4 MARTELL FORESEES “EXCELLENT CROP IR SEED [S SUFFICIENT About 30 Per Cent of Planting Done; Fall Rye Crop Not Germinating Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor Theodore Martell foresaw “ex- cellerit” wheat crop prospects for 1936 Monday “if we can get sufficient seed into the state in time.” Ample moisture is in the ground to assure confidence in crop returns, he said, following a check on farmlands. Martell found seed.” Adams, Slope, Hettinger, Bow- man, Grant and Sioux counties “have no seed” he declared, expressing the belief governmental agencies must come to the aid of farmers in those communities. Of those who have seed, Martell said, he found farmers have “about 30 per cent of their seed wheat already in the ground.” Much Seed Is Light “Much of the seed is lightweight | seed obtained from last year's crop,” Martell explained. “It is seed running from 81 to 8 per cent germination, Farmers who have been able to pur-| chase seed wheat are getting tests of 92 per cent germination.” Expressing concern over delays en- countered by farmers in obtaining seed loans, Martell declared hard red | spring wheat must be in at least by May 1. “We can hold off with seeding of durum wheat until a later date, but the hard wheat should go into the ground soon. We can delay seeding of oats and barley until May 10 or 12, he said. Little Rye Germinates Very little of the rye seeded last fall in the southwestern portions of the state is germinating, Martell de- clared. “Drouth in the section hit the seed,” Martell said, “it simply rotted in the ground.” Seeding is being carried forward in Burke, Mountrail, Williams apd Di- vide counties in “scattered” communi- ties, Martell said. He said reports indicated seeding in the Red River valley was “proceeding rapidly,” with farmers from Wheat- Jand westward in “much better shape than those in the western portion of the state.” ‘Appointments Made By Dickey Red Cross Ellendale, N.

The counselor who stood at the elbow of Mr. Roosevelt throughout his rise from a New York state senator- ship to the nation’s highest office, and heart trouble. After the funeral services the body of the little, soft-spoken adviser, who was variously called “master mind,” “kingmaker,” “warwick” and “mystery man,” will be taken to Fall River, Mass., his “other home,” for burial. Without the intimate testimony of Franklin D, Roosevelt, no true esti- mate of the place Louis McHenry Howe merits in the political annals of his country could be formed No one but the presideht knows how often in dark hours it was the staunch faith, the limitless unselfish devo- tion of this old friend and keen counselor that kept his own heart! high, his own resolution to press on/| firm against every adversity. Louis Howe has been dubbed “king-/| maker,” “Warwick,” “Mystery Man,” “politician supreme” of the New Deal. That his shrewd insight into the Practical politics, his keen sense for Public reactions, his astute reading of | men and their hidden motives helped make history none can, doubt. Born in Indiana Louis Howe was born in Indiana,| Jan, 14, 1871; but it was a life time spent in intimate observation of poli-| tics in New York state that fitted] him for the role he was to play. He| grew up in Saratoga, where New York politicians were wont to rally around the allurements of that sport resort in and out of season. His father ran a paper there and! the son drifted naturally into the) business and ultimately undertook the father’s additional function of corresponding for great New York ‘dailies, The substance of that correspond- ence was politics. From the outset of | his journalistic efforts, young Howe lived and breathed politics. There was no intricacy of up and down state New York politics unfamiliar to him; no trick of the game he had not soon heard of. He displayed so great & flair for politics that more than 30 years ago he was picked by the old New York Herald for Albany corres- Pondent, a job that was all politics. Sees Roosevelt Possibilities ‘When a young, eager, handsome chap from Duchess county, Franklin D. Roosevelt, made his way into the state senate, his coming was a mat- ter of very special interest to Howe. He saw possibilities in it that young Franklin Roosevelt himself might well have laughed at. Day by day,| Howe, 10 years senior to the young state senator, watched his political! evolution, noted the special charm he seemed to exercise over his legisla- tive colleagues, observed his course! in legislative crisis and adjudged him! able and courageous. An intimacy sprang up that was to ripen in time into such a friendship as rarely has figured in American political history. | ‘Then came the first Roosevelt sct- back. On the eve of his re-election campaign the young senator was/ stricken with typhoid fever. | In the battle that followed, Howe; demonstrated his qualities by re- electing young Roosevelt, campaign-| ing for him by proxy, determining himself almost every strategic move, even fashioning out of his own head issues to which he pledged his man. Form Lifetime Partnership From then on the political part- nership of Roosevelt and Howe was @ fixed matter, never to be inter- tupted while both lived. Louis McHenry Howe, t’s Aid, Dies LOUIS McHENRY HOWE president Howe sacrificed’ every per- sonal consideration. When Franklin Roosevelt’ was called in the Wilson administration jto carry on the Roosevelt tradition in the assistant secretaryship in the navy department established by his Republican kinsman, Howe came with him, Even back-in those days Howe had learned that what would be most helpful to “the boss” would be a good “no” man. Mr. Roosevelt was young and ardent. He had a ten- dency to surge into action in sup- port of a project too precipitately, Howe thought. So even when he ap- |Proved the plan, Howe often opposea it in inner councils in order to bring out every weakness in advance. “No” Man in 1920 Campaign And he was “no” man on one very big point in the Roosevelt career. He did not see prospects of advancement toward the White House in Mr. Roosevelt's acceptance of his party's vice presidential nomination in 1920 with certain defeat for the ticket ahead. In the wake of that campaign came the stroke that seemed to have |Wrecked finally Franklin Roosevelt's Political career. From the hour word of that disaster reached him, Louis Howe abandoned his own affairs, his own home almost to stand at his friend’s side. He became an inmate of the Roosevelt home, commuting as chance offered to his own home. ;That continued through the subse- quent Roosevelt governorship and after Mr. Roosevelt's inauguration as president. Howe was more than sec- retary to the president. He was a resident secretary, living in the White House and rarely leaving it. Howe never figured at a national convention until that in Chicago which nominated Roosevelt. At that convention Howe moved in, but in hiding. Only the initiated knew where his room was; yet it was the nerve center of ‘ the Roosevelt campaign. Sick Man at Chicago Howe was not well then, All that he did prior to that convention, after it in the gruelling campaign which to him meant endless hours at the New York national headquarters and on the phone raking the whole nation by long distance, was done against doc- tor's warning. After the inauguration Howe bob- bed up as a figure in the news for a time. He planned the new White House organization but reserved for himself a rather indistinct back- ground post despite his title as sec- retary to the president. President Roosevelt's first sharp move after the banking crisis had been dealt with was creation of the civilian conservation corps. When congress authorized that project, the President turned it over to Howe to get it going. It was Howe who picked the men to do the actual work. To that friendship and to the abso- lute conviction in his own mind that} jone day Franklin Roosevelt would be, in Maytag helpfulnese—health, removes the drudgery of hand-rubbing the clothes—happiness, because it releases many washday hours for other things economy, because its careful washing makes the clothes last longer. piece, cast-aluminum tub, the washing action, originated by Maytag, the Roller Water Remover Maytag developments are combined with highest grade materials and expert workmanship throughout. 4sk the nearest dealer for casy peyment plan Visit the 206-6 near you THE MAYTAG COMPANY, MANUFACTURERS Foun 193. oe ewt owas @ There is health, happiness and economy MAYTAG DEALER because it The one- Gyratator and other | A very ticklish business also turned. over to Howe by the president early in the administration was the second French: & Welch Hardware MAYTAG DEALER 306 MAIN PHONE 141 bonus march on Washington, In view! of what had happened during the Hoover administration it was a dif- ficult problem. Howe handled it by getting the marchers down to a near- by ungarrisoned army post, feeding them and then enlarging the CCC to take in as many as desired. Chicago Headquarters Secret As the time neared’ for the 1932 national nominations Howe engineered unheralded contacts between party groups in Washington that had much to do with the result of the Chicago convention. He moved there when the delegates gathered, but secretly. Only the initiated knew where his ho- tel rooms were, but they were the -nerve center of the Roosevelt cause. Perhaps the only public appearance in a political setting that Howe ever made was on the platform of the con- vention hall when he stood beside Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt as the delegates acclaimed ‘their nominee. Another public occasion came in the first year of the Roosevelt admin- istration. Howe had been selected to organize the Civilian Conservation corps and picked the men to do the actual work. Purchase of toilet kits for the forestry workers brought! charges which.caused a senatorial in- vestigation and Howe appeared before the committee. It simmered away in- to a finding that no wrong had been done. For a time, too, Howe did a weekly radio comment and wrote a number of magazine articles. But his health be- gan to fail and he dropped these roles. He married Grace Hartley of Fall River, Mass., in May, 1899. A daugh- ter, Mary (Mrs. Robert H. Baker) and @ son, Hartley E, Howe, who followed his father and grandfather into news- paper work, were born to them. NOR’WESTER CHASES SUMMER FROM N.D. Snow Falls at Grand Forks; 57- Degree Range of Mercury Noted at Beach + Sweet summer's breezes scampered out of the state Monday, as blustery, chilling winds drove temperatures down throughout North Dakota, drops ranging from 30 to 57 degrees in 48 hours. Temperatures generally in the state were high at the beginning of the weekend but began falling rapidly late Sunday. A high pressure area moving in from the north was responsible for the change, weather bureau officials said here. Unsettled colder weather was fore- seen by the weather bureau for east- ern and southern North Dakota Mon- day night, with Tuesday generally fair, but with continued cold. At Grand Forks, snow fell, accom- panied by a fall of temperature from 58 to 38 above zero, and .03 inches of A 57-point drop in temperature was precipitation. recorded at Beach—greatést plunge of the mercury in the state. A fall from 85 to 28 degrees above zero—four Points below freezing was marked down for the community. Every other ‘point in the state showed similar wide changes, bringing into play tppcoats which had been discarded over the weekend. COMMITTEEMAN IS ENTITLED T0 PROXY Substitute May Vote at County Political Meetings, Sathre Rules A precinct committeeman may be Tepresented by proxy at county meet- ings of political parties May 6, the state attorney general’s office ruled Monday. The opinion held, however, that the proxy representative must be from the same precinct as that of the committeeman, P. O. Sathre, attorney general, also held that a member of the legislative assembly-may hold any other school, township or city office not incom- patible with that of the legislative assembly. Delegates to the respective state party conventions have “one duty”— that of choosing delegates to the na- tional party conventions. “I am of the opinion,” the ruling declared, “that at the May meeting, committeemen at large appointed in 1934 may yet act as members of the county committee, although this in- terpretation is not free from doubt. I believe, however, that a fair inter- pretation of the 1935 statute indicates that the office of committeeman at large was not to be abolished until the regular July meeting of the coun- ty committee, when the county com- mittee will be reorganized and new members of the legislative assembly BUDWEISER Now 15c in Throw-away bottles Time for a NEW LETTERHEAD We specialize in’ the printing of business and professional stationery, invoices, etc. Let us quote on your requirements and show you samples of the new Ceaslon Bond.

The meeting in May, he emphasized will not be to reorganize the respective county com- mittees, but to pick state delegates to the state convention. Although precinct committeemen, ing the presidential primary election, reorganization of the stale central committee and county central com- mittees will be effective this year, he said.
