A GREAT EDITOR GONE

The passing of Lord Northcliffe,
known the world over for the fear
lessness, success and excellence of
his many publications, marks the end
ing Of another remarkable career in
what some writers have designated
as personal journalism" He rank
ed with Dana, Greedy, James Gordon
Bennett, Joseph Medill, and others,
known as the greatest editors; indeed,
he is ranked by many as the most
potent figure in the history OF jour-
nalism. Lord Northcliffe's personal
ity dominated his newspapers. They
reflected his opinions, and more often
q reader of one Of his publications
thought more frequently of North
cliffe in reading The London Times
than of the newspaper as an insti-
tuition.
Northcliffe was loved and hated,
and probably did not care. For
many years before the war he welded
a strong influence on national life in
Great Britain. He was often called
<:the cabinet maker" and many pow
erful politician and statesman fell be-
fore his terrific attacks which gained
for him the sobriquet Of 1.-THE Thun-
derer". He refused to accept an Of
fetal position; he always kept free
of entangling alliances and it is said
he never failed to criticize friend
as strongly as a foe if he believed
the criticism was due.

Thorwald Mostad, whose appoint
ment as receiver of the Sawyer State
bank was recently revoked by the
state bank examiner acting under in
structions from the state banking
board, appeared in district court be-
fore Judge John c. Lowe today. He
requested further time in which to

fused to surrender the duties of re-
ceiver to the new appointee.

time the briefs will be submitted and
the case argued.

from trip in the western part Of the

Farmers in that section also are

possible, he said, many of them cut

The strike of the soft coal dealers
has been settled, the strikers signing
an agreement to go to work on the
same scale of wages they were receiv-
ing when they went on strike 20
weeks ago. An advisory fact-fnding
committee is to function to settle
future disputes. The new contract is
to continue in force until next April.
A great deal of valuable time has
been wasted and no one appears. to
have gained anything, not even the
miners. The anthracite miners are
expected to make an early settlement
along similar lines.

This is the year for small grain
crops. Many Of the newcomers have
been listening to the oldtimers tell
their stories about wonderful yields
Of former days and frequently there
were doubts as to the authenticity Of
the threshing reports. There were
stories of oats averaging more than
hundred bushels per acre and few
believed that this could be possible.
Charles Stearn, who operates the John
Ehr farm, three miles west Of Minot,
has just threshed his 80 acre field
Of oats that averaged SO bushels per
acre, machine measure, weighing as
pounds to the bushel, which makes
the yield 124 bushels per acre, by
weight. Forest Olmstead, Of Ster-
ling, ILL.,, who farms land that is
valued at $400 per acre, informs the
Independent that his oats this year
averaged only 40 bushels per acre.
The conservative value of the North
Dakota farm that yielded 124 bushels
is in the neighborhood Of $500 per
acre. Why this difference?

AS the result OF the eIIOfCS OF GOV-
ernor Nestos in securing the $500
railroad fare for harvest hands, thou
sands of whom have poured into North
Dakota from eastern states, our farm
ers have been able to secure better
class of hands than have come to
North Dakota in many years. For a
while it appeared as tho North Da-
kota would remain firmly in the grip
of the l. W. w., who arrived by the
thousands, preferring to stand around
the streets rather than work for a
wage that the farmers could really
afford to pay. Little they cared
whether the farmer was able to meet
their demands or not. Five dollars
day and board is their slogan and
few l. w. WIS are willing to work for
less. They have done what they could
) to induce others not to accept work
for less. Thanks to our Governor
and the railroads, we now have a fine
| class of harvest hands and North Da-
kotas greatest crop will be secure in
the granaries and elevators in due
! time. A great many of these young
men from the east will become citi-
zens of our state in the future. Com
missioner of Agriculture and Labor

to treat them we'll, that they may GO

SOCIALIST CHANGING OR PRE-
NAVIGATING?

'In the course of time the l. V. A. s
will realize the justice of the fight
the farmer is making-the right to
get cost of production for what he
sells, plus little profit-and the gov
eminent accords this to even the poor
railroads." - North Dakota Leader,
July 20.
Here that socialist editor is willing
to allow the farmer just "a little
profit. But since those socialists
have been editing for the N. P. L. they
have double-crossed themselves so
much and so often that it is hard to
know when they are telling the truth
Or prevaricating. The following
taken from the socialist national plat
form shows where all socialists stand
on "profits" whether big or little viz:
Socialism means that . . the MAX

Our farm Deficiencies

The Agricultural Committee of
the Arkansas Bankers Assooist ton,
IN session IN this city during the
past week, discussed the agricultural
Deficiencies of Arkansas. In spite
of quite remarkable agricultural ad
vancement during the past seven
years our deficiencies still are many
and great.
The report submitted to the Agri.
cultural Committee was based chiefly Y
on the 1920 census. The census fig
ures show that SO per cent OF the
939, 604 farms IN Arkansas are with
out dalrv cav; 81 per cent do not
raise a chicken; AZ per cent produce
no butter; 81 per cent are without
gardens; 81 per cent raise 20 hay or
forage and 81 per cent buy feed.
Arkansas is essentially an agricul.
turaI state and these surprising fig
ures show plainly a lack Of efficiency
on too many of our farms. The
Bankers, Association, one OF the
most virile organizations we have IN
Arkansas, is seeking TO benefit not
only the farmer but every other
person in the state by Its present
investigations.
George H. Bell OF Nashville, pres.
ldent Of the Bankers Association,
who attended the meeting OF the
Agricultural Committee, made 1t
plain that the bankers are not advo
eating cotton acreage reduction, but
are interested primarily in making
every farm IN Arkansas self.sustain.
ing. The bankers urge that every
Arkansas farmer shall produce the
feed and food stufs required for his
farms maintenance IN addition to
the crop IN which be speclalizes.
II this simple plan we're followed
sensible reduction OF cotton acreage
would come automatically. An In
cidental benefit of the system advo-
Gated by the bankers would be the
saving OF huge freight bills and
huge store bills 1t is an economic
crime for Arkansas farmers to buy
their feed stutfs or much OF their
food stuffs, for our soil aud climate

THREATEN TO CONTEST
The RECENT PRIMARY

1t is currently reported that GER
tam candidates are taking steps to
contest the recent Democratic prl-
mary election on the grounds that
the same was conducted illegally in
many respects, that certain per-
sons voted in more than one town
ship, that Republicans we're allo wed
to vote, that minors voted and that
many persons were permitted to
vote who held poll tax receipts is.
sued after the time tor legal pay
ment had passed, etc
Whether or not 1t can be proved
that actual fraud was praotlsed we
do not know. It's very evident
that the election was not regular in
every respect, Delther has any pre-
vlous election been held strictly in
accordance with the late primary
election law, and neither will any
in the future be conducted legally
as long as the Brundidge primary
law remains In effect. The law is
too difficult to define and so tedious
to carry out that 1t would take a
week for the larger townships to
hold an election if they were held
to the strict letter of the law.
But it is a charge Of fraud and un
fair methods, so we are told, that Is
engaging the minds of the candi-
dates and their friends who are pro.
posing to contest. This Is a serious
charge against the three tried and
true Democrats in each township
who acted as judges 10 the late cleo
tion. We do not believe that any
of them would permit the use of any
dishonest or unfair methods in fav
or Of any candidate If within their
knowledge. We believe them all
to be honest men, who believe II
giving every msn a square deal, but
If other persons sought to take ad.
vantage aud If there Is sufficient
ground for believing that gross IT
regularities existed then of course
the same should be investigated
There is not a true Democrat IN to,
county who does not believe in fan
play and there should be some way
provided by which the truth might
be made known to the satisfaction
of the people of the county.
If this investigation Ia or Is moi
made let us hope that never again il
