Straw, dried leaves, bark, cotton seed and thistles have become staple articles of food in the famine districts and those who have survived hunger have perished in thousands by tae sword wielded by raiding, fanatical Mohammedans. Eighty thousand troops, ineffectual in-checking the uprisings, remain in the province helping to devour the small supply of food which remains. In one city the people, unable to find even grass, ate the earth on a hill. Their appetite was appeased and word spread that the gods had answered the prayers for help. Hun- dreds of others flocked to the hill, ate of the earth and died. The price of grain in the stricken areas has gone up to $100 a picul, or 133 pounds. The highest price reach- ed in any previous famine was $30 a picul. It is estimated that 000,- 000 will be needed to provide food for Kansu until the next harvest time, which will be in June, but there will be no harvest unless seed grain is sent to the farmers, and seed grain sent without food would be devoured. History shows that from the year 636, when the Nestorian missionaries arrived in the country, until the present time, there have been 246 disasters of major size in China. These do not include food shortages or guerilla warfare, for the latter are, to the Chinese, part of normal life.

As far as the memorial building was concerned, there was only a legal opinion by City Attorney Young to consider. He held that sections 4016 and 4017, subdivision 74 of section 3818, compiled laws of 1913, conferred full authority for the city to submit to the voters a proposal for the issue of bonds for a public building to serve for the purposes of an armory, public baths, community center, and so on, while the building proposed under house bill 226, of the last legislature, was so thoroughly in the nature of the purposes enumerated in the other law that it would be perfectly legal to unite the proceeds of a city bond issue, as proposed, with county moneys for a joint city-county me- morial building. Fargo arrived here last night and today, to participate in the annual meeting. A. J. Clemo, secretary at the home office in Helena, came in on No. 4 to join in the business and festivities. Harry R. Cunningham, president of the company i.d one of the big opti- mists of Montana, was desired here, but he is in Seattle on Lusiness of the company and couldn’t come. He sent a telegram, instead, conveying his greetings to the meeting and ex- pressing regrets at inability to be in attendance. With it went his best wishes for a good time and his pre- diction that the Cook and Haggerty agency probably would lead all agencies in the amount of business transacted for the year. James Morris, attorney general, maintained his reputation for grace- ful speaking, in an eddress of wel- come to the agents. The response was made by J. H. Fisher, general agent at Fargo. F. L. Conklin, secretary-manager of the Provident Life Insurance com- pany, gave an example of the splen- did courtesy existing between com- petitors in the insurance business here, by a talk on “The Agents’ Re- sponsibilities.” C. C. Hoskin, in charge of agencies of the Provident Life, showed the gathering that professional good fel- lowship runs in pairs in the Provident Life, by a talk on “Days to Come.” The ements opened by a chorus song and afte? the luncheon at the Prince, the afternoon session was As to the airport, after some dis- cussion of a tract that can be leased M.

The maxi- mum sentence for a first offense would be four years and the fine. It is said to be the most severe liquor Jaw in the United States. Governor Fred W. Green has indi- cated he will sign the measure, and the action of the legislature virtually makes the bill law. - Dickinson Students Win Boys and Girls Declamatory Meets Dickinson, N. D., April 19.—Stu- ents from Dickinson, Halliday and famine sufferers is to sell the women and children, to, those who, they hope, can give them food. At present the market price of marriageable girls in stricken provinces is from $2.50 to $7.50. There are few buyers. MINNESOTA COUNTY ROADS WILL GET AID Conference Legislative Commit- tees Agree to Divert Gas Tax Moneys St. Paul, April 19.—(4)—Agreement on the house bill providing for dis- tribution of one-third of the gasoline tax diverted to secondary roads was reached today by conference commit- tees from both houses of the Minne- sota legislature, and the conference report will be passed this afternoon. Attempts to amend the bill to per- mit counties to use some of the money on state aid roads were stricken out, although Senator C. E. Adams of Du- luth voiced his objection to elimina- tion of the amendment. The commit- tee agreed to retain a senate amend- ment permitting use of gasoline tax money on streets of unplatted por- tions of villages. Under the measure, as agreed on by the committee, each county would re- ceive a minimum of three-fourths of 1 per cent, or a minimum of 3 per cent of the gasoline tax fund to be distributed each year. The bill sets up a system of county aid roads, in whose improvement the county and the townships would share. County commissioners could desig- nate any road outside the state aid and trunk highway systems, and would be given authority to spend the money as they see fit without ap- proval of the highway department. REBELS ARE KILLED IN SURPRISE ATTACK Nogales, Ariz., April 19.—(#)—A reb- el lieutenant colonel and several sol- diers were killed in fighting this morning at Sasabe, Sonora, Mexican federal authorities here announced today.

NEWEST WRINKLE IN BOOTLEGGING FOUND New York, April 19.—(AP)—Cus- toms agents seized 130 bottles of liquor on the liner Ile de France to- Gay as bootleggers were fishing for it from the roof of an adjoining pier. Officials said the method of land- ing the liquor, brought over by crew members and without the knowledge of ship's officers, was apparently the newest wrinkle of the bootlegging business. The French liner piers are between those of the Cunard and those of the White Star line. Usually one of these is vacant and bootleggers de- vised the scheme of climbing to the roof of the unoccupied pier, walking across to the roof of the pier where the incoming liner was docked, and letting down a rope for the crew members to fasten the bags of liquor bottles onto. The liquor then would be taken away in a motor boat. ANALYZING STOMACH OF HIGH SCHOOL GIRL Grand Forks, N. D., April 19.—(?)— Analysis of the contents of the stom- ach of Verna Ellingson, Crary high school girl who is believed to have died from an overdose of insulin, will require at least two days, Dr. G.

G en Your Children Cry for It Mothers, who take one simple pre- caution, are seldom worried. With a bottle of Fletcher's Castoria in the house they can do what their doctor would tell them to do, when baby is fretful, feverish, colicky, constipated or stuffed-up with cold—give a few drops of this pure vegetable, pleasant- tasting preparation. It comforts Baby and soothes him to sleep in a jiffy. It’s perfectly safe for the youngest infant. Use it freely—and as often as needed, speciaiists advise.
