John F. Coleman, One of Earliest
: Settlers, Succumbs

John F. Coleman, one Of the early
settlers Of this community, died at
his home 2A miles south Of Oakes on
Saturday, August 26. Death came as
the result Of a lingering illness, the
deceased having been in failing health
for the past three years.
E Mr.. Coleman was born on farm
|ise6r Bff1gsville, Wisconsin, March
26, 1854, being 6s years and s months
Of age at the time Of his death. He
came to this territory in the early
eighties, and in 1883 filed on home-
stead south of Oakes. There he re-
sided until 1918, when he moved to
farm closer to town, where the fam
lily has since lived.

Cattle Country ON Atlantic Coast

O8ttle COuntfy on Atl0ntlc coast
Will the Atlantic seaboard yet be
the cattle country Of the United
States?
"A distinct trend toward beef raising
has been noted in the east for some
months.
Farmers and breeders in this sec
ton Of the country, long supreme as
producers Of dairy cattle, are now
turning their attention to raising beef
cattle. The grassy pastures, hillside
forage and extensive timber land of
the east is said by experts to be ad-
mirably adapted to beef cattle pro-
duction. One. leading breed of beef
cattle is now said to number more than
$4,000 head on eastern farms.
The developing demand for beef cat
tie in the Atlantic and New England
states is responsible for the decision
to hold stock show at Wilmington,
DEL, starting Sept. 4.
Eastern stockmen are taking to the
idea, realizing that they have let much
valuable land 60 to waste through fail
ure to utilize their natural advantages
Z North Dakota has just as great nat
ural advantages for the raising Of beef
cattle as any Of the eastern states
It would be good idea to work into
this business and quit raising 80 much
small grain.

BLAME THREATS
FOR GRAIN SLUMP
Low Prices Are Declared BY Expsrts
to Be Due to Lack OF SpeculS-
tive Seatiment
CONGRESS MUST HELP FARMERS
Prosperous Agricultural Class Would
Insure Prosperity for All

Prices Tor grain have suffered SER
ious slump partly as a result Of
threats Of destructive legislation which
have destroyed speculative demand,
according to L. L. Winters, economist
and director Of the Chicago board Of
trade, in statement forwarded to
Illinois members Of congress.
The statement declared that only
a new and wholly constructive effort
on the part Of congress can help the
farmers out Of most disturbing sit
uation.
"At this season Of the year." Mr..
Winters said, speculative buying pow
er in grain is needed. But speculative
buying power is woefully lacking. On
the other hand, stocks have ruled a..
tonishingly strong, notwithstanding
the industrial upheaval which ordinar-
lily would have proved q most depress-
ing influence on the stock market.
ut 10 obvious that legislative threats
and interference have driven specula-
tion out Of grains and into stocks,
making the stock market strong and
the wheat market, because Of lack Of
speculation, exceedingly weak at the
heavy crop-moving period"
Declaring that q prosperous agri-
cultural class would assure prosper
ity for all, he asserted that to bring
this about foreign trade must be en-
couraged. Congress could at this
time materially counteract the effect
Of legislation which has discouraged
grain speculation by enacting a con-
structive law to increase foreign de-
mand for our grain in the operation
Of which the farmer would derive ben

taken from the maker and cashed by

Interesting Program Offered Lovers Of
the Manly Art Next Saturday
Evening
THIRD MEETING OF sCRAPPERs
Preliminaries Between Local Young
sters Before Main Bout

Oakes people who are interested in
high class boxing will be given a treat
next Saturday evening when Julius
Wirth of this city meets Kid Fogarty
Of Bismarck in a ten round bout.
These two young men have tried
twice before to settle the question Of
physical supremacy without any very
definite result. They met here last
spring and the local boy was shaded,
but he was in poor condition and even
then his opponent readily admitted
that he was glad when the battle was
over. At Cogswell the fourth Of July
they pummeled each other for ten
rounds, with Fogarty on the short end
by very slight margin. It was a
wonderful fight and witnesses went
home entirely satisfied that they had
received their moneys worth.
While it is extremely doubtful that
either will be able to win by knock
out, as each boy seems to be able to
assimilate harder punch than he can
deliver, those who attend will see a
real fight and it is within the possibil-
tiles that one or the other will get a
free look at the ceiling, with the ref
cree timing the exposure.
Kenneth Espeland and J. D. Smith,
Jr., who put on rafting good three
round bout here the fourth Of July,
will appear again. They always please
and this exhibition alone will be worth
the price Of admission.
In the other opener, Elmer Olson
and Francis Brennan will swap
punches for three rounds. They have
appeared in several bouts here, each
Of which delighted the audience. It
is not expected that these youngsters
will try for Knockout, but both are
clever boxers and it is pleasure to
see them in action. .s
L. L. Wilson, who has refereed most
Of theocontests held here, will endeav-
or to keep the fighters from killing
each other. He should be successful,
because he is big enough to start q
private grave yard If anybody be-
comes obstreperous.
The card will be put on in the C. NJ.
c. hall and tickets are now on sale at
the Point.

U. s. Cleaning Up Seed Loans

:
N. A. Olson, in charge Of the gov
ernment's seed loan office in Grand
Forks, announces that his Office is
completing the collection Of the 1921
loan to farmers as well as the 1922
loan. The 1921 loan, amounting to
81 SOC, 900, was appropriated after the
crop failure Of the preceding year, but
owing to the fact that the new crop
was more or less failure, the de-
partment was unable to collect from
many Of the farmers and extensions
were granted until this fall.
The 1922 loan totaled 81, 200, 900 and
it ALSO is being collected this fall. The
government has a first lien on the
crops Of borrowers.
Within few days notices Of collec-
tion will be in the hands Of all borrow
ers and in all banks and elevators in
the borrowers community.

Ignite WILL SAVE THE STATE
Situation Here Does Not Compare
With that Of Minnesota

The cooperation Of the North Da-
kota Ignite operators with the gover-s
nor's fuel administration lis looked
upon with satisfaction by the peopls
Of the state. The operators have
turned over to the fuel administrators
all of their figures and estimates, and
with the hslp Of these the adminiss
TRAITORS Wifl BE Ina position to control;
supply and apportion it to demand.
One fact is apparent, and that is
the failure Of most people to realize
the seriousness of the fuel situation
in the northwest. For instance, Gov
ernor Preus declares Minnesota must
have 400,O0 tons Of coal year in or
der to exist. All the government can
promise is 100000. Minnesota's plight
is worse than North Dakota's, for of
all the states affected North Dakota
is in the best position.
North Dakota's Ignite will save her
from suffering and from stopping her
industries. The fuel administration
estimates that there are 1875 mines in
the state, Of which several rank in
size and equipment with any Of the
eastern mines. The annual output
runs up to about S50, ,000 tons q year.
Most Of them have promised the gov
ernor to double their capacity within
60 days. As North Dakota has been
in the habit Of importing, at high
prices, about 100000 tons of coal, and
this will be largely wiped out, the
mines Of the state will step into the
breach and show her people that her
own Ignite coal is the means Of safety
at this critical time. The Ignite coal
operators have pledged their closest
cooperation.

THIRD ANNUAL COUNTY FAIR
Liberal Premiuns Offered Exhibitors
In All Departmsnts

Plans for the third annual Dickey
county fair, to be held at Glendale
Oct. s, 6 and z, are rapidly round
ing gs,into definite form. The. commit
tee in chI&ge ID nov endeavoring to
hook ! high class carnival and several
free attractions.
Nearly $t,500.00 in premiums will
be offered this year in the live stock,
agricultural, poultry and women's de-
partments.
Some slight changes have been made
in the live stock department to allow
for the showing Of fall bred hogs in
classes separate from those born in
the spring: The agricultural depart
ment has sbeen enlarged to allow for
a greater variety Of exhibits.
An art section has been added to
the women's department, in which
prizes will be offered for china paint
ings, basketry, beadwork and hand
painted pictures.
The committee is very anxious to
have every one in the county take q
personal interest in the fair this year.
It will be place where one can bring
exhibits, visit and feel at home, even
though residing in the furthermost
section Of the county.
Arrangements are being made for
Oakes and Fullerton days. Each Of
these towns will be invited to come in
a body, bring their bands and add
their part toward making the fair one
Of which every Dickey county citizen
will be proud.

bog Cholera in County

Hog cholera outbreaks have been
reported from the territory joining
Fullerton on the east. Some farmers
have already suffered heavy losses al
a result Of this disease. It is sad
sight to see fifty or sixty hogs dead
from this cause when a large portion
OF the loss might have been avoided
if the proper steps had been taken
in time.
"A meeting Of about fifty farmers
was held in Fullerton one evening last
week, at which the county agent out
lined some Of the measures that should
be taken to stop the spread Of the
disease. These in brief are as fol-
lows: Strict self imposed quarantine
Of all farms having sick hogs as well
as in all hog lots in the infected ter
ritory; segregation Of diseased hogs
az soon as sickness is noticed in 8
herd; keeping all lots clean and hogs
in healthy condition; burning o,
burying (six feet deep all dead hogs
vaccination by licensed veterinarian
Of all herds close to o'the outbreak.
It is well known fact that hog
cholera is more apt to break out al
this season Of the year and that j,
spreads more rapidly than during the
cooler seasons. It behooves every
farmer during these times to keep q
close watch on his hogs and not takt
chance by delay. Prevention Of
cholera is q sure and safe procedure
but cure is beyond the power ot
modern science.

LINING WAGE IS
ARGUMENT / N NOW
Labor Unions Want the President IL
Help Board Define at Once the
Proper Standards
POSTPONE PAY HEARING AGAIN
Amendment to Transportation Act il
Urged by Maintenance Chief

The railroad labor board has denied
the motion Of w. Jett Lauck, labor
statistician, that the members imme-
diately define the principle Of "a living
wage" in the case Of the maintenance
Of way employees, who are seeking
increased minimum rates Of pay.
E. F. Cradle, president Of the main
tenance organization, is in conference
with President Harding and Senator
Cummins at Washington, asking them
to present to congress an amendment
to the transportation act which would
make it mandatory for the board to
enunciate the principle Of living
wage.
President Harding still believes that
congress should grant him immediate
authority to take over railroads and
mines, but assures congressman that
only the grimest public necessity will
move him to exercise such powers il
pranted.
If congress indicates unwillingness
to enact the necessary legislation, the
president does not intend to push his
demand for the powers as he does not
believe that there is any present ne
cessity for action under such grant.
In the light Of facts presented at a
recent cabinet meeting, Harding is
said to believe that the bituminous
coal situation has cleared itself up
and that there will be an anthracite
settlement within short time, leav-
ing the condition Of railroads and the
shop mems strike a. the only big in
dustrial menace.
He has no doubt but that by little
stretch Of recognized administrative
power the federal government could
in emergency move to the control Of
essential public services without addi-
/ tional authorization, although for the
purpose Of allaying public excitement
and clearing the atmosphere he be-
lieves congress ought to- make the
powers definite and certain by enact
ing legislation,

BELGIUM OFFERS
INDEMNITY Y PLAN
GERMAN DELEGATE TO PARIS
Rnglish and French Viewpoints Still
Widely at Variance

The reparati0nS commission met last
Monday in an effort to reach q unani-
NOUS agreement regarding the Ger
man request for moratorium on in

several hours discussion, the British
and French viewpoints were still wide
ly at variance, with the Italians and
Belgians merely trying to find some
one Of number Of proposals suggest
ed that would meet the ideas Of Brit
ain and France.
Two projected solutions were dis
cussed. One Of them was known n
the Belgian plan and the other was On
amplifcation Of last minute sugges.
tion offered by Germany just before
the English and French members Of
the commission left for Paris last
week.
The Belgian plan was offered as q
means Of preventing q break between
England and France on the repara.

would accept long term notes in plac,

self on this proposal, and there will b.
further conferences. The other coun
tries are in q favorable mood.
The German plan would meet Pre-
mier Poincare's demand for allied con
troll Of German state mines and for
ests by q guarantee to France Of th,
products Of these resources during th,
period Of the moratorium. Failure T,
promptly deliver the stipul &imbsl
and coal would result in the seizure 8;

prevail Is behind .tIIs1s n SrTane ent
which is regarded as giving Franc
the productive guarantees she seek
without actually turning over politica
control Of the mines and forests.
The products Of these state proper
ties would realize very substantial
sums Of money, experts believe, an,
the sales would more than Offset th,
cash payments Of which German.
would be relieved through mora
1torium.
The British continue to emphasize
their belief that Germany is doing ev
erything she can to meet the Frencl
point Of view.
The French official position contin
ues to be that full control Of the Ger
man mines and forests must be hand
ed over to the allies in return for [
moratorium.

turned from Europe, told Presiden
Harding that Germany is on the verg
