‘SATURDAY, MAY 11 NORTHWEST SOLONS GIVEN TARIFF AID BY FARM ORGANIZATION Fargo, N. D., May 11.—(P)\—Eco- nomic and statistical service to con- @ressional delegations of Minnesota. North Dakota and Montana will be the contribution of the Northwest Agricultural Foundation in the effort to bring the new tariff bill more com- Pletely in line with the program pre- sented by the foundation in behalf of these four states. This was the an- touncement made today by the Greater North Dakota association, which handles the secretarial work of the foundation. Dr. A. H. Benton, agricultural econ- omist with the North Dakota Agri- cultural college and who heads the group of economists assisting the foundation. is working out special ad- ditional briefs and facts relative to those items which the northwest hopes to have increased by congress. These, including such data as may be useful {n meeting the opposition, are being sent to all senators and congressmen from these four states. Dr. Benton also will be sent to Washington in behalf of the foundation's tariff com- mittee if his services there are needed. “The new tariff measure,” the an- nouncement declares, “mects a large number of the requests made by the foundation. On other items continued effort must be made, and on these the work must be carried on by congress- men and senators of the four states. Forces opposed to granting higher protection on high protein wheat, butter, flax, clover seed, alfalfa, etc., will undoubtedly furnish their spokes- men with expert assistance. It is only fair to our senators and congressmen that they be given similar assistance, This is the logical role for the foun- dation, and it will serve in that ca- pacity.” Stag Dinner Given For Philip Blank Philip Blank, New Salem, Morton county commissioner, whose marriage to Eleanore Jarvis, Bismarck, will take place next month, was a guest of honor at a stag party Thursday evening at the Hudson hall, Mandan.
