FARMERS GO TO
WASHINGTON

Two North Dakota farmers, the
members of the state railroad com
mission, and Rev. E. Willard, farm
economist at the Agricultural College
will leave for Washington, D. G., Au-
gust II to present evidence before the
congressional committee on freight
rates at it's hearing August 18th. G.
w. Hoffman, president of the Penn
bina County Farm Bureau has been Sc
lected to be one Of the farmer repre-
sentatives.
That congress plans action on the
increased freight rates, which are
working a serious hardship on farm
er shippers, is suggested by the &C
tivity Of the congressional committee,
which is assembling widespread rep
resentative evidence on the question.
Cost data showing that farming has
been unprifitable in the last few years,
and that the increased freight rates
add to the large deficit of the farm
ers will be presented by the North
Dakota delegation. Supplementary to
the data on costs of production which
has been assembled by the department
of farm management, for presentation
as evidence at the hearing, under the
direction of Mr.. Willard, the railroad
commission has requested that two
farmers accompany the party with
their records and accounts. Their evil
dence consisting of their own costs of
production will be used to corroborate
the data assembled by the department
at the Agricultural College.
"Costs of production for 1921 are
MT as high as they were during 1920
I'D 1919" said Mr.. Willard today,
"but indications are that prices will
b. lower, and that there is very little
possibility that the average farmer in
the state will come out even this year.

work during the past two years"

PRESENT SESSION OF STATE LEGISLATURE TO
KNOCK OUT BOOZE.
State Enforcement of Dry Laws Almost Certain To Be
Adopted BY Assembly This Month.

Probably the most absorbing mat
ter before our state legislature a
present is the contemplated action OF
state DRY Law"
Bills have been introduced. il
large numbers, to handle this aques-
ton. 1t has only been by a series oi
compromises between the two oppos
ing factions, the Drys and the Vets
that a bill has finally been whipped
into shape that seems to satisfy the
Drys and receive the least objection
from the Wet side of the house
According to some Of the local
parish officials, the bill as it now
stands is almost certain of passage
1t being conceded even by the most
determined liquor men that some ac-
ton must be taken to curb the pre-
sent open and fragrant violations of
the Federal law.
If passed in its present form, the
state prohibition bill will contain
certain provisions intended to break
up the making and selling of liquor,
minimum fine of $500 being fixed
as penalty for violation of the law,
with possible fines up to 81 900 for
each offense.
The home brewer will be protected
in his manufacture of liquor from
native fruits. for personal use only,
which eliminates one of the most OBJ
jectionable features of the Federal
law.
The sacredness of the private
home also receives protection in the
proposed state law, by making it ne
cessary for an officer to have an af-
fadavit sworn to by two witnesses in
a court of proper jurisdiction, before
a home may be entered for the pur-
pose of search or seizure.
Enforcement of the state prohibi-
tion laws will be placed directly in
the hands of local municipal and par
ish officers, which will make it very
easy of putting into effect, as it is
impossible, especially in the smaller
communities, for person to make
or sell liquor without it becoming
known almost at once.
Besides a fine of from $500 to
$1,000, there will very likely also be
imposed a Jail sentence, of from 10
to 80 days
The disposal of the funds derived
from the fines has received great
deal of discussion, the first drafts of
the bill providing for an equal divi-

out and finding the chap that has the
claim and by telling him of the
