F0RDNEY BILL
is ATTACKED
Commercial Clubs May Take
Action Against Valuations
Plan

Commercial clubs in North Dakota
will berasked to take action in Oppo-
siti0n to the American valuation sec
tion of the Fordney tariff BILL G. A..
Hassell, of A.'W. Lucas & Co., laid the
matter before secretaries of four clubs
in the state, WHO were in Bismarck to
attend meeting of the National
Parks highway state organization.
G. N. Remission, of the Bismarck
club, was asked to prepare brief on
the matter, and action by Fargo, VAL
ley City, Bismarck and Mandan clubs
may follow.
The American valuations plan,
which provides tariff upon imported
goods upon American values, would
make the price of certain foreign
goods pr0hibitive, it is asserted.
Some of these articles are not dupll.
Gated in this country. The result it
is asserted, would be to- prevent the
importation of certain foreign goods
or to. force the price to level which
would make competition in American
markets impossible. Many retailers
are vigorously opposed to the section
as a blow at the retail business.

by NEA Service
Leavellworth, Kan, Nov. 17.-D'ja
ever meet James and Joel Cheatwood
twin brother farmers OF this neck O
the woods?
Well, this will introduce them to-
gether-because folks simply can't
tell them apart.
James is 80 years, old, SOS Poel.
Joel has a flowing white beard, SOS
James. Both of 'em part their hair on
the left side and flash a pair of blue
eyes.
You can't get either one of the
brothers to admit that they are old.
II am not what you'd call an old
man." says James-or maybe it was
Joel. Il was born just little sooner
than younger folks-that's all
81 can do as much work as any OF
these young sprouts around here, =
says Joel-or maybe it was James.
It's been nigh on to so years since
the brothers settled down to farming,
on farms a mile apart, near Leaven-
worth.
When either one of them makes a
trip in to town, as far as the town
folks are concerned, it might be the
other. When neighbors see them in
their own back yards-well even then
it isn't safe to make bet cause
James often calls on Joel and Joel
often calls on James.
Interviewing the twins is puzzle
in itself. Looking directly at one OF
them, for instance, you ask:
"How did you come to keep SO
young, James, in spite OF your 30
'years?".
