Too Late For Last Week.
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1921-04-28

1t was with considerable surprise
Saturday morning that the people of
Miuot learned that recall petitions
we've being circulated for the recall
M W. n. Smart, who had assumed
his duties as president of the city
commission, and for G. d. Shaft,
member of the city commission.
No one seems to know just who
started the recall petitions, though
quite number of them were in cir
culation Saturday. No one seems to
WANT tn accept the responsibility for
originating the petitions. The Inde-
pendent understands that in order to
institute recall election, it will re-
ouire that the petitions be signed by
at least 30 per cent Of the total num-
her of votes cast at the recent cleo
tioa. It will be necessary therefore
to secure approximately LOO sigma
lures.
The circulation of the petitions fol-
lowed closely upon the meeting of
the city commission last Thursday
night, and it is believed that they are
the result of dissatisfaction over
some of the appointments which were
made, although this is not the reason
given in the petitions.
The independent was informed
Wednesday that the petitions had
been signed by between 900 and 1000
and it this is the case, there is little
question but what the recall election
will be held.
Should either member of the COM
mission he recalled. it is said this
would result in reorganization OF
the board, in which event an OPP
portunity would be given to replace
any of the employees not desired.
Otherwise, the appointments have
when this has been done, an appointee
cannot be displaced without cause.
1t is said there may be some ques-
ton as to the legality of the appoint
nents last Thursday night, inasmuch
as President Smart and Commission
er Gross had not filed their bonds
with the county judge at that time.
With the present personnel Of the
commission, the same appointments
could still be made at some subse-
quent meeting.
TIE petitions follow:

electors of the city of Minot and en-
titled to vote for a successor to the

The recall petition against Com

and laws of North Dakota relating to
gambling. He, himself, has violated
the gambling ordinances and laws
more than so times during the past II
months, having participated in gamb-
ling rooms and places within said city,
in open violation of law. He is an
habitual gambler. Said commission
err is especially incompetent to trans
act the duties of his office for the
further reason that he is so deaf and
hard of hearing that he is unable to
hear and know what business is being
transacted at the meeting of the city
commission.

President Smart on Recall Petitions

President Smart on Recall Petitions
President W. M. Smart makes the
following statement concerning the
recall:
understand that a petition is be-
ing circulated asking that be re-
called as president of the city COM
mission. l believe that the people
of Minot are fair minded and reason
able opportunity to make good on my
promises made them before election.
A public official is entitled to this.
When have been given a fair chance
to make good, then l would certainly
welcome an opportunity to have the
people pass on my work.
At the first business meeting of the
city commission we cut off about $500
month on the city pay roll, and fur
Their cuts running from $500 to $500

ployes and useless expenses and this

some employees had to lose their jobs

and the petitions to recall me, UNI
derstand, are to be found in the Off
ces of some of these disappointed en-
ployes.
Before my election promised the
people of Minot that l would give
them an honest, efficient administra-
ton based on right economy, elimina-
ton of all graft and the enforcement
of the laws against all offenders. This
is my program, and we have already
made substantial Roadway in carry
ing it out. No threats or recall will
drive me away from this purpose.
As near as l can find out, the en-
ployes who lost their jobs are the
only ones interested in the recall pc
tiions. believe that the great ma
jority Of my opponents in the recent
election are too good sports to be
connected with any deal of this kind.
Shaft Offers $4,000 For Evidence
Commissioner G. D. Shaft gave the
following statement to The News this
afternoon.

my standard as a man. However, /

one who will prove he saw me in

city in North Dakota. Outside of a
social game in the lodge rooms and
with members, my recreation in that
line is nil.
GAS to my hearing. it does not
effect my eyesight or judgment and
my experience on the board for two
years is sufficient to satisfy my
friends. I have proof to show that
l was told that unless l voted for GER
tain candidates I would be recalled
in less than two weeks. We shall see.

State, Is. Selling Tractors

George State, manager Of the Sco-
field Implement Co., returned Friday
from q trip through the eastern Sec
ton of the state in the interest of
the Townsend tractor for which his
firm holds the state agency. George
says the demand for tractors in the
Red River Valley is exceptionally
good. He disposed of several ma
chimes during his itinerary. The new
Townsend tractor is a great improve
ment over the old design, many new
features having been incorporated in
its construction. George is very en-
thusiastic when speaking of the new
model and cites several instances
where users have employed this make
of tractors for two seasons without
one cent being spent for repair parts.
The new tractors is particularly eco
nomical in it's consumption of oil:

HUGE DRIVE LAUNCHED TO RID
STATE OF WEEDS
Especial Correspondence

Grand Forks, Apr. 23.-Bringing
into active cooperation all of the
agencies interested in better agri-
culture for North Dakota, .the Red
River Valley Sweet Clover Growers
Exchange has launched a huge drive
to rid the state of all noxious weeds.
Sow thistle, quack grass and Canada
thistle, declares the Exchange, must
leave the state because farming will
continue to be Improbable as long
as these pests are allowed to remain.
Cooperating with the exchange in
this war on weeds is the North Da
kota Bankers Association, through
it's committee on agriculture, the Ag1
ricultural Extension Service, through
it's county agents, the Farm
Bureau Federation, through it's coun-
ty units, the various commercial
clubs, and the press of the state.
"Get rid of the weeds recommends
the Exchange. "Start Sweet Clover
to growing. Fence in the land and
put livestock on it. Your fields need
a change and rest. The combination
of sweet clover and livestock will
drive out the weeds, put fertility in
to the soil and make grain growing
again productive"
That the state is responding to this
program for increased prosperity is
indicated by the fact that the 1920
sweet clover census in North Dakota
is reported at 67,242 acres, accord
ing to the State Crop Reporting Serv-
ice. And recent figures, as indicated
by the amount of seed that has been
distributed through the Red River
Valley Sweet Clover Growers Ex-
change and other agencies show that
the increase in sweet clover acreage
for 1921 will more than treble the
1920 acreage.
The drive, which was begun in
Grand Forks county this week, is now
spreading throughout the state. Three
live ?wire meetings, held this week in
Grand Forks county, met with the
hearty approval Of the farmers of
that county. Record-breaking at
tendance at all the meetings accom-
panied by signed pledges to eradi-
cate weeds, and to grow sweet clover
and to start in the livestock game,
all point to the changes which are
to come in North Dakota's agricul-
ture.
The Red River Valley Clover Crow
ers' Exchange, which has distributed
over 1000 pounds Of its seed to
date, is now following up its work,
and encouraging the farmers Of the
state to begin to think in terms Of
livestock and livestock products. It
is recommending, therefore, the ex-
tensive use of sweet clover, not for
seed production but for hay and past
ure purposes, and for driving out the
weeds, which are so harmful to grain
growing.

Editorial

We believe it to be our duty to inform our friends and customers - the buying public of Phoenix, Maricopa County and Arizona-as far as lies in our power the true, state of affairs in the wholesale markets.
 We candidly believe that, in the greater number of instances, the bottom has been reached in low prices Some few items may yet show further decline but we be- Geve that doubtful. We do know that number of commodities have already ad- vanced in price from the lowest levels of few weeks ago, with every prospect for a still further advance. Many items are already scarce and hard to find. Manu- factured goods are not in great abun- dance, and as the season advances the scarcity will be still more apparent. We believe in all sincerity that now is good time to buy, to purchase especially your needfuls, your every day wants and re- quirements. We believe this and are pur- suing this policy in the purchase of our own immediate stocks.
 We want also to take this opportunity to assure you, one and all, should any further breaks occur in the dry goods market, that The Boston Store - your store-will be the first one to give you the advantage of any revision of prices.
 We are, Yours respectfully,

HOW FAR CAN HOUSE
 FLY FLY? TESTS ARE J NOW ON TO FIND OUT

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.LThe lowly house fly, which for years has been considered only as distributor of germs, has now entered into a new role. The Bureau of Entom- ology, United States Department of Agriculture, has been conducting experiments which show. that the house fly not uncommonly makes a journey of five to six miles in the space of twenty four hours.
 Fly tests were conducted in north ern Texas, where approximately 234,00 flies of many different spec ies were trapped, then dusted with finely powered red chalk, and lib- erated. Fly traps baited with food highly relished by the flies were placed at measured intervals in all directions from the point of release. By means of these secondary traps it was possible to determine the direc- tion and flight of different species of flies.
 The tests showed that the flies, after regaining their freedom, would travel distances up to 1000 feet in a few minutes. The screwworm fly evidenced it's power to cover a half mile in three hours, while the black Dlowf1y travelled anywhere from half mile to eleven miles during the first two days release. The house fly covered over six miles in less than twenty-four hours. Observa- tions at the Rebecca Ligh School, off the coast of Florida, seemed to show that flies come down the wind from Cuba( ninety-five miles distant) i, and even from Key Vest. Fla, forty six miles away. The maximum dis tance travelled by the house fly in these experiments was 1914 miles. The tests proved that the injur- ious forms of fly life were not dis tributed eli any large scale by ar- tifiicial means but rather that many of the far, flying species showed marked migratory habits.
