Jennings. His report to the conference of Land Bank officials covering North Dakota is of special interest, and follows in part: “In North Dakota in 1925 there was acre- age reduction in only three crops and a large increase in three crops. Production fell below in cnly three crops and the price was higher, consequently North Dakota came back in better shape last year than it ever has in my experien “The estimates for 19: how a decrease in hard wheat—that is, spring wheat. The best figures I can get on that indicate the maximum decrease of about 1,000,000 acres of hard wheat, but there is going tu be an inerease in durum wheat—macaroni wheat. As to just what the increase is going to be in that particular kind of wheat no ene feels like making an imate, but we are all agreed that there is going to be a erial decrease in the production of wheat in North Dakota. “There will be an increase in flax, and it will probably show a greater increase than any other crop because the price is more satisfactory. “There was a reduction in swine, beef cattle, horses an¢ rge increase in dairy cattle, sheep.

Everywhere there is optimism. B: “ing in most of the cities is proceeding in greate :5-than usual volume. No bcom is evident anywhere, just a steady advancement. Some activity in farm land sales are noted and inquiries have been good. This year should prove even better than 1925, as many of the farmers have cut down their indebt-| edness and are in a better financial position as seed- ing begins than was the case a year ago. If you were grouchy this morning, or unburdened yourself of a’“catty” remark, you're simply follow- ing your group instinct, according to Prof. R. Jy Colbert of the University of Wisconsin. Panies and runs on banks start in the same way, the professor observes. The professor cites thé case of a teacher, who by continually stroking her hair finally conveyed the fmpression to several of her pupilx that the hair should be kept smooth. Perhaps you have noticed that the prestige of a prominent man is often built up by the implications of his associates and by the right use of suggestion.

Surgeon General, U, . Service It is difficult to formulate fixed rules for the care of infants. Mow- ever, I wish to stress a few of the important measures that should be carried out to avoid risking the baby's life until the most critical period has been safely passed in the hope that these suggestions may prove benefi- cial to mothers. First of all, breast-feeding is most for the greater part of the first year if possible. If the baby cannot be nursed by the mother, modified cow's milk is the best substitute. Keep the baby ing hot weather, especially by proper clothing and frequent. bathing in tepid water. = Give plenty of cooled, boiled water. Keep the flies away from the baby, its milk, its nursing bottles, its nip- ples and all utensils used in the preparation of its food. Never consider any intestinal dis- turbance as unimportant or only “summer complaint.” Consul t your ; doctor at the first sign of illness. - ———______—_______¢ !

Pinwheels of flesh. “All girls are the same girls,” Barbara decided. “You can tell one from the other only by the clothes.

You must drink with me. We neither of us must know what we're doing.” Hardiman’s eye sleamed. She recoiled, shocked. It had seemed that the eye twirled like a pin- wheel in its socket. How near this turmoll of drugged senses brought the antipodean sensations of de- light and disgust! He leaned to answer her. “Girlie, I can't drink.

She was superior to. herself—a su- perlor Barbara this evening to that Door child who a year-ago (she re- membered it now) had sat through three mornings in a waiting room in this same building waiting vain- ly for Selvy, the “cabaret king,” to select her for one of these jobs of dancing to the clink of patrons’ gold. ‘ we She turned suddenly in her seat, glass in hand, and reached to touch the nearest girl on the arm.
