Statewide immigration
Movement for N. Oak.

North Dakota's greatest and most
crying need of more farmers on the
farms of the state has been arrived at
The cutting up of the larger farms
and more quarter and half sections
cow corn, hog and silo farmers on the
farms will do more to solve the great
national questions of the high cost Of
living, increased food production and
labor than all other movements now
under way or being planned.
Under the statewide immigration
plan before another ten years will
have rolled around the population of
the state will have we'll passed the
million mark, our farm lands will have
reached the 500 acre mark and more
and all business in general, will have
doubled and trebled and an era of
great prosperity will have come to our
splendid state to stay.
For greater efficiency in carrying on
this great statewide immigration plan
the state is being divided into regions.
There is issued call for meeting
at Valley City on Aug; 9, when the
Sheyenne River Valley region will be
organized, comprising the counties of
Griggs, Steele, Barnes, Ransom and
Sargent, being the counties through
which the Sheyenne river flows.
1t is expected that fully 200 dele
gates will attend this meeting from
each county in the sheyenne River
valley region. When the statewide
and regional immigration plan will be
thoroughly gone over and explained.
Let every farmer, business man,
banker, ct al, who read this notice ap-
point himself a committee of one to
take an auto load to Valley City Aug.
IS. The meeting will be in the city han
and the call is for 100 sharp. There
is much to be done so come early that
we can be through by 6 p. m. There
will be good speakers from other
states to address the meeting.

Fletcher to Probe
German Activities
Among Mexicans

Washington, July $3.50 numerous
have become the reports of German
spy activities and propaganda in Mex
leo that Ambassador Fletcher is pre-
pared upon his arrival at Mexico City
to call the attention of the Mexican
government to the links in that coun-
try between Berlin and German agents
in the United States. The state de-
partment officials do not question the
integrity Of the Mexican government,
but the reports have left no room to
doubt the existence of a German Or
ganization in Mexico whose machina-
lions may be defined as a violation of
Mexico's neutrality. The Carranza
government is believed to be disturbed
by the abuse of it's hospitality, and
there is feeling here that the time
is not far distant when certain repre-,
sentatives in Mexico of the German
foreign Office may be officially ques.
toned as to their activities.
How extensive the work of the Ger
man agent has been in forwarding in
formation to Germany, has not been
ascertained by American agents, but
evidence Of their tireless activity in
propaganda has been produced. Since
Carl Heynen was arrested few weeks
ago on the charge of spy activities in
the United States, evidence has been
produced to indicate that he was init
mately connected with the German spy
system there and that the men who
formerly reported to him are contin-
| uing their efforts

U. S. Will Need $4,000
Physicians for Army

Washington, July 30.-Fully 24,0OU
physicians or two out of every nine of
military age in the country, will be
needed by the new American armies,
the war department announced yester-
day, in addition to 100000 enlisted men
who must be secured for the medical
corps. Haly of these physicians and
enlisted men will be needed by Oct. 1.
They already are going into training
camps to fit them for service, at the
rate of 200 a day. Three months
training is given the officers and men.
About 1880 officers and men are now
under training at these camps.
The demand for physicians is
probably the heaviest made by the
war on any profession, and the de-
partment says the medical men of
the country are meeting it readily.
There are approximately 10000
physicians Of military age, % to IS
years in the country. By a system
Of selection these will be modified
and drawn from each community in
to the number available
so as not to leave any community with
out adequate protection.

Preliminary Days Of War Is
Passed; France Needs Help

Washington, July 30-1n statement
tonight discussing the task before the
new war industries board, Frank A..
Scott, its chairman, declared the pre-
paratory stage of the war had passed
this country and that from now on
there must be real application BY
every man and every material force
Nations, not armies, are the units
of modern war;" said Mr.. Scott, Every
resource, human and material must be
placed at the disposal of our govern
ment.
I'VE are Waoing War"
IF it can be said that there has been
a preliminary stage Of our share in
are already in France and we have be-
gun the actual raising of huge army
here at home, to be sent abroad when
the time is ripe. We have passed the
period of expectation-We are waging
war.
Efficiency and economy in produc-
ing and distributing the governments
requirements are as necessary to sue
cess as courage and intelligence in
battle. The Injuries of peace must
give way to the necessities of war;.
Produce and then Produce
I'VE must standardize, economize;
then produce, produce This country
has the three great necessities for
making modern war-men, metal and
machinery. We must make them all
available now. Until we can claim the
victory speed must be our watch
word. Days saved now in the pro-
duction of war needs will mean lives
saved hereafter when our troops take
the field. Profit-making must now
yield to patriotism; extravaganza to
economy; selfshness to service"

Devils Lake World: If the labor

or hope that the honest laboring man
who comes here each year from Min

with us any more.
Grand Forks Herald: LaFollette
and Gronna are doing their best to
play into the hands of the kaiser. A
resolution of appreciation from the
German war cabinet, with an iron
cross or some trinket of that sort
would be an appropriate recognition
of their Industrious efforts.

still object to being called Huns? If
they do we shall try to call them by
their real name as soon as the postal
rules allow it.
Devils Lave World: The best way
to beat the food speculator is for ev
cry family able to do it to lay in a sup
ply of nonperishable garden products
and to do as much home canning as
possible. The food speculator cannot
speculate with the stuff you have in
your cellar or on the pantry shelves.
