Murphy, deputy state su- perintendent of public instruction, found this out, when results of a composition contest on “North Dakota is a very satisfactory state a which to live” began to come One boy wrote: “We have everything in North Dakota; we have @ new capitol that isn’t paid for—but nevertheless we live in a state without a governor. We can’t help that we have a gover- norless state.” The boy evidently referred to the state’s bewilder- ing change in heads of the state government during the last year. A second pupil declared “North Dakota is a very satisfactory state in which to live. A person doesn't have to work hard for his living. In the spring you till the soil and sow the grain; in the summer you can go on a.trip; and come back. in the fall, cut the grain you have and get it threshed. The winter comes, the people get on relief. All you have to do is to go to town, buy the things to eat, go home and stay until the next month's relief check comes, go to town again, buy the next month’s supply of food, and that’s all to do until winter is over.” Await Bad Weather For Seaplane Test Alameda, Calif., June 11.—(#)—The first bad weather over the Pacific will be the signal for the takeoff of the Pan-American clipper seaplane for another pioneering flight.
