ISOLATION, was in attendance. He ar
rived in Fargo from Hope, Tuesday
evening, but had to leave for Bis
marck to attend the extra session OF
the state legislature. In his absence
the registration and the clerical work
in connection with the convention is
being ably cared for by A. r. Nc
Laughlin Of Cakes, and M. G. Kittel
or Darlington. L. G. Pryor Of Min
neapolis, editor Of Farm Implement
News, is among the convention visit
ors and is taking notes and reports
for his publication.
Afternoon Session.
The invocation this afternoon was
given by DIR. Henry III. Frost. pastor
Of the First Methodist church. He
followed with his address. The
Business Mans Obligations" c. E.
Jones. president of the association.
was scheduled to give his annual ad-
dress to the convention this after
noon. Another speaker for the after
noon Is f. r. Todd Of Moline. ILL.,.
who is to discuss the manufacturers
viewpoint Of The Implement Dealer
and the War" The question box is
In charge Of D. G. Mcintosh of st.
Thomas.
Two Canadian Speakers.
AS one Of the big features Of the
implement dealers convention which
opened here this morning. the com
mittee in charge Of the arrangements
announces that it has procured Sam
uel Allison and David Griffiths. Of
Winnipeg, Canada, who will give a
lecture on their first hand experience
with the first Canadian contingent that
went over to France. The soldiers
will be heard at the Auditorium this
evening.
Allison and Griffiths have seen
practically every angle Of the fight
ing Of the first two years of the war
Mr.. Allison went over the top with the
first troops that left Canada in the
Of 1914, having enlisted with
the Sixteenth Canadian Scottish reg
iment. He was in the second battle
Of Ypres and went through that first
terrible gas attack when gas was an
unknown weapon to the boys in the
war. He was gassed but not taken
prisoner.
Mr.. Allison also possesses a wide
knowledge Of military training par
ticularly the British military train
ing, having been taught that pri-
marily by his father, who spent his life
In the imperial service. He has al
so given the aerOplane considerable
study.
Mr.. GrifHiths is a Welshman and
went over to France about the same
time that Allison said farewell to the
Dominion. He also saw some very san
culinary fighting and was wounded in
he leg, taken prisoner and then saw 10
months Of German military hospital
and detention camp life. He is a very
animated speaker and is not afraid to
give credit when credit is due. He
gives the Germans credit for any de- |
cent acts he knows OF, and therefore, |
nay be absolutely relied upon for the |
ruth when he tells anything of their |
atrocities. Mr.. Griffiths' detention !
experience is particularly interesting, |
yery little on that subject having been |
to light up to this time.

Glimpses Of the picturesque arid
Motave Desert in San Bernardino
county, California, and life as it ex-
listed there about fifty years ago, are
shown in 1.-The Winding Trail" a
Metro picture starring Viola Dana,
which will be presented at the Isis
theater today and Thursday.
The story Of this interesting pic
ture is laid in the west in the min
ing and prospecting days of the
1905. Audrey Graham. the heroine
(played by Viola Dana), goes from
New York to the west. There is no
railroad across the desert at the time
this story takes place, and Audrey
makes the trip in a typical prairie
schooner All the trials and thrilling
experiences encountered on the des-
ert in the early days are lived
through by the little heroine.

law and treaties must be kept
sacred. All nations Of the world
must be protected against future
wars by establishment of democratic
forms Of government that viii truly
be for and OF the people, autocracy,
plutocracy and militarism must be
put down. The United States is in
this war for principle, justice and
democracy and the great problem
of the American people today is to
win the war as soon as possible. All
resources of the nation are pledged
for that purpose.
THE people OF North Dakota are
doing their part and the state must
cooperate with the nation in order
that the best results may be attain
ed. Many of our boys are now on
the battle front, many more are in
training camps and still more are
ready to go. These boys are making
the supreme sacrifice and it is the
patriotic duty OF every citizen to
back our army in every way posi-
bic, in order that they may accom-
plish the desired results as quickly
as possible. The best support we
can give them is insignificant when
compared with the sacrifice that they
are making for us.
E00l " necessary
Food production is one thing that
is absolutely necessary in order to
win the war. We must have a suffi-
cient supply OF food products and
this nation is looking to North Da-
kota as a great agricultural state to
do her share towards furnishing this
supply.
''Our people are willing to do all
in their power, but owing to poor
crops in part Of the state it is inn
possible under the present laws to
procure sufficient feed and seed to
insure a good crop acreage for next
spring.
Seed Bonding Law.
1.-THE principal object in calling
this special session was to amend
the county seed bonding law to make
it meet the present needs. The
amount of seed and feed to each
farmer should be raised so that all
available land may be put into crop.
provision should also be
made to protect the county against
loss Of payments and provision
should be made that where necessity |
demands feed may be provided as
soon as possible"

II would also recommend that |

kind OF advertising will certainly not
benefit us.
The crop reports now coming in
show tht even in those places where
the crop suffered most. from dry
weather there will be fair yield and
in many parts Of the Slope the returns
will approach a bumper crop. These
facts should be advertised and there
is no better way to advertise than to
show what the season has produced.
Some organization in each county
OF the Slope should take this matter
up at once and see that there is an
exhibit of the cOunty's best products
exhibited at the Missouri Slope fair.
Each exhibit will be placed in booth
by itself and will stand out as an ex-
hibit OF that county's products, and
the premiums for these exhibits will
be paid to the organization or indl-
viduals making the exhibits. y

New Era for South. H..
The power developed here is gang
| to make this part Of the south the
center of great electrOchemical and
observation-disclosures industry. Within
3OO.mile rdius of Muscle Shoals are
to be found raw materials for half a
dozen such industries. These include
Arkansas banzite, for aluminium man.
ufacture: magnesium from the Tenn
essee valley beds of magnetism dolo-
| mite; potash from the high grade pot
! ash felspars of the southern Appalach-
ians; zinc ferro-silicon, and ferro-
PHOSPHORUS; calcium carbide from
limestone and coal near by; chlorine,
caustice alkali and sodium, from the
salt wells of West Virginia and Louis
lana; electrodes from the graphite
fields Of ALBANIA; phosphorus fer
tilizzer from the deposits Of phos-
phate rock within 60 miles of Muscle
Shoals. 1t only requires an abundance
of cheap power to make these raw ma
terials available. T.
Because Niagara Falls had the
cheap power, banxite has been ship
ped all the way from Arkansas there
to make aluminium. Graphite had
been sent there from Alabama to
make electrodes. Similarly the whole
electro-chemical industry at the Falls
is dependent on the cheap power pro-
duced.
When Muscle Shoals produces q
cheaper power and has the advantage
of raw material of its dOns, it would
seem that a new industrial era is op-
ening here for the south.
