A Search For Oil and Gas In North
 Dakota.

Natural gas is now produced in North Dakota, but oil has not yet been found there in commercial quau- titles. Whether the failure to find oil is due to the barrenness of the beds tested by the drill or to the unfayor- able situation of the few wells that have bean drilled is not known.
 Domes and arches in the beds age fay
 orable locations for oil and gas wells and contain most of the oil pools in the United States. However in North Dakota the beds lie so nearly fiat that such domes and arches for anti c1inesO can ordinarily be detected only by a detailed geologic survey. Nevertheless the reported occurrence of small flow of gas from an ar
 of a small flow of gas from an ar tesian well drilled about 1-2 miles west of the crest of an anticline near Nesson, in the northwes tcorner of North DaDkota, about 30 miles east of Williston. is of interest and possibly of significance to well driliers as well as to the residents of that region. This anticline is a very broad, flat arch in which the dip of the strata on either side is less than 1 degree. All the rock beds exposed below the glacial drift and alluvium belong to Tertiary formations that are not

LABOR AND WHEAT,

According to government reports there are still many without employ nient in the country. The number of soldiers returning from Europe is increasing steadily and they will con- tinue to reach these shores by many thousands daily. so that the amount of labor is bound to be increased by that amount. Such additions will con tinue until the end of summer and it is going to be necessary to do every thing possible to see that unemploy ment is kept at the minimum. The readjustments thus cannot be brought about any too soon.
 Just at this time we have received Information from the department oi agriculture to the effect that while the prospective winter wheat yield a month ago was S37, 1000 bushels the weather conditions have been such that the estimate today is that there uill be ss9ooo.ooo bushels. A gain oi

sHIPRuILpiNe ACTIVITY.

American shipyards have had little or no reason to worry over the pros poets of plenty of business even un- der the readjustments accompanying the cancellation of government orders. The demand for ships that has pre- vailed for long time was bound to prevent id1eness for the yards where work on wooden ships was stopped, because such vessels were not meet ing expectations, had even considered the possibility of being obliged to burn the partly built vessels in order to make room for the handling of other business.
 In this connection, however, added evidence. of shipbuilding business for long time to come is given by the decision that has been, cabled to this country by President Wilson whereby shipyards will be permitted to accept foreign orders for ship construction. For some time efforts have been made by other countries to place contracts in this country. There has been de- sire to replace their depleted tonnage and take advantage of the facilities offered in this country to get such ships quick Heretofore such work has not been permitted that the ner- chant marine of this country might not be affected, but apparently the time has passed when such a safe guard needs to be employed. l Thus it is shown that the shipbuild- 1 ing activities are not going to suffer
 through any possible letting up ir American orders. We must take care
 of our own needs but when it is pos
 sible to do that and reach ou
 and get foreign business at the
 same time there is no reason why
 it should not be done. It is q decision
 which will be welcomed by the ship builders of the country.

WHERE THE SHOE PlNcHEs.

It is interesting to hear those rep resenting the German government and others in that country tell about the dreadful and murderous peace terms which have been presented to them by the allied nations. It is characteristic or the Germans to refer to the treaty as reducing them to slavery and wip- ing out the nation. but they do not stop to consider what misery has been caused the world by their action or what the plans of Germany were in case 1t had been victorious
 But it cannot be overlooked that Bernstorff in 1914 declared, in re- sponse to a question as to what Ger many would exact from France in case it won, that it would take all the col onies, Morocco entire. Algeria and Tu- his, it would insist upon all of France from St. Valery in straight line to Lyons Cor more than quarter of France with over 15,000,000 inhabi- tants), it would call for an indemnity of ten billions. it would require a commercial treaty permitting German goods to enter France duty free for 25 yehrs without reciprocity, it would demand the demolition of all the French fortresses. it would require a gift of three billion rifles. three thou sand cannon and 10000 horses, ii would insist upon patent rights for German patents without reciprocity for 25 years. it would make France abandon its alliance with England and Russia and it would force 25 year treaty of alliance with Germany.

uer so o0o ooo bushels in a month i

over 6o,000.000 bushels in a month is worth talking about, but it is real ized of course that the weather still has an important part to play. It can destroy wheat as quickly as it can im- prove the outlook. if not quicker, all though for the sake of all concerned and the demands that are. still being made upon this country it is to be hoped that there will be no adverse conditions.
 The harvesting of this wheat has not begun as yet of course. but with such bumper crop it is quite evident that there is going to be a demand for labor in the wheat raising sections. That there will be good pay and plen- ty of work for the unemployed seems probable To those who arc familiar with it it should be eagerly sought, but it is question whether those sec 1 tions of the country that are reporting the most unemployed could get those men to go to the wheat fields. It is
 the matter of the distribution of la
 Dor which always bothers during the 1 harvesting sea son.

STORIES OF THE WAR
Uniting German Marine Units

Correspondence of the Associated
 Press .)-In the opinion of American
 army officers who follow day by day
 readjustment of enemy forces it ap-
 pears likely that General von Lettow-
 Forbeck, the German commander who
 returned to Germany in March from
 Africa, is rapidly uniting under his
 command all the loyal marine units.
 Writing in the summary of intelli-
 gence of the Third United States
 army of recent date one of the Amer ican experts who speciahzes upon the movements of all German armed forces, says: Such division Una rines) may be expected to be one of the most powerful instruments of the present government-and might even be d reactionary power.''

During the past fews weeks the l status of the marine units has been ; clearing up and from information by i the Third Army officers it is now pos i sible to give a general idea of the marine units. In an article in the
 summary of intelligence issued daily by the Third Army one of the I American officers says:

NO ROOM FOR THEM HERE.

Down in Argentina there is appar ently very little sympathy with those who are preaching dangerous doc trines and working against the na- tion's peace and welfare, and this is particularly true of those who are in clined to anarchy. Recently several hundred such agitators have been de- ported by that country and there is a greater number with whom similar action will be taken. Argentina does not intent to tolerate them there eith- CT as troublemakers or martyrs, It believes in sending them back where they came from and in acting in ac- cordance with it's belief.
 That this is the best method of dealing with such people is shown by the fact that a quartette, of anarchists recently discharged from a Wisconsin prison have gone right back to their old practices, while one of their in- clination upon being arraigned in a Chicago court on charge of having melted to riot begged that. he be shot rather than be sent back to Russia. Ii may be that he was not sincere 1T

FAiRFIELD'S LAW ENFORCEMENT

Attention is being called to the fact that those who drive automobiles in or through the town of Fairfield are be- ing given to understand that they must observe the law. The only sur prising thing about that is that it is in contrast with the respect for the law as insisted upon in other towns so that after doing pretty much as they please in other localities automobilists are inclined to feel that they are be- ing unjustly treated when they strike Fairfield and get into court.
 It is quite natural under such con- ditions that the claim should be put forth that Fairfield is trying to fatten automobilists, when as a matter of fact it is the automobilists who in sist upon violating the law and then srowl because they are arrested for 1t and made to pay. Fairfield is sim ply doing what every other town should do. It is endeavoring to make the highways as safe as they will be if the laws are properly observed and enforced. It has had some bad acci- dents which warrant 1t in taking the
 
 stand which it has. It is the attitude that every town should take and it ia perfectly evident that If there waa more such enforcement there would be better observance of the statutes and traffic regulations throughout the entire state and 1t is believed less fla talities and injuries in which motor vehicles are involved, whether they are always at fault or not.
 Those who break other laws expect that they will be called to account for it and there is no reason why il should be any different with automo- bile drivers. Some drivers never in- tend to pay any attention to the mo- tor vehicle laws unless they are forced 10 by just such action as Fairfield is taking.
