of good seed corn, there is every
reason for the farmers OF, this state

farmers have recently purchased seed
corn from North Dakota farmers and
this market can be extended so that
it may cover states of the Northwest
as we'll as Canada.
The showing at Chicago may te a
good advertisement for North Dako-

ster. In answer to many letters of
inquiry as to the kind of exhibits to

is SOUGHT
New State Librarian to Ask
Aid Of Others

Cooperation of Librarians through
out the state and special efforts to
serve communities without local IL
brary facilities will be the general
policy of Miss Lillian Cook, who has
assumed the position Of director Of
the state library commission, she
said today.
ut is only with the closest cooper
alton and esprit de corps of all IL
brary workers in the state that ef-
fective work can be done by the IL
brary commission, in that the state
is short in Libraries which have been
kept from building up because of
limited funds and the rapidly in
creasing cost of material" said Miss
Cook.
There is no question but that real
service can be rendered the state be-
cause libraries all over the state al
ready have pledged the most cordial
cooperation with the commission.
Miss Cook said that she will en-
deavor to improve relations with the
more isolated communities. Where
ever there is q library, reference
work will be done through that IL
brary in order that the limited re-
sources of the state commission may
be directed toward aiding the COM
munities without libraries, she said
While every endeavor, will be made
to supplement small Libraries, she
added, the chief endeavor will be ia
those who look to the commission
solely for assistance.
Miss Cook, through experiepce in
Minnesota, is conversant with the
needs of rural communities in IL
brary work.

LA TOILETTE
IN PLEA FOR I
GERMAN HELP
Senator Says That American
People Ought to Prevent
Starvation in Germany
OTHERWISE,
Senator, Returning From
Europe, Says He Will De-
vote Life to Present Cause

Portland, Me-, Nov. 2.-Senator
Robert M. LaFollette of Wisconsin
returning today on the United States
liner George Washington after three
months in Europe told newspaper
men that what he had seen overseas
made him "more determined than
ever to devote whatever power I
possess to bring our government
back to the people,"
He said he was prepared to spend
the balance of his life in combating
with renewed energy "the forces that
are tending to undermine and des-
troy in the United States the Amer
lean tradition Of government"
In making an appeal for American
aid for the people Of Germany, Sen
ator .LaFollette said:
Delay means the possible over
throw of government; dissolution,
chaos, civil war and hell let loose
in Europe"
Il feel bound" he said, in a pre-
pared statement" to avail myself Of
this first opportunity upon my re-
turn to appeal directly to the men
and women of our country to help
the unfortunate people of Germany.
Wholly aside from the issues involv-
ed in the war common humanity calls
upon the American people to aid the
German people in their dire need, to
aid them now" AZ

RUSSIA
MUCH VISITED
BY OUTSIDERS
Many Views Aired by Visitors
From All Parts of the
i Country

Moscow. Nov. 2.-Soviet Russia has
been SO full of American visitors,
commercially, politically and aItis-
tically inclined, during the past
summer that more versions of the
truth about Russia" are likely to
be aired in the United States dug
ing the coming winter than ever be-
fore.
Divergent views have been express
ed here. and views equally divergent
will be carried away. Some of the
American visitors who talked only
with disgruntled business men, or
whose own pet schemes went away
because of some government code de-
signed to prevent exploitation and
profiteering, probably will call Rus
sia all sorts Of names and paint the
country as a huge. Bolshevik viper
waiting to sink its MARKHAM fangs in
to the world.
Visitors artistically inclined found
painting, music, the drama, and the
ballet in Moscow better than any,
where in the world, and these i'm
pressions will color all they have to
tell their friends. s
Many others found the Soviet gov
ernment firmly planted on strong
feet, with no evidences in sight of an
overthrow, while not few were i'm
pressed by the great size of the
country and its future possibilities.
The finding Of the needle in the
haystack' would be simplicity itself
compared to reaching unanimity Of
opinion about the desirable and un-
desirable traits Of Russian Bolshe-
vism.

1000 MILE
PAVED ROAD
Last Barrier and Detour Sign
Removed from Pacific
Highway

Portland, Ore, Nov. 2.-The Pa
cific Highway, the longest hard sur
faced Highway in the world is now
a reality. On October 25th, the last
barrier and detour sign was removed
and with elaborate ceremonies the
1000 mile scenic highway from Can
ada to Mexico was formally opened
to uninterrupted traffic.
The celebration began at Olympia,
the capital of Washington, and end
ed two days later at Salem, the cap
:tol of Oregon. The biggest feature
of the celebration, however, centered
around t7fe burial of "Old Mar De-
tour" symbolized by a stuffed figure
of man, who was tossed over the
side of the mile long interstate
bridge at Portland, which spans the
Columbia river and connects Oregon
and Washington.
Here representatives from Oregon,
Washington and California conduct
ed the mock funeral while tens OF
thousands of spectators substituted
cheers for tears when Old Man De-
tour, we'll decorated with broken
auto springs apd detour signs, was
lowered to final rest under the waters
of Americas second largest river.
Old Man Detour's interment marks
the culminat.o1 OF more than 20
years Of approximately $3O,OO0,O00
in Oregon and Washington alone.
But the results have proved worthy
of the effort because it has given
to America scenic highway that
challenges the admiration Of the
world. 1t includes every type
of scenery from gentle farm lands
to massive mountains white with
glaciers. 1t traverses plains,
plunges through great forests,
hugs the walls of huge canyons,
skirts beautiful :aHes, and from it
radiate other paved highways that
carry one to ocean, mountain or
desert. In less than four hours
drive from Portland, Oregon, for ex-
ample, one can be bathing in the
ocean, or climbing snow capped
mountains, or hunting in mountain
fastness, or yachting or picking fruit,
as desired.

SEE CHANGES
IN APPROVAL
OF BIG BILLS
Senators Frown Disapproval
on Method of Allowing
$4,000 Vets Bureau Bills

Washington, Nov. 2.-Recommen-
dation for legislation limiting the
authority Of the comptroller-gener-
ais office in the settlement of
claims against the government are
forecast as result of disclosures
before the senate committee investi-
eating the Veterans Bureau.
Sharp questioning and comment by
senators followed the frank state
ment to senators yesterday by w. B.
Gordon, an attorney in the comp
troller's office whose salary is 49,
600 year, that he had settled a
cltimfof $4,000 in full without ref
erence of the matter to his superior
or calling for detailed information
from the Veterans Bureau which dis
allowed the claim. The bill passed
upon was that of Matthew O'Brien,
San Francisco archits ct, who claim
ed tbs sum for rewriting plans for
q projected hospital at 'Livermore
California, for the original drafting
of which. the. Veterans Bureau al
ready had paid $4,000. Frank T.
Hines, director of the. bureau, disal-
lowed the claim and filed a counter
one for $4,000 against O'Brien on the
ground that he had been overpaid
for the first drawings. Charles r.
Forbes, former director Of the bur-
eau, whose name has figured extern
sively in the hearing has not yet in
dicated when he will appear to ans
wer the charges made against him
but he probably will not take the
stand until all matters relating to
him have been presented by investi-
gators for the committee.

WANTS TO GO TO HIS ESTATE

to do so on condition that he re-
main quietly at his upper Silesian
estate at Eols where it is said he
desires to settle down.
The question of granting the
Hohenxollern heirs permission to
return has been up for discussion.
The concensus of official opin-

ment in principal is net opposed to
his return which he is entitled to
as German citizen although
neither the present cabinet nor its
predecessor has definitely fixed a
date or made his returning a mat

1t was officially stated today
that no formal agreement had been
entered into between the present
