Manager Bush has issued an
order that every player in the
squad will have to engage in sliding
drills. This includes even the
pitchers. Hughey Jennings, when
managing the Tigers, used to have
the players work in the sliding pit
for an hour at a time. Bush, while
not likely to make the drill that
long, will insist on having every.
body learn sliding.
Every player with a regular
job" says Bush, should know
how to slide on the bases. Rice is
good on his rigN side, but not so
good on his left. He must learn
to be equally good on both sides.
Goslin is terrible. He'll break his
leg sure as fate unless he learns
to slide. He broke his wrist last
year because he didn't know how
to get back to third base up there
in Boston. It's much the same
with the other players.

today wher l.. F.. Swift, president of
Swift and Company, said that his

"Such attempted regulation of

conflict Of regulation and the con-

said. at will probably be necessary
to let the courts decide this issue"

given until November % by Secre-
tary Wallace to open Their. books
and records to auditors of the De-
rar;ment of Agriculture before ac-

Governor Nestos was given most

FARMERS TOLD
OF BARBERRY
Warning Given All Over
Northwest, Is Assertion

St. Paul, Nov. 2l-Delegates
from 13 north central states at
tending the third annual confer
ence for the prevent on of grain
rust today were told by Harrison
Fuller, director of the organiza-
ton, that every farmer in the mid
die west who can read has been
informed of the connection be-
tween the common barberry bush
and black stem rust.
With losses from black stem
rust estimated to amount to 5O,-
100000 annually the conference
was organized to convince the
grain growers that common bar
berry bushes are mainly respon-
sible for the wheat disease.
The unan NOUS opinion of agri-
cultural scientists that stem rust
losses may be reduced to negligible
proportions by barberry eradica-
tion has been widely disseminated,
Mr.. Fuller said. The story has
been carried by some 5000 news
papers in the North Central re-
gion and the conference has dis
tributed nearly 2,000,D0O pieces
of literature on the subject.

RED CROSS IN
STATE. GAINS
MEMBERSHIP
IS Per Cent Advance in Red
Cross Memberships Over
Last Year Stirs Workers

The accomplishment of North
Dakota, which shows 45 per cent
advance in Red Cross memberships
over last year, has bestirred the
workers in the other states of the
middle west which compose the
Central Division Of the organiza-
ton. According to Walter David
son, manager Of the Division fore
casts of exceeding the present
membership are being borne out
by early returns from state Roll
Call headquarters.
"The better organization~of Roll
Call and the reviving influences
of the recent Japanese relief coup
led with the active cooperat.o .on of
state and city officials, the Amer
lean Legion and civic clubs have
instilled an enthusiasm which can
not be denied" said Mr.. Davidson
at his Chicago office today. He
anticipates no difficulty in reach
ing the quota of 100000 men,
bers in the Division.
WOTu comes from SOuLn l)dkOCa
that even the most remote places
in the state are organized to carry
on active campaigns and that a
200 per cent increase over last
years membership is expected.
Equally encouraging reports are
being received daily from Nebras-
ka, where cne county enrolled 49,
600 members in one day; from
Wyoming where every county in
the state is responding; from Mon
tana where memberships started
to come in before the campaign
actually began.
Iowa is confident of securing
100000 members and Illinois fol-
lowing the lead Of Chicago is piling
up memberships towards it's quota
of 100000. Michigan citizens fol-
lowing the appeal of their COVER
nor are responding to the call of
the chapters in the most generous
manner while reports from Mime
sofa and Wisconsin show that
membership commensurate with
the population of those states will
be maintained.
Mr.. Davidson says the peak of
the campaign has not yet been
reached and that this week will
see decided increase in returns
from all states.

Fargo, N. d., Nov. 2l.-Proposals
for aid to North Dakota agriculture
as laid before President Coolidge last
Saturday in Washington by DR.. John

Agricultural college following the
return Of DR.. Coulter from the East

President Coolidge, DR.. Coulter re-
ports, discussed the proposals of the

could explain the proposals in detail
A written transcript of the plans and
a full explanation of how they would
benefit the agriculture of THE state
Of North Dakota were left with Pres
ident Coolidge.
"The chief executive seemed deep
ly interested in the plans for relief
of the North Dakota farmers and,
am sure, will give these plans con-
sideration," said DR.. Coulter. 81 al
SO explained the plans to Secretary
Of Agriculture Wallace and the secre-
tary took notes on the proposals and
will doubtless give them some con-
sideration at the proper time.@
The proposed plan as submitted by
DR.. Coulter and as carefully prepared
by the staff Of the North Oak ota
Agricultural college, station and ex-
tension staffs, intends to accelerate
the diversified program of the state
by providing a loan fund for farm.
ers.. This livestock purchasing fund
will be operated similarly to the fed
eral seed loans of other years.

BARELY SHOWN
Counsel for Investigating
Committee Says More Evi-
dence Is at Hand
TO BE, CONSIDERED

Washington, Nov. 21.--(By the
A. P.)-With the public hearings
virtually ended counsel for the Sem
ate Veterans committee began today
the task of shaping up for the con-
sideration of the committeeman the
vast volume Of information gathered
in the investigation Of the activities
of the Veterans Bureau, put under
way last March. The inquiry was
conducted simultaneously in practi-
cally every state in the union
and eliminated in charges of cor
ruption, waste; debauchery and in
trigue.
With the closing of the public ses-
sions, John F. Organ of New York
City, general counsel, told the com
mittee last night that what had been
presented publicly constitutes but
a fragment Of what has been devel-
oped both in relation to- the neglect
and waste in the Bureau"
The information collected both in
the central Office and in the field
would be considered by the commit
tee at business sessions during the
next three weeks.
In its investigation the commit
tee has been assisted by volunteer
field organization Of more than 900
persons, including doctors, lawyers,
business men and former service
men, which was built up by General
Organ. Commenting upon the work
of this organization General Organ
in his closing statements to the com
mittee declared that the reports of
these men can be relied upon both
as to accuracy and disinterestedness. "

Check-up Shows That Many
of Them Put Teams to

Sixty-one percent of the teams en-
ployed on state highway construction
in North Dakota during the past
season were farmer owned teams and
81 percent Of the labor was from the
farms of the state, w. G. Black,
chief engineer of the state highway
commission, declared upon checking
QUESTIONABLE. Mr.. Black said it
was especially gratifying to the de-
partment to find contractors giving
North Dakota farmers an opportun-
ity to work teams on the roads, and
he anticipates the policy will be con-
tinued in the future.
In view of the larger program of
farm Work for the next year, it is
anticipated that more jobs wilr be
created for farm labor, he said.
