June 17— With the news full of strikes, threat- ened strikes and labor. ungest, Roger W. Babson, statistician today issued the following = statement regarding genera] industrial ‘situation— “For some time,” said Mr. Babson, “business in the East has been re- viving. - Were it not for the textile and other strikes-in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, business conditions in New England, New York state, and ‘Pennsylvania would be very good today. situation. farm products left the agricultural sections in our country in a very bad condition. Fou will remember the Farmers’ Conference at Wash- ington and the various forms of aid cnacted by Congress and different te legislatures. “The rise in agricultural products, however, which occurred a few f months ago, accompanied by the good - weather conditions of the past few weeks has made the farmers feel very much better. Reports which I am receiving from correspondents in the west are truly eencouraging. - This applies not only_to the agncultnral districts but alsé'to the, mining and lumber business. Even the automo-. bile industry, which.is .such a; factor, throughout Indiana and: Qhio, is-feel- ing much more encouraged:. Of course the union coal fields are quiet; but the non-union fields are: more active each.week. .The cut in freight, rates should help the coal and lum- ) ber business.: The deinand for cot- ton continues strong and the South is gradually fecling better. This better feeling throughout the West and South is reflected by the im- provement in the business of the il order houses. - The ~customers of the mail order houses are largely in the rural districts. This shows that the ‘farmers have again begun to buy. This is very gratifying and is one of the reasons for the con- tinued strong market. “Owing to the change in the for- eign trade situation and the sale of . foreign bonds in this country, ster- ling exchange is much stronger. Al- tho it may be only a temporary move- ment, the whole foreign situation looks better than it has looked for some time, Private advices tell me that a settlement is being approach- ed between Germany, England and France, regardmg the German repar- ations. If this is so, it should be distinct impetus to :business, both by causing Europe to .buy from this country and giving. this country con- fidence to loan Europe. Altho no change has taken place in the Rus- sian situation during the past week, yet signs even in Russia are favor- able at the moment, For the first time in many years, things look en- couraging in Europe. “I prophesy that the threatened railway strike will end by men shift- ing jobs.

A free-for-all trot promises to be one of the best features of the rac- ing program. There will also be a mixed trot-and pace. horses which were not exhibited last Sunday will be seen tomorrow, it is understood.

HUSBAND T"T—" 'fliycllo-Al\ Mp Dechre: Man L Must Clu"b{‘bgck Up Again to Be’ Pfgf g‘l-lmlumd tu'tefl Press) London, Juh 1'—‘M}m, after his descent from': t?le ‘monkeys, must climb back up again before he can be "the perfect husband. Dr. Bernard Hollander, noted Brit- ish psycho-analyst, in taking this view, agreed heartily with New York physicians and the world’s divorce courts that the ordinary man not only can, but does love two women at the same time. “When we can love like the mon- keys, we shall be nearer the perfect monogamy,” Dr. Hollander said. “Man constituted 'as he 'is now can and does love more than one woman simultaneously. “I agree with Dr. Andre Tridon, of New York, that the ordinary man can share his love between the tender and true woman, who makes the ideal wife, and a second woman, who thrills him and stirs his emotions. “The ideal of mankind should be monogamy, but the love of two, or even more women at the same time is a psychological’ fact that cannot be controverted. “It is not merely a physical fact. A man who genuinely loves his wife, may be attracted by another woman by pure emotional or psychological influences. It is not merely a mat- ter of sex impulse. “We are slowly ascending towards the more perfect monogamy. I be- lieve that human impulses are polyg- amous, but education has taught us that the one mate is best for man- kind. e have much to learn from the lower orders of the nature of perfect monogamy. Among anthropoid apes, for example, you have an almost per- fect example of the single attach- ment of male and female. The moth- er love of the. ape is unparalelled 'n the animal world, and scarcely equal- led by mankind. Birds, too, are per- fect monogamists . “We need a restoration of the plain, old-fashioned sense of loyalty. The loyalty that makes men stand by each other in_peril should make men stand by their chosen partner m the battle of life. It is all a constant war between temperance and con- trol. “The war has created an artificial (By# ' | sense of independence among women, but it is the national home-life en- vironment that will prevail over what I believe is purely a passing phase.” KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS PLAY REHEARSALS BEGIN "The first rehearsal for the “Follics of ‘22” to be staged at the Grand theatre June 28 and 29, by the Knights of Columbus, was held Fri- ddy evening in their hall in the Nan- gle building, and the talent that re- $ponded pleased the director, Mr. Kelly, very much, and he stated that he would have no difficulty in get- ting the production into shape for public presentation by the scheduled dates. Another rehearsal is to be “held Sunday afternoon at the K. C. hall and all members of the cast and those who agreed to take part are requested to attend at 2:30. FARMERS ENJOY PICNIC FRIDAY Instructive 'i';nlks Are Heard by Large Attendance; Fine Sports Program Given E. E. SCHULKE WINS AS SLOWEST FORD DRIVER Wilton Wins Ball Game 20 to 4; Prize Donators Thanked by Committee in Charge Although the weather was very threatening and serious consideration was given by the committee in charge toward postponement of the event, the annual picnic of the Beltrami County Farm burcau was w_efl attend- ed Friday. People began arriving at the fair grounds and the committec decided to go ahead with the program although it was considerably delayed by the weather. Several of the evens planned were not carried out. due to the late start, but in gencral the affair was a decided success. Be- tween 400 and 500 persons were in attendance. The Bemidji Boys’ band marched to the fairgrounds shortly before noon and played a number of well received selections. After the pienic lunch was enjoyed, a speaking program was given. Hugh J. Hughes, director of the bu- reau of markets, St. Paul, gave a very instructive talk, as did Miss Koch of the Home . Demonstration department of the University farm, St. Paul. R. E. Scaton of the live- stock department of the St. Paul sociation, spoke on the service which farmers can render to mankind without so much thought being placed on finances, and the service which business men can also render without the financial thought being upper- most. The sports program was well en- joyed. 'The horseshoe pitching con- test was held during the speaking program on account of the late start. A. P. Ritchie and H. F. Podoll won seven straight games, each receiving a gallon of lubricatig oil, donated by the People’s Oil Co. Glen Grover and A. S. Grover won sccond place, the prizes being a year's subscription to The Pionecer and The Sentincl. Northern and Wilton met in base- ball, Wilton winning the game 20 to 4. Only four innings were played. Northern started out the game in fine style with three runs in the first inning but Wilton found itself and held the Northern boys down to one more run. . The slow Ford race in high gear caused plenty of entertanment the race being for 100 yards and the last to reach that point being declared the winner. E. E. Schulke, a middle- aged man of sober appearance is awarded the palm as the slowest Ford driver in Beltrami county. As a result he won a sct of Weed tire chains donated by the C. W. Jewett Co. It is understood that Mrs. Schul- ke was not riding in the back seat cither.
