RODVIK E HAD a “touching” time at Nonpartisan league headquarters when the Red Cross drivers enter- And we were all there! They found us all willing and pre- pared to go “over the top” with them to help “the greatest mother in the world” carry on her work of mercy for suffering humanity. The whole headquarters staff as- sembled in the large accounting office and presented a mixed congregation. Gray-haired veterans, scarred from many a political battlefield, mingled with young warriors eager to get into the fight for democracy and with a fighting spirit like the governor him- self. ¥ : The headquarters fair sex were beautifully represented with the whole set of attractive ladies, which un- doubtedly made a deep impression on the Red Cross gentlemen. Mr. Baumgartner, one of the ‘“drivers,” made a four-minute impres- sive speech, outlining the Red Cross work from the time it was started by Florence Nightingale during the Cri- mean war and its international organ- ization at Berne, Switzerland, in 1865. He also told about the great work done by the organization during this war and urged everybody to give wholeheartedly and cheerfully because it would lend courage to our boys over there. 0. A. French, the other “Red” man, explained how to give and the terms for paying the pledges. Both received thunderous applause and everybody gave with good cheer and to the best of his ability. The Red Cross drivers will never forget the.glad hand-and :cordial re. . ception they received at Nonpartisan league headquarters. In the office of the Leader the will- ingness and ability to support the angels of mercy was unanimous. Failed to Save Idaho W heat (From the Idaho Leader) “Delivery of all will be completed by May 15.” This is what the agent of the Zear- ing Grain company reported to the federal food administration when the government’s attention was called to a pile of 25,000 bushels of wheat which was being allowed to rot and ruin in a field near Pauline, in Power county. This same agent reported to the gov- ernment that the wheat was protected - and not spoiling. Both statements have been proved wilful misrepresentation of facts. The grain is still there. The Idaho Leader has photographs taken May 18 to show that it was still there. What is going to be done about it? Just why the grain company is per- mitting this wheat to lay unprotected and spoiling in the field is hard to un- derstand when the government has urged the grain growers of the na- tion to rush all of their supply to the market before May 15. Is it because the sprouted and mouldy wheat is worth more as hog feed than as grain to feed the soldiers of America? There are some who are inclined to believe that this is the real cause for the failure to move this wheat to market. ought to be removed.” duty to the full.” - LIKE A PRAIRIE FIRE Strool, S. D. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: My neighbor, who does not belong to the League, just called and he was sure mad. In the same mail with his “Farmers’ ” Dispatch, which told how badly the League was being wrecked and all the prominent members con- victed down in. Goodhue county, Minn., was & letter from his mother, in which that good old lady states: “Isn’t it awful? The Nonpartisan league are just like the bedbugs around here. of sight, three more are coming. Your brother, who has only held his county office two years,-has given up all hope. It makes him sick, for he knows that he will lose out this fall. At first, we treated it as a joke, and everybody laughed at the League, then they got so strong that harsher methods had to . be used, and these only fanned the flame into a prairie fire, which the local politicians can not put out.” Neighbor came over to join the League. He said: “I wrote my broth- er, the poor fish, to:come alive and join the League, if they- would take him. By gosh! They’re not laughing at the League down in Minnesota. Just wait until that ‘prdirie: fire’ - 4 WILSON SHOOTS AT THE PROFITEERS - President Wilson appeared unexpectedly before congress, May 27, and demanded prompt action to tax the profiteers. Here are some of his hot shots: . “Profiteering that can not be got atvby restraints of con- science and love of country can be got at by taxation.” “We shall naturally turn to war profits and incomes and luxuries for the additional taxes.” “The present tax laws are marred by iniquities which “We dare not go to the elections until we have done our “The people of this countrflr are ready and willing to bear any burden and undergo any sacrifice necessary to win.” As soon as one is out. that they have started in Minnesota strikes this South Dakota wind! The whole bunch of our old gang will find themselves wiped up, sleek and clean.” The thing for the rest of us to ‘do is—when we read some news item in any Twin City paper which condemns the League, just realize that said pa- pers are putting up the fight of their lives. 3 EMMETT G.

SOCIALISTS ATTACK LEAGUE (From the South Dakota Leader) The Socialist party in South Dakota has joined hands with big business to crush the National * Nonpartisan league. : In the current issue of “The Co- --Operative Commonwealth,” the official organ of the red c¢ard Socialists in - South Dakota, the League is falsely denounced as a grafting organization, more - interested in the $16 obtained from memberships than it is in its re- form program. = - e Secretary Atwood, the author of thi - lying attack on the farmers’ organiza- tion, goes so far as to issue an execu- tive order that any local which “gets mixed ‘up with this League or any -other compromise” WILL LOSE ITS 35
