II has just been discovered that Of the

may be answered satisfactorily.
Small bore politicians are shrieking
denunciations against the government
for locating number Of training
camps in the south. II is incredible
that any sensible man should see par.
tisanship In the location OF these camps.
There are several good reasons why
the camps should be located in the
southern states. The principal one.
which alone is sufficient. is that ont.

1t will soon be the time OF year
when we will have to gather our cot
ton crop, and It looks at this time as
though we were going to have an ex-
ceptionally good yield.
The question Of securing cotton pick.
ers has never bothered any locality TO
any great extent heretofore, but we
anticipate there will be some trouble
this year in view of the fact that some
10000 negroes have been taken from
this state during the past twelve
months. and a great many more from
Texas | am told that this condition
exists throughout the cotton belt. 1t
is therefore apparent that we may be
confronted with some shortage and we
can not afford to lose any cotton this
year
II occurred to me that the oil mill
and gin owners could be of very great
service this year in carrying out this
work. Would il not be possible for
mill and gin owners to get in touch
with those gins i'm their immediate vi.
cinity and have them set about in a
systematic way to ascertain the needs
Of the community as to the number of
cotton pickers If they would under.
take this work early i'm August and
communicate this information through
to this department, it would be great
help in carrying on our campaign.
Probably the most important thing that
can be done, would be to urge upon
the cotton growers the apparent short
age of labor. and suggest to them that
they pick their cotton on the commun.
ity plan wherever possible. We carried
out this program very successfully
during the wheat harvest, and am
quite sure that it will work equally
well among your people.

The SPEAKERS
Defends Men Criticised at
Recent "Pro and Con"
Meeting In st. Paul

st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. Estate and
FEDERAL war measures touching the
farmer or organized labor were dis
cussed by speakers at q meeting of
the Equity Cooperative exchange
at the capitol Tuesday night.
The principal speaker was Cover
nor Lynn j. Frazier OF North Dako-
ia, who while scoring the press Of
the northwest, quoted one paper as
saying:
There is only one patriotic onicial
in North Dakota
4 fear that they didn't refer to
me-" he said.
March Friend of Labor.
Other speakers were James @. An
derson, head of the exchange, who
presided. and Colonel c. III. March,
vice-chairman of the public safety
commission, who introduced himself
by saying:
Il believe in farmer and labor or
CARNATIONS. Yes, am vice. chairman
of the public safety commission, too"
Frazier Mentions Button Wearing.
with organized labor doing what
1t is to relieve the shortage Of men
in the country, and bearing its bur-
dens of the war. what difference does
1t make whether man wears a
flag, a Liberty Loan button. or any
other kind Of a button on his coat"
Governor Frazier said.
He made this remark shortly after
the street car strike at Springfield,
Ill. which happened a few months
ago, was referred to, but did not re-
fer directly to the present labor sit
uation in the twin cities.
Upholds Labor's Rights.
"The farmers have no objection to
the fixing Of prices by the govern
ment, but they demand that the
products they are compelled to buy
also be reduced" he said, when
speaking OF federal grain grading
system.
tits all right to have the grain
graded, but not so that the middle
man gets the big profit"
Governor Frazier asserted that
the farmers and speakers at the re-
cent producers and consumers
meeting here had been unfairly
criticized, and accused the press OF
Minnesota and his own state for not
giving publicity to the patriotic ut
terances of some speakers.
Mr.. Anderson blamed public off,
cials for what he termed interfering
with the organization of farmers.
I'VE were first jerked up into
courts on trumped-up charges and
then scoffed at in the legislature, yes,
by the men who did their scoffing
in this very room.
This and other causes led up to
the organization Of the Nonpartisan
league. It was necessary for farmers
to organize and demonstrate their
political strength"
Colonel March confined his re-
marks chiefly to the discussion OF
farm matters. He advised farmers TO
raise registered hogs. cattle and
sheep.

1t was during more or less secret
conference in Washington early last
spring, just before war was declared.
Many prominent men were present,
both from the north and from the
south. The newspapers naturally
were anxious to get opinions first
hand from the members of the diff
ferent committees, but found it a
hard Job.
One reporter finally fairly corner
ed a courteous southerner-an elder
ly man Of the "old school,"
Mr.. Blank" said the reporter
persuasively, 'T would like to have
your opinion of the war"
well, ssh," said Mr.. Black very
courteously, II haven't thought OF ii
much lately, but i've always been Of
the opinion, sab, that Lee should not
have surrendered. Good evening,
sah."
And he left behind him a thor
ougl ly dazed reporter.
