Fraser does not .eliete" that a North Dakota soldier i-9t the late war should be designated as "North Dakota's Greatest" Hero." is positive after looking over the war records of many of 'the men of vne state that no committee of men :an select one justly. Therefore he has declined to become a member of the committee to make a selection. .. 'fromi two weeks'trip thrbughMor Tells Governor No Body of!ton,.

Such 'Delicate.-Task. In answering Governor Nestos' let ter asking that he act, with Captain Gi A. M. Anderson and 'Major George Russ, representing the American legion, Mr. Fraser says: ^'In reply to yours of the 13th inst., wherein you request that I act as one of'! a committee, composed of Major George Russ, Capt. G. A. M. Anderson Ufd myself, to select and name the Nitrth Dakota hero for the "Living Hfll of Fame/' I beg to inform you thit I canont act on such a com- Sajr Idrsa is Wrong. "I have arrived at this conclusion after working over the. records of a 'rr.eat. many North Dakota boys, and tbe more I, have gone into this mat ter the more convinced. I have be come that the whole idea of a "Ovine Ball of Fame" is a. mistake and that ^no body of men is competent to select such a man. ."Hundreds of North Dakota boys '-performed deeds of great heroism ,1'many Of them were decorated by their Towh government, and others were t:4ieeorated by si the governments of .fBijgland, France, Italy and Poland. Should I confine myself simply to the mtit who were decorated, it would be r'an'Impossihle task, but hundreds of 'our boys performed deeds, of heroism «nt in No Man's Land during the ^'darkest hours of 'night, with e'e to.^witnes8 and no one to recommend v'thim for decorations. Believes Governor Should Refuse. "I ha^e talked with many of these men and And that they are. very Modest that they do not claim to be heiroes and simply state that they en deavored to do their duty.' I do not, believe that a single one of these men desires to be named or pointed out as ,*the "Greatest Hero.' They ..offered their lives in battle or dashed through shell swept areas to rescue a wounded .'comrade. What can be greater than ttMi? How can there be any measure of ,isuch heroism? What gauge can we-'use to measure it? Who can sit down and calmfy declare This man is the supreme hero of 1 North Da kota?' It would be unfair to other 9neh and distasteful to the man' named. 1 'Living Hall of Fame.' 4, "Sincdrely yours. —"G. A. Fraser.

"I was out visiting farmers by auto mobiles every day for the last "two weeks, and they are putting in their crops in much better shape than us ual. They are plowing deep and cul tivating thoroughly for all crops. Tf they get through June with ample„ moisture, they are golngi to have an* abundant feed crop. "The grasb Is high and green and coming fine and the stoqk in excellent condition. "My belief is that there is going to be a big demand for dairy cattle this fall from that section. This demand is almost s^re to dome if the feed crops turn out\well. There has a treat* been a large amount of corn and potato planting done, and, there will be big acreage of these crops this year,' especially corn."
