P0PE'S ENCYCL|CAL
ON YOUNG FASC|SM
Message From Vatican Is As.
sailed by MussoIini as COL
lection Of Lies

Rome, July 15.-(R-Premier Mus
solini and the Fascist directorate
Wednesday denounced the pope's re-
cent e~ncyclical on young Fascism as
collection Of "lies."
The Vatican and Masonry have
combined in common hostility to-
ward the Fascist state" they charged.
and to "defame" Balilla, a Fascist or
g~anization of boys.
In a statement, the directorate an
nounced the membership of the Fas-
cist party, 1878, 900 adults and 642, 900
youths, would mobilize shortly on the
Piave battlefields Of northern Italy
to demonstrate Fascism is q military
unit that has achieved a revolution
and has the imperative duty Of de-
Tending it against whomsoever."
The pope's criticism of the Fascist
oath came in for strong objection.
"Black Shirts have demonstrated
that they know how to renounce
bread, career and even life" said the
statement, when it is necessary for
the country and for Fascist revolu-
ton. The Fascist party spurns, there
fore, the grave attempts by which 1t
is sought to ~depreciate its faith, al
ready proved by sacrifices.
1.-THE directorate is vigilant to pre-
vent any Of the old remnants Of the
Masonic and Liberal days resuming
any activities, wen on the edges of
the regime. But. this having been
stated, the directorate calls attention
to the unheard-of alliance between
the Vatican and Masonry, which are
bound together in a common hostility
towards the Fastest state"

WEATHER TO MAKE
+. OR BREAK CROPS
Statistician Says Range Crops
in Western N. D. Are at
Critical Point

Weather from now on will deter
mine the fate Of range crops In west
ern North Dakota, which has expert
enced one Of the worst droughts IN
the history Of that area, according to
Ben Kienholz, federal agricultural
statistician located at Fargo.
Kienholz says this Is particularly
true of Mountral and parts Of sur
rounding counties. The mean tenn.
perature for the month Of June Is re.
corded by three major weather sta
lions, was 1914 a. compared with q
normal of $50. Many Of the weather
stations had temperatures ranging
from SO to los during the hot spell
which occurred late In June. These
high temperatures caused q further
driving out Of the soil and parching
of the vegetation until the fields and
pastures were almost bare.
: Following the hot, dry spell, some
GOOD rains occurred. Vegetation took
a new start, Unsupported grains began
to grow, making the outlook . bit
more bright for the present at least.
However, fall and winter range, feed
and forage are not secure as yet.
Much depends upon the weather
which comes from now on. The precipi-
tation was only 81 per cent Of normal
for June or 2.19 inches compared
with 3.68 inches, the normal. Early
July rains helped this to 9 consider
able extent. A total Of 1872 inches
had fallen at these same stations up
to and including July 10. This Is
about $50 per cent Of normal tor the
Today period.
Ranges in North Dakota are very
poor with prospects for late iali
grazing unfavorable. The condition
Of 50 per cent Of FORMAL compares
with 66 for June, 81 q year ago ana $50
for the five-year average.
Cattle and calves have held up re-
markably well under the hardshipS
they have had to endure as the July
/ condition figure is 30 per cent OF
normal compared with 30 q month
ago. SO q year ago and . five-year
average Of 8S.2.
Condition Of sheep and lambs Is 81
per cent Of normal for the month a.
compared with 50 . month ago. 30 q

sversge. Sheep and lambs N the
eastern part Of the state are In con-
siderably better condition than IN the
