WHO WANTS TO TAKE A
CHANCE ON AN OAT CROP?

Editor News:
| have talked to several of the farm
ers in this district in regard to sowing
an oat crop this spring, which ! be-
lieve is going to be the best time we
have had in many years.
Some want to sow from 80 to 100
acres but are not able to buy the seed.
Now, | have proposition to put
up to anyone who feels that he has
the nerve to take the chance on q crop
in Quay county.
The farmer to prepare the land
say double-disk, or list it to keep the
weeds from getting a start of the oats
which will cost about $l.25 per acre
and the drilling will cost about 75c an
acre.
Now the other fellow to furnish the
seed which will cost about $l.00 to
Sl.l0 per bushel. 1t will take about
two bushels to plant an acre.
The farmer is TO have one fourth
(h) of said crop for rent of land. I
believe that is customary, and the re-
mainder-three fourths-is to be split
$3.50. The farmer is to harvest said
grain and put same in the stack and
each party is to take his grain away
from the thresher.
1t is easy to figure the big profits
to the man furnishing the seed pro-
viding the crop produces 20 or 80 bu.
of grain to the acre, even if the price
drops down to 75c per bushel. ! know
of several good men who will give any
one square deal if they want to fur
nish some seed on this plan.

PEACE CONFERENCE ADOPTS
PRESIDENT WILSON'S PLAN

Paris, Jan. 22-An official bulletin
issued by the press bureau this after
noon says
"The proposals of President Wilson
were approved, including recognition
by the associated powers of the right
of the Russian people to direct their
own affairs without dictation from
outside. The powers do not wish to
exploit Russia.
"The powers recognize the revolu-
ton, and in no way countenance a
counter-revolution. They wish to help
Russia unselfishly, and invite all or
ganized groups in Siberia or within
the boundaries of European Russia as
ii stood before the war to send repre-
sentatives to Princes islands to meet
representatives of the associated pow
ers, providing there is truce of arms
meanwhile.
Such representatives will be ex-
pected at the place appointed by Feb
ruary l5.
The supreme council of the great
bowers hopes to formulate a concrete
proposal on Russia at tomorrow's meet
ing.
This was the definite official an
nouncement of the communque issued
tonight, after the council had been con-
sidering the Russian situation con-
tinuously for the last two days.
1t can be added that while this con-
crete proposal was not finally decided
and reduced to writing, its main fea-
lures were agreed on in principle. The
members came from the session, how
ever, feeling that there was no SOW
ereign remedy assuring certain cure
for the difficult and dangerous situa-
ton, and that it would be desirable to
embody several lines of action in the
proposal.

DEFEND THEM
SELVES IN NORTH RUSSIA

Archangel, Tuesday, Jan. 22-Bol-
shevik troops are heavily shelling the
farthest south positions of the Ameri-
can and Russian armies at Ust Pad
enga, on the Waga river, thirty miles
south Of Shenkurska. They also are
showing considerable activity west Of
Shenturska on the Tania river. 1t
has been impossible to determine as
to whether the attack will develop on
a greater scale. The enemy has mob
ilized the peasants in the vicinity Of
Vilsk and apparently is prepared for
general offensive in the Shenturska
sector.
Sunday the enemy under cover Of
heavy bombardment, attacked with in
fantry, the American and Russian po-
sitions at Ust Padenga. The allied
outposts withdrew, but the Bolshevik
attack on the main positions was re-
pulsed with heavy losses.
There has been no infantry action
since, though there has been con.
stant rain of shells on the village.
The American artillery is vigorously
replying.
Yesterday, flying in temperature
Of 16 degrees below zero, one Amer!-
can airplane bombed the enemy and
secured direct hits on important Boil
sheviki.
The fighting is going on in cold,
clear weather but the temperature is
so low that it is difficult for the in
fantrymen to remain in the open any
length of time.

MRS. MATTE DAVIS
 DIES OF INFLUENZA

MESA, April Mrs. Matte Davis, aged 65 years, died at midnight Satur- day, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. R. M. Eleisher, of complications following an attack of influenza
 Mrs. Davis had been an invalid for several years, coming to Mesa from Kansas City more than a year ago in hope of securing relief from chronic rheumatism, which has kept her bed ridden or confined to an invalid's chair since before her arrival.
 Three years ago the dead woman lost her husband. His death brought on a nervous and physical breakdown from which she never recovered. Through her years of affliction her daughters, with tender ministry, attended her one of them, Miss Nadine, accom- panying the mother from Kansas City and remaining with her until the last.
 Two sons and four daughters are left to mourn, the loss of a most de- voted mother. The body is being pre- pared at the Gibbons undertaking par lors for shipment to Kansas City. The journey, which will enable the wife to he laid at last by the side of her hus- band, will be delayed few days pend ing the arrival of a. son, who with the daughter, Nadine, will accompany the body to the east.
