M. Devine, com- missioner of immigration, reviewed the economic history of the state since wheat sold for $2.26 a bushel during the war and also cited the re- sources that must operate for the fu- ture prosperity and greatness of the commonwealth, ‘The day’s topics for the secretaries covered the range of the freight rate actions before the Interstate Com- merce commission, booster, marketing and country-city relation activities in the various cities and towns and the evening reviews on how to make North Dakota greater and happier. ‘Williams Shows Rate Benefits Neil Williams made the principal talk at the afternoon session. He is traffic expert of the Fargo Chamber of Commerce and he spoke on the efforts of that city to obtain rate re- ductions on a basis considered more equitable for his city and, incident- ally, for other cities of the state which will profit by any overhead cuts forces. That such reductions are of general benefit, he asserted, was shown by two reductions obtained, one on gas- oline and petroleum products in the ‘Tulsa case and subsequently extended to Kansas and Texas oil, as well, and the other on potatoes shipped to Texas, where they are used as seed On the large early potato plantations. The cut in the potato rate was 69 cents per hundred pounds, or $243 a keep up their economic blood circu- lating and promote their interests and growth. K. N. Wylie gave an enthusiastic description of the famous Harvey market days. On the third Wednes- day of every month that community of 2200 live wires puts on such a day in conjunction with an alfalfa day, an automobile show or some holiday celebration or a farmers’ entertain- ment. One firm on one of these days sold seven automobiles, he mentioned as a sample of the results that flow from the plan. W. P. Chestnut, of Fargo, went out- side of the state to contribute a Watertown, S. D., idea. To keep the cream check money circulating in that town instead of going out in mail orders, the stores have a cashing plan, whereby, if the receiver of the cream check buys a certain amount of goods, the store where the purchases are made adds ten per cent to the value of the check. The cashed check is, in turn, recashed by the creamery and the ten per cent addi- tion to it is split with the store by the cream station. Good Will Subdues Politics Secretary A. W. Furniss, of Man- dan, told how courtesies extended to the Homemakers clubs of Morton county have wiped out political bit- terness between the country and the city there.

The program of the association has five projects, he said: To help the farmers to diversify by placing pure- bred sires among the herds of the farms, so as to produce a better grade of dairy and beef cattle; to eliminate the dockage and smut evils in the state's grains; to encourage swine production; obtain adequate protec- tion for North Dakota agricultural products; and fostering the sale of ferm lands to responsible settlers. Big Demand For Farms Ahead Mr. Milloy said this feature of the association’s activities is facing its most active period. The movement jto North Dakota is gathering momen- tum and, in the next few years, there is going to be a great volume of in- quiry for land here from the farmers them the low-priced tracts the con-/tween them develops, dition of agriculture now requires to farm profitably. Mr. Milloy explained how the Northwest Agricultural foundation was functioning to obtain tariff pro- tection that would assist North Da- kota farmers, in conjunction with those of neighboring states, to get more of the home market to them- selves by keeping out imported prod- ucts that could be produced here on ELTINGE THEATRE Anyone who has ever left his girl- amusing situation in which Colleen Moore and her leading man, Neil Hamilton, appear in “Why Be Good?” the Eltinge ‘heatre’s picture for today and Saturday. “Why Be Good?” a story of a flir- Step ae girl, revives memories of su pal characters are Unusually understandable and human. Miss Moore, as a dance-mad peppy girl of the 1929 model, and Hamilton are seen in a romance that is both humorous and serious. The players are seen in jazzy night clubs, a bungalow on top of a skyscraper, and in the cheap but homey house. CAPITOL THEATRE Artistically produced by experts, “The Spieler” is in every respect a great picture. It deals with an ever- Popular subject—circus and tent show. life—in a highly entertaining manner. The story deals with a spirited young woman who inherited a carnival and who seeks to eliminate a certain law- less element that follows in the wake of her enterprise, and thereby incurs the hostility of several crooks. She has meanwhile met the spieler, who, while he warns small town carnival patrons to beware of pickpockets, is himself a thief. A love romance be- and this pro- vokes # series of thrilling occurrences which will hold the attention of every Spectator'to the final fade-out. Every feature of the story has been visual- ized on the screen in a faultless man- ner. “The Spieler” is at the Capitol theatre tonight. .

But this was different. It was not silent or darkened. The buzz of excited voices held to ‘a low tenor came to Huck’s ears as soon as he had opened the door. Along one side of the passageway were other swinging doors that ob- structed but did not completely con- ceal the view to the long room behind them. But Huck did not pause to glance within.

Bis- marck’s old rate of 9412 cents was re- duced to 83 cents, saving $67.50 on 2 carload cargo. Williston got a saving of $124.20 a car, New England, $118.80, and Dickinson, $102.60.

The Northwood state band tourna- ment was lauded as a good com- munity enterprise to creat amicable ties and to bring in business. Hazel Hanson told how Wahpeton Sponsors club work. H, P.

Talk Boosting Days The conference went into a sort of round-table session on what the various communities are doing to i by A. W. Furness, of Mandan, ’ as another fine booster stunt for a town. W. P.
