OBSOLETE ARMY POSTS
ABANDONMENT URGED

A plea for the abandonment OF
obsolete army posts where troops
are now quartered in constant
danger to their health was made
to the Joint Military Affair com
mittee Of Congress yesterday by Gen
eral Melan Craig, Chief of Cavalry,
and General William j. Snow. Chief
of Field Artillery.
The generals described conditions
at some Of the American army
posts as "frightfui" and horrible. ''
They said soldiers were forced to
sleep in dilapidated wooden can
tonments devoid Of sanitary facili.
ties and in constant menace to
their health. They recommended
passage of a bill authorizing sale
Of surplus war properties and use
Of proceeds to build modern army
posts.

Library Corner

A week ago we appealed to the
citizens of Bismarck to deposit, as
a permanent loan in the city library,
books of fiction which, when once
read, are ordinarily put aside and
not used or read second time. For
all the books in that list there was
and is large demand, which, how
ever, cannot be met because it has
not been possible to keep the shelves
up to date on account Of a limited
appropriation.
Here is another hist. Please look
this through and if you have some
of the books named and are through
with them, put them where the pat
rons of the public library may have
the benefit--as a permanent loan on
the library shelves.

state and placed John Burke in the
executive office from 1907 to 1912,
he said.
The cleavage which characterized
the Republican party in 1906 later
grew into the movement from which
the Nonpartisan league sprang in
1916, Murphy said.
The great fight in the ranks of
the North Dakota G. O. P. two dec
AIDES ago was to wrest control of the
party from the grip Of Alex McKen-
Zie, leader Of the stalwarts, the DEM
ocratic committeeman stated. Nc
Kenzie held control Of the old-line
organization up to the election Of
John Burke, who rode into office on
the support of rebellious wing Of
the Republican party. He sees a
chance Of duplicating that feat next
year.
Justice Burke will not enter the
race for U. S. Senator next year,
Murphy said, but the Democrats will
get together behind whatever candi-
date offers the best chance of win
ming.
"Therc are good prospects for a
Democrat victory in the 1926 elec-
tions," he asserted, "and the party
is getting ready to stage a real I~oe
for Senator.

Minnesota. where the farmers de-
pended for revenue largely on grain,
is now leading the country in pro-
duction Of creamery hutter. Dairying
has not displaced grain, but has sup
plemented it until the dairy products

ing 500, 1905
Encouraged by consistently high
prices of dairy products farmers in
Iowa, the banner corn state of the
union, have turned more and more to
dairy farming so that the state now
ranks second only to Minnesota in
production of creamery butter. Carl
\. Kennedy, assistant secretary of
the Iowa department of agriculture,
said that Iowa rrcameries produce
annually 10000 900 pounds Of butter,
returning to farmers $50 ,0O0. 900. and
that the dairy industry in Iowa is
still on the increase.
Iowa officials say the realization
that the oNe-Crop Of grain system of
farming does not pay has been an
important factor in encouraging Iowa
farmers to go into dairying. The
Iowa officials point out also that
grain farming does not add to the
fertility of the soil. and does not fur
nsh a steady income throughout the
year as does dairyinE.
Add Stability
A. L. Hacker. secretary Of the Ne
hraska Creamery association, re-
ports an increase Of 20 per cent in
dairy COWS in Nebraska during the
last five years. Mr. Hacker adds:
"The stability of Nebraska dairy
inc ONE throughout the recent dcpres-
sion saved hundreds Of farmers who
depended on their dairy herds to
tide them over. The revenue Of Ne
braska from butter alone represents
about 100000 600 annually. This year
the indications point to probable
increase of to > per cent in this
amount"
Reports from Pierre, capital Of
South Dakota, say the dairying III
dustry in that state is in its infancy,
but that the state department Of ag-
riculture hopes soon TO help augment
dairy farming.

PLAN TO ENTER
CANDIDATE FOR SENAT0RSHIP
IN 1926 CONTEST, MURPHY SAYS
Jeersonian Party Hopes to Profit by Bitter Struggle For
Senate Next Year, Committeeman States

Prospects for return to power Of
the democratic party in North Da-
kota are bright, R. B. Murphy, chair
man Of the state board Of admins
tration, and democratic national
committeeman, said today.
The party which three times sue
cessively elected John Burke, now
supreme court justice, to the COVER
norship, is laying plans to enter the
race for U. s. Senator.
Anticipating bitter struggle for
the senatorship in the 1926 election,
the democrats are preparing the
ground with view to entering a
candidate in the final race.
Murphy sees no-quarter contest
in both the Nonpartisan and Inde-
pendent wings Of the G. O. P. to the
extent that Democrat dark horse
may stand chance Of romping into
office.
The Democratic party has always
profited by internecine strife within
the ranks Of the Republican organ
ization in North Dakota, Murphy
pointed out.
