The Future of
The Motorcycle
Nick Held, Harley Davidson Dealer,
Gives Ideas of Motorcycles
Future

"There are several reasons why we
may expect the motorcycle industry
in this country to receive a great i'm
petus during the next few years. In
the first place there is probably no
other means of transportation that
will carry a single person over
given distance at the same low cost
as the dependable little two wheeler.
Its high fuel economy is bound to
prove a factor of increasing impor-
tance as the fuel situation becomes
more critical. Aside from this the
motorcycle affords chance to save on
tires and on general upkeep.
We are now being exhorted from
all sides to practice economy, and the
chances are that before long circum-
stances will impose economy on q
great many of us. Pleasure riding
may be curtailed but the country's
industrial activities will be acceler-
ated, and this means, among other
things, an increased need for quick
individual transportation"

WASTE THAT EVERY WOMAN
.. SHOULD PREVENT

Keeping quality is of vital impor
tance in these days of high costs, and
low supply of food products.
No matter how high the quality Of
an article purchased, if it lacks keep
ing quality it represents so much c:r-
tain waste.
This is noticeably true of Baking
Powders. A Baking Powder that is
effected by time or climatic condi-
tions-one that deteriorates is bound
to cause bake day loss. Such a powder
not only necessitates using larger
amounts but invites failure through
it's uncertainty. These powders should
be avoided. No matter how big a
quantity You obtain-no matter how
cheap they may seem because of low
price they are expensive as they
waste in materials many times more
than saving of cost. Calumet Bak-

DRILL FOR OIL

New England, N. D., March IS
The work of organizing for the pur-
pose of obtaining a charter and in
cooperating for a sufficient sum to
finance and develop the new oil field
in this section Of the state, is going
on rapidly. There is considerable
enthusiasm among farmers and bus
mess men of New England as to the
possibility of big oil reservoirs around
here. Several leases have been made

Fairmount, Mimi, March l5-Judse
c. M. Tiff, sitting at the trial of A,
C. Townley, president of the Nation
al Nonpartisan league, and Joseph
Gilbert, state secretary of that or
ganization, charged with conspiracy
to obstruct the selective draft, over
ruled the demurrer asked by the at
torneys for the defendants and GER
titled the case to the state supreme
court at the opening of court this
morning.
Judge Tiff yesterday heard the ar:
guments on the demurrer and made
known his decision .overruling the
request of the attorneys for the de-
fense.
Arguments on the demurrer con-
sumed practically all of yesterdays

league, spoke for three hours in sup
port of the demurrer and County

ing Powder is quality Baking powder

ing Powder is a quality Baking powder
with the greatest of keeping quality.
It retains it's wonderful leaving power
regardless of how long it may
stand on your pantry shelf. You use
but a level teaspoonful when the can
is first opened and you continue to
use the same amount to the last spoon
full. This means economy in Baking
Powder-and what is more important
it means economy in bakings. Its
moderate price combined with su-
perior quality and dependability
marks the greatest of buying econ
omy. You save when you buy it.
You save when you use it. And you
save the materials it is used with.
It's economy, purity and unapproach-
ed keeping quality keeps millions of
women buying Calumet in preference
to any and all other brands.

T0WNlEY AND GILBERT HAVE TO
STAND TRIAL IN MINNESOTA

Atty. A. X. Allen, an hour and a half
against it.
Answering assertions of LIE Sueur
that the league, its officers and litera-
ture are thoroughly loyal, the county
attorney declared that the resolutions
adopted by the organization at the
La Toilette meeting in St. Paul last
fall "reek with treason" and that to
argue that they are patriotic "stulti-
fies the good judgment of the court"
Mr.. Allen objected to a request Of
the league attorneys to the court that
in the event that the demurrer is
overruled to certify the case to the
supreme court without letting it 90
to the jury. He called this plan to
delay a decision until next fall or
later while the doctrines are further
spread throughout the state.
President Townley issued the fol-
lowing personal statement yesterday
in reply to the recent criticism of
Governor Burnquist on the league,
and its acts:
Statements made by Governor
Burnquist in reply to an invitation
of the Nonpartisan league to address
its convention to be held in St. Paul
this month must be disappointing to
thousands of his friends and to the
farmers and organized labor of the
state. Governor Burnquist has lower
ed the dignity of his office by stoop-
ing to the tactics of the ordinary
politician. His letter to the Non
partisan league is slap in the face
and direct insult to over 10000 or
ganized farmers and their friends in
Minnesota and $4,000 members of
organized labor in the cities of the
state.
"Such an attack and such an atti-
tude would be much more becoming
on the part of car or king than
from the chief executive of the state
of Minnesota, who was elected by the
people.
"Charges of disloyalty hurled at
the organized farmers and workers of
this state are too ridiculous to de-
mand denial. Their subscriptions to
the Liberty Loan, the Red Cross and
other war relief agencies are well!
known. The farmers, short-handed,
as they are, are now preparing to
work harder than ever and raise
greater crops to feed the United
States and it's allies and support their
own sons who have gone over there
"A large part of Governor Burn
quist's letter dealt with matters ia
miliar to North Dakota farmers who
have asserted their voice in the gov
ernment of that state. Attacks by
politicians are an old story to the
farmers, who are becoming acquaint-
ed with attacks in this state also.
"The invitation to Governor Burn
quist to address the league conven-
tion was sent in the interests of har-
mony. While the Nonpartisan league
may differ politically with Governor
Burnquist, the differences are only
political, and the governor was in
vited with the idea of prosecution of
the war, which is our chief concern
now. I regret that the governor ut
terly refuses to cooperate"

Would NatiOnaliZe
Our Motor Corps
Would Broaden Scope of Woman'a
Motor Corps. Many Operated
Under Red Cross

A Bureau of Motor Corps Service
of the American Red Cross has been
established to nationalize and broaden
the scope Of the woman S motor corps,
which until now have been merely
adjuncts of local chapters in the sew
eral cities where such work has been
organized. 1t is hoped under the new
organization to have motor corps in
service in every city in the country
soon.
1900 In Corps
Investigations made by the newly
created motor corps bureau show that
between seventy-five and 100 motor
corps are operating under the aus
pices of as many Red Cross chapters
in different parts of the country. Ap-
proximately 1900 women and girls
are volunteers in the service, and the
cars in use as rule are owned as we'll
as operated by the volunteers.
If all goes we'll the number of mo-
tor corps will be expanded to 700.
The national bureau would like to have
every Red Cross chapter supplement-
with a motor corps. Under the ma
tional control the rules governing the
service will be standardized and
strictly enforced. Women who want
to enter the motor corps will be re-
quired to take an examination in such
essentials as a fair knowledge of me-
chanics, acquaintance with traffic
rules, first aid, etc. In addition, par
ticular care will be taken in estab-
fishing safeguards to prevent any,
thing that would reflect on the high
character of the Red Cross and tend
to bring humiliation to the young
women enlisted in the work.
The department of military relief
of the Red Cross is making elaborate
arrangements to look after soldiers
who come back wounded and these
who have been crippled but recon-
structed so that they can be sent back
to their homes. No matter how re-
mote from the port of arrival the
home of the returning soldier may
be, the Red Cross plans to go with
him on the way through systematic
relay service to see that his journey
is made pleasant and that he has at
tention after he reaches his destlna-
tion., The motor corps is to play an
important role in carrying out this
scheme.
During the recent coal famine so gen.
eral throughout the country, valiant
service was performed by the men,
bers of the Red Cross motor corps,
who carried bags Of coal in their cars
to the homes of the poor. The Wash
ington corps at present is the largest
in the country. It has sixty men,
| bers, fifty-seven passenger cars, three
ambulances and a motor truck.

ATTEMPT TO ROB WAREHOUSE

Bismarck, March 16.-A bold st-
tempt to rob the warehouse of the
Bismarck Marble and Granite Works
was made Monday night. and but for
the fact that the foreman, Aug. Fred
erick, was sleeping in the office, the
raid would have been successful. 1t
is thought that they were after
large coil of copper cable that was
among the goods stored there. En-
trance was gained through baci;
window. There were two of them
and a slight noise made by Mr.. Fred
erick frightened them and they made
their escape through the window.

RUSSIAN CONGRESS RAT|F|ES
Terms DICTATED BY GERMANS

Petrograd, March IA, Thursday
The All-Russian congress of soviets,
meeting at Mascow today, by a vote
of 453 to 80, decided to ratify the
peace treaty with the central powers.
M. Ryazonov, a prominent Bolshe-
vik theorist, and representatives OF
all the professional unions resigned
from the Bolshevik party after the
vote.
The action of thes All-Russian cong
ress of soviets in accepting the Ger
man peace clears the way for an
nouncement Of allied intentions as
regards Japanese intervention in ST.
IBERIA and gives Germany vast oppor-
tunities for political and economic
penetration of the former Russian en-
pire. The decision of the congress is
the elimination of the peace steps
begun by the Bolshevik government
last December.
By the peace terms Russia must
give up Poland, Courland, Livonia,
Esthonia and the Ukraine. In Asia
Minor the Russians are compelled to
retire from Armenia and to cede to
the Russia districts of Batoum, Kars
and Erivan.
Russia must renounce all claims to
the occupied territories in Europe,
Germany and Austro-H Hungary to de-
eide the fate of these regions in agree
ment with their populations. The
Russian army must be demobilized
and Russian warships are to be dis
armed.
More important to the central
powers is the reopening of navigation
in the Black and Baltic seas and the
signing by Russia under compulsion
of a new commercial treaty, with
guarantees of a most favored nation
treatment, at least until 1925. The
Bolsheviki also promised to put an
end to all propaganda and agitation
within the central empires and in oc-
cupied territories under their control.

DO 1T FOR BABY
The Ever.GrOwlng Baby
(By Ruth Danenhower Wilson of The
Vigilantes.)

81 have found perfect routine for
my baby" a young mother said to me
last fall about her 11-months-old son.
give at last found just the food that
agrees with him. He weighs exactly
the average for his age. I've learned
just the amount of food and sleep and
air and exercise he ought to have.
Now I'm going to stop thinking about
him, 60 along in the same routine and
devote my energy to war work"
Five months later her baby was
very i'll. The doctor who had last
seen him rosy and healthy at eleven
months found him underweight,
white, flabby and anaemic. All Of
which was leading to ricketts,.
What had happened under the per-
feet regime? Simply that what was
perfect for eleven months was not
right for twelve, was still worse for
thirteen, and at sixteen months the
baby was in serious condition of
nder-nourishment
Almost as soon as we mothers feel
we have found the right routine 1t is
time to change 1t. Let us give all
possible time to war work, but never
for moment relax our thought for
,baby's care, for that is very impor-
tant war work.
A baby under year old that is not
nursed should have its food increased
slightly about every two weeks. AZ
ter year the diet may be gradually
enlarged and strengthened about ev.
cry month or six weeks according 70
the individual babys appetite and di-
gestion.
II our babies stood still in their de-
velopment we should be In fair way
Of losing them.
Remember that babies are like fly
Ing aeroplanes. II they stop they
fall.
Amy mother who does not know
what to do for her baby has only to
write to the Children's Bureau Of the
Department of Labor at Washington
and helpful pamphlets, written by spe-
cialists, will come to her at once.)
