sidered. The president has already
called on the foreign. minister for ex-
plantations.
The Buenos Aires newspapers refer
to the exposure as an unusual and
sensational diplomatic scandal. La
Nacion says:
"This sensational revelation, which
compromises the faith of the German
foreign Office, must modify many
opinions regarding the situation.
1T clearly shows the contempt with
which the two diplomats involved re-
gard the Argentine foreign Office.
Country's Name Involved
Diplomacy in this war has given us
many surprises, but none so grave or
one that has so grave and difficult con-
sequences as this from the United
States, the involvement of the falt
name of our country, imposed upon be-
cause of it's excessive good faith, in a
complicated plot which must arouse
universal comment Of all kinds, claims,
fears and suspicious"
Every paper today said that the re-
port was so sensational and unusual
that it could not be believed except for
the fact that it had been made public
by the state department of such a
great country as the United States.
At the present time, there are no
responsible officials at the German le-
cation. Count Luxburg has taken a
vacation in the Andes foothills since
the arrival of the American fleet at
Buenos Aires, and has so far not res
ponded to a telegraphic request Of the
Associated Press to make statement.

Straus Style Show
Important. Event

The semi-annual Style Show of the
Straus Clothing company for the tall
date will be put on next Monday, Sept
II, at o'clock.
Following the usual custom OF en-
tertainment, there will be music, SOU
venirs for the ladies, living models to
display the garments, and hearty
welcome to all who avail themselves
of the opportunity to attend ana So"
the latest and. best that is to be foun1
in shoes and mems and boys clothing.
Having one of the largest stores ana
display windows of the state, the
troubles Of the management is their
inability to show such a small per-
centage of the great stock in so limit
ed a time. However, enough will be
shown to give line on the fabrics and
tailoring, the styles and new models.
This event will be well worth your
consideration both for information and
future investment.

MORE RYE NEEDED

Survey by the u S. Department of
agriculture of the possible production
of grains for bread making indicates
that a greater acreage of rye is needed
as we'll as of wheat next year. Rye is
a crop that does we'll in North Dakota.
So that the state can very readily res
pond to the nations need by increas-
ing its rye acreage. The increase
which it has been deemed necessary
for North Dakota to make is IL per
cent That is to sow II per cent more
rye this year than usual. That would
mean that where so acres had grown
previously SIS be put in this year. Rye
is a good cleaning crop. Weeds do
very poorly in good stand of rye. 1t
is also one of the surest crops to grow.
The rye also does not require labor at
the same time as the other grain
crops. Rye can be sown any time in
September, the earlier sowing will
likely prove the best. An increase in
the rye crop will be doing our country
a patriotic duty and at the same time
will be securing the benefits that come
from this crop.

German charge through the Swedish

The official announcement issued by
the state department at Washington
that communications from Count Lux
berg, German charge at Buenos Ares
had been sent to the Berlin foreign
Office through the Swedish legation
here in cipher, caused sensation, ana
was the principal topic of discussion
throughout the city. That the situa-

usually gay on Sunday, were remark

GEORGE M. YOUNG

Mr.. Young succeeded Mr.. H3lgeson
as a member of the agricultural COM
mittee of the House of Representa-
tives and is devoting the preater part
of his time to the work of that COM
mittee. He is very active in behalf of
proper prices for farm products and
does not hesitate to call on Mr. Hoov-
er and say to him in person anything
he may consider necessary fpr the in
terests Of the country.
Mr.. Young fairly believes that a fair
price to the producer of breadstuffs is
absolutely necessary to secure a suf-
ficient production of food to carry the
world through the war and the recon-
struction period which will follow it.
Mr.. Young is our district representa-.
tive and was of great assistance in
the effort to secure a price above 81
per bushel for wheat

Farmers Not to Buy Bonds If
Farm Interests Are Injured

Minneapolis, Sept. 1O.-The inadvis.
ability Of farmers buying Liberty loan
bonds atsa sacrifice to their. farming
interests, was discussed today by the
board of governors of the Farm Mort
gage Bankers association, which will
open it's fourth annual convention here
tomorrow.
.'Of course the Liberty loans must
be raised" said X. M. Robins OF
Rochester, N. Y, a vice president of
the association, "but it will not do to
finance our government bond issues by
withdrawing capital from support of
the country's farming interests, on
which our whole economic structure
rests. 1t would be disastrous to Amer
ica's cause in the war"
Delegates from all parts of the coun-
try began arriving tonight for the
three-day meeting.
Farming of standard law granting
exemption from foreclosures to citi.
zens in the federal military service,
was taken up today by the board of
governors: Farm finance is matter
Of crucial Importance at this time, it
was pointed out, and money already in.
vested should not be withdrawn
Means of taking care of farm prop.
erty of those who have gone to war
also was considered.
In framing the law, the convention
will study the features of the laws
passed in five states dealing on the
subject. A standard law, after it is
framed by the bankers, probably will
be recommended to congress for en-
actment.

knights Of Col'nlbus h Provide
Many Eli ertainlnent Camps

The knights of Columbus, a Catho.
lie organization, are making a nation
wide effort to raise fund of $3,000,000
for entertainment camps and rest
rooms for the boys behind the front.
While those placea will be conducted
under Catholic auspices, all the SOL
diers, regardless of denomination are
alike welcome. Many of the boys, who
returned from the Mexican front, are
able to tell of the advantages and
home comfort provided for them by
the K. Of C.'s. The first million dol
lars was raised and over-subscribed in
a surprisingly short time, and the
knights are we'll up towards the third
million by this time. Mr.. Darby O'Mal-
ley has charge of the local contribu-
tions, which, towards the end of the
week, he will forward to headquarters.
The order appeals to knights and their
friends, Catholics and none Catholics,
to help them in their labor of love,
their truly patriotic work. Send your
contributions to Darby O'Malley.

Government Silent Regarding
Swedish Legation Exposure

Washington, Sept. 9.-State depart
ment officials today continued their
policy of absolute silence regarding
the governments exposure of how
Sweden's legation in Argentina acted
as secret channel of communication
for Count Luxburg, German charge in
Buenos Aires, and the Berlin foreign
Office, but it was plain they deplored
any attempt to color the incident as
forecasting diplomatic break be.
tween the United States and Sweden.
No such development is even
thought of at this juncture. At the
present stage it is wholly matter be-
tween Argentina, Sweden and Ger
many with the United States. her al
lies and the rest of the world interest
ed onlookers, eager to know how the
most remarkable train of events will
be explained or dealt with by the three
governments.
Germany's probable action is more
or less discounted. Anxious to retain
the friendship of the few nations
which have not gone to war with her,
it is expected that amends will be
offered to Argentina for the German
charges reference to the foreign min
lister as notorious ass' and his
recommendations that Argentine ships
be destroyed without leaving any
trace. This might take the form of
Luxburg's recall and reputation of
his action.

What About Argentina?

How Argentina will receive the in
suit. coming close on her diplomatic
victory with Germany is the subject
of a good deal of conjecture Undoubt-
ed!y public opinion in Argentina will
60 far toward stretching point.
The United States looks for action
which will purge the Swedish govern.
ment and the Stackholm foreign Office
of the stigma of knowingly having
been Germanys tool in her newest in
trigue American officials would like
to believe that Sweden officially dis
countenances any such encroachments
on her neutrality, and that Sweden's
legation was imposed upon by Lux
burg
Officials and diplomats entertain the
possibility that it may have trans
mitted Luxburg's dispatches without
knowing their exact contents, taking
the German charges word that they
were no breach of Sweden's obliga-
ti0ns, to Argentina. They also enter
tain the possibility that Luxburg, with
diplomacy of which the world has
learned more since German secrets be-
gan to leak out may have told the
: Swedish legation one thing aud writ
ten another in his dispatch.
pisavowal Expected
Whatever becomes the accepted ex-
PLANTATION, officials and diplomats here
are unanimous in their belief that
Sweden must disavow any participa-
tion or responsibility and take appro-
pirate steps to show her good faith
This may be difficult because of the
internal situation in Sweden where the
upper circles are admit tedly pro-Ger-
man; because of the fact that Swed-
en-, militarily weak nation, lies at the
mercy of Germany at her borders, and
also because Sweden may wish to
adopt one cause while Germany may
wish her to take another.
The Swedish government is in the
main neutral, but the lavish bestowal
of reward in the shape of orders and
decorations have won over certain Of
ficials to the German line.
The existance~ of an active German
propaganda in Sweden and Norway
dates back before the beginning of the
war when the fear of Russia was used
with the Swedes to such an extent
that the great mass Of the people were
pro-Germans The sentiment changed
gradually until when there was no
further fear of Russia, the mass of
the people sided with the allies.
