WOULD HELP CRIPPLED CHILDREN;
CITES CONDITIONS IN NO. DAKOTA

Mrs. Charles E. Jones, of Lisbon,
is in Bismarck in the interest of an
educational campaign in behalf of
crippled children. A report of the
county nurse of Barnes county, she
said, showed that there~are 100 Grip
pied children uncared for in that
county and there are 54 in La Moure
county. In an article published in
Lisbon paper outliling her views
Mrs. Jones said in part:
"Our wonderful country, this grand
United States, that boasts suc7, mag.
nificent advantages for the physically
perfect child, has certainly been slow
to recognize one form of child well
fare work, for there are only five
states in the Union that have caught
the vision and inaugurated state care
for that type Of child need, that looks
as though at times even God forgets.
Minnesota took the initiative and
established the magnificent >institu-
stion at Phalan park; following her
lead, New York. Iowa. massachusetts,
and Nebraska have seen the need.

"Ths hospital is as dignified and

a year ago. Wheat receipts alone in
December were 62 per cent of No
vember and slightly larger than in
December a year ago.
When the Stocks OF all grains for
Minneapolis. and Duluth are com
blned it appears that the total OF a.
;.lG4 ,S23 bushels at the close of De.
cember was 5 per cent, larger than
ct the close Of November and R per

pared with month ago, the stocks Of
corn exhibit phenomenal increase,

25 per cent. Wheat stocks on De-
l\mber, 81 totaled 9,355,76O bushels,
which was practically the same as a
month ago, but Is per cent less than
a year ago.
a- Livestock.
Receipts in December for all kinds
of livestock in South St. Paul stock
yards were about one-half Of those in
November. AS compared with year
ago the total December receipts OF
all livestock were less than three.
<fourths and shipments were less than
two-thirds. Cattle receipts were less
than one-half of the movement in
December a year ago. The lower
prices which have prevailed through
out the month were due primarily to
great reduction in demand for for
eign exports, although the demand for
beef to be placed in freezers substan-
TALLY declined. In addition, stock
raisers were inclined to get rid Of
cattle which were in passably good
beef condition because OF an appfe-
hension that market prices would con-
tinue to decline, as is evident from
the fact that, many of the notes Sc
cured by cattle have been paM be-
fore maturity dates. This selling
movement has not brought about q
material reduction in the weight OF
livestock received at South St. Paul,
as the average weight for cattle was
greater in 1920 than in 1910 and
larger than the ten-year average. Only

JAPANESE AVERSE TO CHANGE

With the double hope of business
success and social service. a certain
firm in Japan some years ago began
the importation of American-made
movassso houses on large scale. The
houses, the firm believed, would offer
very comfortable and coy little homes
at reasonable prices to the salary-earn-
ing classes of Nippon and would bring
about great Improvement in the do.

The enterprise, well-meaning as It
undoubtedly was, turned out to be
failure. 1t was like an everzealous
but enlightened missionary trying to
Impose the dogmas of Christianity on
heathens, regardless of the latter's
ideas, temperament and history. The
japanese have their own customs,
modes of living and traditions, which,
irrespective of whether they be good
or bad, are dear to their hearts and
hard to give up in fortnight. Homes
are the most basic of institutions,
and house construction is the result
of centuries of home life to a nation.

tional Bank has become a national
authority on financial conditions in
twenty years. AS a Young man he
humbly started life in the chicken
business.
He has a attended the quarter
lily aederal veserve bank conference
at Washington, d. c., and as repre-
sentative o. the twelfth federal re-
serve district, notes slowly improy-
ing business conditions.
He is OF the opinion that there
will be no great improvement until
the European situation is cleared up,
and banks will continue to discour-
age borrowing for purely speculative
purposes. He made following APP
parently level-headed statements:
Responsible borrowers can get
money in all the financial centers for
legitimate purposes, but bankers
turn deaf ear to all those wishing
to borrow for speculation.
Corporations and business
houses that have liquidated their
old Indebtedness, marked off their
losses and put their inventories
down to a rock bottom basis have
no difficulty in getting credit.
