CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON — a (Official City, State and County Newspaper) Economic Conferences This year's series of economic conferences in North | Dakotr «--ns at Mandan, today, with the assembly, it | is hoped, of eppres!:-ately 300 leading farmers ¢* the | Morton county That is an indication of the con- ceded importane of these conferences, the aim of whi is to deve op ¢~<icul’ “ral promrams suited to the various communitic: 25 bases for their farming. That is, + cere Gairying is the edmittedly most adapted activity, that it be made t*> main branch of the community's agri- culture; where other activ!’:es will do best, to devote the economic arca—generally a eounty—to such. In this way whee -~->: are led to devote themselves | chiefly to that grain in their scheme of diversification. | the bridze tragedy. Arees where hogs thrive best end with greatest profit Naturally -re fitted inte t:* economic program with that activity stres Corn, alfalfa, seed production, poultrying. sugar beet growing, potatoes, ali come to be assigned their chicf areas and their ratio in the di- versified farming pro-rams. These then are worked out under the guidance of the county agent's office. This is an intelliecn' way -* -~-anizing agriculture. It 4s farm relief by the farmers themselves. Wherever it has been tried it has worked great benefits to the farmers. Over in Montana the whole state has been or- ganized o2 this basis. The Anaconda Copper company thought so much of the idea that, as the state's chief in- dustrial and financial power, it put its influence back of the cconomic plan and financed much.of the organiza- tion. The result was that the northern part of the state, aroun’ Havre, known as “The Triangle,” where agriculture had had a rather precarious tenure as long as it was attempted to make it produce steady crops of Profitable wheat, switched its emphasis to hogs and Tye. At once it found the type of farming that would work out there, by feeding the rye to the hogs. The Triangle began to stand for prosperous agriculiure in- stead of uncertain crops. ‘The Billings arca put its stress on sugar beets, the Bitter Root valley on fruit, the section north of Miles City on alfalfa seed, the southwest area on sheep. All sections turned to diversification, Billings, Bezeman and Red Lodge to pea and corn canning in addition to the main crons of their programs. This has worked out finely. It has resulted in standard brands of products, Which, because of their reputations, command prefer- énee among dealers and buyers. North Dakots. lacking t'- gencral organization of the counties ver expert agenis, has not yet worked | out this economic program on the same scale as some | other states of the Northwest, but it is being developed | steadily now. Burleigh county already has been put on this basis and next spring it i; proposed to hold another fonference here for adjustment of the county to the istrict in which it is the hub. After two days at Mandan, the conference promoter, Rex Willard, farm menagement expert of the Agricul- tural college at Fargo, will proceed to organize the county at 2 conference at Carson, October 23-24; Slope- Hettinger counties at New England, October 25-26; Golden Valley county at Beach, October 28-29; and Start: county at Dickinson, Octcber 20-31. | Thus North Dakota marches by steady steps to its manifest destiny as th: great agricultural empire of the Northwest. Out of such organizations as these eco- nomic programs will result a more intelligent appor- | tionment of crops to the areas suited to them, a more infermed development of farming methods and an ex- pansion of the vari~- types of animal husbandry in beef cattle, dairy herds and poultrying. It promises ™much for the welfare of the state's chief industry. | Proposing Strings on Parley The strength of the proposed international naval lim- Mtation conference lies in the factor of race as race and ‘ts possible weakness in race as nationalism. President Hoover and Ramsay MacDonaid were able | to get together with virtual unanimity on the matter because of the virtual unity of the English people and the American. Origin and language provided the cul- tural sameness for similarity of thought on the world’s Present greatest question and aspiration, and that is dtation if it is to become an effective measure in the di- ection of peace. _ _ But when the racial element in the project is regarded from the angle of nationalism it is apparent that the | Editorial Comment | ancestral Barclay’s lines, written in 1514: ing of the Washington conference four-power pact. To impose additional objectives on the project as agreed on by President Hoover and Premier MacDonald would seem to multiply the difficulties again. The Hoover-Mac- Donald agreement would approach the problem with the maximum of simplicity compatible with concrete Possibilities in results. Why disrupt that? Why not pro- ceed a step at a time, with sure-footed diplomacy in- stead of disconcerting pervasiveness? In Washington it is regarded as likely that Italy will ; Hot be alone in this disturbing attitude of Putting too many peace eggs in one basket again. France is ex- ected to take a like stand. It is not roassuring. It has Sn inimical suggestiveness about it. A Cover-up Verdict | ‘The verdict of the coroner's jury at Mandan, in the Memorial bridge tragedy, wr another scrap of paper. It was abortive. It wasted an opportunity, Two people were killed as the result of reckless driv- ing, which has been the bane of the memorial highway | 0n the Morton er-nty side. Both Bismarck and Mandan car owners take chances on that stretch of the road— chences of injuring or killing themselves. Now, risk of their own lives and limbs by automobdtilists implies peril to other motorists using the road. Thus we have a situation calling for restraint of the reckless element on the road, control of traffic which, | as on this side, will eliminate the menace of tragedies such as that of Sunday a week azo. The coroner's inquest easily might have gone com- pletely into this pha-e of *» tragedy which cost the lives of Lloyd DeLong and Philip Koch. Their killing might have been made the basis of a recommendation to the proper authorities that the memorial highway be made safe for traffic on the Morton side of the river by & patrol such as Bismarck maintains on this side. This! was not done. The inquest was not an inquest on the tragedy at all. It was an inquest on another subject. It sought to draw the curtain on that other subject, which was not before the inquisition, except as nine bottles of beer were found in the wrecked car. The testimony was that nobody in the car was drunk or had been drinking. That left the reckless driving as the permissibly censurable element of And that, as said, might at least | have produced a recommendation for some form of safety | to be applied to the ---4. Prosecution of one beer seller in Mandan—which is not at all certain—is not the solution of this situation. It is an unconscious confession. It is nct the protection | one might suspect to have been aimed at in the verdict reached. It is not the protection those who make up the | traffic of the memorial road have a right to expect. It means peril to both the road and the unmentioned | activity on which the inquest seems to have sat. If| there comes a blowup, it is not inconceivable that the | inquest verdict will be the lighted fuse to set it off. A verdict in such a case might appropriately be: Blown up in the house of friends. Students at the University of Minnesota have been suspected of sending substitutes to take their examina- tions. Well, what's a football player supposed to do? British writer says he eats raw onions just like apples. That should be a great help in keeping not only doctors | away but everybody else. In these days of advanced wisdom Solomon would be rated an old fogy. When Football Was a Crime (New York Times) This country is still much younger than England was in 1514. Yet, although several centuries of civilization had then been known in the island, the authorities in that year were busy trying to enforce a sort of prohibi- tion. They never succeeded very well, for a few hun- dred years later they were still issuing Prociamations on the subject. Finally they gave it up, cnd the time came i when all Englishmen cheered the remark of the duke of Wellington that Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton. It was football which England for so many cen- turies sought to prohibit, and, if American liquor laws | seem particularly humorous to them now, the American | mind the British how seriously their ancestors regarded what now is an approved and established form of play. The information is distributed at a time of year when, each Saturday. great throngs in this country fill the college amphitheaters. As now played in the United States, football is rather a different game from Rugby, and entirely unlike the “football” against which the mayors and sheriffs of London were inveighing from the fourteenth century onward. That, under the name i of soccer or “old Gaelic,” continues to be played, but i the football game wherein the ball is carried part of the time by the players is most widespread.

She grew rather furious over it as the min- utes went by and Helen sat calmly turning the pages of the magazine (though she was anything but calm beneath her exterior). “The girl looks a decent sort,” she told herself as the nucleus of a form in ber mind. “She won't stand for much dirt.” | She put down her cigarct and holder and looked at a clock on the| martel, It was very close to 12 o'clock. “Leonard invited me to lunch,” she remarked offhandedly, ending in a laugh. “Were you included?” she added, compelling herself to speak gracious!: eee ELEN saw no reason to lie to her, let her think what she would. “As you suggested,” she sald evenly, “I am. trying to catch Mr. Brent on the wing—on business that is very important to him.” “Of course,” Carmel agreed pleasantly, “but no doubt he will wish you to stay to lunch. Gen- erally he leaves it to me to sec that there is something to eat.” She reached up and took off her hat, adding carelessly, “when we don't go out.” Helen began then to wonder as much about Carmel as Carmel had been wondering about her. Why should this woman take other women so casually in regard to Leonard? Had she some secret right to him that gave her se. curity? Helen discarded the thought as unworthy of herself and an injus- tice to Brent. She knew, she told herself, that the women of his ac- quaintance were colorful individ uals, not at all concerned with con- ventionality. But Leonard had professed to love only her; be could not be interested in anyone else.
