FARMER IS
MAKING BIG HEADWAY
Samuel Adams Returns From Ex-
tended Trip and Tells inter.
esting Story of Conditions.

Land in Europe Is passing from
the control Of the landed gentry, the
big landlords, to the peasant small
holders, the farmers who actually till

ers until it is the dominant feature Of
both the economic and political struc'
ture over there.
These are the conclusions Of Sam
uel Adams, scion Of the famous Ad-
ans family which gave us two presi-
dents, who has returned from Europe
after several months spent studying
cooperative marketing and the agri-
cultural situation. Mr.. Adams car
ried a commission from the American
Farm bureau which gained him ready
access to the heads Of the government

Prisoners Flee
From Rock Pile

Minot, N. D., Nov. 22.-H. E. Ken
nedy and Cecil (Chief) Myers, held
in the city jailsfor investigation, and
serving short sentences for vagrancy,
escaped from the city rock pile yes
terday, when the Supervisors atten-
tion was called to the fire hall, only a
few yards away, for few minutes.
The two men walked out through the
gate, it is believed.
Two other prisoners working in the
high wooden enclosure did not at
tempt to escape.
Kennedy and Myers were arrested
following two holdups in Minot last
Friday. They have both been in the
custody of local authorities before
this fall.
Police today were watching outgo-
ing trains in the belief that the two
men might attempt to board one. AL
though the men had no firearms when
arrested, it is believed they had some
"planted' about town.

Norway, Sweden, Finland, Poland,
Germany, Switzerland, Denmark,
France, Holland and Belgium.
Mr.. Adams says: "1n every country
which l visited I found that the
farmer was regarded as sthe great
stabilizing force. For that reason the
Governments, whether clerical or So
ejalistic, red or white, see the neces-
nty of giving the peasant real own
ership in the land he works. In all
these countries, new laws are being
passed SO that the peasant may pur-
chase his small holding and owe
fealty to none except the government.
In Scandinavia they have worked out
an ingenious scheme whereby the
farmer living on his own land gets
q reduction on his taxes. This taxes
absentee landlordism to death.
1.-THE impression that Russia does
not have a stable government has
been grossly exaggerated. spent
some time in Finland, only nights
ride from Russia across the bay. The
Firms do not agree with the Russian
system Of government, but they rec
ognize that it is briRging order out
Of chaos, faster than some Of us real
ize. I would not be surprised to see
wheat being exported from Russia
and Rumania within two years.

HOWARD IS. HEARD BY RADIO

tive by Wireless.

"They amt no sech animal" was not
meant for the last decade. It Is not
safe to make any sort Of negative
statement with regard to what will or
will not happen these days.
Take for instance big farm bureau
picnic held the other day at Fond du
Lac, Wis, when 5000 farm bureau
members met to have good time. Ten
years ago no one would have thought
Of having the president Of the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau federation speak to
them by radio. And yet that is just
what happened at Fond du Lac.
President James R. Howard Of the
American Farm Bureau federation
talked by radio to the farm bureau
members there. Here, In part, is what
he said:
"By one of the greatest Industrial
miracles the world has ever seen-ra-
dio-I am permitted to speak to you,
through the air, without wires. What
may this new means Of thought trans
mission not hold of progress and ad-
vancement for us who live on the
farms of America! Perhaps no other
movement in the history Of the world
has made SO rapid progress within
the short span Of ten years us has the
farm bureau. 1t is entirely within
bounds of propriety to say that no
other movement has so impressed the
general public, or accomplished as
large results as has yours"

grees above the normal value.

in which half an inch of water fell in
10 minutes, and that on the 9Th, in
which there was OH inch in Is min
utes, and a total of 0.S4 inch for the
storm After that only light showers

in excellent condition. Fruits were
unusually abundant.
