Business Basis.

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. I9.-The Gre
alton Of q cost commission charged
with the duty Of a~scertaining the cost
Of producing farm products. ! n North
Dakota, is. recommended by John Ha-
gan, commissioner OF agriculture and
labor in North Dakota. Other recon-
mendations Of the commissioner, made;
in his biennial. report, made public
today, include: 8s
Creation OF state employment agen-
cies to cooperate with federal m
ployment agencies; manufacture Of
the state for use in farm, buildings;
placing all. paid employment agencies
under supervision of state department.
rather than leave them under control
Of city commissions; state finance
system to aid tenants to buy farms.
K Mr.. Hagan would maintain three
permanent employment offices, the
federal government. He would have
the legislature appropriate funds for
two or three.more offices, to be main
tanned during the harvest season.
Declaring that it is necessary that
farmers closely figure the cost OF
production, and that detailed informa-
ton is necessary for use in furthering
the industry, he recommends, the es-
tablishment Of a cost commission i IL
Disqualification Necessary.
Diversification Of farming is neces-
sary if farmers are I'd be successful.
the commissioner says Endeavortng
to determine the cost of producing
wheat, Qu~estionnaires were sent out to
several hundred farmers. Over 800
replies were received. !.
From these replies the commissions
err concludes that the S Of produc-
ing wheat in the state during 1913

FnyeragedS$3.76 per bushel. He, con
c1udes that the loss per bushel to the
farmer was Is cents in 1918 and 31.35
||ins 1919,
"The. question naturally occurs to
those who have not given these mat
ters o than cursory consideration,
how does it come that many of the
wheat farmers of North Dakota app
pear to bel making money and are
buying additional land, improving
their farms. buying automobiles, etc. ?
The answer to this question Is that
these farmers are not succeeding by
reason of their wheat crop, except in
those isolated instances where they
have been fortunate enough to raise
a crop each year far in excess Of the
state average. They have succeeded
perhaps because they have been
strewd enough to, perceive that there
was no real money in wheat raising
and have engaged III dairying, hog,
horse or beef cattle industries, MAX
ing small grain farming only a fair
proportion of the farm schedule"

A Shampoo That
Make brilliant Hair

Ordinary soaps and cheap sham
poos leave the hair sticky and covered
with thick flmy substance that en-
danger its life and makes it harsh
and lifeless AID ugly. For he hair
only the most perfect blend of Cocoa
nut and Palm Oils as combined in
ShucO Shampoo should be used.
Shuco Shampoo is so prepared that
it will completely rinse out leaving
no unpleasantness. 1t brings out the
lustre and brilliance and makes the
hair glossy like silk. Two or three
teaspoonfuls applied to the wetted
hair and rubbed briskly at once
changes in.o a bushel of sparkling,
bubbling, snowy-white lather, which
completely rinses out leaving the hair
glossy, silky, fluffy and wavy. Your
mirror will tell you why Shuco Sham
poo makes hair with thousand

IS She STILL ALlvEp

For over four years a young
Preek In America had not heard
rom his aged mother, who lived
% Constantinople. Eagerly he
watched the mails for a letter.
Month after month he sent her
money for food and clothing, but
aever knew whether she received it
Or not. Four years passed without
a word from his dear old mother
and he was frantic with grief and
despair. Then the war ended and
be fastened home on the first boat
that sailed for Constantinople to
Ind out if his mother was still
alive.
The terrible strain OF the war has
Effected nearly everyone. Ameri-
ian fathers and mothers have suf-
Tered in silence, waiting day and
night for some word from their
boys far away in the army.
Thousands Of foreign-born Amer
leans have waited in vain for a
letter from their father. mother,
sister or brother across the sea in
hal tClA Gtl OpCs GlICI BIlppCu
their hearts when they thought of
their loved ones cold, hungry and
despairing amid their ruined homes
and the graves of their dead.
How could they laugh when
they were sick at hearth How
could they help grieving as day
after day went by and no letter
came, The mother, whose son was
grieyously wounded and at the
point Of death somewhere in
France, could not go to her boy.
She could but wait and pray for
him.
With the clutch of fear at their
hearts and nerves strained to the
breaking point, many fathers and
mothers have bravery smiled, but
the strain anG suspense have
brought the gray hairs lowered
their vitality, exhausted their
strength and undermined their
health.

MEMORIAL TREE PLANTING
WILL BEGIN SOON.

v
The Civic Committee of the Wo-
mans Club, of which Mrs. Ralston
Cargill is chairman, announces that
the memorial tree planting will be-
gin in Americas within the next ten
days. H. w. Smithwick will super
intend the planting of the trees, and
it has been decided to use pecan
trees instead of oaks. Mr.. Smith
wick says this is advisable on ac-
count of the adaptation of Georgia
soil to the rapid growth of the pecan
tree, and the oak is often stunted IN
growth, or dies entirely. This will
prove a worthy memorial to the gal
liant boys who lost their lives in bat
tie, for not only will the leaves of
the pecan tree afford a refreshing
shade to the passersby, but will nour-
ish him with the fruit of the tree.
This beginning will be made at an
early date, but owing to the many
previous contracts for tree planting,
Mr. Smithwick will be able to plant
only a few at this season. Later,
however, in the early fall, this work
will progress rapidly until these trees
are planted along every street in the
city of Americas.
The ladies of the civic committee
wish to express their grateful thanks
for the hearty cooperation of the
people of Americas in this move
ment, and are astounded at the ready
assistance given in the campaign. Be-
ing a worthy movement, yet the sue
cess of it has staggered the magma
ton of those in charge of the cam
paign. Americas will soon become
a cynosure because of its lovely flow
ering trees along the highways and
for the pecans planted where shade
is needed.
