THOMAS HALL, (SEAL) Secretary of State. IT DIDN'T “STAND THE TEST” Kathryn, N. D.,, March 1, 1917. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: It was with much regret I saw the defeat of House Bill 44 by the Old Guard senators, but, to be sure they will hear from us again before long. We now have the strongest farmers’ organization in the world and we must keep it up. Sixteen dollars for two years is surely cheap (the cartoons in the Leader alone are worth the price). Even if we didn’'t get our program through this year, we won a great victory certain for next election. What will Divet, Sorlie, Stenmo, etec. etc. say then? = Well, we’ll wait and see. About a week ago there came to our mail - box a neat little package address- ed to Clerk of School District No. 19 and as I happened to be clerk of that district, I got'it. However, the party that sent it (there was nothing to in- dicate who sent it) may mnot have known, that I was and am now, as much as anybody, strongly in favor to have the Nonpartisan League Program enacted into law at the earliest oppor- tunity, or maybe the party knew my standing (as I have never kept it a secret) and thought to convert me. If so, it is a 100 per cent wrong guess. There were three small pamphlets in that package and one just like the- others. On the front cover was printed in large letters: ‘“A Socialist Consti- tution. for North Dakota; do you want this or the Constitution that has stood the test for twenty-five years?” Now it didn’t say what kind of tests it had been put to, nor who tested it. But one thing is sure and that is, it didn’t stand the test the people voted s0 overwhelmingly for at the last elec- tion. The pamphlets were called the “Fourth Edition.” Well I suppose the *Fifth” is the next, let them come. I like your plan to reorganize again for two years and the organizer won't have to ask twice for the sixteen bucks either. I hope every farmer will join again, as well as all other auxiliary members and use the same slogan, “We'll Stick and We'll Win.” 'We can surely stand another round. The Leader furnishes the ammunition and when it comes to the ballot the Non- partisans are excellent marksmen. C. E. HELLAND. WISE LYNN FRAZIER It would have been impossible for Governor Frazier to have shown great- er friendship for the farmers of this state, than was evidenced by his action in vetoing the Old Guard terminal ele- wvator bill. Every farmer in this state knows that the Old Guard which told him to “go home and slop his hogs,” when he de- manded a terminal elevator, would not be in favor of giving him' anything worth while, and the measure vetoed by the governor was designed to fool the farmer, and eventunally.to deprive him of what he is determined upon bhaving. ¢ ; The bill was a clumsy attempt to saddle more taxes upon the people of the state, in hopes that this extra tax- ation would help to discourage the re- Hef sought for by the farmers. When the terminal elevators, flour mills, packing plant, etc., are built, it will not be done by taxation. It will be done by using thexcredit of the state, which credit the producers of North Dakota should be entitled to use for their own benefit. The farmers of North Dakota were certainly gifted with wisdom when . they chose Lynn J. Frazier for gover- nor—BOWMAN CITIZEN. Mention Leader when writing advertisers Markets WHEAT SUMMARY Last week started blue for the food gamblers in the wheat pits. Persistént rumors of government control of prices on bread-stuffs kept down the price of grains, although hogs, which had reached a new high top of $16 the week before were holding firm around that figure. On Wednesday rain in the Southwest winter wheat belt was unable to come to the aid of the bears, as European orders for grain were so heavy that the price was held up. With Thursday the pent up rumors that the country was really very short of all kinds of foodstuffs sent May wheat 11 cents above the close of the previous day, and cash premiums held firm above that. Grain continued to go up for the rest of the week, and although rains were pre- dicted in dried-up Kansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska, the abnormally heavy demand for flour, kept cash premiums high and sent May wheat to the highest level in its history, $2.20. LIVESTOCK SUMMARY Livestock of all kinds held their strong positions of recent weeks and new high levels were reached in carload lots of steers and in baby beef at South St. Paul. A choice lot of fat steers going a little over 1200 per head, brought $11.75 and baby beef running close to 700 per head reached $11.50. Feeder buyers were not in evidence very strongly, but speculators in the yards, anticipating a big run in the near future were bidding up to $8 and $9 for good finishing steers, giving the packers lively competition. An appeal of Secretary Houston of the department of agriculture to farmers to reserve pasturage and fodder to keep up the supply of livestock, is expected to stimulate the market and to spur coun- try buyers to pay present high prices for finishing material that will not go to market before next year. There were but few lots of sheep at South St. Paul. Hogs continued to draw from $15 to $15.75 last week. Supplies were not as heavy as the previous week and spring seeding is expected to keep many farmers so_ busy that livestock shipments may fall away temporarily.

Patten, well- known grain' speculator, is making a spectacular campaign on the Chicago Board of Trade. Mr. Patten “bought” between 5,000,- 000 and 10,000,000 bushels of corn when the price was less than §1 a bushel ‘With other food speculators, Mr. Pat- ten has succeeded in forcing the pricae over the $1.12 mark by merely holding of to what they bought. Of course, this will make the meat prices a little higher and mother will have to pay more for the cornmeal for the children’s mush, but Mr. Patten has made $50,000 a day during the last 10 days “of great national peril.”—ST, PAUL DAILY NEWS.

LIVESTOCK DEPARTMENT South St. Paul, Minnesota Who Will Sell Your Land? The immigration department of the League Exchange is a department es- tablished to assist in building up the state by giving North Dakota what North Dakota needs—more people, more homes and better towns. It is a department established by farmers for the benefit of the people of the state and those whe come to North Dakota seeking homes. This department was established to encourage immigration by directing the homeseeker to the state; to assist the homeseeker in se- curing North Dakota homes and to protect him from the land shark by directing him to the door of the land owner who has land to sell; to make it possible for the land seeker to invest his money in land rather than in the land shark’s bank account.
