,IRELAND:
Taces Isolation
: Because Ireland lies so hard by
Britain, the latter has always looked
upon it as sort of
a necessary ad.
Juries of Britain's
d~nse, and long
and bitter have
been the contro-
versies between
the two countries
over the question
of its sovereignty.
Last ruffled
through Britain's
ecauomic block-
ade of Ireland
from 1932-'38, re- De Valera
lations between
the. ewe countries have become
troubled again, with the U. S. join-
trig Britain this time in demanding
th•t Ireland oust the German and
Japanese representatives, charged
with c•rrying out espionage activity
against Allied forces massed in the
British Isles for the invasion of
Europe.
Following Premier Eamon de
i V•lera's refusal on the ground that
the Axis diplomats were being
watched, Britain banned travel to
Ireland, and promised to further iso-
late Ireland from all outside' con-
, neetions.
!FAR EAST:
!Racing Weather
As Lieut.-Gem. Joseph Stilwelrs
Chinese and American troops fought
through Burma's rugged northwest
clearing a route to embattled China,
the U. S. announced it has stocked
up more than $160,000,000 of guns,
~munitions and tanks in India for
• eventual shipment to Chiang Kal-

ways up and down the length of
the peninsula, used to supply em-

SOLDIER VOTE:
Congressional Bill
Once having denounced compro-
mise on soldier vote legislation em-
bodying state supervision, President
Roosevelt was faced with the alter-
native of approving such a measure
assured of passage in congress or
risking another veto overriding.
Latest soldier vote bill assured of
passage •llows use of the short fed-
eral ballot for President, senator
and congressman by servicemen
overseas if their states provide no
absentee vote or they have not re-
ceived state ballots by October I,
and their governors certify use of
the federal ballot.
About 20 states already have pro-
vided for servicemen's absentee vot-
ing, and another 18 have indicated
preparations for considering such
legislation.
RUSSIA:
Active Diplomacy
While Russia insisted that Finland
only could have an armistice by in-
terning German troops in the coun-
try and recognizing the 1940 bor-
ders, Moscow's busy diplomatic
corps moved on two other fronts.
Even as Italy's Communists cried
for the removal of King Victor Em-
manuel and Marshal Badoglio, Rus-
sia formally recognized their gov-
ernment by consenting to exchange
ambassadors with them, even though
the U. S. and Britain have withheld.

dor in Moscow jumped into Broz's
camp, and Jugoshvs in Russia were
organized into an army swearing al-
legiance to Broz.
Gain in South
Transferring their pressure from
the Baltic to the south almost 600
miles distant, Russian forces under
General Malinovsky cleared the
Dnleper river port of Kherson, at
the eastern end of the long German
line stretched far to the rear af
the Reds' positions in Poland.
As Gener•l Malinovsky's troops
fought into Kberson, other Russian
forces under General Zhukov worked
on the big Nazi bulge farther to the
northwest, chewing into German
lines at three points.
Already deep in prewar Poland,~
the Reds not only were close to Ru:
mania, but also stood about 100
miles east of old Czechoslovakia and
less than that from Hungary.
DRAFT:
Cut Deferments
O~ez~l not to grant deferments
to men tn the 18 to 21 age group
since February 1, the nation's draft
boards were told to extend the pol-
icy to Others within the ~ to 25
limit.
Under the new regulations, men
in these age brackets will be eligi.
ble for deferment only if the state
director deems their services vital
to critical war production, or if they
are holding Jobs specifically exempt-
ed by the national draft director.
Cut in deferments• for the 18 to
25 age group followed draft boards'
failure to meet induction quotas be-
cause of the hesitancy in taking fa-
thers and also because of the army's
preference for younger men.

PACIFIC:
No Rest
Ringed on all sides, Jap troops in
the South Pacific were given no rest
by U. S. forces slowly pulverizing
their defensive outposts to the Phil-
ippines and Asiatic mainland.
Desperate enemy attempts to un-
loose the doughboys' hold on Bou-
gainville were repulsed after a day
of savage fighting, and U. S. troep~
landing behind Jap lines in Ne~
Britain, wiped out remnants of the
force driven back when the Yanks
took WilIaumez pen~nsula, to the
southwest of the battered Nip base
of Rabaul.
Even in mid-Pacific the Jap found
no rest, U. S. naval ~and marine
bombers plastering their holdings in
the eastern Marshalls and Carolinas,
from which they can pcster Allied
shipping.
GAS RATIONS:
West Cut
Because of expanded farm and
highway needs, gas rations for all.
"A" card holders west of the Alle-
ghany mountains were cut from
three to two gallons per coupon, the
reduction being accomplished by ex-
tending the validity of the coupons
from 7 to 10 days.
Effect of the 0PA action was to
take away one of the three gallons
on the "A" coupon allotted for es-
sential driving, and bring western-
ers' "A" rations to the same level
• s in the 17 eastern states.

GREAT BRITAIN:
Coal Strike
With the British government as-
senting to most of their demands,
Wales' 100,000 coal miners went
slowly back to work, as the threat
to war production diminished.
Piece-workers' demands that their
rates be raised to •llow them to earn
over the $20 minimum wage recently
granted to •II British miners, was
one of the conditions met by the gov-
ernment. Also met were claims to
special allowances for work in ex-
cessive dust and water.
The strikers also rebelled at the
government's order that •U miners

would have to pay .30 weekly" for
the privilege.
WOMEN SERVE:
Enlistments Up
Since the navy lifted its ban
against sailors' wives entering the
WAVES, recruitments have risen to
over 1,000 weekly, ~ompared with
850 weekly last fall, and the service
now looks confidently toward att•in-
merit of its goal of 92,400 by the end
of 1944.

WAR PRISONERS:
In Timberlands
To help relieve the acute l•bor
shortage in the northern timber-
lands of Michigan, the army has al-
lowed use of German war prisoners
to fell trees and cut them to size for
paper mills°
Under the 1929 Geneva convention
for treatmemt of war prisoners, the
Germans are paid 80 cents • day
by the government, but the contrac-
tor employing them must give the
U. S. treasury the ordinary going
wage for each one.

vention, and still confident of Adotf

OIL RESERVES
Vast reserves of petroleum still
exist in the United States and the
resources of Alaska have scarcely
been tapped, according to geologist
Wall•ce Pra~ of the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey. He said
that in Texas alone from which
nearly half the nation's petroleum
comes, the "proved" area consti-
tutes less than 1 per cent of the total
area of the state in which it might
be reasonable to expect oil deposits.
The natic~ he continued, is far
from the end of its resources.

SAYS STATE WILL BENEFIT
MUCH BY WATER DIVERSION
North Dakot•, by virtue of its
geographical position, will receive
a very subst•ntial share of the
benefits that will accrue from the
Missouri River valley development
project.
Here will be located the gigantic
diversion dam that will send the
'WCaters of Life" into the Devils
Lake basin, restoring that once
magnificent body of water to its
original level. It will inject life
i~to the headwaters of the James
and Sheyenne Rivers, securing pure
water and ample sanitation to the
cities and villages that border their
banks, and incidentally raise the
underground water levels over much
of the Rastern part of our state.
Here will be loca~d hydro-elec-
tric generators that will furnish
power and light to m•ny communi-
ties at a cost heretofore unheard of.
Through the magic touch of
cheap power, industries will spring
to life that will provide employ-
ment for thousands of workers.
These workers will consume the
produce of the farms that has
hitherto been considered unprofit-
able to raise on account of the
long distaRce to market.
Fertile soil is our greatest source
of wealVh but fertile soil alone is
not sufficient. It must have water
at the right time or its yield is as
meager as though the seed had
been planted on barren stone.
Water conservation and irrigationI
go hand in hand--without the]
ohher--neither can accomplish its/
major ,purpose. Speaking flgura- I
tively, these two activities are man'sI
weapons for combating the malig-[
nity of drought. They have been1
practiced from the dawn of civllim-
tion and must of necessity be
utilized wherever the caprice of
nature withholds the blessings of
natural rainfall.
As a corollary to water conserva-
tion we have flood control. .Many
sections of our state have been
ravaged by floods in the past, but
the full fury of the unbridled Mis-
souri is not felt until the river
leaves our borders. The people liv-
ing to the south of us are as vitally
interested iz~ flood control as we
are in water conservation, hence
the harnessing of the Missouri
River to secure diversion and con-
servation for us fits perf~tly into
the scheme to prevent floods into
the lower reaohes of the river.
Col. Pick reported that the waters
held ba~k by the Fort Peckdam in
the spring of 1943 prevented a more
disastrous flood than the city Of
Omaha had ever experienced in the
past. Perhaps the cost of the
darn was justified by" this once
incident alone. How much more
~ecure then will .the residents along
the river to the south of us feel
when more than one barrier ire-
'pealed the wild orgies of the Mis-
sourl.

FARMS ADOPTING
NEWER METHODS
Farmers in North D~kota are
making some sharp improvemn~s
in their farming methods and are
vn the alert for anything new in
crops and practices that will help
them to meet the tremendous war
food production responsibilities they
are now carrying, according to E. J.
Haslerud, director of the NDAC
Extension Service.
Haslerud says that educatlonat
meetings now being held by county
agents in every part of the state
are being attended heavily, and
that many of these meetings have
been extended several hours to
enable the Extension workers to
answer questions and discuss prob-i
lems brought up by farmers at the
sessions.
New, higher-producing crop var-
ieties, crop and livestock disease
and parasite control, improved
feeding and management methods
for livestock and .poultry, and
practices which will reduce labor
requirements and increase the out-.
put of equipment are among the
subjects in which North Dakota
farm folks are showing particula~.
interest.
The entire Extension Service ls
now given over to assisting farm
famihes on wartime problems oI
production and management. In
anticipation of the renewed inter-
sodium phophate may be given.
Not enough common salt
cause cannibalism. Have
available at all times, but if
reals have been without it for
long time, start it gradually.
rein deficiency in the ration
also contribute to cannibalism.
A good memory is .said to
necessary in order to play
games successfully. "At least
good many people have a
good enough to recall the
they lost at those games.
