Grand Forks, Oct. 80 -Nestos' III
scuabtor baby was born here today.
Pushed out into cold and drizzly
world before its time, incomplete in
its members and unable to use all its
functions, it is being tenderly nursed
and coddled so that, in time, unless
sooner strangled by thu. medical fra
ternity that brought about its prenla-
ture appearance, it may yet be a
lusty, healthy child. i
Al drizzling rain fell while the state
mill and elevator was being formally
opened on the corner Of Fourth and
DeMers avenue here, in the presence
Of 200 damp spectators, when Gov.
Nestos pressed the button that re-
leased the juice from the Cfookston
high line and set the wheels of one
unit of the mill to grinding flour at
II A.. M. The governor, in a few
words, dedicated the mill to the peo-
pie. Following him President Kane, of
the University spoke and gently de-
plored the fact that so many people
had, until now, opposed the project.
but assured his hearers that those " no
had fought it were all for it now, and
glad that it was here. = s.,s. s:zs.S>.z
Select Body Feasts #
f Following this, adjournment was
taken to the bahqueting hall of the
Commercial Club where a select body
Of $50 Of the better class were pres
ent under special invitation to feast
in honor Of the occasion. Mr.. Ireland
acted as chairman and there were
five minute speeches by Sveinbjcrn
Johnson, j. A. Kitchen, Hans Jorgen-

the patronage Of all in buying North

Among tnose present, though he
had not received a formal invitation
to the banquet or ceremonies, was
Sen. w. J. Church, member of the
State Mill and Elevator commission
and chairman of the Nonpartisan
State Executive committee. Mr.. Ire
land came to him at the table and
asked him to speak a few words and
in announcing him said-so far as
Mr.. Church was concerned-the usual
5 minute time limit was off. The Her
aid of yesterday evening says Of his
talk: III -, e. ~. H.. 4 II.
Perhaps the most heartily received
talk given at the luncheon was from
State Senator w. j. Church Of York,
a member of the Nonpartisan League
who will be leader Of his party in the
next legislature. Mr.. Church said: &
fThe progress made with the state
mill and elevator is gratifying to me
as a member of the political party re-
sponsible for starting the project. It
is particularly gratifying to the man
on the farm. It means the realization
of a dream; the thing that has been
looked for and hoped for. .

This morning during the exercises

Kane that human nature in us is

cooperation that is needed. We must
pull together neck and neck for the
successes Of this enterprise. All of
us, regardless Of political party, must
see it through. NJ, .ss..'. 4.
a Discouraging Year
Many of you own farms; / do and:
/ want to say that it has been mighty
discouraging this fall. For the first
time in several years we had crops
and they we're above the average. Yet
we were forced to see the results Of
our work disappear under our feet
and to plead for leniency and more
time IN which to meet our obligations.
81 do not say that the state mill
and elevator viii be a panacea for our
troubles. But I do believe that it will
help. NJ
III addition to this, Mr.. Church was.
at pains to point out that the mill and
elevator was u Nonpartisan idea and
that the cooperation which all the
other speakers had cried for on its
behalf could not be cooperation un-
less BOTH SIDES worked together
He knew from hitter experience,
when the farmers were ia charge, the
sort of cooperation they had received
