AMATEUR DEPARTMENT CONDUCTED BY B. O. FOSS, LEADER STAFF CARTOONIST Nonpattisan league. ANG! A regular shake up. Where the ol’ goat hits he hits hard and things just naturally have to move. Ernest Letzring, Park River, N. D., a 13-year-old boy, seems to have the right idea about the Ernest shows in his cartoon just exactly what is going to happen when the League hits. Big Biz and the Profiteer are going to be knocked right off the fade of the earth. I claim that this is a dandy cartoon for a 13-year-old to turn out. I have noticed, of late, that the bulk of the cartoons come from Minnesota and North and South Dakota. What’s the matter with the kids in Texas, Wash- ington, Idaho, Iowa and Nebraska? Give it a whirl and see 1t‘ you can’t cop the weekly award of $1. Every one of you will have a much better chance of winning if you will but live up to the following instructions: All cartoons should be drawn on white unruled paper with black ink. Cartoons drawn with a pencil or with light blue ink can not be used as they will not reproduce. To get the best results make the drawings about seven or eight inches wide. The pen lines 'should be rather heavy. If I can get enough good ones I'll ask the boss if we can’t have a full page next week. Yours, B. 0. FOSS. Letters From Our Readers NEW MEXICO HEARD FROM Floyd, N. M. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: We hear the bark down in the sand- hills of New Mexico. I believe that the League is getting pretty close after Big Biz. One of their watch- dogs, the one they call the *Farmers’ Dispatch,” 'is doing some awful loud barking. But why should we worry ? The more the dog barks the easier it is to tell where Big Biz is hiding, and so we will soon capture the beast. A. F. GLOVER. Mr. Glover encloses-a letter which he sent to the Farmers’ Dispatch notifying the editor to stop sending him this paper, which never loses a chance to knock the organized farm- ers—THE EDITOR. SUCCESS IN NEBRASKA z Ord, Neb. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: It is with much pleasure I note your articles regarding J. F. McGee’s charges against the League. I was among the first to take up that matter with my congressman, also that slan- derous statement sent out by Chicago bankers, and the matter of Congress- woman Rankin being refused permis- . sion to speak for the Liberty loan on account: of being a champion of the common people. I believe that success is certain in this state. B. H. ALVORD. MONTANANS IN A PICNIC s Peerless, Mont. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: We had a fine picnic at Peerless June 1. planned to have F. A. Mills; one of our capable organizers and speakers to address the meeting, but' learned last Monday that Mr. Mills was sick. However, we were able to get P. E. Burke, postmastér of Scobey, to de- -liver an address, and he’ gave us a It was a grand success.’ About 500 people attended. We had: very excellent talk. Mr. Taylor, ed- itor of The Producers News, gave us a very interesting talk on the im- portant needs of a press conducted in the interest of the farmers. He also explained the League program very carefully. There were some knockers at the picnie, but nothing rough was started. In fact, it would have been very unsafe for them to do so. Such gatherings as these are a splendid thing. It brings the farmers together, not only the members, but also the nonmembers, with the re- sult that they have a chance to com- pare their ideas and get a better un- derstanding of the farmers’ League, and what may be done when the farmers are thoroughly organized. _ The result ot a complete organiza- tion of the farmers will mean that they will use the political machinery in their own interest, instead of hav- ing it used against them as is the case today. This is the reason why big business is so violently opposed to the organization of the farmers. Let every farmer understand this, and let him help to get every farmer who is not yet a member into the League movement. Do not be misled by the false state- § ments and reports that we see in the kept press from day to day. They are simply intended to discourage organization. A BOOSTER. BOOSTING IN WASHINGTON : Outlook, Wash, Editor Nonpartisan Leader: ' I was one of the first to join the League in our-voting'precinct, and am helping the orgamzer get new mem- bers. We are going over the top (with a'whoop) ‘out here ‘and will all do our _bit to help the cause of true democracy both at home and abroad. The farm- ers here are loyal and true and will not ‘be found wanting when lt comes to help in: the war. ° g “DATUS VAN PATTER. PAGE TWENTY ONE ADVERTISEMENTS “Lafayette, Here We Are” Through remote French vil- lages resounds the unaccus- tomed tramp of American soldiers. But a little while ago and these men were in the quiet of theirhomes in a peace- ful country. Today, in a. strange land, they are fac- ing the world’s bloodiest struggle. Pershing at the tomb of America’s old time friend months ago reported, with true soldier eloquence, “Lafayette, here we are.” And it is for us of the great American democ- racy to rally all our might to the support of our army and our allies. “'?‘-.3“«/, One Policy WE ARE IN THE MARKET FOR 1,000,000 rounos From our shores to the bat- ~ tlefields of France are thou- sands of miles which must be -bridged with ceaseless sup- plies to our trocps.
