M R R & s o The Holdup (Continued from page 3) ALLIES OF THE KAISER, AND ARE DOING THEIR UTMOST TO DEFEAT THE PATRIOTIC PURPOSES OF THE NATION.”’ (Do you know that with all our indignation at the great market robbery we have never been so bold as to make a charge like this, to accuse the food sharks of being tra.ltors" It is a governmental official who says this.) * * * HOW TO GO ABOUT IT ISTEN further: ‘‘These men will be taken care of in due time I by natioanl, state and municipal legislation, but until such legislation.can be enacted, the only effective power that can be brought against them is the power of an outraged public sentiment, and that should be used vigorously and mercilessly.”’ Take careful note of every word of this; it is important. It is the essence of the program of the Nonpartisan League, spoken by a gov- ernment official whom we ought to make an honorary member. Listen—‘‘in due time,” ~* * * -‘‘national, state and municipal regulation’’—Do you see? National regulation is not enough. The states must act in some way. So must the cities. There must be polit- ®jcal action by the people in city, state and nation. 'What kind of doc- trine is this, anyway? Socialism? Anarchism? I. W. W ’ism? Or just necessity interpreted into terms of common sense ? But don’t stop here—read the last few words again: ‘* ® # * The only effective power that can be brought against them is the power of an outraged sentiment, and that should be used vigorously and mercilessly.’’ * * * THIS FELLOW’S AN ‘‘AGITATOR’’ vwflAT does that mean? Agitation! This fellow Vrooman whom President Wilson has put into a highly responsible position at Washington, who is now trying to deal with the . greatest war question before the American people—is an ‘‘agitator.’’ He believes in agitation. - Worse than that, he believes in the very kind of agitating the Nonpartisan League agitators have been busy about. He calls it patriotic service. And he calls the market hogs and the men who are helping them ‘‘allies of the kaiser.’’ Now let some people in the state of North Dakota and the North- west put THAT in their pipe and smoke it. Carry the truth to the people! Emergency Seed Grain (Continued from page 10) have received the seed. It will then be necessary for you to clean it if you want it cleaned before sowing. When the grain reaches you, if you are in doubt as to whether it meets the specifications or reaches the character of the sample on which you bought, take a reliable witness with you and in his presence take fair samples of the seed from several bags, number the samples, and submit the same to the pure seed laboratory accompanied with a signed statement, signed by yourself and by your witness or witnesses. To the seed growers: You have been striving to raise pure seed for the matket for sowing purposes. I feel confident that conditions warrant the dbelief that the demand for good seed in the spring of 1918 will far exceed that which is now on. Now is the time to arrange to meet that demand. To those who are attempting to pro- ‘wide the farmer with seed for sowing: May I not appeal to you as patriotic* persons to use every effort possible to provide seed to the growers which is worthy to be used as seed? Do not in this time of emergency send to him seeds which will befoul the land and destroy the hope of future crops. (Circular statement by H. L. Bolley, State Seed Commlssloner, Agncultural College, 'N. D.) PRESERVING EGGS BEggs gathered now can be kept till next winter in a solution of water and waterglass. Mix 9 parts boiled water to 1 part waterglass. Put into a jar. Select fresh clean eggs and place ‘in the solution. Keep the jar covered and in a cool place. It may be necessary to replace water if it evaporates. Eggs kept in waterglass should be pricked with a pin before boiling to prevent cracking of the shell.—Agr. Ex. Dept. N. D. Agr. College. The Rural Teacher (Continued from page 11) Again she can leave her own town (after she has first sought employ- ment) and go to another (spending the few dollars she has left) and then §f she does not find work, she can gpend the rest of her money by going home. In regard to “incidental expenses” '($20) you may think I exaggerate but 1 can prove to you that I do not. The following is a prolonged synopsis of the cost of one teacher’s examination. In order to go to town, a certain party gave me an old lame horse which was too old to do any hard work, but could walk to town in a day, if you - let him have his time. This I deter- mined to do, as the ‘town was only fourteen miles away. . I began my Jjourney, stopped at a village at noon, fed my horse, had my dinner and paid my first dollar. “|NCIDENTAL” SURPLUS MELTS LIKE SNOW The afternoon was spent in singing gongs, talking to my pacer until I arrived in town at six o'clock that evening. As this was Wednesday evening the horse was cared for at the livery barn until Saturday morning. Cost of stabling .........ccevue. $3.00 Hotel bill (for the same time) ... 4.00 Examination fee ......... sesecss 2.00 Expenses via journey ...... oo 1.00 O N RO A SO $10.00 A week after this I received my first “dun”. For use of horse, four days, $5.00. This I paid with ten cents extra for interest. The total cost of the examination that I attended, was $15.10. Now add to this the cost of reading circle books, $2.00 (that every progressive teacher is supposed to have) and $3.00 for one school paper and you are welcome to what you have left of the $20 for “incidental expenses.” I wish to say that all teachers, and other persons as well are anxious .to have an education, whether they at- tend a college or an institute but is it necessary for the person who has a valid certificate (that is not a thousand years old) to attend institute and spend the last dollar he or she may have? “Education is supposed to be free’ Here’s hoping that the “Nonpartisan League” will make it free-er. THIRTEEN / ADVERTISEMENTS COMMISSIONS The members -of the South St. Paul Livestock Exchange have raised the commissions on livestock to figures that will mean a raise of from twq to five dol- lars per car. We do not believe this raise is warranted and for that reason have decided TO STAY ON THE OLD RATES. If this raise had been on grain where it takes such excessive amounts to finance elevator accounts, there might have been some justice to it, but not on livestock. If you are interested in savmg from two to five dollars per car on livestock shipments and getting just as good prices for your shipments, Try Equity Exchange Service for Grain and Livestock.
