Over this letter Mr.. Endicott frown-

had ever taken things in her own

Then. with his usual abrupt action
lhe put the letter in his inner pocket
and proceeded to hurry his business
as much as possible that he might
take an earlier boat than the one he
had set. And he finally succeeded by
jdint of working night as well as day,
and leaving several important mat
tiers to go as they would.
The papers at last announced that
Mr.. Delevan Endicott who had been
abroad for three months on business
had sailed for home and would reach
New York nearly a week before the
sspers also were filled with elaborate
sforeshadowings Of what that event
was. likely to mean to the world Of

FARMING IN
THE NORTHWEST
News And Notes As Compiled BY
tho Grand Forks Heeald.
BANKERS BOOST SWEET GLOVER.

The following is a bulletin sent out
to members Of the North Dakota
Bankers association by w. 1. Forbes,
chairman of the Associations COM
mittee on Agriculture:
Fargo, N. D., Nov. %, 1920.
To Members Of the North Dakota
Bankers Association:
o are vitality interested in the
financial returns from the farms in
your community, and some Of you.
particularly in the regions in the west
ern part of the state, are up against
the proposition OF receiving no re-
turns.
You are interested in a crop which
invariably will bring the good returns
to the farmer, whether he is in the
eastern or western part of North Da-
kota, whether he is on SIS or $3.50
per acre land. That crop is sweet
clever. According to experiments
conducted at the agricultural expert
ment station at Champaign, ILL.,, sweet
clover Is the only pasture crop which
will pay a good rate of interest on
land worth $500 per acre.
Although no active campaign has
been put on, North Dakota is rapidly
norYing to the front as a sweet clover
producing state. In Grand Forks coun-
ty it is estimated that nearly Is per
cent Of the sweet clover seed Of the
United States is produced. The Red
River Valley Sweet Glover Seed Crow
ers' Exchange of Grand Forks will
market a standard article Of seed and
most of the good seed crop OF North
Dakota this year. That organization
OF seed growers operates along purely
cooperative lines and you will get all
their literature in due time.
Sweet clover will grow ~luxuriantly
on DRY, sandy or stony soils, which
can not be cultivated. 1t is the great-
est Of soil builders, it is one Of our
greatest money producers from its
seed, pasture or forage; and it furnish
es An IDEAL and never-failing pasture
crop. n
Mr.. Banker, don't you think ii is
high time that your farmer clients
snou!d stop raising wheat exclusively
and should start raising this wonderful
.money-producing seed. pasture and
forage crop II nothing else was done
for them than the building IN Of their
farms? Some Of our wide-awake farm
er bankers are organizing clover clubs
order that they may buy their seed
IN large lots. We are going to see
mat Q get valuable information
from different sources from time to
time regarding this plan and later a
proposition will be made you whereby
you can buy seed on your certificate
q deposit II necessary. Please make a
NE for all clover literature and then

clover on every farm. Sweet clover

BUILDING REGULATIONS.

The suggestion was made to the
city commission by H. w. Randall a
few days ago that regulations be
made which will prevent the con-
struction Of certain classes of build
ings in residence. districts. The com.
mission has the subject under con-
alteration.
Like most other subjects, this one
has its complications. Under the
laws Of this state the city govern
ment has no authority to designate
the uses to which private property
may be put except in so far as may
be necessary for. the preservation of
the public peace or safety. For a
good many the establishment
of a building lipe, for instance, is
often considered desirable, the .
ton Of structures within less than a
designated distance from the street
being prohibited in order that the
appearance Of the neighborhood may
be improved. But the municipal
government has no authority to estab-
lish such a rule. A regulation OF this
kind may be made elective II, by
agreement with the original owner Of
q tract Of land, the desired condi-
tons are Incorporated in the instru-
ment by which the property becomes
a plated part Of the city; but the city
annot impose such restrictions ON;
private. property already admitted.

EVENTS OF 4 WEEK.

Most of the work Of the League Of
Nations during the week has been
performed by the several commit
tees to which the subjects were% APP
portioned. Several of these commit
tees are reported to have reached
conclusions sc quickly and easily that
there is a suspicion in some. quarters
that they have been evading issues
and intend to pass responsibility on
the assembly before which the SUP
jects will be debated at length.

NOTHING UNREAL ABOUT THIS

Editor George Horace Lorimer was
talking in a Philadelphia club about
realism.
"Tve got no time for realists," he
said, because they paint human ma
ture worse than it is. Here's a typ
ical realist story for you:
"A pretty girl was engaged to two
young men simultaneously, and one
evening the parlor maid came to her
and said in a scared voice:
"'oh. Miss Bessie, them two gents
what you're engaged to has called to-
gether, and somehow they've found
out about both engagements
"The pretty girl threw her cigarette
into the fire pettishly.
"'What the dickens shall / dor she
exclaimed.
But the parlor maid smiled joy
fully.
"'T1l tell you what to do, Miss Bes-
sie,' she said. I'll go downstairs and
say you're crying in your room because
your pop has lost all his money. Then

""That seems q good plan" said the
pretty girl, and she Lit another olga
rette and waited.
"The maid was gone about three
minutes. Then she returned with a
frightened look on her white face.
