Good Old Summertime WiU Begin TonsorroaU With Longest Day

Tomorrow morning at just one minute past ten o'clock, Juneau time, will occur the summer solstice. In other words at that hour the sun will cease it's northward course and begin the return journey toward the south. Theoretically, at least, tomor- row will be the longest day, in point of the length of its daylight of the year, and will mark the end of spring and the beginning of summer.
 The sun will cross the equator on it's southward journey, September 23 and reach it's southernmost point for the year December 22.

WESLEY

Westby--The people of Westby in
Brush Lake. As it was an extremely
hot day many took to the water. In
the evening some made an attempt
to enjoy themselves at the dance hall.
Carl Gjesdal, the oldest son Of
Olav and Clara Gjesdal, residing five
miles northeast of Westby, lost his
life in Brush Lake on Sunday after
noon about $50 p. m. while out
swimming together with hundreds
of others in the water. 1t seems as tho
he got out a little too far and as he
was not an exerienced swimmer, he
could not save himself. He called for
help but as all were taken up with
their own fun, paid no attention to
Carl drowning. His body has not yet
been found. Later we will inform
our readers in regard to develop
ments in this tragedy. We all
sympathize with the Gjesdal family
in their bereavement. When all is
said, we fully agree that Carl was a
good boy and a most congenial fell
low. He was endowed with special Ia
Tents in certain lines, being excep-
tionally handy with mechanical tools
and would undoubtedly have made a
mark for himself in the line if he
had lived. Two years ago he con
structed a radio set which proved to
be a real success and was a credit
to him.

On Relief Debenture Clause

Board that is. in the main, farm
minded, | look for splendid and worth
while things to be accomplished un-
der this bill. | do not expect the
! President to appoint all farmers on
the board for ! expect he will want
upon that board men who are CONVEX
SAINT with trade and with business
generally but in the main, l expect it
to be a farmer Farm Board.
| think you will be interested in
knowing that there is some pros
pect for the appointment of our good
friend Congressman Sinclair of the
Third North Dakota District. His
presence upon that Board would serve
a splendid purpose and he could con-
tribute to the cause and understand
ing of the agricultural needs which
few others could afford. The Pres
ident, in a conference last evening
upon this matter, did not discourage
us with relation to Mr.. Sinclair's
chances. However, it may be expect
ing more than is in the cards to an
ticipate his appointment. Neverthe-
less, | have som hope that Sinclair
and his kind will find place upon that
Board.
| appreciate your informing me as
you did with respect to the views
of yourself and others upon the gen.
eral farm bill question.
Let us hope that the maximum Of
good may come from the bill as
it will under a properly manned
Farm Board.

bell ringing has been one Of the
most popular and pleasing forms OF
novelty m musical entertainment,
there are only three or four bell
ringing companies In the United
States.

leading bell ringers Of the country.
He has associated with himself IN
this organization three other enter

possesses cranial equipment OF the
highest order. In other words he
has brains and uses them. Pugh

His program this year is entirely

humorous sketches into a semi-seri-
GUS monologue about business and
business men or a community talk
that seems to cement town and
country. A few serious pieces, such
as THE Joy of Labor" or Van

his program and makes his wit all
the more sparkling.
Some OF Mr.. Pugh's most famous
humorous numbers include The

In this issue we publish a letter
from Senator Gerald p. Nye, giving
his impressions of the debenturt
plan, which readers of the Advance
will no doubt be glad to peruse-
We cannot follow with avidity The
reasons the senator gives for sup
porting the debenture plan: Il fell
that it would afford first and fore
most a splendid help to the very
people who have been at the base
of the cause for the farmers great
difficulties. l refer to the grain
trade and exporting interests. Tc
them, | felt, that debenture would
accrue as a benefit much more dl-
rectly than it would reach the farm
er and for a time | feared might
defeat the purpose of any farm bill
at all in this special session.
With the senator having this opin-
ion it is not quite plain why he was
such a staunch sticker for the de-
benture. To our rural views out
here. we are not much on feeding the
grain trade and exporters first and
taking a chance on their being any
thing left for the farmer after that
absorption process is finished. II
aid to agriculture "a first feed
ing up all the side lines to the bust
ness and leaving the people out on
the farms to be happy owe what is
left it is doubtful if a great deal of
enthusiasm over such aid will exist
"out our way"
However Senator Nye is not with
out confidence that the farm relief
bill as is now law will be Of con-
siderable benefit to the farmer, a
confidence we share with him. We
also agree with him that it marks
the entering wedge for future plac-
ing of agriculture on a par with In
dustry, so far as governmental pro-
cesses go, and that through it the
foundation has been laid for future
remedial legislation, in case this bill
does not ford all the relief neces-
sary. 1t is a great step forward for
agriculture, which heretofore has
been very much considered, in some
sections, as merely the sales-ground
for the industrialists, and not
enough in the light of the great
essential of these folks if they are to
prosper, for lack of prosperity
among the farmers means a sad
lack all along trade lines.
We believe our readers will be in
terested in Senator Nye's views on
this important issue, which, through
the fight that will be made to place
the debenture and higher industrial
protection in the coming tariff bill,
is still a live matter. Its outcome
may destroy all the benefits granted
agriculture in the relief. At the
present writing the farmers are
mighty pessimestic over the intent
of congress to pass any really bene-
fetal measures for their relief, and
we would advise all representatives
in the congress from agricultural
states to watch their step"

July /, 1929.
Mr.. w. F. Cushing, Beach, North
Dakota.
Dear Mr.. Cushing: / am not go
ing to have opportunity to sign this
letter. | am leaving for North Da-
kota but | did not want to leave
without knowledging receipt Of
and thank you for your review of
the wishes of people as you encoun-
tered them with relation to the farm
bill controversy.
Never have | been so perplexed
over a necessary decision than /
was perplexed ovcr what to do with
the debenture plan as it was in
~corported in the farm bill by the
senate. You know now, of course,
that the bill was finally passed
without the debenture plan in it, the
House declining to accept it.. Person
ally, was never greatly enthused
over the immediate return that might
be won through the debenture plan.
Instead of enhusing over it as such a
means to immediate remedy, | felt
that it would afford first and fore
most a splendid help to the very
people who have been at the base of
the cause for the farmers great diff
ficulties. | refer to the grain trade
and the exporting interests. To them
| felt that ~debenture would accrue as
a benefit much more directly than it
would reach the farmer for a time
| feared might defeat the purpose
of any farm bill at all in this spec
ial session. That was why | made
inquiry Of a number of North Da-
kota people to get their reaction to
the situation. However by the time
the replies were received to my in
quiry, it was made quite clear to me
that the insistence Of the Senate for
the House to vote upon the PROPOSE
tion would not necessarily defeat a
farm bill altogether and this actual
ly developed to be the case for i'm
mediately the House had voted, the
Senate accepted the bill without the
debenture in it and we got what ]
presume to be the best kind of a bill
available at this stage.
1t is not nearly all that / wanted
in the way of a farm bill, yet ]
cannot help but feel it has some
features about it that can be work
ed to the splendid advantage of the
agricultural industry. 1t will afford
at least that basis and starting
point which we have been seeking
all OF these years and will be some
thing to which we can build from
year to year as it may be demon
strated the present legislation is in.
adequate to meet the depressing cir.
cumstances confronting the agricul-
tural industry.
The entire matter depends now
