MELLON UNSHAKEN
OVER DAWES PLAN
DisagreeS With Economists
That Trouble Is Likely
in Exchange.

The Dawes plan for Europe is just
as promising, if not more promising,
today than ever, in the opinion of
Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon.
Disagreeing with recent predictions
of certain eminent economists that
difficulty would be experienced in 1927
in the matter Of exchange, when the
maximum payments fall due, Secre
tary Mellon expressed the opinion
that the Dawes plan was meeting
with success, and said he saw no
reason for any early distractions.
In general, he feels the plan is
working out the purpose for which it
was designed. to enable the creditors
Of Germany to get their money.
Germany now is producing at a
good rate, Secretary Mellon declared,
and is enjoying an increasing trade.
There is no reason, he added, why
the Dawes plan should not work.
No intimations have come to the
administration officially, it was said
at the Treasury, regarding the pro-
posed sale of German railway bonds
in this country Dispatches from
Europe have given increasing indica-
tions that the American Government
might be approached to determine
whether 1t would approve plan for
putting these bonds on the market.
1t was emphatically stated that the
Treasury has no official advices of
any kind on the matter and could
therefore. make no comment.

Operation On Mussolini Denied Despite
Report Noted Surgeon Is on Way to Italy

medical men regarding r proposed
operation on Mussolini. The Bund, a
Berne newspaper. said DR.. Sauer-
bruch had already left Munich for
Italy.
There have been reports from time
to time during the last two years
that the Fascist chief had some COM
plant of stomach or intestines that
would necessitate an operation. Each
report has met with prompt official
denial.
One version, emanating last Jan

was that Mussolini suffered from an
abscess of the duodenum. and that
specialists were not in agreement as
to whether he should undergo an
operation.

and organized by the election of
Hubert Loendorf as president and
John Schillinger as secretary and

The many details incident to
building the line were discussed
and the numerous bids for fur
nishing the material and labor
were considered. A wide range
was found in the bids. The con-
tract for the poles, wire and cleo
trical equipment complete was let
to the Western Electric Co., for
a trifle over $1,000. The contract
for hauling the material and con-
s~tructing the line was let to J.
P. Smith Of Beach N. D., for
S1.301. There will be a few other
small items Of expense that will
make the total cost of the line
nearly $4,000. This will leave
a surplus in the treasury of about
$500.
The new line will be &c p miles
in length. Thirty poles to the
mile will be used with a total of
$40 poles. most of them 20 feet
long, some Of them 25 feet long
and all Of them treated. Mater
ials will be Of the best and con
struction will be substantial and
first class. It is expected that
some of the material will be on
the ground by June 1st and that
the line will be in operation by
4th. The river will be
crossed at the Wolf Point ferry
and the graded county road, which
is the Vida-Wolf Point mail
route, will be followed with a
short deviation at the Shoemaker

Considerable anxiety was felt
in some quarters for the safety
Of the explorers as a storm was re-
ported raging in the region the
Norge was expected to enter aft
ter leaving Point Barrow behind.
Acquaintance of Amundsen, how
ever, expressed confidence that
the Norge would arrive at Nome
safely and it was felt that the de-
lay was due to Amundsen's de-
sire to swing out again over the
vast "blind spot" in the Polar sea
before ending his journey.
Radio stations of the navy and
army signal corps in Alaska had
been maintaining a 24-hour watch
for word from the Norge since
its departure. The Norge was re-
ported sighted over Point Barrow
once about the same time mes
sages attempting to establish COM
munication with the Nome station
were heard by naval stations on
st. Paul Island and HinchinBrookI
Island. From that time all trace
of the Norge was lost despite con-
slant efforts of the radio stations
in Alaska, Siberia and Canada to
pick up messages broadcast by the
airship.
Colonel Mobile, italian builder
of the Norge. was Amundsen's
chief pilot. Each other member
of the crew was chosen for his par
ticular fitness for the task as
I:
Food supplies for several months
and emergency equipment for use

present date and harvest, the May
[ condition indicates an average
yield per acre of little more thar
1873 bushels and a production OF
1885, 600 bushels. This estimate
compares with 2,828, 600 bushels
harvested in 1925 and the 10
year average production of u
773,000 bushels.
Damage to winter wheat as es-
timated on May l includes winter
losses as well as those in April.
Considerable Of the damage to
this years crop came in the spring
and largely as a result Of soil
blowing. The losses as a rule were
heavier in the important wheat
areas. Reports pointed to a loss
of 10 to Is per cent in the Gala
tin and upper Yellowstone valleys
and an average Of about 25 per
cent in the Judith Basin. Losses
elsewhere were generally below
this range and we're very light in
the counties west Of the CONT
mental divide.
The present outlook for the
winter wheat crop has been ma
terially improved by the recent
general rains where plants were
weakened by drought and dust
storms.
The Rye Crop
May j estimate of rye acreage
to be harvested for grain in 1926
and including both winter and
spring rye is placed at 10000
acres, or equal to the acreage
harvested in 1925 and comparing
with $4,000 acres harvested in
1924 and $4,000 acres in 1928.
Conditions of the crop on May
/ placed at SO per cent of a nor
NAL compares with 80 per cent
a year ago and the 10-year aver
age for May / Of 80. From May
l condition assuming average
variations between that date and
harvest, there is indicated an av-
erage yield per acre Of about 12.-
8 bushels and a production of L.
$4,000 bushels. In 1925, l.
100000 bushels were harvested
and the average production of the
past 10 years was 100000 bush
els.
Hay Condition And Stocks
Condition Of tame hay on May
1 is placed at 80 per cent Of al
normal and wild hay at 85 per
cent. Condition of all hay placed
at SO per cent of a normal COM
pares with 90 per cent a year ago
and the 19-year average for May
l Of 90 per cent. With the rains
that came after these reports were
tabulated grass generally has been
greatly benefited.
The carry over on May 1 of old
hay is placed at Is per cent Of
last years production or about
1890 tons. A year ago the
carry over was 404, 900 tons. In
general hay stocks are heavier in
the central and western sections
Of the state tapering off to very
light stocks in the eastern third
last years crop was short.
Farm labor supply for the state

Nature Study Glass

Something interesting is always
happening in the Normal Train
ing room. One morning last
week proved a time of great ex-
element when after three weeks
of patient watching and waiting
the advent of a beautiful Cecro-
pia moth was announced by a
shrill cry from one of the girls.
The silken cradle cocoon so long
occupied was at last empty and
nearby, clinging to the flower pot,
was a new born moth, wet and
wrinkled with its furry body un-
tidy. The wings. in their crumpled
state were slowly raised and low
cred and the long cross-striped
body was moved back and forth,
this motion soon causing the damp,
tiny creature to assume his natur-
al dry, velvety appearance with
colors of remarkable beauty and
harmony.
At intervals during the remain
der of the day the moth was
watched with great eagerness but
not until the following morning
amid many EXPLANATIONS from the
onlookers did it try to use its
large. beautiful wings.
The moth with-wings expanded
measured five inches across the
colors ranging from a soft grey
to a clay color with red and white
markings. There were four wings
and each was marked with a white
crescent outlined in red. The an
tennae seemed to be the most in
t~eresting part of the moth. They.
are long and very feathery. This
feathering appearance is n of
the distinguishing features of the
moth family.
The cocoon had been taken from
a fruit tree on the Appelgren
and was brought to the Ma
5ure Study class where it was
on the damp earth under
Meath a geranium plant. The APP
Dearance Of so wonderful a specie
was of great interest to the class
Is its kind has recently been
by them.
