HE'LL WANTED

How many men with families watch
the columns OF the daily papers, scan
ming anxiously the Help Wanted"
pages. How many men in Grand Forks
good strong, healthy men. born and
raised on farms. good farmers natur-
ally.-know all about raising vege-
tables. chickens. ducks,-who knows
how many of such men are working
ten hours day. every day. harder
than they ever worked on the farm,
and earning-what? Barely enough
money to buy the actual necessities Of
hfe-moving from house to house
because 1t Is easier to move than pay
rent, all the money gone for flour and
coal. No prospects of saving a cent
or OF ever owning a home, always
working by day. How many men
know that the same amount Of work
expended on a small piece Of good
land. say 10 acres, close to a town
like Grand Forks. can be made to
yield good living besides nearly
paying for itself each year. The Kent
Realty & Investment Corporation is
the owner of dozen or more of the
small farmsgonly mile or SO from
Grand Forks-just across the Red
river from the Town and Country
club. on Kent Realty Point. The rich
est land in the whole Red River VAL
ley. Think of it. nearly 200 acres
which, if properly cultivated and cared
for will produce 500 per acre each
year. There is an excellent oppor-
tunity for few good men. We are
willing to enter into any reasonable
business arrangement with reliable
men. Men who are willing to work.
Men who want home. We are will
ing to talk business with the right
kind of a man whether he has any
money or not. We are anxious to see
these rich garden tracts all under cul-
tivation and making number of fam
lilies happy.

2O5.7 SOUTH THIRD ST

-
Washington. D. c., April 15.-All the
municipal governments heretofore eX-
listing in the isthmian canal zone are
abolished by the new regulations which
go into effect today. The new order
of things makes wholesale changes
with a view to harmonizing the vari-
Gus parts of the zone and making more
effective the machinery of government.
The five municipal governments are
replaced by four administrative dis
tricts which will be under the direct
control of the canal commissioners. 1t
is estimated that the total saving to
the United States under the reorgan-
lied government in the zone will be
about 100000 year. The new regu-
lations also provide several important
changes in the marriage laws and the
penal code of the zone.
