day land office experiences. But
when some Of the territory was opened
up the land office was the busiest
place in the whole country"

lar weekly business meeting since

No Fly Argument
For Chicago Judge

Chicago, Sept. 11.-R-The mu-
nicipal court of Judge w. W. Damron
has declined to rule upon the relative
health of city flies and country flies.
The charge against Steve Nichopu-
los was that he displayed thin skinned
fruits without providing any protec-
ton against flies.
An official of the health depart
ment was present.
"You can't make me believe" the
court said, that those peaches and
other fruit never had any flies on
them before they came to Chicago"
Granted" said the health officer.
But those were country flies. It is
city flies we are complaining
against"
The court refused to be drawn into
any fly argument, and dismissed the
case.

REFUSES TO
DISCUSS PROHIBITION
Tess Of Ohio Says Liquor Law
Will Not Be an Issue in
Coming Election

Columbus, o., Sept. 11.-R-
steadfastly maintaining his position
that prohibition is not an issue In the
coming political campaign, unless the
Democrats make it so, United States
Senator Simeon D. Fess, chairman Of
the Republican national committee,
virtually ignored the subject In his
keynote speech at the Republican
state platform convention which op-
ened here today.
His only mention Of prohibition was
in summing up activities Of the Hoo
yer administration in recognizing
governmental machinery and appoint
ment of 'the highest available per-
sonnet to insure greater efficiency in
the administration and enforcement
of law by the appointment Of q COM
mission for the study and recon-
mendations Of better means Of en-
forcing the 18th amendment and all
other laws"
The senator's keynote address was
based solely upon activities of the ma
tional administration which he said
had redeemed all pledges made In the
Kansas City platform on which it
went into power. Two of these in
particular, the tariff law and. farm
relief legislation. were stressed.
1.-The longest-visioned policy of gov
eminent aid to assist the farmer to
turn his buying market into a selling
market was announced with a board
of ample power and adequate funds
to make the law effective" Senator
Fess said with reference to farm re-
lief. He added that the tariff act
gave the greatest protection to agri-
culture yet proposed in the form Of
law"
Besides aiding agriculture, he said,
the tariff law "also gave additional
protection to those industries Grip
pied by foreign competition"

Trench Sil0 Storage
To Handle 1890 Corn

It Is estimated that 100 trench
silos will be used in Grand Forks
county this fall to store and make eff
ficient use Of the 1880 corn crop. With
less than normal supplies Of good
roughage, due to the drouth, the
farmers r relying On silage as an
important source Of winter feed.
The trench silos have been con-
structed in sandy soils and in heavy
clay, but the walls stand up better
in the clay. A few farmers have put
in permanent concrete walls where
caving of light soil has caused trouble.

DIRECTOR DENIED
u. S. CITIZENSHIP
Farmer Living Near Kenmare,
Wounded as German, Wants
No More to Do With War

Minot, N. D., Sept. 11.-P1-The
horrors of shrieking shells, bursting
bombs, waves of poison gas, life IN the
trenches, comrades dying or suffering
from sickening wounds, and fields
dotted with dead. are indelibly i'm
printed in the memory of Emil Engel-
man, farmer living four miles south
of Kenmare.
He never wants another war to &C.
cur and he wouldn't fight again for
Germany, as he did in the World war.
Neither would he, in the future,
take up arms in defense of the Unit
ed States and for this reason he was
refused American citizenship in
Minot today.
He was one of q number of appli-
cants. On his right arm is the scar of
a wound inflicted by shrapnel while
he was fighting for Germany.
Dismissal of Engelman's application

tious objector vas ordered by District
Judge John G. Lowe, upon recon-
mendation of L. l.. Welsh, st. Paul,
naturalization examiner, but the
COu1t tOAO AAlAAl LAG OAO AAOV OCAACvC ~
was good law which prohibited a per-
son from being a citizen If he would
not take up arms in defense of the
country.
Since coming to the Kenmare Vi
cinity in 1925, Engelman has become
a member of the church of the Breth-
ern and he told the court that his
faith and elief prohibited him from
shouldering arms again. He said he
would defend the country in any 9TH
er way.
"IIl wait and see whether they
change the law" Engelman said. If
they don't I'll go back to Germany,
because I don't want to stay some
place where they don't want me. But
If I go back, I wouldn't fight again
for Germany either"
