i { { \ MONDAY, NOVEMBER {4, ’21 FARM PRODUCTS | LAG BEHIND IN PRICE CHANGES Lack of Organization to Keep in Touch with Change’ in Events is Reason COST FIGURES ARE GIVEN| Fargo, N. D., Nov. 14—Prices fir! farm products continue to lag behind ; prices on other groups of commodities, ! and one important reason for this! condit‘on is the lack among farmers! of commodity’ organizations to keca in close touch with production figures, | with other prices, and with the de- mand for farm products. Commodity! organization among farmers can do! much to stabilize production, and to! eliminate risk to growers, stated Rex} \E. Willard, farm economist, Agricul-; tural College, today,” in commenting upon the relation between prices for farm products and other commodities! as revealel in recent price statistics. j “Take the index numbers for com | modity prices during September in the United States—and October prices | on farm products are still more de 100. Farm products in September s'ood. at the bottom of the groups With a price index number of 122, or! 122 per cent of the 1913 prices. Cloti! and clothing prices stand at 187, fuel! and light. at 178. building materials; i198, and ‘household furnishings j Figuring on the basis of all crops their purchasing power is 69 per cent} of what it was in 1913. Building ma- terials, metal, fuel and Nght increased in purchasing power from 1920 to 1921! ever their purchasing power during! 1913. ‘During September cotton prices! increased from 109 to 160 figuring 1912 prices at 100, corn dropped som: | what as did steers and hogs, whens) increased from 142 to 149, eggs went} up, milk held its place, and while po-| tatoes decreased from 304 to 250, their price could be considered very. good, | relatively, in comparison to other prices, “Farm labor costs are still 38 per} cent over the 1913 level, despite the fact that they have dropped from 219 to 138 from 1920 to 1921—figuring the; 1913 level at 100. During 1920 the acre cost of raising wheat was 112) per cent above the 1913 figure in Min- nesota, so federal statistics show. Po- tato production costs were 125 per- cent above 1913 costs, according to figures for New York, and hog costs were 6 per cent above the 1913 level. The wheat! crop in 1921 was 17 per cent greater than in 1913, and has been greater each year since 1913. Becf cattle have increased 19 per- cent since 1913, with railroad ton- nage showing an increase of 16 per cent since 1913, as a comparison.” Every group of commodities with the rnssible exception ‘of metals is re- latively higher than farm products in prices,.Mr. Willard explained, and one reason for this condition is the high point of eficiency among the com- modity producers in lines other than farming. They are able to calculate fairly definitely what the demand for their pioduct will be he stated, and they do not produce in excess of what will bring a reasonable profit above the cost: of production. Farmers pro- duction is largely unorganized ant haphazard in this regard. “J.C. R.” IN VISIT * TO DICKINSON: Dickinson, N. D. vy. 14—"'J. C, RL” is back. The mystery man of the northwest whose sensational attempt in the courts to establish his identily as J, Allen Caldweli son of J. H. Cald- well, former Stark county rancher, and to claim the J, Allen Caldwell! property, was watched with interest) over the entire nation, arrived \ inf Dickinson Wednesday. The mystery man landed here after an extended trip through the western states, making his living as usual, by begging. aif 3 It will be remembered that his for- mer wife; row Mrs. L. D. Blue, picked him up in the west last summer ana took’ him to her Duluth home. The, surroundings evidently didn’t appeal to “J, C. R.” for he soon became af- flicted with thé wanderlust and left to resume his old “vocation.” Tuberculosis Death Rate Is Reduced New York, Nov. 14—The reduction of the tuberculosis death rate to 114 per 100,000, recently announced by the U. S. Bureau of the Census, is’ equiva- lent to a saving of more than 80,000 lives in this country during the cur rent year as contrasted with the ‘lu- berculosis death rate of 15 years ago. according to a statement issued by the National Tuberculosis Associa- tions today. In 1995 the death rate from tuber- cutosis was about 192 per 109,000. _By 4910 it had declined to 160; in 1915 it qwas 146. There was a slight Increase fn 1917 and 1918, but in 1919 there wa3 a sharp drop to 126 and in 1920 to 114. Reports received at headquart- ers of the National Tuberculosis as- sociation indicate that the death rate for 1921 is still decreasing and will probably be lower than the one in 1920, which is the lowest on record. re RUPeCUS CEST E CT ERD ND EEE “Pape's Cold - Compound”. is Don’t stay stuffed-up!

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE iT i The joke?: MOTOR LIBRARY HELPS FARMERS \ Dodge Brothers Business Car Finds New Usefulnes Not so many years, ago you heard the argument that the automobile was. destined to monopolize people's tirke,’ that they would have no more leisure hours for reading and that the nation; would consequently degenerate below Since then, of course, it has been proved pretty definitely that exactly | the reverse is true. The automobile saves such an enormous amount of! time that people have more opportun- ity than ever to read. There is no danger that the motor car and culture will ever conflict. . As a matter of fact, there are a number of librarians in the country today who will tell you that the au- tomobile is helping them introduce traces of culture into communities that would otherwise fail to develop an appetite for books for years to come. These librarians are taking their books to the farm—by auto- mobile. They are introducing the motorized library, and the success which has attended their efforts indi- cates that it is one of the certain American _ institutions, of the future. Particular success ith the motor- ized library is found in the case of Noblesville, Ind., a city of about 5,000, situated’ about 20 miles north of Indianapolis. In an exceedingly in- teresting article describing the meth- ods and results employed in deliver- ing the library to tne farmer’s door, Miss Lula M. Miesse, Noblesville’s li-! brarian, says: | “We tried both adult and juvenile stations in schoolhouses and homes and found the adult section was not well patronized. The country schools are open only five days a week, and only six months a year. So the house to house plan of service.was deter- mined upon. We visited some other cities, where library autos were ini use, and after looking over various chassis and trucks, we decided upon a Dodge Brothers Business Car. In the first place it did not need a great deal of remodeling for our purpose. It was strongly built and highly rec- ommended by people who were using it, for durability. under hard service, which we knew our'car must receive. “The seats were already comfort- able. We had the wire screens and the entire back removed. The steel sides were bent over seven inches and | used for shelves in front of the book cases. Inside the car we built our book cases of oak: with glass doors opening outward on both sides of the truck, so that it advertises its own wares as it travels over the country. The shelves slant slighly back to hold the books away from the glass.” ioe oe EMOTION | AND LOVE | I | > y Motion blinds us. To discover that, one does not have to read a learned book. Emot'on blinds women in love more frequently than men, and; more com- pletely, if the extracts) from two letters prove anything at all. “I am desperately in love and have been engaged a Year. “Three months ago the young men went to a nearby city to work.

More fog, more blindness produced by emetion! If she could think clearly,’ the girl probably could not be induced to follow a man who was about to marry’the mother of h‘s child, The girl is not to be blamed for her feelings. Emotions are tryanni- cal and few persons can dominate their’ parti¢iutlar assortment.’ ~~ +} But they can determine whether they will act according to them, and be ruled by them. “Strong feeling is the instrument and element of strong self-control; but it requires to be cultivated in that direction.” A ‘sane girl would step aside from the path ofa speeding auto. It the same way, if her peace of mind is valuable to her, and her self-respect, she will get away from the menace of unreasonable love. 4 College Reunions On November 22nd Valley City, N, D., Nov. 14.—Tues- day evening, November 22, from to 8:30 has been set aside in the pro- gram of the twenty fourth annual North Dakota State Teachers As- sociation for the various college re- unions and dinners that are an inte- gral part ‘of each years session.
