WANT NEW LEGISLATION.
nv Associated Press)

Pittsburg, Pa, June 9-Legislation
to provide insurance against loss Of in
come because Of illness or old age
was advocated by Royal Meeker, Chief
Of the United States Bureau Of Labor
Statistics, in an address on Social In
surarce in the United States" before
the National Conference Of Charities
and Correction here today.
"The next logical step after the re-
vamping and extension Of our work.
mems compensation laws would be the
enactment Of invalidity and old age
insurance legislation" he said. III q
practical way can be found, ! should
favor contributory insurance to cover
these hazards. However, regard the
payment by the worker in whole or in
part, for insurance against invalidity
and old age as mere detail. It makes
little difference in the results whether
the workers pay or the States pays, a.
10 demonstrated by the operation Of
the British n-contributory Old Age
Pension Act"

STORM CLOUD
SCARED MANY
Bad Looking Thunderstorm Came from
Northwest Last Night Just 1t
Midnight-No Damage.

Many in Greenwood awakened will
fear last night just at midnight wher
the storm that had been gathering il
the northwest for two hours broke
over the city. Windows ratified and
houses shook, bringing vividly to mind
of those awakenihgs from peaceful
slumbers the numerous disasterous
tornadoes recently told Of in the public
press. E
But the storm passed over without
damage locally. A heavy rain fall &C
companied with vivid lightning and
loud peals Of thunder. During the re-
mainder Of the night lightning played
over the heavens and clouds flew past,
indicating unsettled climatic condi-
tions and trouble for some one some
where else. The rainfall here amount
ed to .39 of an inch.
Reports this morning tell of heavy
hail south of this city which did en-
tensive damage in some places. No
hail fell directly in the city.
Some planters are beginning to fear
a wet June which very probably would
be in favor of the boil weevil.

SOCIALIST CONFERENCE IN.
I CREASING IN IMPORTANCE.

London, June 9-(By Union Asso-
ciated Press)- Prominent Socialists
from Allied countries began to arrive
here today to participate in con-
ference planned as an Offset to the So
cialist list conference now in session
at Stockholm. The Socialist movement
seems to be gaining favor, for it is
realized that in talking over matters,
the Socialists have found that there is
perhaps more common ground between
them than was previously imagined.
The present situation is that the belli-
gerent nations are not pleased for
peace discussions. There is, however,
a vast gulf between peace discussions
and a peace based on the aims for
which the Allies have fought during
three years. During the past week
the Socialist movement has grown,
greatly and with meetings held in the
various English cities daily, it is
doubtful to predict what win happen.

PENSION FOR
THE MOTHERS
Those With Dependent Children Should
Be Aided by Government Says
Miss Glenn.
(Copyright.)
CIV Associated Press)

!" Pittsburg, Pa, June Establish
ment Of pensions for mothers with
dependent children was advocated by
Miss Helen Glenn, State Supervisor
of the Mothers Assistant Fund of the
Pennsylvania State Board of Educa-
tion. in an address she delivered to-
day before the National Conference
of Charities and Correction.
Miss Glenn reported on the outcome
of recent state survey of the results
of the administration of the mothers
pensions law in Pennsylvania, under
her direction. She said:
"Too little attention has been given
to the smaller communities. Espec-
tally in rural districts, the only social
agency is often the board of poor d.
rectors, and modern standards of So
cial work are unknown. In such COM
munities the proper administration of
mothers pension work raised the STAN
dards of all activities for child care.
Legislation for mothers pensions
is in line with other legislation for
the protection of childhood. 1t reiter-
ates the new emphasis on the value Of
home life for all normal children. 1t
supplements our child labor laws, COM
pulsory education laws, and other laws
which render all children dependent
on their families until they are Of
working age. These latter laws place
an impossible burden on the widow un-
less some means is furnished her that
will take the place Of the fathers sup
port"

DAKOTANS LIVING CHEAPER
THAN MOST AMERICAN STATES

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 11.-North
Dakota is living more cheaply than
the average American states, accord
ing to statistics just made public by
DR.. E. F. Ladd, federal administra-
tor. An eighth of barrel of wheat
flour costs SLAB in North Dakota,
S1.51 in Minnesota and S1.63 as a
national average. Potatoes are 40
cents a peck in North Dakota, as COM
pared with 81 in Minnesota and a.
in the nation. Onions are one cent
the peck cheaper here than the ma
tional average. Sugar sells for 9.5
cents here as against 80 cents ma
tionally; butter is AT cents, as COM
pared with so; eggs, 43 cents the
dozen as compared with so; round
steak rs cents, as against %; hens
20 cents, as compared with 27; pork
chops SO, as against IS.
DR.. Ladd quotes Sorth Dakota fig
ures as the average prevailing over
the state generally November 10.
They probably will not apply to every
city in the state. AS rule canned
goods are shown to be somewhat
higher in North Dakota than the ma
tional average.

SALE OF DELINQUENT
REAL ESTATE TAXES
Practically All Farm Property Sold
at IL Per Cent With But Little
Bidding for Town Property.

The annual delinquent real estate
tax sale was held at the court house
in Minot Tuesday. The bidding was
brisk and most Of the farm property
sold at IL per cent. One or two pieces
sold down as low as one per cent. A
year ago, much of the property was
bid in at three and four per cent but
money apparently was not as plenti-
full this year.
Eastern buyers were represented by
local parties. G. A. Trzcinski, repre-
senting Kenmare bank, attended the
sale.
But little city property was sold,
only a few pieces in the original town
site of Minot and few pieces in Ken
mare: A little property was sold in
Carpio but not any in any of the
other villages of the county.
Buying in property for delinquent
taxes is considered hood business by
those who have the money, for a pen
atty of five per cent goes on at the
time Of sale and then there is an in
terest charge of one per cent month.
