That The Great Influx Deprives Berlin Of its “German Character” ‘cDowell quoted figures from the United States census returns to prove the financial stability of North D ‘ jakota. “On 22,623 farms owned by the men who operate them in North Dakota, the ratio of debt to value of the farm land was 28.5 per cent,” said Mr. Mc- Dowell. “This is a slight increase in the ratio for owned farms over 1910, when the ratio was 22.4, ‘but the fig- ures are illuminating and are cause for galfsfaction ‘rather than for gloom. g'Think of these figures: In 1910 there were 19,187 farms owned by the men wha operated them, as reported in thé consus. The total value of this land was $213,642,593 carrying mortgaged indebtedness of $47,841,587, In 1920 the total number of such farms reported was 22,623 and the to- tal value fas $380,132,941, carrying a total indebtedness of $108,284,682. Value Increased. “The total “indebtedness increased: $60,443,095 but the total value of farms increased $166,489,988, “The average value per farm in- creased from $11,185 to $16,803. The average indebtedness increased from $2,493 to $4,786 and the average equity increased from $8,642 to $12,016. “This does not look like we are going broke, when we consider what we have been through, in the way of crop reverses. We might have done better, but the man who says we are broke simply does not take the actual facts into jconsideration. “As a matter of fact there is no place. in the wide world where a man has @ bétter‘opportunity to succeed if He is not too lazy to, do a real day’s work, than here in North Dakota. “We can’t do it raising wheat.’ Mr. Alexander, here, in his address on dairy cows: has hit: upon. the solution of our’ problem, If the dealers who have come to!

Berlin, April 28.—tiordes of Rus- sian refugees are flocking here on every train. ‘The’ arrivals have set- tled themselves in a section of tho city which they occupy almost to the exclusion of other nationalities, and have opened their own restaurants, clubs, saloons and theaters. Some of the Russians are wealthy, but most of them are penniless. The police have found them a prob- lem as they insist upon their own customs, and *have little commerce with the Germans. The greatest dif- ‘fieulty is found in compelling the im- migrants to observe the one o'clock closing regulations. They follow the Russian custom of beginning dinner after midnight and continuing their eating and drinking until daylight, In several of these restaurants for- mer wealthy Russians are working ag waiters, cooks, or entertainers.

MUSCLE SHOALS HISTORY IS TOLD BY MR, WEAKLEY From 1818 to“1876 It Was Al- ways Known as “Mussel Shoals” WAGONLOADS OF MUSSELS Florence, Ala., April 28.—From 1818 till about 1876 the shoals on the Tenn- essee river here were known as “mussel Shoals,” according to maps of original survey and historical data of original and authentic character possessed by John B, Weakley, Birm- ingham lawyer and capitalist and former resident of this community. (Mr, Weakley’s parents and grand parents resided here and handed down to him a wealth of historical inform- ation, which he has displayed to set at rest a controversy. that has arisen over the original spelling of “Muscle, Shoals.” This data, according to Mr. Weak- ley, shows that the, Cypress Land Company purchased the land about Muscle Shoals from the govern ment March 13, 1818 and tho first white settlements were recorded that year, followed by an ‘influx of set- tlers the next. year. At that time, the survey showed the shoaly section of the river as “Mussel Shoals,” the name being given the rapids by rea- son of the great quantities of the edi- ble bivalve, mussels, found in and along the stream, these records ap- pear to indicate. eae “I have often heard my grand par- ents tell of mussels being hauled out by the wagon loads,” declared Mr. Weakley. “This was the same mussel that was once so abundant the (Missisaippi and from the shell of SHOES AND OXFORDS FOR MEN WHO CARE.

EXPERT SHOE FITTING. 1 Ywe Swe We TWA 1 NW Ye SD of the Catholic church to hope for an increase in the number of Cardinals alloted them: Senor de Avaredo, Bra- zilian Ambassador to the Vatican, has pointed out to the new Pope that the |. United States, smaller in area and with ,a. smaller (Catholic population than Brazil’s, has two Cardinals while ‘Brazil has but one. ne of the chief objections to grant- ing Cardinals in Latin-America brought forward in the past is that the Sacred ollege cannot exceed 70 mem- bers, and that the Pope, following traditional law, must leave a few vacancies to be filled by his successor. This argument is controverted by ‘Sen- or Azaredo on the ground that the present limitation to 70 Cardinals was established nearly 400 years ago, when no-one could forsee the development of the American continents. which in earlier days many ‘pearl’ buttons were made.” Mr, Weakley accounts, for the par- tial disappearance of the mussel from the stream, .as.a result of floods and tha encroachmenty, of. civilization. ‘When the governmentiundertook to complete the, Myscle.Shoals canal about 1876, t in-Mr. Weakley’s possession’ ‘sh changed the. name. fro ie pMuseles on governm: ij has so stool This’ Was aot design, but vy accident, jn Mr. feakley's opin- lon, Pune eels Mr. Weakley, osiosaés map which he said’ was. made 100 years ago, This ‘shows the spelling “‘Mugsel,” Sever- ‘al copies of this map. are matters of Tecord. in’ the, community, Mr. ‘Weak- ley said.“ r Government records, insofar as they ‘are available, show the gholling ‘“Mugcle Shoals.” 3 ‘Since Muscle Shoals became a na- ‘tonal issue, discussion of the name ‘has créated numerous reports. ft was contended by army engi- neers that the name never had been altered and that it originated from an Indian story, “heap, big Muscle” re- quired to pull canoes over the rapids in the river at this point. Another story that came from the Indians was that the shoals at that point resembled the biceps, or mus- cle on the arm. POPE PIUS XI WAS ANXIOUS TOVISIT U.S ‘Rome, April 28.—Pope, Pius Xi har- bors at least one deep regret and that is his failure to visit the New World before his elevation to the Holy See, “I was anxious to visit the United States, Brazil and Argentina,” he said recently. ‘‘But I thought I had plenty of time. I never dreamed that I would ba elected Pope.” Diplomats and ecclesiastical digni- taries are playing an important part-in the new Pontiff’s efforts to familiar- ize himself with the affairs of his church in every land. Cardinals are usually accorded interviews lasting two hours or more, while ambassadors are seldom dismissed before they have ‘spent an hour with the Pope. “He is evidently feeling his way and trying to understand the complicated machinery in all its parts,” said ‘one ambassador, as he left the Vatican offices. “It is quite a striking con- trast to Popo Benedict, who used to go straight to the heart of the sub ject in hand and exhaust it in a few moments.” His sympathetic attitude towards the American continents has encour- aged ‘Latin-American representatives Right price backed by quality is a combination housands for the s season.

They suggest ‘that the ‘commission shall be composed of anh equal number of “wets” and “drys,” the “wets” to be appointed by the; newly organized National League for Temperance. ‘The students’ organization points out the immense importance of the American experiment to the develop- ment of prohibition all uver the world, stating that the Swedish peeple, be- fore casting theif vote on this issue, should recelve reliable information concerning the general effects of the dry law in the United States. The report to be submitted to the Swedish voters must be based on thor- ough study of the social, economic and cultural effects of prohibition, It is further pointed out that reports from the United States on the effect of the dry law are extremely contra- dictory and an investigation by a body composed of open-minded persons 8e lected from both ranks should gain, general confidence and (be of great value to the Swedish public in decid- ing the wet and dry issue at the polls.
