STICK TO THE FARM

If you think you are beng used a
little rough here in North Dakota,
with wheat and other farm products
about half their former value, think
of the Iowa and Illinois farmers who
are trying to pay for $500 an acre
land with so cent corn. Many Of the
young farmers in the eastern states
who put five or ten thousand dollars
into farms they bought, will most like
ly lose everything. In North Dakota
our land always brot only moderate
prices and when conditions improve,
North Dakotans are sure to work out
of their present difficulty quickly. This
is a good time for calm thinking.
Don't get excited over your lot If you
have taken the advice of those who
ought never to have given advice, and
held your wheat, work your way out
in the best possible manner under the
circumstances and whatever you do,
don't get discouraged and give up your
farm in North Dakota. Conditions are
better here at present than in either
the east or the west. Remember that
farm will make you a good living if
you have your cows, chickens and gar
den, and this will beat most any prop
osition that the town can offer. Farm
ers used to quit the farms and come
to town to take jobs that were paying
five dollars a day, but jobs are scarce
in town just now and many farmers
who came to Minot for the winter ex-
pecting to find work, have been dis
appointed. On farm, one always
has certain amount of credit but
bank will not loan ten cents to man
working in town on the strength Of
any job he might hold, for he is never

Secretary Baker did not set the total
cost Of the war at $13, 730, 300,50O, as
many papers are saying, but placed
that figure as the expenditure through
the War Department. Uncle Sam
spent nickels and dimes for the war
in other ways to the extent of about
SO 900, 100000, in addition to lending
some $1,000 100000 to our associates.

AFRICAN NATIVES BUILD $4,000
HOMES, BUY AUTOS, WHEN
COCOA BOOM COMES

London, Oct with a big cocoa
boom on, untold wealth is being won
by the natives of the gold coast, West
Africa. More than 200 of them now
run their own automobiles and an
other 200 are impatiently awaiting de-
livery of theirs. European style houses
costing in some instances as much as
$4,000, have been built by the most
prosperous.
During the war astute Negroes
bought cocoon at $50 ton, and after
the armistice they were able 10 sell 1t
at $500. More than IA hundred native
shippers flourish in such towns as
Seccondee and Accra. Even native wo-
men are bitten with the "get-rich-
quick" craze, several having set up as
brokers.

Y. NJ. c. A. NOTES.

1t is nothing but life around the
building now-life, life and more
life. And the life has just begun.
We are getting large and splen-
did set of boys, both large and
smaller boys. And every evening
after school it is a joy to see them
coming around entering into every
thing we have to offer. Mr.. Town
sends coming to take up the work
of city-wide secretary among our
colored boys of Denver has greatly
stimulated the interest of the boys.
His pleasing personality and thor
ough knowledge of everything per-
tanning to the department has at
once won the respect of the boys,
and they know that great things are
row at hand for them. Hereafter
the program for the following week
will be given in these notes.
The fine, pleasant weather we
have been having serves to keep the
spirit of croquet as keenly alive as
ever. The most exciting game of the
week was played between Stripping
and Maxwell on the one side, and
King and DR.. Broyles on the other.
All the players did surprisingly well
and for a while the result was in
doubt. Finally, by purely luck"
shot, King became rover and the
opposing players were soon outdis-
tanced. Sims and Blakemore crossed
mallets, but Sims was in fine condi-
tion and kept Blakemore continually
beaten back from his position and
rolled up big score against him.
Tomorrow Sunday afternoon our
great Sunday meetings will begin in
great gathering at Shorter church.
At that meeting the blue-printe con-
tanning the plans and specifications
of the new building will be on eN-
hibition, so that all may see and
examine them. The meeting will
begin at $3.50 o'clock. We trust that
every man and boy and every woman
and girl will come out to that meet
ing so as to see what is shortly in
store for our people.

tion of the folk songs. was brought
cut to such n degree that the Daily
Detroit Journal offered the follow
ing comment: "The lover of en-
semble who did not attend the sec
ond folk song festival of the colored
people of Detroit held Monday even
ing. Sept 90, in the Board of Com
merce missed a genuine treat. There
is no reason why every season should
not see a concert by the pick of the
local colored singers that would pack
the largest auditorium in the city
with music lovers of all races and
color" We again welcome Madame
Hackley to Denver and hope our
city will be favored with musical
event during her stay.

PEOPLES CHURCH GAVE VERY
SUCCESSFUL CON RT LAST
TUESDAY AT CENTRAL PRES
BYTERIAN.

A rare musical treat was offered
the public last Tuesday evening
when a chorus of thirty voices of
the Peoples Presbyterian church, as
sisted by the Olinger quartet. Nor
rison's orchestra and Mrs. Jessie
Zackery, vocal soloist, gave pro-
gram that merited such commenda-
tion. Old plantation melodies and
jubilee songs formed one of the fea-
lures, and Mrs. Mable Berry, promi-
net social worker, who gave several
readings in dialect, and Mrs. Jessie
Zackery contributed much to the
rendition. The Olinger quartet lived
up to it's reputation, offering rendf-
ton which always pleases. There
was good attendance and the pro-
ceeds were for the benefit of the
Peoples church renovation.

EX-SENATOR ALBERT J. BEV-
FRIDGE OF INDIANA MAKES
STIRRING REPUBLICAN AD-
RESS TO MORE THAN 5000 IN
AUDITORIUM.

On last Wednesday eve, at the
great Auditorium the Republicans
and citizens turned out en- mass
to hear one of the nations most
popular and eloquent statesmen pre-
sent the political issues of the day
and discuss the League of Nations
as it really would affect this coun-
try If adopted in the form that
President Wilson would have us to
accept. Senator Beveridge was in
true form and filled with wonderful
knowledge. He kept his large
audience spellbound as he tore to
shreds the position and arguments
of the Democrats concerning the
League of Nations. He began his
great speech with the remark that
this was the most peculiar campaign
he had ever witnessed or that the
world had ever seen, because the
Republicans had already won the
contest. He was not, therefore,
here to make votes, but to count
them. He exposed the method and
manner in which the inner circle of
the peace conference disposed of the
fourteen points of President Wilson
and consigned them to the interna-
tional potter's field at Paris, with
out even a shroud.
The senator spoke of the complex
population of our country and
showed that as people and ma
ton we were not in the same posi-
ton as other nations in regards to
the League, because of their homo
genious population. He urged upon
his hearers that it was necessary for
the people of this country to be-
come more united by blood ties.
That anyone who advocated racial
strata in this country was not
patriot. We were proud to hear the
senator come out so strongly along
these lines. The election of Hard
ing and Coolidge was positively as
sured and the people went home
filled with enthusiasm and assur-
ance of the success of the Repub-
licans, both in the state and the ma
tion.
The senator stated that this was
the first instance in the history of
the nation that party out of power
rallied to the president and the ma
ton in the time of war.
