WHEAT ACREAGE
Is INCREASED
Stark County Farmers Increase
Amount, This Season

= Dickinson, N D., May 8.-Despite
the late season which Slope farmers
have experienced this year the wheat
acreage in Stark county will be great
ef than that of any other season for
the past several years, according to
farmers, bankers and other business
msn who are in close touch with the
situatiOn2 through th&i1 lactivities in
financing the planting Of the present
crop, says the Dickinson Press.
The general opinion is that every
farmer has stretched his resources to
the utmost in his endeavor to stage
comeback and is stalking all Llis
hopes on favorable crop weather Only
one criticism has been offered and
that is the expressed fear that be-
cause of the late season the crop has
been hurriedly planted without proper
preparation Of the soil.>
Virtually all seeding IN the county
has been finished. With the exce2-
ton of late small grain and forage
crops. planting is at an end and much
of the wheat is already up.
Reports from different sections of
the county tend to show that more
corn and other fed crops will be plant
ed than ever before.
High winds which prevailed during
the past week have been anything but
beneficial to the crops. 1'hese were
checked, however, by heavy shower
Thursday night in which II of an
inch of rain fell.

candidates for reelection the city also
is contributing several other candi-
dates to the Republican and Demo-
cratic primaries.
The latest to announce himself is
Harvey Stegner, Bismarck insurance
man whose announcement is being
commented on generally. Mr.. Steg-
ner takes the Fargo Forum slogan,
Turn the key to the Bank of North
Dakota" as one point in his plat
form charge of Twin CITY financial
domination as another, assails both
the /. V. A. and the league as having
socialistic platforms, says he is for
constitutional convention against state
socialism and one-party rule.

farm in western Minnesota. His edu-
cation was had in the beginning in

COUNTY SEAT
FIGHT is ON
Solen and Selfridge After Scalp
Of Ft. Yates

'Selfridge, N. 3D., May 8.-Solen and
Selfridge will endeavor to win the
seat OF Sioux county away from Fort
Yates at the coming primary elections.
Selfridge has continuously contested
the right of Fort Yates to the county
seat which was originally designated
by Governor Hanna's appointees as
commissioners when the district was
organized. -
Recently passed statutes provide
that county seat contender must
receive petitions from five-eighths of
the number of voters who cast ballots
at the last preceding general election.
The situation provides race between
Selfridge and Solen to determine
which may be able to secure the sigma
lures needed, the law itself precluding
the possibility Of a three-cornered
fight on a removal question.
Selfridge has named a campaign

Genoa, May (By the A. P)-Prime
Minister Lloyd George of Great Bri-
tain and Foreign Minister Schanzer
Of Italy addressed today a strong ap-
peal to the Russian representatives at
the conference here urging them to
accept the allied memorandum in its
main points and promising Russia an
international loan.
This was with the understanding
that the leading countries would thus
provide funds for the reconstruction
of Russia.
The allies would claim the right to
make sure, however, that the money
loaned was actually invested in the
work Of reconstruction.
1t was asserted that although the
proposed loan would amount to 300,-
100000 gold francs it has been declared
that the Russians were asking for
three billion g~'' rubles or 25 times
as much as the allied offer.
The Russian delegation had pre7i-
ously issued a statement denouncing
the efforts it alleges France and Bel
GUM Nah made to wreck the confer
ence. The statement called attention
that these powers were predicting
that Russia's refusal to accept the
memorandum would break up the con-
ference when they had not themselves
signed the memorandum.
NJ. Tchitcherin, it was learned, had
received instructions from Premier
Lenine which are reported to embody
an emphatic order not to accept clause
one of the allied memorandum which
Borbids Bolshevistic propaganda

her boundaries and asks Russian neu-
trality between the Turks and the
