Play in the tennis tournaments—the Missouri Slope, Western North Dakota, and city championship—continued over a period of four days. It was the largest, western North Dakota ten- nis meeting ever held. More than 30 out-of-town players were entered and ‘play was almost continuous during daylight, the courts being occupied during meal hours. The city cham- pionship contests will continue dur- ing the week. Players were here from The Countess of Cromer, one of the most beautfiul English noblewomen, this sale and the foreclysures, be- lieved to be the largest single fore- closure in the history of the cattle business in the state, was contained in “notices of Chattel Mortgage Fore- iclosure Sales” published in the current | issue of the Selfridge Journal, a local weekly paper.

Operated Five ms In addition to the Le nm the Hill ranch which he operated south of Selt- ridge and Shields, Parkins had a farm in Emmons county across the Missouri river from the mouth of the Cannon Ball river which is the model of the work of studying costs of production of farm pYoducts in North Dakota. “Farmers in the state who had wheat crops of 15 bushels or more to the acre will pay expenses and make a little profit this year,” said Mr. Wil- lard. about 91-2 bushels, and since the average cost of production is about $17 an acre this year, few wheat grow- ets are actually making a profit. Dur- ing the past three years those who have depended on a single crop have found the practice to be disastrous, and there is consequently a marked ten- dency towards dairying. This ten-{ dency is certainly justified by condi- tions, although of course it would not be advisable for large numbers of farmers to change thei: whole farm- ing system at one time.

Owing to the fact that the courts were occupied longer than was expect- ed in the men’s events, the women’s matches were not played. Seven ladies, all of Bismarck, entered and matches will be played this week. Those to play are: Florence Homan, Mrs. F. L. Page, Mrs. C. L. Robertson, Mrs. H. ‘L. Wheeler, Mrs. J. H.

There was no outstanding figure in the tournament, a dozen or more players being equally matched,| which added to the interest in the playing. MANUFACTURERS SEEK LOW COST IMPROVE QUALITY How are the reductions in automo- bile prices being brought about? With prices in. many industries un- dergoing a treatment such as that sus- tained by the historic undershirt whose owner protested that his mother did not use wool soap, it is interesting to learn just how the shrinking pro- cess is carried out. , i In the main, according to leading: manufacturers, the reductions are pos- sible because of lower costs of raw) material and lower.labor costs. At the same time, there is a renewed activ- ity among motor manufacturers and their engineering staffs*to work out! new construction principles which will! permit of even greater simplicity in| the modern motor car. The Willys-Overland Company, man- ufacturers of the Willys-Knight mot-| or car are among those manufactur- ers who are not forced to desperate efforts toward simplicity of design.

PERSHING’S ATTITUDE General Pershing, howev¥er, appar- ently regarded’Mr. Gomper’s remarks as a claim that labor had won the war. Some of those who heard his remarks quote him as saying substantially: “The policies of this Republic are not determined by labor unions or by any other organizations; but by the concensus of opinion of its citizens of whatever affiliation. “T want to say that every American is a patriot whether he belogns to some labor organization or is just an ordinary citizen; it is not a question of labor unions, it is a question of whether we belong to some organiza- tion or not.” BUILDING BOOM { i i Decision in Chicago Controversy Opens Way Chicago, Sept. 7.—Building trades workers were given slight wage de- creases and new working rules were set up in the arbitration decision by Judge Landis today. The decision opens the Chicago territory to all con- tracting firms and according to con- tractors and union men opens the way) to renewal of millions of dollars worth! of construction.

The memorial to the deceas- | 4 ed members of the state was in charge of John E.

All of the deceased lived in*Fargo except Judge Carmody, whose home was in Hillsboro. In addition to the resolutions, Judge L. J.

Thes3; figures show that while the cost of! wheat was about $12 before the war,; the cost was approximately $23 forj the season of 1920. The various cost items, such as man and horse labor, feed, seed, threshing, machinery, ete., increased consistently during this time. This increase continued until 1921 when nearly al items entering into the cost of production of farm products decreased in value again. Due to the drop in feed prices, this @ecrease was most marked in the cost of keeping horses. Statistics on Wheat Prices, “Statistics for wheat prices, for ex- ample, show that in 1915 the averaga North Dakota growermade a profit. In 1916 they lost $5 or more an acfe, in 1918 the crof’ was very profitable as whole; in 1919 the loss was about 3 an acre, in 1920, $11, and in 1921 an average loss of about $7 an acre. ‘The trend of prices throughout the war period, and following the wart indicate a situation almost parallel to; il War days. At that time it re-| uired 12 to.15 years for prices of ail commodities to reach a normal level again. Prices of farm products have now just about reached a pre-war level, but other commodities are still! much higher jn proportion. While all farm products are about 15 per cent above pre-war levels, all other com- modities are still about 50 per cent above normal. “Qf the farm products wheat ts still somewhat above tne average in buying power, and hogs afe still con- siderably above the average. Wooi and hay are below the average, flax is at a pre-war level, while dairy pro-| ducts are considerably above the leve! for all agricultural products.

Dublin, Sept. 7.—On the eve of a mass meeting of the British cabinet at Inverness to take action on the Irish problem, Eamonn De Valera, the Irish Republican leader, quite unexpectedly issued a statement to the press, in which, after reiterating Lreland’s earp- est desire for peace, ne declared that peace never could be founded on make-believe.” | “Let us lay aside the camouflage | | and put away the hypoc said Mr. | | De Valera. “If Englan! is issuing an| ultimatum, let it be an ultimatum.” War, nyt peace. would be the out-! come of the imposition of Englan proposals by force, acccrding to Mr.| De Valera, who went on to assert that| |} England had no basis in right for a single demand she was making on bre- ing to Major E.
