be bent to the wishes of the people
irrespective of action that may be TAX

INTERNATIONAL STOCK SHOW CALLED
OFF BECAUSE Of SPREAD Of DISEASE
North Dakota Men Will be Unable Make Trip Chca-
go-Exhibitors Refuse to Take Chances" in
Sending Blooded Stock to Show.
The calling off of the International
stacE vhau, will come nc a diSa npAin !.

| The calling off of the international
Stock show will come as a disappoint-
mcnt to the North Dakota people. Ar
rangements had been practically COM
| pleted to send a special train, carry
ing at least 200 representative farm
ers and business men to Chicago. but
| now ii will be impossible to do So
The trip also offered an excellent op-
portunity for advertising North Da-
kota agricultural interests. The
North Dakota Bankers association
was preparing to assemble an exhibit
| of corn, grains and vegetables to send
in a special car.
The federal quarantine over the
Union Stock yards of Chicago extends
from November to November l 5 in
elusive. but the situation is so critical
that the stock show authorities have
decided to call off their exposition.
The spread of the disease west of
Chicago is alarming. because of the
fact that the packing concerns in that
city count partly on the stockyards
| and slaughter houses in Kansas City
and Omaha to keep up the meat sup
ply Should the infected area reach
Kansas and Nebraska the nation IS
food supply may be temporarily re-
duced.
A small army of men were set to
work yesterday washing and disin-
feCting the yards and the herd of 500
infected cattle were ordered shot and
buried in quick lime. The disease
was found to have spread among the
prize cattle which were exhibited at
the National Dairy show, bring the
total number afflicted up to thirty.
These cattle. which probably will be
killed, are valued at about $4,000.

United States Senator A. j. Gronna,
in thanking the people Of the state
for the confidence reposed in him as
evidenced by reelection this week,
also submits to The Herald brief
statement relative to ridiculous charg-
es brought against him by the Devils
Lake Journal.
Mr.. Gronna's statement on that
subject follows:
Under date of November the
Devils Lake Journal accuses me of
having said, II don't want a Catholic
to vote for me-" l deny that l have
made such a statement.
On June "a. 1914. (election day.
l received a letter from Bishop
Wehrle of Bismarck. asking me if it
was true that 1 was responsible for
the circulation or distribution in
North Dakota of large number of
copies of certain publication called
the Menace. Immediately called
Mr.. Wehrle up over the telephone and
told him it was not true, but he asked
me to write him. which l did, and l
also called on Father Mcdonald and
informed him that I was not guilty
of the accusation made against me.
Later on I saw Bishop Wehrle in
Washington and I then told him per-
sonally that it was not true that was
In any way responsible for the distri-
putlon or this paper in North Dakota
or anywhere else. 1 thought, of
course, that this would end it but 1
found during the recent campaign
that the same argument was used
among the Catholics. and 1 have no
doubt that those who are not ac-
quainted with me felt that I was not
entitled to their support II was re-
sponsible for the circulation of this
paper. deny that am in any way
whatever responsible for the circula-
ton of this paper. 1 deny that 1 am
in any way whatever responsible for
the circulation or distribution of the
Menace. assert that have not paid
for a single subscription to the Men
ace. and I invite any good citizen of
our state, whether Protestant or Cath
0lic, to make a thorough investigation
and il these charges can be substan-
tiated by proof that have contribut-
ed a single penny to this publication
I shall be glad to deposit $1,000 in
any bank in Lakota to pay the ex-
penses for making such investigation.
1 will let my record speak for itself

against any citizen no matter what
his creed, nationality or politics may
be.

farmers MEET !.
IN CITY TODAY
Discussing Plans for Contin-
uidg the Better Farming
Work in County.
MANY SEE NEED
OF SUCH ACTION
Agricultural Club Work has
Been Neglected Since
Discontinuance.
FAVOR THE WORK.

The farmers present took a
HoIc this afternoon by which
tney decided to proceed with the
FARMING work as outlined in the
proposed organization plan.
Hans Georgcson of Niagara was
c'ioseh temporary chairman.
OUTLINE PLAN OF ACTION.
The plan of action in further
ing the better farming movement
was outlined at the opening of
the conference this afternoon by
r.. d. Lander. He proposed the
organization Of the Grand Forks
county Better Farming assOcia-
ton, with officers mostly farmers.
An annual membership fee of 81
was proposed.
Mr.. Lander also suggested that
request be made of the board OF
county commissioners to turn
over about $1,7OO in the better
farming fund, the same to he
used In launching the work. He
estimates an annual income of
$4,000 would maintain county
agent.
Grand Forks county farmers thi.
not they wish to continue the Better
Farming work.
Better Farming conference is be-
ing held at the Commercial club
rooms. and it is attended by represen-
tative farmers from every section OF
the county.
They were brought together through
the efforts of the Better Farming COM
mittee of the Commercial club. This
committee thought that the work
which was started three years ago by
O. D: Center. should he continued
and they invited the farmers to con-
ference for the purpose of letting them
decide the question themselves.
Since the work was discontinued
by the county board. farmers in every
section of the county have written the
committee asking if some plan for
""~'nuing the work could be formu-
lated.
,..e of the important features of
the better farming work was the or
PaniZation Of the Farmers club. With
one exception, Mr.. Center had prac-
w entire charge of these organi-
cations, and, since his departure, the
worA has been neglected.
Local agricultural men have seen
the need of continuing the farmers
club work, and, for this purpose, they
We're anxious to; have the question
settled.
There is every indication that the
farmers will vote to continue the
work. The only difficulty is in for
mulating a suitable plan for carrying
on the activities. Several plans have
been suggested, aad they will be pre-.
sented to the farffiers this afternoon
