Says Drought Area Farmers Will Be
First to Recover From Depression

few chickens: they may have to
have help to buy feed, flour, vegeta-
bles and clothing, but they are going
to get through all right"
Overson praised the Red Cross for
its work. In Williams county. out
side Of Williston, he said $50 fami-
lies have been assisted. In one town
ship, all but three families asked for
Red Cross aid. One former member
of the legislature advised Overson
that he probably would need Red
Cross aid before the winter is over.
Indications are, Overson said, that
double the number of families now
receiving aid in the county will need
assistance.
THE people who are helping u.s.
he said, "are responding nobly. TIE
response that Is being made to our
needs strengthens our confidence
and faith in humanity.
Those fine people, who are aid
ing, even to the extent Of a good deal
of personal sacrifice can rest assured
that the cause Is q worthy one and
that the recipients are truly thank
full and appreciative."

WiIIiston Attorney Praises Stick
to-Itiveness OF North
west Residents

Fargo, N. D., Nov. 16.-(P)-Out of
the drought that has brought human
suffering and misery to. the farmers
of northwestern North Dakota has
come an epic Of hope, ambition and
determination.
Victims of the fickleness of nature,
which has laid waste their fields
through lack Of moisture, the farm
ers refuse to be respondent.
w. B. Overson, Williston lawyer
and former state senator, in a letter
to Wesley Mcdowell, Fargo, secretary
Of the state drought relief commit
tee, has summarized the first-hand
information which Is his through
close contact with the stricken farm
erS.
"This section of the state is COM
paratively new," Overson writes
Lots of the original homesteaders
are here yet. They are a brave lot
They have met misfortunes and
dashed hopes before, and met them
standing UP. They will do it again.
II venture to predict that after
this winter is over, this section of
the country will be about the first
to recover from depression. Most of
our people have their health; they
have fair places to sleep, they have
friends, hope, ambition and stick-to-
itiveness. They have had a pretty
severe lesson, and are going to profit
by it,"
There 81 Years
Overson, who has spent the last 81
years in Williston, said he has seen
many crop failures, "but this IS the
only real one ever saw"
when a farmer has summer fall
lowed his land" he writes, land has
1t in excellent shape, as he believes,
for raising a good crop; plants his
seed, and good seed, early; when no
| crop appears, and he plants again,
and sometimes yet once again, and
sees Russian thistles only, with once
in a while spear of grain that
raises its head above the dwarfed
thistles, with absolutely no chance of
getting even q half bushel of grain
to the acre; when the native grass
is so short that it will not even make
pasture, and the country all sum-
mer looks and is as brown as it usu-
ally is in October after the grass mas
cured, one can realize that there SIM
ply was no crop.
"You cannot exaggerate as far as
crop failure Is concerned, with the
exception of a crop of Russian this
ties, which many. many farmers have
moved and raked up, thinking that
these would be better for stock to
feed on than snow bank. When
the cattle and sheep got sick from
eating the stuff, and on inquiry 1t
was learned that it was very laxa-
tive. and dangerous to feed exclu-
sively or even largely, then you can
begin to realize what the farmers are
up against.

no. When you get the farmers out

BREAKS GAME LAWS
EVEN IF HE MISSES
Attorney General Says Poor
Shot Can Expect No SYM
pathy From Courts

A poor shot, who hunts out of sea-
son but returns empty-handed, can
not expect any sympathy from the
courts.
He Is just as much game violator
as the perfect shot who bags them
out Of season, according to an opin-
ion by Attorney General James Nor
riS.
G. Vernon Freeman, deputy game
and fish commissioner, asked Morris
to rule on this question: A defend
ant has been arrested and charged
with hunting pheasants illegally. The
evidence shows he was hunting afield
with a gun and that he shot at a
pheasant. He missed it.
The statutes provide for a penalty
for every bird taken or killed" in
violation of the game regulations.
Morris pointed out that hunting
pheasants out of season is clearly for
hidden by law.
penalty provided in section 10 Chap
ter 148, laws of 193D. does not apply
to hunting pheasants unless a per-
son kills one or takes 1t. That Goes
not mean, however, that there is mol
penalty provided for hunting pheas-
ants out Of season."
Section SO of the chapter makes Ii
a misdemeanor to violate any proyi
sions of the game and fish act, and
hunting pheasants. regardless OIL
whether any are taken or killed, Isl
illegal if done SO out of season"
Morris ruled that while no specific
penalty is provided in section 10, the
general penalty under section So ap- |
plies and that one who hunts pheas-
ants out of season, even though he is
poor shot and does not get any
birds, is liable for punishment as
provided in section &c." The penalty
is not less than $40 nor more than
500 and costs of prosecution or by
imprisonment in the county jail for
10 to 30 days, or both, at the discre-
ton of the court.

Valley Potato Men
Asking Protection

Minneapolis, Nov. l6.-tR)-A group
of potato shippers from Moorhead,
Fargo, and other Red River valley
points met Monday with officials of
the 500 Line, Northern Pacific and
Great Northern railways to protest
against advances ordered for Decem-
Der 3 by the Interstate Commerce
commission in freight rates on Red
River potatoes to Chicago and the
east.
The proposed increases. it is esti-
mated, would average more than Is
per cent as compared with present
rates. The shippers stressed the
point that the higher rates would
make it difficult If not impossible for
Minnesota and North Dakota pota-
toes to compete in the consuming
territory between Chicago and New
York with potatoes from Michigan,
Maine and other eastern states.
