The Independent Voters' association is fostering the election, which is aimed at curbing the radical political experiment in that state. One -North Dakota newspaper cites the following charges against the league : "Taxes have been tripled in North Dakota by league laws. "Marketing conditions, which were to be improved, are worse than they ever were. "The bank of North Dakota is insolvent. "The program of state marketing has been scrapped in favor of a co-operative marketing plan. "The state homebuilders' department has quit functioning. "The state insurance " department is more than a year behind in its payment of losses, and some of the 1920 claims will not be paid for two years. "Virtually every enterprise sponsored by the inner circle of the Socialist leaders is bankrupt,

We would sug gest that, in order to keep away from1 the doldrums, the league get busy on the following problems: The rent situation. The bootlegging ships from the Bahamas. Hunt up the Stillman case.

The symbol "I" had its origin in the word "intensity," and in certain languages other than English, this word is regularly used as we say "current." English writers used the letter "C" to denote "current," but in the interest of International unifomity this was sacrificed in order to gain other points. The letter "I" is now the aeepted international symbol. Q. What countries are included in the Near East? V. S. A. The countries included in the Near East are: Abyssinia, Afghanistan, Albania.

"Xot fully," replied Senator Sorghum, "But its conclusions are often as reliable as those reached by pro-1 lflr.ged debates and its processes are! rot nearly so vociferous." i

the" Consumers' United Stores company alone costing more than $1,000,000. "State money was deposited in 'league banks' and re-loaned by them to the political, gangsters for their private schemes. These schemes are now bankrupt, the league banks are bankrupt, and the bank of North Dakota is whistling for its money. "The state flour mill lost more in the first year of operation than it cost to buy the property." Only recently taxpayers procured an injunction against the receipt of deposits by the state bank. Their motive seems to be to save for themselves the proceeds of a $6,000,000 loan which the state officials recently sought to obtain in New York. The taxpayers allege that the bank is insolvent and they are unwilling that the proceeds of the bonds should be used to maintain the state enterprises which have been started. The New York Times, which can be relied

upon for the accuracy of its statement, says:

"The taxpayers are better friends of themselves than the officials chosen to represent them and now on their defense against a recall petition. The state bank is described as unable to meet its checks. The state is behind in payment of its salaries. The Non-Partisan league's chain stores company is in receivership. Its homebuilding association cannot complete the houses it began. Work has stopped on the state-owned mill and elevator, which were the hub of tha movement for the welfare of the farmers who believed in prophecies of the millennium through the ballot box. The Non-Partisan league is naturally said to be much chastened."

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Take It", "Up" LIKE GRANDFATHER'S CHAIR .1 went into a furniture shop today and a gentleman showed me a wonderful chair. When you sat in it, it seemed to wrap itself about you and tell you that all the troubles in the world could be put into your vest pocket! I wanted it very much. It was so beautiful and the soft silky fabrics told a story all their own. But I didn't get it it was TOO nice! I have been thinking ever since of the comfortable things in life that cost little in money, but which we tie to and wouldn't want to give up for anything like Grandfather's chair that we used to think was so wonderful. (And so did Grandfather.) It's the substantial, long tried and true that warms us in soul after all. The appreciation that comes from those who have known us long and have come to find our sincerity of heart a very sound test of our attitude toward life, means more to us than the frothy outbursts of newcomers, tho their words weigh heavy with honey and glisten as fresh polished gold. Like Grandfather's chair the simple "Thank yous" and "Pleases" never grow too old to be wanted and then to be wanted again. .There is a popular play showing in one of the large cities in which there Is a lady character very chic and clever. Her life, however, had been given over to tinseled pleasure wine and dancing and cigarets. All of a sudden she exclaimed that what she really craved was not these empty and killing things, but a cozy home where she could darn socks and rock babies. And to think that then the audience laughed! Like Grandfather's chair, the primary, simple, sweet and beautiful things loom before our eye3. And they stay and comfort when the other things cheapen and fall, like rotted timbers, into dust again.

GEORGE W. PERKINS It will be an interesting study to watch the check book stubs upon which n-r y Perkins will record during the next 'ue years, his idea of serving humanity. Young Mr. Perkins is a New York product, twentysix. His father was the late George W. Perkins, who climbed from office boy to head of the New 'f ''r a ) jumped over to J. P. Vw" Morgan's office as a partner. The elder Perkins was "angel" for the Bull Moose party. He retired from business at an early age for most men to tackle public service. His first idea was the betterment of relations between employer and employed. Mr. Perkins made small impression on this difficult problem, for which witness the recently split Washington conference. Next he sought to purify politics by financing what he considered to be the best end of the game. His one great effort in this direction, the Progressive party, turned the most enthusiastic convention ever held into a wake of unparalled political mourning when Roosevelt declined the 1916 nomination under Perkins guidance. The Younger Perkins has $40,000,000 to spend improving our brand of political effort. He has started by taking $1,900 job under Will Hayes, surely a competent practical demonstrator. It is his avowed intention to give his money to political campaigns to give the man who cannot ra'as a campaign fund for the backing of an idea, an equal chance with the fellow who can.

J After Dinner Stories Little Brother Bob was being taught his prayers. After he had .said them he climbed into bed and went to sleep. The next night as he climbed into bed he was heard to exclaim: "It's just the same prayer as it was last night, so good night, God!" In the office of the prison warden at Canon City, Colo., a clever and notorious swindler was being divested of the contents of his pockets. As each article was removed it was carefully examined, listed and then placed temporarily on a nearby desk. Among the articles was a badly tarnished silver dollar, barely distinguishable as money, which the owner gave up with considerable show of reluctance. At the conclusion of the search the prisoner pointed to the dull looking coin and in a suppliant tone, hesitatingly asked the warden: "Would you mind letting me keep it?" "Why?" asked the warden. 'Oh, just a little sentiment, I suppose," the prisoner explained. "You know, it's the first dollar I ever stole." Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years t Ago Today Patrolmen were given orders by I. A. Gormon, superintendent, of police, to order proprietors of cigar stores groceries, bowling alleys and other stores who had slot machines in their places of business to discontinue the operation of them. This order took effect immediately and the mach'nes were' taken from the various piaces.

PEANUT CROP VALUED AT MANY MILLIONS The American peanut crop is already valued at about 100 million dollars a year and its cultivation is spreading and its value rising. We are eating peanut3 and peanut oil and peanut butter in many forms and feeding hogs and cattle with peanut hay or peanut vines, and turning the meal or "cake" which remains after the oil is expressed, into pork chops, spare ribs and country sausage and into milk, cheese and butter. R. B. Handy of the office of experiment station, department of agriculture, wrote 25 years ago that "While the peanut has been cultivated in the United States to a limited extent for a number of years, it is only since 1866 that the crop has become of primary importance in the eastern section of this country, which seems peculiarly adapted to its production." He said that between 1865 and 1870 the rapid spread of the culture of the peanut was probably due to the knowledge of it acquired by the armies which operated in the eastern part of Virginia and North Carlonia. Before the Civil war we imported peanuts from West Africa, but today, notwithstanding the remarkable increase in the production of American peanuts, we are importing peanuts from Spain and Africa, and importing the nuts and their oil from China and Japan. What is a Peanut? The peanut is not a nut, it is a pea. It is a trailing, straggling plant, growing from one to two feet high, with thick, angular, pale-green, hairy stems and spreading branches, and it ripens its fruit or its peas or nuts, under ground. It is a strange habit. Small yellow flowers are borne at the joints where the leaves are attached to the stems and as soon as pollination takes place the flower fades and the "peg," as it is commonly called, buries itself in the ground, where the pod develops. Mr. Handy wrote, that the peanut, like many other extensively cultivated plants, has not been found tn a truly wild state and hence it is difficult to fix upon its habitat or the place which it would call home. So widely has it been cultivated in eastern countries that some botanists have attempted to trace its spread from China to Japan, thence through the East India Islands to India and thence to Africa, where in the seventeenth century it was so extensively cultivated and had become such an important article of native food that the slave dealers loaded their vessels with :t using it as food for their cargoes of captives. Pennsylvania leads the country in the number of colleges and universities, having 43 such institutions. New York stands second with 38.

Rippling Rhymes By Walt Mason THE MOVIES A million children, every night, behold the movie actors; in education, wrong or right, the films are mighty factors. And so the famous movie folk have influence unmeasured; their every move, their every joke, in youthful hearts are treasured. So they should make their lives so clean they'll sparkle in their beauty, and not seem angels on the screen, and demons when off duty. As artists true they should appear, and not as blooming smarties; they should cut out the booze and beer and all the frenzied parties. My little Willie goes tonight to see a movie story; the heroine is blithe and bright, all smiling in her glory; but someone whispers to the lad. "She goes her gaudy courses as though she hadn't whipped her dad, and gained fourteen j divorces.' And Willie in admiring j mood regards the hero's capers till SHE TOOK HER FRIEND'S ADVICE Now is in the Best of Health . Because she took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Detroit, Mich. "I was not feeling well for several years and never was able to eat any breakfast and always complained of a headache or tired feeling which at times required me to stop my work and rest. I have never cine for it until yours was recommended to me by a ne ighbor whom I used to visit frequently. I took four bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and now I am in the best of health and enjoy doing my work every moment of the day. It surely put life and ' pep ' into my system' Mrs. L. M.

It is "quite as often the woman who does her own work at home.

WOULD SLASH NUMBER OF CHICAGO SOLONS CHICAGO, 111., Oct. 22. Chicago may have her representation in the state legislature cut if plans of the state farmers' association are carried out. The executive committee of the association recently passed a resolution calling for limitation of Cook county's representation in the senate to onethird of the total number, although still allowing representation in the house to be apportioned according to population. A number of down-state farm bureaus have endorsed the resolution. The farmers call attention to the fact that all the other four states which have cities with more than half the population of the state, limit the representation of those cities. These states are New York, Maryland, Delaware and Rhode Island.

SAVED FROM STARVATION (From the Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.) Little Willie had been told that he must always wait patiently until he was served at meal3, and not to cry across the table or grab for his food. One day while dining at a neighbor's with his mother the little fellow was accidentally overlooked. He wa3 very patient for a time, but at fast could bear the strain no longer, seeing everybody eating but himself. So, leaning quietly across to his mother, he said in a loud whisper: "Mother, do little boys who starve to death go to heaven?" - Moral3 and ethics are among the new studies to be added this fall to the curricula of the public schools oi i;mcago.
