It Is Only A New Name To
Get Something For Nothing

A lot of high.falutin things have
been said and written about that
queer bird, the Bolshevist, but moth
ing palmer and more to the point has
come this way in a long time that the
sayings of C. c.. Hanch, General
Manager of the Maxwell Motor Com
pany. Inc. Dealing in the intrica--
cies of the deeper ethical or sociolo-
gical theories, Mr.. Hanch. in straight
forward A~mericanese. states that:
"Bolshevism is a new name for a
very old human failing, viz.,a desire
to get something for nothing. 1t did
not originate in Russia, and it exists
in all countries. "This desire mani.
tests itself in several ways. some of
which are as follows: Acquiring
property by taking forcible possession
thereof; acquiring control Of property
without representing it's rightful ow.
nership receiving or demanding COM
%pensation without adequate service in
return. IA burglar or footpad is a
first class Bolshevist. "a Socialist
who does not recognize individual
property rights is a Bolshevist. can
employee who gives the equivalent
of four hours work and receives or
demands eigh hours pay is a Boil
shevist. Bolshevism has but n
antidote: namely governmental initia-
tive to protect life and property.
This initiative is the fundamental
function of all successful government
and must be backed up by force when
necessary. Loss of this initiative ia
invariably followed by anarchy-the
condition through which Russia is
now passing. Unrestrained anarchy
always cures itself by reason of the
fact that anarchists who acquire prop
erty unlawfnlly become converts to
the system of organized government
in order to protect themselves in the
possession of such property against
other less favored anarchists or Bol-
sbevists. The anarchy of Russia is
now being cured by this process.
From the first moment that the Rus
sian government lost to initiative to
protect life and property. no other
cure could be anticipated, and the
feeble efforts of other governments
to arrest the process of evolution
have been entirely impotent, as might
have been expected. No less than
armed intervention with sufficient
forces to effect conquest can Frestore
any former government which has
succumbed to anarchy and Bolshe-
vism.'

HALT SPREAD OF
EELW0RM INJURY
Farmers Urged to Maintain
Careful Watch for Calls and
Stamp Out Disease.
METHOD URGED
Precautionary Measures Should Be
Practiced to Thwart Disease
Most Damage Has Been Done
in State Of Virginia.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
To prevent the spread Of a serious
wheat disease that recently has done
much damage in certain parts Of the
United States, especially Virginia, the
United States department of agricul-
ture advises farmers in Virginia, West
Virginia, Maryland and California to
maintain a careful watch for eelworm
gals In their grain and to make all
possible efforts to stamp out the dis
ease.
The disease may be recognized in
the threshed grain by the presence Of
hard, dark-colored gals about one
half the size of a wheat kernel. These
gals contain the very small eelworms.
1t is best to get seed from uninfested
fields. Where this cannot be done, a
saltwater method is recommended for
removing the eelworm gals from the
sound grain to be sown.
The eelworm has done the most dam
age in Virginia causing as much as a
40 per cent loss in some fields this
year. 1t occurs in minor degree in
West Virginia, Maryland and Cali
fornia, these being the only states
where it's positive appearance is
known, but it is feared that the trou-
BILE occurs in other states and possibly
may have been overlooked or mistaken
for bunt, cookie seed Or bin-burnt
wheat.
Samples of wheat or grain thought
to be affected with this disease should
be sent for positive Identification to
the state agricultural experiment sta
ton or to the Office of cereal investiga-
tons, United States department of ag-
riculture, Washington, D. G.
The disease is not native to the Unit
ed States and it can be controlled by
careful precautions.
How to Clean Diseased Seed.
If d~isease-free seed cannot be OBJ
tanned, the "~salt-brihe" method is
recommended for separating the in
fected kernels, or gals, from the good
wheat kernels. A 20 per cent salt So
luton should be made by %dissolving 40
pounds of common salt in 25 gallons
of water. The diseased seed should
be poured slowly into this solution,
which meanwhile is stirred vigorously.
The sound wheat kernels will. sink,
while the gals, light kernels, and trash
will float. The gals and other float

ing material may be SKINNED off, after
which the salt solution, which may be
used repeatedly, should be drained
away and the grain rinsed in water i'm.
mediately. After the grain is dried by
spreading it on a floor or canvas and
stirring occasionally it is ready for
planting.
The diseased gals should never be
thrown on the ground or otherwise dis.
posed of until they have been plunged
for a few minutes into boiling water
to kill the eelworms. After being given
this boiling process they may be fed
to chickens.
Signs of Infection.
The disease is usually indicated by
it's effect on wheat heads in the fields.
although it may occur to some extent
on all parts of the plant above the
ground. Diseased heads ordinarily
stay green longer-that is, ripen late,
and are commonly smaller than
those not affected, while the chaff OF
glumes may be spread open a little by
the black eelworm balls. These gals
come in the wheat heads in place OF
good kernels. They are dark and
hard, and somewhat shorter and thick.
er than wheat grains. Often these can
be seen plainly in the affected heads
between the spreading glumes.
EeIworm's Life Cycle.
Within the wheat gals are thou.
sands of very small living but motion.
less "baby nematodes," called larvae
These, when placed in water, can be
barely seen as short, %threadlike fibers
which soon begin active movement
In the spring the young eelworms es'
cape into the soil from gals which
have fallen to the ground or which
were sown with the wheat seed. With
an eel-like movement they reach the
young seedlings, finally become located
between the leaf sheaths near the
buds, and as the plant grows are grad
ually carried up to the heads. There
they enter the young flowers and pro.
duce the gals, where they grow to
maturity and lay eggs which develop
into larvae. Thus the life cycle Is com.
pleted. AT maturity of the plant the
larvae in the gals become dried and
motionless, and can remain In thu,
condition alive for many years.

Democrats ba|k at
Joint Plan Meet
Gather In Fargo May 10Th
Means Bad Split Among
|. V. A. Forces

The Committee of Twenty One''
ingloriously left the political arena
last week. This l. V. A.. outfit
schemed to induce the reactionary
Republicans and Democrats to meet
simultaneously in Minot to agree to
an anti-farmer candidate for COVER
nor, 1t announced the plan amid
a great furry Of trumpets from the
kept press. Before twenty-four hours
elapsed opposition was manifested
and the succession of obstacles placed
in the way of the plot by the anti
league element effectually stif1ed it.
The final blow was administered last
week when Chairman Sve inbjorn
johnson of the Democratic State
Central Committee announced that
the Democratic state conference will
be held in Fargo May 10 instead of
in Minot May IL, when the reaction
airy wing of the Republicans are in
session, as the Twenty Oners recon-
mended.
The other development in anti
League circles is the split between
Jerry Bacon and "Two.Bit' Nelson.
Coming so soon after "Two Bits"
falling out with LANCER it looks as
tho the local disburser of the anti
farmer Doodle has a severe case of
swell-headedness and is determined to
stand alone. The chief cause of fric-
ton with Bacon seems to be a
jealousy over the leadership of the
old gang. Jerry's sympathy with
the LANCER candidacy has undoubted-
ly aggravated the l.. v. A. boss.
"Two-Bit'' takes it seriously for
he no longer frequents the Bacon
hotel when he is in Grand Forks, but
puts up at the Frederick.
The I. V. A. program appears to
have in view the capture of the De.
mocratic party and to place little
hope in the plan to win the Republi .
a primaries. The anti.League
forces favor the nomination of Wes-
ley Mcdowell, the Marion banker,
but the friends of j. F. T. O'Connor
seem to have captured the party or
%ganizatton and Nelson has a job on
his hands. w. J. Arnold who tries
to turn the church people and the
students against the League by
"anti-socialist" propaganda is con-
Quoting a series of debates in the
public schools and colleges which are
designed to stir up students against
the Nonpartisan League. This is the
chief l. v. A. activity at present.
One more boom was launched. 1t
is for George A. Mcfarland of Will.
liston who was formerly head of the
Valley City Normal school. The
dissension in the anti-farmer ranks is
so great that they have found it ne
cesssry to try to divert attention
from it by issuing statements in the
kept press about an imaginary dis
agreement between Governor Frazier
and Commissioner John N. Hagan.
The cordia. relations which exists
between these two farmer leaders are
too we'll known to awaken comment
in NonparCisan circles.

One often sees in the papers. and
hears by lip, the charge that the
workingmen are more to blame for
the present high prices than any
other class.
A study Of the facts proves such
charges false. The following facts.
gathered from 1.-THE Boot and Shoe
Record" q trade paper published in
the interests of the boot and shoe
manufacturers is q fitting example of
the falsity of the charges of respon-
sibiity for the high prices which are
so often aimed at labor's door: In
1905 the labor cost in a pair of
shoes was 60 LIS cents. Fourteen
years after, in 1919, the labor cost
was ST. OF. In other words, in four.
teen years labor secured an increase
of AZ cents in the production of a
pair of shoes. In 1905 the total cost
of the shoes at the plant was $3.50
per pair. In 1919 the cost was
So 90. Of this increase of SIS. 65
labor received only al 4-5 cents.
The leather trust increased it's tri-
butte from $l.I4 to $6.11.
