Wallace, secretary of agriculture, forsees better times in 1922. In a telegram to the editor of a western agricul-! tural paper he dares to prophesy. Also. he tells the farmers what they should work for, advice that is no less interesting than his prediction. Here is his statement: s “The agricultural outlook for 1922 is favorable. We shpuld see marked improvement over conditions as they have existed this year, Time will be required for full recovery, but we have reached the bottom and are on the upgrade. \ “The most important things farmers should work for are the perfection of their co-operative selling organizations with a view to putting the marketing of farm products on a thoroughly sound business basis, and the careful study of needs of the con- sumer and intelligent adjustment of production to these needs.” —0 BELTRAMI COUNTY’S SCHOOL FUND Beltrami county’s school appropriation from the state is a generous one this year. In fact, it is the most generaus it has ever been, according to the state auditor’s office. Only five counties in the state receive a larger apportionment, which'are: Hennepin, Itasca, Pine, Polk and St. Louis counties. The amount allotted to Beltrami is.$71,621, This amount is divided 'among the high schools, consolidated schools, semi-graded schools, graded schools and the different classes of rural schools. Beltrami county has the unique distinction of having the largest number of consolidated schools of any county in the state, the total now being fourteen. Considering the fact that the county is so large and so sparsely settled, this fact reflects creditably on the progressiveness of the rural communities in the county. Qs EVIDENCE OF COMMUNITY PROGRESS ‘Another mark of progress and community spirit was evi- denced in the Rosby neighborhood by the opening of a commu- nity chapel at that place. The people of that community have for some time felt the need of a gathering place for meetings of public nature and for religious services, The new chapel open- ened and dedicated last Sunday at Rosby will fill this need splendidly. The people there have shown what may be accom- plished by persistent effort. The funds for the building were all secured by donations, and the people of Rosby and nearby matched the money contributions of Bemidji people with con- tribution of labor in the building of the chapel. It is a fine indication of the splendid sterling character of the people in that neighborhood and shows that they realize the importance of the social and spiritual development of the people of the community. g 0 DOWLING MEMORIAL FUND It’s too earlyfor the count as this is written, but there seems to be the best of reasons for believing that the Michael J. Dowl- ing memorial fund of $100,000, for building a hospital for crip- pled children, has either already been subscribed or soon will be. The Minnesota Editorial association is sponsor for the move- ment to raise the money and there will be no failure. Bankers of the state M/e pledged $25,000. Minnesota’s “man of grit” would ask no¥iner memorial. E OVERHEARD BY EXCHANGE EDITOR !PWWM That man Davis, our energetic Secretary of Labor, certainly has some very sensible notions in regard to the immigrants who are flocking to this country. Himself a naturalized alien, he told the House Immigration Com- mittee that what this country needs is a compulsory registration law for all aliens, including the millions already here and those eager to come. “Every alien ought to be registered, and it should be mandatory,” he, said. “We A ought to keep tab every three months on the foreigner who wants to become a citizen, to help him along, and to show him something about our system of living and government. The big thing is to protect the alien from those who are taking advantage of him.”—Brainerd: Daily Dispatch. “Tl}c Law of Supply and Demand” was the chief topic discussed at a convention of casket manufacturers. The automobile is responsible for a large percentage of the supply.—Stillwater Daily Gazette. = NOTICE!=— ; Oqtober Ejecfric Light Bills ARE NOW PAST DUE and Mfist Be Paid By November 25th ‘ Please help us by your co- operation in paying your bills and thus enable us to give the most efficient serv- ice possible. | MINNESDTA ELECTRIC LIGHT & POWER GO, - ELMER E. SWANSON ¢ ‘Washington, Nov. 16. sentatives of Great Britain and the| | Dominion in general ~will perhaps| |have a controlling interest in the | Washington arms conference. The | The repre- personalities of their representatives/ zre therefore of the keenest interest| to the people of America, who have {high hopes of the result of the meet-| ing. ' Great Britain DAVID LLOYD GEORGE, Prime| Minister of England and chief of the British -Empire delegation to the Washington conference,. gives. Amer-! icans the impression that: he would| make a fine poker player.. His eyes| |always sparkle; his little tuft of white| |mustach conceals his mouth; and his |manner is always that of a man rub-| bing his hands just before attacking a| _ |sizzling beef steak. He seems to be always feneing with political enemies, and beating them. - The admiration one hears-of him in England is mostly for his agility. Persons.who do not admire him, usually despise him. He tells the story on himself of the man who was being awarded a medal for isaving a ‘man from dfowning, and who modestly disclaimed his heroism, saying, “Really, I have done nothing to deserve this reward, I saw the man struggling in.the witer and there was no one else by so I jumped in, |swam to him, turned him over to see |that he wasn't' Lloyd George and then |pulled him out.” (Note: ' Lldyd George'’s: presence at the conference is still in doubt.— United Press.) LORD RIDDELL, who accompanies the British delegation at the Washing- ton conference as a sort of expert publicity representative, is a.good buffer. He came to the ‘fore in this capacity at the Paris peace conference where he enjoyed the position of try- ling to get as much news as possible out ‘of the officials and at the same time trying to make the newspaper- men satisfied with as little news as he | could give them. That he did this and Istill kept the confidence and respect of both sides shows what a good buffer he is. He will have this same posi- tion at the Washington conference because he has done the same thing to each of the important international conference since Paris. He is a pleas- ant man to meet. He is tall and slen- der, always plainly dressed and is completely unaffected. He is first of all a newspaperman. His Sunday pa- per, “The News of the World,” is phenominal. Unattractive, plain, not dynamic or rushing - like American papers, it seems to a journalist to have nothing to commend it, yet it has a circulation of 3,000,000, Near- ly every policeman, servant girl and chimney-sweep in thé United King- dom depends on it for a pleasant week end. And Lord Riddell has built the paper up with'his sympathetic under- standing of the little things that bring joy or sorrow, that provide the peity romance of the commonplace life. GENERAL THE EARL OF .CAV- AN, ‘who heads the British Military Mission, comes of a famous' Irish fighting family, which, for over 300 years, has supplied the British army with gallant sons. Nearly eyery earl —he is the tenth holder of the title— has served in the army. A vigorous man -of 56, the earl is a typical Brit-, ish Guardman, elegant, strict disci-, plinarian, but with a charming per- sonality. | African war 'Guards. battalion commander, he became suc- cessively commander of a brigade of guards, He then commanded the with the took a British army to help the Ital- ians, Cavan. became his right-hand man succeeding him as commander- in-chief of the British forces in Italy. The Italian commander-in-chief de- clared that Cavan’s army was the de- |cisive’ factor in the Piave victory. " ARTHUR HAMILTON LORD LEE, First Lord of the Admiralty, one of the three ‘members of thei English delegation at ‘the Washington’ confer- ence, is well acquainted with the United States and has long been a strong- supporter of ‘Anglo-American friendship. His American wife, for- merly Miss Ruth, Moore, daughter of John Godfrey Moore of New York, has been a big asset in his political life. Lord Lee was a good friend of President Roosevelt, their’ acquain- tance ripening during the Spanish- American war when he was a British military attache attached to the head- uarters of the Rough Riders in Cuba. Eord Lee was educated as a soldier and served in Hong Kong, Canada and as military attache at Washing- ton. and directed the military survey of the Canadian frontier and explored the route to.the Klondike. ARTHUR JAMES BALFOUR, one of ‘the three ‘English delegates to the | Washington conference, is one of the ‘last of England’s gentleman-diplo- ats. He was educated to be'a states- M| man, engaged .in affairs of state at the age of thirty, is still a statesman now at seventy-three and gives little sign of stopping. Balfour has: held most of the important. offices in the British government. Many disagree with his politics, but'he embodies the il | graceful courtliness, the eminent dig- 3| nity that mean to older England the romance of diplomacy. He is tall and H imposing, slightly bent, and still vig- il (orous. Whenever work: begins to be a strain he leaves it. He is a bach- elor. ADMIRAL BEATTY, who will be England’s chief naval expert, has proven himself a worthy successor to Nelson, Drake and other famous Brit- ish sailors, and future -historians will doubtless rank him with those heroes, if enly for the fact that he command- ed the greatest battle fleet the world has ever seen in the world’s biggest war.

HANKEY, the principal secretary to the British dele-| gation at the Washington jconference, is to any British diplomatic mission what gas is to a balloon. With him they can expand, put on a bold, solid front; without him they wilt. He is the complete secretary. He handles important groups at conferences like a pleasant nurse handles the children at a tea party. He knows at what moment they are likely to call for their diplomatic blocks; when they will probably(tire of the blocks and cry for a ball; at what moment they will call for a rattle. And he is al- ways ready with the desired article. At the Paris peace conference he was! so apt at knowing what would be wanted,sand having it handy, that per-| sons of delegations other than the| British came to depend on him and his attache case. Clemenceau used| to enjoy this especially. ‘‘Come on,” he would say when some document was needed,.*'pull it out of that bag cf yours.” . He acquired such an ad- miration for Sir Maurice that when he met Lady Hankey one day, he put his hands on her shoulders and said, “Madame, I think your husband is the best man in the world.” | MAJOR GENERAL JOHN FRED- |ERICK ANDREWS HIGGINS, Vice- | Marshall of the Royal Air Force of Great™ Britain, will probably come closest of any of the British visitors to looking like what the average American thinks an English aristocrat looks. He is tall, neatly built, par- tially bald, wears a small mustach He has had a striking military career, having becg one of the pioneers British military aviation.

Australasia - | SENATOR i GEORGE , FOSTER PIERCE. From carpenter to minister of defense of one of Great Britain’s dominions; from a rot-hot labor union- ist to a'moderate nationalist and red- hot preparedness advocate. That rep- resents, briefly,-the career of Senator Pearce, Australia’s ,.delegate to the disarmament conference. - Pearce is fifty-one years old; tall, serious-look- ing, and with a general appearance which a friend described as “Well, rather a rough;diamond.” After an education in-Awstralia, where he was born, Pearce became a carpenter. He forsook his work-bench in 1894 to hike 400 miles in the great Australian gold psh. - He'became an active con- vert to labor organization, and began his public career as a trades-unionist Pearce was elected to the | organizer. Shortly afterward he 'was elected as a labor member to-the first federal senate. of Australia. He has been a member continuously since, and has been minister of defense—his pres- ient post—almost continuously since 11908. . Senator Pearce has. been in in- ternational politics since 1911, when {he was delegate to the Imperial con- ference at London. He is given cred- it largely for shaping Australia’s pre- war preparedness-program. ‘He “be- lieves in a “White Australia,” and'en- courages “White” immigration. SIR.JOHN W.
