Washington Withdrawal of
the United States from the lea
que of nations within two years
unless all nations abolish con-
scription is proposed in a bill in
troduced today by Senator Jones,
republican, of Washington. The
measure also provides that the
American representatives shall
not consent to any decision to
use military or naval forces un-

Another provision in the bill
is that American delegates to
the league of nations shall be
elected by the people for a term
of four years. Their salaries
would be $4,000 annually and
no person under 25 years would

COAL
NINE BIG TASK

While the report of Professor
OHara, of the state school of
mines shows that the coal sup
ply of the northwest part of this
state is over billion tons, the
state commission selected to Sc
cure site to develop coal on the
part of the state is not finding
it an easy task to get location
that could be worked with profit.
They find that practically all the
locations that can be worked
with profit, and which are with
in practical distance of railway
transportation, have been locat-
ed and opened up by private op-
orators before the state develop
ment was started, but they have
men out testing different To-
cations with the view of finding
the kind of location which they
can use practically. There are
prospects with veins heavy en-
ough to work profitably in seve-
raj locations in the northwest
section of the state, but they are
so far from railway facilities
that there would be no profit in
working them. The mines with
lighter veins of coal would not
be profitable to work, unless the
coal lies.near enough to the sur
face to make the vein what is
known as "steam shovel pro-
position one which would allow
the earth over the coal to be
stripped off, and the coal loaded
on cars with the same shovel
eqipment is used in the stripp-
ing operation. The legislature ap-
propriated S15O,OOO for this
work, and it is believed that a
location can be secured and OPEN
ed up for much less than this
sum.
While the thicker veins of coal
in North Dakota are being ope-
rated and shipments to the mar
ket are being made from many
mines in that section, the de-
mand for their coal growing
every year, there has been little
commercial development of the
coal beds of this state yet. There
are few local mines, but none
on which the coal can be loaded
into cars for shipment direct
from the mine. A few small
plants are operating but these
have to haul their coal to the
railway by team and load it on
the cars for shipment, and this
the operation of such
mines to expensive to allow
them to compete with the North
Dakota product for outside mar
kets. Most of the operators in
this state are merely attempting
to fill local supply of those who
come to the mines and haul away
the amount they want for do
mestic consumption.
The work Of prospecting is
continuing in the northwestern
section of the state wherever it
is. considered that anything
might be developed within dis
tance of a railway line to assure
transportation, and it is expect
ed that coal will be taken out
for shipment this fall, yet in
some of the places which make
the most promising showings up
to date, several being tentative
ly located and the matter Of de-
velopment is not being allowed
to drag,

EVEN THE REVENUE WILL. NOT
BE LOST.

One terror of national prohibition
to the finance experts Of the govern
ment has been the prospective loss
of half a billion dollars Of internal
revenue. But there is silver lining
to even this cloud. The internal
revenue bureau, after an intensive
study of the situation and the out
look, announces that the loss in
taxes on alcoholic beverages may be
made up ultimately from taxes on
alcohol used in the industrial arts.
The use of industrial alcohol in the
United States, with almost double
Germany's population, has not near
ly equaled it's use in Germany, but
hereafter, with the development of
our chemical industries, the demand
is bound to be greatly increased both
for home consumption and for ex-
port. In view of the legitimate in
dustrial uses to which distilleries
and breweries can be put, the official
opinion is that probably three
fourths of the present liquor and
beer investment will continue, and a
large amount of old revenue will be
made good from new and productive
sources. "-Springtield .(Mass.) Re-

COL. ROOSEVELT on MoNDELL.

Attention has been called to Col

Wyoming, whom republicans have
chosen for leader of the house in
the Sixty-sixth congress, as express
ed in his autobiography.

to nullify the decisions of the Secre-

Record Wheat Crop.

According to the forecast by the
department of agriculture, the ma
ton S wheat crop Will total S37 ,0OO,-
900 bushels, the largest crop ever
grown. This announcement has
caused speculation as to what this
enormous yield would cost the gov
ernment, owing to the fact that, UNI
der the bill passed Dy congress in
the closing days OF the last session,
the government is obliged to pay the
difference between the guaranteed
price of $2.26 bhshel and the
world market price for every bushel
of winter and spring wheat produc-
ed.
: The o total W valve .s Of the winter e
crop is estimated to reach $780,
100000. There is much specula-
ton as to how much Of this sum the
government would have to pay in
order to maintain the guaranteed
price.
The department. OF agriculture's
statement commenting upon the
condition OF winter wheat is as fol-
lows:
"Ninety-nine and eight-tenths per
cent is the highest percentage on
record, on the largest acreage ever
planted in this country. The con-
dition improved during the winter,
an unusual occurrence, due to the
very favorable winter weather, par
ticularly the absence OF alternate
freezing and thawing, which appears
also to have resulted in a minimum
of winter killing.
"A striking feature of the pres
ent situation is uniformly good
condition in practically all wheat
producing states, ranging from 1O4
in Ohio down to Sc in North Caro-
lint, among the states having ,O00,-
600 acres or more. The lowest
figure reported from any state is 80
in. Wisconsin. Kansas, with approx
imately 11,000,O0Va out of the Unit
ed States total of 100000 acres,
shows a condition Of 101. The pres
ent moisture conditions throughout
the entire country, with unimpOrt-
ant local exceptions, are very fav-
orable

THE condition of the crop is

THE ACID TEST OE SUCCESS.

A man may get rich, he may at,
| tain prominence in business or poll
tics but the real test of the fellow is
when he comes back where he used
to be so happy and SO poor,
The test OF mans reception by
Difference we give to success (as we
spell success) but whether old
friends who meet him are glad to
see him, whether they would greet
him with the same warmth ii he
hadn't struck it Big When all
has been said and done the real test
of men big and little is whether men
love them as we'll as respect them.
Those are the two acid tests: If a

ment and not lose the genuine and
wholesome liking of men for the
right kind Of men he passes 100 per
cent.
There's only one way to do it.
That is to be genuine. A man cant
do big thing today and nasty, lit
tie or crooked thing tomorrow and
get by with 100 per Gent, respect;
hold the true liking of men who
know him. No man ever held a
large place in the hearts of his fell
lows lacking modesty, simplicity, and
a real liking for other men.
A man may get rich, he may be-
come prominent in business and
finance or in politics but the final
test of his manhood and of the
genuineness of his success comes
when he goes back home among
those who have always known him.
If they continue to like him for him
self, if he has remained modest and
sincere and lovable and has been
liable to stand prosperity" then his
success is tWenty-four carat.
Men may be successful in big jobs
and in small ones. May be success

ones. The true test of success is

DEFICIT NOT LIKELY FROM
WHEAT GUARANTEE.

There is little likelihood that the
government will face deficit be-
cause of it's wheat guarantee, in the
opinion of Secretary of Commerce
Redfeld. Foreign crops were great
ly impaired by war conditions, the
European demand for American
wheat will far exceed normal, and
as a result the price will be main
tanned by the law of supply and de-
mand at not less than the 1925
price guaranteed by the government,
in Mr.. Redfeld's opinion.
There has been speculation as to
what it would cost the government
to make good its wheat guaranty .
said Mr.. Redfield. Opinions have
ranged from nothing to billion
dollars AS time goes on, however,
it becomes increasingly clear that
the food conditions in large parts
of the world are bad, worse than
thought The people of the Central
Powers probably will not raise halr
crop, and as they used to call up.
on US for large amounts of food in
normal times, it is certain these de-
mands will be increased. There
fore many well-informed men doubt
that the price of wheat will fall to
or below the government guaranty
