oe a a SOCIETY NEWS'S Subecnian to Revise Federation By-Laws » Revision of the by-laws of the North Dakota Federation of Women’s clubs will be one of the major tasks of the annual convention of that body when it meets in Devils Lake Sept. 6-8. In the interest of economy and the clarification of club work, delegates will consider the question of having eight directors instead of six, thereby giving each district in the state a representative and at the same time making each director head of a de- Ppartmens of work. Originally there were eight depart- ments, citizensip, American home, applied education, fine arts, interna- tional relations, legislation, public welfare and press and publicity. At the biennial session of the General Federation in Seattle the committee on junior membership was changed to a department, making nine in all. It is believed, however, that the of- fice of press and publicity chairman will continue to be appointive. Other important changes to receive the attention of .the convention will be the merging of the offices of au- ditor and vice president and the joining of the office of corresponding ‘and recording secretaries. There also will be a dicussion of the elective plan as adopted by the Gen- eral Federation, whereby officers are chosen for a three-year term, with no re-election. If this plan is followed, there will be triennial conventions, with two council meetings in the in- tervening years. *e * Herman Bischof to * » Marry Miss Oberg Miss Esther Oberg, Mandan, who is to become the bride of Herman J Bischof, son of Mrs. L.

Editor, Tribune: It is, perhaps, presumptious or. my part to discuss economics but I have often thought that farmers as a rule @re more right than we sometimes think. When a farmer wants $1 for wheat in order that the wheels of industry may go around, he really has some sound arguments for his side of the case. Whatever amount the farmer gets less than $1 makes that much less business for the factories. production of wheat but that is not | the reason as all other farm com- modities are just as low in price as; wheat. condition and if this remedy could be applied there would be no more deep depressions. The gold standard is too inflexible. The gold standard is all right but something has to be added to it to make it flexible. The thing to be added is a variable factor. That var- iable factor is the index of farm com- modities prices. For North Dakota at the present time that index figure stands at 44, in 1930 it stood at 1.00, before that it was higher, in a month from now it may make the grade at 48, All wages and salaries should be based on that figure. Of course we cannot vote to put this into effect in industry but we can voté to put it into effect in putting the officials and employes of the state of North Dakota on that basis. For instance, if the present salary of a state official is $300 per month, we would want it to read 300 agri- cultural units which would be multi- plied by 44 and would then read $132.00 in gold. A school teacher's salary would be 125 agricultural units and multiplied by 44 would be $66 in gold. When the agricultural unit in- creased in value in comparison with gold the salary in gold would thereby be increased correspondingly. But, you ask, how would that pre- vent speculation and too high prices? Because if the agricultural unit in- creased beyond the value in gold the purchaser would prefer to use gold as a basis for his purchases, If a man bought a farm, for in- stance, for 4,000 agricultural units, he would pay at the present index fig- ure $1,760 in gold; if the index figure stood at 150 he would have to pay $6,000 in gold, which, undoubtedly, he would consider too high and would therefore offer $4,000 in cash instead, keeping closer to the actual value. J. B. FIELD. WHADDA WE KNOW ABOUT IT? Kintyze, N. D., Aug. 23, 1932. Editor, Tribune: Some time ago certain stocks be- gan to rise in price, while their earn- ings were as low or lower than {or months. When something beyond my un- derstanding happens I begin looking for a solution. Stock manipulaticn might be a small part of it, but seems no answer. Hoover's speech, some jclaim, is the cause, yet it hardly seems to me that enthusiasm over prospects for four years more of Hoo- ver prosperity can be the reason. Now, like Will Rogers says, “All I know is what I read in the papers.” I picked up a Collier's of a few weeks past and when I had read the edi- torial I nearly fell off my chair. For several years Collier's has condemned Russia, and all things Russian, both in editorials and in well-written ar- ticles. The editorial stated that there is $75,000,000,000 of business to be had from Russia in the next five years; that Russia had completed its first five-year program; that Russia had met all obligations on the scratch \ and that we should recognize Russia Potatoes, Vegetable, hes, etc., to yqur order. IN ALL DEPARTMENTS marck, There is claimed to be a large over- 7Say Iris:Should Be I will explain my remedy for this | COmPany. ! that our industries could get their share. Now to anyone who has followed Russia’s development it is known that the orders will be mostly for steel products and electrical equipment. Recognition of Russia at the next congress? Is that the answer? I, and I believe many others, would be glad to have you express your opinion on this matter. A NUMBSKUEL. St. Mary’s Studio to Offer Group Lessons Officials of St. Mary's school an- nounce that the music studio of the school will be reopened Sept. 1. At this time pupils may enroll eith- er for private or class instruction in Piano. The latter method of instruc- tion has been found more efficient for beginners in the opinion of Sister Cecile and Sister Herman, who are in charge of the studio. Group teach- ing, they believe, offers an opportun- ity for many children who cannot af- ford private lessons. CONTINUED) Asserts Platform In Sharp Contrast To G. O. P.
