The governors message contained
very little OF interest. Beyond ask
ing the members of the joint assem-
bly, to appropriate the necessary mon
ey to run the state departments and
then go home and slop their hogs,
he had very. little to say. He did not
exactly use the hog-slopping term.
but he might as we'll have done it,
and he came very much nearer doing
SO than the senior Twitchell ever did.
The governor recommends the a
doption OF concurrent resolution
confirming and approving the par
ticipation" Of North Dakota in the
St. Lawrence Tidewater Association !;
he also recommends the adoption OF
a memorial to congress in favor OF
putting all railroad properties in the
state subject to the laws of the state
in the same manner as all other
property within the state.
accidentally the governor also ad-
mits that the grain marketing prob
lens cannot be solved by legislation
in Bismarck, as so many League agi-
tators have claimtd, and he therefore
recommends the adoption Of a de-
mand upon congress to enact such
legislation as is necessary in order
to put our main ndustry-agricul-
ture-on a business basis"
The one exception from the gener,
al rule of not giving the legislature
any information is the department
of the Commission of immigration
President Worst has furnished the
governor with a report covering the
period from August Z, 1919, to No
vember 1, 1920. The financial state
ment for this period shows expen'
ditures to the amount of $126,090..

Journal. Whatever may be said OF
Big Biz it certainly fayors our i:lmi-
grafton bureau.
Readers OF this paper will remem-
Der the hue and cry which was
raised when, under the last Hanna
administration, an attempt was made
to appropriate 100000 for immigra-
ton propaganda purposes This mea-
sure was characterized as a graft
measure in the interest of the real
estate dealers.
Commissioner and president emer-
itus Worst is quite candid in admit
ing that the real estate men neces-
Sarily must benefit from the immi-
grafton work if the state is to get
any benefit from it. He says it is
hard TO keep track OF all the results
carried on by his department as the
state has no land for sale and deals
OF this kind therefore must be closed

so far, says the report, about $50
1amilie, have decided to settle in
North Dakota and have bought land
from real estate men, and thousands
OF others are ready to follow this
example this year, or as soon as they
can tear themselves loose from pres
ent environments.
The commissioner recommends a
closer cooperation between the state
department and real estate dealers
and suggest that they, for this pur-
pose, be put under a license system.
According to the report of the
state immigration commissioner this
department is carrying on its work in
some states that are themselves on
the lookout for more settlers. In
only two European countries is the
commission carrying on special pro-
poganda, namely in Holland and Bel
GUM. Resident agents are at work
there. The department has, however
no agents in the three Scandinavian
countries or in Northern Europe. To
make up for this Walter Ligget, for
merly publicity man for the Nonpar-
tisan League, is doing special i'm
migration work in Washington, D. G.

Heavy Storm
Last Monday
Wind and Lightning Cause Much
Damage.

A downpour of rain accompanied by
rapid-fire lightning and heavy wind
struck East Jordan and vicinity about
one O'Clock Monday afternoon, causing
considerable damage to property.
At the James Lilak farm in Jordan
township, the main barn was struck by
lightning and burned The barn was
well filled with hay, together with a
mower, rake and lot of farm imple-
ments. All was destroyed entailing a
loss of nearly $4,000. We understand
the property was uninsured. An ad-
joining barn was saved with difficulty.
On the John Carson farm in South
Arm, one silo was blown over and the
roof of another thrown a considerable
distance.
The Frank Lenosky barn was shift
ed foot on its foundation.
AT the Martin Ruhling far rm just
north of the city, herd of five cattle
were killed by lightning and another
cow was stunned. In the herd were
two blooded Shorthorns and the loss
to Mr.. Ruhling is considerable. The
cattle were under tree when struck,
but the tree itself shows no trace OF
the bolt of lightning.
In the heavy downpour of rain high
ways were washed out in places and
orchards and other trees were badly
injured by the high winds.

he said: mo matter how far away

these places carefully with plain lard,
lard to which a few drops Of kero-
sene have been added or by using
drop of olive oil. Too much grease
may prove fatal to the poults.
AS the poults grow, lice will some
times be present in harmful numbers
and yet escape the notice of the per-
son who does not know where to look
for them. If one looks in the hollows
or creaSes on the upper side OF the
wing between the quilts of the main
wing feathers, they may find hiding
places there literally swarming with
lice. Grease applied TO these places
will prove effective in getting rid of
the lice.
Lice may also occur on other parts
Of the body and must be combated.
If your young turkeys are droopy
and unthrifty and you have examined
them without finding any lice. do not
be too sure that none are present UNI
til you have tried the following:
Submerge the little turkey in warm
water, hCtliing 1t with just its bill
sticking out SO that it can breathe,
until the entire plumage is wet.
Then remove it from the water and
wrap in n light-colored cloth which
has previously been warmed and hold
ii in this manner for several min
utes. Then take the cloth off. If
there are no lice, on 1t, the turkey
is free from them, and some other ex-
PLANTATION than lice must be sought for
its condition. Usually, however, a
surprisingly large number of lice will
he found on the cloth, even in cases
where a cursory examination had con-
WINGED the owner that it was absolute
ly free.
