.HOPPERS UNDER
CONTROL, PLAN
NOW FOR 1920.
County Agent Declares Poison
Has Done It's Work-Fall
Flowing to Finish Job

Reports from over the county are
to the effect that the hoppers are
fairly we'll under control and that the
infestation has been effectively
checked by the poisoned bran which
has been scattered over all of Bur-
leigh, advises George w. Gustafson,
county agent.
1T is no longer q question of saw
ing the crops for this year, but the
fight should continue through the
summer to get the hoppers that are
daily Matching out" says Mr.. Gustaf-
son. "These are the ones that will
lay the eggs for next year, and unless
they are poisoned the infestation in
1920 will be more severe than the
present.
Many farmers are depending upon
the red mites to destroy the hoppers
but they are pinning their hopes to
the stars. The red mite found In
large numbers on the larger grass
hoppers Is perfectly harmless to the
hopper, simply stealing free ride
on the back of their host.
Fall ploughing is one OF the best
remedies in fighting the hoppers, and
as much of that as possible should be
done this fall. Grain stubbled in is
now most greatly infested, as we'll as
rye and flax. Good, thorough and
systematic cultivation and plowing
will do a lot to lessen the grasshop.

WILSON V[.TO[S
BILL REPEATING
DAYLIGHT Law
Sends Agriculture Measure Back
and Defends New Time
GRAVE INCONVENIENCE
Points Out That Advantage Of
Act Repealed Outweigh All
Criticisms

Washington, July 12.-President Will
son today vetoed the agricultural bill
because Of its provision repeating the
daylight saving law.
The president also vetoed the sundry
civil measure because Of certain items
ct the bill which seem to me likely to
bear most serious consequences
In regard to the agricultural bill the
president sent the following to the
house:
Il take the liberty of returning H. r.
1857, an act making appropriation for
the department of agriculture for fiscal
year ending June 80, 1920, without my
signature
II realize Of course the grave in.
convenience which may arise from the
postponement Of the legislation at this
time, but feel obliged to withhold my
signature because Of the clause which
provides that after Sunday, October 26,
next, the act entitled an act to save
daylight and to provide standard time
for the U. S. approved March 10, 1918,
be and the same is hereby repealed"
GREAT INCONVENIENCE
II believe that the repeal Of the act
referred to would be Of very great In.
convenience to the country and think
I am Justified in saying it would con-
stitute something more than an incon-
vcnience.
1T would involve serious economic
loss. The act Of March 10, 1918, to
save daylight resulted not only from a
careful study of the industrial cOndi-
tions by competent men familiar with
the business operations Of the country,
but also from the observations Of the
happy and beneficial Consequences of
such legislation in other countries
where legislation of this character has
been for some time in operation and
where it has resulted in substantial
economy. The act was intended to
place the chief Of business activity Of
the country as nearly as might be with
in the limits Of daylight throughout the
year. 1t resulted in very great ecOn0-
mics of fuel and in substantial econ
omy of energy because Of the effects of
work done in the daylight and work
dcne in the artificial light. 1t also
serves beneficialy the social conditions
Of the country, and 1T convinced me I
should not be justified in acquiescing
in its repeal t

MORTON DEPUTY
LANDS MEN AFTER
HOT STERN CHASE

Mandan, July 12.-Deputy Sheriff
Mueller had merry chase after Nc
Arthur and Smith, two men who op'
ened an automobile repair shop in
the old Tobin garage about three
weeks ago, representing themselves
to be former Canadian soldiers. They
closed up shop after running num-
Der of bills in town and it is alleged
they took with them number OF
tools and tires that were in the shop
that did not belong to them.
Armed with this warrant, Deputy
Mueller went to Jamestown where
the men had been located by the
chief of police. They were with
their wives and they all agreed to
meet the officer at No. I on Monday
night. When he got to the train the
women were there but the men could
not be found The next morning the
sheriff at jamestown got word that a
car had been stolen at Spiritwood
lake, and Mueller discovered that a
laundry boy had carried two men
from Jamestown to Spiritwood the
night before. He kept track Of the
women and found they purchased
tickets to Darlington, and on arriv-
ing at Darlington he enlisted the
support of the officers there and
finally that night when the 500 train
pulled in the men were found, one OF
them curled up in seat in the smok-
er, the other behind lot Of fruit
baskets. The car that was taken
from Spiritwood was later found
ditched several miles from there.
While the officers have no evidence
that Macarthur and Smith took the
car, they will be held here on the
larceny charge pending an investiga-
tion.
The women arrived in the city on
No. 8 and they and their children
are being cared for by the county,
they being destitute, N

LAW
NOT POPULAR IN
RURALDISTRICTS
New Statute for Protection of
Women and Girls Works
Hardship on Farmers

Some unexpected features of the
eight-hour law for women and min
ors which are now cropping out are
not increasing the popularity Of this
statute, especially in the rural dis
tricts. A we'll known Slope farmer
who had occasion to employ train
ed nurse, under this act, it is stated
found it necessary to engage three
nurses, each at $35 per week, ir ord
er to comply with the act and tO
avoid compelling any of the young
women to spend more than eight
hours on duty in any one day. His
expenditure for these professional
services for one week was $105
Heretofore, in the most serious cases
two shifts have been used, while or.
dinarily, where the demands were
not too exacting, one special nurse
has handled the case alone. This il
Is said, will be no longer possibl ,
under the eight-hour law.
"The real trouble" said an exas
perated agriculturist this morning
lis with our hired girl help. They
have learned about this eight-hour
law in the cities, and they prefer
eight hours in laundry or a store to
twelve to sixteen hours in domestic
service, even tho at the end of the
month they may have less money to
show for their work. Girls are leav.
ing the country in droves, and the
help problem is becoming serious
just at a time when we need helm
worst, to cook for the harvest and
threshing crews"
The eight-hour law does not apply
to domestic help nor to girls employ
ed in any occupation in villages OF
500 or less. The result, IL ~ sald, Is
an exodus to the larger cities.

AGENCY IN CITY

T. w. Childs, representing the
Equity Coal & Light Co., Of Coal
Banks, on the Milwaukee line west of
Regent, has established a sales
agency in Bismarck. He is of the
opinion that the new rail rates will
enable the company to sell its coal
down here at $500 per ton on the
track. The company is operating an
exceptionally fine 15-foot vein at
Coal Bank, where it is building a
model city. There has been devel.
oped by prospecting 50,0O0,OO0 tons
of good Ignite, says Mr.. Childs, who
contends that 230 pounds of this fuel
is equivalent in a self-feeder to 1870
pounds of the best anthracite. The
Ignite costs about rs per cent as
much as anthracite.

Cettinje, July 12.-Montenegro is in
an eruptive spirit as she faces the
crisis of peace.
The tiny Balkan state that was one
of the original allies-having de
clared war on Austria August Z, 1914
-emerges from war wiped off the
map Of Europe, swallowed up in the
New Jugo-Slavia.
And now Montenegro doesn't know
whether she likes it or not.
Torn by dissension at home, shorn
OF her king who lives in exile in
Paris, only at war with her own Mo.
hammedan subjects, in the territory
acquired in the Balkan wars, and on
the verge Of hostilities with Italy
Montenegro needs friend.
There is very bad feeling in Monte
negro toward italy, growing out OF
the general Jugo-Slav antagonism
aroused by Italy's aspirations on the
eastern coast of the Adraitic. Prac
tically the whole Dalmation coast is
occupied by Italian troops with q
sprinkling Of French who alone keep
the peace between Italian and Jugo
Slav. There is bad feeling in Cat
taro, which was Austrian before the
war, though the mountains behind
were Montenegrin. But it is far from
being as serious as in Antvari, or Bar
originally a Venetian colony.
The present government is backed
chiefly by Montenegrin troops, but it
has also much smaller number OF
Serbs. All Of these are considered
Jugo-Slavs, since the proclamation
Of the kingdom of the Serbs, Croats
and Slovenes.
Curiously enough the only troops
l have seen worthy of the name OF
Jugo Slavs are from America, and
speak English to man. They are
volunteers of Jugo-Slav race, recruit
ed in America, chiefly from the mines
and steel works. Most of them that
talked with were born under the Aus.
trian flag, few only were originally
subjects of Nicholas or Peter of Ser
bia.
They are unselfish Jugo Slavs
without regional, tribal or religious
affiliations clearly different from
the old type that cause the bitter jeal
ousy in Balkan affairs and set neigh
bors to cutting each others throats
to the Joy and profit Of the outsider.
These American Ju0o-SIavs are the
only men who can save Montenegro
from herseIf-the men who must pre-
vent disastrous eruption in this
volcano Of the Balkans.
In montenegro itself there are three
shades Of political opinion, royalist
federalist and auuionist The .royalisl
party. desiring the return of King
Nicholas to the throne, is very small
minority, but has shown considerable
military activity. In centers in Mich
