Turn A New Leaf N a New Year’s message: to the people of North Dakota, Governor Lynn J. Frazier calls upon the farming population to plant - the fields to the utmost, and calls upon all the citizens of the state to lay aside all opportunities to take advantage of their fellows and get behind the boys who are- fighting in Europe in “the’ world war for liberty.” The governor’s New Year message is as follows: “The New Year of 1918 comes upon the people at a time when they are engaged in the solution of most un- usual and serious problems. Within the past twelve months our beloved Nation has taken up arms in behalf of right- and justice and against op- pression and vassalage. -Our young men- are taking ‘their places on the of - Europe—there to wrest the power to despoil and em- slave from the most autocratic despot- ism. that ever- threatened the. over- throw of modern civilization, and to . place this power in the hands of the people to be used in uplifting oppress- ed humanity and assuring an equality ~of rights and opportunities, which is - the natural heritage of all. “It is the duty: of those mnot in the service to furnish the means to prose- cute this great world war for liberty. I am very much pleased with the loyal spirit shown and I am sure that the people of North Dakota will continue to do their part. “It is necessary. that as large an acreage of grain as possible be seeded -~ mext spring in order that there may be no break in the food supply for our: armies and navies. We can not leave room for any possibility of a shortage in this important - factor toward our Let each do what ‘he ‘can to increase production, and save and conserve all food products. “With victory as our aim this should not be a time for promoting selfish in- * terests. " Those who are fighting our battles have no hope of direct personal gain ~Their only thought is how:best ‘to serve our country. This should be i vthe ~true -imcentive of "every ‘loyal “American. He who would: pile up huge pro!its wrung from the ‘struggle : truly patriotic. In this New Year it is up to us to guard the lines from the _sources of production to the firing line in France. Our boys, God bless them, will do the rest. “May success and happmess crown our efforts, and may justice and peace triumph within this New Year. ' “LYNN J. FRAZIER.” - LEAGUE SPEAKERS HEARD Nonpartisan league meetings in North Dakota drew large audiences during the last week of December and the first week of January, and a fur- ther extension of these meetings has been decided upon to reach territory that has not been reached in the others. L. F. Horst and F. J. Argast, who both speak in German and Eng- lish, ‘are to speak - during the next week, and longer if the demand for additional dates.continues. A feature that proved attractive was the “Nonpartisan League Booster quartet,” which sang at several of the larger meetings, some of their songs having been composed especially for League audiences and being set to popular tunes. : Be a Mechanlc who likes machinery.
