N. D LOSES;
IOWA GAINS
MRS. LOUISE n. CAMPBELL, WHO
HAS GAINED AN ENvIABLE
REPUTATION AS. INSTITUTE
WORKER LOST TO STATE
THROUGH LACK OF FUNDS.

Mrs. Louise Fl. Campbell, a gradu-
ate of the home economies depart
ment, North Dakota Agricultural coll
lege, has received an appointment
with the Iowa extension department
and farmers institute. Mrs Campbell
has spoken at farmers institutes and
womens clubs and has proven her
ability in forcefully yet simply present.
ing the facts of better homes.
1t was the plan Of the North Dakota
farmers institute and extension de-
partment to employ Mrs. Campbell so
that she could accompany the insti-
tutes, be at short courses and other
meetings to give lectures and demon
strations on cooking, sewing. home
making, home equipment. home DECOR
alton and the kindred subjects that
touch the home. Through lack of
funds the North Dakota farmers In
stitute and extension department could
not employ Mrs. Campbell. so she goes
to Iowa, the leading state In farmers
institute work. Professor Holden, the
superintendent of the Iowa farmers
institutes, win likely be the next gov
ernor OF Iowa,
Mrs. CampbeIrs work will be to con-
duct girls camps. give instruction to
the village and rural girls and women
in domestic scienEe and domestic art;
to speak and make demonstrations at
farmers Institutes and women's clubs
and to conduct contests in cooking and
sewing.
1t is not often that North Dakota
has to take a back seat for any state
but this time she has to sit back and
see Iowa take one Of the workers SO
much needed in this state. One re-
deeming feature Is that Mrs. Campbell
likes North Dakota and at some flu
ture time when funds are provided IT
may be possible to secure her services
for this state.
She leaves for her new position sat-
urday.

GETTING TOGETHER.

North Dakotans are greatly interest
ed in the revival Of the back to the
farm movement. This state, being 30
strongly agricultural. should profit by
any organized effort OF that kind.
The slogan, back to the farm" was
sounded earnestly and persistently
soma months ago. It was the time OF
the highest level Of prices yet reached
by food products. This Is what gave
the cry It's popularity and its carrying
power
II was said that there are too many
people gathered in the cities and too
few left on the farmland that there
were not enough food raisers in the
country 10 supply the wants Of the
food consumers in the cities. Hence
was the urgent insistence that there
be . re-shifting OF the population, in
part, at ieast--in order that the situa-
ton be relieved.
Since that time food values have
become easier. but the demand for
more people on the farm Is as insistent
as ever. This is so chiefly for the
Fundamental reason that land-no mat
ter what it's fertility and Its capabili-
ties-is poor and bare without man to
till il, It lg the presence Of man that
gives value to everything.
Though the United States is prac-
tically all settled up, In the sense that
there ere now little free or public lands
yet II 10 far from being settled up in
the sense OF population equally dis
trihuted psr square mile. There are
yet millions OF acres in all sections of
the country yearning to be populated
and titled.
The back-to-the-farm movement
has recently been revived at Chicago
and in a somewhat different form from
that which II has taken on previous
occasions.
1t IL estimated that there are l0O,-
NWNsNIU acres Ot NAGnAN buA ANhithuie
lands in the United States. If the
owners of these lands would contribute
] cent fer each acre. there could there
by be raised q fund Of s1,O00,OOo, to be
used in bringing together landless peo-
pie and psopleless lands.
The recent movement has found ex-
pFessien in an organization, with Chi
cage as its headquarters. The con-
templated fund is to be used to further
an educational propaganda and to
shorten the trouble OF settlers-fndlns
locations suitable to their needs and
means.
The efforts Of the organization may
never amount to much. because the
funds n has In view may never be
foFthcomins-hut 1t IL nevertheless an
Interesting development. It furnishes
an attempt to solve an ever-old. ever
new problem. and one whose urgency
IN American life 10 beyond question.

TOWN BUILDING.


Real estate IL the surest investment
in tia weird. Good lots and improved
city property well located - never
shrink appreciably In value. They are
always acceptable a. security when the
owners desire 10 raise some money.
The eitiss-which have shown the
greatest growth and have enjoyed the
greatest growth within the last ten
yeaFs--ars those In which the residents
have shown faith in the city's growth
by buyiHs and improving real estate.
Every city needs stirring citizens
who win invest all their spare money
tn real sstate-and who will then i'm
prove this property and ada to the
beauty and attraetiveness OF the city.
Fargo affords as excellent opportun-
ity for real estate investments a. any
city in America. Prices are not inflat-
ed here. The growth Of the city is
steady and It's future Is assured. The
Lines OF growth are well marked out.
Real estate investments well made at
this time will yield remarkable returns
within ten years.
Let every Fargoan who il not now a
property owner turn his thoughts care
fully to property values and make a
study Of realty in this city. Such a
course will inevitably result in some
wiaa Investments within a limited
tisna. There are sood opportunities to
buy hargains every day.

rose to a point In Des Moinea that
something had to be done.
The men put their heads together
and discussed the excessive prices OF
green goods and other foodstuFs or
dinarfly. offered by market men. In
Des Moines there liz no central mar-
ket. Produce Is sold through grocery
men and other dealers. who were said
to be at the mercy OF combination OF
growers. Consequently campaign to
break up this food trust was started.
Il resulted in an order from the city
officials to open the yard OF the city
ball to ali gardeners-as place where
they could OFFER their produce.
The first day of the open market was
q revelation. New potatoes. which had
been selling at SO and "a a bushel, we're
bought by householders In the open
market at $1.75 a bushel. Apples which
had sold formerly for as cents a peck
were offered at half that price. The
market was opened at o'clock, and
by 5 o'clock all the hucksters had sold
out their produce.
There can be but little doubt that
much Of the high cost OF living is due
to combinations and trade arrange
ments-which extend ali the way from
the great manufacturer down to the
small retailer. Even cities-which all
ready have big municipal markets
may be just as thoroughly within the
grasp of q growers combination--or a
combination Of stalI-keepers OF the
city, as Des Moines was.
