GETTING THEIR EYES OPEN
Perham, Minn., Aug. 5, 1917.
Editor Nonpartisan Leader:
The world moves, and sometimes
the inhabitants thereof. This date was
proof of that. Organizer Munger of the
Nonpartisan league advertised a League
meeting at the Vandeventer sum
mer resort at the inlet of the Little
Pine lake, and no gathering of such
vast proportions ever assembled in the
neighborhood of Perham.
The Lake Park band furnished music.
It is safe to say there were from 1000
to 2000 cars besides all kinds of teams,
which would mean 5000 or 6000 people.
E. R. Meitzen of St. Paul, and Mr.
Meitzen, editor of the German section
of the Leader, both delivered address
es. Speaker Meitzen entered into his
subject with a vim, and was well re
ceived by the vast audience, which was
composed of merchants, bankers, and
professional men, as well as farmerst
although the farmers were a big ma
jority. Farmers came from a radius of
50 miles. They are certainly getting
their eyes opened, and they will be in
no particular hurry to close them again.
The speakers drove some telling re
marks home, and were frequently ap
plauded. The farmers are ready for
the change, and they are determined
to get it and determined to "stick".
More such meetings are needed so that
both farmers and consumers will be
come educated in the principles of
the Nonpartisan league.

TEXAS WANTS HELP
Hallettsville, Texas.
Editor Nonpartisan Leader:
I received copies of the Leader and
after reading same I am able to say
you men "go to it" for you are sound
ing the keynote for industrial freedom
and equal rights to all alike. When
can you let that wave strike Texas?
God speed the day. We are hustling
down here we want help we need it.
Hurry up.

A SUGGESTION
Perth, N. D., Aug. 3, 1917.
Editor Nonpartisan Leader:
At a meeting of the Home Defense
league of this village a resolution waa
passed instructing the clerk to write
you people as a precautionary measure
against fires destroying grain fields, to
insert in your paper a suggestion that
farmers plow a fire guard around their
fields—that is after the grain is cut
and in the shock. In doing this it
would be necessary to set the shocks
on the outside of the fields in a rod or
two and then make a few rounds with
the plow, and we believe it would be a
great help in stopping afire if one
should occur.
This would not entail very much ex
tra work and we believe it would be
quite a protection for the farmer him
self as well as his neighbors.
H. A. HAINES, Sec.
OFFICIALS MAKING GOOD
The efficacy of the attorney gen
eral's office in the enforcement of law
is being thoroughly demonstrated under
the administration of Governor Frazier.
One would search in vain the records
of late administrations—or those/more
remote, either—to find an officer who
has performed his duties with more
zeal and courage than Attorney General
Langer is doing. He is enforcing the.
law for sure. He is enforcing it suc
cessfully even in spite of the indif
ferent and passive attitude of local
officials towards their immediate du
ties and their lack of co-operation.
His recent raid on the prohibition
law violators in Grand Foijts and on
the brewery on the east side and the
success of it proves the good work
that can be done in this regard,
when the sentiment of the people is
for law and order. His acts meet with
approval except from the Grand
Forks Herald, which believes the raid
should have been made in the day
time instead of at night. The people
approve Langer's strict law enforce
ment policy.—GAZETTE-NEWS, Park
River, N. D.
SCARED
The politicians of the two old par
ties are begining to feel alarmed over
the activity of the Nonpartisan league,
the farmers' organization that cap
tured North Dakota, in Nebraska.
Organizers are busy In this state.
During the, last few weeks Antelope
and Madison counties were organized
in addition to other northeastern
counties previously put tntjo shapes
It is in that section of the state that
the work is being vigorously prose
cuted.—SIOUX CITY Oa.) TRTBUNH
As to League conditions around here,
I will say those fellows outside the
League are trying to make the farmers
believe that we have gone over to the
1. W. W. and are trying to help them
fix an exorbitant wage, but I am of
the opinion that they are not getting
by with any of that bunk.
The president of the League will
give but three addresses in the state,
speaking in Mitchell, Sioux Falls and
Madison.
Farmers and their wives drove in
from many of the surrounding coun
ties to hear the address, Hanson
sending over a good delegation. That
county has just formed an organiza
tion of 400 farmers to support the Non
partisan league.—ABERDEEN (S. D.)

WHO GETS THE $3,317
This spring a southern farmer raised
some potatoes and sold them to a local
shipper. Being of a curious turn of
mind, he cut one of the potatoes in half
hollowed it out, and enclosed in it a
note asking the ultimate consumer to
write him and tell him bow much ths
cost to her was. The ultimate con'*
sumer was a woman, whcU found
the note and wrote to the jgrower,
telling him that the potatoes cost
her ?4 a bushel. He wrote her. that
he received 69 cents a bushel for them.
Thirty-one cents would mean consid»
erable freight to pay on a bushel ot
potatoes. Who got the "other $3T

CROPS A FAILURE
Lansford, N. D., Aug. 4, 1917.
Editor Nonpartisan Leader:
Presuming you are interested in crop
conditions, I will say that our crop all
through this locality is practically
nothing. On 40 acres of timothy mea
dow last year, I cut 60 tons of hay.
This year I got just one ton. Three or
four bushels of wheat to the acre will
be a good average. The straw is about
six inches long. Rye will go about the
same as wheat. The straw of oats and
barley is very thin, and so short we can
hardly cut it at all. Will have to use
headers or flax attachments on it and
on the wheat too. Of flax, there is
none at all. I don't know how we will
be able to winter our horses and cattle
this year.

A LEAGUE PICNIC
Bierman, N. D., July 23, 1917.
Editor Nonpartisan Leader:
On July 31 about-130 people gathered
at the H. T. ranch for a Nonpartisan
league picnic. Governor Frazier and
Attorney General Langer were speakers
of the day. Both spoke out under the
grove. The band played several pieces
and the speeches were good.
The farmers are very enthusiastic
about the League's progress and much
interest was "taken in the talks made by
the governor and attorney general.

CROWD HEARS TOWNLEY
Probably 1,500 men and women as
sembled at the corn palace building
Thursday evening to listen to an ad
dress by A. C. Townley, president ot
the Nonpartisan league of North Dako
ta. C. A. Boreson of Tobin township,
presided over the meeting and while
waiting for the crowd to assemble,
W. B. Ronald occupied a few minutes
in telling about the new political party
and why he is giving it his support.
Mr. Ronald introduced the speaker of
the evening as a man whom he be
lieved had the solution at hand and
whom he believed' to be conscientious
in his efforta
Mr. Townley"s address was given
the closest attention throughout and
he was frequently interrupted with
applause. Starting practically alone
in the building of the Nonpartisan
league, he declared that it was now
becoming a national organization,
reaching over the western states,
which meant a sweeping in of the
farmers' legislation in the west.
