from NJ. Noulens sums UP his views
thus:
THE, .Bolshevist power Is the enemy

Russia detection from the Entente. II

the German armistice. These acts show

Tyranny and terror. which arc in

the pale Of humanity. No society o!
nations could deal with such a regime
which constitutes to-day the most serious
obstacle to a general peace. Until the

Allies actively undertake. Europe will
continue TO be exposed to tho severest
risks of agitation and war"

Preliminary conversations over the
structure of-sthe league OF nations are
strictly speaking. still In the stage of
being discussed in meetings OF the SUI
preme Council. and arc not technically
before the Peace Congress as a whole.
/ hut the fact that the congress has ad-
vanced this question to the foremost
place in its Programme Is taken To in
dictate that such progress is being made
In the Supreme Council as to warrant
the expectation that definite. and some
what detailed. programme will soon be
evolved. This programme. It is believed.
Will present the common thought of the
leaders of the United States, Great
Britain and France. and. therefore. may
furnish starting point from which al.
the peace delegates may participate in

OF the work OF the Peace Congress TO

With definite plan formed for erect
Ing structure upon which all nations
can agree. there are about twenty Ave
working days remaining OF the time
that President Wilson has allotted 10
himself for work in France before leav-
ing for home. The question being asked
Is whether he can in this comparatively

Such plan. elrTent discussion in
Paris brings out. is intended by those
who favor Il to virt ualiy establish a con-
cert Of power among the principal ma
tons for preservation % world peace.
This would be extended to what would
be virtually guardianship OF the
smaller nations, applying to them the
principles which govern participation in
the league by their greater sisters.
BY this plan IL Is apparently purposed
to internat!onalize the guardianship Of
smaller nations, with the idea that there
shall he no domination over them by one
nation, economically or financially. II Is
proper to state at this Juncture that
President Wilson himself has a reason
ably complete plan for the formation of
the league OF nations II also may be
stated that he highly regards many fea-
lures OF the plan presented by Gen.
SHUTS and is working in close harmony
with ". Bourgeois and Lord Rnbs' Z
Cecil.

the Russian situation. the society ~

tageous position and steady develop

Many of the Presidents closest
advisers are reasonably convinced
he can do so. They base their
opinion on what appears to be
Spontaneous developments, on express
sions Indicating adherence to the league
plan by Great Britain, France and Ita.y

public addresses as being quite necessary

lice force. and that the question whether

he left to each nation individually in
each instance. the general Plan being
most talked about embodies an enlarge
ment Of the principles contained in the
treaties negotiated by William Jennings
Bryan. These provide for delay OF 4
year before declaring war and investiga-
lions by a special commission of all dis
putes and that no declaration OF war
shall be made thereafter without giving
certain notice.

Good Stock Coming
To the Front Here

A fairly good crowd attended the
VIM. Wood sale last Saturday and the
.stock brought good prices. Mr.. Wood
had some Of the best milking Holsteins
in the country. He sold four cows prev
ious to the auction at $3.50 each. This
fact tended to bring up the prices on
the young stock descended from these
cows. His remaining cows. pure bred
tho not registered, brought considerable
over 500 head and the young stock
sold proportionately well.
And, it is a matter of qualification
that the stock was all bought by neigh
bors of Mr.. Wood and so will remain
in the community. Thus is it evidenced
that the farmers are awakening to the
Importance of breeding better stock. 1t
costs no more if as much to feed the
good stock than it does to feed scrubs.

herd is more, but in the long run it.

ready sale at good prices except horses,

goods of all descriptions had been
brought to the sale for disposal and
were bought by people who wished to
reduce the high cost of living. Fair
weather favored the sale on both days
and helped bring the people.
The stores also did a rushing busi-

Hearing at Thief River
Farmers From Six Counties Present to
Argue For and Against

The court room at Thief River Falls
was packed to the doors last Friday at
the hearing on the Red Lake river flood
prevention, farmers from all parts of
bennington, Marshall, Roseau, Polk,
Clearwater and Beltrami counties being
present in answer to notices stating
that Judges Andrew Grindeland, of
Warren, and 3. NJ stanton, Of Bemidji,
would listen to arguments regarding
the making Of Thief River Falls tie
seat of business in the matter.
Attorneys W. J. Brown, of Thief Ri
yer Falls, Julius J. Olson, of Warren,
and SChas 3. Boughton, of Red Lake
Falls, were present and offered the SER
vices of all the attorneys Of the various
counties interested free of charge to the
property holders who wished to take
part in any Of the proceedings regard
ing the improvement Of the area to be
drained.
Mr.. Brown announced that at this
time a motion would be made that no
action be taken at this time as the Cliff
act under which the meeting was called
was so drawn that the area in question
took in all Of the Red Lake basin. This
meant that even the section of Beltrami
county far to the east and north of the
Red Lakes was included and that in
as-much as the people of those sections
had not been notified Of the meeting
that it would be best to wait until some
definite plan of drainage was worked
out and then call another meeting to
which all parties interested should be
invited. This met with the approval Of
the judges and adjournment for several
weeks was taken. 80
