ers besides several individuals in
clude the Equity Exchange, cor.

of North Dakota. The officers and
directors are made defendants. The
complaint says that the directors
and officers induced many to turn
over their grain to pool to be di

es were sustained.
The main contention in the peti.
tion is that the officers and direct.
ors attempted by means of the grain
pool to get larger profit than by
handling individual accounts and in.
stead of profit losses which were
suffered and were shouldered ON
the Equity Cooperative Exchange
stockholders.
The petition alleges that the mo.
ney of the corporation was reck-
essly squandered, credit extended
to irresponsible firms without ade.
quate security, and that they Dor,
rowed money on the Grain pool
and defrauded the petitioners and
other stockhold and grain men.
AS the result of such operations
the petition sites stock as worthless
and the firm as insolvent.
Attorneys for the petitioners ask
for temporary receiver, pending
the return of an order signed by
Judge Olin B. Lewis, citing the de-
PENDANTS to appear Saturday to
show cause why receiver should
not be named.
Judge Lewis decided that the
naming of temporary receiver shall
go over until the hearing Saturday.

COMMITTEE IN
HOUSE VOTES
FOR MASK BILL
No Dissent on Approval OF
Senate Bill 14-Anti Ku
klux klan Bill
MAY HAVE NEW BILL
Amendment Requiring Secret
Societies to Make Report
Is Suggested

Without dissenting the state
affairs committee of the house ni
representatives today agreed to re
port for passage Senate Bill Ia; the
anti-mask bill opposed by the AZ
Klux Klan.
At the same time Rep. A. B. Jack
son of Ramsey, Ind, indicated his
intention to introduce another bill
for the control of secret societies
operating in North Dakota. This pill
would provide that all secret socie
ties must register with the attor-
ney-general and file with him q
complete list of their branches, and
the members of each branch
throughout the state.
An amendment to this effect was
offered by Mr.. Jackson today when
Senate Bill IA came up before the
house committee. L. L. Twichell
chairman of the committee pointed
out however that such an amenl-
ment would be>inconsistent with the
title of the present bill. Mr.. Jackson
thereupon withdrew his amendment
but indicated that he would proba-
bly, introduce in the house new
bill covering the points indicated.
'In my opinion such law would
be real protection to any legiti-
mate organization" said Mr.. Jack
son. "If any outrages occur the, rec
ords would be available to clear up
the question of whether the men
who perpetrated them were members
of secret society. If it is shown
that they are not, then that clears
the society of all blame"
The motion for the favorable re
port on Senate Bill IA was made by
Rep. Harrington Of Burleigh county
and American Legion man. 1t car
ried without opposition.
The committee also voted to re-
commend for passage House Bill 11d
providing for the appointment of q
special assistant attorney general to
assist the state railway commission
in it's work out will recommend II.
B. 125 providing for the hearing of
complaints by special examiners de.
signated by the board of commits
sioners for indefinite postponement.
Senate Bill so dealing with the
qualifications of legal newspapers
will be recommended for passage, as
will Senate Bills, 25 and 68 validat-
ing the acts Of certain school dis
tricts in connection with the issu-
ahce of bonds and warrants.

NEA Staff Correspondent


Washington, Jan. 31.--Ihe Ger
mans, known since the beginning
of modern warfare as the worlds
most orderly and methodical fight
ers, may become the worlds most
disorderly fighters.
This is the prophecy of experts of
the War Plans Division of the Unit
ed States army general staff who
have given careful study to the mil
itary situation in Germany.
The intcnsively drilled Prussian
soldier may become super-guerilla
carrying on irregular fignting of a
type hitherto unknown, they say.
All this, if Germany, goaded by
French encroachments, decides to
replace it's present passive resist
ance with active resistance.
Army regulations prohibit these
officers from being quoted directly.
But I am to present digest OF the
opinions of high officers secured in
a series of interviews.
Can't Risk New War
Germany knows she cannot
match arms with France in new
war;" these officers agree.
"She has no heavy artillery, no
tanks, no aircraft. ...
"Sne has an army of 100000, al
lowed by the treaty, and guard and
police forces that might serve as
nuclei for reorganization of Scon-
siderable part, Of the old army.
Granted she has even large guam
titles of rifles, machine guns and
even small artillery hidden away, it
is certain /she mas not now and cam
not obtain quickly heavier fighting
equipment, - artillery, airplanes
tanks-to confront France along a
given line.
No Natural Line
"Also, beyond the Rhine, there is
no natural line of resistance this
side of the Elbe. And a stand at the
Elbe would leave more tnan half of
Germany in French occupation.
even should the army of Russia,
reputed at 100000, join hands with
Germany, still France would be mill
tary master.
with a highly organized and
equipped army of 100000, with artil-
lery, aircraft and chemical warfare
equipment and material in abun-
dance, France could sweep through
Germany as Germany swept through
Belgium.
"The German knows the futility
of any attempted general military
resistance.
"But, deprived of materials for his
factories, fuel for his homes and in
dustries, it is possible even the dis
ciplined, stoical German would
reach stage of frenzy and desper-
alton which would goad him, to open
revolt even in the face of recognized
military disaster. ,.
"In that event German resistance
would doubtless take the form Of a
super-guerilla warfare, with no
large concentration of troops, no
battles fought to conclusive victor
les, but constant raids, slashing, jab-
bing, wearing down of French re-
sistance, necessitating the maximum
effort by France to maintain her oc-
cupation.
"Such a situation does not fit in
with German psychology. He does
not want to invite ruin to his cities,
disaster to his industries. He likes
to fight like ne works, in an order

The Public and Crime.

At the recent annual meeting of the Amer
lean Bar Association a special committee
made report in which the public was charg-
ed with responsibility for increase in crime.
That there is increase in crime was proven
by statistics covering the whole country, an
increase which statistics show considerably
exceeds increase in population. The report
declared that there is too much apathy on
the part of the people toward enforcement of
the law.
The public as a whole gives very little at
tention to law enforcement There are organ
izations formed for the purpose of supporting
enforcement of this law or that, and still 9th
ers which, in a general way, advocate enforce
ment of all laws But the great mass of the
people regard law enforcement the duty OF
police authorities and, while they do not OPP
pose law enforcement, they expect more OF
their police officials than they are warranted
in expecting They do not seem to appreciate
the necessity of supporting their officers by
giving them the material assistance they
should.
This failure on the part OF the people led
the American Bar Association to make sur
vey of the crime situation. This survey in
cluded the attitude of the people toward law
enforcement The natural deduction from the
facts as discovered resulted in the charge
made, and also in this statement: There must
be an awakening to civic duty and political
obligations" And the association to this end
proposes standard code of criminal pro

A Cottonless Farm.
From the Savannah Press

Is a cottonless farm in Georgia feasible
and can it be made profitable? From Twiggs
county comes the answer in the affirmative.
There is such farm near Jeffersonvile and
it is both profitable and successful. J. R.
Cook is the Georgia planter who has shown
what can be done on cottonless acreage. d.
S. McGhee the county agent OF Twiggs, tells
how he does it. And this is the way:
Mr. Cook has diversified his crop through
a wide range of products, and consequently
is in better shape this fall than the cotton
farmers of his section. His products have
been conservatively estimated as worth more
than $4,000.
Sixty acres of peanuts that will produce
more than twenty-five bushels to the acre,
100 acres of peavine hay already saved, $50
acres of corn with velvet beans and peas
two acres of sugar cane, which will make
seventy live gallons to the acre, four acres of
sweet potatoes, thirty acres of oats with a
bumper crop are all among the products OF
Mr. Cooks farm this year.
Besides the foregoing, Mr.. Cook has 5000
bearing peach trees on his place. He carries
a yard of 800 Rhode Island Red hens, for
which he has a modern poultry yard, with
incubators and breeders. About fifty hogs
and forty head OF, cattle also add to Mr..
Cooks income
