‘PAGE EIGHT | STATE LEADING “UNION IN FARM LAND TRANSFER Ferm Prices Becoming Stabil- ized as Result of Sales, 1 ‘The Farmer’ Says SEE BIG DEVELOPMENT Increased Activity Is Noted in Business Lines Due to Large Crop What is regarded as the most! active movement of farm land any- | where in the United States is taking place in North Dakota, according to | a general survey made by The Farm- er, farm sheet issued at St. Paul, | Minn. , “During the last two years more than 2,000,000 acres have been pur- chased by local farmers and new settlers,” The Farmer says. | “This represents about seven per cent of all the land in farms in North | Dakota. It is generally conceded | that land prices will soon increase, in fact prices already are becoming stabilized as a result of sales, Low Production Cost “This big movement of land in North Dakota is but a part of the general development of the state. In 1928, North Dakota produced the third largest crop in history and, de- spite lower prices for grains, there is increased activity in practically all lines of business. Of course, North Dakota has made great strides to- ward diversified farming during the past few years and a large part of the state’s annual income is coming from butterfat, eggs, pork, beef, etc. “One reason why land is selling in North Dakota is because farmers have come to understand that low roduction costs demand farming on lower priced land. They have found that North Dakota will produce just as much as land in older states which sells for $150 to $250 an acre. New Settlers Move in “And now, North Dakota’s system of improved highways is rapidly be- ing completed and farmers are en- joying all the benefits of community life in the smaller towns and cities of the state. /Those who are buying land are for the most part local farmers. When local men buy ad- joining land, or tenants become owners, they do so because they know what is best. “Some new settlers are moving into North Dakota. This is regarded as the beginning of an influx, for the Movement from high priced land to low priced land is inevitable. Citizens Help Newcomers “The people of North Dakota have created an organization for the pur- pose of helping farmers in other states establish contacts in North Dakota if they are interested in buy- ing North Dakota farms. It is known as the Greater North Dakota Asso- ciation and is made up of business men and farmers, folks who want more neighbors, to help speed up a young state’s development. It has no land for sale but functions for North Dakota just as a community club does for a community.” STEWART CASE NEARING FINISH Washington, Nov. 20.—(AP)—The Perjury trial of Robert W.

Ed Patterson was host. Phat Willie Meehan, clutching a chicken sandwich, was telling Jack McCann between bites how to be- ae heavyweight champion of the world. |_, From nowheres, a set of leather jring pillows thudded and bounced on the oriental rugs. Phat Willie’s celorie-laden paw paused twixt luncheon plate and food orifice. McCann’s fiailers dropped to his hips. Mr. Patterson pounced forward. “Folks,” Mr. Meehan is going to demonstrate the only punch that ever started Jack Dempsey counting stars and planets. Mr. McCann will show you how he is going to take Gene Tunney’s crown,” said Mr. Patterson. And so Meehan donned boxing gloves for the first time in five years in a setting more fitting for tea parties than the prize ring. “Round one,” chanteda guest. Swish! Phat Willie’s 224 pounds swung a devastating uppercut that whistled by Sanger Jack’s ears. They clinched. Willie laid rabbit punches to the back of McCann’s ti Tl m rugs. The cut glass chandeliers shook. Teacups rattled as more than 400 pounds of muscle wrestled about teakwood tables, Chippendale chairs and French lace curtains. “Break,” Patterson yelled ducking | soi between the entwined battlers.

ABOUT There IS a way of overcoming the tendency to constipation. And here is how you can PROVE it. The next time your bowels need any assistance, don’t take the first laxative that comes to mind. ‘Take one the druggist can assure you is made with CASCARA. Just as effec- tive as using force, and it’s good for the system. Indeed, it helps make good blood. For cascara is nothing chew this bark, and live to an oid age without a day’s sickness. What happens when you cascarize the bowels? They usually func. tion well for SEVERAL DAYS. One more dose—no larger, and perhaps smaller than the first—and the bowels function of their own accord for a still longer time. Until you ; don’t feel the need of any aid of any sort for weeks-on-end. So, the only habit you get from cascara is that of natural and nor- mal regularity.
