Devine, immigration commissioner. “When we as a state get the fact over to the middlewest states that we are as good a corn, and better alfalfa and sweet clover state than they, land values will increase in propor- tion as the above stated crops in- crease, especially when there is some- thing alive on the farm to consume these crops,” Devine said today. “When we succeed in hammering home to all states east of us to the Ohio river that North Dakota can ‘produce as good a milk cow as Minne- sota or Wisconsin, as good a steer, hog, sheep and round them up for the market at less overhead on our Jow level price land, than can Iowa or Illinois, the immigration movement to secure farr. homes in this state will be in full swing. “Corn, hogs, beef stock, cream, poultry have made the great agricul- tural states of Minnesota, Iowa, Wis- consin and Illinois, What these A More corn; supported by more for- age crops and something alive on the farm to consume these crops, is the dependable solution for occasional grain crop failures, Mr, Devine said. “The primary object for which the state corn show was created,” he con- tinued, “was that through the annual gathering of corn from every county in the state and placing on exhibit these specimens, a healthy rivalry would be created. in the growing of more and better corn.” He urged state citizens and legis- lators to get behind the show 100 per cent because it is succeeding in its purpose of interesting farmers in pro- ducing more and better corn each THREE KILLED, FOUR HURT IN COLLISION Fatalities Occur When Two Mail Trains Crash Head-On at Cleveland, Ohio Cleveland, Oct. 17.—(#)—Two mail trains of the Big Four railroad smashed headon within the city early today, killing three men and injuring four others.

SCHOOLS OBLIGATED T0 BUILD CHARACTER, CHRISTIANSON SAYS; Minnesota Governor Declares; Home Has Neglected Teach- ing Good Morals Character building to combat the | wave of civic degeneracy now sweep- ing over our nation was urged by Governor Theodore Christianson of Minnesota in an address last evening at the city auditorium at the open- ing meeting of the southwest section of the North Dakota Education as- sociation. This need for moral education, neg- | lected in the homes of today, offers @ fertile field for the conscientious teacher, for it is the only weapon which can successfully combat the growing tendency toward lawlessness, the governor believes. The speaker was introduced by Governor George F. Shafer, who paid high tribute to) the head of our neighboring state as an educator, an orator and an execu- tive. Has Three Essentials Speaking on the theme, “Educa- tion for Sufficient Life,” the Minne- sota governor declared that educa- tion has three essentials: Knowledge, enthusiasm, and direction along the right lines. It is not enough that knowledge be organized and classi- fied, but it must be presented so that it is readily assimilated and will be available for use, the governor said. In addition, this information must be organized, definite and suited to the practical needs of the world. He deplored the modern tendency of young people to read everything, but retain little of it. Teachers were | urged to impress upon students in/ their care that more is to be gained by a serious study of the great class- | ies than by a hurried reading of all | the books available. “We read too much,” the speaker | declared, “and in the attempt to cov- er so much territory, we fail to store away this information in a methodi- cal manner so that it may be put to use.” A teacher must do more than mere- ly present knowledge in an orderly way, however, it was pointed out. She must inspire in the pupil a great en- thusiasm for learning and a desire for a fuller and richer life. Schools Must Be Competent “No nation,” said Governor Chris- tianson, “can be great without a com- petent school system for the training of experts and the directing of their efforts along the lines most profit- able to the country.” He pointed to Germany and its thorough education- al organization, showing how that na- tion has used her knowledge to con- serve her own resources, maintaining herself by manufacturing the pro- TRADE COMMISSION WILL ACT ON PLEA Devine Says Corn Show Boosts Land Value.

Latter Contends That Grain - Trade Is Disseminating Prop- aganda Against Board WAS OFFICIALLY REQUESTED Chief, Examiner for Probers Says It Will Take Month to Get Work Started ‘Washington, Oct. 17.—()—The fed- eral trade commission scday ordered an investigation of farm board com- | plaints that the grain trad: was dis- seminating propaganda prejudicial to the board.

Anderson said the start cf the in- vestigation might be delayed more j than a month because of procedure calling first for citations and answers. Hearings then would be held. LABOR FEDERATION SEEKING TO AMEND PROHIBITION LAW Favor 2.75 per Cent Beer, but Reject Proposal to Support Dry Act Repeal Boston, Oct. 17—(7)}—The Amer- ican Federation of Labor today re- iterated its committment to a policy in favor of modification of the Vol- stead Act to permit 2.75 per cent beer and defeated resolu‘ions demanding repest-eyriie eightednth amendment and the Volstead Act. The prohibition problem was dis- Posed of without the debate that hac been anticipated since the opening of the convention. The only delegates to speak on the defeated resolutions were the authors, Arthur J. Beaure- gard of the Providence Central Fed- erated Union, and Edward .Flore, of the Hotel and Restaurant Employes and Beverage Dispensers’ Interna- tonal Alliance. Flore protested that the delegates had been deprived by “the clever maneuvering of the resolutions com- mitee” of an opportunity to discuss the defeated resolutions. The resolution proposed by Beaure- gard, asking the convention to go on record as favoring repeal of the Vol- stead Act was reported unfavorably by the resoltuions committee. The resolutions committee also re- ported unfavorably the resolution sponsored by Flore, urging repeal of the eighteenth amendment and “in- stallation by the states of a method of controlled and restricted distribu- tion which will prevent the exploita- tion of the liquor. traffic for uncon- scionable profits and not only do away with prevailing speakeasies and secret drinking, but prevent the reap- Pearance of any unregulated system and the political iniquities which ac- company it.” With the prohibition question dis- Posed of, the convention turned its attention to anti-injunction legisla- tion. The committee on resolutions recommended that organized labor work for the election of candidates who favor anti-injunction legislation and the defeat of those who oppose it. Linton Takes Double Care Against Fires As Tank Is Repaired Linton, N. D., Oet. 17.—Linton is taking double precautions against fires this week because water force temporarily is low.
