As geon as possrble we expect to go back ‘to the larger size and by fall paper than ever before. We ask ‘readers fo bear with us till then. “Dear. “Sir,” he says to Mr. Townley, “am taking a chance on your getting “we hope to be printing a larger e Cumes free pubhc1ty for the - “menace” in the farmers organ- . izing to put over a real program _ for economic relief, and which - has been' hammermg ;away. at ~ the North Dakota Leaguers for some time.: ‘The League is busy sendm out League books and pamphlets - to persons who never heard of.
