Gronna Opposes Nation's League And Liberty
Washington July 18 United States Senator Asle Gronna issued a statement via the Republican Publicity association opposing the League of Nations covenant. He argues the plan threatens American sovereignty and the Constitution, warns of a standing army on foreign soil, and urges preservation of self government under the Declaration of Independence and U S Constitution. He says he supports a peace treaty but not the covenant, fearing it would entangle the United States in perpetual international obligations and permit governance by an executive council of foreigners.

Perennial Sow Thistle Invades Counties Raises Alarm
The perennial sow thistle now blossoms and should be cut and burned to prevent seed spread. It grows four to six feet high with clusters of yellow flowers like dandelions and spreads as dandelion seeds do. It is a serious weed, spreading via underground stems, and has appeared in this county for the first time this year. Farmers are urged to confine it to current patches and stop seed blow. Also noted are large numbers of cars heading to Fargo and the state fair.
