Why Are Cattle chsap7


Less than ayear ago Hoover was
telling us5abont the great shortage
of cattle in Europe. Six months
ago the department Of agriculture
was sending out stories about the
opportunities awaiting cattle raisers
in the European trade. Farmers
bit on the dope and have gotten
stuns. Now comes Acting Score
tary Ousley 81 the. department with
8 story that Europe does not need
beef from the United States 90
much as it needs our pork. The
stocks Of cattle in most Of Europe
have not suffered seriously in num-
bars during the war Indeed, ,sout-
side the areas actually oyerrup by
the contending armies, cattle stocks
have fairly held their own and in
some cases even increased.
The bewildered farmer might,
well ask which one Of these lies is
the truth. Two facts at least stand
ont clearly. One is that the Amer
ican farmer cannot proftably mar
ket his cattle through the packing
trust. The other is that he can put
no dependence on statements Of
government officials: playing the
packers game in rigging the mar-
keta In the last two years the
farmer who did just the opposite of
what. the department Of agriculture
advised with regard TO markets has
come out ahead. N,
THERE'S no mystery in the fall
ure Of our city people to buy beef
as they used to. They haven't rot
the money TO pay the packer prices,
and the few profteers cannot eat
much more than they used to. Il

were to start at the southern part

such time as Major Mel cLaughlin and

Banker r. .. jacobson and Audi
tor g; A. Olson made an extensive
auto trip the first Of the week and
report that the best crops they saw
during the drive were several miles
aouth Of Fort Yates, near the state
line. Other places in the county
have some crops, some rye and flax
looking fairly good near selfridge.
The territory around McIntosh is
said toS be almost entirely burned

Locally, there is . fair stand zof
rye and q shower OF rain or two
may fill some wheat and barley.
Oats is very poor and even millet
Is drying up. Hokanson and Tur-

and had worn away the insulation
from the wire. Here the whole metal
roof was apparently smoking, but in
reality 1t was giving Off steam pro-
fusely, the roof being wet with rain
and hot from the electric charge that
1t was carrying. This circumstance
accounts for the reports that came
to the Court House, when the acct

GERMANY AND THE TREATY.

rboro is an old saw which says those who dance must pay the fiddler. Germany would shirk that re sponsbility. The Germans danced, and they cohec' cd the fees for the fiddler in advance rom fiahoe and Belgium without much as saying "by your leave" Now when Germany is asked to pay pack to those whom she robbed restore what she destroyed and set her in order there will be no more war dancing and more hddlers to pay she maheS wry faces . m
 Rut Germany will sign the peace treaty. She will he made to understand that she cannot carry on as she did for four years, and she would still be car rying on had mot been that she was whlppea OH the field of battle, and escape unscathed Whlle hei yictors walow{ in the wreck and ruin she created She will be taught the meaning of the law or com nensation She must pay for the devastation wrought through her attempt to destroy the world She can not be loser of the and victor in results
 Germany made no pretense of consulting the wishes of the people of Belgium and France when her vic torious armies in, those countries She packed off all the loot she could carry, she used the people to satisfy greed and lusts and she destroyed all that was not useful to her. Without regard to law of God or man she proceeded on her devilish intent to make Germany great and to destroy others.
 Instead of protesting at the severity of the peace terms Germany's delegates should be thanking the victorious Allies that Germany has not been destroyed as she destroyed. They should be thanking merciful foes that victorious armies have not burned and leveled paths through Germany, that German cities have footed and burned factories dsmantled all things of value carted off, that her women have been safe, and her population undsturbed They should be grateful that those whom they had outraged far worse than barbarians ever treated Mediterranean civilization red savages of plain and forest the frontiersmen country, have let them keep the lands and resources and implements that make it possible them repair far labor and material things can damage they have done while they may continue to manage their government and insti- tutions
 But whatever Germans may think, or how loudly they protest sthey will pay the fine imposed upon them, or they will be dancing again, and the dance will be to different music, and the hddlers more costly She will pay she will be governed by an army occupation with headquarters at Berlin, and the army will collect the tolls for the musicians; Germans will be set at work restoring France and Belgium and the purse strings and law-givng will be in foreign hands.
