A. Campbell, agri-| cultural development agent for the} Northern Pacific Railway, whose) headquarters are at Missoula, Mont. | Widespread interest in this industry is evidenced today throughout west-| ern Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana and he said that interest | also is developing in steer and calf feeding. He pointed out that in 1929} Practically no lambs were fed in the Red River valley, while in the 1931- 32 season nearly 200,000 of these ani- mals, shipped from the ranches of Montana, were fattened for the mar- ket in the valley. | This valley, Campbell said, for| years has been known as the “bread| basket of the world” because of its! extensive wheat production, but con-| tinuous cropping to wheat is no long- er possible because of the difficulty of controlling weeds and maintaining | soil fertility, and a more diversified] type of farming now is necessary to keep up crop yields. This calls for the! introduction of livestock and fatten- ing of lambs and steers is declared to fit_admirably into the program. This area has dependable yields and, as feeding becomes more and} more established, he forecast that it would furnish a permanent and de-| pendable outlet for Montana steers. It lies almost midway between the Tange point and terminal markets, so that back-hauls are not necessary and feeding in transit privileges offered by the railroads permit stopping to feed with only a nominal additional charge for a car. Thus the costs of getting the stock fattened and on to market are kept at a minimum. Campbell pointed out that contract feeding is necessary during this per- tod of limited credit and low prices, but he forecast that the farmers of the Red River valley territory soon can be expected to be on the market each year as dependable buyers of Montana lambs, steers and cattle.

The fifth victory came in Preventing forced retirement of 2.000 regular army officers on the rolls.” The Legion has had a continuous fight to protect the rights and privi- leges of disabled veterans this year. the national commander said. Among the accomplishments of this charac- ter, he listed: The extension of the five-year term government life insurance bill spon- sored by the Legion. This measure has now been signed by the president and thousands of veterans have been enabled to retain their insurance, which otherwise would have been dropped because of the increase in rates. The Legion's request for a reduc- tion of interest on adjusted service loans from 4% to 3% per cent. Successful opposition to an attempt to reduce payments to disabled veter- ns amounting to some $48,000,000, ‘without proper hearings. Stevens said the Legion's service in rehabili- tation for veterans has resulted in an unusually large amount of cash re- voveries for veterans in claims. “The claims work carried on by the Legion has exceeded by $1,052,739.30 the amount of cash recoveries for vet- erans of a year ago,” he said. “And for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1932, has totaled $7,509,126.93. Particular emphasis this year has been placed upon the review of old claims in the veterans’ administration resulting in thousands of claims being reopened and successfully brought to @ close on behalf of veterans,” he) added. Scores Government Attitude The national commander declared it “perfectly outrageous and beyond comprehension” that the government, during this period of ecomonic strain, tried to economize at the expense of the disabled service men. first concern of the Legion be the rehabilitation and talization of those poor wounded service com- who were not privileged here to America and b> d in body and mind at our line by the wives they left be- or by the little children who dependent on them, or by the mother or sweethearts. They came not strong and able to take place in society as useful mem-/| but as human wrecks. “That Legion job will not be over every odctor that is needed is available, until every hospital built and the nurses are o/ their ‘The second great care of the Le- gion, the national commander said, 4s “to provide a protective arm about those children whose fathers sleep in ‘The continuation of the program increase beneficial legislation in be- of is the outstanding the child welfare | this year, the commander BeRgES iia? if fu FEE Hi organization of the national rehabil- itation service, which has resulted in all organized legislation for the good of the disabled and their personal care, with the Auxiliary expending last year, the approximate total of a half million dollars in this program of personal care.” Mrs. Morris pointed to the work being done for America’s under- privileged children of through the income on the $5,000,000 endowment fund raised for this work. “This ‘Auxiliary mother,’” she said, “last year, in cooperation with this | unselfish 59,932 children of veterans, spending | the approximate total of $522,400 in | their care.” Mrs. Geelan told the Auxiliary delegates of an investigation con- ducted by the Americanism commit- } @ into communist activities in North Dakota. Over an eight-month period, from | September, 1931, to April, 1932, Mrs. | Geelan said, the Communist party in| North Dakota held 46 public mect-! ings, in addition to their regular! meetings. Five subsidiary organiza-| tions are operating in North Dakota, the survey shows. In 1930, Mrs. Geelan said, the Com- | munists polled 5,754 votes in North | Dakota, with nine counties giving the | Communist candidate five per cent{ county 11 per cent. | “The longer Communism is allowed to stay in our state,” Mrs. Geelan said, “the more of these groups there | will be, and the more nuclei of dis-j content we have in North Dakota, the| harder it is going to be for the American Legion and the American Legion Auxillary to “safeguard and] transmit to posterity the principl of justice, freedom and democracy.

League Fights Abuse Of Pension Measures New York, July 26—(?)—The Na- tional Economy League reached the organization stage Tuesday in a fight to eliminate what its sponsors call the “legalized abuse” whereby vet- erans not disabled through war serv- ice receive “at least $450,000,000”" also seeks other governmental eco- nomies. | Major General James G. Harbord |was chosen presiding officer for this \first national meeting of the league, attended by delegates from more than 20 states. The speakers’ list in- cluded Royal C. Johnson of North Dakota, Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, who heads the league’s New England committee, and Archibald B. Roosevelt, Grenville Clark, and Charles M. Mills of the New York committee. The league had its inception last May when Clark, Roosevelt, and other ex-servicemen met to protest what they considered a “racket.” They sent to President Hoover and congress a petition concerning the “non-disabled veterans abuse.” A national committee and other of- ficers are to be chosen. Says Big Bootleggers Being Crowded Out Washington, July 26—(7)—The act- ing federal prohibition director be- lieves that big-business bootleggers are losing ground to small-scale com- petitors. That's the way Howard Jones, act- ing chief in the absence of Amos W. ‘W. Woodcock, summarizes informa- to| tion obtained personally and from his| men in every prohibition district. No exact figures on this trend have been compiled, but Jones says his agents lay it in a large measure to keener competition crowding “big fel- lows” on whose activities the bureau} concentrates, | Jones says agents report that) “green corn liquor” is bringing low prices in sections of the southern corn belt that barely meet cost of elim- inate margins of profit by large scale bootleggers operating expensively | eq “There isn't the money in it there was,” is the way Jones explains it.

Police and hospital attendants found Griffith calmly eating din- ner, while his wife fluttered about the table, wringing her hands. “He's dying,” she implored. “He said he was tired of living.” Griffith smiled easily, and had a deprecatory shrug for his wife’s alarm. “She is mistaken, gentlemen,” he said between bites. “I have taken no poison. I am a busy man. I have an appointment in @ little while, and I won't go with you.” But they took him anyway. He walked from the ambulance to the hospital entrance. There he fell dead. Wheat Freight Rates Subject of Argument Seattle, Wash., July 26.—(7)—Urg- ing that wheat freight rates between Montana and Seattle, and Montana and Minneapolis, and Duluth, be equalized, R. 8. Orr, manager of the Montana flour mills of Great Falls, attacked Seattle's arguments for re- {tention of the lower rates before In- terstate Commerce Commission exam- iners here Monday. Orr urged that the 39 cents a hun- dredweight from Montana to Seattle be raised, or the 42-cent rate to the Great Lakes be lowered to put them on a parity.

Chairmen of committees studying rail requirements of numerous com- ;Modities reported satisfactory trans- three months with forecasts of mod- erate shipments during this quarter in |most fields outside of agriculture, where the crop movement is expected to be heavy. The report for Minnesota, signed by A. A. D. Rahn of Minneapolis, called attention to the government forecasts for a good crop in his state. It reported reduced building activity, a smaller volume of merchandising, but hopes for improvement if pros- Pects of a big harvest materialize. For North Dakota, P. A. Lee, Grand Forks, reported no transporation problems, favorable crop conditions, and an increase in lignite shipments during the quarter which ended July 1, “Transportation and other business conditions in North Dakota depend upon crop yields and prices,” he said. “Out-bound tonnage undoubtedly will be heavy for the crop season but un- less there is a decided improvement in prices for farm products, the in- bound movement will be lig Crop conditions are favoral said. Corn Trifle Backword “Corn is a trifle backward but a few days of corn weather will bring it up to normal,” he reported. “Grain is filling well. Early planted spring wheat and barley are in the dough stage. Harvesting of rye, barley and carly oats has started in the southern part of the state. Owing to the heavy growth of straw, much grain is badly , he 84 | jodged, especially durum. Hail dam- age has been about as usual up to this time of the season. “Grasshoppers are increasing in scattered localities. Newspaper re- ports indicate that in some sections parasites are killing off the hoppers in large numbers. Poisoning where- ever tried seems to have been effect- ive in controlling them. They un- doubtedly will cause considerable damage to late crops.” Lignite shipments for the quarter |ending July 1 show an increase of 1,868 tons, Lee said. Intra-state ship- ments decreased 3,208 tons, and inter- state shipments increased 5,076 tons. The shipments for the three months period was 14,466 tons interstate and 98,887 tons intrastate in 1931, and 19,542 interstate and 95,679 tons intra- state this year. One of the best small grain crops in South Dakota history is expected this year with harvests well along in many sections,” George B. Kennard of Hur- on said in his report. There are spots where early drought affected the small grain but these are not large, he said. Corn is well ahead, pastures have held up well while range conditions in the western country were never better than in early July, the report continued. Abundant vegetation ap- peased grasshoppers, saving the small grains from their attention in most areas, Migration of hoppers into corn fields later if hot dry weather continues is feared. S. D. Sees Financial Success So far South Dakota has had a good year with hopes of a financial | success from the crop, dependent upon the price level in the next months. Business in every line in the state depends on whether the farmer can | sell with a profit sufficient to permit him to catch up on his buying or jwhether he must sell at low prices to meet expenses within margin of pur- chases, he said. J, N. Deller, Duluth, chairman of the iron and steel committee, report- ed operations at their lowest point in the history of the industry com- pared with rated capacity. H. W. Hazeltine of Minneapolis, |chairman of the flour and feed com- mittee, said spring wheat mill can lexpect to have a good year because of |an apparent poor crop in the south- west and the reduction in the spread of prices for wheat in the southwest compared with northwest prices. He estimated car requirements for July, August, and September in that industry as 19,500 cars in Minnesota; 1,000 in North Dakota; 800 in Mon- tana, and 700 in South Dakota. C. P. Biesanz of Winona, chairman of the crushed stone, sand and gravel committee, estimated requirements of his industry as 27,500 cars during the third quarter, about seven per cent NO MORE BACKACHES 4 2 I L other women— % perhaps like your- self—Mrs. Bur- roughs used to suf- fer with severe backaches every month.

CROCKERY EXHIBITS | AT FAIR INTERESTING |University Professor Will Give Demonstrations With Mor- ton County Clay Actual demonstration of the mak- ing of crockery and chinaware from Mandan clay—the finest plastic clay yet found in North Dakota—as pre- portation facilities during the last ipethens in the main exhibition build- ing at the Mandan fair grounds this week by Professor and Mrs. William B. Budge and Miss Julia Mattson, promises to be one of the most inter- esting features of the fair. Prof. Budge has spent the last month in the vicinity of Mandan in- vestigating clay deposits. He has made tests of clays from two-score or jmore clay beds and has found three or four deposits pf excellent quality and one deposit he asserts is the finest plastic clay in the state. The industries committee of the Mandan Chamber of Commerce, co- operating with Prof. Budge, is plan-| ning extensive tests of the cost of; |manufacture on a commercial scale jof cookery ware, and pottery souvenir ‘pieces, vases, etc. With the possibil- ity of a new industry being launched in the coming year, the public is ex- jpected to take a lively interest in the |pottery exhibits. | The finished articles which will be seen are from the ceramics depart- jment, division of mines, University of North Dakota. The largest part of the exhibit con- sists of vases and plates made of North Dakota clay and decorated with bentonite (once fired). Also pottery, plates and figures glazed and with underglaze colors. Tea sets with transparent glaze and decaleomania decoration, stoneware and cooking ware. Demonstration will include several methods of manufacture. Most prim. itive, land building, and modeling will be demonstrated by Miss Julia Mattson, instructor in ceramics. Throwing on the potter’s wheel will be demonstrated by Mrs. Budge. Cast- ing will also be demonstrated. Only clays from the immediate vicinity of Mandan will be used in the demon- stration. These have been gathered and prepared for use during the past two weeks. Samples of clays and bentonite will be on exhibit, Wool We are again in the market for wool, and can use good medium wools immediately, also fine and rejects.
