PAGE EIGHT CORN QUALITY | INNO. DAKOTA 1S HELD G00D Yield is Two Busheis Per Acre; Above the Ten Year Crop Average The corn yield in North Dakota this year is reported as 24 bushels per as compared to bushels last year and the ten yed erage of i bushels A. J. Surratt, North Dakota | statisti for the bureau of crop! estimates, United States Department | of Agriculture. | | i | 3 n a N ideal fall conditions with no extensive early frosts, permitted an unusual amount of corn to mature, the crop report adds. The total yield indicated is 16,464,009 bushels as compared to 16,764,000 bushels last | year, the acreage this’ y being | much larger. The quality of grain corn in North Dakota is estimated to be 85 percent of a high medium grade, compared with 96 per cent last year and the ten year average of 71.4 per cent. “Threshing returns show flax yields to have been extremely uneven and more or less disappointing over the greater part of the state,” according to Mr. Surratt. A late summer draught, which was especially severe in the northern and western parts ofthe state;/baised most of thé-cron to be ‘stunted. The state yléld is estimated at 5.6 bushels per acre, compared with 5 bushels last year, and the ten year average of 7.3 bush- els. Production is estimated at 959,000 bushels, compared with $00,000 bushels last year. ‘The state potato yield is estimated to be 79 bushels per acre, compared with 63 bushels last year and the ten year average of 87.3 bushels. This in- dicates a state production of 6,715,000 bushels, compared with 5,670,000 bush- els last year and the five-year average of 6,957,000 bushels. Yields are un- even in nearly all sections of the state, depending upon moisture condi- tions, but the, quality of the crop is said by Mr. Surratt to be favorable. Returns indicate 26 per cent of this year’s crop was raised for the market, he states. pe et i ORE MOVEMENT WILL BXCEED 66, MILLIONS Duluth, Minn., Nov. 15.—Shipments of iron ore from the head of the lakes during the present season will reach or exceed 55,000,000 tons, according to mining operators who based their predictions on’ shipments made to date.

Incidents in the Life of a Pres- ident-elect on Vacation Are Chronicled. BY HARRY B. HU} N. E. Al Staff Correspondent. Point Isbale, Tex., Nov. 15.—Presi- dent-elect Harding lost something on the first day of his vacation here be- sides the biggest tarpon that has been/ hooked .in Laguna’ Madre sin Democrats got control in 1912. The moving pictures will be used to prove that Harding hooked the tarpon | and that only hard luck and a soft} line enabled it. to escape. “Hey, I Lost My Pants” There will be no pictures, however, to praye the story of the pants. The} writer, however, takes watch and af. firms that as the launch Julia B. was| drawing away from Brazosantago| Island, ready to take the distinguished | fishing party back to the mainland,| the president-elect stood up in front! of the boat and iow to the evident | alarm ofthe halt\dozen women pres- ent: “Hey, 1 lose my pants!” It was immediately evident, how- ever, that the fisherman president-to- be has more than one pair of pants for he had a pair on and if he had, as he proclaimed, lost one pair, then he possesses at least two. Senator Hale finally disc missing presidential overalls instead of were in a tangle of clothing in the stern of the boat: ' Dignity is Natural It might appear from the above that Harding had lost also a third some- thing in the enthusiasm of his outing here; that he might have lost, or at least Waid aside for the period of his outing, the’ presidential dignity that he must henceforth assume in public. But not so. nity and stateliness jare natural role’ to him. He lays them aside only with the effect that the ordinary person requires to put them on. Z friends who are sharing his vacation {with him, hale fellow well met while they josh and indulge in horse-play, practice and celebrate. Harding smiles and sometimes joins in the persiflage as he did upon the an- nouncement of his lost. pants. But his jests and smiles are seldom spontaneous—almost always they are unmistakably forced, because he knows they are expected. Warm Up Harding did, however, warm up to enthusiasm in fishing after he had hooked the big one over six feet long. all who saw it agreed. The picture may later prove or disprove it. But he doesn’t expect to participate much in the hunting in which the ter- ritory hereahout abounds. “I enjoy fishing,” Harding says, “but IT never can find pleasure in killin; sentient animals.” \ Others, however, not so considerate to lure him into a quest for some of the deer, duck, quail, pheasants, wild hogs and other game in the wilds back of Point Isabel.

Havana, Nov. 15.—-American wo- | men, disturbed by the mounting cost of living, ought to come to Cuba. The trip would make them satisfied with conditions at home. Broadly speaking, prices in Havana are just about double the high mark in top y American cities. One cause, ig to dealers, is the | unpreced port congestion, ap- | parently wiin little hope of early ‘clearing, and which has resulted in | the ruin of hundreds of tons of neces- isary products. Whatever the cause, the island is going through a period of high cost, described by papers here j 88 more burdensome than that found | elsewhere on the face of the earth. 24 Cents Pound Even here where it is produced in sufficient bulk to supply millions else- sugar retaifs on the Havana around 24 cents a pound.

TERM One of Chief Matters for Consideration Washington, Nov. 15.—When Con- gress meets in December a bill will be introduced for a national forest pro- gram including better fire protection jfor the forests. “This step, following an agreement by all the industries in- jterestea, marks the first united move in this direction in this country,” says Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the American Forestry Association, which, announces the outline of feat- \ures'to'bée embodied in the “proposed | législation. The.plan calls for nation- | ernropriation of at least $11,000,000 a@ year. % Provisions of Measure | The provisions of the proposed meusure are two-fold—for a consider- able extension of direct federal activ- ity in forest ownership and produc- juon, and for the development with | federal aid and encouragement of sys- tematic policies in the several forested states to bring about ‘adequate forest production and reproduction. The program provides specifically, through co-operation between the government, the states ang, owners of timberlands, for adequaté protection against: forest fires, for reforestration ot denuded lands, for obtaining esser- tial information in regard, to timber and timber-lands, for extension of the national forests and for other steps essential to continuous forest produc- tion on lands chiefly suitable for this purpose. The following legislation is proposed: Adequate Policy Authorizing the Secretary of ‘Agri- culture, after consulting appropriate local agenties, to approve an adequate pouicy ror each state, covering fire. pro- tection, reforestration, cutting and re- moving of timber crops. Not less than $1,000,000 annually available for such co-operation with states. A survey of forest resources, production and forest requirements o! forest Provision for studies and experi- ments in forest reproduction methods, wood, ultilization, timber tests, wood preservation, developments of by-pro- ducts and other. steps to bring about the most effective use of the nation’s forest resources. ‘ Provision for a study of forest tax- ation, to assist ‘states in devising tax Jaws which will encourage the con- servation and growing of timber. Also of methods of insuring against forest tosses by fire. Provisions for more rapid replant- ing of the vast areas of denuded lands within the national forests, Appropriation of $10,000,000 a year for five years for the purchase of lands, which should be added to the national forest system, whether or not on the headwaters or navigable streams as such purchases are now limited. . Authorizing the addition to nation- al forests of lands naw in other forms of government ownership but found chiefly suitable for permanent forest production. “The very great importance of this program and the suggestion outlined cannot be overestimated,” ‘said Mr. Pack. : They affect every state in the Union and the business interests of every state which means that every man who wants to build a home who wants to get along, Will be affected by this important legislation. “It so happens this united move for a national forest policy,” continues and its importance to the welfare of every ‘citizen cannot be overestimated. The plan ties up with water power de- velopment .and the coal situation. When we put the millions of waste power to work, the coal situation will begin to right itself. Water power de- velopment and _reforestration should ‘go hand in hand. We aregat the door of great commercial development. Let us open that door.” The meeting which decided upon a j national forest policy was attended |by John Foley, representing the Asso- ciation of Wood. Using Industries; Charles Lathrop Pack and P. S.

TRIBUTE PAIR WAR VICTINS SUNDAY NIGHT (Continued from Page One) grant him something of this excess profit. Or you speculator, who with- out lifting a finger, probably his sec- retary signed the’ check, made. mil- ‘lions by the rise in value of a cer- tain stock which increased in price by reason of the war and the mis- fortunes of others? Why shouldn’t he subscribe to Bill Jones deficiency. Bill Jones by his efforts saved his stock company from paying tribute to the Kaiser. Why should anyone have made more than a reasonable profit from the war when 4,000,000 served practically without pay and 100,000 families put gold stars on ‘their ser- vi flags?- The four-fold benefit plan now before Congress endorsed by the American Legion is to my mind a most equitable measure and should receive unanimous support.- Oh, how I wish the members of congress who oppose this had been compelled to bear the cross of our enlisted men in France. The endless night marches, the mud, githe cold and. the’ interminable rain. If they had felt the cruel cut of the pack straps—that awful pack—eighty pounds of dead weight, on their shoul- ders, if they had had to struggle for ten to twenty miles a night through rain and mud, then into a cold un: heated billet, no change of clothes, out again the next day to tepeat—do you think they would hesitate to make up part of the difference between their former pay and the thirty dollars they were receiving. No, they’d bankrupt the country in order to pay themselyes adequate compensation and they wouldn’t call it a bonus either. And on the other hand service men, sol- diers, don’t think for a minute that the world owes you a living, when you’ve pail, this old’ world of ours wipes the slate clean and there’s no rebate. I've been too long out o: school to remember who it was who spoke of the ingratitude of republics probably a citizen of the first one, but it is true and is repeated in all history. It is now our duty to} rec- ognize this fact and without_rsent- ment resume our places and lend our efforts for the upbuilding of the re- public—our country. The average citizen does not, can- not get the point of view of the ser- vice man;,the average man thinks that the soldier is asking something for nothing. Fellow citizens, the soldier has given everything and received nothing. Of course you at home work- fed hardSand faithfully and well for the- sale of bonds and the various drives—did that duty ever require you to lie in a ditch all night, in mud and Water, knowing that if you raised your head, finis! Did it take you away from your home and family? I do not think the average soldier cares much about memorial buildings or monu- ments ,except as an incentive to the rising and future generation to deeds of patriotism. We would like to seo memorials of practical value. I should like to see this wonderful new bridge now under construction between Bis- marck and Mandan, known as tke North Dakota Memorial Bridge and on its rails bronze tablets with the names of every North Dakotan who was hon- brably in the service so that the thou- sands of strangers who pass between ‘bur gates may know that this magni- ficient structure had been dedicated to those who offered all they had to the service of their country. A few patriotic citizens erected the fine flag pole by the station, yet .how-many who see it know by whom or for whom it was placed there? Of course, ex;service men are not perfect, we don! from all walks of life it is but natural that many bring the uniform into dis- repute. We are sometimes condemned by our critics for being too impetuous, going off half cocked; but that is to be expected. Don't you suppose the same spirit which sent the men of my old regiment across the Vesle in July 1918 with only 30 gas maskg to the company and 40 rounds of am- munition to the man will make some rash mistakes today? Thank God for that spirit, if you service man didn’t have it we wouldn't be celebrating our victory today. Your soldier is senti- mental—your Mr. Citizen is not. _ Sometimes I think that it would be ‘a good thing if we had some of the | sentimentality of the French. Maybe %t isn’t sentiment, perhaps its another sense which we lack.

On certain holi- days the French women clean up the yards and decorate the graves. It hap” pened to be.such a.day as I went for- ward )for an inspection of our obser vatioh posts and passing through this cemetery I noticed two or three old women down on their knees in their best clothes trimming the graves of a few American soldiers buried there —pulling the weeds and putting fresh flowers on the mounds. I thanked them as best I could in my restaurant French and went on my way. There had been some desultory firing all {day and I noticed a couple of Boche | artillery observation planes flying low overhead. Upon my return a few hours later the scene had changed—a shell had plowed its way through the cemetery wall and exploded among the graves, the neat and orderly yard was a scene of ruin and desolation, I never knew whether the old women were caught by the shell in the mids: ‘of their labor of love or not, but I’ve joften wondered how many of us would ‘have endangered our lives to decorate lan unknown French’ soldier's grave. {Oh you relatives of soldiers who lie in France—let them stay resting in a ground more sacred than any we can consecrate. e A private soldier two years ago on Noy. {1th wrote this poem on the bat- tle field: NOVEMBER ELEVENTH y (By Private H.
