due to the fact that the great ma

Bill McAdoo, former secretary of the
treasury, has invested in Texas oil
lands. Well, Bill is making enough
money out of his moving picture ven
ture to be able to put few hundred
thousand dollars into speculation of
this sort. The money he receives for
his administration propaganda films
should be sufficient in itself to enable
him to make an investment in oil
property. But it is not our purpose to
upbraid Mr.. McAdoo. So far as the
film propaganda dissemination is con-
cerned he has had it thrust upon him
and you cannot blame him for charg-
ing a goodly sum therefor.

Washington has started another
campaign to reduce the high cost of
living. The trouble is that these
campaigns, instituted by admins
tration officials. cost the taxpayers
more than were the exorbitant prices
of foodstuffs to continue, and this fol
the reason that such movements to
cut down prices avail nothing at
least they have not up to the present
time. How can anything in this line
be accomplished when millions of tons
Of our foodstuffs are being shipped
to Europe? Verify we have an adj
ministration which keeps the big end
of the telescope glued to it's eye.

President Wilson'S bullheadedncss
is clearly exemplifed in the fact that
he emphatically refused to take cog
nizance Of the appeal of Herbert
Hoover to place an embargo on the
expectation of sugar. Were an en-

no shortage Of sugar, but as it is large
consignments are being shipped to all
parts of the globe. How different it
would be we're the late Theodore
Roosevelt president of the United

At last the supreme council Of the
peace conference sitting in Paris has
named commission for comparing
lists of guilty persons whom Germany
will be asked to give up, as prepared
by the allies. To compare these lists
will, if the slowness Of the council is
any criterion, consume long period
of time, and there is possibility that
many of those selected for trial will
have died Of old age before the de.
mand for their delivery is made. Then
again. the chances are that none O
them will ever be brought to justice.

A peculiar outcome of the election in
Toledo, Ohio, last week is that the
citizens voted by a narrow majority
to do without streetcar service rather
than pay a small increase in fare.
So, as a consequence, thousands of
people will now have to walk as the
autobus service is inadequate to cope
with the situation. This is the first
time an American city has resorted
to SO drastic an action, and it looks
like case of cutting off the nose to
spite the face.

In the Fiji islands a suit of clothes
may be purchased for a button from

taken into consideration that in that

consists merely Of rubber band and

suits could be purchased for two conch

A movement having been started to
elect Lieut.. Col. Theodore Roosevelt
chief of the American legion, he has
emphatically announced that, for the
reason that he is active in politics,
he will not permit consideration of his
name for the office. AS the legion
is not a political organization, the
colonel is entitled to credit for nipping
the movement to elect him in the bud.

Mrs. May Elliott Hobbs, an English

take care of a cow as well as a

their wives boss the job" There can
be no successful refutation of this
statement, but at the same time it
savors of slam at father.

It has been asked whether the ratifi-
cation Of the peace treaty would stop
the dozen or more wars which are
progressing in Europe No, it would
not. Those countries which are en-

paper. Treaty or no treaty there will
continue to be wars as long as this old
world exists.

CELEBRATION
OF LOCAL ELKS
BIG SUCCESS
Eighty-fve Candidates -lnitat-
ed At Lodge Session Held
Last Night Banquet and
Social Session Added ToPlea-
sure of Occasion.

Members of the local Elks lodge are
receiving many compliments today on
the success of their big day yes
terday. The secretary reports that
IS candidates were initiated last ey-
neing and that rs others we're taken
in the two previous regular meetings,
this because it was anticipated that
such a large number wccld be in at
tendance that it would be impossible
to handle them all at one time. In
addition to this there are a large num-
Der of applicants who have yet to
be initiated, they being detained YES
terday by the press Of business.
The banquet last evening was a
gerat success. Between six and seven
hundred members of the antlcred herd
done justice to the dinner that the
chefs had prepared. Immediately fol-
lowing this the lodge went in ses-
sion. Following the initiation, a So
cial hour was enjoyed in which many
of the visiting brothers from the iod-
ges in this state and Minnesota, spoke
highly of the enterprise Of the
local lodge and the success which
had rewarded their efforts. The local
Elks band came in for it's share of
the praise, and it was greatly des-
erved, as that organization furnish
ed some exceptionally high class mu-
sic during the afternoon and evening.
At the conclusion of the meeting it
wa learned that the total membrepihs
was learned that the total member
ship roll Of the local lodge contains
the names of 661 members. There
will be a considerable addition to this
when the initiation of accepted an
didates is completed.

GREAT Demand
FOR HIGH GRADE
MACHINERY
High Prices of Farm Products
Has Caused Farmer Consid-
er Importance of Up-to-date
Equipment SAYS HALEY

"Never in all my experience in the
implement business, has the demand
for high grade farm machinery been
so heavy as this spring." was the
announcement made by C. D. Haley
this morning. It has taken a lot of
hard work by the employees of this
institution to keep the machinery on
the floor, Sc rapidly has it been sold"
High prices of farm products has
caused the farmer to give extra thot
to the matter of increased produc-
ton, and with the value of up-to-date
machinery as a means Of attaining
this end being one Of the means
strongly advocated by the agricul-
tural experts, it is to be expected
that the demand would be strong.
c. D. Haley through years of x
perience in the implement business,
has been able Ito sift the wheat from
the chaff" and at all times keep
on his floors the lines of machinery
that has proven to be the kind that
the North Dakota farmer finds to
give the best satisfaction under the
average condition. If it is found that
some particular implement is not CIV
ing the service it should, it is prompt
ly dropped from the list. MI. Haley
says, IF I cannot truthfully tell my
patrons that the implement under
consideration will do everything that
is claimed for it and that in my judg-
ment it is the best for his use, then
I don't want to handle it."
The demand for tanning Mills and
drills has been particularly heavy
this spring, plows and harrows are
moving rapidly, and the "Studebak-
er autos have almost sold themsel-
ves". Mr.. Haley stated that he had
but n Studebaker on the floor, but
more are expected every day.
1t is a pleasure to visit their bus
mess office for you generally find a
number Of the leading farmers of. the
vicinity engaged in the solution Of
their farm problems. The discussion
may be one Of many things, the des-
truction Of the gopher, determination
of foul weed crop rotation, or ap-
proved types Of farm machinery, but
whatever it is you will always find
the proprietor well versed on the sub
ject. >
