VISITING HERE
Former Local Resident Tells
of Crop Conditions in
Southwest Dakota

DR.. ]. G. Moore. formerly of this
city. but who is now district super
intendent at Bismarck for the North
Dakota conference. of the N. p.
church, arrived in the city today and
will spend a short time here visiting
with old friends.
DR.. Moore recently attended the
~dedicatory services of a $4,000 church
at Marmarth, N. D.. and has been
touring a large section Of the state.
delivering patriotic addresses. At
Mineral Springs. N. D., last Thursday,
he addressed nearly 200 auto parties
from a platform constructed of
shingle bundles and a barn door.
When speaking OF the crop condi-
tons in southwestern North Dakota,
DR.. Moore said:
"a yield of from 2 to 10 bushels of
wheat is being reported. In occasion
al spots, where precipitation was
heavy. the yields are somewhat bet
ter. In parts Of Adams, slope, Bow
man and Hettinger counties, grass
hoppers have done untold damage
and in some places oat and fax fields
have been completely cleaned. so that
scores Of farmers will nave neither
oats nor flax. The wheat crop was
out of the way before the hoppers got
to them and they then took to the
green grain. Many Of the farmers
moved their oats and fax and then
raked them for feed. There is much
speculation as to what may be tbs
conditions next year. The hoppers
have moved north about rs miles this
season"
DR.. Moore says he had eve seen
the work of the hoppers before but
declares that it will compare with
any hail storm he has ever witnessed
in the devastation Of crops. The gen.
eral disappointment in the western
part of the state is the oats and flax
production.

Tho Policy Of FrishtfuIness Has
Never Been Chanaed.

When Germany Dashed into
Belgium in August, 1914, the
American people looked on I'M
concernedly never supposing
they would be involved. They
thought that the world could fight
without their being bothered. We
never had been bothered much by
European affairs. The allies
were disappointed because the
United States did not pitch in and
the Germans were disappointed
because we sold munitions to the
allies. Based on these two
causes the allies were not friend
" and the Germans were quite
unfriendly. But even then tile
American people thought it was
mot our war" The first year OF
the war dragged along and we
kept out Of it. The Germans
bottled up the British navy with

a Perplexlns Problem.

The highway committees in
both houses are going TO have
their hands comfortably filled
with conflicting provisions that
will require days of hearings and
debate, all tending to correct and
amend the highway laws to suit
the ideas and fancies of individ-
uals in and out of the legislature.
There are almost as many opin-
ions on the road and highway
laws as there are people, and
when it comes to getting 15s
members of the legislature into
harmonious action to make a de-
cision along any cerain line OF
procedure for the construction
and maintenance of good roads,
you can imagine it is a pretty
hard problem. 1t is already evil
dent, however, that someNform of
state supervision will be retained,
land whether this state supervis-
ion is through a state highway
commission or through state
engineer, who will be the head OF
the roadmaking power, will be
one of the big questions. Prob
ably majority of the house
members will favor a state high
way engineer, in order to get the
supervision of roads out of the
hands of the authorities at Ames,
and not because it will mean any
less expense or any better road
making. Senator G. L. Caswell
