PAGE EIGHT RENEWED HOPE 18 FORSEEN IN WORLD LEAGUE Session at Geneva Closes With Many Optimistic Despite Reverses MANY SEE HERRIOT Geneva, March 16.—Closing the mest important meeting in its his- | tory with what is generally admit- | ted to be, a constructive move of great significan for future har- mony in Europe, the League Nations council adjourned day night after expressing cere wish to see Germany ated in its labors by joining une League and thus play in the organ- ization of peace a part correspond- | ing to Germany's position in the} world, | If the council was unable to ap- prove Germa request for an ex- ceptional place in connection with the obligations imposed by the | covenant, it did, by voicing the above sentiment, her a great and unprecedented honor, for no other country has ever been bid to , take a seat in the League and a place around the council table, Everybody agrees that Germany can have a permanent seat in the council. F rst Word to Germany Saturday's action is deemed sig- nificant because it represent the} first word addressed to Germany by the Allies on a basis of perfect equality. Germans here following the council proceedings are openly pleased at the phrasvology of the letter which the council has sent to the Berlin government. | Though the document fails to share Berlin’s views that because of her enfeebled military cond she is exempt from the sanctions duty fixed by the covenant. hope was expressed tcnight that/| the conciliatory tone of the note! will enable Germany to find a road leading to the League which does not involve sacrificing either her, national pride or what she con- ceives to be her national interests. | The next act in the international | play, the desired climax in which is the discovery of a solution to the great problem of security, will be! presented at Paris, for thither many statesmen are bound to con- fer with Premier Herriot on the problem of a pact of guarantees. Many to Meet Herriot M. Briand left Sunday to report his impression of the Geneva con- ference to the French premier. Austen Chamberlain, British secre- tary for foreign affairs, entrained Sunday night and will spend Mon- day conferring with M. Herriot. Dr. ; Benes, of Czecho-Slavakia, one of the architects of the Geneva pro- tocol and still a stout defender of its under-lying, principals, will also proceed to Paris to talk w Her- riot, while Count Skrzynski, the Polish foreign minister, reached Paris to discuss the situation with the French premi: Despite the heavy blow delivered to the cause of disarmament by| this week’s action in the matter of the protocol, the statesmen appar- ently departed from Geneva with fresh courage to attack the huge problem of security. Several mem- bers cf the council said tonight that the real reason why the pro- tocol is lost, so far as its present form is concerned, is because, apart from defects due to hasty prepara-} tion, it embodies ideals too ad-! vanced for the present era. DEPOSITS IN BANKS RISE Big Increase Is Registered in Golden Valley County Beach, N. D., March 16.——As the result of one good crop in 1924, the farmers and the public generally have shown their confidence in the banks of Golden, Valley county by comparative statement of the the gain in deposits reflected in a, ’ business during the year, prepared by the Advance. The fig- ures are compiled from the pub- lished statements of the respective banks on January 31, 1923, and January 31, 1924, and are there- fore authoritative. No better baro- meter of the prosperity of the county can be obtained than ‘a stu- dy of the growth in deposits and the reduction in loans and dis- counts as shown by the banks’ statements. Individual deposits have increas- ed during the twelve months end- ing December 31, 1924, by $177,- 799.92. The deposits of every bank: in the county show a sub- stantial increase, despite the fact that many persons still keep in hiding cash and currency which they hesitate to risk to the cus’ ody of a bank, and which should be in circulation. The increase in postal savings deposits may be assumed to be as large in proportion, al- though these figures are not avail- able for publication.

Into the life of a mother, wondering as to the whereabouts o three of her off-spring, and then to hear from a boy she has not seen since he was a toddler of four y , there must creep some of the light that drives the shadows away. This is the experience which has come to pass in the last ten days to an eighteen year old boy now bearing the name of Schedel, whose present home is in, Indianapolis, Ind., and Mrs. Waterman, living in Grafton, the wife of an emplo; the state institution, and thereby hangs the tale. About 14 years ago Mr. and Mrs. Creviston were the parents of three children. “One day the hus- band and father disappeared, aban- doning the wife of earlier years and the mother of his children, and was not again heard ‘rom. The mother, unable to provide for the three children, had them sent to the children’s home at Fargo.

A letter written under date of March 1, th the Indianapolis postmark, was received the other day by Chief of Police Salter. The boy told the story narrated above, that he had been'sent to the home at Fargo, but that he was now liv- ing in Indiana, He wanted to know the whereabouts of his moth- | er. He said her name was Crevi: ton. Chief of Police Salter, start- ing an investigation, found that such a woman had lived in Graf-} ton, but that she was now Mrs.i Waterman. Now that letters have been ex-| changed between mother and son an effort will be made to find the! cther children that there may be a reunion day. WILL FIGHT. Carrington, N.

D., March 16.— Canvass of three counties of the 19 included in the third and fifth cen- sus districts supervised by H. O. Herbrandson of this city, has now} been completed in the federal farm census. They are Grand Forks, Cavalier and Griggs counties. All show healthy increases in the num- ber of farms. There are 2,098 farms in Grand Forks county,! which is an increase of 91 farms, over the last census; 2,133 farms. in Cavalier, an increase of 119 farm and 986 farms in Griggs, an increase of 28 farms. It is expected the work will all be completed by Tuesday. The record of census in these three counties have been shipped to the central census office in Washington, D. C. Twenty-eight ,farms in Grand Forks and Cavalier counties, total- ing 6,400 acres, have been abandon- ed by their tenants, according to information collected by the census bureau. ‘Twenty-ohe of these farms otaling 1,600 acres, are in Grand Forks county. In an explanatory note, the abandonment of farms in Grand Forks county is said to be caused by land soured by alkali. During the period of the war when prices were inflated this land was worked, but under normal conditions it can- not be made to pay. Reasons given for abandonment in Cavalier county are: Poor crops and low prices in 1923 and land foul with weeds. It was a case of farming at its best being hardly a paying proposition and several Those on the poorer lands, generally renters moved to better lands or quit farm- ing and the owners of poor lands were unable to get renters.
