new BUILDING FOR
STATE FAIR GIVES
LIVE STOCK BOOST
Murphy Says Action of Legis-
lature is Worthy Recognition
of Work Accomplished.

Action OF the Legislature in appro-
priating 100000 for the construc-
tion Of a fire-proof live stock barn on
the fair grounds was the occasion to.
day for hearty expressions OF appre-
citation on the part Of Frank w. Muir.
ply, president, and Thomas H. Can
field, secretary. on behalf of the state
fair management.
This action of the legislature Is
a fitting and altogether appropriate
recognition OF the tremendous value
Of the live stock industry in the
growth and higher development of
this state" President Murphy said.
1T is an eloquent tribute to the
breeders of pure bred animals in Min
nesota, and undoubtedly will make
1t possible lor the fair management
to SO stage its live stock exhibits and
give encouragement to the breeders
OF this section, as to Justify the pre-
diction that ere long Minnesota will
be the recognized center Of that in
terest in the northwest and the place
where the best breeding stock in the
country may be had for the founda-
tion Of pured bred herds
THE state fair is the great school
of the people. - It is the states show

TRACTOR PRICES NOT
TO DROP FOR SOME TIME

Chicago, April 26.--The farmer
who hesitates in. buying his new trac-
tor or binder until the prices drop
has several years to wait.
This was the verdict of implement
dealers and manufacturers here to-
day. No decrease in price for farm
Implements is forecast before 1921
and manufacturers forsee in 1919
and probably 1920. the dullest sea-
sons OF. year.
High cost of labor and farm pro-
ducts universally Is blamed for the
continued high cost Of implements.
It is contended goods manufacturers
during wartime will be disposed of
eventually but that the longer ma
terials and labor continue high just
so long will the finished product re-
main high. r., - >.'
Prices of farm products will con-
tinue to be high through this year
and probably through. next year and
as long as.those prices are high SO
must labor costs remain at or near
their present levels" says George A.
Ranney of the National Implement
and Vehicle association.
"1t seems hardly necessary to add
that these same conditions will in
evitably tend to keep up the price
Of farm implements.

INSTRUMENT SHORTAGE
NOW CAUSING DELAY

Members of the Juvenile band are
being delayed in their practice by
the late arrival of large number of
instruments. Fifteen saxophones
and 80 clarfnets have been ordered
for the boys ana the large size Of the
order is SO unusual that the musical
instrument house is having difficulty
in filling it. Oliver Riggs, director,
announees.=that~e extra. work will be
carried on just as. soon as the in
struments arrive and that the delay
will not materially interfere with
progress OF the band.
Director RIGGS is%- much pleased
with the progress being made by the
boys and says that the interest and
enthusiasm being shown is splendid.
The young musicians are prompt at
rehearsa1s and at every. meeting there
is large attendance, the work Of the
boys being very encouraging.

AMERICAN GENIUS NEEDED
TO HELP REBUILD FRANCE

ness would be captured by Americans
and British because they are in a po-
sition to do the work without delay,
BUT-and here is the whole point-it
is greatly to the advantage Of France
as nation that there should be as
little delay as possible. They point
aged by shellfire; that her mills are
in going condition; that, in order to
keep the economical life of Germany
going, German industries must be al
lowed to start up as soon as possible
otherwise the Germans will not be
in position to meet their own home
expenses, let alone pay the huge debt
they owe the Allies as the result of
the war. This being the case, with
German industry grinding full blast,
French industry must likewise full
speed ahead and at once, otherwise
it will be hopclessly outdistanced by
the resourceful enemy Of yesterday.
Furthermore, they declare, France
will need for good many years to
come, American and English capital
and capital will not 60 where industry
of the same nationality can not find
root. The French franc will tend to
become cheaper and cheaper and the
dollar and pound sterling dearer and
dearer
A high French official Of the Min
istry Of Reconstruction told me that
American cooperation would be well
come in France, thus forecasting the
victory of the open-door faction.
"The real opposition" he said,
"comes from the interested parties,
those who wish personally to profit
through enterprises undertaken in the
north. France realizes she absolutely
must have this cooperation. and
France and America will find a way.
And there is ten years of intensive
work rebuilding the devastated re.
gions, ten years Of it for all of us
working hard together, Americans

By Wllllam fnllllpS olHHls
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Paris, April 10. (By mail. will
Americans be allowed to participate
as business men in the rebuilding of
Northern France?
Or will the French government
throw a protective wall around the
devastated regions and admit only
builders of their own nationality on
the theory that whatefer profit is
to be derived out Of the reconstruc-
ton ought to go to those who have
suffered most on account of the war!
This question is uppermost here
now. Both sides has its defenders.
Each is eloquently sustained. But
there are signs that the anti-wall will
win and that France will welcome
both American gold and American
organizers and builders.
The thesis Of the protective wall
faction is that France is in such a
rundown condition as the result of
four and half years Of war that her
industrials are scarcely in a position
to fight successfully against their
brothers from America. Americans,
with their huge factories, cheap raw
materials and superior organization,
can build machinery such as is needed
in the mills of Northern France more
quickly and cheaper than be done in
France and, that such being the case,
there is danger of Americans
and the English, also great indus
trial people-running away with the
business of starting up Northern
France again, pocketing the profits
and leaving the Frenchmen in the
position of Mother Hubbard's well
known dog. That is, by the time he
could get his business going good the
job of reconstruction would be finish
led.
The "Antis" use the same argument
but with reverse English. They adj
