RETRENCHMENT KEY TO GRAIN GROWER POLICY New Administration of Grain Growers Body Stands for Business Efficiency Elimination of wasteful practices in administration and a close adher- ence to the plan of the Committee of Seventeen will mark the new regime in charge of the U. S. Grain Grow- ers, Ine., according to a statement issued last week at the Chicago offices by C. H. Gustafson, president; James K. Mason, vice-president, and Frank M. Myers, secretary.: The statement points out that while |- radical changes were made in. the board, the selections were made by a majority of the membership, rep- resented by elected delegates. “While compulsory pooling was not a direct issue, the time came when the dir- ectorate had to be either wholeheart- edly in favor of a pooling plan or in favor of the plan of the Committee of Seventeen,” the statement says. It asserts that the company expects to be in a position, to market grain for its members in several of the large markets within 90days. With respect to the attitude of the U. S. Grain Growers toward other organizations, the officers say they will do all in their pewer to make use of existirig organizations, “‘but not at the expense of sacrificing the original plan of the Committee of Seventeen.” The membership last week increas- ed 2,506, to a toal of 55.285. The increase in Minnesota was 198 and the aggregate 2,202. Henry Lau, of Tracy, new Minnes- ota member of the board of direct- ors, is one of the outstanding farmers of the state.

The main feature on the program will be the testing of milk for butter fat. Every farmer attending is urged to bring a sample of milk from each of his cows.

This should be followed with weighing of milk from each cow to determine her average production.

This demonstration will be held be- tween May 10 and 20 and will, ac- cording to present plans, surpass that of last year in almost every particular Five acres of land will be cleared of stumps and brush, the soil pre- pared and a crop planted, all in the same day. In order to accomplish this, prizes are being offered to the various farmers’ clubs which are ex- pected to participate. To the club which clears its allotment in the short- est time and in the cleanest manner. will be given a prize of $50 in cash. Other prizes will probably be donated by merchants of the county and be awarded as second and third prizes. The Tenstrike club has agreed to; provide the lunch at midday at a very nominal price, with plenty ta eat assured all who attend. Henry Mattson whose application was accepted as land clearing man- ager, is not able to serve this county this yean on account of his present connection with the federal land de- partment. Consequently arrangements are now being made for another land clearing manager and it is expected that one will be secured as quickly as possible to direct the- work in this county. ; The demonstration is expected to attract thousands of people both from within and without the county and in addition it will give the 1922 land clearing program a big start.

Peary, discoverer of the North Pole, was unveiled at Arlington National Cemetery here today. President Harding, Secretary of the Navy Denby and other high offi- cials of the government attended the ceremonies, which were under the direction of the National Geographic society. The memorial, which was fashion- ed from a design of Peary's sugges- tion, was unveiled by the “snow baby,” Mrs. Edward Stafford Peary’s daughter. In her youth, she was known as the ‘“snow baby” because she was born nearer the North Pole than any other white child. Her birthplace was in the far north head- quarters of one of the expeditions in the 80’s, by which Peary determined the northern coast line of Greenland. The memorial is a huge oblate spheroid of granite, representing the earth. On it is carved a map of the earth with a bronze at the spot rep- resenting the North Pole—symbol of the achievement by which Peary’s name will ever be remembered. The symbolic design of the monu- ment was conceived by Admiral Peary during his last illness and sug- gestions for it were dictated to his wife, who accompanied him on sev- eral of his Arctic expeditions. On one side of the base is the Latin mot- to, “Inveniam Viam Aut Faciam,” (I will find a way or make one) which was a favorite quotation of |1 the explorer. The inscription reads: “Robert THIRTY MINERS REPORTED HURT DURING PARADE Twelve Mounted Troopers Charge Into Parade of Strik- ing Miners at Masontown CLAIM OPERATORS HAVE BIG FINANCIAL BACKING Union Officers Declare Public Sentiment Will Force End of Strike Soon (By United Press) Brownsville, Penn., April 6—The first sign of trouble in the nation- wide coal strike was mude here to- day. .Twelve mounted troopers charg- ed into a parade of 8,000 striking Iminers late Wednesday at Masontown, 15 miles from here and dispersed them. Thirty of the miners were re- ported to have been injured as the horses swept into their ranks. (By United Press) Washington, April 6.—Big finan- cial interests are back of the mine operators, making them “powerful and arrogant enough to defy the government itself in the present coal strike,” Representative Browne of Wisconsin charged today. He as- serted that the railroads and the United States Steel corporation own 75 per cent of the coal mines of the country. These charges have been put be- fore the house labor committee, making an investigation of the coal strike and seeking to bring about a conference of operators and miners here Monday to end the walkout.

These patients will be cared for at the expense of the three counties contributing to the support of the Lake Julia insti- tution, It is understood that a number of cther similar cases will be attended to soon, if other treatment is not taken at once. The action of the county board in authorizing these persons to be taken to the Lake Julia home is commendable, since the presence of active cases in the com- munity is not desirable, especially when the afflicted persons mingle th the public. The Lake Julia san- atorium is now- able to care for a number of additional patients, since the coming of warmer weather per- mits the use of the porches as sleep- ing quarters.

Government Washington, April 6 (Capital News Service)— The government printing office is to discontinue turn- ing out so many free government papers. According to a report of the congrressional committee on printing, the climination of 246 government publications termed “unnecessary” will save Lhe country $2,000,000 per year. The proposal made also to consolidate the majority of the 350 printing plants which the government maintains throughout the country and which have cquipment which is val- ued at more than a million dollars. Previous years have seen slashes in the government publication appropria tions, but in many caf>s department officials have continued to publish their papems. using mimeograph in order to avoid the prohibition of “no printin The present plan proposes to eliminate these also, by forbidding the “ " of all publications not con- sidered absolutely necessary by the authorities. There is much throughout the affected dep: with the discontinuance of ations for many of these publi officials pointing out that the en saving of $2,000,000 is saving 2 cen a year for cach member of the enti pupulation by cutting off an educa tional effort on the part of the gov- ernment, the ramifications and in/lu- ence of which far exceeds its cost in value. Tn this connection the veto of President Wilson of a similar publica- tion-ax bill is recalled, with his words, “Congress should direct its efforts to the control of public moneys along broader lines, fixing the amounts to holding ‘he, artments strietly resy - use,” csaid the Japanese faith. 6.0.P. PLANNING MUCH STRONCER ORGANTZATION Plan to Allow Its Enemies No Opportunities to “Slip Anything Over” CONVENTION LAST WEEK STILL BEING DISCUSSED Miss Calihan Thanks Friends Here for Support Shown; Expresses No Regrets (Pioneer News Service) St. Paul, April 6—With the an- nouncement that Charles Adams had been named chairman of the Re- publican state central committee came assurances that the republicans were to organize in every part of the state in a systematic manner so that the enemy will have no oppor- tunity to “slip anything over.” In the corridors of the state capitol they are still talking about the en- dorsement convention of last week which ended in such complete har- mony for the republicans. The only present state officer who was given any sort of a scare at the endo: ment convention was Henry Rines, who was opposed for re-nomination for ¢ treasurer by W. C. Briggs, banker of Pipestone. Mr. Briggs dil get quite a scattering of votes but at no time came near having enough to obtain the nomination, which fin- ally went to Mr. Rines by unanimous king of the convention, one of surprises was the failure of Sloise Calihan to Feccive the nomination for clerk of the state su- preme court. By the time nomina- tions for this office were reached the delegates were tired and anxious to get away. It was late in the after- noon and there was much confusion, 50 much in fact that not many del- egates heard H. Z. Mitchel’s talk placing the name of Miss Calihan be~ fore the convention. There were six other candidates placed in nomination. On the ballot Miss Calihan received sand W. D. Stowe of Wadena ived 280, the largest number cast for any candidate. On the sec- ond ballot the votes cast for Stowe began to go into the column for Grace Kaercher of Ortonville and when enough had been swung Lo her to assure her nomination, the action of the convention was made unani- mous.. Onc incident - of ‘the convention which may have worked against Miss Calihan was an unexpected speech by a Beltrami county man seconding the nomination early in the convel tion’s proceedings, of Justice Oscar Hallam for United States senator. When Beltrami county afterward of- fered the name of Miss Calthan, the Kellogg delegates, strongly in the majority, had not entirely forgotten the action of the Beltrami county man. William T. Noonan, the Baudette newspaper man and candigate from the Beltrami district as a member of the Jegislature, is represented in a new publication by the Lincoln club of Minneapolis with a page of his pertinent paragraphs. The' Lincoln club publication is called the Lincoln Log and will be published monthly and circulated throughout the state. Miss 1. L. Calihan has this to say to her Bemidji and Beltrami county friends: “While the endorsement of the convention for the position to which I aspired went to another per- son, T could not feel more grateful under any circumstances than I now do to my loyal, carnest, devoted Bel- trami county friends who did the many fine things that they did do in my behalf. Nothing is so uncertai as politics and I have been an ol er too long to he disappointed. have no regrets and on the other hand I have the joy of the memory what my real friends did for me.” SPECIAL LENTEN SERVICE AT M.
