The farmer has shown initiative, enterprise and will- ingness to adopt new methods and discard practices of a generation. The local bank has been ready with credit for livestock and the Agricultural Credit Corporation has justified Pres- ident Coolidge’s statement last August that he regarded its organization and operation as one of the great services to the Northwest brought into being during his administration. The railroads, in. initiating pro- grams and cooperating with other agencies, have written a new chapter in the history of service to a common- wealth by larger business interests, Business men within and without the state have sustained the Greater North Dakota association, largely be- cause of its farm development work including its sire, silos, feed crops, hog and pure seed campaigns. The daily and weekly press of North Da- kota, as well as the papers of Minne- apolis, St. Paul and Duluth, the farm magazines and financial publications, all have made the great task more in- teresting and effective. One publisher, F. E. Murphy, of the Minneapolis Tribune, has given the Greater North Dakota a revolving fund to speed up its sire campaigns. Business and professional men, en- rolled as members of this association, have contributed their salesmanship. The net result has been a chapter in INVESTMENT TRUST COMPANIES CAN DO BUSINESS IN STATE Two Applicants in New Form of Handling Insurance for Groups Are Licensed After weighty deliberation the state securities commission has authorized two companies selling shares in in- vestment trusts to do business in North Dakota. They are the Amer- ican Trustee Shares corporation of New York city and the Colonial In- vestors corporation of Baltimore. The weighty deliberation arose from the fact that the sales of investment trust shares is a new business and provides for investments on a differ- ent plan than has been customary in the past. ‘Unless the trustees are’ closely’ regujated, members of the securities commission felt, the plan is open to challenge from the safety standpoint. The practice of investment trusts is to acquire shares in a group of companies engage in widely diversi- fied lines of business. Such groups may include various industrial stocks, the state's history that must go down | transportation stocks and shares in to posterity as a mark in cooperative effort to inspire generations of the future, | Offering a specific result, to be measured in dollars and cents if de- sired, the review notes that during the past four years more than 5,000 purebred sires—dairy and beef bulls, boars and rams—have been placed on North Dakota farms. It also reminds that 250,000 sheep have been sold to farmers of the state during the Past five years, increasing the state's sheep population more than 100 per cent during that period.

The argument for their sale is} on the new service should get in com- the same as that used in urging in- dividuals not carry “all their eggs in one basket” but to diversify their in- vestment holdings. Organizers of the investment trusts claim that their shares protect even the small in- vestor against a total loss and insure him a return based on the dividends paid by the companies whose shares the trust has purchased. The difficulty, as it appeared to them, members of the securities com- mission said, is that the success of the enterprise depends too much on the honesty of the persons operating the Investment trust, unless its activities It would be @ CAPITSOL THEATRE and will contain as much information or views in 400 feet as does the regu- lar 35 mm. film in 1000. feet.

Of the former type some of the pictures listed include an 18-reel set of pictures dealing with nature study, a six-reel picture describing lives of American statesmen and a nine-reel study of general science. Georgraphy, electricity and voca- tional guidance are other subjects on which film studies have been made.
