LAND BOARD MAKES LOANS

LAND BOARD MAKES LOANS Y
The Board of University and School
Lands voted to take "a farm loans at
it's meeting May 9th. They were scat
tered through 10 counties and total
$45, 700, ranging from $500 to $3,7O0
each. They were given to the farm
ers at per cent. ~
The board has also bought the bonds
of two school districts to aid in erect
ing new buildings. One Of there was
at Sandy Greek, Williams county, and
was for $2,400. The other was fol
$4,000 and went to Willow Vale, Bot
tineau County,.
The Board of University and School
lands has sent a check for $4,000
as first payment on it's purchase Of
100000 worth of Victory bonds.
Last week Commissioner w. j. Pra-
ter sent "a check to the treasurer Of
Bottineau county for feed and seed
bonds to be issued to the farmers
These bonds were sold by Commis.
sioner of Agriculture Hagen to the
board. They draw per cent and the
county ought to be able to let the
farmers borrow at low rate.

PLAN BRIDGE OVER BIG MUDDY

PLAN BRIDGE OVER BIG MUDDY
The state highway commission is
interested in the proposal to put a
wagon bridge across the Missouri riv-
er between Bismarck and Mandan. #
this 100000 Improvement is pushed
to completion by the Burleigh coun-
ty and Morton county commissioners,
it will be only bridge across the Mis-
souri, above Council Bluffs, Iowa. The
only way to cross into the slope coun-
try now is by ferry. The bridge would
be link in the Red trail, or National
Parks highway, and would attract
much tourist traffic. The city Of Bis
marck has voted $500 for prelim-
mary survey. The Burleigh county
board appropriated 100000 for con-
struction and the Morton county board
has appropriated $92, 500 as it's share.
It is probable that Slope counties will
cede some Of their share Of the feder-
road fund to aid in the erection Of the
new traffic artery.

t freby oversubscribed in each Of the
I've drives. It is record in which the
three thousand Liberty Loan Subscrib-
.ers of this county have reason to take
.personal pride in what they have ac-
cpmplished by their combined efforts.
All they needed to know here in Bot
tineau County was what the Govern
ment wanted done.
We have not raised an immense
1hount Of dollars in comparison with
me Of the eastern counties but the
government crop reports say that we
have an upexcelled. record in that re-
snect. No county, however, has met
every callsof the Nation on a better
DGt basis than Bottineau County. No
expense account has been filed as far
81 this committee is concerned. This
Committee has not had an outside
speaker or solicitor nor have we had
4 brass band, tank, flying circus, war
movie, relic train, or an airship during
Mese drives. The people Of this county
were able to do what their government
required of them without any outside
Help whatsoever.
Personally, I wish to congratulate
|te good people of the county on the
record they have made, not alone those
fortunate enough to be numbered
among the subscribers but hundreds
of others in less favorable circum-
stances who were on the "side lines''

Mandan, N. D.-"The manufacture
ers of Wisconsin are exploiting school

DR.. C. D. Cary, state superintendent
of education in Wisconsin, at meet
ing Of the Missouri Slope IN. d.

"I don't mince words when talk
about these things, DR.. Cary continued
"The manner in which the manufac-
turing interests have got control Of the
vocational and continuation schools Of
this country is most undemocratic anc
un-American. It is the same old sys,
tenn of Prussian efficiency all ove1
again. The attempt to divide the chill,
dren into two classes, one of laborers
and one of 'highbrows,' is successfully
being carried out. .n
-Four years ago the manufacturers
Of the state of Wisconsin stole contro.
Of the vocational and continuation

spreading propaganda among the
school boys of the laboring classes ir
the common schools and enticing then
to leave school at the legal age o1

school, where they are trained to ru1
machines so that the manufacturer
can get steady supply Of common

According to DR.. Cary, the manu-.

CONGRESS T0BE
REACTI0NARY
MANN AND CANNON WILL CON.
TROL HOUSE-sENATE HAS
MANY PROGRESSIVES. :.

Washington. - President Wilson's
call for a special session of congress
to meet on Monday, May 10, settles
the speculation as to when he would
issue the summons. With regard to
what the new congress will do, how
ever, there is practically no specula-
tion at all. Special interest politics
are written all over it, and the little
group of progressives there, Including
the Nonpartisan League representa-
tives, will be able to do little more
than delay vicious legislation and to
make record for clean congressional
activity.
Senate More Progressive
In the senate, on the other hand,
there is large proportion Of progress
sively minded men, who with the
Democrats, opposed to the Republicans
for party reasons at least, may be
able to seriously curtail the power of
the reactionary Republican group led
by Penrose, Lodge and Nelson.
The reason, for the changed situa-
tion as between the senate and the
house, which is supposed to be much
nearer the people is probably found in
the fact that most of the progressive
senators were elected before war was
declared, whereas the members Of the
house were elected last fall following
a misleading campaign in which the
special interests were able to substi-
tute '1oyalty," 400 per cent Ameri-
canism" and flag-waiving for real is
sues. The candidates who stood for
real issues that would give the people
solutions Of reconstruction problems,
were in general unable to meet a
'loyalty" issue backed by unlimited
funds and in many cases mob violence.
North Dakota alone Of all the states
has sent a thoroughly progressive
delegation to the house.
Prominent among the measures
which the people may expect the new
congress to advance is tinkering with
the federal reserve act and the farm
loan bank to make them more subser-
Went to Wall street; a bill to let the
packing trust off with "just as good
legislation" which will increase rather
than diminish it's power; the cutting
down Of income and excess profits
taxes, and the return Of the railroads
and the ships to private management.
There will undoubtedly be strenuous
attempt to put over compulsory mill
tary training and other elements OF
q world-beating military establish
ment. i.
| The trick used to get at the farm
loan bank viii probably be that for
which there has been 50 much propa-
ganda in the kept press recently the
withdrawal Of the tax exemption on
farm loan bonds. This would rise
the rate Of interest for the farmer
borrowers and might raise the inter-
est return necessary to sell farm loan
bonds to over 6 per cent. Il this case
the bank would have To suspend, be-
cause the law limits the Iatesto Be o.
fered TO 6 per cent.

The WEEK
Barnes Mind Has Dark Side.
Civil or Military Authority
Farmers Solve Kept Press Evil
Private Spying Runs Wild

what interest have the producers
of wheat in my work since they will
get the $2.26 price guaranteed to them
by law?" asks Julius Barnes, head Of
the government grain corporation in
letter to the National Grange. Who
else has so good right to be inter-
ested?
What does this dark side of Mr..
Barnes vision mean except that the
grain corporation is going to keep
wheat down to the minimum price
even if the market here and abroad
calls for much higher price? The
minimum price guaranteed by con-
gress is by law intended to be merely
a price below which wheat shall not
go. It is protection to very spec
ulative farm activity in the interest
of the nations food supply and not an
adequate return to the farmer.
If the fixed price was low in Sep
tember, 1917, what can we say Of it
for 1918 and now for 1919 if the gov
ernment makes it's minimum also the
maximum? All prices Of things the
farmer must buy have gone up in
these two years. Even if fair in 1917
it is unfair now.
Not only the wheat farmers but the
towns in which they trade are greatly
interested in seeing that the farmers
get the market price and not mini
/ mum price below the market.

Every real American must be panied
to read Of clashes between men of the
army and navy and the New York po-
lice. And he has cause for alarm,
too, when he considers the reasons for
it. The policemen were defending en-
tirely lawful and orderly meetings of
working people against mob attacks.
Why were the sons of other working
men and of farmers in these disor-
derly mobs which would take from
citizens their constitutional rights ?-.-.
Because the Wall street highbinders
have been working on these too trust
ing young men with stories about
Bolsheviki, seditionists, foes Of the
flag and other names by which labor
ing men are now dubbed by the reac-
tionary press. Add to this lying pro-
paganda which might lead these men
to believe that America was being at
tackled by very bad people, the nat
ural tendency Of young men away
from home to like mix-up and we
have the explanation of the New York
riots.
But more than the Wall Street in
terests are responsible. These mobs
could hardly have been formed with
out the sympathy and the encourage
ment of the higher officers whose duty
it is to see~ that the military forces
keep to their proper place in orderly
society.

The farmers of the Northwest, by
the way, are solving this kept press
problem for the first time in history
by directly owning their local paper
or by supporting really independent
editors. These, with the two flour

90 and Grand Forks, make thousands
of farmers and working people entire

cutting off of the kept press subscrap-

In order to be certain that the

LOOK AT THE LABEL
ON CALCIUM ARSENATE.

When a farmer goes to buy cal
cium arsenate for boil weevil poison
ing he should look carefully at the
label. 1t should be printed on the
label that the material is satisfactory
for cotton dusting and that the manu-
facturer specifies straight use of the
material without the addition of lime
or any other carrier. This is the ur-
gent advice of the boil weevil spe-
cialists of the United States DEPART
ment of Agriculture. If it is neglect
ed the farmer may get material that
either will not control the weevil or
that will kill his cotton.
Poisoning will control the weevil.
but the whole scheme is seriously i'm
periled by careless buying of poison.
Much of the supply offered last wear
was worthless or worse than worth
less. Many farmers are beginning
the manufacture of calcium arsenate.
and there is danger that there will be
even a larger percentage of unsatis-
factory material than last year un-
less care is exercised in purchasing.
AS many farmers are already making
their purchases or will shortly do so,
now is the time to exercise such care.
The farmer should not buy calcium
arsenate because it is labeled or sold
as such, but should buy cal
cium arsenate by specifications. 1t
should contain not more than three
fourth of one per cent of water solu-
BILE arsenic pentoxide, on account of
danger of burning plants. It should
contain not less than 40 per cent to-
tai arsenic. If it contains much less
it will not control the weevil. It's
density should be between 80 and
