IOWA A WEALTHY FARMING
COMMUNITY.
But Land ii North Dakota the BIG
Money Maker, Says Frank W..
YounQman.

Upon his return from Iowa, Frank
w. Youngman, the prominent Real
Estate Broker OF Minot, N. D., gives
out the following interview: When
tho N. D. farmer does his work as
we'll as does the Iowa man. we shall
see our farm land here jump from
present prices of $40 to $40 per acre
to $1O0
1t would do your heart good to see
these Iowa boys feed their stock,
hogs, sheep and cattle for the market
They are busy all the year around.
In one township that l visited in
Iowa, there is not a farmer In the
township who is not worth at least
100000, also when riding through
that state, one is forcably impressed
with the large number Of pleasant,
comfortable homes to be found in all
its towns.
Yet we, in North Dakota, when we
remember how new we are, have done
wonderfully we'll too, and with the
still further rapid development which
We are expecting in the near future,
We shah compare favorably with any
state in the Union.
The Iowa farmer is well posted in
the condition of n D. The short
crop last year does not scare him
In fact they came near having a short
crop themselves. They have passed

Miss> Ethel's Escape
By CARL JENKINS
Copyright, 1911. by Associated Literary Press)

When Miss Ethel Lynn set out from
her mothers home, "The Willows" to
drive to the village of Roselands in
her pony cart, the sun shone, the birds
sang and a crow called Good luck!"
after her. Not a sign on earth or
above 1t that she was to find romance
and adventure further along the road.
When Givoni Garibaldi set out that
same hour from the village of Rose
lands to plod up the highway past
the Willows" he was leading
dancing bear. The same sun shone
lot him and his bear-birds sang just
as sweetly for them-another crow
called his best wishes after them II
they were to meet up with romance
and adventure they had no inkling of
II.
When Mr.. Earl Hopewell left the
house OF his brother, ten miles beyond
Roselands. to drive himself in an auto
to the village, he also had the sun and
the birds and stray crow, and he
would have wagered two to one that

dering elephants. believing bulls, labor
union banners and drunken tramps
He f1attered himself that he had be-
come blase. and that nothing could
shake his nerve. The one thing he
hadn't encountered was a dancing
bear-a grinning, shambling. ambling,
shufiing bundle of fur, conducted by a
gentleman patterned after the model
OF Captain Kidd. At sight of the pair
the pony slackened his pace. and his
driver began to talk to him and as
sure him that there was nothing in it.
He might have taken the girls word
for 1t, but for the strong scent that
came down the wind. It was bear
scent and pirate scent-a combination
that would have brought chills to q
horse forty years old. HeBtopped and
reared up. Then he snorted and SHE'D.
Then he decided to 90 back home.
OF course. Miss Ethel called out to

ing school. and she used 1t on this oc-
casion. Both man and bear looked at
her in astonishment and shook their
heads They had never been in China.
They were motioned to get out Of the
road-to get off the face Of the earth,
but the man smiled. andsthe bear went
to dancing. That settled things for
the pony. He had that cart tipped
over and was on his way home inside
Of fifteen seconds. The girl went with
the cart and lay in heap by the
roadside.
From point half mile away the
coming Mr. Hopewell had witnessed
the accident. and he increased speed
and came up like a cyclone. The bear
was hit and sent against the fence.
and then he descended and waded in
to the pirate and ran him far across
the fields. 1t was a busy day for pirate
and bear. Under the strict rules Of
romance the young man should have
gone to the rescue OF tho distressed
damsel first Of all. but he was trifie
excited and mixed things up. This
gave Miss Ethel her opportunity. She
had fallen on soft spot and was only
Jared. She smiled when the bear
went flying, and she laughed as the
pirate fed. She could have got to her
feet and brushed of the dust and
picked up her hat-but she didn't AS
