Worlds Largest and Swift.
est Airplane Carrier
Launched Today
(By The Associated Press)

Camden, N. j., April THE Sara
toga, the worlds greatest and swift
est airplane carrier, was launched at
the New York Shipbuilding Corpor-
alton yards at l:18 p. m. today.
Mrs. Curtis D. Wilbur, wife Of the
Secretary Of the Navy, acted as spon-
sor at the christening ceremonies
with high officials of the navy and
other departments witnessing the
event.
A sister ship, the U. S. S. Lexing-
ton, is to be launched this fall at
Quincy, Mass. Originally these two
vessels were to have been battle
cruisers, but under the arms limita-
tion treaty they were converted into
airplane carriers before their con-
struction was far advanced. When
completed, and commissioned late in
1926, the Saratoga will be the larg-
est and fastest craft of its kind in
the world.
AS the newest addition to the Amer
lean Navy started to slide gracefully
into the Delaware river, the sponsor
Of the ship, Mrs. Curtis d. Wilbur,
gave the great ship her name.

AUTO TRAVEL
OPENS EARLY
Traffic West Expected To
Soon Be On With Rush

Tourist traffic is opening excep-
tionally early this year and is ex-
pected to be on with rush in
few weeks, according to information
reaching here. Officials of automo-
bile clubs throughout the country
predict that the travel will be heav-
ier this year than ever before and
the National Parks Highway is ex-
pected to get it's share Of the traf-
fic.
No work toward preparing the Bis
marck free tourist camp for the sea-
son has been done but the Associa-
tinn of Commerce will have the place
ready by May l. The Bismarck As
sociation Of Commerce may decide
to follow the lead of many other ci-
ties throughout the country in max
ing q charge to tourists for stopping
at the camp. 1t has been pointed out
that this plan eliminates many of
the Objectionable tourists who will
make camp by roadsides rather than
pay fee.
Reports reaching here are that
there is already considerable trafz
fic west, although few people real
ize that the route is OPEN and pass
able. A letter received here from
D. P. Bates, secretary of the Cham
Der of Commerce at Livingston,
Mont, states that the road is very
fair from Fargo through to Seattle.

He Understands Farmers Problems
By CHARLES p. STEWART
NEA Service Writer

Washington. Aprily 7.-Starting
from scratch" in sod house, on
unbroken land, poor as Jobs turkey
practically without equipment, remote
from markets, lonely, unorganized
and unaided, the American farmer
achieved degree Of prosperity. un,
equaled by the tiiler OF the soil any.
where else on earth at any time in
history.
Today. heavily capitalized, com.
fortably, even luxuriously housed
phonograph playing the latest music
into his ears, his automobile wait
ing at the door, his acres under in
tensive cultivation, every facility for
getting maximum crops, money in

radio with wheat pit and stockyard
backed by powerful cooperative Or
ganizations and advised by expert $
under the direction of cabinet
member all his own, the American
farmer finds it hard to make ends
meet.
Why is this thus?
simply" answers William NJ
Jardine, the new secretary Of agri-
culture, because farming isn't an
occupation at which it's easy to grow
rich, and it wasn't farming which
made, for Americas early farmers
their fortunes of today.
Land Brought Riches
"They grew rich through the in
crease in the value Of their land,
given to them by the government at
the start.
II know Of many farmers whose
farms yielded them only bare livings
and who yet attained wealth from
this unearned increment.
ITO engage in farming in this
generation involves a considerable
investment. Land is high and even
the tenant farmer must buy himself
an expensive equipment.
Making reasonable interest on
this investment is harder than it
was for the farmer of three or four
decades ago to take living from
land which cost him next to nothing
and was becoming more valuable
every year. 1t calls for more eff
cheney.
Why. Cities Draw
1T accounts also for the tendency
toward congestion in the cities. City
life is easier. The city dweller need
invest hardly anything, not even in
home. /, He rents one, furnished
perhaps. He works for an employer,
who provides him with everything
necessary to enable him to earn his
pay.
THE farmer sees another thing =
that the city workers income is
larger than his own. 1t attracts him
to the city all the more.
"Then there are educational ad-
vantages for children, in the cities.
Even with modern means of COM
munication and travel, they're not
obtainable on the farm to the same
degree. That item counts.
1.-The lights of the city are allur-
Farms Advantages
Eyes. the city has arguments on
its side.
But so has the farm The farmer
inclines to think much of his diff
culties; little Of his advantages.
"The city man makes more than
the farmer but it costs him more to
live, perhaps so much more that, in
the end, the farmer is financially
better off.
"And the farmer is his own mas
ter, living in his own house on his
own land. He has his own vege-
tables. his own flowers, his own
snowdrifts, his own fresh air, his
own birds. For these things the
city offers no substitutes to the av-
erage man.
"The point make is that the
farmer. in considering his grounds
Tor discontent. shouldn't forget his
compensations."

April IL, Central time instead of
Mountain time, will be adopted in
Williston. The city commission
adopted resolution to this effect,
after a petition signed by practically
all Of the business interests Of the
city had been presented.
The Williston baseball club was
largely instrumental in launching the
movement to change the time there
by making evening games possible
during the, coming summer.
An effort may be made to have the

thorize changes in the Great North

RUSSIA TOLD
TO BE READY

Frunse Sees Possibility of
Sudden Attack at Border
in Near Future
(By The Associated Press)

Moscow. April 7.--General Frunse
Commissar of War, warns the Rus
sian people to be prepared for war
which he believes may come as un-
expectedly as in 1914.
Addressing supporters Of the Rus
sian volunteer air fleet last night
the war chief declared that the re-
cent meeting of the general stats of
the Baltic states at Helsingfors, to-
gcther with the murder of two Com
munist officers on the Polish border
showed that Russia must be prepar-
ed to meet attacks from any quarter
at any moment.
Although he believed the entente
countries were too occupied in econ.
omic affairs to engage in immediate
warfare, he did not rule out the
possibility Of attack from them in
the future,

Pasque Flower
Brings Easter
To The Hills

Easter has come to the hill
side! During the last few days
clusters of the little purplish
basque flower have sprung up to
dot the still -colored prairie
slopes with color. Earliest of wild
flowers in the state, the short,
fuzzy stemmed basque flower, or
crocus, as it is often called, ap-
pears usually within three or four
days after the ground stops freez-
ing at night. Like the robins and
the larks, they tell spring is
here.
Not for several weeks to come
will any other wild flowers ap-
pear to join the Easter blooms.
But the basque one may gather
anywhere on the hills just a mile
or two from town. Yesterday
they were plentiful on the Hay
creek slopes. Clustered in shal.
low bowls cfocuses carry spring
indoors.
One finds now. too, along the
river banks the fuzzy pussy.wil-
lows which alone, or mingled with
cut tulips and jonQuils from the
hot.houses, adds variety to. flow

FOR DISCARD

To Follow Trotsky Into
Political Oblivion
(By The Associated Press)


Moscow, April Karl Radek, who
has exercised an influence in the Boil
shevik world second only to the in
fluence of Trotsky. appears to be
destined to follow the former Soviet
war minister into political oblivion.
The all-powerful Central Control
Commission of the Communist Party
passed resolutions yesterday roundly
condemning Radek's attempts to
create factional strife within the
German Communist Party and he was
warned that if he continues to op-
pose the present Central Committee
OF the German Communist Party, he
will be dismissed from membership
in the Russian Communist Party. He
is of Polish Jewish origin and is re-
garded as one Of the most brilliant
writer's and speakers of present day
Russia.
