LOW PRESSURE
WINS. BATTLE,
BRINGS SNOW
Western No. Dakota Covered
BY Blanket Brought in
BY Wintry Blast
GREAT AID TO CROPS
Snow Characterized as "Best
Thing That Could Hap
pen" at This Time
GREAT AID TO CROPS

It's all due to "Old Man Low Pres.
sure.
He smashed down the batteries OF
"Old Lady High Pressure" in the
eternal battle of air currents, and
spread blanket of snow over much
of the Northwest.
Rot only did "Old Man Low Pres
sure smash to victory, but he's go
ing to retain the victory for while
for the forecast is for more snow to-
night. About tomorrow old Lady
High Pressure is due for comeback
and the weather ought to begin to
clear up. 1t isn't going to be SO
terribly cold, either, the weather
prognosticators say. 1t may not even
be as cold tonight as last night.
Some kicked-those that had to
shovel the walks or plow through
drifts. But some didn't-and they in
cluded those who enjoyed a final
blast of winter as a reminder of what
they missed, and also the farmers
throughout the territory.
This is the finest thing that
could happen said o. w. Roberts,
weather observer. This snow is bet
ter than a rain. All the frost is out
of the top of the ground on account
of mild weather, and when this snow
melts the moisture will go right into
the ground. 1t is better than rain,
for more moisture will go into the
ground, and very little will evapor-
ate.
The snow was especially cheerful to
the farmers who have done their seed
ing, for the grain will germinate
quickly. 1t also will put the ground
in fine shape for future seeding op-
erations.
No Cold Wave
At II a. m. today it was % above,
the snow not being accompanied by
cold wave, and at that time about
two inches of snow had fallen. The
snowfall may reach several inches, if
predictions hold out. The lowest
temperature last night was 20 above.
The 'coldest spot in the Northwest
was above, in Winnipeg. 1t was "a
above at Williston last night and
20 above. at Fargo.
Fargo and jamestown reported
Show had not fallen at noon today.
The official explanation of the
snow is that trough of low pressure
extends over the Rocky Mountain re-
gion causing snow in the Plains
States, Rocky Mountain region and in
the north Pacific states. The pres
sure is. high. over the central Cana
dian Provinces.
Traffic Not Affected
500 line officials here said this
morning they did not expect traffic
to be seriously inpeded by, the snow,
unless it hangs on for two or three
days. The fact that there was no
snow against the snow FENCES and
Officials had chance to get plows to-
work minimized the possible ilI eff \
feet. The same report came from the
Northern Pacific lines.

TAX BODY TO
KEEP ON WITH
ITS PROGRAM
Failure to File Petitions For
GundersOn Law Does Not
End Its Work
PLAN LOCAL UNITS
Levies Already Being Reduced
in State Partly Through
Efforts, Says Head


Failure of the North Dakota Stat,
Taxpayers Association will not hal
the work of that association in ex
erting it's force for the reduction o
taxes throughout the state, A.
Martin of Sentinel Butte, president o
the association, declared before re
turning to his home. Mr.. Martin cam,
here yesterday expecting to receive
in the mails sufficient petitions tt
place on the ballot in June an ini.at
ed measure providing for a 25 per
cent reduction in taxes, with ccndi
tions excluding bond issues ana othel
standing debts on which interest anC
sinking fund levies must be made
and permitting districts to mnimiz,
the cut to 10 percent by vote.
81 had about 9,O40 signers on pc
titions and 10000 were required,
said Mr.. Martin, "and therefore coult
not file the petitions. The death OF
Mr.. Gunderson, who was the prcsi
dent of our association, disorganizeC
the work, the drawing of the bill and
preparation of petitions required time
and we were able to get the petitions
to the public barely 12 days ago, on
the 18th of March. The people sign
ed the petitions readily when they
we're presented and feel safe in say
ing that if we had had another week
to work we could have had $4,000
names on petitions without any trou-
ble."
November Uncertain
Whether the association will seek
to initiate the law at the NOvemt er
election is question, Mr.. Martin
said. A meeting of the taxpayers
organization will be held in the near
future, he said.
I'VE propose to perfect an organi-
zation in every county in the state"
said Mr.. Martin. There is very
great interest being shown in the
matter. We feel that levies this year
in the state will be reduced some
millions of dollars, and that the eff
forts Of our association counted
somewhat to this end.
DeIleVe really CONSCIENTIOUS
effort is. being made by local boards
all over the state, including scnool
boards, to reduce taxes, and I feel
that much good will come from the
widespread discussion"
Whether Mr.. Martin will continue
as president of the body is not de-
termined, he said. He succeeded J.
G. Gunderson, being vice president
at The time of Mr.. Gunderson's death,
but because of business interests in
Sentinel Butte he does not have d
great deal of time to give to the ORR
He explained thai one
of the purposes of the organization
had been to arouse interest in the
matter Of taxes, and he believes this
has been accomplished.
Ends Controversies
The failure to file the petitions
will remove discussion that has

K0TA
WHEAT ALONE
RECOMMENDED
Chairman of Agricultural
Credit Corporation States
That BOdy's Position
LOANS FOR NO. DAKOTA

! Minneapolis. Mimi, Mar. 2S-Deny
ing reports that the Agricultural
Credit corporation has recommended
kota wheat for North Dakota use
| and intends to finance purchase OF
its seed for widespread sowing, c. T
Jaffray, chairman of the corpora.
ton S directorate and executive com.
mite announced that the corporation
will finance Kota seed only for linn
tied amounts in small areas.
Mr.. Jaffray pointed out that the
corporation agricultural relief pro.
gram calls for cooperation with agro-
nomic experts, who have recommend
ed Kota seeding only in regions
where rust has made impracticable
the sowing of Marquis or Ruby
wheat. Loans to provide funds fo,
purchase of Kota seed were intended
to apply only to such sections, Mr.
Jaffray explained.
Jaffray's Statement.
His statement follows;
In reference to the Agricultural
Credit corporation giving aid to the
farmers of the Northwest by assist
ing in the distribution of good seed
tins corporation does not in any way
intend to recommend any particular
kind of seed and any publicity given
out that the corporation is specific
ally recommending Kota wheat as a
general substitute for Marquis wheat
is not warranted. The agronomc au-
thorities of the spring wheat seeds
are the persons who ought to decide
what seed farmers should be advised
to grow, and the credit corporation
is going to follow the recommends =
tions of these authorities,
For Use Only in Limited Areas
In the transaction lately consum-
mated, by which the corporation was
to loan some money to enable au-
thorities to furnish Kota wheat, it
was planned to serve only those re-
gions where the ravage of rust during
the past three years has made it i'm
practicable to grow the Marquis or
Ruby wheat, and even in these re-
gions where they have an early
spring to allow early seeding, the
authorities are recommending that
Marquis or Ruby be used on account
OF the greater returns received over
that of Kota.
Everyone realizes that Kota wheat
is still in the experimental stage as
to its economic value and therefore
this seed will be financed for only
limited amounts, and to be used in
limited areas.

RUSH TO EUROPE
SETS NEW RECORD
Hundreds Take Advantage
Of Cheap Rates.

Tourist travel from America TO
Europe this season will surpass all
records Of the past ten years. it is
estimated by New York steamship
companies. Figures will compare ia
vorably with pre-war records. they
said. Reason is attributed to lower
ing OF transatlantic fares, which
has made 1t nearly as cheap to go
abroad as to spend a vacation at
home
Owing TO drastic immigration re
striction some steamship lines have
transformed third.class sections to
accommodate tourists of limited
means. 1t is now possible to get a
third class round trip for $3.50.
Special inducements have been
made to encourage teachers, stu
dents. artists and others to travel.
Demand for third class reservation
next year is expected to be even
greater. Already a plan is on foot to
charter the entire third class section
Of one of the large steamers for a
large party Of students who will tour

SANITARY LAW IS
LAX IN INDIANA
State Among Few Using
Drinking Cup,

Indiana Is without adequate legis-
laton for the exclusion Of the com
mon drinking cup from public
schools. according 10 the New York
General Health Bureau OF the
forty eight States only six have
failed to take action against the com
mon drinking vessel, according to
the bureau. One Of these prohibits
its use in hotels, and four others in
Guiding Indiana have adopted the
standard railway code which re-
moves it from stations and cars.
The United States public health
service places responsibility for the
communication of many diseases to
common drinking cups that are i'm
properly washed. Among these mala-
dies are: tuberculosis, typhoid fe-
YER. scarlet fever, pneumonia, inf1u-
enza, diphtheria, measles. tonsilitis,
infantile paralysis, grippe and com
mon colds.
Health officials throughout the
country now are warning against this
spreader Of disease, as they find 1t
an agent in creating epidemics from
one State to another. Investigations
have proved that outbreaks Of dan.
gerous illness in schools and else
where are due to such common re-
ceptacles or to their use in public
soda fountains and other public
places.
