E Finances and Markets

New York, July 20-Unexpected de velopments in the New York traction section threw the stock market into confusion today. Securities of the In- terboro- Metropolitan company declin- ed abruptly at the opening and pulled down the remainder of the list. In the later session disturbing influence of the traction tangle grew less pro nounced and the general market re- covered in many instances making small net gains.
 Another setback occurred shortly before the close, virtually the entire l list of standard issues receding. Aside from the traction securities, Canadian Pacific loss of two points was prcmi- nent The upward movement in h. lterboroMetropUlitan securities during the previous two days was based OR the assumption that the company would receive a share of the subway awards.
 The rejection of the company's of fer came as a surprise in the early part of the day and dealing in trac ton stocks and bonds overshadowed all else. The. preferred stock, opening with a loss of 3A points, later de clined more than 4 points, while com mon lost more than ?. The company's 4IL per cent bonds declined more than 3 points, and closed at a loss of 34s. The Hill shares showed exceptional strength.

Of course, the progress of Phoenix cannot be long delayed by differences of opinion regarding the proper length of a shovel handle. The long hand led shovel has always been employed by Phoenix street laborers, though on public work elsewhere. in railroad work and all work involving the re- moval of earth. the short handled shovel has been recognized as the most efficient weapon, though it Is a little more back breaking.

AN IMMENSE sum.


On Oct. 81. 1911. the records OF the
state treasury show there was--be-
fore making transfer Of $2s,S77s2
from the interest income fund Of the
hospital for the insane to the general
fund Of the state--just $S4.35 in the
general fund.
That's certainly going some-and it
looks like the stories Of the depleted
condition OF the state treasury had
not been greatly exaggerated.
The mystery is that Governor
Burke didn't hurriedly call the state
board of equalization together and
reduce the taxes. The $S4.35 was en-
tirely too much money for the state
to be boarding in its general revenue
fund. Governor Burke could have
covered himself with glory by reduc-
ing the levy few mills. He would
then had a slogan on which he could
run for vice prexy--or something.

THE HOME MARKET.


Home markets could easily be built
up-if the proper spirit was shown by
the residents of every town. If the
people would reach decision that the
community which Is good enough to
give them a home-is good enough to
furnish their supplies-there would be
an improvement. The fact that 1t is
an advantage to see what you are
getting should not be lost sight of.
Being on the ground with the seller
means much. He is bound to protect
his customers
Every dollar spent in Fargo is con-
tributing that much to the community
and the money is sooner or later
bound to come back. Money that is
sent out OF town never comes back
not only that-but 1t goes to help
build up other localities to the detri-
ment of that in which you live.
In trading at home and building up
a home market you are promoting
your own interests. You are advanc-
ing the value of any property you may
own. Give the local dealer the pref
erence.

N. o. FARM BOOSTERS.

Since the organization of the One
Hundred Dollar an Acre association
in North Dakota--the people of other
states are sitting up and taking no.
tice. Some are determined to have an
organization of their own. There are
those so enthusiastic over the general
objects of this association that they
urge it to become national in its
scope.
1t is now proposed to organize an
army of agricultural workers as soon
as trained men are available--and
place an expert in each county of the
entire United States. The idea of
financing the proposition is a three
fold proposition-part to be paid by
the county, part by the state and a
share of the burden to be borne by
the federal government.
1t is planned to have these experts
iconduct experiments within each
county for the edification and educa-
tion of the farmers of that section. It
is proposed to cooperate with the ag-
ricultural colleges of each state-and
the already established demonstra-
ton farms.
Cooperation between the farmers
the experts and the agricultural col
leges and schools should get results.
The actual demonstration farms
right at the door OF the man to be
most benefited-should certainly in
terest him, If anything will.
In the meantime North Dakota is
going ahead bravely with the move
ment it has undertaken. From every
side only kindly boosts for the plan
are heard. Great confidence is ex-
pressed in Mr.. Cooper, the man select
ed to head the work in this state. It
is believed that IL he can secure a
reasonably large corps of trained and
experienced workers-results will be
attained in North Dakota during the
next five years that will be of great
value not only to the farmers of this
state but to those all over the north
west. The plan will bring the agri-
cultural colleges and schools right to
the door of every farmer.

EAsTERNERs AsroNIsHED.

The following editorial from The
New York Evening Post is typical of
the feeling in the east-since the visit
of the western governors:
One of the most remarkable items
that have attracted our attention in
glancing over recent census bulletins
is that relating to the value of farm
land in the arid and semi-arid region
of the United States. For 1910, this
value Is set down as the enormous
total Of 310.4Ss, 900, 900, which at once
strikes one as a noticeable fraction Of
the entire national wealth; and IL is
more than treble the value of farm
land in the same region ten years be-
fore, the amount set down for 1900
being 1929, 100000, The 10000, oOO,-
600 figure becomes even more extra
ordinary when one looks up the ag-
gregate value of the farm land of the
entire country, as stated in the CEN
sus of 1900. This Is $20,439, 900, 0OO--
so that in 1910 the value of the farm
land in the "arid and semi arid re-
gion" of the far west was more than
half as great as that of all the farm
lands of the whole United States only
ten years before! Such lightning de-
velopment as this, throughout a vast
agricultural area. is astonishing even
in this land of rapid progress. 1t
ought to be mentioned in this con-
nection that the area of the region in
question-comprising all or parts of
Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho,
Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada,
New Mexico North Dakota, Olklaho-
ma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah,
Washington and Wyoming, and some
part Of Texas--is more than 1000, 0o0,-
600 acres, and is, indeed, almost ex-
actly half the area of the United
State; a fact which few people in this
part or the country realize. But this
has nothing to do with the trebIing of
farm values since 1900: result part
ly due to irrigation. partly to the gen.
eral development of the west, and
partly to the enhancement OF the val
ne of farm products which has 50
radically improved the economic
status of American farmers in the
past decade. One cannot help sus-
pecting, too. that something is to be
ascribed to generalization in 1910.

Bill Hogan's got the measles and Aunt
'Liza's got the grip.

How many great big 'taters was rails

How little Mandy Starbird is singing

How Bill Barker's awful busy a-fix-

And Dan Duffy's old horse Nero is
numbered with the dead.
How Jake Horn and his son Willie's
yarding in the logs
And Ned Hudsou's still a-drinking
and going to the dogs.
And see the Chester homestead has
passed to other hands
And the children, all that's left of
them, now live in other lands,
There was one am ing the number
that was once quite dear to me,
And / used to think Well, never

Oh, the coming from the old home of
that little weekly prize.
Though sometimes 1t brings a sad
ness and q teardTop to our eyes,
How lovingly we read along each item
TO the end,
An echo from the old home, so like an
oldtime friend.
How useless seems the struggle for
stocks and bonds and cash,
Outlines they lose their Turing and
all the lot seems trash.
How freely we would give them all to

And come in again to mother, in
