stock to sell from the jumpoff, but

of formation on lands near El Paso
with much stock already sold without
even one announcement. This week
has been a trifle quieter as to new
offerings, but still there were five
new promotions throwing open doors
to the investing public.
Buckburnctts wonder pool is the
magnet for heaps of money from all
classes of citizens, though Rangers
wells and projects were strong. One
local company sold GU its quota of
$4,000 on Ranger tract and is con-
tracing to drill. A Pecos corporation
will shut off stock sales this week and
offer only leases. The mails bring a

| Paris, March 22.-The committee
arrived at something like an impasse
on the vital question of how German
culprits are to be made amenable,
hdespite the terrible evidence against
them formulated by the subcommit-
Itee.
/ The position is, IL concrete case in
| international law can be established
! America is prepared to go the full
limit in exacting punishment, but the
committee so far has been quite un-
able to establish such case to be
submitted to the proposed interna-
tional tribunal. In these circum-
fstances America is willing to agree to
join the international tribunal work
ing with the important reservation
that any power should be entitled to
withdraw If satisfied with the case
as presented.
! 1t is realized that If the United
States should withdraw it would dis
credit the tribunal, so the verifying
committee is now endeavoring to meet
the American position.
The internationalizatio of the Kiel
canal also presents difficult prob
lem, for in international law water

leave the Kiel canal under the Ger
mans. 1t can only be put on the same
footing as the Suez IL it were pur-
chased by the international commit
tee, which is deemed impracticable.

NEW WHEAT DISEASES

Indications are that two dreaded
foreign foes of wheat, flag smut and
take-all, will not become widespread
in the United States. The United
States department Of agriculture an
nounces that the two otates where
these diseases appeared, Indiana and
Illinois, have taken steps that will pre-
vent the spread of the diseases. from
the infected fields and that should
wipe out in a few years the infection
in fields where it exists.
Indiana officials came to the recent
hearing in Washington with adequate
safeguards already placed. Shortly
after the hearing, Illinois established
similar safeguards. All the infected
wheat in both states is under control
and will be disinfected before any use
whatever is made of it. All straw and
stubble are to be burned, threshing
machines are to be thoroughly disin-
fected, and no wheat is to be grown
in infected areas for several years.

history of the state that such a thing
has been made possible.

Loans will be extended at low rate,

HOME BUILDING PLAN is
PRAISED BY WRITER
"An elaborate statement of home
building boom was printed in the
Fargo dailies several days ago. The
enthusiasm for homes is explained by
the provisions of the home building,
association measure. An individual is
placed in the position to buy his house
or farm if he has one-fifth of the cost
to pay in cash. The remainder is
loaned him by the state to be paid on
installments at rate cheaper than
rent would be.

WHEN TO CUT CORN FOR sILO

Corn makes the most and best 81
lage when the kernels are glazed, ac-
cording to trials made at the North
Dakota experiment station. Ex-
periments at the South Dakota ex-
pertinent station in the feeding of
silage to beef cattle, show that the
greatest gains were made when
kernels are glazed and dented.

unique provision made for returning
soldiers. The last legislature passed
a measure which will pay each soldier
from this state $25 for each month he
has been in the service, to be applied
on his education or buying a city home
or farm. Returned soldiers feel
grateful and proud that they are from
North Dakota. They do not harbor
any misgivings against Mr.. Townley.
"Such is the situation one finds to-
day upon a glimpse behind the cur
tain. The reform movement is sweep
ing from victory to victory. While
standpatters exclaim the thing can
not be done-in North Dakota it has
taken place. Such is the nature of
actual events in the land of the Non
partisan league. They reveal the
League as a movement of great good,
meriting the encouragement and sup
port of every right thinking citizen.
These factors beneath the surface ex-
plain why the verdict of guilty has
hardly won more than passing COM
ment from the North Dakota farm
ers. They also presage the near fu-
ture when business mems organiza
tions in neighboring states, which
make it business to fight the League,

how you please. Intellectually, eco
nomically, politically, morally it has
set tremendous forces at work. AS a
part of the nationwide attempt at re-
construction one may question whether
there is another organized body in
America meeting the foremost issues
of the moment so effectually and on
such a gigantic scale. It is the farm
ers' Interpretation of the new day;
their vehicle for carrying their ideas
into action"
The foregoing is the estimate of the
Nonpartisan league by Rev. Newton
Ben Knapp, former pastor Of the
First Unitarian church of Davenport,
Iowa, in a letter to the Davenport
Democrat-Leader. The letter is writ
ten from Fargo after a study of the
League program and it's accomplish
ments. Portions of it follow:
"The recent adverse decision at
Jackson, Mimi, in the trial of A. c.
Townley, president of the Nonparti-
san league, * tends strongly
to obscure the real status of the move
ment of which he is the leader. In
North Dakota one is abruptly led to
appreciate how little the trial this far
has counted against the leaders in
fuence and how manifestly it has
functioned in the interests of the
League.
"For nearly five years the public
has been kept aflame with vital dis
cussion of the deepest social impli-
cations. The political alignment of
today is sharply drawn between the
supporters and opponents of the
League. The opposition is unprecedent-
edly acrimonious, unscrupulous and
downright dishonest. Throughout the
war no stone was left unturned to en-
snare members of the League in a
faint whisper of disloyalty. Even to-
day the attack is eagerly pursued. Yet
the state of North Dakota, governed
by the Nonpartisan league, has rec
ord second to none in all the war un-
dertakings. No leader of rising
movement has ever been more un-
Justly, more relentlessly assailed than
has Mr.. Townley. It is marvellous how
firmly he stands through it all and
how staunchly true the North Dakota
farmer remains to the new faith.
FARMER is KEEN FOR
LOGIC AND FACTS
"There is something of the same in
tellectual atmosphere developing here
which one finds in the metropolitan
labor meetings. The time has appar-
emily passed when the farmer can be
won by an appeal to prejudice. He
has become keen for logic and facts.
"When the Minnesota crowd is do
ing its utmost to ruin Mr.. Townley's
influence; while the metropolitan Twin
Cities press is stretching its power to
discredit him before the public at
large, events of far-reaching magni-
tude are taking place behind the
scenes. The measures passed by the
farmers legislature last winter are
beginning to function. Men out on
the harvest fields who have little time
to follow the sensational side of af-
fairs are beginning to reap the bene-
fits of the legislation Mr.. Townley's s
hard-fought battle won for them. In
the end, the thousands of farmers of
the Northwest constitute the real
