differences that may exist but there is manestly good
ground FOR Wizards assertion that in the past grievances
have settled by conferences between committees OF

Out OF 5000 workers 10000 have been with the road
more than ten years equal number have been with
the road twenty years or The length OF

over the decision of the German gov

It is known an invasion of the Ruhr

stand with them. H..
Marked relief was indicated when It
became evident that, Germany by &C.

such measures.
American government economists
are convinced of Germany's ability
to meet the obligations imposed and
they pr0fessed to see in her decision
promise of an economic revival that
would cause happy reaction through

A marked increase in the corn acre.

last three years in statistics compiled

in the office of the commissioner Of
agriculture and labor.
The acreage was $4,000 in 1914

to 100000 in 1920 is shown.
North Dakota leads all other states
in spring wheat acreage and produc'
tion, leads in rye acreage, in acreage

acreage in oats, and led all other
states in barley acreage in 1920, 1t
