GRASsHOPPER MEETING

"A meeting was called at the Court
Rooms Saturday July 31st to discuss
the present. grasshopper situation and
plans. for the organization of next
years campaign. Also to give oppor-
tunity to as many as. possible to hear
Mr.. Burrill, Federal Entomologist,
who has been in the County the past
month.
Mr.. Burrill discussed various meth
ods~ of destruction and some of the
habits Of the grasshoppers. He called
attention to the fact that the hoppers
that have infested Bottineau County
are natives and that we cannot hope
for them to get up and leave so long
as weather conditions are as favor
able as they have been. He discussed
the four main periods Of the hopper's
life and the best ways Of destroying
them at that time.
Commencing in the spring the first
step would be destroying the eggs.
These egg beds, however, should be
located as near as possible in the fall,
altho several methods of destruction
were discussed the surest one is good
fall plowing, and, if the soil is rolled
or packed after the plow, deep spring
plowing. The second stage was the
Matching stage or when the hoppers
first make their appearance. Oil or
burning can be done to advantage but
bait is the best. The third stage is
when the adult hopper starts flying.
Here is where co-oeprative action
counts. Everybody should then put
out bats so that even tho the hoppers
fly from one farm to another they
are met with the same treatment
poison bait.
The fourth stage is the egg laying
stage; attention was called to the
fact that a female hopper deposits
from two to four pods of eggs during
the fall and that even if she has had
opportunity to deposit one pod, poi
son should be spread to prevent the
depositing Of more.
County Agent Aamodt discussed
plans for the organization Of next
years. campaign and emphasized the
importance Of fall plowing and the
blowing up of roadsides as much as
possible this fall thus destroying as
many eggs as possible this fall. The
various townships were asked to ap-
point two supervisors for each town.
ship so that arrangements could be
made this fall and winter for mach
inery, supplies and other equipment
so that the highest efficiency could
be attained in the spring campaign.
He called attention to the fact that
altho the County Commissioners had
the power to compel every farmer to
put out poisoned bait it should not
have to be necessary as this is every
body's fight and that if real cam
paign was to be put on and the grass
hopper epidemic controlled it would
be necessary for everybody to give
their unqualified support.

.LADD Will NOT Be
OPPOSED BY |. Y. A.

Grand FOrkS-AC It's meeClng mere
the Committee Of 81, representing the
leaders in the I. v. A., practically
conceded the lection Of DR.. E. F. Ladd
to the United States Senate from
North Dakota. The Anti-farmer forces
adjourned without endorsing H. H.
Perry, his Democratic opponent. The
I. v. A. bosses entertain the opinion
that it will be waste of time and
money 20 make campaign against
Ladd. T. ]. Nelson of Glen Ullin was
endorsed for commissioner Of agri-
culture and labor.
The discussions with reference to-
the feasibility Of supporting J. F. T.
O'Connor as the Democratic standard
bearer to run against Governor Lynn
j. Frazier were bitter and acrimoni-
Gus at times. O'Connor is evidently a
milestone around the I. V. "A. neck,
because the bosses spent "a hours
considering whether or not they would
"ditch' him. Eventually, however,
they decided to abide by their pre-
primary pledges and support him.
The conference which was called by
the Executive Committee Of the Inde-
pendent Voters Association for the
purpose Of selecting an Independent
ticket to oppose the farmer-labor fore
es ended in victory for the Demo-
Gratis. John F. McGrann Of Fargo was
endorsed for lieutenant governor and
Roy Chisholm for state auditor.
These men were the choice of the
Democratic convention in Fargo last
May.
The O'Connor wing Of the commit
tee accused the LANCER supporters OF
endeavoring to evade their primary
promises and double-cross them. The
DemocraticsBosses insisted, however,
that Langef had been whipped to a
finish and the only chance which the
I. V. A. has in the fall campaign is
to rally around O'Connor, weak as
he is politically speaking. The shrewd-
er and more astute Bosses in the l.
v. A. pronounced O'Connor an impos-
sibility among the farmers, because OF
the fact that he fought the farmer-ia-
Dor industrial program as we'll as the
home builders act and state hail in
surance law when these Progressive
measures were up for consideration
in the legislature.
It was generally conceded - that
the great majority Of North Dakota
farmers being wise to his legislative
record. there was no alternative but to
accept him. The cleverest and cu'es'
IV. A. leaders are now in nice di-
lemna with O'Connor on their hands
He never made any pretense OF BENG
a Nonpartisan Lacquer. How to put
him across" among alert Leaguers IS
their battling problem.
The Anti-League boys are glum,
downhearted and grouchy, to say the
least.

THE OUTLAW COAL STRIKE.

John l.. Lewis, international president Of the
United Mine Workers, has placed the blame
for the coal mine troubles where Il belongs
on the shoulders OF radical strike leaders
chief among whom Is harrington the right
hand man of Alex Howat. Howat says by
the way, that harrington will help him smash
the Kansas law.
Lewis says Of Harrington that his efforts
were surrepttious and nocturnal" and he
lays the blame for the strike squarely on him.
In Kansas the situation Is a parallel of that
In. the nation. Ip plain words, Howat is try
Ing to nuify the very contract he approved
and helped negotiate. This contract called
for six-day week with fines for Saturday
lay-ofM. Now Howat has been TRYING to
break that contract and encouraging the min
to do so.
This contract is a part of the system OF
collective bargai--ng," OF which SO much Is
heard these days. II Howat succeeds in break :
ing the contract, he is doing more to smash
the principle OF collective bargaining than ali
OF the capitalists and greedy employers In the
country. for II takes two TO make a bargain
and organized labor is the party that is de
manding the principle
The outcome OF the outlaw strike will he
awaited with interest by the general public
for some important principles are Mt stake
The issue of radical leadership versus the
saner kind OF leadership Is coming TO a head
Lewis has broken with Harrington, and infer
entially with Howat and the rest of the
trouble makers.
The Howat Harrington regime is plainly

WHEN MOTHERS SEWING BUTTONS ON

And watch her In her rocking chair:

Each little waist and undervest
She fondles In a mothers way
And notes each sign of sturdy play
And shakes her head and says to me;

There's something In her patient eyes,
As In and OUT her needle flies,
Which seems TO tell the Joy she takes
In every little stitch she makes;
An hour OF peace has settled down.

And even ] am different then.
For l forsake the ways OF men
And see about the garments there
Bright visions of happy pair.
Buttons are closely linked TO Joy.
Each little girl and little boy
Who dare 10 climb the garden fence
Buys that delight at their expense;
Buttons are childhood's tattle tales
Swifter than kilograms or mails
They fly to tell OF moments glad
That little boys and girls have had,
And mother reads the stories there
From every vacant space and tear.
