Commercial ClnD
Repudiates Action
of Senator GrONna

g. To Woodrow Wilson, President
o of the United States:
@ At regular meeting of the
o Dickinson Commercial Club held
o on the 7th of March, 1917, the
o following resolution was unani-
9 mously adopted:
o RESOLVED: That the Dick
o insono Commercial Club, repre-
@ sentipg every business industry
o in the city, whose activities ex-
o tend over an area of hundreds
@ of square miles, hereby record
@ themselves as standing squarely
@ behind the President Of the
o United States in his act of sew
O erance of diplomatic relations
9 with country whose integrity
@ and friendship we have never be-
o fore questioned, but who, by de-
@ iberate acts has made necessary
o the course adopted, if we are to
o maintain the priceless heritage
o handed down to us by our fore
@ fathers. -
o RESOLVED FURTH E R:
o That we condemn as unpatriotic,
o unAmerican and even traitor
o Gus, the action of Senator A. J.
o Gronna, in refusing to support
o the President in this great in
o ternational crisis. That he mis-
v represents the spirit of the
o loyal citizens, both native and
o foreign born, of the State OF
o North Dakota. We believe that
o he sang to his political foster
o father, the senator from Wis
o consin, that ever golden hymn,
o "Lead Kindly Light, Lead Thou
o me on" The vengeance of the
o citizens of North Dakota is GER
o tain and they will repay.
o RESOLVED: That a copy OF
o this resolution be forwarded to
o the President of the United
o States, to Senator A. J. Gronna
O and to the Press.

War measures on the farm

Women and Gardening

Without going beyond their
own dooryards, millions of A
merican women and children can
render service to the nation this
summer as real as that rendered
by the soldier on the field of bat
tie. They each can do this by
merely planting and caring for a
home garden,
Radishes, onions, lettuce, beets
beans, peas, tomatoes, lima beans
spinach, and numerous other
easily cultivated vegetables can
be raised in the back yard pro-
vided the soil is fertile and intel

Food Supply Imperative.

The Importance to the nation
of generously adequate food
supply for the coming year cam
not be over emphasized in view
of the economic problems which
may arise as a result of the en-.
trance of the United States into
the war. Every effort should be
made to produce more crops than
are needed for our own require
ments. Many millions of people
across the seas. as we'll as our
own people. must rely in large
part upon the products of our
fields and ranges. This situa-
ton will continue to exist even
tho hostilities should end unex-
pected since European produc-

They are:

They are:
FIRST. TheOimmediate plant
ing of food for present use of
themselves and livestock and the
planting of surplus corps as will
secure an adequate food supply
for the coming year. Plant to
the limit of successful produc-
ton, conining such planting by
preference to the food products
with which the individuals are
most familiar. Plan for an in
creased acreage in wheat and
other fall grains for the coming
year.
SECOND. Guard most ZEAL
ously the seed supply for the
coming year. The neglect of
saving on the farm o. sufficient
seed may defeat future planting
and crop production.
THIRD. Wherever surplus
seed for this planting exists, ar

my FELLOW COUNTRYMEN:

he entrance of our own beloved country into the grim
and terrible for democracy and human rights which has
shaken the world creates many problems of national life
and action which call for immediate consideration and settle
ment that hope you will permit to address to you few
words of counsel and appeal with regard to them
"We rapidly putting navy upon an effective war
footing and about create and equip great army but
these the simplest parts of the great task to which we have
addressed ourselves &+ 4
''There is not a single selfish element so far |
in the cause we are fighting for We fighting for what we
believe and wish be the rights of mankind and for the
future peace and security of the world
ITO do this great thing worthy and successfully must
devote ourselves the service without regard profit or ma

rise to the level of the enterprise itself.
I'VE must realize to the full how great the task is and how
many things how many kinds and elements of capacity and
service and self-sacrice it involves.

These then are the things must do and do WELL be-
sides fghngthe things without which fighting would
be frutless:
I'VE must supply abundant food for ourselves and for
