This is another sample of a home- grown North Dakota product. His name is Lynn J. Frazier Van Vorst. He is a little less than two years old, and is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Van Vorst of Fargo. Little Lynn J. Frazier, named, of course, after the first farmers’ governor of North Da- kota, was born at Vanville, Burke county, N. D., September 30, 1917. His parents later moved with him to Fargo. His father joined the League in 1915, one of the first members in the state. In 1916 he did organiza- tion work in Minnesota, and in the referendum campaign in North Dako- ta was very active in getting votes ‘for the seven referred laws. WAR DIET AND HUMAN WEIGHT A statistical report published in the German press and dealing with the effect of war food on the human con- stitution shows briefly that farmers and their families lost no weight dur- ing the war, but that persons living in large cities were affected to a se- rious degree. . According to Bavarian doctors, the average person in cities lost about one-sixth his pre-war weight, but in small towns the loss has been only about one-twentieth. “Self-providers,” as farmers are called, lost no weight during the war and this observation applies to both men and women. Among city con- sumers, however, men lost about one- tenth their pre-war weight and women about one-fourteenth. Infdrmation of this kind reflects, in a measure at least, the close food margins on which city dwellers in central Europe have been living. Ac- cording to the United States food ad- ministration, the situation probably has been more critical among the sur- rounding nations which Germany has drained of food and it is these newly liberated countries that must have food from America promptly and in plenty. - DUCKS WITHOUT WATER People sometimes think that inas- much as North Dakota does not pos- sess many lakes and large rivers that the” raising of ducks is out of the question, but that is not the case, for ducks as well as geese can be raised away from lakes and rivers, but not away from water, for being aquatic in their - natural state they consume more water than chickens but suf- ficient water can be supplied in open vessels. Inasmuch as the very small duck- lings can not shed water, they must be given protection from the rains until they are. supplied with a coat of feathers. Of the several varieties of ducks, the Indian Runner, of which there are several varieties according to their color, is the heaviest layer, but like the Leghorn chicken it is not noted for its food value. Of the meat variety of ducks the Pekin or Rouen - ducks are the most favored. The government pamphlet, “Duck Raising,” will be mailed to interested - persons on request.—NORTH DAKO- .~ TA AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.

Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I have been reading your paper for some time and note how truth- fully you handle every subject. I was much impressed with John M. Baer’s cartoon in your issue of June 2, and knowing what the real Non- partisan state, North Dakota, has done for the soldiers, I want you to know how Tacoma, Wash., treats its men. Four soldier boys were con- victed in the court here of selling tags. The only crime of these men was to organize a soldiers’ and sail- ors’ council and ask for better work- ing conditions for the returned men, and to sympathize with striking workmen. The prosecuting attorney, in stating his case, pointed out the fact that the convicted men wore no wound stripes. Outrages of this kind deserve plenty of publicity. VINCE J. TUTTLE. TAXES IN CALIFORNIA Julian, Cal. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I consider the Leader the greatest paper published. Why can’t we have a League in California? I am in- closing a tax blank. Why, they even tax a few chickens or a pup now! However, unimproved land held by big interests is being taxed around here at $1.25 an acre, while the owners are asking $500 an acre for it. Im- proved land is assessed at $10 an acre. We are talking League here because there is no place where the small landowner is so discriminated against as in California. In the meantime they are advertising to get settlers. There ought to be some way in which settlers could be ‘warned against the tax conditions here or else a plan adopted to treat settlers more fairly. J. W. GRIFFITH. MUCH RODENT POISON USED In one March order the Montana State Agricultural college sold 15,000 pounds of rodent poison bait to coun- ty farm bureaus of the state. The state college has erected a special building where the gopher poison bait is mixed and sold at cost, averaging about 15 cents a quart. The county agents are co-operating with the col- lege and are obtaining bait for rodent control campaigns. Where there are no county agents orders are handled by local farmers’ organizations. DRIVE IN TWO STATES A great organization campaign is being conducted by the Nonpartisan league in Texas and Oklahoma, and farmers of these two great states are pre- paring to go to the polls in 1920 to remedy some of the legisla- tion of which they have long been victims. In Oklahoma the farmers have asked A. C. Town- ley, president of the League, to come there for a speech, and it - has been tentatively ~arranged that the League head will speak in Oklahoma City on or about October 12. g i i i SR BB < ST R
