North Dakota to Give "a Cars of
Wheat to Starving

County Agents in North Dakota
working thru the county farm bureau
organiz izations have been pledged to
cooperate in the Near East Relief
drive to raise 81 carloads of wheat in
this state to be sent to the Near East
Relief orphanages and to the Assy-
sian, Armenian, Persian and Russian
refugees in Mesopotamia and Con-
stantinople.
In letter Of instruction from
County Agent Leader John w. Haw,
the county agents are asked to give
their full-hearted support to the
movement.
"Under present conditions,
would anticipate that the average
farmer would feel that he could not
donate in excess Of 10 bushels of oats
or from 3 to 5 bushels of wheat
says Mr.. Haw in this letter. "A
two or three bushel donation OF
wheat, | would say was fair dona-
ton. Accumulation of grain would
be greatly facilitated if the farmers
Of township would concentrate their
donations on one or two farms"
| Literature accompanying the an
nouncement of the drive says:
wheat will be shipped to the cen
trail milling stations where it is
ground into flour and shipped by train
to the nearest seaport. The Nation
al Committee states that not one
pound of grain will be sold and con-
verted into anything else but flour
Corn, oats, barley and rye will be ac-
ceptable, but it seems rather doubt
fyl if these commodities are repre-
sented enough in North Dakota for
US to make shipments-wheat win be
the more easily arranged and handled.
Members of the state committee in
charge of the campaign are. as fol-
lows: H. B. Fuller, secretary,
North Dakota Farm Bureau Feder-
alton, chairman; Gordon W. Randlett,
director, North Dakota Extension
Division; John w. Haw, state county
agent leader; John N. Hagan, state
Commissioner Of agriculture, and A.
j.. Surratt, federal crop. statistician
at Grand Forks.

J. ". BrintOn attacks
Fargo League Editor

Job Wells Brinton, formerly private
secretary to A. G. TOwnley, very stren-
uously objects to being accused Of
having report published to the effect
that a warrant has been issued for his
arrest on the charge of passing q
worthless check for $4,000. Brinton
was accused of issuing a check on a
bank at Kuhn, N. D., the check being
given that he did not have sufficient
funds in the bank. Brinton notified
his attorney, Arthur LIE Sueur, who
determined that there was plenty of
money in the bank to cover the check
at all times. Some Of the papers
retracted the statement that war
rant had been issued for Brinton. The
Courier-News at Fargo did not appear
to want to make retraction. Brin.
ton left Minot Monday for Fargo and
met r. NJ. McClintock, editor of the
Courier News, at hotel, stating that
McClintock refused to make retrac.
ton. Brinton removed McClintock' s
glasses, lay them on the table and
proceeded to beat the editor. When
Brinton was thru, the editor made a
hasty exit. sit is said that he was
given a pair Of black eyes and blood
was spilled somewhere for there was
gore all over one Of Brinton's arms.
Brinton returned to Minot Wednesday.
II presume that I'll be arrested"
he stated, "as soon as McClintock is
able to leave the house. I merely i'm
pressed upon him as forcibly as
could that it was not proper for a
newspaper to publish libelous matter
against anyone without first investi-
eating the truth"
