Baer more than two years ago and its realization today are reproduced this week " for the Leader cover. Two years ago the North Dakota farm- er caught his vision, the vision of his own industries, free from the stain of profiteering. His wishes disregarded, his rights trampled upon, the farmer determined that he should no longer be held under the thumb of the big interests:. Today North Dakota has laid the cornerstone of economic’ freedom in America. The Bank of North Dakota has opened its doors. This single act has liberated the farmers of the state from the shackles of the money trust which wrung high rates of interest from the people of North Dakota for many weary years. North Dakota already is going forward with its work for the erection of state-owned mills and elevators, where the farmer will be assured of fair and equitable prices for his grains. - The New Day, which the farmer of North Dakota saw breaking over the hills two years ago, has dawned. TIRE AGENTS Be- | . DOCKAGE CURING MRS. JONES Here is one of the stories Con- gressman John M. Baer tells to illus- trate his argument that the profes- sional pohtlclans do not want to cure the economic ills of the nation. . “If the politicians went to the root of the -economic evil,” Baer says, “it would soon put an end to profiteering and mean less money for the political slush funds. Their attitude reminds me of old Doctor Smith in a North Dakota town. “Doc Smith had just taken his re- John M. Baer cently graduated son into his office to assist him in his practice. The young fellow was enthusiastic over his pro- fession, and it was only a few weeks after he had begun practice that what he thought was his chance came along. A woman who had been a patient of | his father’s for many years called for the older physician. But he was busy -and young Doctor Smith answered the call, ‘but before leaving on the ‘case he ‘went to a card index which his father kept to look up the record of . his patient’s illness. He found a liver complaint registered. “The woman, however, was fractious and refused to allow the young physi- cian to treat her. of ‘her - protests, the enthusiastic practitioner wrote out a prescription which he assured her would quickly relieve her. The woman sniffed in unbelief, however. “As soon as he returned to the office the youngster burst in upon his father. “‘Why, dad,’ he exclaimed, ‘Mrs. Jones hasn’t liver trouble at all. I just gave her a prescription which I know will cure her.’ - ““Humph!” grunted - his ‘Young man, you’d better leave Mrs. Jones’ liver alone. That liver sent you through college and has been keeping the family for the last 80 yea.!_'s,.' 2. .-Whatl’fe going to happen to those - spontaneous quartets after July 1?

But since the above is a modest summary of just what happened, it is not difficult to put the proper value on the report- ed white heat of this patriotic sacri- fice and devotion. AFTER JULY 1 At the mill, where they made sweet cider, They’ve put sawdust on the floor, And the gang from Harry’s poolroom - Is now hanging ’round its door; At the mill, where they made sweet cider, : There’s a rushing business, pard, For the mill, where they made sweet cider, Is now turning it out hard. The farmer had just killed ' the goose that laid the golden egg. “Why did you do that?” the- poli- ticians asked. “Well, why shouldn’t I? Every time this bu'd laid an egg, the profiteers took it. Then when I protested, they said: “‘Well, you've still got the goose, haven’t you?’?” HOW EDITORS ARE MADE There was a man in our town adept at telling lies, He’d have old Ananias quite gasping with surprise; And when the plunderbund found out " the thing he could do best, They bought this man 'a paper and told him to do the rest. After readmg Mr. Johnson’s story of what happened to the Patterson slush fund, it seems queer to hear these men talked of as “hard-headed business “men:% 1“If: that’s ;the’ .case,. | | there’s been an awful lot of good busi- ness’ ‘material | gone to waste in the , manufacture of piano keys. ; “We have heard of several nieo 7v>vh‘o ‘were 8o busy learning.the truth about.
