"If elected, I will not break faith
with the common people, but will
earnestly endeavor to support the
measures for which Governor Lan-
ger had sought during the past
eighteen months. HIS administra-
tion has been one in which human
rights have taken precedence over
property rights. Through his mora-
torium, in which I have the utmost
faith, thousands of people have
been kept from going to the insane
asylum on account of financial wor-
ries. This humane measure, which
he was the first governor to de-
clare, has since been followed in
fifteen other states, and in Mexico
and Norway--and more recently bY
the president of the United States.
"One of the outstanding achieve-
ments of Governor Langer's admin-
istration has been the restoration
of the $inancial credit of North Da-
kota. His refusal to sign more
bonds to increase the bonded in-
debtedness of the state, and his
determination to reduce taxes have
been instrumental in raising th~
value of state bonds from a low
point of sixty-two to their present
level which is over par. If elected
I shall strictly adhere to these fi-
nancial policies.

protection of the poor people in

HOWARD DAVIS
ROUNDS UP"BO"
IN B U R G LARY
Transient Disturbed In Burg-
larizing Thompson Store,
Runs Into Davis' Path and
Gets Run Into Coop.
The peace and dignity of the city
was disturbed Sunday afternoon by
the arrest and incarceration of a
hobo of several names for the bur-
glary of the Ted Thompson store
of cigarettes and some food.
In this little drama "Hod" Davis,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Davis, was
the hero, as he rounded up the be
and turned him over to the sheriff.
The hobo had gained entrance
through a window at the rear of the
store into an annex, and by whlt-
fling away the d~or Jam was able to
move back the restraining bolt and
get into the store proper. While he
was rummaging around, the noise
he made attracted the attention of
Bernie Dickinson, who had dropped
into the adjoining Dickinson store
for a moment, and through the clos-
ed door between the stores asked
what was going on.
The thief dashed out of the front"
door at this and made for the de-
their AAA wheat adjustment con-
tracts for the 1933 crop, and will
receive approximately $10,900,000
more later in the year as the first
payment on their 1934 crop con-
tracts.
Payments on the balance due
' from the 1933 crop contracts, also
corn and hog contract payments
will probably be made late in Sep-
tember or in October.

his flight, so he followed him to
the jungles near the water tank and
attempted to arrest him, without re-

GOV, WILL TAKE
BUT 120 CATTLE
HERE PER WEEK
Unlimited Head May Be Pur-
chased But Farmers Must
Hold Stuff on Farm For 90
Days.
Three cars of cattle purchased by
the government will be shippecI oul
of GOlva on Friday this week, ac-
cording to GCO. Wo~pka; surplus
cattle agent. Mr. Wceepka states
that he has received a list of fifteen
hundred head of cattle from County
Agent Rttas~ that are ready for
~nt, but according to the quota
allowed for this oounty, he can ship
O~ abo~ o~e hundred and twenty
per week. Therefore; at the present
rate, it, will take mor~ than thr~
nontl~ to move the ~ttle already
~ li~d.
~ounty Agent Russell, director of
the drouth relief service for Golden
Valley county, states that he will
continue to purchase cattle for the
government for some time yet.
However, according t~ the latest
rulings, each cooperator must agree
to hold the cattle on the farm for
a period of time not to exceed 90
days.
Mr. Wosepka states that when
,there was no limit on the number
of cars he could ship he had diffi-
culty in getting as many cattle as
he could handle per week. The
reasons given by the farmers hold-
ing surplus cattle was that l~ it
rained they did not wish to sell. The
rain did not come, therefore it has
been estimated that at least 3,000
head of cattle will have to be ship-
ped to the government as fast as
the quota will allow him to do so.

In a supplement to his executive
debt moratorium covering all forms

recognized that there are legitimate,

which should not be impaired by
moratoria."
He ordered the moratorium "shall
apply only to debts existing on June
28, 1934, and shall not apply to
debts thereafter created"
"There are cred~ rightfully

SAVE ALL FEED

Uncured, Make Fair Feed
For Farm Stock.

says Ootmty Agent Rtt~lL
Mr. Russell states that in many
fields there is a good ~rowth of Rus-
sian thistle left in the ~bbl~ after
the crop has been harvested. If the
stubble and thistles are cut and put
into the stack without curing out in
the swath or windrow it will make
~air feed to carry stock through the
winter.
Russian thistles are almost as high
in protein as alfalfa hay when cut
and stacked while young, The older
they get the less palatable the feed
they will make. He also said that
the protein content of the plant
dropped off very rapidly after the
thistles started to mature. There-
fore they should be harvested for
hay as soon as possible. Stubble or
straw stacked with the thistles while
they are ptIIl green will .improve the
quality of the feed.
It will require three to four tons
o~ roughage per head to feed an
adult animal from December to May
if the weather is favorable, ~kl Mr.
Russell.
Mr. Russell also said that feeds
low in protein should be supple-
mented with cotton seed cake to
bring up the protein content of the
feed. the
