Defense Fund for CahiIl

Employees of the board OF admins
tration are urged to contribute the
"Cahill defense fund" being raised by
E. E. Rimbach, purchasing agent for
the board.
In letter to employees Rimbach
takes a slap at George Totten Jr. fo:
"resigning under fire" and stating
that it gives opponents distinct al
vantage. He points to the "Stange-
land affair" as another case where
failure to stand ground helped the op-
position.
Employees are invited to contribute
"a months or two months salary" to
employ lawyers to enable Cahill to re-
tain his place or the boar>i, and RIM
bach gives his assurance that he is
quite willing to do the same as he ex-
pected to lose his job anyway if Ca
hill was off the board.
Rimbach today admitted the fund
was being raised, and declared that
plenty of funds were available but
declined to say how much had been
raised.

INSISTS ON ORIGINAL PRICE
FOR STATE BUILT HOME

Fargo, N. D., April 7.-Act:on to
compel the North Dakota Homebuild-
ers association to deliver to him a
deed to the residence at 1925 9th St.
S. Fargo, at the price that he says
was agreed upon when the association
undertook to build the residence, has
been instituted today by David Hull.
Mr.. Hull, in his complaint, sets up
the proposition that he paid ST 900 to
the association, and that it was agreed
that he was to pay $2865 month for
20 years to take care Of the balance
of $4,000, or the purchase price, he
says was agreed upon.
The association failed to live up to
its agreement, complains Hull, and
later asked that he pay $7,376.76 for
the residence, refusing to go through
with the original deal. st
Mr.. Hull insists that the associa-
ton is bound under its agreement to
give up to him the residence at the
agreed price >...s.,-. ~. = ':'-''.-
This action will have material
effect as far as the manner of settling
the Home Builders association affairs
is concerned. Many other purchasers
of homes, from the association have
been guaranteed the delivery of resi-
dences to them at cost far less than
the association now demands. The
increased purchase price asked by the
association grows out of the manner
in which the affairs of the crganiza-
ttion were conducted by the old state
officials. .'

sent Mr.. Hull. - ...

Capt. Howard Huston, former Mi
not young man, who distinguished
himself on the field of battle in
France, will arrive in this city on No.
l, early Friday morning and will be
the guest of friends in Minot and
vicinity during the remainder of the
week.
This is Capt. Huston's first journey
back to his old home since the war
and the citizens of Minot are making
extensive plans for fitting public
reception, to be held at the high school
auditorium, Easter Sunday afternoon
at 4 o'clock.
The American Legion is in charge
of the arrangements. DR.. F. J.
Brugman, Post Commander, an
nounces that he has an interesting
program arranged which will last for
about an, hour and half. This will
consist Of special music under the
direction Of John E. Howard and
there will be addresses by Capt. Hus-
ton, Governor R. A. Nestos and 9TH
ers. Many friends from the sur
rounding country will join the Minot
folks in welcoming home this disting-
uished citizen. .y,,r
Capt. Huston spent Wednesday and
today in Grand Forks and last night
was the guest of the Commercial Club
of that city. He addressed the STU
dents at the state university, from
which institution he is graduate
1t is possible that Mr.. Huston will
visit friends in Surrey, where some
years ago he was an instructor in the
schools, and at Deering, his old home.
Capt. Huston volunteered for ser
vice in the. officers training camp
at Fort Smelling when our country
entered the war. He was one Of
Major Persons students in the camp.
He was sent to France early in the
struggle and was soon on the field Of
battle. In one of the hottest en-
,gagements, he was severely wounded,
but refused to give up his command
when ordered to the rear for sur
gical attention, remaining with his
men until the engagement had been
won. He was cited for bravery for
this incident.
He was in military hospital for
months, while his wounds were heal
ing and it was reported by the war
department that he had met death.
His relatives and thousands Of friends
mourned him as dead for some time,
until finally the joyous news was re-
ceived that he was still in the land
of the living with good prospects for
recovery.
Following the war, Capt. Huston
was placed in a very responsible posi-
ton with the League of Nations, and
on account of his unusual ability, he

was elevated to the high position as
secretary of the League Of Nations
He now resides at Geneva, Switzer-
land, and came to the United States
on a business mission. He will be
able to remain here but short time.
Shortly after the close of the war.
Capt. Huston married an English
young woman, a member of prom
inent family. Mr.. Huston was aide to
a General and his bride is close
friend of the Generals family. Mr..
Huston and babe were unable to ac-
company the Captain on his journey
to America.
Capt. Huston's parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. D. F. Huston, former residents
of Deering, now reside in Arkansas,
and he will visit them before he re-
turns to Europe. He will also visit
at the home Of his sister, Mrs. Robe rt
Mile, near Granville. ;.
, Minot is very proud of the splendid
record made by Capt. Huston and the
Auditorium will hardly be large
enough to accommodate the immense
crowd that will gather Sunday after
noon to do him honor.

their habits of life and methods of
breeding that the entomologist is en-
abled to wage successful warfare up
on them. The members of the confer
ence tell of the different methods OF
control each experiment station or To-
cality has tried, and the cost and feas-
ibility of such plans.
Campaigns have been waged over
these different states and provinces
which have proved very successful in
the control of the grasshopper and
the cut worm, and have been the
means of saving millions of dollars
worth of crops to the farmers. They
hope to discover still better control
measures for these and other insect
pests, such as the sawfly which
is beginning to be pest of no small
volume. The cut worm has been pretty
thoroly studied, and also the grass
hopper. In Montana they feel that
they have the grasshopper situation
pretty well under control, and unless
some new phase develops, that, under
present state methods of control, no
great drawback was the distance be-
tween acreages treated. Burning has
been found to be of little value, since
it is not practicable to heat the upper
inch of soil to the necessary tempera-
ture in. order to kill the larvae and
nymph.
It is very encouraging to the farm
ers to have their problems receive
such thoro attention, and the scien-
fists who are making this their life
work must surely find. no small salts
faction in the fact that their success
means the protection Of two nations
crops and the financial welfare of
many thousands Of individual farm
ers.
The next annual meeting is to be
held in Winnipeg, Man., some time in
April next year. A. v. Kitchener

cupied for two years.

One Of the best monthly dinners
yet held by the Association of Com
merce was given Tuesday night when
fully hundred attended.
S. s. Morgan was chairman of the
meeting and kept things humming
The talks were all snappy, short and
well thot out and several important
topics were discussed. The Associa-
tion of Commerce has established a
reputation for doing effective work
along number of important lines.
Halvor L. Halvorson reviewed the
potato situation and the Association
passed resolution backing the potato
growing industry and a warehouse
The railroads have promised the best
of location for warehouse and the
following committee volunteered to
take charge of raising the necessary
funds: A. E. Shirley, chairman, Geo.

lison, Matt Ringen and H. L. Halvor-
son. ~
James Milloy, secretary, told OF the
activities along immigration lines.
Thirty-eight local units have been or
ganized in northwestern North Dako-
Ia and $37 100000 has been pledged to
date for a development program COW
ering from five to ten years. Fifty
three Iowa and Nebraska farmers will
come to Minot in June to find homes,

Carl E. Danielson, president Of the
Association, talked about the men,
bership drive and explained the con-
test for members now being conduct
ed between the Rotary and Kiwanis
clubs, which will end this week.
Jack Twiford, who has managed
the Minot base ball team successfully
for several seasons, spoke of the pros
poets for base ball this season. He
was trying to ascertain whether Mi
not wanted league team this year
or not. If other towns in the state
do not support league teams, it would
hardly be feasible for Minot to do SO,
as it would be hard to get dates. Mr..
Twiford pointed cut that half hearted
support of ball team is worse than
no support at all. He stated that
new uniforms would have to be secur-
ed as the ones now in use are of the
1917 vintage.
Rev. T. F:jrGullixson, pastor Of the
First Lutheran church spoke on the
prospects for new Lutheran hospi-
tai for Minot. He stated that in his
old correspondence with Rev. Mr..
Larson, former pastor, eleven years
ago, he was told before coming here
that one of Minot needs was Luth-
eran hospital. During all these years
the Lutherans have not lost sight of
this and are now in dead earnest on
plans to build one. He expressed the
utmost faith in the future Of North
western, North Dakota.

for more than $4,000 representing
payments on subscriptions for North
Dakota mill and elevator bonds were
mailed to the original owners We'd
nesday night by j. H. McNicol, treas
urer Of the Grand Forks Commercial
club committee which was in charge

Under an agreement with the for
mer state industrial commission the
Grand Forks Commercial club at the

ed here agreed to sell mill and eleva-
r bonds up to $1,000,000. The first

cal sale is no longer desired and all
subscriptions are therefore being re-
paid in full with six per cent interest.
