Olson Loses Bond
J. P. Olson met with a bunch
of tough luck one day last week
while making the rounds paying
some bills for the local Reserve
organization. He had a 50 dollar
Liberty Loan bond in his inside
coat pocket when he started out,
but in some manner it fell out of
his pocket and Mr. Olson has not
seen it since, although he has
made diligent search and inquiry
regarding the same. Mr. Olson
reported the number of the bond
as being 4537226, and he would
greatly appreciate its recovery.

CROP PROSPECTS MtE
HOST BttliENT HERE
A trip over the counties of
Richland and Sargent this spring
will convince the most skeptical
that this section of the state is
going to produce a bumper crop
this coming fall. Every farmer
in the two counties has sown ev
ery acre possible and hundreds
of fields of, wheat are already up.
Stock is in excellent condition.
Many of the farmers who have
finished seeding on their own
farms have made arrangements
to lease land from neighbors and
much new land is being put into
flax.

River, and a lot of other rot to the Non
partisan League, but all are untrue. No
deal has yet beeu made and no definite

bunk. Give everybody a square deal.

"Dear United States Army:
My husband ast me to write
a rekomend that he supports
his family. He can not read,
so don't tell him. Jus' take
him. He ain't done nothing
but fiddle and drink lemmon
essencs since I married him
eight years ago, and I got to
feed seven kids of his. Maybe
you can get him to carry a
gun. He's good on squirrles
and eatin's. Take him and
welcum. I need the grub and
his bed for the kids. Don't tell
him this, but jist take him".-

DOYLE'S CANDIOAGY STIRS ALL
ALL STATE TO ENTHUSIASM
Buy W. S. S
The announcement of U. S.
Marshal Doyle that he is a candi
date for the nomination for gov
ernor has aroused the interest
and enthusiasm of progressive
and patriotic people all over the
state.
For the first time in years the
people of North Dakota have an
opportunity of electing a man
who |is broad, constructive, ag
gressive, a thinker and a "doer."
The only place in the state
that resents the announcement
is the local gang and the state
capital, the sacred temples of
machine politics. They have all
had it figured out for months who
would be the next governor of
North Dakota and there was
great consternation that Mr.
Doyle had the nerve to enter the
race against the wishes of the
machine which controls.
For the past two years North
Dakota has been governed by an
administration which has not
dared to move until it had the
sanction of the "Big Five" inter
ests that dominate the state.
Now the voters have an oppor
tunity of putting a man at the
head of the commonwealth who
will look at things from their
standpoint, who has been tried in
an official position and who has
always registered 100 percent.
Doyle clubs should be organ
ized in everv town in North Da
kota immediately, even if there
ase only two members, .and the
fight should be carried toafinish.
The "Big Five" believes that it
can force its will upon the people
of North Dakota again this year
without any trouble, but if the
voters are thoroughly aroused to
the seriousness tf tne situation
the same
when the
the machine will get
dose it always gets
people are aroused.
His name is known all over the
country in places where it would
be impossible to find anyone who
would know the name of the gov
ernor of North Dakota. He has a
breadth of vision that enables
him to distinguish between the
machine politics and broad, con
structive work, and in these
times when the president of the
United States is looking to the
governors of the states for effici
ent and sufficient support, he
looks like the ideal man for the
place.
In the years he has been U. S.
Marsha], politicians who were
jealous of the record he was
making have attacked him from
I time to time, but he has emerged
from tlies2 assaults stronger than
ever with the people.
When it comes to a showdown
the people of North Dakota can
usuaily be depended upon to do
the right thing, and Mr. Doyle
will not suffer at their hands, ev
en though the Townley machine
is against him.
No, Jennie, the Nonpartisan
League hasn't bought the Times,
despite the fact the gang has
misrepresented things since Jan
uary in a frenzied attempt to put
the Times out of business.
