HIGHLY COMMEND.
ABLE REPORT

In striking contrast with the waste
and extravaganza so prevalent in so
many public and private enterprises
the report of financial operations for
the season just closed mailed Wednes-
day by the officers of the Country Club
to all members must be highly graft
flying to the latter. The promptness
in making this report is also commend
able. No one objects to the spending
of our money if we know that it is
spent intelligently and judiciously.
We want to know, and have a right
to know how it is spent, and that we
have something of value to show for
it. 1t is incompetency, waste and ex-
travagance that we object to and have
a right to object to, whether it is a
private or public enterprise.
The report shows that the total
expended has been $4,955.68, Of which
amount $4,629.31 has been invested in
permanent improvements: on the Club
House and the Golf Course, while only
$326.37, which is less than seven per
cent of the total, went for expenses.
And nearly half Of this expense item
was paid to the professional who was
engaged to teach and stimulate inter-
est in the game, which all will agree
was necessary for the success of the
Club. The balance was spent for
printing, postage and other necessary
supplies, total of exactly $152.29.
which is remarkably small amount
for expenses, considering the progress
made by the club: which is already one
of the most lusty clubs in the state:
with nearly 100 members, more than
half of whom are playing the game
and playing it we'll, with consistent
in their scores.
The officers and directors of the
Club to whom is due the credit for
this excellent showing are Jas. J. Ear
ley, president; DR.. S. A. Zimmerman:
vice president; Burl Carr, secretary;
J. J. Crest, treasurer, and Directors
E. H. Mcfarland, C. F. Mudgett, L.
S. B. Richie, E. R. Roberts, C. R.
Simpson and L. S. Ward. Mr.. Mud
gett is chairman of the House Com
mittee and the chairman of the
Grounds Committee is E. H. McFar-
land, who was also the architect in
charge of the construction of the Club
House. We commend all these gentle
men for good work, prudently and in
diligently done: feeling confident that
in doing SO we are only making public
record of the good opinion and the
high appreciation of all the members
of the club and of the community as
well. A successful Country Club is a
good asset for any live town.
The membership is already larger
than it should be for nine hole
course according to the opinion of the
best golf authorities, and the direc-
tors feel that limit should soon be
placed. The matter will be taken up
and considered at a meeting in the
near future. All members and their
families, including all unmarried
in the city who have been play
ing as guests of the club this summer
and who will become associate men,
bers next season, have been invited to
inspect the new Club House next Sun
day afternoon between two and five
o'clock. The formal opening with a
supper and dance will be given next
spring to open the 1922 season.

as soon as it came due it was with
drawn. Any banker knows that there
isn't county in the state that hasn't
suffered the loss of hundreds Of thous-
ands of dollars in this way.
That tide of money must be turned
back to North Dakota. There shouldn't
be any trouble about selling our state
bonds now that sane government is re-
stored, but We must "sell'' North Da-
kota to get the money of individual in
vestors started back toward the state.

SEPARATED PEACE
SPLITS LEADERS
Harding Move, Following
Knox Resolution, Matter
of Conjecture.

WASHINGTON, May "A wide diver
gence Of opinion prevailed among Repub-
lican members of Congress today as to
what steps President Harding may take
toward entering into peace negotiations
with Germany following the final passage
by Congress of the Knox peace resolution.
The resolution, passed by the Senate
Saturday night by a vote of 40 to %, is
expected to be the storm center of n tur-
bulent and partisan debate in the House
this week, but its Republican leaders hope
to force the passage of the measure by a
substantial majority by the weekend.
The Senate debate on the resolution
disclosed that Republican Senators,
although united upon the principle Of 1t
the ending Of the long existing tech
meal state of war between the United
States and the central powers-are still
divided as to whether the American
Government should, seek to make a
separate peace with Germany or attempt
to negotiate a peace based upon a, re-
vised treaty of Versailles.
Senator Lodge, Massachusetts, the
Republican leader, expressed the belief
that President Harding would undertake
a treaty Of peace with Germany follow
ing the passage Of the Knox measure
but how soon Mr. Harding would make
such a move, or what kind Of a treaty
he thought the President would seek to
negotiate. Senator Lodge did not ex-
plain.

CHICAGO STOCK
HANDLERS QUIT
Strike of 1,500 Men Threatens
Tie-up of Yards.

CHICAGO. May 2.-Refusing to accept
a wage cut of s cents per hour, 1900 live
stock handlers at the Chicago stock
yards are on strike today. The strike
is expected to cause serious handicap to
the handling of stock at the yards and
may result In a complete tie-up Of the
packing industry here.
Three hundred strikebreakers had been
hired to take the places of men on strike
Union workmen In the packing plants,
however, are said to have refused to
handle stock that has been previously
handled by nom union workmen
Reports that the strikers had threat
ened violence to the strikebreakers re-
suited in extra police precautions.
The live stock handlers are the men
the slaughter houses. They unload all
cars, feed and water the stock and drive
them from the pens. Interruption of this
work causes congestion on the tracks
curtails the meat supply and is likely
TO cause loss of live stock through lack
of care.
The strikers are reported to have re
fused TO accept Judge Samuel Alschuler,
official arbitrator of stockyards wage
ployers contend, Is a violation of the
agreement with Secretary Of Labor Davis
by which a general strike In stockyards
of the country was averted several weeks
ago.

AGREE TO NEW
WAGE SCHEDULE
Bricklayers' and MasOns' Ac-
ton Held Wedge.

The Brieklayers' and Masons' Union
and the Hold Carriers and Masons' Tend
ers' Union have agreed to a new wage
scale, according to a statement issued
today by T. Barlow Hatfield, president
of the Building Contractors Association
of indianapolis. Although these two
unions did not join in the general walk
out of the Building Trades Union they
are part Of the Building Trades Coun-
ell, which ordered the strike.
The decision to accept a cut in wages
is expected by the employers to have
an effect on the other unions.
Mr.. Hatfelds statement Is as follows:
1.-THE BrickIayers and Masons' Union,
whose contract did not expire until May
], 1921, have signi1ed their willingness
to accept a wage reduction for the year
ending April 30, 1922. Of so cents per
day Likewise the Hodcarriers and Ma
sons Tenders Union have agreed TO
wage reduction Of 40 cents per day Tor
the same period.
"These two unions have apparently
seen the trend Of the times and are Will
ing to accept lower wages IN order 70
lower building costs and stimulate
building. And while these two unions
did not come under the Building Trades
Council mandate to strike April Is on
account Of their contract not expiring
until May 1, they are members OF the
Building Trades Council and as such are
subject to its rules and regulations:
"The Bricklayers and Hold carriers
while accepting the wage reduction above
set forth, have not yet slgnlned their
willingness TO accept the terms and con.
ditions Of the uniform contract terms o.:
which contract are now under discussion
between the bosses and union men.
THE Building Contractors Association
insists that certain restrictive clauses be
eliminated from all contracts, including
bricklayers and hod carriers. and Is
standing their ground in making opera
tive. reasonable contracts between all
unions and the contractors, in order that
building work may not be hampered In
the future.
~ am optimistic as to the outcome OF
the negotiations that have been going on
with the bricklayers and bod carriers
and believe that proper working condi .
tions win be Incorporated in the con
tract agreements and with the wage re-
duction, expect that harmonious relations
will be established between these two
unions the building Trades Council and
the Building Contractors Association"

CLAYCOMBE GETS
DOUBLE CROSS
Machine Sacrifices Him to the
Negro Vote.

Lloyd D. CIaycombe, candidate for the
Republican nomination for council, Third
district, has come to a last minute reali-
cation that the News-Jewett machine has
sacrificed him to the negro vote.
His name has been left OF the organi-
zation slate in those precincts where the
negro vote predOIainates and unless the
white vote of the party for him is ex-
ceptionally strong, William E. Brown,
negro, is likely to be nominated for that
district.
Brown is also opposed by James r.
Norrel, q representative of the better ele-
ment of the colored voters, but the ma
chine workers are all instructed to help
Brown, as his candidacy has the sanction
of the Lemcke-Jewett organization.
Claycombe's friends are now making a
last minute appeal to the white voterg Of
Indianapolis to nominate him IN order
to keep the organization negroes from
having q representative in the city coun-

Doheney.

WASHINGTON, May 2,--widespread re-
ports Of an impending world shortage OF
oil due to exhaustion of the Mexican
fields within three years by the iuyasion
of salt water are apparently refuted by
Edward L. Doheney. head of what is
probably the greatest oil producing cor

Tho Doheney interests, which comprise
the Mexican Petroleum Company and
dozen subsidiaries, led oil = other com
panies In 1920 in the amount Of produc-
ton from the Mexican fields, and are now
exporting oil from Mexico at the rate Of
approximately 10000 barrels a day.
Mr. poheney deprecates the seriousness
Of the much mooted question Of salt wa
ter invasion" and asserts that It is not
menace to the properties Of his company
and SIS not alarming as to its probable
effect upon the producing situation In the
Mexican fields"
