RUSSIAN TRADE

Senator France, who recently re.
turned from Russia denies the charge
that has been so frequently made
that he favors recognition of the
Russian government.
On the other hand, the Senator de-
clares that he has urged upon the
Secretary of State the Importance of
sending a commission to Russia to
investigate conditions and to discuss
with the defacto government ques-
lions of the possible difference be-
tween the two countries.
In his opinion the time is oppor-
tune to begin negotiations with Rus
STA with the view to helping her peo-
pie solve the problems concerning,
them, and to open up the markets
of Russia to American goods.
Senator France spent some months
in Russia, during which time he made
careful study of conditions, and like
most other men who have been there
in recent months, recognizes the pos
sibility for the utilization of COM
modities for which there is no mar
ket at present in this country.
In the course of his statement set
ting forth his interest and his reason
for advocating the appointment of
a commission to Russia, he says:
'My interest in the rehabilitation
of Europe has been prompted by my
interest in the welfare of the farm
ers, of the workers and of the bust
ness men of America. We are suf-
fering here an agricultural, industri-
al and financial depression which is
wholly unnecessary, and which is due
the fact that we are unable to sell
our surplus food stuffs and manu-
featured articles to Europe. Dur
ing the first ten months of 1920 our
exports were in round numbers &c.
300, 000, 200, while in the same per-
cd of 1921 they were approximately
$1,000, 000, 900.
Il call attention to the fact that
his sum of $3,0OO,0 600, 900 would
lave been more than sufficient to paw
100000 men $40 a month for ten
months. Our exports have fallen off
While Europe requires our goods in
Quantities perhaps as great as those
equired during the period of the /
var. Our farmers have on hand !

LEAF WILLOW
GOOD FOR WINDBREAK

The great value of trees, CON
sidered either as ornaments or wind
brakes, makes the experience of H.
w. Lowers with laurel leaf willows
worth recounting. Mr.. Lowers has a
farm 17h miles north of here. In
1917 he bought 500 laurel leaf will
lows about two feet tall from the
nursery at Valley City, N. D., and
put them out in new breaking which
he had thoroughly disked. All but
nine of the trees grew and some of
them have now reached a height of
eight feet or nor They were plant
ed with the intention of forming a
windbreak in two rows ten feet apart
and only three feet apart in the rows.
The trees have not been trimmed
and so have grown in bushy form.
If planted farther apart and trimmed
into shape they would have doubt
less grown into trees. Mr.. Lowers
says that the important thing about
these laurel leaf willows is that they
thrive here in spite of the dryest sea-
son and do not kill down in winter.
They look like one kind of a tree
that will prove q success in this eli
mate, which should entitle them to
the consideration of people intend
ing to plant windbreaks around thels
buildings.
Mr.. Lowers says that his willows
are in need of trimming and he ex-
poets to cut off enough branches to
make thousands of cuttings, and if
he finds evidence of a demand for
these cuttings at a low price he will
arrange to supply those wanting
them. He has tried out the growing
qualities of slips from these willows
and is confident that they will start
from slips when properly planted.
When he planted his slips he did it
without knowledge of the proper
method and left too much above the
for the part hat was in the
ground, with the result that some
lived and grew and some died. Since
then he has written to competent
authorities concerning the
planting of slips from the laurel leaf
and they have told him that
The slips should be cut rather short,
allowing for two buds to be placed
the ground and two above.
A tree, even a willow, that will
withstand the dry seasons that some
lines occur here, is surely something
value to this section and this
story of Mr.. Lowers experience is
published to call the attention of
who may be interested in find

great supplies of wheat, corn, cotton
and wool, while millions of people In
Europe face starvation and disease
or death from exposure to the cruel
blasts of winter unprotected by the
proper clothing. Our shoe factories
are marking time while millions in
Europe must walk the winter SHOWS
unshod. Many of our machinists, our
steel workers, are idle. Our railroad
equipment, factories, all lines of in
dustry are running but a portion of
the time, while Russia needs machin-
cry, steel products, railroad equip
ment, tools and almost every con-
ceivable manufactured article. Am
erica should have an opportunity of
supplying this need for her W in
terest and for the sake of humanity.
"The policy of sending a commits
sion to Russia is not a radical policy.
1t is one conceived for the very pur-
pose of looking after u trade in
t%erests, as the British, as the Italians,
as the Germans, as the Chinese and
as other countries are looking after
theirs in Russia. We have been re-
lying entirely upon information fur
nished us by other countries con-
corning Russia, whereas undoubtedly
those countries have been and are in
terested in keeping US alienated from
the Russian people and separated
from the great Russian markets"
1t is true that so long as this coun-
try relies upon information furnished
it by other nations for the determine
ton of its trade policy it will re-
in the dark.
The United States is as capable as
any other nation of investigating con-
ditions in Russia, and unless it sends
its own representatives to that coun-
Try it is not likely to learn very much
about it. The other nations will tell
is just what they want US to know,
which is nothing.

"JOHN" is CHAINED

John Cook was given a very pleas
ant surprise party last Monday even
ing on the occasion of his birthday.
Unknown to Mr.. Cook, Mrs. Cook in
yited the members of the volley ball
club for supper, and their arrival was
the announcement of the surprise.
After a delightful supper Rev. Nc
Ivor. in behalf of the volley bali play
ers, presented Mr.. Cook with a hand
some gold watch chain. Mr.. Cook
responded to Mr.. McIvor's speech
with thanks, after which H. A. Scho-
ening gave a much enjoyed talk on
the pleasure of the occasion. Fol-
lowing the supper Rev. McIvor was
called away by another engagement.
The latter part of the evening was
spent in playing cards, and j.. b.
Switzer succeeded in carrying off the
head prize, a deck of cards, while
Geo. Barwise received a corncob pipe
to console him for receiving the
smallest number of punches. All
those present voted the evening a
most enjoyable one and hoped they
would be counted in when "Sam'' and
"Bill's" turns come.

The Day We Celebrate.

AS we 60 to press "wednesday,
June 14), the annual celebration
conmemorating the Fifty-fourth
anniversary of the settlement of
White Earth reservation BY the
Chippewas is we'll under way. The
weather promises to be favorable
and Judging from the enormous
crowds already in evidence the
celebration this year promises to
rival any ever held here. As
usual certain element has been
at work in an endeavor to shift the
scene of festivities to other points
than White Earth. This year an
effort was made to get the Indians,
both local and those of visiting
tribes, to 90 to Naytahwaush to
celebrate, but from all appearances
it has not met with much success,
for there are large number of
Indians on the grounds here who
participate in the big Indian dance
and keep the crowds interested.
As the first day of the celebra-
ton falls on our press day it is
impossible for US to give an &C.
count of the festivities in this
weeks issue, however a full &C
count of the celebration will be
given next week.
