Birth of Juvenile Court. ‘ A very interesting account of the institution of the first juvenile court, was related by the judge. This was in Washington and was the result of @ message to congress on the sub- ject by President Roosevelt, who had his attention directed to the need of this by James E. West, existing President of the Boy Scouts of America. Roosevelt appointed West the judge of the first court.

M. Corwin Co. of Minneapolis says in a statement summing up its 1928 op- erations, The company sold 137 farms, to- taling 48,000 acres, during 1928, Mr. Corwin said. Last year brought real progress in liquidation of farm lands gated ata elie as well as in payment of mortgages. “Prices of small grains last fall prevented liquidation which other- wise would have occurred and much more land would have been sold in Tecent months had prices equalled those of 1927,” Mr. Corwin stated. Discontent Is Absent. “Although farmers were disappoint- ed, there was not the feeling of dis- content that existed in previous years. The market for northwest farms is confined largely to local buyers, such as tenants and owners of nearby lands. More Land Cultivated. “Despite all the abandonment that occurred from 1920 to 1925, there is more land under cultivation in North Dakota and Montana today than at the high peak .f cultivation and resi- dent ownership in 1919. This has been brought about by power ma- chinery and the conclusion of farm- ers that, with power equipment, they can farm more land and thus reduce production costs. _ “The solution of the farm problem in the northwest, I believe, is larger, rather than smaller, farms, with Plenty of power equipment. Diver- sification and improved farming methods are tending toward better agricultural conditions. Because there is much distressed land, with many holders wishing to get out from under, lands are selling for less than the intrinsic value, F took for continued improvement, but can- not foresee the re-establishment of the prices of 1920 for a number of years to come. For many reasons, I do not regard it as desirable that prices should be so high as nine years ago. Profits Are Possible. “On present land values buyers can make profitable incomes from operation of farms. Farmers as a class are in much better financial condition than at any time in 10 years, but it will require continued patience on the part of investors in farms, for ultimate liquidation. There is only one crop of farm and grazing lands and eventually all the good agricultural soil will be needed to feed and clothe our own people in the United States. Surpluses worr} us now, but I believe the Hoover ad- ministration willhelp solve some of the problems attending the disposal of them. In 20 or 25 years there will be little cause for worry as to disposition of crop surpluses. I be- lieve that everyone should have greater faith in the future of agri- culture in the northwest than ever before.” FORMER RESIDENT OF WILTON DIES IN BAST Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Gregory Pollock Succumbs to Apo- plexy in West Virginia Bechteld Pureral Is Held at Glen Ullin Fur ral services tor H.

PEACE BILL FIGHT AS GREAT AS THAT OVER BOULDER DAM Senators Given Much Trouble; House Has Not Had Any Lengthy Delays Washington, Jan. 14—(7)—When the senate began consideration of the Kellogg treaty an early vote was ex- pected, but today it seemed that it might give as much trouble as Boulder Dam before it is finally disposed of. The house has had no lengthy delays this session and it took up the war department appropriation bill in the belief that final passage was only a matter of routine. Q Supporters of the Kellogg treaty, led by Senator Borah of Idaho, are confdent that when the final roll call comes, the pact will have votes to spare and this in spite a “round robin” being circulated which would Pledge senators to support an inter- pretative report to the treaty. In addition to the treaty, the sen- ate planned work on supply meas- ures. Only one of these has been ap- proved by both branches, though five have been passed by the house. A controversy over the-first deficiency bill was assured when the senate ap- OMINOUS DEADLOCK SEEN AS SENATORS APPROVE PETITION Bingham, Moses: and Reed Would Have Senators Op- pose Peace Bill Washington, Jan. 14.—(7)—An oml- _|nous deadlock, unylelding to white house concern, gripped more tightly the Kellogg anti-war treaty in the senate todav threatening both the act and the cruiser construction bill. Fortified with a “round robin peti- tion” bearing 24 signatures, the Re- publican-Democratic group demand- ing an interpretation of the treaty in connection with American adherence decided in a Sabbath day conference to hold their ground against efforts to limit debate. This decision was reached despite stubborn opposition to the proposal for an interpretation by President Coolidge who called in on Saturday night Senator Bingham, Republican, of Connecticut, one of the sponsors of the petition. Unconcerned by the round robin petition Chairman Borah of the com- mittee, prepared today to renew his request for limitation of debate on the treaty. The “interpretationists” have an- nounced that request will not be al- lowed. This means more delay on a vote on ratification but Senator Bor- ah realizes also it means more delay in getting to the cruiser bill in which he is not so much interested but which the “interpretationists” almost to a man, are very anxious to get to. So the treaty advocates were content to hold against the interpretation and let things take their course. Meanwhile, the president who 1s concerned for both ratification of the treaty and passage of the cruiser bill, is doing the worrying. But he is just as anxious that no manner of reser- vation be attached to America’s ad- herence to the treaty. He insists that even a report by the foreign relations committee would amount to a reser- vation. Senator Bingham stood his ground against this contention and argued Propriations committee inserted an amendment providing for an addi- tional $25,000,000 for prohibition en- forcement. Even if the bill passes the senate there awaits another con- troversy when it goes to conference. Secretary Mellon is known to oppose the addition, House committees were occupied with familiar subjects, ways and means going ahead with tariff revi- sion, while merchant marine had not disposed of the bill to extend the life of the radio commission. On the senate side the interstate commerce committee had before it a bill to regulate interstate commerce in bituminous coal, while the Indian affairs committee was still involved with an investigation into the Jack- son Barnett case begun last week. STATE LEGISLATORS EXPECT BUSY WEEK Speaker Traynor Meets Difficul- ties in Assignments; May Be Delayed Getting away to a slow start, mem- bers of the North Dakota legislature took their ease Saturday and Sunday just as firmly that under practices of international law a committee report interpreting a nation’s position under @ treaty could not be regarded as a reservation. The round robin petitioners ask that the foreign relations committee draw up a formal report on the trea- ty embodying the views expressed in senate debate by Chairman Borah that America’s right of self-defense 4s not abrogated or embarrassed by. the treaty nor is her Monroe doctrine infringed upon in any way. Unless that request is allowed, the Petitioners assert their belief that it will be necessary to adopt a resolu- tion of interpretation such as has been proposed by Senators Moses, Republican, of New Hampshire. While Senators Bingham, Moses, and Reed, Democrat, of Missouri, who are circulating the petition are con- fident of getting more than one-third of the membership to sign the peti- tion—the necessary votes to defeat ratification of the treaty—they dis- claim any intention of defeating rat- ification. Likewise, treaty advocates are smil- ing at the petition, confident of votes to ratify the pact and of the votes to invoke the cloture rule limiting de- bate if a filibuster develo. They insist that many of the «.;;:.crs of the petition, whose names have not been divulged, will not stand in the way of ratification of the treaty. in anticipation of a more strenuous week beginning today. In the senate the work of organiza- tion has been completed and all that 190: Believed Due to Caner This Winter Keep and Vital—,, Take SCOTT’S EMULSION Rich In All Cod-liver Oil Vitamins Scott & Bowne, Bloomfield, W.
