Land Clearing Clubs
Among Local Farmers

(Plan of organization by A. J.
Schwantes, land. clearing specialist,
University of Minnesota
Throughout Re1trami county much
thought is being given to methods of
clearing land. In some localities it
has been found that greater and more
economical progress can be made by
several farmers working together a
few days on each mans farm. The
following is an outline of the organi-
zation and. conducting of these
"Land' Clearing clubs as they are
called. ~ l.. -.

other matters in a business-like man

The crew should be organized as
follows: One man has charge of the
blasting. He will be responsible for
doing this work and will have one or
two helpers. Three men will run the
stump puller, that is, one man driv-
ing the team and two men out in
the field hitching onto the stumps.
One of these three will be in charge.
Two or three men will follow the
puller with team, decking chain,
stoneboat, ETC., piling and burning:
Three men will be required on the
stump puller continuously and the
total amount Of work done will prob
ably be limited by the capacity Of the
puller. The five remaining men will
do blasting and piling. Very often

In First Message to Congress
President Urges Declaration
49, of Peace at Once +
WOULD LOWER TAKES
-, --,---~>.- AND RETAIL PRICES
Declares League of Nations
Is Dead but Believes IN
Peace Association
(By United Press)

Washington, April 12.-(By Ray
mond Clapper)-Congress should
adopt a resolution declaring peace
with Germany without further delay,
President Harding recommended in
his, first message to congress today.
Such action could in no sense be: con-
strued as the decision of the allies.
He made plain his belief. that the
league of nations is dead. }&.> 49,.
Measures to lower taxes and lower
retail prices were the outstanding
features Of his recommendation for
dealing with domestic problems. The
peace resolution, Harding explained,
should undertake to do no more than
declare a state Of peace, and must
put no difficulties in the way Of col
lection of PREPARATIONS or the restora-
ton of war-torn Europe. Turning
his back completely on the league of
nations, the executive reaffirmed his
allegiance to the idea of world as
OF nations. =,
But this problem must be deliber-
ately considered, he added, and he
promised to consult with the, senate
when he feels there is time to act.
"In the existing league of nations,
world government, its super-powers,
this republic will have no part" he
said. There can be no misinterpre-
tation and there is no betrayal Of the
deliberate explanation of the people
in the recent election. - sssj
! "In rejecting the league" he said,
later in his address, eve make no
surrender Of our hope and aim for an
association to promote peace in which
we would heartily join y, ,4a,sst
Turning to the question {. imme-
date. peace, the president said that
the United States alone of the allies
and associated powers continues in q
technical state of war.
'"This anomalous condition ought
not to be permitted to continue" he
said. ITO establish a technical state
of peace without further delay, we
should approve declaratory resolu-
ton by congress to that effect with
qualifications, essential to protect all
our rights" ,-.
Harding argued against the over
doing in the resolutions a declara-
ton of future policies toward Europe.
Such declaration coming from con-
gress would be an assumption Of the
functions conferred on the execu-
tive. President Harding laid en-
phasis upon domestic problems.
"There is no more pressing prob
lems," he said, than to construct ma
tional expenses to national income
and at the same time lift the burden
of war taxes. sr-.
Economy is to be the outstanding
and impelling problem in both legis-
lations and administrations" he in
sisted.
Creation of department of pub
lie welfare was declared for by Har-
ding in accordance with his campaign
pledge. He called for expansion Of
the merchant marine, up-building Of
radio communication, cooperation Of
the state government in maintaining
as well as building of good roads,
creationsof budget system, protec-
tive tariff, encouragement of COM
mercial as well as military evasion,
an adequate navy, and steps to halt
lynching, The presidents message
was 1000 words in length. ;,-,sJcs.

Taking Desperate Chances.

1t is true that many contract severe
colds and recover from them without
taking any precaution or treatment,
and a knowledge of this fact leads
others to take their chances instead
of giving their colds the needed at
tention. 1t should be borne in mind
that every cold weakens the lungs,
lowers the vitality. makes the system
less able TO withstand each succeed
ing attack and paves the way for the
more serious diseases. Can you af-
ford to take such desperate chances

famous for its cures of bad colds may
