HOMES NEEDED

There never was a time in the history Of Grand
Forks when homes were more badly needed than they
are just now. There are fewer vacant houses in the
city than ever before. The building of the past few
years has not kept pace with the increase of the poputa-
ton. During the war years, while some building was
done each year, there was proportionatcy much less
than usually, and all the time there was going on the
natural increase Of population which shows no sign Of
abatement, and the further increase due to commercial
and industrial causes such as the development of our
iobbing interests, the establishment Of the packing plant
here, and the gradual influx to the city Of farmers who
are able to retire from their farms and to participate
in the experiences of city life. These things have been
in progress constantly and building has not kept pace
with them. Hence those who are in a position to know,
report that there is scarcely a babitablc building in the
city vacant.
Building costs are high compared with costs of a few
years ago. and that fact is often brought forward as an
argument against building at this time. There is no evil
dence that costs will be materially lower for some time
and those who are waiting for the return of an era OF
cheap building are likely to wait many years. In the
meantime they are depriving themselves of the benefits
which they could gain by building homes.
Home building is especially desirable for, and espe-
cially beneficial to, the. man of small means. Few peo-
pie who work for wages are in the habit of saving cash.
Most of those who do accumulate property do so by buy
ing some thing which they need and which is within
their reasonable means, and paying for it in small in
stallments. and Grand Forks has many homes which
have been erected by their present owners in just this
way. The opportunity to do this is as good now as it
ever was. Money can be raised for the building of homes
by any individual of good character who has just a small
amount with which to make a start, and the indebted
ness which he incurs can be paid out in installments to
suit his condition.
In addition to the desirabiNty Of homes owned by
the occupants there is also need for homes for rent be-
cause there are many who for excellent reasons do not
find it advisable to invest in homes of their own. From
all Of these standpoints the building of homes this season
is especially desirable, and it is to be encouraged in every
possible way t =

He said the shipping board had re-
vived the post of super cargo in
ships crews. their duties being to &C
complish quick discharge of argoe
thus avoiding port delays and some-
what offsetting higher wages for
crews as compared with foreign coun-
tries. Six hundred curgoe
will be in service on American ships
soon. he said.
. Contracts for ships are being cam
celled and adjusted so hat the mer-
chant marine will be composed as
largely as possible of fleet ships of
large tonnage. making for economy in
operation. he continued.
' He said steel plates and shapes in
America today cost about $50 a ton,
SIS a ton lower than in Great Brit
ain. He added that while the price
of materials is approximately the
same, the cost of labor is considerably
higher in America.
THE question of labor, however. ia
concerned not SO much with wages as
with work produced" he said, point
ing out that efficient management and
a systematic plan of production would
largely offset the labor cost question.
The question of whether Ameri-
shlpyards can build as cheaply
as foreign yards was answered the
other a when the Submarine Boat
company of Newark Bay. N. j., an
nounced its readiness to contract for
$4,000 ton steel ships at s149 a dead
weight ton. a great reduction from
the war prices of $195 to 1925 a ton
for cargo ships and tankers in the
old established yards" he said. 1T
IS an even greater reduction from
the higher prices for cargo ships in
other yards. I have no authentic in
formation that any foreign yard will
build at as low a price as this offer.
Homer S. Ferguson. one of the pio-
neer shipbuilders. advised us that on
future orders we may desire to place
for 10000 and $4,000 ton freight
ships. he will quote us "a flat price
lower than the s149 offer" "

%ARISTOCRACY AND LAND

An exchange comments on the fact that in England
ownership of large landed estates has become SO burden
some through graduated and progressive taxation that
many of the ancient families are finding it necessary to
sacrifice large portions of their holdings. and the passage
of what is known as. the aristocracy through this means
is foreseen.
AS the term 10 commonly understood, there can be
no aristocracy. without large land holdings. It is on the
possession Of land that the European aristocracy. has
chiefly been based. The spirit has persisted through
ages, and has found expression in different forms. but
it has been essentially the same. The patriarchal sys-
tenn which existed in the time of Abraham was based.
in addition to other elements, on the control OF. land.
Land was the basis of, the feudal system Of the middle
ages. l. is the basis Of modern aristocracy in Europe
and it fouad expression in the United States on the great
in the South before the war.
An individual may be honored for his character or
ms intellect. He may be courted because Of his wealth.
But without large landed possessions which in tradition
and practice have become a part Of his family history.
there can never be developed the traditions which belong
to that which we call atistocracy. 49,

STILL MISSING THE POINT

An unfathomable and inpenetrable mystery sur
rounds the mental attitude of the most voluble of the
critics Of article ten of the proposed constitution for the
League of Nations. Article ten in its revised form which
is practically unchanged from tits original wording. reads
as follows:
The members of the League undertake to
aS.ssarespect and preserve AS AGAINST EXTERNAL
: r~@r~AGGREssIoN and territorial integrity and e-
: s listing political independence of ali members of
the League. In case Of any such aggression or
in case of any threat or danger Of such agrees -
sion, the council shall advise upon the means
by which this obligation shall be fulfilled.
The critics referred to, and there are many of them,
seem to have been blind to the words which have been
capitalized above, hence we find constantly repeated
such expressions as the following from Senator Borah:
Article 10 remains as it was. Under it we
still obligate ourselves to guarantee the terri
torial integrity of all nations joining the League.
and of course the understanding is that all ma
tons will ultimately join. If they do not join,
then there will be two leagues. which would be
the surest guaranty of war on a stupendous
scale. We must agree, therefore, that We are
guaranteeing the territorial integrity of all ma
tons on the face of the earth"
t 1t Is impossible to imagine on any reasonable basis
a state of mind which would interpret article ten as Mr..
Eorah and his fellow critics persist in interpreting it.
II PURPOSE n II only purpose of article ten is to
guarantee all nations against forcible aggression from
without. That fact is stated, in so many words in the
article Itself. The nations in the League bind themselves
to respect each others territory and political independ-
ence. and to protect each other from attack from with
out. The article would not even by the most strained
construction that could be placed on it be applicable in
a case >of a domestic revolution. One section OF the
country desires to secede from another, and undertakes
ztq use force to bring about the success of it's revolution
emo one can find anything in article ten to the contrary,
The article merely prohibits nations from. attacking each
other and declares that they must keep hands on

NEW EMPLOYMENT FOR
WOUNDED SOLDIER BOYS

Menominee, Mich, June ga
one-armed man operating the
newly invented Lloyd loom so inn
pressed the Hon. G. M. S. Nc
Neilage, member of the Austria
liam legislature, during a trip
through the Lloyd Manufacturing
Company's plant here that ar
rangements were completed by
cable whereby the Australian
government pays $25O,OO0 for
rights to use the machine as well
as Lloyd's new method of produc-
ton. They will only be used in
giving employment to returned
and crippled soldiers and sailors.
The Lloyd loom is the first me-
chanical device ever made which
will weave reed or fibre for baby
carriages, furniture or baskets.
From the very earliest time
even when Moses was found in
the bullrushes, tucked into hand
made reed basket-these articles
have been woven by hand. Mar
shall B. Lloyd, one of the best
known American machine inven-
tors, struggled many years over
the task while scores of others
failed. Success has finally come
in a machine which will weave
these fabrics 80 times faster than
the most skilled hand worker can
and with much greater perfection.
The gap of ages has been spanned
in an industrial manner and reed
and fibre manufacturers look for
a complete revolution in their in
dustry as result of the LLOYD
loom.
A machine is now en- route to
Australia. More will follow soon
and large factory will be built
in which returning heroes will be
employed. The facts that physi-
cally deficient men can do the
weaving on the Lloyd loom in
stead of the most efficient hand
workers and that Australia is do
ing everything possible to aid its
wounded prompted the expend.-
tire of quarter of million
dollars for a single machine.
