M. Russell, his assistant, in the broncho riding event of the third annual Mandan roundup, July 2, 3 and 4, “Bill” has called a “dare” of one of his boy- hood pals. The entry was contained in a let- ter concerning the western trip of W. M. Jardine, United States secre- tary of agriculture, from Mr. Rus- sell to John M. Stephens, superin- tendent of the United States North- ern Great Plains field statiow at Mandan, the largest experimental station in the United States operat- ed by the government. Secretary Jardine and John Steph- ens were both born in Maldd City in western Idaho and grew up togeth-| er. Both punched cows as youngs- ters and both developed reputations as “mean hombres with an outlaw.” Then Jardine went over into western Montana and punched cows four, years. Both turned to the scientific side of agriculture and Stephens prior to entering the government service, served as assistant to Jar- dine when the latter was head of the Idaho agricultural department, When Stephens was in Washington recent- ly he had a talk with his old pal, the new secretary of agriculture, who informed him of his intended tour through the west and his intention at Mandan. “Better come at the time of the tough brone to ride,” suggest Stephens. “I will if 1 can make retorted Jardine, “I'll let you know.” “Bet you can’t stick on an outlaw, bet you pull leather,” dared Steph-. ens. | “Bet I can still ride 'em straight up,” was Jardine’s response. Yester- day Mr. Stephens received a letter from F. M. Russell, assistant United States secretary of agriculture, say- ing in part: as originally outlined did not call for his being in Mandan until a little later than July 2, 3, 4, (roundup dates), However, I have made some changes and I believe there is every reason to believe he will be there at that time and will be ready to ride| as many bronchos as you can lead before him.” Secretary Jardine had planned on spending three days in Mandan with Superintendent Stephens, breaking his rather arduous trip which will take him west through Kansas, Utah, Idaho, to California, and back to the capital, through Washington, Oregon, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa. He will have a further reason for stopping. in Mandan.for his son, William, aged 17, now completing his sophomore year at the Kansas Agri- fultural college, is expected to come to the Mandan experimental station immediately at the close of his school year to spend the entire summer at the station in the employ of the agronomy department. Work in 14 experimental stations through the middle west, from the Canadian bor- der to Oklahoma, all seeking to im- prove methods of dry land agricul- ture, is directed from the Mandan station by Superintendent Stephens. “Ride ’em” ejaculated Mr. Steph- ens. “If he’s half ag good as he used to be, there aren't any of the horses at the Mandan roundup will feaze him. He’s a regular fellow, you'll like him, everybody does. Ride, I'll say Bill Jardine can ride.” CLAIM AGAINST COMPENSATION BUREAU UPHELD The decision of the Burleigh coun- ty district court, in which the claim of William T. Knowles of Bismarck against the Workmen’s Compensation Bureau was allowed by the court af- ter the Bureau had disallowed the claim, was upheld in a decision hand ed down today by the state supreme court. Mr. Knowles, who wag an employe of the State Highway’ Department, was injured while starting an auto- mobile belonging to the Highway Department on Oct. 23, 1923, Mr. Knowles had been given permission touse the truck on Sunday and when he went to. the department warehouse to put the truck away, Sunday night he found the warehouse locked and was told to take the truck to’his home and return it Mon- day.

GIVEN EUROPE BY HOUGHTON British See Significance of Address Made Before Pilgrim Society HELD AS WARNING President Hopeful Remarks of Ambassador Will Be Helpful to Nations (By The Associated Press), London, May 6.—The leading jour- nals of British opinion today em- phasized the significance of the ad- dress before the Pilgrims Society last night by the new American ambassa- dor, Alanson B. Houghton, in which he declared that unless a peace bas- ted on good will were reestablished in Europe, he feared the United States would cease to play a sympa- thetic part in the task of reconstruc- tion. Fresh from his conferences with State Kellogg, the latter of whom he j succeeds at the court of St. James, ithe ambassador reached the crux of| his address when he said: “The full measure of American, |helpfulness can be obtained when, American people are assured that the time for destructive methods | and policies has passed and that the{ time for peaceful upbuilding hes! come.” given conspicuous typography and earnest editorial comment this morn- ing. OWN RESPONSIBILITY (By The Associated Press) Washington, May 5.—While Am- sador Houghton spoke on his own responsibility in his address at Lon- ner, President Coolidge is very hope- ful that the Ambassador's inter- pretation. of the American attitude toward Europe will be helpful to Eur- lopean states and people. nomic situation in Europe is im- proving. The return of England to # gold basis and the probable early similar action in Holland are con- strued as favorable signs pointing toward stabilization and recupera- |tion on the other side of the Atlan- | tic. This favorable outlook is re-j; garded by the President as important in considering loans by American bankers to European industries or governments. He realizes however that American financiers must con- sider the situation in each country in relation to that country’s econom- ic policies and use discretion in de- termining where their assistance is |to be made available in practical ways. Private American loans abroad, the | President believes,: would be help- ful in some countries in restoring financial stability and correcting ex- change questions, while in other | countries such Joans would be of doubtful value. In the light of Ambassador Hough- ton’s remarks in London, it is obvi- ous «that the administration here does not intend to approve loans that might be used to bolster up military preparations by any Euro- pean country. DAWES GAINS NEW SUPPORT Robinson Says Vice President Has Power to End Debate (By The Associated Preas) Memphis, Tenn., May 5.—Vice President Dawes has in his own hands a great remedy for filibusters, one of the evils he had assailed as. promoted by Senste rules, Joseph P. Robinson of Arkansas, minority Sen- ate leader, said in an address today {before the Hard Wood Manufacturers Institute. This remedy is to reverse an old ruling of a previous Senate presiding officer, that a Senator is the judge of whether he is speaking to the question during debate. “The attack of Vice President Dawes on the Senate rules indicates & misconception of the true relation of the issue to the public inter- ests,” said Senator Robinson. “His ‘spectacular performance wheh ad- appeals since to editors and others who are in a position to give pub- licity to his views, disclose his con: viction that: what really is wrong with the political ices of the nation is its inability to function because of the obstructive processes indulged in by senators.” FORMER FINANCE MINISTER OF SWEDEN DIES Press) Stockholm, Swede * Stay 5.—For- Mer finance minister F.

Farm implements which he had purchased in Strasburg but a short time previously and was bringing back to the farm were found strewn about in the vicinity of the car. How the accident occurred, who is guilty, or how long he had been lying there dead before he was dis- covered by a passing car was a mys- tery today to his father-in-law, An- ton Senger, who was in Bismarck at the bedside of his wife who under- went an operation for gallstones at a local hospital this morning. One of Mr. Senger’s children brought ‘him word this morning of the gcci- dent, and he left early this after- noon for Strasburg, after receiving assurance that his wife was pro- gressing favorably. She was not ap- prised of the death of her son-in- law. Passersby who discovered the dead body lying in a heap said he looked as if his back and neck had been broken.

He said that the state is taking pro- perty from the Minot school board by telling it how it shall expend its money. He declared the law was a violation of the right to contract, provided in the state and national constitutions, and was a violation of the principles of representative gov- ernment.
