And, for a second point, it illustrates the effi- ciency of the new mediation board, as it is the sec- ond case to be decided by the board, created under a special legislative act by congress.

With such an arrangement general it is not peculiar that we are rapidly achieving an era of practical good sense in our capi- tal-labor difficulties. A Better Arrangement Representative Cox’s bill to dispense with North Dakota’s state owned “Toonerville” trolley line that fails to meet either all the trains or any real Capi- tal City need, is a step in the right direction. With the arrival of the automobile “for every purse,” the real issue at the state capitol is not a state-owned, money-losing street car line, but rather more park- ing place for the automobiles of state officials and employes. In summer, the street car is practically “eating its head off” like the old gray mare. New that the city commission has practically ‘agreed to enter into some kind of an arrangement to provide motor bus transportation to such employes as do not own a car or can’t “bum” a ride to and from the state capitol portals, the last legislative opposition to placing the present street car among “Lew” Crawford's antiques at the state historical museum should be removed. A bus line giving service to various points of Bismarck is a much better, more modern and efficient means of trans- Portation and in addition would remove a real men- ace to traffic from the streets of Bismarck. Our citizens are anxious to get this car removed from two of its busiest thoroughfares in the interest of safety. North Dakota, which pays an annual deficit to provide this very inefficient means of ®ansportation to a small perce' should be equally solicitous.

When land was advancing in many farms were sold with a comparatively h payment. The depreciation entirely such equities. The result is that a large ¢ farms have been turned over to farm gage and insurance companies as well as to anks and individuals who had financed their pur- chases. Those who have held farm mortgages have made exceptional efforts to prevent foreclosure as they realize that the farmer of experience, with his business organized to operate the land, is able to operate the farm much more effectively than they could. These distressed farms have a decided ten- alues to a point which is be- low their actual worth for productive purposes. Farmers are usually the best customers for ad- joining property. Because of inadequate income in recent years they are unable to buy land which they Men of wealth who are seeking investments for their funds have| been discouraged from making investments in farm lands. They are not disposed to make investments in any projects which do not show a profit. The result is that there is now a “burdensome surplus” of farm land on the market. The purchasing power of all livestock is now above the pre-war average. All of the acreage de- voted to hay and grass, eighty-five per cent of that devoted to corn and oats is finally marketed as livestock products. In addition, the by-products of mills and factories in which wheat, cotton, sugay and other crops are purchased for market are util- jzed as feed. The favorable position of livestock should result in an increase in land values in the near future. : Land values will fluctuate with the income of the farmers. When those engaged in agriculture find their business profitable they will expand. The im- proved condition in the livestock end of farming, if continued, will result in a marked improvement in land values. There is every indication that land values have reached bottom. Any material changes will be up- ward. As soon as the present surplus of lands se- cured under foreclosure proceedings has been ab- sorbed there will be a very material increase in the value of all land. When such propertics can be ntage of employes.) secyred much below the current value of adjoining | land it would seem tg be a wise investment for those who are in such a position that they do not need an immediate return upon the capital invested.

Faith knew instantly that there would be no “scene.” Cherry had done for weeping and her self-casti- gation in the bitter loneliness of a prison cell. The Cherry who had come to see her mother for the last time was a Cherry whom her mother would hardly have recognized, if her dead eyes could have opened to ex- change with her best beloved child that look of farewell. “Will you let me see her now, Faith, before ee service begins?” Faith nodded, her throat too tight with tears to permit her to speak. he two sisters, their hands tightly locked together, passed from the liv- ing room, through the shabby old dining room, into the narrow little hall and on into the bedroom where Mrs. Lane lay in her coffin. They were followed to the very door of the death chamber by the officers of the law, their shoes squeaking in the funeral hush that hung over the whole house. Faith had an almost uncontrollable desire to close the door in their faces, to insist upon Cherry’s right to see her mother alone.

E. Rilling Tells Rotary of Work—Is Cooperating With County Agent Miesen Boys’ and girls’ club work is an established thing, H. E. Rilling of the North Dakota Agricultural col- lege told members of the Rotary club at their luncheon meeting this noon. “The big factor in the matter is giving the rural young people a place in the community life by giving op- portunities to work on the farm and its problems and to. work with their own property and through their own organiaztions,” Mr. Rilling said. “The principle of ownership is p fundamental incentive, causing the young people to take the interest they do. Many members sav life has been made more interesting by hav- ing something of their own.” Ages of club members range from 10 to 20 inclusive, Mr. Rilling ex- plained, and stated that many mem- bers had been in the work four, six or eight years. Several examples of youngsters who had made good in this work were cited by Mr. Rilling. Examples Cited . “A young boy started seven years ago in poultry club work—borrowing the money necessary to start him out. Today, he is a school, has a $500 bank account and an income. “Another boy started with a sow in 1924. It was the first purebred hog on his father’s farm. Today, he and his father raising hogs and are in partnership. Mr. Rilling, who is working in B: leigh county in conjunction with County Agent A. R. Miesen, is help- ing organize boys’ and gi clubs. | Pig and sheen clubs are being em- phasized. Dairy and beef clubs are being organized and poultry clubs will be organized if there is a demand for them. For girls, food or clothing projects are being emphasized, Sponsored By Local Clubs The local Rotary and Kiwanis clubs are acting as sponsors to the projects, especially to the sheep, pig and calf club work. For those boys or girls going into one of the above-named projects, where it is necessary to buy, means will be provided for them to borrow money on very moderate terms. To have a junior club, there should be at least six or seven members. according to Mr. Rilling. If interest in any town in the county inclines toward the club idea, its sponsors should get in touch with the county agent's office Daily trips are being made to dif- ferent parts of the county to or- ganize these clubs and the work is coming along well, according to Mr. Rilling. | -—108— In Club Work 1to2 Years Average 14.8 - 137 P $17.48 Livestock and Poultry value. $77.12 Savings ................ $20.68 Miscellaneous Property .... $21.68 The above table shows what 191 members of boys and girls clubs have accomplished, as determined through questionnaires sent out by the North Dakota Agricultural college.

This great work, which is acknowledged to be the finest example of the art of the cine- ma yet to be shown to the public, is a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production, which was, directed by Fred Niblo. The three years thet were spent in its making resulted in an achievement that could not have been accomplished in less time nor with less labor and study. To create a picture of the length of “Ben Hur,” in which al- most every phase of life nearly two thousand years ago is shown in thinute detail, without making a single error which might be detected by the most learned of archeologists, was indeed a triumph for every one co-serned in the vast undertaking,.
