Immigration Commissioner Devine Sees Success in Fair Tour * | North Dakota’s advantages will have been brought home to 171,000 persons living in Minnesota, low: and Illinois, by the time the three county exhibits now touring county fairs in those states return home, Immigration Commissioner J., M. De- vine said on his return from a week spent with the North Dakota Cae bits. “Last week the Stutsman county exhibit was showing at Bird Island, Renville county, Minnesota; LaMoure county at Marshalltown, | Marshall | county, Iowa, and the North Western | Development’ Association, which in- cludes Ward and the several coun- ties in that section, was at Nashua, ig Four county, Iowa,” Devine said. this week they will, in the order above stated, show at Pipestone county, Minnesota; Missouri( Valley, | * Harrison county, Lowa, and Guthrie} Center, Guthrie county, Iowa. Exhibits Interesting “The exhibits are interesting and pleasingly arranged. AN grain is shown in the straw as well as in seed form. The vegetable and fruits, which include pumpkins, squash, canteoupes, apples and crab apples, attract as great attention as do the| grain and industrial exhibits. The latter includes coal briquettes, clay, chinaware, Hebron Face Brick, scoria and State Penitentiary twine. Each county also carries, in open boxes, samples of its own soil, both surface and subsoil, placed where it can be handled and examined by the farm visitors, and hundreds of these visi- tors make this examination every day. “Bach tent has a registry book in which are taken the names and ad- dresses of those who show especial interest and express desire and in- tention of making a home in a new | state, We' expect that each exhibit will return with 1500 of such names, or a total of 4600, A follow-up cam- | paign of letters and literature will then go out to these prospective {home seekers in the Inte fall and 4, winter months. iMrs. E | women's on Mr yne Crawfor WOMEN FORM LEGISLATIVE ORGANIZATION : Thorberg, Bismarck, Is Chosen Secretary of New Unit toda: {The new body will be kn r controtled by women in which men have no vote. tivities will be « marek, was naned seer Hold Session Women’s organizations rep at the meeting were: W.

That period has passed and factories are now built to accommodate the market and with view to the raw material supply. “A decentralization of industry is taking place and factories are mo} ing into smaller communities where labor is cheaper and nearer to the source of raw material supply.” Pointing out that more retailers go to the wall every year than farm- ers, Van der Vries stressed the ne- cessity of active cooperation among] prisoners former jail employes were local stores in meeting new forms of competition direct-by-mail, and manufacturer-to-eonsumer methods of business. “The supreme court of the United States has held that house-to-house canvassing by the manufacturer is legal,” he asserted. teferring to the railroad rate sit- uation, Van der Vries stated the problem lies in tying up small roads with large ones in such a manner that uniform rates may bé charged for the same service. “Without this combination, a fair rate for a large trans-continental road would mean insolvency for a great number of small roads and large sections of the nation would be without railroad service.

Bandits A Attack, Rob Nora Bayes New York, Sept. 25.—()—Nora Bayes,, vaudeville actress, who used to do a comedy holdup stunt on the stage, was suffering today from a shock of a real holdup by four armed men, who mauled and threatened in an attempt to strip her of her jew- elry. The men surrounded Miss Bayes? automobile as she drove up in front of her home last night. Her chauf- feur, John Carlow, grappled with one of the bandits, and was shot in the right side. Miss Bayes and her secretary screamed and the men hit them. Frightened eventuMly by the women’s screams, the robbers fled to a waiting automobile, firing as they ran. The lavish array. of paste jewelry which Miss Bayes wears on the stage apparently led the men to plan the holdup.

PORRIDGE LOSING FAVOR Glasgow, Scotland—Porridge, the famous old time Scottish food, seems to be passing. The amount consumed today is less than half that cosumed 25 years ago, says a grocer’s report. Porridge, as eaten in Scotland, is made from ground oats, stirred in boiling water with salt added. No su is eaten with it as in England. Fish, ham and eggs are taking porridge’s place,
