Naturally, the farmers are casting
about for some solution of their diff
cultics. Economy in production and
marketing and introduction Of other
sources of revenue Immediately sug-
gest themselves as remedies for the
situation. The North Dakota extern
sion division, working through its field
staff Of county agents and county club
leaders, is aiding the farmers every
where in the state in crystallizing COM
munity sentiment and getting action on
propositions which otherwise might
not reach farther than the 1--WE ought
to" stage.
Economy in production Of wheat is
being encouraged by the introduction
and distribution Of rust and drought
resistant varieties, such as the Ku-
banka durum and Kota, and by encour-
aging farmers to diversity, decrease
the labor costs, and get the ground in
better condition for growing wheat.

can make a profit with a small herd
is he has the necessary feed and hous-
ing facilities and if he exercises proper
care and management. Many formers
who comply with these specifications
do not have dairy cattle at the present
time, and it is toward these farmers
that our campaign is directed. We do
not want any farmer to go into the
game who cannot provide the feed and
housing facilities and who does not
want to care for dairy stock, for such
farmer would surely make a failure"
AS result Of the work of the extern
t o aareia ofah
sion division have been held in hum
dreds Of communities Of the state at
which the merits Of the dairy hedr
have been pointed out and the cooper
alton of the local business men in fin
ancing the introduction Of dairy cat
tie has been solicited and pledged.
These meetings have already begun to
bear fruit, in that many carloads Of
dairy cattle are being shipped in and
distributed to the farmers who are
effuipped to care for them, while other
farmers are being encouraged by the
county agents to grow feed crops and
get ready to step into line in the pro.
cesslon towards better and more pro-
fitable agriculture for North Dakota.

Good Potato Story

A Des Lacs Potato grower, so the
story goes, shipped car Of first class
spuds to Duluth buyer who re-
ported that they arrived in poor shape
and stated he could scarcely get the
freight out of them. The farmer
shipped another car and met with the
same results. He grew suspicious
and went to Duluth, representing to
the buyer that he was in the market
for car of first class potatoes. The
Duluth buyer showed the farmer his
own car Of potatoes which he recon-
mended as A and was surprised
when the farmer told him who he
actually was. The Des Lacs farmer
is said to have returned with check
for 100000 in his pocket.

Governor Elect Nestos to be Inaugu.
rated November %

Governor-Elect r. A. Nestos will,
in all probability, be inaugurated in
Bismarck November 23, the day before
Thanksgiving. The canvassing board
is expected to be through canvassing
the votes by that time and according
to the law, the newly elected officials
must take office as soon as the can
vassing board issues their certificates
Of election.
A large number of Minot friends
and others from northwestern North
Dakota are planning on going to Bis
marck for the inaugural ceremonies.
There is still some talk of a contest
to be brought by the league, but this
is said to be not very probable. 1t
is known that workers are checking
over the lists in each county.
E. R. Sinkler, one of the attorneys
employed by the league stated:
"A check is being made, and after
the check has been completed, and if
there are indications of a lot of H.
legal voters signing the recall
petitions, and also Implications run
ming into hundreds, and people who
did not vote at the 1920 election signing
the petitions, the question of in
functional proceedings will then be
decided"
The extent to which the alleged
frauds have been conducted will also
determine to large extent the ques-
tion whether the contest will be in
situted, Mr.. Sinkler believes. He ex-
poets to leave for Bismarck this eve
ming or tomorrow.
The injunction proposed by the
leaguers would be against the state
canvassing board from canvassing the
votes and also from issuing certifi-
Gates of election to the Independent

Reformers Need Reforming

Near Berthold, N. u. there llVes
farmer who practices preaching,
shouting, yelling, hooting, decrying,
ETC., against the practices of "Big
Biz" and profiteering, yet that same
farmer practices all the things
against which he denounces. We
will give him the assumed name of
Mr.. Red. Another gentleman whose
radicalism is so Russian-like that
we will call him Mr.. Trozky. Mr..
Trozky Of Ward County is so named
because his method Of campaigning
preceding the recent election was to
approach a crowd of men with the
threats, "We have got to beat that
bunch of L. V. As. if we have to take
guns and shoot them."
About the time the recall campaign
opened, Mr.. Trozky went to Mr.. Red
and told him how the local banks were
fighting the farmers program and
was successful in arousing Mr.. Reds
anger. Mr.. Red happened to have a
few hundred dollars in a local bank,
so he went to the bank and with
drew his money, and in doing so the
following dialogue tells tale worth
noting, viz:
Mr.. Red-I want to know how much
money I have in your bank.
Mr.. Banker will look up your ac-
count, but why are you so excited?
Mr.. Red am going to take my
money out of this bank. You fell
lows are fighting the farmers.
Mr.. Banker-1ll give you eight per
cent if you will leave your money in
the bank.
Mr.. Red-You ought to pay twelve
per cent.
Mr.. Banker-What! Pay twelve
per cent and loan it at ten per cent?
Mr.. Red-Some people wsuld be
willing to pay twenty-five per cent if
they could get the money.
Mr.. Red would be willing for farm
ers to pay Is per cent if only HE
could get IL per cent. Mr.. Red voted
for Mr.. Debs last year.

UNITED STATES PROPOSES
TEN YEAR NAVAL HOLIDAY

Washington, Nov. IA ten year
naval holiday in naval construction.
involving tremendous scrapping OF
ships now on the ways or contemplat-
ed by the United States, Great Britain
and Japan was proposed to the con-
ference on the limitation of arma-
ments by Secretary of State Charles
f. Hughes at the opening session to-
day as Americas proposals.
Briefly, the American plan is:
That there Immediately be de-
stroyed by the navies of the three
great powers, 66 capital fighting
ships and total tonnage Of
1,878,O43 tons.
Within three months after MAX
ing an agreement the navies
would consist of designated and
agreed upon ships as follows:
United States, IS; Great Brit
ain, %; Japan, 10.
In tons, this would be: United
States, 50O,65O; Great Britain,
604,45O; Japan, 299,70O.
Requirements would be limited
by an agreed maximum of cap
ital ship tonnage as follows:
United States, 100000 tons;
Great Britain, 100000 tons; Japan
100000 tons.
Subject to the 10 year holiday
limitation capital ships could be
replaced when they are 20 years
old. No replacement ship would
have tonnage Of more than
$4,000
A total tonnage in cruisers, fiotilla
leaders and destroyers for each power
would be fixed as follows:
For the United States, 450,000 tons
for Great Britain, 100000 tons; for
Japan 100000 tons.
The total tonnage for submarines
allowed each power would be as fol-
lows:
For the United States, 45O,OOO tons
for Great Britain, 100000 tons; for
Japan, 27O,OOO tons.
Airplane Carriers Fixed
The total tonnage of airplane car
riers was proposed as follows:
For the United States, $4,000 tons
for Great Britain, $4,000 tons; fol
Japan, $4,000 tons.
In each case it would be provided
that no government whose present
tonnage exceeds the prescribed limit
would be required to scrap such ex.
cess until requirements have begun.
Cruisers II years old could be re.
placed by new construction.
Similarly destroyers, fiotilla leaders
and submarines could be replaced when
12 years old, and airplane carriers
when 20 years old.
The plan appears to be meeting with
favor on the part of England and ia
pan and there are great hopes that
this or some similar plan will be car.
ried out eventually.

rick and Joseph MoMlllen, commission.
erS Of Knox county, and A. D. Rine-
hart, auditor Of Knox county, accord.
Ing to a motion filed In the common
pieas court Of Knox county on Wed.
nesday morning.
The motion is filed in the case of
Ohio ex rel Jospeh H. Meyers VS. the

plant for the court house and Jail
which had been let to the Snow Heat
ing and Plumbing company.
The attorneys state the injunction

were allowed the sum of $3.50 for
bringing the suit and obtaining the in
junction.
In the motion filed Wednesday, the
attorneys allege that the county com

to perform the said orders of the
court.
The matter has been set down for
hearing in common pleas court on Sat
