How F ake League Was Started (Continued from. ' page 5) Connvflle, wholesale dry goods deal- ers, St. Paul. Jule M. Hannaford, president North- ern Pacific railroad, St. Paul. James T. Clark, president Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha rail- road, St: Paul. It will be noted that this list com- prises many men in Minneapolis who are identified with a variety of in- terests that are known to be antago- nistic to the North Dakota movement. The St. Paul list, while made up of some of the biggest business men of the city, consists almost entirely, out- side of the. three railroad men, of wholesalers and jobbers. “The publication of this paper,” Mr. Johnson went on, “continued for five months, and for each of these five months the financial question was al- ways a problem to us. After this somewhat hand-to-mouth existence, I was told by a man who had been in close touch with that political group which formerly controlled North Da- kota who was to be in charge. of the fight against the Nonpartisan league in Minnesota. . I was later informed by Mr. Warner that Charles Patter- son, a millionaire boot and shoe manu- facturer, whom I knew also to be high in the political circles of the state, would have charge of the campalgn against the League. ~ “Mr. Warner also informed ‘me that Mr. Patterson wanted my assistance in the fight in such ways as he de- cided ‘would do the most good.’ I was told that Mr. Patterson wanted to discuss various measures with me, and when I called him on the tele- phcne, he suggested a meeting in his office, at that time at 1523 Merchants National bank building.” (This is the first of a series of ar- ticles dealing with the methods of the big interests in Minnesota in fighting the Nonpartisan league. In the next article will be revealed what took place at the meeting with Mr. Pat- terson and what the outcome of that meeting was. "It will appear in the Leader of next week.) TREE PLANTING Trees are one of the®essentials in homemaking. Trees properly planted and cared for make a place homelike. One will often notice in traveling that some places look especially inviting, and make one feel as though you would like to stay there. If one will take the trouble to study such a place, one will usually find that the attractiveness is largely due to the trees and shrubs that surround the home. Trees will do well in North Dakota, when planted on well-prepared ground and given cultivation for a few years. The first trees to be planted should be a windbreak, which should be far enough from the buildings to stop the snow where it will be out of the way. Willows are the best for the wind- break. One or two rows is sufficient. If two rows are planted, place them 10 to 15 feet apart. The drier the section, the greater the distance be- tween the rows. Inside of the wil- lows, plant such trees as ash and box- elder, and 'of evergreens, the black hill ‘spruce or blue spruce and bull pine do well. Around the bu11d1ngs, shrubs add attractiveness and there are many of these that are well adapted to North Dakota conditions. - For. further mformatlon on tree planting and shrubs for North Dakota see Circular No. 10, North Dakota - Experiment Station.——NORTH DA- - KOTA AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. - R L e e e e T WORKERS AND GOVERNMENT Foreman, Ark. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: . I am often told that the working class has not the sense to operate its own government. Nevertheless, the whole affairs of the government are being administered by the workers. Not a report made by the head of a governmental department but what was prepared by a worker. The heads of these departments are elected re- gardless of their ability, and workers are counted upon to perform their tasks. Society is outgrowing this, however. Society has outgrown chat- tel slavery and serfdom, although these were simply plans of a certain class to live off the labor of another class. The “best people” always ap- . proved them. Many of the problems ‘that vex us today would have been solved long ago if those timid people of the nation were not eternally tiptoe- ing back two or three generations to get the approval of their dead ances- tors.

FAD ALFALFA PRODUCTS Alfalfa has been advertised so ex- tensively that '“make-money-easy” concerns are trymg to capitalize on this crop by selling fake and fad prod- ucts as well as worthless stock in the companies reported to produce them. As a rule, the best which can be said about many of these alfalfa products, such as alfalfa flour, alfalfa sirup, alfalfa candy, alfalfa breakfast food, and, as one circular states it, “every- thing except shoe blacking and tooth- picks,” is that they are harmless. But they are involved in stock-jobbing propositions which without question will result in loss of money to indi- viduals who succumb to the lure of these get-rich-quick schemes. The United States department of agricul- ture has a high regard for alfalfa as a forage, but the department special- ists brand as fads and fakes the medi- cines and so-called human food ar- ticles which are supposed to be made from it.—~DEPARTMENT OF AGRI- CULTURE. ADVERTISEMENTS SWAT THE ROOSTER The idea which is prevalent in many sections that the rooster in the flock is necessary for the production of eggs is absolutely without any rea- son. Many poultrymen raise large flocks of hens without a male in the flock at any time and their production of eggs is equal, if not above, the averageé. A fertile egg placed in a warm place will incubate, the embryo chicken will start to form within 24 hours, while an infertile egg will never incubate under any circumstances. About one-third or more of the eggs sold by the poultry raisers during the summer months reach the consumer in the larger cities in an unfit condi- tion for food. Therefore to save this tremendous loss the government is urging the raisers of poultry to sep- arate the males from the flocks after the breeding season s finished.— NORTH DAKOTA AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. cream of cream separator In all these respects the De Laval Take nothing for granted, simply let it See the local De Laval agent or address the nearest general office.
