it ADVERTISEMENTS See the Difference BETWEEN THE NEW AND OTHER CREAM SEPARATORS OU can see the difference between a NEW DE_LAVAL and any other cream separator right away. And five minutes spent in comparing the bowl construction, the size, material and finish of all the working parts, the manner of ciling, the tinware and the {rames, will surely convince you of the superiority of De Laval construction and workmanship. = Then if you go a step farther and turn the cranks of the two machines side by side for fifteen minutes, running milk or water through the bowl, you will see still more difference. P And if you will run the two machines side by side in practical use, as any De Laval agent will be glad to have you do—the De Laval one day and the other machine the next—for a couple of weeks, you will see still greater difference in the work of the two machi There is-a De Laval agent near you who will be glad to explain all the improvements and advantages of the NEW De Laval, and who will set and start a machine for you on your farm and let you prove the difference for yourself.

Co. v 2 RN D ST AOTHER IMPARTIAL VIEW (Editorial in .the Crescent, official paper of Concordia Collegd, Moor- head, Minn.) = The work of the Nonpartisan League of North Dakota is the cause of much harsh criticism of the farmers of that state. Much fear has been expressed for the future of such a fool-hardy people. As the sons and daughters of North Dakota number little more' than half of our student body, it is not strange that this movement should be so warmly defended both on the campus and in the classroom. The movement is essentially a protest against existing conditions which, in many cases, could not well be worse than they are. We do not claim that the farmers are more efficient as legislators than bankers or that they are more honest. They will look to their own interests .as jealously as any other men. The point we make here is that the farmers have a right to object to taxation without repre- sentation. They have suffered them- selves to be ruled by self-styled philan- thropists, business men, bankers, etc. The legislators have abused their privileges and the inevitable revolu- tion has taken place. Much of the criticism centers about the organizers of the League. They are branded as adventurers. We can not ~here give their, life history; that any- one can look up, but we may consider their motives. Here, of course, we encounter differences of opinion, but may we not assume that Townley, him- self a farmer, is as much a champion of the farmers as the banker who lives on the interest of the money lent to the farmers? The fear, often expressed, that the destiny of a great state will be in the hands of ignorant and inexperienced men is entirely groundless, if we may believe half of what the great men of the nation have been saying about the wonderful intelligence of the farmer. Another objection is the payment of the nine dollars and the added promise to support the platform of the League. As this, however, causes no concern to the farmer it seems foolish for others to take it up. N No sane farmer will assert that North Dakota will become a land flow- ing with milk and honey, just because the tillers of the soil have taken things into their own hands. The main thing to consider is that a reform is needed. The fact that the affairs of the state may not run as smoothly as. desirable proves nothing against the principle of the movement. Nor is it necessarily an expression of class hatred that a class, comprising about three-fourths of a state's population, takes over the reins of government. WORM POWDERS Ayr, N.

Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I heartily agree with the article on page 12 of the Leader by Mr. C. H. Eiltr. I think the only way to save our chickens is to cut out the dog entirely. Also, in my community we need pro- tection for the wild ducks. They are very plenty here, but when the season opens the sports with their dogs, auto- matics and automobiles practically clean out the country here in two or three days. Besides, they do consider- able damage in other ways, such as shooting farmers’ horses- and cattle, letting down fences and leaving them and letting our stock out into our crop or our neighbor’'s crop. Right in this part we have had a lot of trouble in this way. I would like to see a law passed preventing any sport or hunter from hunting on any man's farm with- out a written permission.
