Particular attention is given to the increase in sweet clover, alfalfa and sheep during the last few years. In 1918, only 15,770 acres were planted to sweet clover. A steady in- crease in acreage w.s reported until 1925, when 315,625 acres were planted. The year 1926 saw a drop to 184,055 acres, but in 1927 the acreage reached the unprecedented figure of 459,987. The first statistics on alfalfa show 24812 acres in 1918 and 28810 in 19) In 1920 the acreage slumped to 24,142, but since then has been climbing steadily, reaching 174,520. Although the number of sheep has since been increased, the number enumerated in the spring of 1928 was only 384,923 and of those only 11,514 were purebred. Hogs numbered 329,- 844 of which 15,972 were purebred. The state had 64,497 farms and a total acreage of 29,131,385, of which 17,543,027 were cultivated and 11,520,- 477 not cultivated. Stutsman, Walsh and McLean counties had 2,000 farms or more, McLean just touching that figure. The other 50 counties in the state had less than 2,000 farms each and 18 had less than 1,000 farms each, The number of chickens in the state was 2,835,105 and of other poul- try 215,130. The amount réceived for poultry sold in 1927 was placed at $2,397,888.71 and egg receipts at $1,609,623.71. Milk and cream sold during 1927 ‘were officially valued at $13,704,881.76 and butter made on the farms was valued at $720,492.62. The number of cows used for milking in 1927 was “Now, girls, let’s make this State Pilots Will Be Licensed Under Rules Of N. D.

It is a colorful romance of an Ara- bian Prince and a beautiful French girl, and the love scenes between the bronzed man of the desert and the pale Parisian blond are effectively acted.

Then, too, Byron, Has- kin has produced a marvel of photog- raphy, the glamour of the scenes of revelry being created with certainty and real magic. As for Jolson, he is revealed as an actor of unquestionable sincerity and amazing power of emotional expres- sion, In many of his scenes his sor- rows are tragic in their intensity, and exercise an unusual effect on the feelings of the audience. This is the more remarkable when one considers that Jolson has, always been looked upon as a comedian, though to the more discerning there has invariably been the touch of pathos which made it evident that he would be able at some time to interpret the tragedics of life as well as the lighter moods. “The Singing Fool” remains at the Eltinge theatre for today and Wed- nesday and Thursday. PALACE THEATRE, MANDAN Good cinema mystery thrillers are rare, and when they are good they are about as fine entertainment as the screen can offer. That is why ro jone with @ leaning toward cerie en- jtertainment should miss “The House of Horror,” a vitaphone attraction, which opens a three nights run at the Palace Theatre, Mandan, tomorrow night. The picture has more than ;mystery thrills to offer, however, for |it is also a lively comedy. Along with this feature will be screened the fol- jlowing vitaphone vaudeville acts: The jKeller Sisters and Lynch will be seen act. Vincent Lopez, world famous violinist, will present a program en- titled “On the Air,” featuring “The Twelfth Street Rag,” “Flapperette” and “Canadian Capers.” A pleasing bit of entertainment will be “When Dreams Come True,” a color classic, Shows start at 7:15 and 9:15, Mandan e. HINT TO MEEK HUSBANDS Akron, O., April 23.—Matrimonial ventures, in. which the husband as- rserts himself and turns “bossy,” turn out to be successful more often than if he allows his wife to lord it over him, according to Professor George L.

' Miners Instructed in First Aid to Injured Charleston, W. Va., April 23—(7)— The largest peace time unit formed to care for the injured is being trained in West Virginia to reduce the state's fatalities in mine disas- ters. About 125,000 miners working in the heart of the West Virginia coal belt will receive first aid training. Two years, officials say, will see a well trained rescue organization in which every coal miner in the state will know how to help his fellow worker should he become the victim of an accident beneath the earth. Already hundreds of miners have been enlisted. Within two years, Officials*of the department of mines expect to make the first aid course a certificate that they have completed th~ first ‘aid course before they may be employed. Care of wounds, treatment of men overcome -by gas and methods of resuscitation are included. in the course. hlegel bodies of 100 suicides from | see river. In addition, Schlegel says, he has rescued four persons from at- tempted suicide by drowning. He is paid a specified sum by the city for u each recovered body.
