belt has been moving north and west
for many years and this movement
has taken the belt through North Da-
kota. We are now on the edge of it
and must plan on other products to
make our agriculture profitable. The
experience of several farmers in the
county has shown the consistent rails
ing of potatoes to be an almost GER
tain source of profit to the farmer.
There are potato failures, the same
as in any other line, but an average
over term Of years shows this crop
to be a consistent income producer.
Hogs, considered on basis of year
ly average for term of years, are
a profitable income producer, and,
compared with other live stock, yield
quick returns. For steady income
the dairy COW is a mighty safe bet,
the better the grade Of cow the SAT-
err the bet. Times of financial de-
preston are felt the least in coun-
ties that have dairy cows on every
farm as has been proven in the past
year. While many people bemoan the
fact that wheat cannot be depended
on to pay the expense involved in it's
raising, this fact will really work to
our benefit and will make North Da-
kota, and particularly Barnes coun-
ty, one of the greatest agricultural
sections in the union in prosperity
providing we have learned the lesson
which the past few years have placed
before US.

EDITORIAL


A. A. Liederbach is back from Cal
ifornia and is now looking after the
campaign for control of the league
forces and the Courier-N) ews. He
claims that out of 300 delegates elect
ed in the state for the league state
convention to be held in the near fu-
ture only two of them are for the
Townley balance of power plan. We
look for a real lively time when the
clans assemble at that state conven-
ton with Mr.. Townley and Mr..
Liederbach the outstanding features
of the big show. Whichever way the
convention decides there is sure to
be a big split in the ranks. The eau
cuses were not attended by the num-
Der they used to be and the farmers
have not the same interest they used
to take before their own league pap
er commenced to tel, them the truth.
A. C. Townley, head of the nonpar-
tisan league, at meeting held in
jamestown couple of days ago, told
about forty farmers that all he want
ed the North Dakota leaguers to do
was stay out Of the race for three
major offices, those of United States
senator, governor, and attorney gen.
eral, he told those present. The meet
ing had been called for the purpose
of discussing the balance of power.

elements into fighting us which we
will if we put a full ticket into the
field, we should put the politicians in
a position where they will come to us
and seek our favor" said Mr.. Town.
lev in the course of his talk. "Then
when they come to ask our support
they will not heap abuse on US but
will talk we'll of US. The various cam
didates will vie with each other in
lauding US in order to get our vote.
In this way we will get our enemies
to talk good Of US and our program
Mr.. Townley bases his plan on the
proposition that for the League in
North Dakota to put up a full ticket
at this time will mean the loss Of all

said he. "Some say we lost ground

RATIFICATION OF
FOUR POWER PACT
URGED BY LODGE
Senator Lodge Feels That Acceptance
Of Four Power Pact Is Only Means
of Ending Anglo-Japanese Alliance.

Senator Lodge Feels That Acceptance
Of Four Power Pact Is Only Means
of Ending Anglo-Japanese Alliance.
Washington, March 8. - Senator
Lodge today declared the Senate must
choose between the four power paci-
fic treaty with naval limitation and
peace or renewal of the Anglo-Jap-
anese alliance, unlimited naval COM
petition and possibly war.
In speech urging ratification of
the four power pacific pact, Lodge
feared it's acceptance is the only
means of ending the Anglo-Japanese
alliance and of making possible the
naval holiday provided for in the
treaty. Defeat Of the treaty, Lodge
said, would mean a failure of the
arms conference. He left the infer
ence that the United States could not
ratify the naval limitations treaty if
the four power pact were not approx
ed because the Anglo~Japanese ALI
ance then would confront reduced
American navy. The treaty, Lodge
said, substitutes "the assurance Of
peace for the arrangement and calcu-
lations Of war;" At the same time
it keeps the United States clear of all
alliances of any sort which are in
their very nature breeders Of war and
which always have hidden behind
them penalties and force. Lodge de-
MED that the past imposes on the
United States any obligations except
to meet with other signatories and
consult in case Of any controversy
arising or in case of aggression by
some outside power not signatory.

decapitated was picked up. Police re-

lances were rushed to the scene. The
fire was practically out at $3.50. Fire
men were still searching the ruins
for victims today.

books and in operation now. And the
program is what we started out to
put across. As far as the rank and
file of the Nonpartisan League is con-
cerned, we do not care for offices.
We want the program put into oper-
alton and we do not care who does it
as long as it is done. l think that
we can fix it so that we can make the
politicians carry out our wishes: In
that way we would reach our goal,
the industrial program, with great
deal less responsibility and at very
greatly reduced expense. Times are
hard; so hard that many of our men,
bers are we'll nigh unable to get the
accessories Of life. Where are We 60
ing to get the money for another cam
paign under these circumstances"
Mr.. Townley declared that this bal
ance of power proposition is not a
new idea with him and that he has
had this tucked away in his mind for
three years. 1t does not seem to us
that the proposition meets with very
much favor with the average Lacquer
When they come to look into this
stuff of not having anything to do
with the election of a United States
senator, or governor, or attorney
general. He must have an ak to
grind, particularly with regards to
the senator. He is altogether too
friendly with McCumber and McKen-
zie and his proposition will cause
many faithful leaguers to stand up
and look askance at the stand this
man, who has been the head of the
greatest political upheaval this state
ever saw, and cause them to wonder
where it will all lead to. In our mod
est opinion it is the bunk of busy
brain-with the brain located in
Washington, D. C.
The leaders of the democratic par:
ty are buslly engaged these days tell
ing the country what dismal failure
the Harding administration has been
the first year. Coming into power
under the conditions left by eight
years of democratic misrule Mr.. Hard
ing has not had bed of roses in try
ing to untangle the perplexing prob
lens of state affairs. The country
during the war went into debt about
twenty odd billions of dollars and the
present administration is now trying
to solve ways and means to lower
taxation and lessen the burdens of
the people as we'll as paying our hon.

creased business and depression in

farm circles it is mighty hard thing
to do. However, there is one great
big achievement the democratic par
ty did-it got itself returned to pow
err under the slogan Of che kept us
out of war;. You all know the rest.
1t is hardly the right, time for the
democrats to begin heaving any
bricks. But seeing that the congress
sonal elections are coming on they
must do something to stir up the
country. We suggest as slogan
"McAdoo, or how he kept up freight
and express rates." This would be
real catchy.
The warm weather of the past few
days has melted large part of the
heavy snow in the streets and cars
are beginning to be out again. The
fields are beginning to show bare
spots, the snow being practically
gone on plowed land, and people are
starting to plan the spring work.
The feeling that North Dakota will
have to relinquish her claims to being
the greatest wheat region in the
world is gaining Roadway and farm
ers are turning their thoughts, not
toward a large wheat acreage, but to
greater diversification in their farm
operations. The repeated wheat fail
ures have resulted in greater inter-
est in dairy products and the average
farmer is not trying to plan on in
creasing his wheat acreage but to
increase his acreage of feed and
roughage, RELOCATING the raising of
wheat, as much as possible, to the po-
sition of being side line. When the
farmers of the county are able to put
these plans into full operation
Barnes county will be one of the rich
est agricultural counties in the west.
No better farm land exists anywhere
than we have here and it only re-
quires the farming methods of old
err settled communities to make our
land yield returns commensurate with
the high land prices in other states.
Every wheat raising state has gone
through the same experience. Mime
sofa was formerly one Of the big
gest wheat producing states in the
wheat belt but rust began to injure
their crops, becoming worse every
year, until wheat crop was too un-
certain to venture any money or la
Dor on. They then turned to dairy
products, beef, hogs and potatoes
and now have one of the richest ag-
ricultural states in the union. Iowa
had the same experience. The wheat
