The North Dakota newspaperman

The North Dakota newspaperman
is between the Old Harry and the deep
sea. If he tells about exceptionally
good yields he is accused of furnish
ing information that has a tendency
to lower the price of grain. If he tells
about hail storm or dares to men,
ton that the corn was "pretty nigh"
nipped by the frost, he is charged with
furnishing powder to those 81 told you
so" folks back east who are ever ready
to believe anything bad about the
state. Guess We'll have to confine our
news items to "John Smith ate chick
en- dinner at Bill Olson's Sunday"
North Dakota is such a great state
that we are tempted to tell the truth
about her, good, bad and Indifferent,
and we will not have to use up much
space telling about her defects, either.

the testimony Of William Loeb with re.

the purpose of electing United States
senator.
Two remaining questions of fact
must be cleared up before the Jury gets

that the officials Of the embassy had

government towards the American note
regarding the sinking of the Lusitania

"lt was pointed out that the embassy
itself is so far ignorant Of the terms
of the American note; that il has re-.
ceived no instructions whatever from
the German government regarding the
note, and finally it was declared that
no official connected with the embassy
had expressed any opinion on the sub.

Beyond this Ambassador Won Bern

"The matter is now between the two
