ARMAMENT HOPES
REAL, SAYS CHILD
Ambassador Declares Secret
Whispers Against ParIey
Are Those of Imperia|ists.

ROME. Italy, October II. - The
| voice that states openly or whispers in
secret that the limitation of armament
is not possible Is the voice of imperial
| ism," declares United States Ambassa-
dor Richard w. Child. in an interview
in the Rome Tribuna. Referring to
other opinions concerning the Wash
iEgton conference, Mr.. Child says:
The conference springs from the
heart of the people and the measure
of it's success will depend on the de-
sire to Cooperate shown by the people
believe that the weight of useless ar
! mament. of taxes and of waste will be
tolerated forever by the people of
the various nations. In democratic
countries the insistence for the limita-
tion of armament will be loudly cX-
pressed. 1t was thus expressed in
the United States, and this is the force
that pressed for the conference. 1t
was not the voice of large associated
financial interests, but the. voice of
farmers, workers and small business
men--the voice of those who see
simply and clearly how the world is
wasting its resources and increasing
the risk Of new wars.
1T was not the voice of imperial
iStic politics. Whoever heard an i'm
peria1ist raise his voice in favor of
the limitation of armament: 1t was
not the voice of people without the
faith or courage or strength needed
to fight an efficient and successful
war should such war ever become
necessary. 1t was the voice of a peo-
pie which. possessing incompara BIZ
resources for making war. is sufii-
ciently enlightened to invite the other
peoples of the world to find a COM
mon means for adapting these re-
sources to the prJ:ress that accom-
panies uninterrupted peace"
Throughout the interview, Of which
the foregoing are the principal pass
ages. Ambassador Child expresses be
lief in the collaboration OF Italy and

terence.

Phyllis Smallwood Claimed by Death

Phyllis SmallwOod Claimed by Death
Phyllis, the five-year-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Burton Smallwood,
passed away at the home of her par
ents, 113 Fifth Ave. S. E. Tuesday
night from heart trouble, superinduc-
ed by diphtheria. The child was re-
covering from the latter disease which
however left her heart in a weakened
condition.
The funeral services, which were
private, owing to the nature of the dis
ease, was held this afternoon at 4
o'clock from the residence. The re-
mains were inferred in Rose Hill GEM
etery. Rev. p. w. Erickson, pastor
of the First Presbyterian church, had
charge of the services at the grave.
The father of the deceased is the
we'll known manual training instruct
or of the Minot schools. The little
girl, who was born in this city, was
an especially sweet, beautiful child
and the bereaved members of the fam
lily have the sincerest sympathy OF
their many friends over their ire
parable loss. Besides her parents,
she is survived by one brother, three
years old.
j. c. Smallwood, grandfather Of
the child, was summoned from Duluth,
where he had gone to attend the fun
eral of his old time friend, Henry
Ketchum, arriving home today.

MR.. AND MRS. T. A. CALLAHAN
CELEBRATE GOLDEN WEDDIEC

Mr.. and Mrs. T. A. Callahan, who
were married fifty years ago were
honored by the w. r. C. and G. A. R.
of Minot Tuesday with Golden we'd
ding celebration that will long be re-
membered. The affair was held in the
Sons of Norway hall. These organ
izations had been making extensive
preparations for the affair and learn
ed by accident that the worthy couple
were married at Fon du Lac, Wis,
their former home, just fifty years
ago on June 18.
The couple were escorted to the
altar at the Sons of Norway hall and
again exchanged vows, the ceremony
being performed by Mrs. VIM. Muir
ray who is said to have even more
impressive ceremony than her hus-
band. The couple were attended by
Mr.. and Mrs. Conklin, J. D. White
and Mrs. Charles Mckenzie. Mrs. w.
D. Wilson and Mrs. VIM. Brakeman,
dressed in white and with hair hang
ing, acted as the little flower girls.
After the ceremony, H. C. Bemis, a
Civil war veteran, ventured to kiss
the bride Of Comrade Callahan and
others followed. The groom not
wishing to be sighted motioned to the
ladies and he was instantly kissed in
true Hobson style.
A fine dinner in charge Of Mrs.
Youngman was served.
Among the old soldiers present be-
sides Mr.. Callahan were T. c. Conk-
lin, H. C. Bemis, J. D. White and M.
Skarison of Velva.
An interesting program was rem
dered. Prof. j. H. Cotton sang, "The
Path of the Trail" Mrs. Cotton accom-
panying him. Miss Reishus sang,
"Mate O. Mine," and when You and
l Were Young" Mr.. Cotton and Miss
Reishus sang "Silver Threads Among
the Gold," the company joining in the
chorus.
Fifteen members of the Velva w.
r. C. arrived during the afternoon.
Mrs. Strong, one of the members, was
member of the first Minot w. r. c..
Corps. Altho 80 years of age, Mrs.
Strong is very agile and when taken
for a ride about the city could hardly
believe that this was the Minot she
had known many years ago.
Mr.. Callahan was presented with a
gold pencil and Mrs. Callahan with a
gold brooch.
Mr.. and Mrs. Callahan came to Mi
not six years ago. Mr.. Callahan as a
boy of IA, enlisted in the First Wis
consin Cavalry, Co. C. Mr.. and Mrs.
Callahan have eleven children living,
five of them as follows residing in
Minot; Florence, Blanche, Frank, Ed
and Charlie. Mr.: and Mrs. Callahan
are among the most respected Of our
cif;zons and II is tho wish of their
many friends that they will live to
enjoy many more anniversaries of
perfect welded bliss.

Additional Editorial

The Independent believes that the
businessmen of Minot are overlooking
very important problem when they
neglect to make plans for potato
warehouse. Minot could become the
potato center of northwestern North
Dakota just as Moorhead has become
the center of the district for western
Minnesota and eastern North Dakota
if proper facilities could be provided
for storing, grading and loading the
potatoes. 1t is estimated that ware
house of fully 100000 bushels
capacity should be built in Minot.
This would cost between 100000
and $5O,OOO.OO. Minot would thus
become the central potato market for
this vast fertile territory. There is
no reason why the Mouse river potato
should not win as much fame in the
southern markets as have the Red
river potato. Our soil is practically
free from the diseases that attack the
crop. in so many localities. This dis
trict is rapidly being developed in
potato growing. Burlington will
market 300 cars of splendid tubers
this year. Berthold will do equally
as we'll. Foxholm which just started
growing potatoes on a larger scale
this year will market so cars. Then
there are Mohall, Granville, Makoti
and other communities that have be-
come interested in this important in
dustry. Potatoes would be shipped
to Minot by the carload if large
warehouse were constructed here and
buyers would make this city their
headquarters. Minot heretofore has
not paid much attention to the grow
ing of potatoes. The farmers in the
immediate vicinity Of Minot have done
little with the product but have left
it for those living farther away to
pave the way. With a modern ware
house in our city, vast acreage close
to our city would undoubtedly be
planted.
