HEARINGS ON
RURALCREDITS
NEARING END!
a
Comprehensive Bill Taken
From Several Plans Is
Expected

Washington, Dec. 19.-Hearlngs
on rural credits legislation before
the senate banking committee near
ed an end today with members Of
committee predicting that a COM
prehensive bill embodying features
of several of the fafm relief meas
ures now pending would be ready
for submission to the senate early
next week.
At today's committee session Ben
C. Marsh, who said he represented
the peoples reconstruction league,
composed Of progressive farmer and
labor organizations, declared solu-
tion Of the present agricultural sit
uation lay in passage Of the Norris
government corporation bill, rather
than in the extension of further
farm credits.
What agriculture needs, he said,
is not credit, but higher prices and
legislation which will "divorce the
farmers from the Wall Street owned
and controlled federal reserve sys-
tem." He also charged that the
committee was not permitting the
farmers to lay their side of the case
before it adequately but was giving
a hearing to all bankers representa-.
tives who went to appear.

To Define Future
Relations

the Farmer-Labor party who attend
ed the recent conference for pro-
gressive political action at Cleve-
land soon will ask the national
committee Of their party to define
the future relations of the party to
the conference and will recommend
that a national convention Of the
party be held early in 1923 to plan
the 1924 presidential campaign, ]. G..
Brown, the national secretary an
nounced today. The conference at
Cleveland decided against independ-
ent political action. -, '~
The groups meeting at Cleveland
formed slightly bound organiza-
tion with a written constitution"
Mr.. Brown said in a statement.
"Therefore certain questions arise.
What is the status Of the constitut-
ent bodies of this new organization ?
Is there any place in them for sim
cere party organized for independ-
ent political action by hand and
brain workers ?"
Mr.. G. Brown stated that "those
groups, especially in the western
states which through experience
have learned the folly Of trying to
advance the cause of the workers
through either Of the old parties"
would be invited to participate in
the national convention Of the farm
er-labor party.

Steele Creamery
Is Shut Down

Steele, N. D., Dec. 19.-After futile
efforts to enlist interest among
farmers milking cows to take shares
in the creamery on cooperative
basis, the Steele Creamery has been
closed indefinitely. There was a
prospect of a Driscoll man taking it
over on lease or purchase but it fell
through. It is owned by the father
in-law of w. F. Siege, of Medina,
who turned it over as part of securi-
ty when the Siege Bank closed at
Medina. He wished to dispose Of it
as the margin of profit during the
winter was too small to warrant its
operation, two cream buying agenci-
es in town had some effect on the
receipts of cream, and the salary Of
the manager. with oter costs, used
up most Of the revenues.

DRY AGENTS
SEEK AID0F
STATE FORCES
President Harding Sees
Greater Cooperation as
Result of Conference

Washington, Dec. 19.-General
encouragement as to the prospects
of meeting present prohibition en-
forcement problems through close
cooperation between the federal and
state authorities and an earnest ap-
neal sor REVENGE to the law was felt
today by administration officials as
a result of President Hard,ngs' con-
ference on the subject with state
governors.
Among the fourteen states iexecu-
tives who discussed the subject in
formally with the President and ad-
ministration officials directly inter-
,ested at. a White House luncheon
conference @yeste rday, there's appear
ed to be an almost iunanim GUS
opinion that the way to improve
ment situation lay not in relaxation
of the present enforcement statutes
but rather in more rigid execution
of its terms. More severe fines and
prison sentences for violations, it
was said to have been held, would
assist prohibition officials in their
work, whlle> more careful selection
Of prohibition personal and educs-
ton of the public to the necessity
of law reverence were among other
informal" suggestions made.
In a statement after the confer
ence, Prohibition Commissioner
Haynes said in many instances the
reports of the governors were of an
Encouraging nature" 1ndicatd ons
today were that another conference
Of governors might be called early
in the new year for more thorough
discussion Of the subject.

Big sums ARE
INVOLVED IN
LAND ACTIONS
Cases of H. C.. Rhud and Geo.
H. Paul to go on Trial in
District Court
BOTH BRING ACTIONS

Trial of case involving land con-
tracts amounting to many thousands
OF dollars has been started in district
court here before Judge James A.
Coffey. Three cases, one of H. c.
Rhud against Geo. H. Paul, and two
by Geo. II. Paul against NJ. c. Rhud
and Bertha Rhud, are to be tried to-
gether and submitted to Judge Cof-
fey for decision. The cases have
been hanging fire for considerable
length of time.
In the first case H. C. Rhud
brought action against Geo. H. Paul
for judgment totalling $21 ,OO4.4O and
interest since March e., 1920, as a
result of alleged failure to fulfill a
contract for the exchange and sale
Of lands and other property made be-
tween them on March 27, 1920. s.
The contract, as set out in the
complaint, provided that Paul woutl
sell to Rhud lands valued at $164, 900
and Rhud sell to Paul lands valued
at $l43,2OO. with provision regard
ing the difference.
Paul was to turn over 4,710 acres
Florida land to Rhud, subject to en-
cumbrance of $4,000.
Rhud was to turn over three tracts
Of Tennessee land of 3,77S,2,088 and
5000 acres; 100 acres near Brittin,
N. D.; 100 acres near Steele; 12O
acres near Goodrich; 5000 acres

house ON TenthSsstreet, south. ware.
house at Broadway and Eighteenth
street, 4s river bottom lots, and
other property, subject to encur,-
brance Of $4,000.
There was supplemental COW
tract of May 26, 1920, changing the
provisions somewhat.
Mr.. Rhud alleges in his complaint
that Paul was unable to deliver
some of the land in Florida and ne
elected to pay sums of money, 50
that he demands judgment of $21,-
O04.4O.
Paul in an answer alleged that the
contract was not carried out because
Rhud could not fulfill it in delivery
of certain lands, denies there is due
to Rhud $21,OO4.40, and in turn asks
judgment against Rhud Of $11 $685.
less s4,350, with interest since Octo-
ber, 1920, and asks for direction OF

county.
In another suit of Paul he claims
that the defendant was not "weil
seized, in fee, or otherwise OF cer7
tain property in Bismarck which was
to be conveyed, and asks $4,000 dam,
age. In another action he claimed
there was mortgage on land on
which a deed was made and asks
S5,4O4.17 damages.

liability that Marshal Pilsudski, for.
mer chief of the Polish state, will
become candidate for the presiden-
cy Of Poland in the election to fill
the vacancy caused by the assassin
alton of President Narutowirz is
reflected in dispatches received by
the French foreign office. The Mar

WREATH ON TOMB OF
NATIONS UNKNOWN DEAD

Washington, Nov. II (by Associated
Press. president Harding today
placed a wreath of remembrance on
the tomb of the unknown soldier, who
rests in the National Cemetery at Ar
lington, and the utter simplicity and
the sincerity of the tribune today was
in a way as gripping to the few who
saw it as was the day long tide of
emotional fervor that marked the
home coming a year ago. 1t set
custom for the national observance
of Armistice day in the future that
will make the unknown soldier from
France the keeper of Americas annual
expressions of pride and glory of her
sons who fought in France be they
living or dead.
There were many other tributes
brought to the tomb during the day.
Some times little groups of men and
women from distant cities made the
journey to lay bright flowers on the
nodded stone work that holds the
body of a nameless American for whom
no honor has been too high. Some
times the blossoms are laid there by
men moved to individual tribute to
the dead.
1t was thus that General John j.
Pershing's offering was placed. The
man who commanded this humble
sleeper and the surging ranks of his
comrades in France had hoped to go
himself, and alone, to carry this tr1-
butte to the fallen at the tomb, but
he was called elsewhere to talk with
patriotic men on the living issues in
the nations life and reluctantly as
signed to his aide to go after all
others had come and gone with flowers
and place his Offering there.
A mere handful of spectators and
a little detachment of armed men,
made up Of soldiers. sailors, and mar
ines to represent the three fighting
services of the nation were at hand
when the President appeared with
Secretary Weeks and Secretary Dan
iels to pay the nations tribute to the
dead.
