CALLS FARMERS TO
arms FOR DECISIVE
DRIVE ON 'HOPpERS
townships in BurIeigh County
Urged to Cooperate With
Key Men,
POISON MIXTURE AWAITED
IS Per Cent Of County Infested
Last Fall; Matching
Season Near

A call to arms for Burleigh coun-
tvs supreme thrust In the war on
grasshoppers was issued Friday by
H. o. Putnam, county agricultural
agent, who called attention to the
fact that survey last fall showed
IS per cent Of the land In the county
infested with the pests.
Practically all OF the ~ townships
in the county have enlisted in the
battle, the agent said.
Those townships which have not
yet reported to Putnam their key
men" in the grasshopper war are
urged to do so Immediately.
Poison mixture, supplied by the
federal government, Is expected here
In the next few days. Farmers them
selves must distribute the poison on
their own property and supply water
for the mix. Though the townships
will have some expense in connec-
ton with distribution OF the poison
the federal government is bearing
the lions share Of the expense, Put
nam said.
Putnam said 1t is the duty Of every
farmer to cooperate in the concerted
effort against the grasshopper being
made by Canada and the United
States, pointing out that every coun-
ty in North Dakota has enlisted II
the battle.
Grasshopper eggs are about ready
to hatch, Putnam said, declaring some
may have been Matched already. The
dry, warm weather has been ideal
from the grasshopper's point of view
he said, though it is possible that high
winds have exposed some eggs to the
killing rays of the sun or buried them
SO deeply that 1t will be impossible
for them to hatch.
The poison distribution will be done
by persons on relief lists under direc-
ton Of and in cooperation with "key'
men in each Of the townships. Eacl,
farmer, however, must spread the
poison on his own farm.
Surveys of infested areas are rec
commended before distribution Of the
poison.

Control in Prospect as
Result of Action
SUGGEST WATSON, L0WDEN
Hope That Issue Could Be
Dodged Is Blasted by Form
Of Announcement

Washington, May 4-(P)-A three
cornered struggle for control Of the
Republican party was precipitated
Friday by the resignation Of Everett
Sanders as chairman of the Republic
can national committee.
The contest crystalized overnight
into a push between the G. o. p. old
guard, the forces of Herbert Hoover
and the demand of leaders in the con-
gressional group now in power for
new blood"
The names Of James E. Watson Of
Indiana, former senate leader, and
Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, were
spoken frequently as being outstand-
ing men among the old regulars for
the party craftsmanship.
There had been definite effort
within the party to put off any fight
over leadership. Some had suggested
that no new choice be made until at
ter the 1886 convention. when q presi-
dental nominee had been selected.
A letter from Sanders to members
of the committee. made public Thurs
day night, apparently put q definite
end to that. He said,
Il have decided to tender my resig-
nation as chairman of the Republican
national committee, to take effect up
on the election of my successor"
Follows Out Rule
II, therefore, in accordance with the
rules adopted by the Republican ma
tional convention held in Chicago
June. 1882. governing the procedure
of the Republican national committee,
do hereby call special meeting .
Tuesday, June =. at Chicago
The chairman OF the senatorial
campaign committee, Daniel Q. Hast
ings of Delaware, observed:
I'VE are hopeful Of cooperation. We
have been seeking meeting with Mr..
Sanders but he has been i'll. Who
ever takes his place, we hope to meet
and cooperate with him.
It was reiterated at the same time
that Frank Knox, Chicago publisher,
would not consider the post.
Besides Watson. another middle
Westerner who Is believed to have con-
siderable strength. the names Of
some OF those mentioned as possible
ties included:
Silas Strawn of Chicago; Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr.. and Charles D. Hilles.
Of New York; Senator Dickinson OF
Iowa; George H. Moses, former sem
ator from New Hampshire; Ralph E.

Of death hung over two members Of

Urges Farmers to
Return Cards Soon

A plea to Burleigh county farm
ers to fill out and return immedi-
ately QUESTIONABLE cards sent out
recently In connection with the
corn-hog survey was issued Friday
by H. O. Putnam, county agricul-
tural agent.
Putnam said that about 1000
cards were sent out while only 200
have been returned. He expressed
q fear that many farmers, UNDER
estimating the Importance Of the
cards, are throwing the cards
away.
The cards are needed in deter
mining corn and hog production
averages In the county so that
Burletgh farmers may participate
In the federal governments corn
hog allotment program. which Is
similar to the wheat allotment
plan.
Il the cards are not returned It
will be necessary to send special
agents into the country, at con.
siderable expense. TO obtain the
figures asked.
Putnam urges Ill farmers to
make sure that their corn acreage
figures correspond with those CIV
en- for corn acres In their wheat
allotment contracts.

EXPECT NRA TO Be
HIT BY REPORT ON
SMALL BUSINESSES
barrow Statement to President
Roosevelt May Be Some-
what Sharp in Tone

| Washington, May 4.-lR-An en-
barrassing spot for MIRA developed
Friday with completion by Clarence
Darrow,s review board If report on
codes from the viewpoint of small
business.
The review board, after six weeks
Of listening to objections against q
score of codes, has passed judgment
or six or eight, among them the steel
industry's. It Is now recommending
q series Of changes to President Roose-
welt.
This criticism from inside the gov
eminent family will come right on
top Of shafts launched by q conserva-
tive business bloc at the convention Of
the chamber Of commerce Of the
United States.
just now, also, Hugh s. johnson
already rebuffed in the endeavor to
effect q general quick shortening OF
work hours, is engaged in controversy
with some industries because Of his
refusal to let them distribute blue
eagles.
johnson will speak tonight in Col
umbu:, Ohio, delivering his first
major address since early March. and
those close to NRA expect him to turn
loose some Of his sharpest words In
support Of NRA.
There have been forewarnings that
the Darrow report would be somewhat
sharp in tone.
The review board itself Is a result
Of MIRA denunciations by Senators
Nye and Borah. western Republican
independents.
Despite q sharp attack by johnson
Eorah never has changed his view
point that the antitrust laws must be
left In full force. Should the barrow
report furnish ammunition, both
Borah and Nye probably will speak.

Apprehension over the future am
billions of the powerful 1bn Saud in

of anarchy exists in Yemen itself.
Reports Friday said Ibn Sauds
formidable military machine was in
possession OF great part Of Yemen
"a state bounded by the Red Sea, the
desert and British controlled Alden.
It was indicated that the fighting
between Ibn Saud and the Imam

over, but the danger of widespread
disorders brought new threat to the
early establishment OF tranquility.
Pending the restoration Of order by
Ibn Saud in Hodeidah and other towns

and toward the public from that OF
the building contractor. He Is COM
pelled to take into account the pur-
chasing power Of the public, to flgure
his costs carefully and in other ways
to adjust his products to the market.
It is only as he can do this success
fully that the major portion OF the

He is an entrepreneur. He risks his

home builder who builds houses to

Objections Listed.
Taylor listed the objections Of his
industry to being included under ANY

There are codes for those who sell
materials or who sell services which
are used In connection with building.
THE land developer and home

Taylor declared the code was de-
signed to LAY greatest emphasis on
q fair deal for the public"
In defining the business of land
development and home building, Tay-
lor stated that 1t does not consist
solely of developing building sites and
the building of homes thereon and
selling them. He said those who are
engaged in the business sometimes
develop building sites only and sell
them. He continued: These sites
are often sold to other real estate men
who in turn blilj homes llDOn them

real estate men will buy vacant lots

are undertaken from time to time as
the public demand justifies and as
the desirability of any particular
neighborhood or section of the city is
evidenced in the sales consummated.
Defines Industry.
Continuing his definition OF his in
dustry as separated from the contrac-
tors and others covered by the con-
struction code, Taylor said:
In building homes for sale the real
estate man invests his own capital,
and is solely responsible for the financ-
ing of his operations. While he
usually seeks to obtain q flrst-mort-
gage commitment before he under
takes the building Of any home. the
