His t plied the money and machinery: he supplied dreams. Not satisfied to plant wheat according to the accepted method, he tried a new plan. He closed every other hole in the drills and planted the grain in rows twelve inches instead of six inches apart. He tried the plan on twelve sections, but on the thirteenth section he planted according to the old rule. Result: weeds destroyed twelve sections; one section .flourished and put forth good wheat. From the one section he harvested twelve bushels to the acre; from the others he harvested scarcely anything. It is said that his backers dropped $70,000. In his next trance he attempted to become the flax monarch of America. Near Beach, N. D., he planted flax on hundreds of acres and harvested mortgages and judgments representing a loss of $400,000. When the dreamer confessed that his liabilities and those of a- relative aggregated $431,-00and that his assets and those of said relative amounted to precisely - full-size- d year than it took in, and at that time wheat was worth a dollar a bushel. The grading system was just as burglarious. The elevator men, it was charged, habitually undergraded grain and often paid No. 3 prices for No, 1 and No. 2 grade grain. To abolish these methods the angry farmers united and along came Ar- thur Clarence Townley, failure, n social- ist, radical, visionary, hater. He employed fleets of Fords to carry his agents about the country and gather in members for his National Non-Partisa- n They speeded up and down the land raking in the money and holding out roseate promises of how Townley, like another King Arthur, would slay the dragon and bring justice and prosperity to all. He organized rural festivities, picnics, barbecues and more serious meetings in all parts of the state. His talk was old. It had been used again and again until threadbare in the Populist and Bryan campaigns. It was a ferocious indictment of Big Business, of Octopi, of robber barons oppressing the downtrodden. Its peroration was a sunrise of beautiful promises. The farmers were to forget that they were Republicans and Democrats and join in a big union to seize control of the legislature and make laws for themselves. League.

On the contrary, his notorious experiences served as an argument in his behalf. The farmers of North Dakota were at that very time fighting manfully with an octopus. Town-le- y had been ruined and could display himself as a horrible example of what a and energetic Octopus could do to a poor, downtrodden man. The farmers were in a rage; in fact, they were in a tantrum. Producing normally 80,000,000 bushels of wheat in their great state, they had evidence clear as the spotless snowdrifts of their prairies that they were being systematically robbed by the grain trust and the railroads. million dollars are lost Forty-fiv- e to the farmers of North Dakota every year through unfair grading rules for grain, Dr. E. F. Ladd, of the North Dakota Agricultural College told them. That settled it. The farmers clinched their teeth and grimly determined to gain control of the legislature and wallop the octopus. One method that especially angered the farmers was in vogue at all the elevators. A suction fan, which was put in ostensibly to blow away the dust from the wheat as it passed through the hopper to be weighed, blew away much of the wheat. On the records of the Minnesota State Railroad Commission is a typical case. One elevator, according to the record, shipped out 51,000 more bushels in a Non-Partisa- ! 0, 5431.50. might ITwhen f hands of Mr. Octopus. But Mr. Octopus was a mere pigmy compared with Boss Townley. In his palmiest days of palming cash out of his followers a metropolitan boss had nothing on Boss Townley. In fact, the ordinary varieties of bosses were pikers compared with Arthur Clarence. Hastening to the capital city he installed himself in a hotel with his chief aides. As the legislators came to town he sent for them and pledged them not to vote for any legislation that was not first sanctioned by himn self and his lieutenants, almost all of whom were socialists. Eighty-on-e members, a majority of the nouse, agreed to vote for the measures which he intended to put before the legislature. All bills originating in the house or that were sent to the house from the senate were submitted to Townleys cabal. If he indorsed them the noble ,eighty-onvoted for them; if he vetoed them the eighty-on- e voted Non-Partisa- star-chamb- er e against them. One of his bills sought to abolish the constitution of the state and substitute a Socialistic government for a Republican government. It proposed to take the lid off the debt and raise the limit to the Milky Way. School funds were to be loaned on bonds of the state and various Socialistic devices were to be put in operation. The house passed the bill, but the senate killed it. IT is unnecessary to rehearse' the stages by which Townley grew in irresponsible czar power and extended his league far and wide beyond the borders of North Dakota. The war gave him a big opportunity and proved his undoing. It revealed the demon of disloyalty in him despite his efforts at disguise. Not that he loved the kaiser or Germany,: but he showed that he hated his own government and sought to destroy it. Consequently he worked hand and glove with the I. W. W and every other seditionist organization he thought' '.would help him in his plan to annihilate our democratic institutions and establish Bolshevism. His facility for saying things with homely pith and point continued to blind most of his followers, but many of them saw right through his cam. Q ouflage. As an opponent of conscription he won thousands to his disloyal view- point thousands who, in their souls, were just good, honest, true Americans. Here is an example of his persua- siveness: I am for conscription in this war against autocracy. But let us not forget that we have an autocracy in this country that is ten times worse than any autocracy in Germany. I Am for conscription of men to fight this war, but this is a war brought on by the rich for their own enrichment, and I am also for conscription of the money to pay for this war. I am for conscription, but I want this country first to conscript some of the rich fellows to send into this war first, because the big bellied rich fellows will stop more bullets than the ordinary soldier. It was talk like this that set great numbers of farmers against conbonds, Liberty scription, against against anything and everything that made for the success of the United States in the war. But, at the same time, it alienated the sympathy of ardent lovers of their country among his followers. Their very souls were chilled by his talks and they were transformed into uncomfortable and unwilling associates of the hypnotic seditionist. Townley was arrested, indicted and convicted on the charge that he conspired to teach disloyalty. He is out on bonds and may not serve a prison sentence, but his influence is gone. NATIVE BORN PARROTS Before the war the United Sttaes imported parrots and other birds of the family to the value of approximately $1,000,000 each cyear. Most of the cockatoos came from Austarlia, while parrots and parrakeets were brought by thousands from Africa, Mexico, South and Central America, and also from the Isle of Pines, near Cuba. A few were shipped from Borneo and Java. . Naturally the war shortage of shipping terminated these shipments and old birds with vocabularies of from 75 to 100 words became almost priceles. be had at any price. Few were to X |
