AS a contemporary SAYS the late

he had "a task which was impossible

Empire and the German system
had proved failure and was past

But. in all probability, he had little

SLOPE SEEKING
TODAY TO SOLVE
FEEDPR0BLEMS
General Conference of County
Agents, Bankers, Farmers
And Merchants in Progress

Dickinson, N. D., July 14.-County
agents, bankers, farmers, merchants
and other representatives of Slope
counties are meeting here today to con-
slider some action to relieve" the feed
shortage in this section Of the state.
An extreme drouth is general over the
entire slope, and there will be far from
enough hay and straw to carry the live
stock through next winter.
At tOday's session delegates will be
named to visit other sections, to as
certain where feed is abundant and at
what price it can be obtained. Com
missioner Carl Hamann urged that the
Slope petition the state to divert the
100000 migration fund appropriated
by the last assembly to the purchase
of feed and seed for stricken districts.
"Our crying need is not more men
and workers, now," said Commissioner
Hamann. "We have plenty Of farmers
and plenty of farm help. What is
needed is relief for those who are now
here and who are threatened with the
loss of everything they have"
Harvest hands are returning from
Montana by the hundreds.
"There'S nothing doing IN montana,
is the report.
wen have 10000 farmers and farm
hands drifting into North Dakota look
inc for work within another two
weeks" said former North Dakotan
who returned day or two ago from
Montana, where he and his father op-
crate thousand-acre ranch.
"There was nothing there for both
of u.s. he explained, commenting on his
return. Zone man can handle all the
work there is to be done on the old
ranch this year. I'm beating it back
home to try to find something with
which to grub-stake the old man for
the winter"
The eastern half of the state, from
the Missouri river to the Red, can use
an army Of harvest hands. West OF
the Missouri, however, there are more
than enough men to havest the vestige
of crop which the hoppers and drouth
have left.

BRINT0N PAPER
BEGINS ATTACK
ON HAIL BOARD
Commissioner S. A. Olsness Re.
ceives Reward for Independ-
ence of Action

Beach, N. D., July 14.-The local
Brintonized league organ carries in
it's weekly issue a two-column attack
upon the state hail department, sing
ling out particularly Commissioner S.
A. Olsness and District Inspector J.
NJ. Halstrom of Mandan. Under tine
caption, Funny Work in Hail Of
flee to Discredit Act" the Progress
complains that ten days have elapsed
since the heavy hail storm which
swept over Golden Valley county and
that no adjustments have been made.
While Commissioner Olsness has
been loyal to Townley, his independ-
ence in giving to some non-league
newspapers of general circulation in
surance statements claimed by Brin-
ton and other league newspapers as
their rightful exclusive property has
won for him the enmity of Brinton
and similar leaguers. Olsness was
quoted last winter as being opposed
to the Brinton bill which gives to the
league press in which Brinton has
been largely interested a monopoly
of all public and private legal print
ing. The Beach Progress broadside
is regarded as the opening gun in a
campaign which Brinton and asso-
ciate editors will wage against Ols'
ness.
The insurance commissioner has
given very general satisfaction. He
has for many years been actively en-
gagged in farming at Sheyenne; he is
a pioneer member of the league, and
he brought to the office to which he
was first elected three years ago a
general knowledge of the insurance
business gained from having served
for years as secretary of a success

pany.

Washington, D. c., July 14.-Hail-
ing the league of nations covenants
as "one of the worlds greatest doc
um. (lts," SeiAltOr Swanson Of Mr-
ginia, democratic member of the
foreign relations committee, told the
senate today that if the United States
rejected the, league lit would mean
that she would sulk in the greatest
worlds crisis that ever occurred"
The speaker defended the league
saying that it would not sacrifice the
sovereignty of American citizenship
and considered that on the contrary it
would result in immense material gain
in the protection of American integ.
rity and preventing war. He declared
it would not create a super govern
ment nor involve objections to the
Monroe doctrine.
Pathway Of Duty Plain.
THE pathway of our duty is plain, y
said Senator Swanson.
Let us not be frightened by our
own prodigiOus shadow as it projects
itself into the world affairs. Let Us
not be deferred from our manifest
duty and destiny by craven lear OF
becoming great in giving service and
directions to world in a d:rest hour
Of its need and distress"
Pointing out that the war had
shaken the social order to it's found.
alton, the Virginia Senator said the
paramount obligation of responsible
statesmen was to prevent another
such conflagration, which would re,
turn the world to the rule "of brute
force and barbarous stages of civiliz-
ation.'
,"The plan for the formation of the
league is skillfully conceived and the
only one possible under existing po-
litical cOnditions"
