SUGGESTS FARMERS CLUBS
Believes United Farmers Organiza-
tions Could Secure Ready
Market For Produce
SUBMITS BRIEF COMMUNICATION

I. G. Haycraft submits the follow
ing communication which may prove
a benefit to the farmers and others
who are interested in the develop
ment of Northern Minnesota. This
is the third communication Mr.. Hay
craft has submitted regarding farm
development.
"Now that Beltrami county has a
good crop the question is how to
obtain the best market for wheat
and other products which the farm
ers have to sell. The farmers have
large crops of potatoes which they
will undoubtedly ship from Bemidji
or other points in the county but
many of them are aware of the
fact that they could obtain much
better markets for their products
than they are doing I suggest that
the farmers in every township or
ganize club and send delegates to
the county seat where Beltrami
County Farmers club could be or
ganized. 1t would be the duty of the
delegates to ascertain the amount Of
produce which their respective
townships would have for sale and
report the same at a regular meet
ing of the County Club. In this
manner definite and authentic infor-
nation could be gained regarding the
quantity the different townships
are producing. A small subscrip-
ton could be collected from the fed
Grafton of clubs and advertising of
the proper sort placed in CONSPICUOUS
places through out the country.
Gin this manner buyers and deal
ers through out the country who are
forced to search out side of their
own states for potatoes will be at
tracted by the superior produce Of
fered and we will undoubtedly get
their trade if we can show them
that we have the goods.
IF a ready market can be OBJ
tanned for the entire amount of po-
tatoes and other products offered
for sale this year the acreage would
be doubled next year and disposed
Of in the same manner. Beltrami
County surely produces excellent po-
tatoes and would be purchased in
preference to many inferior grades
which are put on the market"

SAYS HIS LIFE
WAS in DANGER
Kentucky Congressman Tells Of
Being Threatened Favored The
Dyer Bill
JOHNSON WAS CHAIRMAN
Had Measure In Charge And Received
Anonymous Letters By The
Hundreds

Washington, Aug. 22.-That his life
had been. threatened because of his
advocacy Of the Dyer bill regulating
"loan sharks" in Washington was the
sensational charge made to the house
lobby investigators by Representa-
tive Johnson of Kentucky, chairman
of the committee that considered the
measure. g.. r. 49, ~
Johnson declared he had received
anonymous threats by the hundreds
warning him to desist trying to pass
the Dyer bill. Many Of the threats
were not specific, he said, but. all
promised he would be made to suffer

pawnbrokers and loan sharks. ::

Ing, Washington pawnbroker, swore
helped to fight the Dyer loan shark
blll-were subpoenaed by the house
lobby investigating committee in a
final effort to find out just where va
rious defense funds raised by the
money lenders went.
Flight Of National Scope.
The committee had developed the
fact that. the fight made on. the Dis
trict of Columbia loan shark bill was
not a local, but national one, and
the pawnbrokers and their allies all
fought to defeat the bill.
-Four funds have already been dis
covered and more have been limited
at. The fight included sending Pat
rick J. Ryan, chairman of the legis-
lation committee, and Milton Smelling,
former president of the central labor
union, through the country campaign
ing for congressman they thought
would oppose the Dyer bill.
: The expenses, the witness swore,
were paid by himself and saloon
keeper. ~.
George d. Horning was again on
the stand. He was to be followed by
Representative Johnson of Kentucky,
chairman of the committee that had
the bill in charge, and then the pro-
cession of saloon keepers and pawn
brokers was scheduled.

PENROSE URGES
AID TO CITIZENS
Peaceful Invasion Of Mexico Propos.
ed-Resolution In
Senate
WANTS AMERICANS PROTECTED
Would Appropriate $25,0O0,000 To
Place U. S. Troops Across
The Border

Washington, Aug. Ex-senator Pen
rose has introduced a resolution re-
quiring President Wilson to take the
necessary steps to place United States
troops in Mexico to protect American
lives and property; such a step to be
decreed by the senate as in no way an
dnfriendly act toward Mexico.
Senator Penrose introduced also
an amendment to the deficiency bill
for an appropriation of $25,0O0,00O to
be expended as the president might
direct for the protection of the lives
of Americans in Mexico. He made no
effort to obtain immediate action
upon his resolution and at the sug-
gestion Of Senator La Toilette it went
over day under the senate rules.
The amendment for the emergency
appropriation, Senator Penrose ex-
planned, was similar to a. provision in
an appropriation act just prior to the
Spanish war and he asked that the
amendment lie on the table in the SEN
ate until the bill comes over from the
house.
THE administration has asked for
100000 to take Americans out Of
Mexico" said Senator Penrose after
announcing he would not discuss his
resolution. Rather than appropriate
this pittance to make this wholesale
removal, would appropriate this $751;.
100000 to keep them where they are
and to protect them"
Policy Is Reaffirmed.
The Penrose resolution draws atten.
ton to the possibility that continued
destruction of property in Mexico
would Involve international compli-
cations and intervention by European
nations" The resolution especially
declared that 1T is not the policy of
the government of the ~Uaited States
to recognize or assist any faction or
factions in the republic of Mexico"
Senator Nelson declared it seemed
unwise at this juncture to agitate the
question.
"Such agitation" said he, lis an en-.
barrassment to the president, who Is
doing everything he can to bring
about peace. This resolution should
go to the committee on foreign rela-
tons and not be used here to exploit
speeches Of an embarrassing charac-
ter to the administration.
LET me cite bit of history that a
few Of us we'll remember. We were
very glad during the dark days of the
Civil war that no foreign government
interviewed in our troubles. We were
threatened time and again with inter-
vention from Germany, France and
England.
I'VE agitate Intervention and inter-
vention means war. We should do
everything we can to avoid war and
give Mexico the same chance we asked
for and were given in the Civil war"

Sherbrooke, Que, Aug. 22.-Lawyers
for Harry K. Thaw, fencing for po~
sition in his fight to resist deporta-
ton to the United States after his
flight from Matteawan, won an ad-
vantage in Sherbrooke by delaying
his appearance in the superior court
on writ of habeas corpus.
Dominion immigration officials, and
with them the district attorney and
sheriff of Duchess county, N. ~, had
hoped that Thaw would be produced
in court, discharged on the present
defective commitment and thus al
lowed to fall into their hands for de-
portation.
Thaw's lawyers, however, believing
in the advantages of delay, declined
to serve their writ on the jailor, or
as locally known, "the governor OF
the prison." and Thaw remained in
his hospital ward cell chatting with
his brother-in-law and sister, Mr.. and
Mrs. George Lauder Carnegie.
Lawyers Are Upheld.
Superior Judge Globensky was
sought by the immigration officials
and the officers from New York to in
sist on the service of the writ, osten-
sibly returnable forthwith, but the
court held that Thaw's lawyers were
within their rights.
There were no court proceedings
during the forenoon, although towns
people damned the courtroom. Thaw's
battery of lawyers, victorious so far
in the strange procedure of keeping
their client in Jail, agreed to an
nounce later what disposition they
purposed to make of their idle writ.
If they still persist in not serving it,
the immigration authorities planned
to have the writ declared void and
insist on Thaw's arraignment at once.
The case has reached stage
where the usual relations of the par
ties to a criminal action are abso'
lutely reversed. On the one hand,
the lawyers for the prisoner are
fighting hard to prolong his imprison'
ment while the authorities, local,
Dominion and United States, were anx.
ious to have him set free, safe In the
belief that the immigration officials
would seize him and force him across
the frontier. w.

MANY MORE SILOS

II Present Plans Are Carried Gu,
Many Silos Will BE Built,

This will be the big year in North
Dakota for silos If the present plans
are carried out. There are more in
quiries from diffeent sections Of the
state than at any former time. This
is due primarily to the increased in
North Dakota and especially to the
presence Of federal experts in silo
construction at Grafton, LaMoure and
other sections Of the state. These
have created a. wide enthusiasm in the
interests Of the silo. Because of the
long winters in North Dakota when
there is no green feed for the cat
tie the argument in favor Of silos is
easier than in some other. states.
agricultural college. the s~uperintend-
ents OF the sub-stations. the repre-
%sentatives of the Better Farming
movement and especially of the state
dairy department under Commissioner
Flint have done q great deal of mis-
sionary work during the past year.
The college extension department has
sent out articles on clio construction,

to be incurred. Instructions are also
issued as to the methods Of preparing
silage and its cost.

tised the official endorsement Of the
form has been given and that appears
to be the favorite.
During the present spring and sum-
mer there will be a great many of
these constructed in North Dakota in
preparation for the silage this fall.
This will mean a greatly increased
dairying interest. Some former cream
cries are being reopened and new ones
are being established. Cheese fac
tories are also to be started. Eckman,
Bottineau county. is to have a cheese
factory ready for business April /.
Another is to be established at Minot
by the Farmers Equity society. The
creamery at Lisbon las just been re-
opened and the one at Sheldon in the
same county may be opened soon.
Lansford is to have both silos and a
creamery and other sections. especial
~ the southwestern corner Of the
state are discussing both.
