It was handed to him by Theo. \ahellek, proprietor of the Hotel Irvin, Kenmare, N. D., and is headed “DO YOU KNOW”? This business man after analyzing his food purchases |; or the year of 1923 found that approximately 60‘ of the cost of all things we eat come from the cow, hog or chicken |’ ind that the cow alone furnishes 40°. . ys in a little eaflet just issued: “While making up my books for 1923 I took a little extra ime and separated the amounts I paid out for the different articles! of food, and found that I had bought the following: BEEF AND VEAL...

" “These figures have interested me, and being that we are all interested in farm products, I thought they may interest others.” These figures are vastly interesting to the man who has turned away from the single crop idea as they show graphic- ally. the demand for meat and dairy products. They should be compelling evidence to the farmer who still clings to wheat to the exclusion of other produc CLOSED BANKS With the closing of the Capital Trust and Savings Bank of St. Paul, interest is diverted somewhat from the strictly rural sections of the Northwest and shows clearly that this state’s financial difficulties as reflected in its closed banks are small in the aggregate when compared to what obtains in some of the larger centers. The merger of the Merchants National and Capital Na- tionaF of St. Paul comes as an aftermath of the failure of the Capital Trust Company and did much to steady a condition that might have grown serious. Few sections of the nation which depends solely upon agricultural products for business activity are in as good condition as this state. North Dakota is fast emerging from the reaction of closed banks whose affairs are being econom- ically administered under the supervision of the Supreme Court’ designated by the legislature to see that all interests are safeguarded. . Despite the rather extreme picture drawn by Garet Garrett in the Saturday Evening Post in his article entitled: “That Pain in the Northwest,” the Northwest is not broke. Few who know real conditions took the extreme statements in that article as typical of the financial situation in the Northwest. The situation in St. Paul was brought about by “frozen + assets.” While St. Paul papers dismiss the failure as due to holdings in Montana and North Dakota mortgages there are doubtless other underlying causes for the closing of this institution which the examination now pending will disclose. Those sections which have learned the lesson of diversi- fication and whose farmers know that there is no substitute for ‘hard work and businesslike methods are successful. There are few closed banks where cows are, being milked, poultry raised and hogs fattened for the market. This im- mediate section of North Dakota is demonstrating what can be dgne through diversification. ' - HOMES The British government considers a plan to build two and a half million homes to end the housing shortage. The government would furnish the money and either rent the homes or sell them to families on long-tfme installments. This is subsidy. If a similar program were suggested for America, a cry of “Socialism!” would go up from certain quarters that shout approval when subsidy is advocated for capital—subsidized merehant marine, for instance, OIL Fifteen years ago the consumption of crude oil in America was two barrels-a year for every man, woman and child.

Approximately 3,000 representatives of business organiza- tions are attending the four-day ses- sions. Rehabilitation of European commerce which is expected to re- sult from the operations of the Dawes report on German finances was pointed to by Mr. Barnes as per- haps the most hopeful sign on the horizon of world industry, At home, he pointed to the recuperating agri- cultural industry and a perceptible stabiHzation of the public sentiment toward business as token of continu- ed prosperity. The present tendency toward re- trenchment, he said, was due almost entirely to financial uncertainty growing out of the present govern- mental situation in Washington, in which policies in taxation and trans- portation, the two fundamental factors in the industrial life of the nation, are awaiting determination. The decision will clear the track for business to proceed at full speed, if it is not made too late, Mr. Barnes Almost without exception, the countries of Europe today are mak- ing\noticeable progress toward poli- tical and economic stability, he said.

The review says: “Milk may be produced, manufac- tured into butter and sold to a house- wife within a radius of ten miles, but the price of that butter is determined by conditions in the four corners of the world, “No other article of commerce, ex- cept the precious metal, is so uni- form the world around as the pro- duct of the dairy cow, of which but- ter fat is the foundation, Whether it comes from New Zealand, or Nova ‘Scotia, Denmark, Wisconsin or Cali- fornia, it is simply butter when it ‘reaches the markets of New York, Chicago and San Francisco, and the prices in all cities, with due allow- ance for slight freight rate differen- tials, are practically the same. “During 1928 average pricea of dairy products throughout the coun- try increased—butter 17 percent, cheese 13 percent, condensed milk 30 percent, and marketed milk 17 ner- cent.” The dairy council said butter in- creased in almost the same propor- fone Tniddtive Kidneys pile up peta ga ishing with ena a the aid of « diuretic sient lant, havi ild toni pls Ae Wyre ii ful drugs.
