The Nonpartisan Leader Newspaper, December 24, 1917, Page 14

AN ADVERTISEMENTS ARM up these cold winter nights by attending this new series of Nonpartisan league meetings just announced! Winter is the @@ time for building the League. No weather will be cold enough or storms severe enough to dampen the ardor of the big speak- ers who are already booked for the second week in January in a fine series of North Dakota meetings. They will bring you a new message. The League has made progress since the last North Dakota series of gatherings. New states have been entered—over a dozen are now vying with North Dakota in the race to be first in League loyalty and numbers. The best speakers at the disposal of the organization will address you on subjects most vital to your welfare. They will enter- tain and instruet. The fight is gettng bigger and hotter, and they will tell you about it. : If you are a League member, come to these meetings if they’re anywhere in your county. If you are not, come anyway and find out what it is that has brought thousands of farmers together in this great organization so speedily. Find someone, if possible, who has never been inside a League hall and bring him. Every session will be worth all the time trouble and expense of o getting to it. If there aren’t enough meetings booked below to cover { your territory, write to the Lecture Bureau, Box 919, Fargo, and tell them about it. They will be glad to arrange as many meetings as possible. Meetings already arranged for are as follows: Lisbon—Saturday, January 5, 2 p. m. LaMoure—Monday, January 7, 2 p. m, Edgeley—Tuesday, January 8, 2 p. m. Jamestown—Wednesday, January 9, 2 p. m.

League Governor Indorsed ‘North Dakota Farmers’ Union Praises Him and Pledges Sympathy to Twin City Union Carmen NOTHER farmers'. organiza- tion affirmed -its faith in the work of -the Nonpartisan league last week at Bismarck, ¥ when the Farmers’ union of North Dakota, indorsed Governor Lynn J. Frazier, elected by the League, and praised him for his loyalty. “We hereby indorse all his private and pub- lic acts,” said the farmers. The week before this the North Dakota state grange, historically friendly to the league, also indorsed the organization in the strongest terms, and gave as it's reason the fact that the League is making good. The farmers’ union backed street ‘car men of the: Twin Cities in their fight to wear the union button, which has been denied by the Minne- sota. Public . Safety “ commission, and - which the commission refused to arbi- trate on request:of’Secretary of War Baker. The farmers’ loyalty to the na- tional administration, and their hearty co-operation in the war against auto- cracy, were also voiced,” They pledged themselves to do their utmost, even to *our last dollar and our last ounce of effort” in producing food for Europe and _America. ' _ The seed grain shortage in North Dakota was also discussed and the names of farmers and firms that have good seed corn for sale, were given the delegates. Secretary of Agriculture and Labor, John N. Hagen told them how serious is the seed grain situation, and he also presented the resolutions adopted at the federal grain hearings in Bismarck calling for modifications of the present grades in the interest of & square deal and greater simplicity which recommendations were adopted. PRAISE FRAZIER AND CONDEMN TRADUCERS ° Important resolutions adopted at the session were as follows: : “Whereas the executive chair of the state of North Dakota is at the present time filled by an actual farm- ‘er, the Hon. Lynn J. Frazier, who is proving himself loyal to the cause of the farming class and fair and just to all other classes of the state, therefore be it Resolved that we herewith indorse all the private and official acts of our governor and heartily commend him for his patriotism and loyalty, as ex- emplified in the attitude he has so firmly taken in“‘support of the federal government, and that we condemn the men and newspapers-who have been responsible for the unfair and dis- honorable attacks upon him, thereby placing our staté in‘ a false and unde- sirable light. ;i 5 “Whereas the farmers’ union is a firm believer in the principle of individual rights and collective privi- leges, and whereas the Twin City Rapid Transit company of St. Paul and Minneapolis have unjustly denied their workingmen the right ,am_l privi- lege to wear the insignia of the organi- _lshed financial accounting for eleva- -where the intention was good.” ‘as a means for protecting the chief - state banks are supervised, and now, “What'Il we have to drink?” That’s the question when company is coming over to spend the evening— _ or for luncheon—and the “stumper” too, when you drop into a restaurant or stop at SR i BEVERAGE NON-INTOXICATING answers it for everyone. Answers it completely— and satisfactorily. Make up your. mind »ow—that you can’t make a mistake in serving others with Gund’s or having it served to you. It proves a drink pleasure to everyone. It’s new. It’s out- of-the-ordinary. It is the greatest achievement eVer attained in the production of a soft drink. Pure. Thoroughly wholesome. A de- lightful taste without an objectionable “trait.” Richly flavored with ‘a soft, yet snappy zestfulness that is pleasing to all.

DISTRIBUTORS tors as well as an examination of thefr wheat receipts and shipments is a wise provision, is being proven as reports reach inspection headquarters in Fargo from the 1300 or 1400 elevators in the first and second congressional districts. These are now coming in from all points, and reports from the third district will be due January 1. Under this law elevators are as care- fully ' watched and supervised as the state banks. Their financial opera- tions are checked up. Their surety bonds and insurance are supervised and kept in proper condition. Those that have not already a systematic method of keeping their financial ac- counts get aid from the department, and the reports indicate that there are some that needed this sort of help. “As a general thing, the reports are much better than we anticipated”, said Fred M. Schulz, chief accountant, “but they show that the records of the wheat taken in and the wheat shipped out are kept better than the financial records. Often the reports come in with debit items in the credit column and credits in the debit column.
