UNIVERSITY CLUB HEARS
INTERESTING ADDRESS ON
GASES BY THORNBURG

That the effectiveness OLA gases
used in the war has been greatly ex-
asSTated was the statement made
saturday night by F. B. Thornburg of
Meadows, in an address before thu
University club. Mr.. Thornburg Wa
member of the first gas regiment
and spent four continuous months on
the front.
He discussed gases from the often
sive and defensive point of view. Tho
initial gas shock, he stated, came in
the first of the war when the Ger
mans started several enormous at
tacks on troops stationed at certain
quarters. Not being prepared for gas
those attacked suffered heavily, he
stated, and consequently the exagger-
ated reports went out of the effect
i've part gas played in the war.
While gas was extensively used he
said, after the gas masks were put in
use the damage from it was very
light. 1t was found the deadly gases
We're too light to handle effectively
he explained. Aside from Chord
gas, he said the Germans used chiefly
gas, which was more effect
i've than any other because it would
hang over the ground for a consd-
cradle length of time. Mr.. Thornburg
explained, however. that it tended to
hinder operations and cause disorgan-
ization rather than proving a fatal
weapon of war. The French, he said,
used phosgene, a gas more deadly than
any used by the Germans and more
effective.

GANG EDITORS ALARMED

The. North Dakota Press associa-
tion, which is controlled by the old
gang editors, is sending out frantic
appeals to it's members to put little
backbone into their fight to repeal the
new laws in the referendum, June 26.
The big thing that alarms these edi-
tors is that under the newspaper bill,
there will be only one official news
paper instead Of three, and thus two
thirds Of the peoples money spent for
inserting official notices.will be saved.
It may be hard on some editors, but
if their business is properly conduct
ed, they can prosper without this
graft.

5. The farmer can take this receipt
! and get approximately 90 per cent Of
it's value at the state bank or at a
private bank.
6. The wheat is stored in the ele-
vator bins according to actual quail
ty.
7. The farmer will be charged the
actual cost Of this storage and no
i more.
| s. The farmer can remain the own
er of this wheat in the state elevator
and can get it back by presenting his
receipt, or he can let the state be his
dealer and sell it for him.
9. In the former case, the farmer
finds the buyer and the state transfers
the wheat to the buyer and charges
to the farmer the cost Of handling.
10. In the latter case, the state
waits for the most favorable time and
sends out samples to the millers and
advertises for bids.
I II. The millers knowing they can
get wheat that they can grade and
mix themselves and of the fine quail
ity, will eagerly bid for this wheat,
it is expected.
State to Publish Daily Bulletin
12. When it is sold to the highest
bidder, charges for the bare cost OF
weighing, cleaning, storage and hand
ling will be deducted and the farmer
will be paid the balance over and
above what he has already received
for his warehouse receipts. He will
also be paid for the screenings.
13. The state will publish daily
market bulletin available for all who
are interested. This will keep the
farmers informed as to prices. When
price quotations suit the farmers who
have grain stored in the state eleva-
tors or in their own bins under con-
tract to the state elevators, they will
order their grain sold. hTe state will
merely fulfill these orders for the
farmers at the actual cost Of doing it
or at low profit, returns from which
will be used to pay off the bonds on
these state enterprises, or as state
revenues to be used to cut down taxes.
Saving Will Be Great
The saving to the farmers Of this
state will be anywhere from 20 to 35c
on every bushel Of wheat, according
to Mr.. McGovern, as under this plan
Of grading and selling the grain it
/ will be sold for it's -four value and
will bring increased prices, aside from
that obtained by being able to hold
it wor the most satisfactory market.
The -four manufacturers will well
come this plan, according to Mr.. Nc
Govern, as it will enable the big mills
to buy and mix their own wheat, as
well as assure them Of state guaran-
teed prices which, in the opinion Of
the best posted grain men, will make
North Dakota wheat ia great demand
in milling circles.
