REFUTES LIES
U. L. Burdick, head of the North
Dakota Farm Bureau federation, who
is NOT a Nonpartisan leaguer, in a
recent statement to a farm paper of
the Pacific Coast said:
The state of North Dakota is not bank
rupt in fact, no state in the Union owes
as little Btate debt per capita as North Da
kota. Our state debt does not exceed $1
per quarter section of land. You hear
much about 40 banks closing in North Da*
kota. What closed the banks ef North Da
kota? The banks in North Dakota closed
for the reason that the farmers around the
banks closed first. Years of crop failures,
running: as high as five straight in some
sections of the state, together with the
price of the 1920 crop slightly over half
of the cost of production, simply put hun
dreds of farmers out of busniess.
So it wasn't Townley that did it!

FRIENDLY ADVICE
Editor Nonpartisan Leader: It
makes me tired when I know we farm
ers can change things if we want to,
but don't. We pay our dues and then
don't even read the paper that is sent
to us to keep us posted. When in
Nebraska last winter a farmer said he
was not going to renew his member
ship because he had been to a sale and
they had told him all kinds of things
(naming some) and he had to take it
because he could not answer them.
I said: "Do you read your League
papers?" He said: "No, I haven't
got time."
There are hundreds of you who
don't take three minutes time a day
to read your papers, and that is all
you need to spend to be posted. Most
of you think all you have to do is to
pay your dues and then "let George
do it." If you would quit talking
about the short crops and the low
prices and would talk politics to your
wife and family and to your neighbor,
you would soon get better prices for
everything you have to sell.
If farmers don't wake up soon, they

ANEW FRIEND
Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I will

partisan league, but I have advocated
the principles it stands for as explain
ed in your issue of August 22, which
fell into my hands today. The doc
trine taught in it meets with my red
hot approval.
Our lawmakers, both state and na
tional, are crazy in squandering the
people's money preparing for another
war. Therefore it behooves the pro
ducers in all lines to call a halt and
unite in our endeavors to bring mat

whole people.

GOOD IDEA
Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Why
not promote the sale of union made
goods direct to the people The same
agents selling such goods could sell
subscriptions to the Nonpartisan
Leader and Russell's book on the
League. Farmers should by all means
help to find markets for union labor's
products. They bought North Dakota
bonds. We want their goods.

THE SEARCHLIGHT
In its current issue, the Searchlight
(Washington, D. C.) puts into one
comprehensive picture the outstanding
official facts which show what Hard
ing and the "old guard" are doing.
The Republican legislative program—
the tariff, the taxes, tucking the farm
ers into bed with the railroads, re
pealing the excess profits tax, the
foreign loan refunding bill—all these
measures are' revealed in their rela
tions to the public welfare in the cur
rent issue of this valuable publication.
The personnel of the American dele
gates to the disarmament conference
is also discussed from the point of
view of their previous attitude toward
ihilitarism and secret diplomacy.
BURNS OIL IN ANY STOVE
Cheaper Than Coal or Wood—Gives
Twice the Heat in Half the Time
A wonderful new burner which
works in any coal or wood stove is the
proud achievement of the Interna
tional Heating Company, 4552 North
Broadway, Dept. 181, St. Louis,' Mo.
This remarkably simple and inexpen
sive invention heats stove and oven in

coal or wood. It gives one of the hot
test and quickest fires known, con
trolled by a simple valve. It is abso
lutely safe and can be put into any
stove in a few minutes. The recent,
big cut in the price of oil makes it a'
great money saver. The manufac
turers offer to send this remarkable
invention on 30 days trial to any
reader of this paper. They are mak
ing a special low price offer to one
user in each locality to whom they can
refer new customers. They also want
agents.' Write them today.—Adv.
