political ‘insurgency must, of course; come hard to the great mass of farmers who have en- listed un@er the league banner. But the change will come, and before it comes the carpetbaggers at Bismarck will do,well to anticipate it with a safe margin in train schedule@—St. Paul patch, SLY) Wy WZ Y, i ut!

Townley! and his cohorts. The tuynover ‘ot thousands of farmers, the defeat’ of the league candidates and league measures in many instances are sig- nificant of the trend toward stable government which will administer jus- tice for all, in their opinion. No longer is the Nonpartisan league entitled to call itself a farmers’ or- anization, many of these editors de- clare, because farmer candidates were elected on the anti-Townley ticket and because thousands of farmers voted against the league. ‘The League Vote. ‘The Grdnd -Forks Herald points to the decrease in the Frazier majority, refuting the claim of league papers that the league has gained over two years ago. The Herald says: “In the number of votes received at the primary of last week, as compared with the results of the primary of two years ago, the advantage is all with the independents. Taking as a test case the vote on governor, around which the campaign was fought, we find that while the Townley candi- date_ this year received some 5,000 votes more than hq received in 1918 the independent candidate gained 17, 000 votes over the: independent candi- date of two years ago, the-Townley ma- jority being cut down some ‘11,000 or 12,000 votes. In several cases majori ties for independent candidates have been substituted this year for major- ities for League candidates two years ago.” : William Langer’s excellent race is complimented by the Aneta Panoramo in the following words: “Langer made a splendid run and his work in the state during the campaign has been fully appreciated by the peo- ple. Frazier's lead over Langer is very | small.” Loses Home Precinct. The Napoleon Homestead sees sig- nificance in, the fact that Dr. BE. F. Ladd lost his home precinct. It says: “Professor Ladd’s own precinct went against him: ‘his own ward went against him; his own city went against him. On the other hand Gronna car- ried his héme town by a vote of 153 to 40; better than three té one. Quite significant.” p The Valley City Times Record sees a silver lining in the result. It says: “We haven’t done so bad in this pri- Mary election after all. The inde- pendents haye. nominated two con- gressmen out of three, a secretary of state, state treasurer, one. railroad commissioner and Miss Nielson has about ninée’thousand votes to the good: in the race for superintendent of pub- lic instruction and Judge Christianson has about one thousand majority over Richardson. for judge of the supreme court. When you come to look it over. it is_a split-victory for both sides. In the senatorial fight had Frank White remained out of the race for senator Gronna would have been renominated,! so that Ladd is"a minority candidate safter all.” The Referred Measures. The Golden Valley American speaks of the vote on the referred measures as follows: ee “The voters.of North Dakota, by majorities ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 decreed that-they didn’t want.a smell- ing committee; that they did not want a lot of organizers visiting their wom- en folks .on the.farms and marking their ballots, and further they didn’t want to give Governor Frazier the au- tocratic power that lurked behind the state sheriff bill.” Backbone Broken. Thé Carson Press says: “The anti-Townley forces of the state have much to rejoice over from the results of the primary election. The backbone of Townleyism and So- .cialism in this state has broken pand is on the toboggan‘lid One of the most serious blows that was sustained by Townley, in the » opinion of many political observers, is the defeat in the primary of. many of his. wheel horses in the logislature, and the smelling ‘committee. The Linton Record sa ‘ “This is one elgction,the results of which will not tend to make either side .overly hilarious. ‘The . staté ticket is split. Frazier’s majority) of two years ago has; been ‘wiped’ gut! Dozens. of. leagtie ilegislative® war- horses have been défeatéd. It is con- sidered probable that the Townley ma: chine will be unable to control the house. The socialist leaders. of the league must certainly ‘see the hand- writing on the wall.” Knifing Dupuis. ‘What was the cause of the low vote of C. F. Dupuis, present chairman: of the railroad commission? The Devils Lake Journal says: “The elimination ‘of Charles FE. Du- puis, a league member of the state railroad commission, through the. fact that he probably has been severely knifed. by the leaguers at the instance of the league leaders whose displeas- ure Dupuis incurred. recently is sured:” -He is sixth man in the race now, and the missing precincts will not bring him into the ‘running. returns today from Mountrail county, which are the only ones addedto yes- terday’s figures, are significant of the fact that Dupuis was marked fort the slaughter bv the league crowd. In Mountrail, McDonnell, leaguer, receiv- ed 1,488, while Dupuis liad 1,369. That ratio has been maintained consistent- ly throughout the state.” ..The Fargo Forum Says: - ® results ofthe recent primaries that as) majority of North Da- EVERETT TRUE — AND Wivay “To THS CEG (TURGS He Done!

The Beach Advance sees .in the pri- mary result a stinging rebuke by Non- pattisans to the big bosses of the league. The defeat of Cahill, the pas- sage of the anti-red flag law and de- feat of the referred measure is point- ed to. The paper says: “The successful initiation of ‘the -red flag law, after the league lead- had successfully defeated all ef- forts to pass such a-measure‘in the legislature, is ‘a resounding rebuke to Lemke and those who controlled the last legislature, and. the defeat. of. the state sheriff, the absent voter's and smelling committee laws shout aloud a outrage on personal rights, the unre- stricted choice of sheriffs, and the se crecy ‘of the ballot. “The conservative element of the an League has said to their ‘So far shalt thou go, but no | farther.’” The Kenmare News says it is very significant that thousands of farmers tarned against the league bosses, and that no longer is the division between yns and the people of the It foresees a new line-up of the farmers and townspeople against the radicals of both, town and country.

The growers of food down there have found a way of marketing their products that ‘they wouldn't exchange for the old | competitive system. It is cooperative | marketing, done they succeeded, where many others have failed, at least on their first at- tempt. The M ssippi. secret is that of | standardizing their products and, in- stead of each man trying to keep track of his own, their products are all lumped together, -They use a system of grading that enables each farmer to get what is‘coming to him when the commodities are sold and there is no dispute as to which furnished the best hogs or chickens or eggs. ‘ In the shipment of hogs, ownership of the animals loses identity, and the owner receives a slip showing what proportion of the receipts he-will be entitled to. For marketing miscellaneous prod- ucts the commodities that the farmers have in small quantities are assembled in a rented warehouse or vacant store located at a point convenient to the railroad. Corn is shelled before shipping, if possible, as shelled corn can be graded with greater accuracy; it can he stored if the market is low, and it can be hauled to town ‘when roads are good and at a convenient time. Ear corn is loaded direct from the farmers’ wagons into the car. A weigh- er examines the corn at the scales for color, quality and maturity. Cow peas are closcly inspected at the warehouse as to variety, sound- ness, and freedom from dirt and trash. The farmers learned that graded peas command premium pr:ces. The marketing of potatoes is begun in the field. Poor potatoes are run over the grader at the warehouse, sep- arated into standard grades, and sack- ad in new 100-pound bags. , Ventilated or stock cars are used th ship the potatoes. Poultry .is carefully classified and shipped in regular express cars made for the purpose. The poultry is sold for cash at the loading station. A certain day is-set apart for the shipment of eggs. Nothing but candled eggs are accepted, which has caused the farmers to use better methods of gathering, storing, and carrying the eggs to town. The associated farmers are im- mensely pleased with their accom- plishments. It has meant more money to them, andbecause of the quality of their products: secured through proper grading, packing, and shipping, the buyers -have every confidence in the farmgrs, ‘a necessary factor in any acticn bétween seller and pur. ? HEALTH ADVICE | > % MUSCULAR RHEUMATISM. In this disease. the muscles most efequently ‘affected are those of the back (lumbago), side of neck (stiff neck or wry neck), and side of chest “(pleurodynia). Exposure to cold, sud- Jen cooling of the body— ecially af- ‘er active exercise and sitting in a draft of air—are the chief causes or axciting causes, As a rule there are no symptoms other than thé stiffness and pain on notion. The muscles may be slightly swollen and yery* sensitive. Some. times the attacks ‘come on suddenly ind apparently without cause, or fol- ‘owing a slight twist or strain, as a “kink in the back,” or patient may ke up in the morning with a stiff neck. Apply hot applications, dry heat, hot- water bag. or hot’ poultice locally, or the heat may be applied by a flatiron over ‘folds of flannel or a piece of blanket and the rheumatism “ironed ‘out.” Later apply liniment with fric- ion (massage). © Keep the affected muscles at rest.“ If the muscles of the chest are “affected, apply strips of adhesive plaster, the same as for fractured“rib. Acute attacks are of short duration, but relapses: are not uncommon, and chronic forms are fre- quently met with.
