D. Expenditures of over two million dollars in North Dakota for conserva- tion purposes were pointed out by John R. Foley, chairman of nesota conservation commission, in an govern- ment and sportsmen to the necessity of wild life restoration. Foley, speaking at the afternoon sessions of the state convention, said that the launched by the federal government is the greatest ever attempted in the history of the civilized world. ‘Terming failure to protect water- fowl “a crime against the intelligence of the American people,” Foley said the more than $2,000,000 outlay for North Dakota ited the re- tion corps camps amounted to $95,000, he said, quoting figures of the bureau of biological survey, “The weight of public opinion will be a big factor in the future of the restoration program,” he concluded. Foley was introduced by A. I. Peter- son, state game and fish commission- er, who is directing the activities of approximately 2,000 junior wardens throughout the state and has charge of the convention program. Scheduled for Saturday are talks by Russell Reid of the state histori- cal society, Emil Krauth, Hebron naturalist; and Prof. O. A. Stevens of Fargo, and a tour of points of in- terest in the Mandan and Bismarck areas. The trip will wind up at the reconstructed Fort McKean and Slant Indian village near Mandan where Mrs. Florence Davis, state his- torian, will speak on the historical significance of the fort and other nearby sites, elferd, Byrne Talk Governor Welford and Robert Byrne of the state planning board, ‘Welford spoke briefly on the junior warden’s part in re-building the state and “making it a state in which to live rather than a place te exploit.” Byrne talked on the conservation work being done at the COC camps on the Little Missouri river near Watford City.

Willson, FERA administrator for North Dakota, said Saturday. The Williams county protest is based on the fact that the government now Proposes to sell back to farmers cat- tle, ‘largely milk cows, which it pur- chased there a year ago, at an average the Min- | Price of $36 a . It paid $8 to $20 for them during the cattle purchase program during the drouth last summer and the “squawk” is that the government now is attempting to make a fat profit on the deal. U. 8. Fed Cattle The fact is, Willson said, the gov- ernment fed the stock all winter in most cases, thereby materially increas- ing its investment. In others the farmers fed the cows and took the milk and cream. In such cases allow- ances are being made, dependent on what the farmer got out of the ani- mals. The average quality of the cows is high, said, since only the best ones obtained in the drouth cattle ‘purchase -pregram were saved. On that basis, he explained, the price at which the government is offering them back to RRC clients is low. 3 All told there are about 3,000 RRC families in the state and about 3,000 cows available for distribution. Self Support Is Aim Aim of the government in dealing with such families, Willson said, is to make them again self-supporting lest they become it charges on the counties in which they live. Some families have been given only feed and seed. Others also have been loaned money for the purchase of machinery, livestock and other capital goods. In cases where animals are assigned to families under a loan-pur- chase agreement, the new owners get the increase and. the products but the government retains title until the ani- mals are paid for. YOUTH ARRESTED IN BARN DANCE DEATH Absence of Bruises on Body of Farmer Victim Has Of- ficials Puzzled Detroit Lakes, Minn., July 20.—(7)— William Lorentzon, 27-year old Lake Park youth, was arrested by Becker county authorities Saturday in con- nection with the mysterious death of Leonard Glawe, 24, of Callaway, at a barn dance early Friday. Sheriff Mox Olson, who made the arrest, said Lorentzon admits he push- ed Glawe down but that he did not strike him during an argument just as the dance closed. Lorentzon is held in the Becker county jail without charge pending the findings of a coroner’s jury which will hold an inquest later Saturday. No Bruises Found ‘The fact that there were no marks or bruises on Glawe’s body continued to baffle officials. A brother of the vietim said one of two men who ap- them struck Glawe after the brothers “What are you doing with our girls?” The girls and the Glawe brothers were conversing at the time. Lorentzon lives with his parents on At this point, two other men came on the scene and became angered be- cause they were talking to the girls.

Betty Casey, 14, went down while swimming in Bald Eagle lake. Owen Hall responded to a com- panion’s cries for help and brought her to shore. Then Conrad Barney, 19, James- town, N. D., who is visiting at the lake, applied artificial respiration and revived her before professional assistance arrived. EMPEROR ASSERTS COUNTRY WILL BE DEFENDED 10 LAST Duce Orders Promotions for Al- most 1,000 Regular Army Officers (Copyright, 1938, by the Associated Press) Addis Ababa, July 20.—Emperor Haile Selassie in a stirring appeal to the world Saturday said peace is on the verge of being “drowned in the blood and tears of s war” launched by Italy. Asked whether Ethiopia would choose between conciliation or war in view of the large forces already mobilized by Premier Mussolini on the Ethiopian borders, the emperor declared his empire would “defend its territory to the last man.” “Ever since her crushing defeat by our army about 40 years ago, Italy has nourished the desire to attack us,” Ethiopia’s negus asserted. “This desire assumed Saturday a more acute and more menscing form which Italy bas proclaimed to. all the world. “All our advances for peace have been rejected and our sincere desire for conciliation has been rebuffed. Now, 2,000 years after the crucifixion, is peace to be drowned in the blood and tears of a war? “Ethiopia, which became a Chris- tian nation when Europe was still plunged in paganism, still subscribes to the ten commandments and to Christ's sermon on the mount. “If Ethiopia is invaded by Italy on the basis of one or two minor fron- tier incidents which could have been settled overnight, I want Italy and the world to know that this empire, with 5,000 years of proud history be- hind it, will defend its territory to the last man for the preservation of our deathless record of never having been conquered.” ITALIAN CANNON TO ‘CIVILIZE’ ETHIOPIA Rome, July 20.—()}—War-time pro- motions for almost 1,000 regular army officers Saturday constituted Italy's latest step in her preparation for the campaign in East Africa. A decree published in an official gazette created posts for eight new colonels, 90 Meutenant colonels, 355 captains and 371 subalterns. The terse decree was published shortly after a nt man denied Friday night that Italy had been summoned to the League of Nations council of July 27. It was almost coincidental with a statement in Premier Mussolini's own newspa- per, Il Popolo d’Italia, of Milan, which said that Ethiopia will be opened to civilization by Italian picks and if necessary, Italian cannon. The semi-official “Azione Colon- fale” commented on the return to Italy of 2,000 workmen unable to en- dure the climate of East Africa. Men- tioning that 70 Italians had died of heat there, the paper pointed out that 150 had succumbed in Italy during the same period. STATE CORN SHOW PLANS FORMULATED Program Will Be Expanded This Year to Include Education- al Features The North Dakota State Corn show will be held here again this fall it was decided Friday at s joint meet- ing of the executive board of the As- sociation of Commerce and directors of the Corn Show. Dates for the annual event, exhibits lof which are put on display at the World War Memorial building, have not been set but plans call for a pee more elaborate pro- of greater educational value.

D., July 20. — (®) — Three holdup men escaped with $1,- 200 from the First National Bank of Garrison late Friday, police searching Saturday for men closely resembling the raiders of the Security State Bank of Wishek Tuesday. A farmer patron who fled the gun- men despite a bluw over his head and shots as he drove away interrupted the holdup, staged in much the same manner as that which netted $2,000 at the Wishek bank, Refusing an order to lie on the floor, Dan Boger turned to run. A bandit slugged him, but he refused to stop. The gunmen then fired and fled themselves, carrying off $1,200 in currency snatched from the cash- jer’s window and the open vault. ‘Witnesses, who said they saw a machine gun in the bandit car, re- ported the license nymber as N. D. 101-157. The raiders, who wore dark glasses when they entered the bank, fled on Highway 23 east to 83, and turned north toward Minot. It was North Dakota’s fourth bank robbery this year. LONG LAMBASTES ROOSEVELT'S RULE Defiant Huey Compares Ad- ministration With That of Tyrannical Nero Washington, July 20.—(7)—A speech by Senator Long (Dem. La.) com- paring the Roosevelt administration with that of Nero showed Saturday that the breach between the Roose- velt forces and the senator is as wide as ever. Back in Washington after new vic- tories in his state’s legislature, Long spent a busy day. After slashing at the administration from the senate floor, he faced a microphone in the evening and said: “Theré never was known such a high-handed, tyrannical, outrageous system of government, since the days of Nero, or during the days of Nero, as has been perpetrated by this out- landish system of Roosevelt's brain- trust-bureaucratic - alphabetical con- glomeration of everything except sense and justice.” Long was particularly defiant, as he had been on the senate floor, be- cause the government had cut off public works administration funds from Louisiana.

On his 50-acre field south of Bismarck, one of the first pieces of land ever broken in Burleigh county, Huber has a field of corn standing “well over a man’s head. Saturday he brought a stalk in- to town that measured six feet, seven inches tall and placed it on display at the French and Welch hardware. It is of the Minnesota 13 variety.

Reilly is senior Welford Asks Business to Aid Farmers Harvest Crop Governor Lifts Moratorium So As to Loosen Credit for Expenses Farm hopes rose Saturday for a harvest freed from debt encum- brances through state and federal steps to encourage credit and pro- vide cash. A few hours after the farm credit administration reduced its immed- iate Hen rights by 50 per cent, Acting |Governor Walter Welford partially lifted the executive moratorium s0 crops may be “properly and econo- mically” harvested. The two actions came to relieve pressure in the cash-credit shortage which, leaders said, threatened the farmer with insufficient means to gather crops. Governor Welford, in his proclamation, urged businessmen’s cooperation. “It is necessary,” Gov. Welford said, “dn order to cooperate with the farm credit administration in assisting farmers of this state in saving their crops, that a certain amount of credit be extended to them that they may be able to make these purchases.” The governor referred to expenses of binder twine, fuel, repairs on equipment, and other harvest needs. Moratoria now in force, or hereafter created, shall not affect the rights of persons allowing harvest-time credit, Welford said. “The purpose of this order,” he said. “is to bring about cooperation between those who extend eredit on one hand and the farmers on the other, to the end that the crops for the current year may be properly and economically harvested with the least amount of waste. “The credit extended hereafter and excepted from existing or future moratoria is only such credit as is necessary for the commodities named in this order, provided the credit ex- tended for the purpose shall in no case exceed the amount released by the farm credit administration.” ABSOLUTE RULE OF REICH IS NAZI AIM Confessional Outlawed in Cath- lic Youth Movements by Stettin Police Berlin, July 20.—(?)—Absolute dom- ination of Germany was the goal of increasing force Catholics, Jews and war veterans. A Stettin police official outlawed the confessional in Catholic youth groups. Participation by a priest, he ruled, exposed the young people to counsel detrimental to the Nazi state. Catholic newspapers were confiscated and suppressed. The governor of Baden issued a po- lice order against Jews “trying to martyr themselves in the eyes of the world.” He accused the Jews of in- stigating outbreaks to obtain world sympathy and ordered members of the National Socialist party to sup- press the demonstrations or suffer ex- pulsion. In the racial question, Naziism has met with scant opposition. But the church is fighting back, with protests heard in the Catholic strongholds of Bavaria, the Rhineland and Silesia. The Steel Helmets, target of repeated charges of subversive activities, are uneasy. Hitler is indebted largely to the Steel Helmets for his rise to power. Apprehension is heightened by the absence of Hitler, whose whereabouts are undisclosed. It could not be learned whether he planned to re- strain his followers once more or to pursue the radical course which would meen the wiping out of the Steel Helmets. ORDER TO RELEASE ENPLOYABLES FOR LABOR ON HARVEST After Threshing WPA to Take Care of Able-bodied Persons on Relief EXEMPT SPECIAL PROJECTS Wage Rates Also Will Be Re- adjusted Throughout State After Aug. 2 Discontinuance of construction and other federal emergency relief proj- ects in North Dakota with exception of a number of specialized work groups was ordered Saturday by E. A. Willson, state administrator, effective by August 2. As @ result of the order thousands of employable persons will be released for work in the harvest fields which will prevent any shortage of help in harvesting the state’s bountiful crop. This move will mark the first ac- tive step to discontinue the federal relief program under the present set- up in North Dakota. Immediately after the harvest, the new works Progress administration setup will be ready to move in and take care of the employables, with the state and county welfare boards handling the direct relief cases. Readjust Wage Rates Willson also announced that effec- tive Aug. 2 FERA work relief rates throughout the state would be re- adjusted, with common labor receiv- ing 30 cents an hour, semi-skilled la- bor and foremen, 40 cents, and skilled labor, 50 cents an hour, “These rates, which mean a reduc- tion in some counties, are established in order that FERA wage rates may be nearly as possible comparable with the security wages which will be paid under the works progress ad- ministration,” Willson stated. The only types of projects to be continued after Aug 2, under Will- son’s order, are garden, canning, sew- ing, mattress making, tanning, shoe repair, research and statistics, edu- leery nursing service and nursery \ools.

ARMS MAKERS Nye Fears Italo-Ethiopian Crisis May Start New World War Washington, July 20—()—Twenty agents of the senate’s munitions in- vestigation have been to keep a sharp eye out for any sign that American arms manufacturers are doing business with Italy or Ethiopia. This was disclosed Saturday by Chairman Gerald P, Nye who ex- pressed a fear that a major war may result from the dispute between the two countries. Stephen Raushenbush, chief in- vestigator for the committee, is in charge of the 20 agents, who also have been directed to watch and see if any American bankers are working in the interests of either of the quarreling nations. “So far we have not found any in- stance where American armaments manufacturers have done business with Ethiopia or Italy,” Nye said. “The same is true for the bankers.” “All we can do under present con- ditions if we learn of transactions in arms or money with these coun- tries is to try and arouse public opinion against such activities.” Asked for his opinion of the Italo~ Ethiopian situation Nye said: “I am afraid of it. It looks like a bonfire that will lead to a con- flagration. I am awfully afraid we wilt See 1914-1918 all over again.” MERCURY BOILS UP TO 93 IN BISMARCK Heat and Storms Leave 35 Dead in Eastern Half of Nation At 2:45 p. m. the temperature in Bismarck was 90, With few exceptions st of North
