V. •4\ *f. 1* JM* [ATE HANDLE BUSINESS JM'GOVERNFLAN 'SB Council of Defense Consider ing Leasing Elevators and L. Run Grain Business. Bismarck, N. D., July 3.—J. A. Mc 36vera, deputy state inspector of grains and grading, under instructions from the state council of defense, is endeavoring to draft a working plan whereby- his proposal that the coun cil taki over and operate the grain business of North Dakota may be placed in operation. Numerous dif ficulties presented themselves in con nection with the proposal which Mc Govern yesterday placed before the council, that the board, as a war measure, take over the elevators and warehouses, much as the federal gov ernment has taken over the railways, the express business and the tele graph) and telephone systems, paying the elevator companies a reasonable rental and operating the business on a co-operative plan. Howard R. Wood, speaker of the last houee, and league candidate for lleptenant governor, in speaking in favor, of McGovern's scheme, told of incidents of which he had personal knowledge where the expense of handling wheat under the present competitive system ran as high as 14 centi per buehel. In no instance, he stated, did the expense go under two cents the bushel. He told of one ele vator in the southeastern part of the state which handled 147,000 bushels of wheat at 2.5 the bushel, while a shall competitor, which handled but 23,000 bushels, Bhowed a cost of 8.8 cents. Mr. Wood favored, paying the! elevator companies a reasonable reniai for their plants, operating them on 'a community co-operative bads, buying grain at a safe margin anil then, if any surplus remained at ths end of the season, whacking up pro rata with everyone who had sold grain. He believed the farmer's wheat would be handled at a greater .piofit to himself, and that many men w!iose services as elevator managers are not required during the greater part of the year would be released to more needful occupations.

D., July 3.—"The North Dakota council of defense is asked for another *1. W. W.' procla mation," said Governor Frazier, with one of hie occasional gleams of humor, as he finished reading to the state council yesterday a letter from Arthur Fleming, chief of section, sug gesting that if North Dakota hopes to obtain a sufficient supply of harvest labor it must adopt a moro charitable and less suspicious attitude toward transients. 'v- Governor Frazier issued a procla mation somewhat to this effect a year ago, and he was bitterly criticised therefore, especially because he threatened to remove any peace of ficer who searched a transient who might be under suspicion, without a warralt. The board directed the secretary to immediately wire Director General McAdoo urging favorable action on a letter from Datus C. Smith of Blanch ard suggesting that provision be made for rebating two cents per mile to transient laborers who pay full fare into the state, upon the presentation of vouchers showing that they have performed 28 days' actual farm labon The matter of fixing a maximum wage for harvest labor was dis cussed. The council approached the matter with hesitancy, as one in volving some grave dangers. It was reported that Renville county already had adopted a scale of 45 cents per hour. It was finally suggested that a conference of farmers representing all parts of the state be called in the near future in order that there might be agreed upon a uniform maximum wage scale upon which all contracts for farm labor may be based. T. J. Hlelson of Hoople reported that farmers in this Community a year ago adopted $4 the day as the uniform wage and stood by it, although I. W. W. organizers who invaded the coun ty just at harvest time Incited work ers to hold out for $5. tie admitted that a mysterious rumor which gain ed circulation from some source to the effect that the farmers had order ed through a local hardware store 1, 000 rifles and plenty of ammunition with the avowed purpose of cleaning out the I. W. W. may have had some •'effect. N.D.W.S. REACH $10,000,000 Twenty Counties Have So Far Reported That They Are Over the Top. Fargo, N.

'sstei W. News NORTON TO RUN FOR GOVERNOR, SAYS A RUMOR Would be Independent Can didate Against Frazier at Fall Election. Bismarck, N. D., July 3.—The new est story of anti-league opposition at the polls is that Patrick D. Norton, now completing his third term as representative in congress from the Third district, defeated by a narrow margin for renomiatnlon by J. H.. Sin clair, Nonpartisan, will be the inde pendent candidate for governor against Lynn J. Frazier at the polls. It is stated that the independents be lieve they can hold the opposition re publican in line, and that the demo crats can be induced to get back of Norton in sufficient numbers to in sure his election. The story appears to be nothing more than gossip, and no confirma tion can be had from any authorita tive source. There is a similar story in which U. S. Treasurer John Burke, three times governor of North Da kota figures, but as the democatic nominee, to substitute for Doyle, who will withdraw to hold his job as United States marshal, so goes the tale. The same rumor has it that the opposition to the league has been as sured ample finances, and that it will concentrate its attack on the new constitution, which consists of ten amendments embodying the vl tal features of famous House Bill 44, and which will be submitted to the voters at t{ie fall election, if the supreme court reverses a decision of two years ago holding that the initiative amend ment to the North Dakota constitu tion was not self-executing. There is a considerable conservative element in the league which would make progress more slowly than is planned by the radicals, and the opposition seems to believe that some strength may be taken from the league' through fear of the success of some of the revolutionary economic meas ures which could be proposed, were the constitution/ amended as planned. July 6 the county canvassing boards will meet to certify the results of last week's primaries. Not later than July 16, the county auditors must file official abstracts with the secretary of state. July 17 the county control committee, composed by precinctmen nominated in the recent primaries, will meet and select members of the state central committeemen, who wilt meet at Bismarck on September 4 to outline a platform for the candidates. The county auditor must at l'east 45 days before the general election, without application from an elector, send an absent voter's ballot to each person in the military and naval ser vice of the United States who is quali fied to vote in his county. It is the duty of the auditor to maintain a reg ister of such voters and to see that they are supplied with a ballot and a return envelope, stamped and ad dressed. It is estimated that North Dakota now has 15,000 men in the military and naval service of the United States Their vote, with the independent vote which opposed the league in the rec ent primaries, and the democratic vote, both of the Doyle faction and of the Wilkinson bund, would con tribute a safe majority, providing it could all be herded into one basket.

MAJOR WANTED TO SEE NEW 75 Aiherican Boys Stood Their Ground and Never Gave an Inch, Says Tostevin. By E. H. Tostevin. Somewhere in France, June 15, '1918. "I ask but one thing before I die," said a German major captured in a dying condition following the fight at Bouresches. 'What is it?" he was asked. "Let me see that new automatic 75 which you Americans used against us," he replied. But it wae not an automatic can non which the American artillery was using. It was simply the "pep" and invincible nerve of Uncle Sam's troops that made it seem to this Ger man officer that the Americans were possessed of new weapons which dropped .shells in their ranks with such terrible effect and frequency. Battered and happy, the wounded from the Chateau-Thierry battle front are in "blighty" at several hos pitals. I have talked with a number who are here. Perhaps by the time you receive this letter, the cables shall have brought detailed news of the fight which shall go down into history as one of the most' thrilling sensational and daring of all times. Censorship rules prevent naming the American regiments engagod, but there were many North Dakota boys mixed in it You have read the general story in the papers of how tho Americans fought five German divisions of troops to a standstill at Chateau Thierry, Bouresches and Belleau Wood. "They got a bunch of us alright, but we know now what it means when you say 'mowed 'em down like ripe wheat before a binder.' It was open fighting and we had no shelter, yet the boys stood their ground and gave never an inch. It was great stuff and believe me we showed those Dutchmen what the Americans are made of. Did they? .1 feel almost as though I had been In it myself. Remember that old selection in the fourth read er. "Spartacus to the Gladiators,' when he tells of hearing tho vener able sires speak of brave .deeds and savage war. "My checks burned, I knew not why This whole hospital is surcharged with an enthusiasm or its smily Americanism that is contagious and has infected everyone. One chap, a marine. R. A. Judd, DeKalb, Illinois in the same ward with me, told his story. "The French on the right were hard pressed. We had to get help to them. I had to take a message from battalion headquarters back to regi mental headquarters. Say, listen, shells were dropping all over the world, but I didn!t seem to notice them. We were fighting the Dutch and we weren't going to give them a foot of ground. I knew, or seemed to know one thing, that was that I had to get an important message through. "My route lay across fields and down a road. Another chap was with me. I forgot all about him. As I was picking up the dust two big shells came along and dropped on each side of the road right by me. That's where I had this ear busted. "It knocked me down, but I re member getting up with the thought of the message. The next thing I knew I was handing it to the lieuten ant-colonel.' Then my head began to hurt and they bundled me into the hospital and operated on my ear." Lying propped up in bed, a band age about his head, cigarette in his fingers burning freely and with eyes flashing, this soldier presented a pic ture of the indomitable courage and unquenchable spirit of the U. S. A. No bravado about his talk, merely re lation of fact, his share in the battle, as distinguished from the other fel low's experiences. "Think the American soldiers don't amount to much as fighters did they!'' ejaculated another chap who had nearly all the flesh ripped Off his left forearm. "They know better now. Say I saw the platoon next to mine rush right up to a German machine gun, yelling and shooting and hog wild. Right up to the barrel of the gun. jjpwwiii'ir^ Jv'"" Of course they lost men. |yt that dldn!4 stop 'em. ,1 saw that platoon, or the mm «ect lti it take hold of the barrel of that German machine gun, swing it around and turn it looae on the Boche forces coming up. "That takes nerve alright!" and it surely does! Proud? So proud of what their companies and companions did, that they seem to be living in almost an other sphere. Yet there la no ego tism about it. The men from the front know the boys back home are dead anxious and keen to know, all about it. "I'd like to know another outfit that ever walked up to German 77s and captured them, then turned the guns around and used enemy amuni tion to kill off the Helnies. We cap tured 77s while the Germans were trying to get horses up to drag the big guns away," said another. And the American troops over here from one end of France to the other are' anxious to get into the game in earnest. In England I had an English officer tell me that the American troops would never stand the grief of the trenches that their spine would de mand action and chafe at routine. He was right and wrong. The Americans stand inaction but they accept routine, when the routine means something doing sooner or later, especially "sooner." The prisoners captured here told strange tales, some of which have been published, others of which are military Information and not permis sible In this letter. However, the chaps back from the front are cer tain that the present scrap is the be ginning of the end, and now and then you hear an argument generally sup ported almost unanimously that "We'll eat Christmas dinner in Berlin, or somewhere in Germany." And there you have a very circum spect and censor-pure description of what things are like here. Farm Boys Are Busy At Devils Lake Chautauqua Devils Lake, N.
