For the country as & whole, the department has found, farmers will undertake a normal pro- duction program with little change, except in the Northwest. ifere a marked change in farming is predicted, the prediction heing based upon an actual survey made of a large number of farms. The survey indicates less wheat, more flax, barley and ovher grains, more corn and forage crops. The statement is qualified by the future effect weather may have on inten- tions expressed at the time the survey was made. However, the sur together with the state statistics for the last few years showing the increase in dairying, corn raising and poultry production, confirms the general belief expressed that North Dakota is rapidly changing from a one-crop basis to mixed farming. Those that forego the one-crop plan may give up the great profit that might be made with a bumper crop of wheat and good price. They gain a safety factor in a more balanced production and put their production program on a long-time basis. The farm becomes a home, and a twelve months a year factory. Every sound argument is in favor of mixed farming. It because experience has proved this system best that farmers are turning to it. There is every reason for students of agriculture to find elation in the government forecast. It is an important step ~in the future of the state, one which ought to make for de- velopment in every line of industry, increase the population of the farms and ultimately raise the value of lands. Every producer who sells in a world-wide or country- wide market must figure production against the probable capacity to consume without depressing prices in abnormal] degree. The success of large manufactures depends in large degree upon the foresight of executives in this regard. It ie just as important to the farmer that his production be hesed upon a sound view of the possible consumption of his products. In the past the farmer has operated largely in Without facilities to make his own estimate, no other agency has proved reliable. The United States De- parimem of Agriculture, in emphasizing the intentions of farmers the country over in production, is performing a val uable function which may prove of great aid to individual farmers. It is a function which may be extended with greaf profit to agriculture. DETROIT Kresge Bldg. YOUR SHRINKING DOLLARS At the bottom of an old trunk, Rodger Dolan finds » silver dollar in a pair of trousers he packed away just hefore the 2 war started in 1914. This dollar now will buy only as much as 80 cen have bought in 1914. In effect, 40 cents of the original dollar hs sappcared _ Phat is, 40 per cent of its buying power has vanished, as 2 result of the increased cost of living. =. Dolan has always been thrifty, but he is wondering if he wouldn’t have been better off if he had spent the dollar in 1914. On the other hand, 10 years have passed since then. If he had put the dollar in a bank at 4 per cent compound in- terest, if would have increased to $2 by the year 1932. * Money at 4 per cent doubles in 17 years 246 days. .. This phenomenal power of compound interest, however, Shas just about been canceled by depreciation of buying -power, due to higher prices we have to pay now. | - _ | The most pathetic sight in Germany is the aged couple’ avho saved for years to provide for their old age, and now find their life savings wiped out by the collapse of the mark’s| value. = =But did it ever occur to you, that the same thing on a “smaller scale has happened right here in America? Hundreds of thousands of old people thought they had saved enough to care for them in their old age. The rise in| ost of living has reduced the buying power of their savings | by 40 per cent. As usual, it’s a poor rule that won’t work both ways. And 60 cents saved now will be worth about, $1 later, not counting any increase by interest, provided the buying power of the dollar eyentually returns to normal. Whether the dollar will ever return to normal, is debat- ble. Few economists expect any sudden return. But his- Pe has the reputation of always repeating. And history =shows that prices travel in 50-year cycles—roughly, up for +20 years, then down for 30 years, then up again, later down, “SBpo0On:: % Lately prices have been rising again, but they’re stil! ts eh" lower than at the peak of the cost of living in 1920.

Regardless of how far the cost of living will finally , drop, the dollar saved now will be worth much more later in baying power. | > 46 MILLION MEMBERS Churches have about 46 million members in the United) States, latest figures show.

It had’ sume good boys and some who were not so good, xfd a few who were as bad as they could be. And as Johnny Cut-Out, in his spick and span clothes, was one of the good boys, the bad boys all hated m and made fun of him, I'm asham- ed to say ‘ Today as he went walking along he kept saying his lesson over and over to himself. “Use Smith’s ink— ten cents a bottle, ten cents a—” Swddenly there was a great splash and a shout, and poor Johnny Cut- Out was covered with ink from head to foot. “Sure, we'll use Smith’s ink,’ yell- ed some dreadful voices, “It cost ten cents a bottle, but we don’t mind that.” Johnny ran back home as fast as he could go, completely ruined trom head to foot. “Oh, whatéver shall 1 do, Johnny?” cried his mother. “My eraser won't take that off and no amount of new clothes will cover your face. You'll be a black boy as long as you live.” “Soak him in sour milk,” advised Nancy. And Mrs. Cut-Out did and it took all the ink off, (To Be Continued) (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.)

XLVI The “camp,” a large log house, with a living room, a small room ‘for guns and Gshing tackle, two | bedrooms, besides the servan' wing, downstairs, and eight be rooms above, stood in a clearing or the western shore of a lake nearly two miles long, and about thresquarters of a mile wide in the center of its fine oval sweep. The lake itself was {n a cup of the mountains, whose slopes in the dis- tance looked as if covered with tur, so dense were the woods. Only one high peak, burnt bare by fire, was still covered with snow. The camp was in a grove of Pines, but the trees that crowded one another almost out into the lake‘ among the lily pads were spruce and balsam and maple, The party arrived at half past mine in the evening, and crossed the lake in a motor launch. It wes very dark and the forest sur- rounding the calm expanse of water looked like an impenetrable wall, an unscalable rampart. There was not a sound but the faint chug- ging of the motor.

Some gasped with aston. ishment and delight, others were darkly suspicious, but all gave their word unhesitatingly to “for get it” while they were in-camp. Those that regarded Madame Zat- any as the most fascinating wom- an they had ever known, but also as an intrigante of dark and wind- ing ways, made a mental reserva- tion to “say a few things to Clavey” before he had time to buy his ticket for the Dolomites. Mary, having accomplished her purpose, swept the whole thing from her mind and looked about her room with pleasure. The walla were ceiled with a wood that gleamed like gold in the candle. light, and gave out a faint scent of the forest. On the bare floor were two or three small rugs, there were pretty blue counter. panes on the beds, and blue cur. tains on the small windows. ' ft looked ike a young’ girl's room and was indescribably, sweet and fresh. Her own room at her fa- ther’s camp, on another lake many miles away, had been not unlike it. Moreover, it was pleasantly warm, for thg caretaker had made a fire in the furnace the day be fore. A Window was open, and she could hear the soft lap of the water among the lily pads, bui there was no moon and she could see nothing but a dim black wall on the opposite shore. And the silence! [t might not have been broken since the glacial era, wher mighty masses of ice ground these mountains {nto permanent form and the alr was filled with th« roaring horrors of desolation.

Luxury in camp did not extend to hot water in the bedrooms, par- ticularly as Mr. Dinwiddie had had no time to assemble a corps of servants, and as Mary washed her face and hands in what felt like melted ice, the shock made her tingle and she would have liked to sing. A deep bell sounded. Doors flev pen up and down the vcorrido: which was immediately filled w im eager chatter. Rollo Todi stamped down the stair singing “Oh, Hunger, SweetHunger!" ‘The others took {t up in various keys and when Mary went down a mu ment later they were all swarmius about the dining table at the end of the living. room. This room, which was fully fifte feet long and half as wide, was lit by lamps suspended from the ce!) ing and heated by an immense fire. place in which logs, :that looked like half-sections ofsstrees, ‘were blazing in a pile as high‘as a small bonfire. The walls were cetle? and decorated with antlered deer- heads, woven bright Indian blank- ets, snapshots of Mr. Dinwiddie’s jnany guests, and old Indian weap- ons. In one corner, above a divan covered with gay cushions, wera book-shelves filled with old novels, A shelf had been built along or side of the room for fine specimens of Indian pottery and basket weav- ing.
