Moorhead Department
FARMER HAS
PRAISE FOR
FARM BUREAU
Briggs Tells Why Every
Farmer in Clay County
Should Join

Why every farmer in Clay county
should become member of the Clay
county Farm bureau, Is told in an ar
ticie by B. II. Briggs, prominent farmer
living south of Moorhead, published in
News.
1T has been discovered, and is gem
orally admitted now, that more can be
accomplished through organized than
through individual efforts" says Mr.
Briggs.
This fact applies to groups of farm
ers as we'll as to groups of business
men. There may be some who are still
skepttcal of the ability of such an or
ganization as the Farm bureau to help
eft;nn chsm: me IN ,y way is now open for the
citfzens OF Clay county to determine
this to their own satisfaction. Certain
ly this organization cannot help you II
you do not give 1t a chance. The best
test you can give is by becoming an
Aid to All.
1t Is the aim of the bureau to give
aid to any enterprise needing its assist
ance which will add to the welfare of
the community. IF you need more or
better livestock, better field crops, or
better markets, the bureau is ready to
help you secure them. If you need a
Shipping association or a Farmers
club IN your community, the bureau
Will help you organize it. If space
permitted any number of instances
could be cited where these things have
been accomplished right here in Clay
county.
THE bureau works to best advan-
tage where 1t can deal with people in
groups, but where this Is impossible,
help Is freely extended to the individ-
ual The reorganization, or enlarge
ment of the old organization, now
taking place Is for the purpose Of max
ing the Farm bureau more efficient. We
are confident that better work can he
done when the greater part of the
farmers hold membership cards. Co
operation Will be carried forward on a
scale hitherto impossible and the whole
country will be benefited. Men will
come to see that one Of the best ways
to help Themselves is by helping their
ne1ghbors. Clay county will be famed
far and wide as the home Of good pota--
toes, good livestock, and prosperous and
contented people. Our lands will be
more valuable and business will in
crease correspondingly

ing business. His Office will be kept

be established for the accommodation

of the undertaking to be assured from
the start, All that is needed is for each
man and his neighbor to put shoulders

Washington, Nov. 22.-The prospec-
tive European commercial war after
the war viewed with increasing seri-
BUSINESS here, is being watched care
fully by American consular officers
abroad and reports are being received
regularly . at the department from
many different sources. 1t became
known that all available facts are be-
| ing sent to Washington, both as to the
| progress already made in planning the
economic struggle and as to future
developments.
Officials here think the American
people do not fully realize the full
effect Of such post bellum strife on
their huge foreign trade. which has
passed the $S,000,000,000 mark annual
| ly. Uncertain as to the future, varying
as are all the reports, no doubt is
| felt here that the country faces a
grave economic danger unless 1t does
all possible, first to forestall such a
struggle and secondly to prepare
against it in case present indications
are borne out.
Legislation along this line will be
sought in congress. The Webb bill,
allowing American firms to unite for
foreign trade without violation of the
antitrust laws Is to be urged again in
the presidents next address.
last congress. is expected to be nam
ed shortly and to submit a program
designed to free Americas seaborne
trade from dependence on foreign
bottoms. A maximum and minimum
tariff to automatically favor friends
and punish those discriminating against
American goods is another proposed
means of defense which will be sub
mitted for consideration by the new
tariff commission.
The state department is deeply in
| terested in the threatened trade COM
plexities and it is largely for this
reason that as many consular officers
as happen to be in this country at the
time will be sent to the fourth annual
meeting of the national foreign trade
council at Pittsburgh, Jan. 25 26 and

attend are Consul General at Large

The BAXTER
CASE BEFORE
JUDGE NYE
Can Wife of Judge Baxter
Collect Sd, 900 From His
Estate?

Judge G. A. Nye is at Fergus Falls
to preside over the Judge Baxter case.
an action which has created consid-
cradle interest in this section of the
country since the judges death.
Judge Baxter had given checks
amounting to something Ike $4,000 to
his wife. There was no money in the
bank to pay them, and the question
now is whether or not they constitute
a claim against the estate. The law on
this question does not seem to be very
clear In case 1t should be held that
the checks are valid. another question
that might arise would be whether
they are claims against the entire
estate or against the portions of the
other heirs only.
After the Baxter case the trial of
Arthur Charest, who was charged
with misappropriations and in whose
case the jury failed to agree year
ago, will come up. Mr.. Charest was
once a resident Of Moorhead.

however, as to whether an actual
trade war, as proposed by the Lon
don Chamber of Commerce with diff

Nevertheless, 1t is pointed out that
the provisions of the Paris economic

to bind the allies to commercial unity

ready to a large degree have been car

under allied domination. Officials.
