THE ToMAHAWK, WHITE EARTH, MINI.
Authors Exp.u..,

St. Paul, Feb. S.-Representatives
of the Farmers Non-Partisan league
in Minnesota were seeing hobgoblins
when they SHE'D at the two blue sky
bills introduced in the House of Rep
resentatives, it is charged.
A denial that the two bills, Identical
in text, destroying the -legOtiabil1ty oc
promissory notes given to agents, So
lcitors and peddlers, were aimed at
the league, has been made by all OF
the authors.
Instead of being new bills. drawn at
this session, Sherman w. Child, CO.
author of one Of the bills. pointed out
that the measure had been drawn by
his father, S. R. Child and himself.
The bill was passed by the House in
1918 and was supported by the farm
ers at that time, he said.
Officials of the league have been
told that they would be permitted
to submit amendments correcting any
of the provisions that they thought
were directed at them. Such amend
ments are now being drafted.
Recommendation that the bill re-
pealing the boxing law be passed has
been made by the Senate committee
on general legislation. After a pub.
lie hearing in which the operation OF
the law was scathingly condemned by
representatives of the Y. M. G. A. and
churches of Minneapolis the commit,
tee voted to report favorably on the
repeal measure, 9 to 2.
This brings the fight against the re-
peal to the floor of the Senate, and in
the opinion of many to the House. The
boxing law passed the Senate with
but one vote to spare, 35 to 32, in 1915,
and its opponents unhesitatingly claim
enough switches to carry the repeal
bill

EXCELLENT RETURNS
FROM THE CANADIAN
WHEAT CROP
United States Settlers Becoming
Rich on Western Canada
Lands.

The large number of United States
settlers coming to the Western prov
inces Of Canada are easily explained
by the case Of Mr.. @. Lacy, late or
Wisconsin and later Of Alberta.
Mr.. Lacy came to Canada from Wis
consin in the summer Of 1914 with
81 500 available cash in his possession.
He rented a half-section OF partly I'M
proved land in Alberta and commenced
summer following. he broke 800 acres
with oats, 20 with barley, and 26O with
wheat. Also he had two COWS and ~
head of young live stock. He was for
tunate in buying feed at bargain and
managed to rent the adjoining quarter
section as pasture.
A few weeks ago he decided to real
ize his profits-and they amounted to
$4,000 absolutely clear from the crop
and the stock.
w. J. Winstead, of Brooks, Alberta,
says: .,
II landed in Brooks, March 18th,
1915, with one car of household effects,
and nine head Of good horses, and less
than $500 in cash. I have put $1,000
worth Of improvements on my farm. l
have 81 head of cattle, 16 head of
horses, debts all paid, new automo-
bile, and a good, stiff bank account.
At present prices I can cash in for
$4,000. I am well satisfied, and ex-
pect to double this next year.
I have threshed altogether 1000
bushels of No. 1 Northern wheat from
two hundHd acres, which went from
"a to Sc bushels per acre.
Seven thousand bushels Of wheat, all
No. Northern, two thousand bushels
Of oats, 67O bushels of flax, 700 bush
els Of barley-all at market prices
well, figure this out for yourself at the
market price. I sold 3,100 bushels Of
wheat at $1.74%, am holding the re-
mainder for $500. Also all the oats,
barley and flax for higher prices"
Intelligent farming pays always ac-
cording to Alex. Waite, a prosperous
farmer. Some figures to prove his con-
tention that he has "made good"
In 1914 Mr.. Waffle threshed 40 BUSH
els to the acre from a 3O-acre crop.
This sold for $160% per bushel, which,
after deducting seed, labor, twine,
threshing and freight, left a clear profit
of $50 per acre. or total Of $500.
From last years crop Of "a acres, just
sold, he received after freight had been

To Re-Enact EIweII Road Law.

st. Paul. Feb. "a bill to re-enact
the Elwell outside road law, repealed
by the 1915 legislature, has been in
troduced in the state senate. Backers
of the measure said it was designed to
eliminate Objectionable features that
led to the repeal of the former law.
Drawn by former Senator J. T. FL
well, Minneapolis, the new bill was in
troduced by Senators J. w. Andrews,
Mankato; G. E. Adams, Duluth; J. H.
Baldwin, Frazee; l.. II. Nord, Interna-
tional Falls, and O. H. Griggs.
One objection to the former law was
that it adopted the drainage ditch law
principles to the construction of roads,
whereas the measure just offered is
selfcontained. The new act provides
that petition for construction of an
Elwell road, to be known as "state
rural highway" must be signed by a
majority of the resident landowners
benefited. The old law required only
three signatures. The new bill pro-
vides that such a petition must be ap-
proved by both the board Of county
commissioners and the state rliral
highway commission before the road
is ordered.

too slow a method to right wrongs,

gain their ends, they are making no
excuse for things they have done.
Minnesota legislators, members of
the House committee on labor, were
given the above Information. Law
makers sat aghast while George An
dreychine, I. w. w. agitator, expOund-
ed the doctrines of the organization.
For the first time, some of them re-
allied the seriousness of the situa-
ton. An official l. w. w. circular
gave the legislators more food for
thought.
There were the customary uproars
In the meeting. Clashes between at
torneys, I. w. w. leaders and commit
tee members, characterized the ses-
sion. At times it looked as though
the hearing would have to be discon-
tinued.

PARIS, Dec. 3.-It will be tree less Belgium to which the people of that unfortunate country will return, if its invaders are not driven out be- fore they have completed their work of devastation. Factories have been despoiled of their machinery, every form of property has ben requisition- ed, and now woods, forests and even individual trees are being cut down the Belgian Ardennes, which used to protect the center of the country from east winds, are rapidly being denuded the tall elms that lined the highroads and canals have been felled, and wal nut trees that adorned the gardens of the well-to-do in Brussels have not been spared.
 In the early days of the occupa-  tion, the Belgian state forest depart ment was allowed to supervise the work of felling and see that it was scientifically conducted, but after few months the Germans took over the direction of the department and observed only one rule-to obtain the greatest amount of wood for military purposes in the shortest possible time.
 The Belgian government has been able to learn details of the work done such as that a thousand acres have been cleared in the Hertogenwald (Liege) and felling continues there
