SEES way TO
PAY OFF DEBTS
Far East Africa Governor Sud-
gests Transfer of Colonies
to United States.

Berlin-"Could the United States
dispose of her surplus colored popula-
ton by distributing it among the for
mer German colonies in Africa under
some agreement with the present Eu-
ropen manufactures "
This question arose in the course of
a conversation with DR.. Heinrich
Schnee, former governor of German
East Africa, in connection with a spe-
cial despatch from Washington pub
lished in Berlin, attributing to United
States Senator France a suggestion
that the Allied debts to the United
States could be redeemed by the
transfer OF the former German COL
onies in Africa now controlled by
Great Britain, France and Belgium to
the United States.
Senator France is reported to have
declared that such transfer would

POSTAL IMPROVEMENT
week IS OBSERVED
May ! Sees Inaugurated First
General Campaign of
Kind in Service.

Without the Postal Service, business
would languish in a day, and be at a
standstill in a week. Public opinion
would die Of dry rot. Sectional hatred
or prejudice only would flourish, and
narrow-mindednes thrive.
y Il is the biggest distinctive business
In the world and it comes nearer to the
tnnermost interests of greater num-
Der Of men and women than any other
institution on earth. No private bust
ness, however widespread, touches so
many lives so often or sharply; no
church reaches into so many souls,
fiutters so many pulses, has so many
human beings dependent on it's min
istrations.
postal Improvement Week" has
been set for May /. by the Postmaster
General. This is the first general cam
paign of its kind in the Postal Service
for several decades. Business men
and their organizations. large users of
the mail, newspapers, motion pictures,
ton of $4,000 postal workers are to be
enlisted in this countrywide campaign
of interest in postal improvements.
Your help is vital. Address your let
tiers plainly with pen or typewriter.
Give street address. Spell out name
Of State, don't abbreviate. Put your
return address in the upper left hand
corner Of envelope mot on the back)
and always look at your letter before
dropping in the mail to see if it is
properly addressed. This care in the
use OF the mails is for your benefit and
speeds up the dispatch and delivery
Of mail matter.
1t you have any complaints Of poor
service make them to your postmaster.
He has instructions to investigate them
and report to the department.

STRONG BID FOR
US. TO COME IN
Observers Seems Certain Genoa
Meeting Will Accomplish
But Little

Genoa-The next conference will
be an "all-Russian" conference at
Stockholm
It's sole object will be to take UP ex-
cluisvely the world problem of the eco
nomic reconstruction of Eastern Eu.
rope, with program that is certain to
enlist American participation.
That is the latest aim of the Russian
delegation here and it appears to have
the sympathy of the British, German
and Italian camps. The new plan is
growing out of the conviction which
is becoming daily deeper rooted that
nothing more practical than an agree
ment upon certain principles can be
accomplished at Genoa under its hard
and fast agenda which is so stubborn,
ly chung TO by the French.
"Empty Char" Big Factor.
The absence Of America is another
factor which makes any concrete re-
suits impossible. The Importance of
the 'empty chair is growing to such
dimensions that the magnitude of it's
shadow is throwing a discouraging
pail is daily becoming darker.
Tchitcherin has used the absence of
the United States with such tactical
! cleverness that it has not been pos
sible to hold meeting of the so-called
Russian committee of the general com.
mission without danger of breaking
up the entire conference on the Rus
sian problem

county Farm Bureau Column
LAND CLEARING CAMPAIGN
By the County Agent.


The County Farm Bureau is PLAN
ming for Land Clearing Campaign
for Cook County. The plans include
a Clearing Contest open to all farm
ers in the county. The endorsement
and support of the plan by the bust
ness men will be sought One bust
ness man has already come forward
with the offer of a 500 cream separ-
atOr as one of the prizes.
The success of the land clearing
campaigns in other of the northern
counties, notably Beltrami county
where 10000 acres were cleared,
should encourage the farmers to en-
ter the contest with a determination
to make record. The necessity for
speeding up the work of clearing is
plain to all. Production has reached
the point where it, for at least
part Of the season, exceeds the local
demand. But it is not yet large
enough to make an economic market
ing system feasible. If local
creamery is to come it can come only
through increased production. The
same is true of potato warehouses
and other marketing facilities. There
must be production snough 10 keep
the costs of operation within reason
able limits. And the larger the
quantity handled, the smaller in pro-
portion become some of the costs
'nseparable from marketing. A very
good illustration of this fact is found
IN the monthly reports of the CO.
operative creameries of the state.
Those creameries which receive the
largest quantities of butter-fat paw
the highest prices per pound to their
patrons.
There is another point in connec-
ton with the campaign which NAV
be worth considering and that is the
labor situation. With the low wages
offered for outside work, the farmer
may we'll figure whether his time will
not be worth more if employed in ad-
ding to his farm. Those of our
farmers who have believed this to
be true in. times Of good wages and
have pushed the development of their
farms, have reason to be satisfied
with their decision. 1t is not for
gotten, Of course, that want of CAP
'tal has made it compulsory that
some outside work be done, but the
amount should become less each year.
M. j. Thompson, superintendent of
tire Northeast Experiment Farm and
in charge of the State Land CLEARING
Division, will be in the county some
time within the next two weeks and
will attend meetings to be held at
several points. The work of land
clearing will be discussed at these
meetings and the plans for the Land
Clearing Contest explained. Watch
Tor notices Of the meetings and plan
to attend.
