Many View Possible Results Of Con.
flIct With Misoivinss Greatest
Upheavai Outside Of Russia,
Thought by Some.

London, Nov. 3.-Europe since Sat-
urduy has been tensely awaiting the
reaction from the American coal min
ers' strike.
That both the direct and indirect
efforts Of the strike would be only
secondary in Importance on this con-
tinent to that In the United States is
the general impression here, causing a
feeling Of depression that temporarily
overshadowed Europes own social and
economic ills.
Even greater than the realization of
the widespread commercial and indus
trial backfire is the gripping fear that
the clash between capital and labor
may provide the spark that will carry
to the highly inflammable European
social structure.
Governments, the press and the pub
lie are intensely interested in this test
of the American governments strength.
The majority foresee violent strug-
gle, with the result in doubt.
'"rhe strike is likely to develop into
the biggest Industrial upheaval ever
seen outside Russia" declares the
Globe. whatever the merits of the
dispute, 1t does not Justify such action.
Such movement will undoubtedly
have repercussions in other countries
and revive everywhere the spirit Of
labor unrest. No happening on such a
scale can be isolated"

A. C. WILL, ADVANCE
MONEY TO SOLDIERS

Arrangements have been made by
the North Dakota Agricultural college
for advancing tuition, table board,
books and laundry to young men who
have been in the army or navy. This
can be repaid from the $25 per month
which North Dakota will pay all who
were in the service. This money will
not be available before April, but by
the above arrangement those who de-
sire to attend the Agricultural college
can begin the use of this money at
once.
The Agricultural college has courses
for all. In agriculture courses rang
ing from the winter short courses with
no entrance requirement to the four
year courses requiring high school
graduation. In engineering similar
courses IRE offered. There are also
courses In veterinary, pharmacy, teach
ing, chemistry and commercial courses
including grain grading and the sci
ences. The Agricultural college has
been designated as the college to teach
vocational teachers for the state as
provided for in the Smith Hughes bill.
Everyone who is ambitious to i'm
prove his place in life can do so by
spending some time ut the North Da-
kota Agricultural college. The taking
Of a course here has given many a new
outlook in life as well as better po-
sition.

now FARMERS CAN GET :
KUBANkA SEED WHEAT

Many farmers want to grow Ku-
banka wheat. There is a considerable
quantity Of it in northeastern North
Dakota. It 10 Of good quality, too.
The extension division Of the North
Dakota Agricultural college have
placed a man In the field to look up
this wheat. The farmer who wishes
to secure Kubanka wheat for seed
should notify his county agent, who
will forward the order. When enough
orders are received to make car
load, they will be sent in. In this
way there will be saving in freight
as well as a saving in looking up the
wheat.
Kubanka is a durum wheat that has
for number of years outyielded all
other wheats Of good milling quality
at the central experiment station and
at the five substatiOns.

made at the White House that Presi-

acted on the peace treaty. That is ex-

The White House announcement
clears up any doubt as to whether tho
war would be ended legally with the
ratification of the German treaty.
Some officials had expressed the opin-
ion that the war emergency would not
pass until the treaty with Austria had
been acted upon by the senate.

PACIFIC FARMERS
FOR PLUMB Plan
Washington AgrlcuIturists In
Biz Movement for Public
Ownership.

Farmers Of Washington favor the
Plumb plan Of settling the railroad
question, according to John Storland,
Of Kenewick, WASH, farmer who is
visiting in Bismarck on his way east.
'"The farmers Of Washington, in al
lance with the railway brotherhoods
and the American Federation Of Labor,
believe that the principles advanced by
Glenn Il. Plumb as the way to take
over the railways are sound, and pre-
sent the most logical solution Of the
problem yet advanced in America, y
Mr.. Storland declared.
"Out our way we cannot see sound
business judgment in turning bank
rupt system back to private ownership
with the responsibility inevitably
thrust upon the nation anyway. Nor
can we see where 1t is good policy to
pay the present owners of the lines
some twenty billions in valuation
which they claim when it must be APP
parent to anyone that that sum repre-
sents billions Of mere water.

NIT financial pirates to continue to
exploit the railways, particularly as
the principles embodied in the Plumb
plan appear to be the way to eliminate
most. Of the evils with which Wall
street interests have surrounded the
lines"
Mr.. storland declared that the
triple alliance chad excellent chances
Of victory in Washington next year.
And one Of the greatest assets Of the
progressive movement in that state, he
declared, is the women's vote"
"The women of Washington are
more progressive than the men," he
asserted.
Mr.. Storland related that the farm
ers and workers are establishing a
daily newspaper in Spokane, which
they expect to see in operation by the
first Of the year.

Trust methods Of bookkeeping de-
liberately calculated to deceive the
public are exposed by Milton Rronner,
N. q. A. star correspondent, In q
recent article. The packers. according
to Bronnsr., are engaged in huge ad-
vertising scheme to defeat the Kenyon
government regulation bill. They are
trying to do this BY showing how small
their profits are on meat. e
They discretely keep silence about
what they make out Of hides, oleo oil,
olemarsarine and tallow, which are
among the principal packing house by
products.
Every person who buys shoes, or
anything else made out Of leather;
every person who buys soap or
candles, pays tribute to the big pack
ers. Oleo oil Is largely used in making
oleomargarine, soap and leather. Oleo-
margarine Ia, of course, a substitute
for butter, made out Of oleo oil, neu-
trail lard and some vegetable oils.
Tallow IL used in making candles and
soap.
The department Of labor has been
making study Of comparative prices
at Chicago over period Of years,
which shows indirectly what profits
the packers have been taking.
The average price paid at Chicago In
1913 for good choice steers was e41Aa
cents per pound. This rose % high as
1a6 cents In March. 1919, and sank 70

ing in the State Of North Dakota in
cooperation with the department Of
botany and plant pathology and maxi
ing as extensive survey as possible
to ascertain whether there remain any
barberry bushes which could have
aided in spreading rust the present
year. There are four or five of these
Investigators and almost every week
one or other Of these men have been
able to locate large number Of
bushes.
Professor Bolley Of the North Da-
kota Agricultural college reports that
these bushes have shown they were
badly attacked early in the season Of
this year with black stem rust. r. @.
Rose, who has been in charge of this
work, declares that he believes that
most of the towns and postoffices in
the state have been closely surveyed
and most Of the bushes have been
properly dug, but in some cases have
been only cut of SO that the young
plants with their succulent sprouts
have produced more spores than IL the
bushes had not been cut. The field
inspectors have called attention to the
fact that the bushes have been planted
quite commonly on the farms and that
they will often find large hedges or
scattering bushes on farm lands which
the owners did not know existed.
Any person interested in Identifying
any bush they think might be bar
berry, should send specimens Of the
bush to the department Of botany and
plant pathology, North Dakota Agri-
cultural college, and state the location
and exact address, and the matter will
be looked into. Address State Leader,
