 @If will have to practice the diplomacy that you read about i'll books" he said smiling, T don suppose I'll be very successful. But if it's a matter of applying horse sense as that best way to approach cur international problems, I ina zine I shall get along all right"
 Ambassador Edge with Secretary Mellon was entrusted with the task of bringing France to ar agreement on the Presidents plar for war debt moratorium.
 It would be interesting to know to what extent Edge applied -horst sense" in. his conversation with the French.

 The French appreciate this trait in the American ambassador. When he was being talked of as the suc- cessor to Herrick. the French press emphasized the success. of news paperman in rising from modest be- ginnings to high rank.
 They even used the good old English phrase, "a self-made man, " to describe him.
 And Edge is that, in both politics and business.
 In business he started out as a printers devil in the composing room of an Atlantic City newspa- per and came to be reputed many times millionaire in the advertis- ing field
 He started in politics as a jour nal clerk in the New Jersey senate and in turn became a member oi that body, governor of the state United States senator and ambass sador.

Statistics compiled by county agent
n. o. Putnam indicate that there
are eight times as many sheep in
Burleigh county as their were a de-
cade ago.
In view of the fact that the pro-
duction Of wool has become general
in the county, Putnam has provided
himself with a set Of wool standards
which he says may be consulted at
any time at his office in the Federal
building.
He has Just returned from Dickin-
son where q conference was held In
which wool marketing and the rem
eral wool situation was discussed 1t
length by g representative OF the
United states department Of agricul-
ture.
There are q number Of factors rela-
tive to the production Of wool which
the sheep raiser should bear Ia mind.
according to the county agent.
To insure q higher grade OF sfoece,
he says, all sheep should be tagked
before shearing, preferably before
lambs are born.
All wool should be. tied with paper

PROPOSES
MAKING ADDITION
TO BANK BUILDING
Walter Bond Says Addition Of
Three or Four Stories Would
Give Quick Action

Suggestion that the Bank Of North

Senator Walter Bond. Minot.

night over the radio, according to
present plans. Members Of both po-

Asserting that the construction OF
a new capitol building is the source
of more current conversation than
anything else, Bond suggested that
the state office building proposed by
Governor George F. Shafer and
others be located in downtown Bis
marck, near the depots and on the
main highway.
The four-story building owned by
the Bank of North Dakota Is ideally
located and easily could be built
three or four stories higher on the
present foundation, Bond said. He
asserted it was designed to carry q

suggestion were adopted, the pro-
posed addition would be ready for
occupancy not later than November
or December, 1881. Adoption OF the
plan, he said. would save considerable
money in rent which now totals more
than $1,000 a month.
Continuing his discussion, Bond
