Women Are in Industries
To Stay Says Selfridge

New York, Feb. 2s.-That women
have won a place in the industries
they will always hold is the opinion
Of H. Gordon selfridge, formerly Of
Chicago, and now owner Of a large
department store in London. who
spoke recently before the convention
Of the National Retail Drygoods as
ISOLATION. LAS q result OF the war"
said Selfridge, women have come in
to all of our industries and they
have shown that they deserve the
places they have won. They have
come to stay.
London is only 100 miles from the
firing line. II you go out few miles
into the country away from the noise
OF the city, the roar of the big guns
Is plainly audible.
THE most notable changes that
have taken place during the three
and half years of war are the COM
plete disappearance of snobbishness,
and the increase in the number Of
women employed in business.
Determined patriotism is being
shown by business men, who are
seeking to find places of employment
for all disabled soldiers returning
from the army.
when the war broke out and for
a. few weeks following that evCntful
day in August, 1914, business was
enormously increased. Nobody SEEM
ed to know-or seemed to care
what war meant. With the first call
to arms more than 100 OF the best
young men from our store marched
out.
But with the rebound came an
influx Of women workers in every
line of work; women in the street
cars, elevators and behind the coun-
ters at first and then in the mills and
munition factories.

NEW SCHOOL LAW
UP PEANS
TO MERGE THE.
DISTRICTS

The new law regulating the con-
solidation of school districts and the
changing of boundaries of districts,
will operate to delay consolidation,
in the opinion OF j. wv. Riley, super
intendent Of schools Of Cass county.
Prior to the passage Of the bill
Supt. Riley stated that the districts
figuring on consolidation could re-
move the boundary line If two thirds
Of the residents in each district petit
TONED the county commissioners for
such action and there was no delay
in bringing about school consolida-
ton.
The new law, the superintendent
says, provides a majority OF school
voters residing in the districts whose
boundaries are affected shall submit
to the qualified electors at the next
annual school election any proposal
to change the boundaries of any
school district or to consolidate two
or more districts already organized.
Upon ratification by the voters Of
the proposed change of boundaries,
the county commissioners shall ar
range the boundaries as directed.
The law simply blocks our plans
for rural consolidation in Cass county
and in the state of North Dakota,
said Superintendent Riley. Its
fallacies can be seen when one gives
1t careful consideration and thought.
The annual school election means
the first Tuesday in June of each
year. 1t requires more than a month
to get the money from the state and
then it Is too late as far as the year
is concerned.
"The people Of North Dakota
usually talk about rural consolida-
ton during the winter months at
club meetings and community gath
erings in the district school houses.
II the time is ripe they will circulate
petitions in the respective districts
IN order to get the required number
of voters to sign. Under the old law
when this required number was Sc
cured, 1t was a. matter Of only a few
weeks before the county commission
srs would act.
After ratification has been made |
oy a vote of the people in the dis |
riots, under the provisions Of the |
lew law 1t Is too late in the year |
Which is in June, to get money from |
he state with which to build, and it /
S about time for school officers to /
make arrangements for the opening
# the fall term. /
Under the old law, aid would be |
at date so that building |
operations could begin early in the l
pr1ng or as soon as conditions per-
nitted and the structure would then
% ready for occupancy with the
opening Of the fall term.

On n. D. Situation

st. Paul. MINI, March Farmers
Of North Dakota face ruin unless the
seed bond law recently passed by the
legislature is repealed or modified,
Pres. 70. q. Quamme Of the st. Paul
Federal Land bank declared yester-
day.
THE legislators by this act. I'M
questionably done unwittingly, have
made themselves the worst enemy Of
the North Dakota farmer" President
Quamme said Such a law should
never have been passed and would
not have been had there been real
statesmen in that legislature"
Extra Session Suggested.
The farmers are greatly alarmed
as they face the possibility of being
unable to obtain financial support
from the land bank because of the
operation OF the seed bond law, Mr..
Quamme said.
He admitted the st. Paul bank is
not making any new loans in North
Dakota, and has not since the seed
law became effective, He suggested
an extra session of the legislature
to annul the law may be the solution.
Automatic Bar Cited.
The matter which comes up in
connection with the new seed law in
North Dakota may or may not be
serious, according to the maj con-
struction which will be placed upon
the law by the attorney generals de-
partment at Washington or the
courts" said Mr.. Quamme.
The Federal Land banks can make
only loans which are first liens on the
farms OF the applicant. If the new
law in North Dakota prevents mort
cages now placed upon the farms in
that state from being first mortgage
liens, it would automatically stop our
service in that state. as long as this
condition exists.
This would present rather seri-
Gus situation because the people OF
North Dakota need the service which
the Federal Land bank of st. Paul
can render and should have it.
Corporations May Withdraw. =.
IF the law is such that it will
force the Federal Land bank sys-
tenn to withdraw from the state, II
also will force many Of the larger
and more conservative mortgage
companies, insurance companies and
trust companies to withdraw from
the state for the same reason. To
sell their mortgages to clients in the
east, they must assure the investor
their mortgage is a first lien on the
land; otherwise they would be deceiv-
ing the investing public"
