MORE HELP IS NEEDED TO FIGHT
THE |. Y. A. recall ELECTION

The farmers Of North Dakota have
responded nobly to the call Of the
State Executive Committee for cam
paign contributions and for voluntary
renewal Of membership and payments
of post-dated or past due checks.
But the money must be sent to
Headquarters faster. It must not be
held in the hands of local officers or
workers or banked to the credit of
county organizations. The members Of
the newly elected State Executive
Executive Committee of North Dakota
feel that they are entitled to the con-
fidence and cooperation Of every Lea
que member of the state and in max
ing this call for contributions and
membership renewals they feel that
their appeal should be met with a
quick response on the part of all Lea
guers.
The State Committee has recently
taken over the control of the Fargo
Courier News and the North Dakota
Leader. The operation Of these two
publications has formerly been hand
led from the national office in Min
neapolis and now that the State Com
mittee has taken them over in the
name Of the League organization in
North Dakota, it is up to sall loyal
North Dakota Leaguers to back up
their Committee with funds SO that
the Committee may be able to clean
up the obligations against these pa
pers, as well as the various outstand-
ing obligations incurred during the
last campaign.
It is the plan Of the Committee to
take care Of the most pressing OBJ
legations as they arise and to clean
up the various county bills at the
earliest possible moment. They feel
that the League should enter the ap-
preaching Recall Compaign free OF
all Indebtedness. 3
There are a number Of ways IN
which YOU can help YOUR newly
elected State Executive Committee IN
successfully carrying out their plans:
If you are League member ana
have paid your dues with post-dated
check not yet due, try and pay all or
part Of your membership fees now
and YOUR check will either be returned
to YOU or the partial payment en-
dorsed thereon.
If you gave post-dated check iof
YOUR membership and were not able
ia nav It on the due date, kindly cry
and arrange to pay all or part at this

MORE ABOUT HATFIELD

ceived by A. H. White in regard to
Hatfield the rain maker.
Mr.. A. H. White,
Kramer, N. D.
Dear Mr.. White:
Carrying further your correspond
ence with regard to Iain-making by
one Hatfield of California, in order
that might give the best available
information and opinion of those who
are especially interested in all matters
pertaining to weather service, / re-
quested a statement from C. F. Mar
vim, Chief of the Weather Bureau
with regard to what had been accom-
plished by Mr.. Hatfield in California
and for your information l am en-
closing copy of his letter to me un-
der date of April first. ....@
Sincerely yours,
=. F. Ladd.
u. S. Department Of Agriculture.
Weather Bureau
..e Washington.
..> April /, 1921.
HON. II. r. LaOQ, -.
United States Senate.
Dear Senator Ladd:
have received your letter of March
20, inclosing a newspaper clipping
relative to the rainmaking claims Of
Mr.. Hatfield, and asking for my COM
ments regarding the matter.
In answer permit me to say that
a gerat many schemes for the artific-
ial production Of rain have been pro-
posed and many of them have been
submitted to the Weather Bureau, but
the most elemetary considerations of
physics, chemistry and simple calcu-
lations suffice to convince scientists
that these schemes are wholly imprac-
ticable.
Mr.. Hatfield has never, $50 far as
we know, revealed his scheme. But it
is practically certain that it is quite
as fallacious as any Of the numerous
cases that have been offered. This
statement is based on what is known
Of the causes Of precipitation and the
amounts Of energy involved. No reput-
able scientist acquainted with the laws
and phenomena Of evaporation and
condensation pretends to offer any
reason leading US to expect that rain
can be artifically produced on any con-
siderable scale under dry or droughty
conditions.
If any rain has seemed to fall in q
region in which and at time when,
MI. Hatfield has conducted his opera
tions, we are absolutely certain that
that rain was the result entirely Of ma
tural, and not artificial, means. We
are equally certain that Mr.. Hatfield
has never produced any rainfall which
would not have occurred just as It
did If he and his apparatus had been
thousands Of miles remote.
/ think you will recognize from the
foregoing that my convictions are
conclusive, and I hope they will fully
answer your inquiry.
Respectfully,
Signed G. r. Marvin,
Chief 81 Bureau.

AAMODTISM

Where do the manufacturers get
the argument that higher priced
wool means high priced clothes when
about one dollar added to the price
of a suit of clothes amounts to about
II cents more per pound for wool?
So when several dollars are added to
the price of a suit of clothes it does
not necessarily mean that it's due to
any increased amount of cash that
winds is way into the growers pocket.
There were 7,241, 900 fewer sheep
in the United States and $1,000 fewer
in North Dakota on Jan. 1st, 1921
than on Jan 1st 1910. What's the
matter, are the sheep men getting
cold feet?
Agriculture is the very foundation
of our existance. Commerce and man.
ufacture are the wall and roof. If the
foundation crumbles, down comes the
rest of the building.
Plant more corn; Let's double last
years acreage. Maybe your stock
didn't eat up all your corn this winter
but then remember that we can't look
for such a winter again in year OF
Sundays. .#@
Potato growers association have
been organized at Westhope, Max
bass and Newburg. A carload of seed
potatoes, including 800 bushels OF
certified seed has been purchased by
the Westhope association. $50 bushels
of certified seed have been purchased
for Newburg. Just keep your eyes on
these points this summer.
A Nebraska County Agent states
that 219 acres planted to Northern
grown seed potatoes produced 27,S7b
bushels, whereas a like acreage
planted to Nebraska grown seed pro-
duced 1896 bushels. This should be
good argument in favor Of Bottineau
County Potato Growers making It
point to raise the very best and cater
to the Southern Seed trade.
Approximately 1000 pounds Of ar
senic is now en- route Bottineau. Arc
we going to start poisoning the hop
pers as soon as they appear or wait
till they've got the crop and then start
cussing the country?

BOOKS

Robert Lansing's long awaited
book on the peace conference and
mis- break with President Wilson
is announced for publication on
March 25 by Houghton Miffiin Com
pany under the title, ''The Peace
Negotiations: A Personal Narratives"
The former Secretary of State
has based the book on his day-by-
day diary. 1t Is a chronicle OF
facts covering the entire peace
conference and giving the inside
story of the League of Nations,
the Shantung affair, the mandate
question, the treaty with France,
the Bullitt affair, etc.
OF particular interest is Mr..
Lansing's account of his differ
ences with the President that
eliminated in the famous letter of
Mr.. Wilson's asking for an op-
portunity to select Secretary of
State whose mind would more
willingly go along with mine"
This book, 1t is said, will show
that the real divergence occurred
at Paris long before the final
dramatic break. And the fact
that the publication has been
withheld until Woodrow Wilson "a
private citizen is taken to fore
shadow frank and Illuminating
criticism of the Presidential policies."

count Of the peace conference and
Of what the League of Nations
really means, Is expected to play

ing Senate fight on the treaty, and
official Washington Is said to be
awaiting it's publication with de-
cided interest.
Mr.. Lansing has also prepared
character sketches of the. Big
Four at the peace conferences
which will be serialized in a pop
ular magazine Immediately after
the 4th of March, 1921, but Mr..
Lansing's personal narrative Of the
peace conference will not be Sc
rialized in advance of book pub
lication.

Care of the

BY Brice Belden, M. ID.

The walls and woodwork should be
cleaned with a damp cloth. As much
direct sunlight as possible should be
let into the room.
After the sick person has been
brought in, II should be assumed
that everything carried into the
room becomes infected, and must be
In some way disinfected or else de-
stroyed. This, OF course. includes
all dishes and other eating utensils,

These must be disinfected before

In the same way. any toys which
may have been used by small pa
tient, or vases which have been used
in decorating the room, or toilet

infected. IL this Is Impractical, they
must be destroyed. All food which
the patient has not used should be
tInned and should not be allowed
TO stand In the sick room.
The room should be kept always
at a temperature OF 20 degrees. anil
there should be a Thermometer In

SAILS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR;
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

am seventeen years old and go
to school. and have many friends
there. Last summer l met a boy
friend and we seemed to care a
good deal for each other, but
never saw him often at that time
as he had a girl. He goes to the
same school as 1 40 and so does his
girl
was going to a party and had to
take some one, so she told me to
take him tbut / hesitated to do
this). However, l took him to the
next party and we had a wonderful
time.
She got peeved and gave him his
, ring. He asked to take me to
movie and 1 have gone out with him
good many times. One OF the
times l went out with him we saw
her. The next day she would not
speak to me. but now she is always
near me.
This 10 what hurts me. She goes
around and tells everyone that /
am vamping her fellow and am try
ing to cut her out. do not think /
am, because he has asked to come
to see mo, take me out and wait for
him at school. / do not think | am
doing anything wrong. as they do
not go together any longer. The
reason ] have gone out with him
and permitted him to come see me

him. Ho comes to see me regularly,
and now ! don't care to have any
