NESTOSHOPES
TO DISPOSE OF !.
HAIL WARRANTS
Efforts Being Made to Save
Farmers Loss Through
Heavy Discounts.

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 14.-The
state administration is endeavoring to.
evolve a. plan for the disposition of
hail warrants for the year 1921 to
save farmers from disastrous dis
counts" Governor R.. A. Nestos made
known today. Negotiations have been
carried on with the War Finance Cor
poration and WITH large trust com
panies. Governor Nestos, in a state
ment. said:
During the last two weeks 1 have
made considerable Investigation for
the purpose of ascertaining whether it
is possible to dispose of the 1921 is
sue of hail warrants without discount,
or at least at a very small discount.
l have taken this matter up with the
representatives Of a couple of trust
companies, and an agency dealing in
securities. and have also written to
the War Finance Corporation for the
purpose of ascertaining whether it is
possible for that body to handle the
hail warrants @
Writes War Finance Corporation.
I, discovered thai as far as the War
Finance Corporation is concerned the
act does not make provision for the
purchase of any securities outrigh.
but that with the hail warrants as col
lateral, loans may be made to the ex.
tent of 90 per cent of the amount Of
the warrants so that with $3,00o,00t
which is approximately the amount
of warrants to be issued for 1921
s2,700.000 might be borrowed from
the War Finance Corporation will
these warrants as the collateral secur'
ing the loan. 81.
Some of the trust companies will
whom I have been negotiating sug
gest a possibility of handling these
warrants at a discount Of about 42ol
s. per cent. Even this would be /:
great saving as compared with tn
discounts at which many of these a
rants have been sold but if arrange
ments can be made to handle ihes'
warrants practically at par I feel j
should be done for the farmers of on
state who are now badly in need o
funds.

New York-Lynch law is rampant

I'm the SOUTH" says the World,
'there are bodies of men organized to
set aside ordinary procedure and take
immediate revenge on persons, white
or black, who by word or deed violate
the sacred codes that have grown up
around the color line. In the north
the differences of opinion are mainly
economic, and he who advocates what
seems radical or dangerous to the ma

minority-lays himself open to being

wages in Australia is positively wick

which declares that the war cost the
rich nothing and that they now pos
sess undreamed of wealth.
"There are simpletons," says the
Worker, "who actually believe that
every section of the community was
hurt by the great conflict. 1t is in
credible to them that in that time
of worldwide agony men should be
battening on the pain and sorrow of
the nations, and reaping a hideous
harvest from the slaughter of the
battle fields. Yet it is true
"The war did not depress Aus
trilian industries. Nor did it preju-
dicially effect the operations of COM
merce and finance in this country.
"On the contrary, it stimulated bus
mess in every sphere. New, indus
tries were established to supply the
needs of the combatants. Old ones
were suddenly flung into a whirl of
accelerated production. Trade imme-
diately felt the impulse of this indus
trial activity. The shops were crowd
ed with customers buying at high
prices. Trade investors and specula-
tors jostled one another in the banks
"Be it remembered always that the

"The government conducted it's mil.
itary operations on borrowed money
for which it paid exorbitant rates OF
interest. Instead of levying on the

ernment implored them to lend then
credit and taxed the workers to meet

SINK BIG SHIPS
Means Building of Vast Air
Fleets for Bombing
However, Battle Ship Build
ing Program Goes
Right On

Washington.-Th former German
dreadnaught Ostfriesland is at the
bottom of the Atlantic ocean as the
result of bombing experiments under
direction of naval officials.
This is the first time in the worlds
history that high explosive bomb as
heavy as one ton has been used in
anything resembling war conditions.
The claim is made that this bomb
ing will prove as historic as when
the discovery of gunpowder forced the
disuse of the bow and arrow, and that
the battle ship has about reached it's
maximum of efficiency while air plane
development is yet in its infancy.
No naval expert has yet accepted
this theory. They insist that the
bombing had no relation to actual
warfare, as the former German ship
was stationary and that it had no air
craft guns or air planes as auxiliaries
to fight off the bombers. They agree,
however, that the battle ship must
face new conditions and the building
of huge floating airplane carriers is
already being advocated. 1t is urged
that one of these hangers be assigned
to each battle ship fleet for air planes
to start from. 1t is estimated that
the carriers will each cost $2,000,000.
While the battle ship advocates and
those favoring air planes argue over
the relative merits of these forces,
none of them will urge the lessening
of battle ship building. Neither do
they seem affected in the slightest de-
gree by talk of universal disarma-
ment, and proceed as if conference
for this purpose was never suggested.
The bombing of the former dread
naught will stimulate agitation for a
vast and expensive air craft system,
with these advocates insisting on the
| regulation building of battle ships.
Every other naval power will un-
doubtedly take the same position.
| Representatives of these countries
| witnessed the bombing on invitation of
naval officials.
