Drought Hits
 North Dakota
 Sections Hard
One County, Once Fertile Prairie, Is Blackened,
 Dismal Landscape

JAMESTOWN, North Dakota, June 27.-One of the worst drought stories is revealed in Stuthman County which has been transformed from once fertile prairies into a dismal landscape, as far as the eye can see, of fields blackened, many without rain for year; wheat burn ed brittle and where cattle wander aimlessly, foraging for whatever is left.
 A lengthening calvacade of trucks, bearing abnormal loads of live stock from the region are rumbling from the area of blight which stretches northward over three fourths of the state.
 Of fifty-three counties in the state, only five can harvest nor nal wheat crop.
 Farm families are moving out and hired hands have left.
 "The last rain in our vicinity was in July, 1884" said one Stutham County farmer We turned the ;ows loose in the fields and the yrasshoppers are feeding on what S left"

 Tells of Alaska

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 27.- Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond, who seconded President Roosevelt s nomination for Alaska, said Alaska was the first in instructing it's dele gates for Roosevelt in 1892 and 1886.
 We were right both times" said the Delegate. Continuing he said:
 We of the north feel a modest pride in our contribution to his nomination, and that pride has add ed satisfaction by reason of the long stride forward taken by Alaska ec- onomically and otherwise.
 Under the present Administration we have gained an additional and substantial measure of self-govern- ment. We have had material ad- vance and development in indus tries, and most important, all those in need have been fed and clothed.
 We have just adopted a great platform, ,sconcise and clear and def mite, embodying the New Deal doc Urine, but we could have condensed that platform into single sentence.
 We could have said and it would have been supported by heart and mind of every member of this con vention, by every lover of human ity in We commend the Admins tration and we shall support and continue to <apport with all our strength the political and econo- mis policies of Franklin D.

- ONE Of the most notable fights
in United States history have
been waged in the two uphol-
- stored arenas of the Capitol
the Senate and House of Representa-
tives chambers. Most Of these fights
have cracked heads and fists and ink
wells have flown on occasion. Many
Senate and House members refrain
from open fighting and arrange their
victories through out-of the ring
strategy. But the greatest names in
congressional history have belonged
to men willing and anxious for scrappy
debate, men eager to leap to their
feet at a moments notice and bark
furiously at an opponent, while fol-
lowing the succesS-in-argument theory
advanced by DR.. Samuel Johnson-if
you can't wound your opponent with
the bullet from your pistol, knock him
out with the butt end of it.
Facts, noise, persistence-these are
winning virtues in legislative battles.
Three of the foremost moderns in
rough and tumble debating ability
are the three most important men in
CongreSs-Vice President Garner, who
presides over the Senate: Speaker
Byrns, who guides the House, and
Minority Leader Smell, who must in
spire his handful of Republicans to
feats of wonder to keep the Demo-
Gratis from running away with the
whole show. Smell is the baby of
the trio, and he has been Repre-
sentative 81 years. Each lusts for
legislative battle, and each can tell
countless stories Of great fights won
and lost in Congress.
Climax to the most thrilling fight
in the memory of Vice President John
Nance Gamers "a years in the Cap
itol is the whip-lash speech he de-
livered while Speaker Of the House to
halt the Governments march toward
bankruptcy and to curb a group OF
House insurgents threatening destruc-
ton to a budget-balancing revenue
bill.
Garner made his dramatic demand
for restoration of faith in the Ma
tion's credit March 90, 1882, one OF
the darkest days of the depression,
just after the $1,096, ,000, 900 tax
measure had been torn to Shreds by
a coalition which forced removal of
billion dollar manufacturers sales
tax provision.
with this action all chances OF
balancing the budget seemed lost, "
the veteran who now bangs the gavel
in the Senate recalls. Foreigners
rushed to unload their dollar hold
ings. Gold drained from the country
in a steady stream. The stock mar
ket was on the chute. The United
States was on the verge of the worst
panic it had ever known"

disagree, so he is very anxious to
find the document.
Meanwhile he has the tremendous
job of sorting out all the accumulated
records, letters, treaties, documents,
reports that the United States Gov
ernment has stored up in files, work
rooms, attics, cellars. garages for the
lat years of its existence.
Every Government department has
had a different filing system-ranging
from a good memory (and woe to the
department if the file clerk died) to
elaborate decimal and alphabetical
systems requiring code books and in
dex cards. Some just didn't have any.
No two are alike and some have a
dozen different systems" within a
department.
Out of this chaos Hill must pro-
~ duce some kind of general filing
system that will make it possible for
Government officials, scholars and
others to obtain the documents they
want. Yet he wishes, in the claSSifi-
cation experts language, ''to respect
the Farchive of origin" That means
he wants as far as possible to follow
the classification system used by the
department, or even by the division OF
the department from which a certain
group of documents comes. That is
because, by this method, he can more
clearly show the development of the
Government of this country and the
growth of its complexities from the
days when its only records were long
handed letters.
Thus when various departments
archives have finally been classified
and stored in the new building, there
probably will be a number of different
filing systems. with a super-systen
over and above them all to tie every
thing together into workable refer
ence system.
That is no simple job. In fact, it is
one Of the largest classification jobs
in the world-since this country has
waited so long to collect its archives
To date no papers have been Of
ficially sent to the Archives Building
on order of the National Archives
Council, but the records of the war
time Food Administration have ar
rived, since that agency's work has
been wound up and there was no other
place to keep the papers. Hill and
his three assistants are at work on
them.
The papers came to the new build
ing to big room downstairs in $500
four drawer filing cabinets and over
200 wooden boxes. They contain
