THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER : (Established 1873) TAKES RIGHT ATTITUDE Under Editorial Comment, The Tribune reprinted a short editorial squib from the Jamestown Alert deploring the fact that the State Immigration Commissioner is not going up and down the country supporting some of the poli- tical remedies urged to relieve the farmer such as extra sessions, price fixing and other expedients so dear to the ward politician but which get the farmer nowhere and work to his injury. Secretary Wallace of the department of agriculture has well stated in interviews with Senator Frazier, Congressman Young and others that their suggestions to aid the wheat farmer are not possible of accomplishment and are fraught with danger to the best interests of agriculture. J. M. Devine in his addresses is doing the state a real service by placing the emphasis upon diversification, the need of better marketing methods, balanced crops on the farm and business principles in agriculture that obtain in other lines of industries. Congressman Young knows from experience that the present Congress could not relieve the farmer if a special session were called. His associates know that price fixing and revival of governmental agencies will give no permanent relief. ; Secretary Wallace, however, has said that freighi rates on farm produce should be lowered, but care has to be taken there for labor costs dictate to some extent these tariffs. Of course if rates can be reduced the farmer will benefit directly. . Whether tariff tinkering will help is proble- matical too. i Here in North Dakota, the politicians have been trying to:aid the farmer by the legislative route, but the whole sorry mess has ended in the greatest looting of the farmer in-the history of the nation. And the end is not yet. Mr. Devine can do agriculture a real service by sticking to practical advice and leave the rainbow promises to vote seckers. The farmers, however, arenot aroused as they once were over the prospect of relief through law and govern- mental subsidy—they are beginning to grin now when the matter is mentioned. Probably what some members of our North Dakota delegation need most in this crisis is a sense of‘ humor. When one reads the panaceas proposed by congressmen for the relief of the farmer we wonder who is in more des- perate circumstances, the farmer or the congressman?, Hy i ELUSIVE JOY Savages on South Sea islands get more satisfaction and happiness out of life than we do with our incessant pursuit of the dollar. Dean Charles R. Brown of Yale Divinity School, makes this comment. It is open to argument. But happiness certainly requires more than material possessions. For instance, the early American pioneer who farmed his 10-acre clearing in the forest undoubtedly was happier. than the modern farmer with his fields stretching as far as he can see. The happiest people seem to be the ones with simple wants. It doesn’t take much to satisfy them. That’s why there’s something appealing, to all of us, in the home simply pnd comfortably furnished, with a touch of luxury here and there. can afford only one diamond gets more real joy from her lone diamond than: the rich woman with diamonds galore.

The change has been brought about slowly. Dur-q ling the past year, however, its pro- |gress has been shown to a marked | degree in the large fields of corn and | \other forage crops and in the in- ‘creased numbers of cattle and hogs |that are to be found on the farms. During the past few years farmers | of the state have been facing a grave ‘crisis. Years of drouth brought cri- | tical conditions to the agricultural |industry and continuous, one crop farming methods had sapped the soil | of its fertility. Then in spite of the lexisting hard times North Dakota | farmers awoke to the danger and the change began. Diversified farming | m&thods are now expanding and with- lin a few years we predict that North |as either Minnesota or Wisconsin. |The days of wheat raising in North Dakota are not over-—not by a long shot. But unless we miss our guess there will be fewer acres planted in | the future and better yields obtained from those fewer acres for the soil is being put back into shape. There will be more feed crops raised and hore hay, more cattle and more hogs and | before long the average farmer in- | stead of having but one product that | he can turn into money in the fall of | | the year will have a good sized pay cheek coming in cach month, — ~ The transformation is going to | work wonders for North Dakota and its people. The state is already g2t-| ting on its feet after many hard} years. Progress will be even more rapid in the future. And, because of the change that is being; brought about farmers are going to be in much better shape to weather che | gale should a season of dry years ever again be visited upon the Slope. | Dickinson Press | ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS By Olive Roberts Barton Piggy Wig Pig and Sducy Snout Pig and Twisty Tail Pig were all lying side by side in a cool, muddy puddle in Squealy-Moo Land. They looked like three sausages | that had been stuffed too tight and ‘were ready to burst if you touched | them, Piggy Wig Pig was black, Saucy Snout Pig was white and Twisty Tail Pig was black and white, but just now they were brown all over, the three of them, for they had rolled in the mud and dried off and they were sights to behold! “Let's talk about something eat,” said Piggy Wig Pig. “Yes, let's!” agreed the others. But to Nancy and Nick and Mister j Dodger, the fairy man, on the other side of the fence, it’ just sonded as though one pig was grunting, .an- other squealing and another snort- ing, such funny noises they made when they talked. “I like buttermilk with corn cobs floating in it!” said Piggy Wig Pig, smacking his lips. “And I like’ the days they have apple pies!” said Saucy Snout. “Then they dump all the apple peelings and apple cores into the trough, Um!” | “Oh, I like anything!” declared Twisty Tail, “I’m not particular. Clover’s good, though. I like that!” Now, I didn’t tell you that there| was another little pig in the field, but there was A nice, clean little red fellow, who wasn’t very fat, or very big, or very curly—his tail! wasn’t—and he wasn’t dirty at all! | But he was very hungry. Farmer Brown had bought him from a neighbor, and he felt very | lonely and forlorn, for the other) pigs wouldn’t look at him at all! Just then there was a loud bump-! ing. It was Farmer Brown empty- ing his slop pails into the trough at the pig-sty. Instantly there was a scrambling, and off started the four pigs - for their lunch, | “Get out!” squealed Piggy Wig Pig at the stranger. “Wait till we're through,” grunted Saucy Snout over his fat shoulder. “We'll give you what's left,” called Twisty Tail. That's the way it always was. No! wonder poor Reddy Pig was so thin! and hungry! . For. there never was anything left! But suddenly something. happened. Nancy grabbed ohe greedy pig by his hind foot, and Nick grabbed an- other and Mister Dodger grabbed the third. “Go on, Reddy, and eat cried the fairy man. Which he did without any coaxing. | There was never any more trouble after that, for the pigs all promised to be good, : (To Be Continued) (Copyright, 1923, NEA Service, Inc.) to] . \ your fill,” * THE.

Yesterday a letter came to John Alden Prescott, Jr., encloing “a five hundred dollar bill, nothing’: else. Ordinary paper; ordinary entelop@; post office stamp so blurred:fhat it looked as though it had beep, done purposely. Of’ Gourse Leslie was nea¥ly’ bes with anxiety. I think it would kil her if she had to give up the baby now and it would break my heart ag well, Syd. Beforg I let him go I'll tell Leslie the whole story as you once suggested and I'll go into‘court and swear that the child is ming, per-, sonally as well as legally... That, added to the fact that we have legal- ly. adopted the child, I think will, clinch the matter. Leslie lives in hourly fear that some one is going to kidnap the boy. She/hasn’t let him out of her sight, since she received the money. I tell her if anyone had wanted to kidnap hi mthey would not have sent the money. : Poor little Perrier! She has played in rather hard ‘luck, hasn’t she? When she thought she could not by any possipility take care of her child, she sent it to us and right after that fortune smiled upon her and she finds herself mush better off than the people to whom she has given her baby. No wonder she wants him back. The woman always pays, Syd, as you said a while ago. I scoffed at you but now I am beginning to think a hole. Of course you know the money is legally mine but Leslie seewed to think there was a moral law that, was higher, + J:note what you say about Elling- ton.” Just as soon as, Lackawanna Steel goes a point above 5, I'll draw out.and I'll cut Ellington’s acquaint- ance, for-I have caught him in one or.two sharp practices lately, He is spending an awfu) lot of money on Edith Chapman and one does not feel safe to place margins with a man of that king. | Eve just kept this letter open long enough to read the tape and nnd that Lackawanna is up to 95.

Carthage, Mo., Oct. 1—“It’s a mistake to believe that farmers. want to see risque shows and gamble at fairs. They prefer to see good livestock.” “Running a fair is a business and an all-year job even though the fair lasts only four or five days of the year.” “aA woman can run a fair as well. ae:aman if she puts the same: amount, of fight and en- ergy into her work.” These are ,the déclarations of Miss Emma BR. Knell, for 22 years secretary and\inanager of the Southwest Missouri Fair held here annually. In this part of Missouri -almost leveryone calls it “Miss Emma's fair.” This is a tribute to a woman's {efficient mapagement of the institu- tion. Until recently Miss Knell was the only woman secretary .of a fair in the country... Now thére are three or four others, she says. Inherits Business.

Non-Resident Hunter Buys , County License Dickinson, Oct. 1.—Because he used fraudutent means to obtain a state huriting license, George Schafer of Hampton; Minn., who has been hunt- ing in. the vicinity of Amidon, will probably find that it would have been cheaper for him to obtain a non-res- ident license.

D., Oct. 1.—The sheep. story told by A. J. Beier, of Thelen, is one that should interest farmers discouraged with other branches of agriculture. In 1918 Mr. Beier pur- chaseg a flock of 30 head of breed- ing’ ewes, 80 lambs atid three bucks. The purchase price was $1,720, and this outlay was made’ when prices wete at the peak. ‘Unlike many others, Mr. Beier did not sell ‘his sheep at any price he could obtain, but in- stead kept them. In five years, his initial investment of $1,720 has amounted to $1,319.43 annually, and ‘| the original stock, which has grown to 237 sheep and lambs, worth $2,370. 2 Proceeds From aie Weldeaaes Tag Day Will, Buy Kiddies Milk Dickinson, Oct. 1—With the pri ceeds which they expect to obtain from their annual Tax Day, set this year for Saturday, October 6, la of the Dorcas society will again un- dertake the work of furnishing a half pint of milk each day to pupils in the kindergarten, first and second grades of the public schools and St. Joseph’s Parochial school in South Dickinson’ during the fall and win- ter months. , her to buy an wrong\phone t one because oftes. so busy look- husband must but a single t enjoyed’ the left to do our carry more Belfield Gets 24 Meeting of Sunday School: Organization Dickinson, Oct. 1.—Befield was chosen as the 1924 meeting place of the Stark*County Sunday’ School as- sociation by the convention at -the business meeting held‘ in connéction with the yearly session here last week, © Officers {or the coming years were chosen as follows: * President—Nei| N.
