One of the principal issues to come before the San Francisco gathering is the question of the convocation of an international air disarmament conference. A poll, taken of all the United States senators, congress- men, governors, newspaper editors, college presidents and other promin- ent citizens, expressed overwhelniing indorsement of the legion’s proposal to hold an international gathering in Washington to reduce military air forces, The suggestion also was approved by the Interallied Veter- ans’ Federation convention in Brus- sels, which represented the views of fighters from eight allied powers. Measures Urged Recommendations made by a num- ber of state conventions are that the national body should continue its campaign for the conference until President Coolidge agrees to invite the: European nations to confer. Legion men hope to induce the President to extend an invitation for the gathering, and they plan defi- nitely to consolidate legion opinion and action at the national conven- tion. A proposal to suspend all immigra- tion to this country for a period of five years appears certain’ to receive the consideration of legion men. Americanization for foreigners al- ready in America is proposed in a number of resolutions to be present- ed at the national gathering. It has been_suggested also that the legion support a bill providing for the d portation of all foreigners who have not become citizens within five yea: after they come to this country. The Iowa department will propose a resolution protesting the ie cet. tion of Soviet Russia by the United, States. Other departments: «have adopted similar resolutions. National and state laws to,prevent desecration of the national flgg and to insure that it be flown from every school house will be the subject of other resolutions. Liberation of. the so-called political prisonéfs also will be considered. Adjusted compensation will also come before the national gathering. Almost all state conventions held to date have expressed approval. of the bonus measure. The welfare of di abled veterans will be considered in detail, and the eonvention is expect- ed to consider the retirement of dis- abled emergency © officers. on the same status as’ those of the regula: army: ‘ Another issue to be discussed“will be the care of orphans of deceased veterans of the war. ..

Of N. D. Second To One State Fargo, N. D., Oct. 3—North Da- kota’s surplus honey yield is exceed- ed by only one other state, Montana. ‘The report recently sent out by the Divigjon of Crop Estimates of the vu & Department’ of Agriculture gives the rating of each state in average yield Sf surplus’ honey up to September 1, Montana_leads with 106 pounds average per hive, North Dakota is second with 88 pounds and South Da- kota is third with 84. That the North Dakota average will be considerably high by November 1 is the opinion of R, L, Webster, entomologist at the North Dakota Agricultura] college, who estimates that the average state- wide yield is more than 100 pounds. “The hives in the vicinity of Far- go,” saiq Mr. Webster, “should aver- age at least 200 pounds. The honey crop in this section of the state is especially good although the ndrth- ern counties do not have as much surplus ‘honey as they had last year. In 1922 North Dakota was the lead- ing state in number of pounds of surplus honey per hive, and I am con- fident that, even with the reported smaller yield in the northern coun- ties, that this year’s average when reported next month wil] show con- siderably better than it does this month, Fascist Control Brings Better Times In Italy Rome. Oct. 3.—As the first year of Fascist rule in Italy draws to a close, it is interesting to consider what has been accomplished in the agricultural and industrial life of the nation. It is believed that the in- creased energy and confidence on the part of landowners and farmers, together with favorable weather con- ditions, has started Italy on the road to greater production and prosper- ity. et The number of uneniployed has steadily declined; the official returns for the months of March and April, 1923, shows a reduction of almost one-half as “compared to the corres- ponding months of 1922. There have been practically no strikes or labor troubles since the Fascisti and their leader undertook to run the Government of Italy last October. The Ministry of Agricul- ture estimates that the gross value of Italy’s crops for 1923 will exceed that of 1922 by about 4,000,000,000 lire; the yields of wheat, barley and rye are about 23 percent higher than in 1922, and from 19 to 22 percent higher than that of the average for the last frve years, In addition, for- age crops, silk cocoons, vines, sugar beets and tomatoea have all been more extensively cultivated and have all been more extensively cultivated and have yielded larger crops. > Start Church On New Basis New York, Oct. 3—Every pastor of the Presbyterian church in the U. S. A., 10,000 in all, will receive during the next two weeks copies of q new plan for organization of synods, presbyterics and local churches, prepared by the Committee on Reorganization and Consolidation. This is one of the fipal steps the reorganization of the church which has been in procees for three years: The plan proposcs that each of the 301 presbyteries set up a presbyterial ‘council, a sghding committee on promotional program and field activ- ties, and standing committees on the work of each of tho four new boar foreign missions, national mi: Christian education and ministrel re- lief.

Stanley Pow- land has just protested at length against “the crime of noise,” in an article in the Nineteenth Centur, Motor-horns cause him anguish, mi torcycles fret his nerves, jazz music he cannot tolerate. But the growing noises of the home fret him as much as the inevitable racket of the street, the cafes and dance halls.

D., Oct. 3.—When winter comes this year one of the trusty in- dicators of the season will not be here to greet the cold blasts: and the chilling air. Butterflies were seen tries, is childish folly. “This Malthusian myth of over- population was exploded long ago, so one thought, but it has been resur- roted, and is again being made to do service in this anti-social campaign to redyct the birth rate. No one ob- jects to the restriction of the unfit, but to interfere with the birth of the fit—and this seriously is what is in- tended—is to invite disaster. Let there be no mistake about it, if the British Empire fal it will not be for lack of money, so-many seem to fear, but for lack of men, and be- cause sons and daughters have been influenced by the vapourings of a few seekers after notoriety and have allowed selfish interests to come between them and thes duty. “The State also has a duty in the master, namely, to insure that every parent has an income to enable him himself and his family in comfort and health.
