ROME, ITALY, Nov. 25.-
Welcome to America, my dear
President Clemenceau! You are
giving fine example Of the
resistance Of a powerful will.
There is nothing / appreciate
so much as your persevering ef-
fort. I remember, not without
a thrill of emotion, your fare
well speech to Lloyd George
and myself, then premiers of
England and Italy, at the Paris
conference.
/ believe it was one evening
February 20, 1920-when you
had just rendered your resigna-
tion as president of the French
cabinet, becoming a candidate for
the presidency Of the republic.
But, quite Unexpectedly, when
everybody was sure Of your sue
cess and your political adver-
saries themselves were in a state
Of collapse, an eleventh hour
coalition elected Deschanel presi-
dent. Millerand had become pre-
mier, but you refused to abandon
the conference, and with the con-
sent of all and with the assist
ance of Millerand himself, you
continued to preside over the
conference.
PREMIERS QUIT FARLEY.
On the evening of February 20
Lloyd George and I had to leave
and 1t was necessary to close the
conference as soon as possible. I
still remember the eloquent words,
SO full of real emotion. which you
pronounced on our parting. They
were inspired by such profound
sadness. such nobility Of soul. that
they still ring in my ears.
Although not elected to the presi.
dency Of the republic and having
rendered your resignation as presi-
dent Of the council. France, by a
special bill, proclaimed you "as
deserving of your country"
You then addressed us. on clos
ing the conference. explaining not
only what had been done, but
what still remained to be done IL
the enormous effort in which we
were all concerned should prove a
practical success.
Now, my dear president, Lloyd
George, you and I are no longer
members of our governments. You
are setting us a good example.
1t Is well understood that the
destinies OF Europe can only be
decided In America and with
youthful enthusiasm in the inter
ests Of your country. you have
gone to hold psrley in the United
States. II were to have your
political authority and were pos
sessed of as sound a knowledge
Of the English language would
perhaps follow your example. now

Good Crop OF Sugar y

According to agricultural men who
have looked over the sugar beet situa-
ton in Polk county. the crop here is
place in, Minnesota. word received
from Fisher reads. It is expected
that the crop will average 20 tons to
the acre and as there are about 1,4oo
acres in the vicinity. It. is expected
that farmers will realize no less than
$125,o00 on their beets.
A move has begun here for a sugar
beet factory by those who have
studied the situation. tne argument
that the Chaska factory pays out
$750.000 annually being put forward
by the promoters as a good reason
for boosting the plan.

Mr.. Mcmahon then went on to

most likely of immediate consumma-
ton in the n for gravity irrigation
at Bowman and a plan for spring
county. The largest possibility, &C
cording to Mr.. Mcmahon is in diver
sion of the Missouri river. In speak
ing of this he said:
Last but not least must be con-
sfdered the diversion of the Missouri
river. This may be accomplished in
two days: either by the construction
of a dam in eastern Montana to di-
vert <he waters of the Missouri by
gravity or direct pumping to the flats
Of the Missouri in western North Da-
kota, or by the construction Of a long
tunnel from the Missouri river south
of Garrison to the Mouse river Valley.
The Missouri river at the point men
toned is zoo feet above the Mouse
river at Velva. 1870 feet above Minot
and $50 feet above Devils Lake. Such
a scheme could also supply water ror
maintaining the present level OF
Devils Lake. More than one-half of
the land in the Mouse River loop
could be irrigated BY this project.
tThese projects were Investigated
by the U. S.. Geological survey but
were not considered feasible al that
time. a thorough investigation
should be made in the near future
