TAFT VERY ANXIOUS
TO CONC|[|ATE
FOREIGNERS
SUGGESTS OTHER NATIONS MAY
USE FEDERAL COURTS IN
CANAL SQUABBLE.

Washington, Aug. la.--tpresident
Taft closed day of conferences on
the Panama canal bill with a special
message to congress suggesting the
passage Of the legislation which would
permit American ships to travel the
canal toll free and which would also
allow foreign nations 10 test the
legality of this provision by suits In
United States courts.
The president discussed the message
with senators and members Of the
house and its wording final, was de-
cided upon at II cabinet meeting Tile
message WAS read IN congress soon
afterward and will be taken up to-
morrow by committees Of both houses.
IL was tho belief here tonight that
an effort will be made To meet the
presidents wishes. although some
leaders. particularly In the house, were
inclined to believe the message meant
no further canal action nj the pres
ent session.
Mr.. Taft explained that he was
anxious 10 sign the present bill, but
"
the spirit Of fairness on the p1rt of
tho United States Tho president was
told that an act of congress would
have the effect of abrogating any
treaty previously agreed to and the
decision of the supreme court over
The Chinese exclusion Act was given as
authority for the statement. His sug-
sestion to congress for additional
legislation, designed To prevent any
such construction as that of the SUI
preme court In the chinese ease,
should allow foreigners To try their
cause in the United States courts. Ii
read as follows:

NORTH DAKOTA FRUITS
Comparatively Easy Task {
Right Kind Selected.
Dad Mistake 10 Made by Many That
Nothing but Eastern Varieties
viii Succesd-sand Cherry 10
Native, Grows AbundantIy.

i(Dy L. r. WALDRON, Superintendent
Dickinson substation.)
To grow fruits In North Dakota is
comparatively easy. If only the right
kinds are selected. One trouble hith.
erto has been the neglect of the fruits
that succeed. Too much emphasis Is
placed upon such fruits as apples, GER
tain kinds Of plums, eastern cherries,
raspberries. strawberries and other
kinds that can be grown only with
considerable skill.
A study of our wild fruits should
convince one that fruit raising may
be made certain and profitable in
North Dakota. Moreover, our exper-
,ience In the last few years has been
rather convincing III favor of fruit
growing.
8; North Dakota is populated mostly
by eastern people, and eastern people
are naturally used to eastern fruits.
They come to this state and ind that
people, as rule, buy their fruit in
stead OF growing 1t. They come to
the conclusion Immediately that If
fruit Is tC be grown it must natur.
ally be eastern fruit. This conclusion
Is Illogical and in many cases 1t
would be impracticable to grow east
ern fruits. The logical thing to do Is
to grow the native fruits or at least
those fruits that contain native blood.
Many people turn up their noses at
our native fruit replying at once that
1T has not sufficient quality for eco
nomic use. This Is a very sad mis-
take, that all knowing ones are aware
of. North Dakota fruits have quality
plus and 1t lies with the housekeeper
to bring it to the surface.
Let us take the sand cherry for an
example. This plant is native to the
state and is found rather abundant
ly. 1t prefers the tops and steep
sides Of buttes. AS found growing
wild, 1t Is a most insignificant plant
for a shrub. but 1t has learned to
temper its growth to the moisture
available to It, AS far as the writer
lis aware. the amount of fruit produc
ed by the sand cherry growing wild

SOCIALIST SAYS QUESTION

Red Deer, Alta. Canada.

March q, 1919.
Ward County independent:
In answer to my inquiry, just what
has the church to ear from Social
ism, a 'Minot read II says t at | must
have but recently joined the Red
Army. He is very much mistaken.
! Joined the Red Army, as he calls
it, about three years ago. Am sorry
to say that until that time | had been
too narrow minded to join them in
their fight for economic freedom.
b I believe the encyclopedia Britsa-
MICA is taken as standard authority
on most subjects. Why should an
exception be made on the subject of
Socialism?
The writings Of any one individual
or group Of individuals, their per-
sonal opinion you might say, is not
Socialism, as you must know, II You
know anything about Socialism at
all.
Lefbhnecht may be an atheist,
do not know. I suppose we have
atheists in our party, as no doubt
they have in both the Republican anil
Democrat parties.
I can imagine Babel saying that
Socialism and churchanity are like
fire and water to one another. Please
do not confound the two words,
churchanity and christianity as mean
ing the same. Churchanity is what
we have today. No doubt Debs
thought he was paying high tribute
to the memory Of the lowly Naza-
rene. Jesus the teacher walked, or
tramped you might say, from place
to place teaching and preaching the
brotherhood Of man. and nowhere in
his teachings did he authorize the
minister Of today, to train boys to
be legalized murderers. Socialists as
a rule believe in the Golden Rule as
taught by Jesus Christ. Socialists
are not led hither and yon by a
leader, but are broad-minded class
OF people that do their own thinking.
AS yet I think my question remains
unanswered: II You can answer
more fully please do so.

But what happens when this fruit.

Is transplanted and given a sum
cheney Of room and moisture. 1t un-
dergoes such profound change that
its closest friend would scarcely know
1t. In q year or 20 after being trans
planted It seems almost to explode. A
plant three or four inches high bear
ing a few leaves and possibly two or
three cherries will attain height Of
three or moro feet, and a diameter or
spread Of six feet And instead Of
bearing merely enough fruit to pro-
duce another sand cherry, 1t will pro-
duce peck or more Of excellent
cherries. have personally seen this
change come about and know that the
facts are as I have given them.
In all probability not one North Da-
kotan In five hundred is aware of the
excellent cooking qualities of our ma
tive sand cherry. It IL question Of
having eyes and seeing not; of living
in a bounteous orchard Of fruit and ig-
norant Of the fact.
Some Of them are excellent for eat
ing out of hand, while others are too
tart and astr1ngent for this purpose.
There is no question about their cook

Of this article would not only begin

that he would make strenuous efforts
to induce his neighbors to do the

from It, This writing of mine will
