COUNTIES SELL WARRANTS TO WAR FINANCE! Some counties in the southwestern part of the state are taking oppor- tunity of the offer of the War Finance Corporation and twin city financial | institutions to purchase county war- rants issued to provide funds to pur- chase feed for livestock, according to L. F. Crawford, secretary of the In-| dustrial Commission, who has return-| ed from a trip into that section by di- rection of the Governor to aid the counties in negotiating aid. The war- rants thus purchased are to be re- placed by bond {ssues. Among the counties visited were Adams, Grant, Slope and Hettinger. According to Mr. Crawford many farmers in this section, where feed is scarce, must have sufficient feed to take care of their horses through the spring planting season. : The War Finance, in conjunction with twin city institutions, offered to take a total of $900,000 of warrants is- sued by counties to purchase feed. WAR FINANCE MAKES ADVANCES | | reat part of the First division, recog- nized as the greatest fighting unit of the American arnty in France, Gover- nor ‘Nestog, will no doubt have consid- erable difficulty in picking the, great- est hero from this state. There’ are several men in Grand Forks who have ‘een decorated for ‘bravery, and ad the First division participated in every major offensive there will be men all over the state who will be found to have citations tucked away with their discharges. - Local members of the Disabled Vet- erang say that the governor will have the co-operation of the adjutant’s of- fice together with committees in each town to handle the matter. / In-regard to the convention next June, it is understood that President} and Mrs, Harding will attend and it is also expected that Secretary of ‘Navy Edwin Denby and his staff will be there. If he is there that will in- sure a naval review in which the first and second line of battleships of the Atlantic and Pacific fleets will partici- pate, together with naval units repre- senting the five great powers of the world. Several foreign countries have already indicated that they will have representatives at the convention. Word has been received recently from third national vice commander, Myles J. Sweeney, New York, of the Disabled American Veterahs, that ne-| gotiations between a special commit- tee and A, D, Lasker, head of the United States Shipping board, ate progressing favorably, whereby one of the big American liners will be placed at the disposal of 1,000 disabled vets for three months, to make the trip; from the Atlantic coast through the Panama canal to San. Francisco, for the national conclave, returning via the same route. Stop-overs would be made at the ports of ‘Havana, Panama and Los Angeles. The cost of the trip would not exceed $1 a day per person. | H left, new director of the Bureau of Printin; id succeeding James F. Wilmarth, right.

Gen. BE. A. Williams, who was in- strumental in the making of arrange- ments for the meeting, believes that a thorough study of the irrigation problems should be made and that eventually the three states should join in presenting the problem to Con- gress. It is pointed out that the wa- ters of the Upper Missouri offered as good opportunity for irrigation as do some other streams which are being developed by the government. The meeting to be held here recalls two other state-wide meetings held in Bismarck for. the purpose of urging steps be taken to irrigate land in this section of the state. ‘The first state irrigation congress was held in Bismarck, October 20 and 21, 1903.

RUSS GENERAL UNDER ARREST FOR BiG THEFT General Semenoff, Anti-Bol- shevik Leader, is Held in’ New York New York, April 7—General Greg- orie Semenoff, anti-Bolshevik military leader in Siberia, was arrested at the Pennsylvania station upon his arrival here from Washington last night by Sheriff Nagle. In the custody of six deputy sheriffs, he was taken to the Waldorf Astoria hotel, where arrange. mefits were under way to have him re- leased on $25,000 bail. The arrest was made in a civil ac- tion involving nearly half a million dollars on an order issued by Supreme Court Justice Delahanty. General Semenoff was charged with the theft of woolen stuffs and furs yalued at $275,000, property of the now bankrupt firm of Yourevata Home and Foreign Trade Company, Inc. The theft was alleged to have been made in or near Chita, Trans-Baikalia, in 1919, The order of arrest had been re- quested by counsel for the receivers of the Lourevata company. Their re- quest was accompanied with Affidavits from Major General Wm, S, Graves, commander of the American Expedi- tionary: Forces in Siberia, and Chas. H, Smith, American representative on the Inter-Allied Railway committee. Both were said to have denounced the general in their affidavits referring to Bim as a “bandit” and a “ruffian.” JOIN EFFORTS ON BOXING BOUTS ‘Now that the clash of dates between Bismarck and Mandan as regards box- ing events has been amicably settled, Mandan putting on her card April 21, and Bismarck on April 28, it is asked that all fans get behind both events, as Mandan has promised to give the card at Bismarck the same publicity and support that Bismarck gives to the Mandan card, says an announce- ment of the promoters. Krause is an example of how the productive- ness of land may be increased by ir- rigation! It said: “A good illustration of this fact comes from Williston where Hon. E. C. Palmer built a small irrigation ditch five years ago, and each fall he filled the soil of a small tract of land as full of water as possible before the freeze-up. The result is that each season ‘the crop of blue joint grass raiged on this plat has increased un- til now it is twelve times what it was five years ago, and increases ev- ery season—the result being obtained from the once a year irrigation.” Among those who attended the first congress here wag J. J. Hill, the em- pire builder. The third irrigation congress was held in Bismarck on January 25, 26, 1905. The state legislature was in session and a committee was named to confer with the government on means of co-operating with the Congress.

D., April 7.—Tae city’s new traffic ordinance was passed by the city commission with one im | portant change, the elimination of the | clause compelling automobile owners to register their cars with the city | auditor and pay a registration fee of | one dollar, ; This clause was in the new ordi- nance originally, but since the last meeting the commissioners have been giving it careful consideration, and after weighing carefully arguments on both sides, it was deemed advisable to remove it from the ordinance, chief- ly because of the confusion that it would cause, although the police de- partment insists that such registration would be a great help in checking up cars in the city and protecting owners of the cars. | | |
