Independents, he said, do not op- pose building of as many elevators, terminal or local, by private as the marketing situation ma quire, but are unalterably oppo: to further involving the state such business ventures. The banking issue of the cam- paign Shafer said divides itself into these questions: 1. Shall we abandon the present conservative policy of operating the Bank of North Dakota as a farm Joan and public depositary bank and operate it as a commercial bank in re-| competition with private banks of| ‘! the state. 2. Shall we authorize the estab- lishment of branches of the Bank of North Dakota in the various coun- ties of the state. Bank Plan This, he said, would mean aba donment of the present c: plan of operating the ban sk the voters to consider the record of the Bank of North Dakota, When the Nestos administration took office in 1921 he said the bank practically was insolvent and had tied up so much money in insolvent local banks and loans to industrial enterprises that reserves were near- ly exhausted. It had ceased making farm loans a year before and its capital was practically wiped out. Six years of careful management, he said, had restored it olvency.

General Electric Co. Has ‘Perfect Icebox’ The Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company have been responsible for t’ development of many of the electrical appliances in common use today.

Their latest achievement was re- cently brought to light in the form of a revolutionary type of electric i Their 64 engineers made and tested over 4,000 re- frigerators of 19 different types.

These features, it is said, have set a new high standard for quality in ae priced light six cylinder ield.

Power, 8} , acceleration and hill climbing ability beyond any previous attainment are being ®@n- joyed this year as the direct result of the combination of high compres- sion engines and high compression fuels. Chrysler pioneering in this ficld, we may say, has avain resulted ful observers declare that this new performance rating will force other manufacturers of light sixes to con- centrate more than ever before on quality construction and more care- ful attention to engineering details. The most notable departure in constructional features in the new Whippet Six is the incorporation of a seven-bearing crankshaft. It is For the second consecutive month, North Dakota, part of Montana andj pointed out that the Whippet Six is how white on the map issued by the United States Chamber of Commerce.

NORTH DAKOTA d Business Conditions the United States ally from March to true in Prices in North Da- rticularly for crops, reached Pp April 30 and have gener- ly receded since that time. Wheat e dropped but flax has at present, the pur- {chasing power in North Dakota is slightly less than 93 cents on the ed with 86 cents for cents for 1926 and 89 25. There have been seasonal advances in iron and steel production, building activity — and automobile production. Retail busi- ness in the United States was about 8 per cent less in April than a year and mail-order business was ly below that of a year ago. Wheat Wheat prices advanced to May 1 an the basis of expectation of a large abandonment of winter wheat acreage. When the May 1 report came out indicating a less abandon- ment than expected, wheat dropped again. The winter wheat crop has Cjaveraged 549 million bushels during he past five years and amounted to million bushels in 1927. On the basis. of the present outlook and the condition of the crop, the expected 1928p roduction should be about 479 million bushe! Durum pri advanced through March and April but the spread be-| ¢, tween durum and hard red spring was greater throughout April and into the middle of May than earlier. the middle of April. The vance in flax prices has been due undoubtedly to increased demand and consumption. A very pronounced fz in maintaining flax prices been the price of linseed meal and oil cake. These have been high because of the shortage of cotton seed from last year's crop. The outlook for flax Seems comparatively good.

Losses during th: vast winter have been small. The calf crop on the range as well as on farms has been good. There has been little restocking. On May 1 there were 28 million pounds of frozen beef in cold storage compared to 40 million a year ago and a five- :year average of 49 million pounds. Sheep and Wool The world situation with respect to sheep and wool was discussed by the secretary of the Ohio Wool G.owers Association at Fargo re- cently after a personal study of the situation in the principal competing sheep countries such as Australia, South America, South Africa and New Zealand labor is on an eight- hour a day basis and the cost of machinery and the cost of living on farms is very much higher than in the United States. New Zealand has about reached its peak of pro- duction. In Australia labor is on the basis of $20 a week and an 8- hone day with Satufday afternoon off. In South Africa there are about 40 million head of sheep and the country is overstocked. They have a serious,labor problem as well as a serious pasture problem. They re- ceive 40 cents a pound for their woll. The outstandingr eason for the comparatively low price of wool in the United States in a protected market compared to these other countries is the lack of quality and preparation for the market. i Hogs Indications are that the market situation for hogs this fall will be Every employee makes you feel he is glad you are riding on his train— Northern Pacific Ry. “First of the Northern Transcontinentals” : | TE Allee.
