CLUB DISCUSSES
JUVENILE PROBLEM

The Newly organized department Of
"Social Service" held most interest
ing meeting at the City Hall Monday
April 18th. Upon this afternoon
Miss Topping addressed large group
of women on recent legislation per-
tanning to the morale of the state
She has worked increasingly for a
Juvenile Commission" which will be
composed of representatives Of var
ious womens' organizations through
out the state. This commission will
make careful survey of conditions of
women and children and will be in
valuable to the state and not only
every worker for reform. but to those
most needing help. 49, r.. -
Another step in advance has been
the creating Of juvenile officers in each
district which may be women or men
and women. In other words there will
be woman officer to look after the
girls, and man taking care of the
boys problems.
When it realized that seven other
countries take better care of the ba-
bies than the United States, and thir-
teen others better care of mothers and
that three-fourths of the children in
the United States have physical de-
fects which can be remedied, surely
strict LEGISLATION iS needed in oyorv
state and as strict enforcement.
North Dakota will no doubt forge
right ahead on better enforcement of
all moral laws and the women are go
ing to acquaint themselves more and
more with conditions and work for
the best possible legislation to relieve
the oppressed. and then "vote as they
pray" @

bond issues have been voted and
some in Montana, and in Minnesota
and Wisconsin.
The trail is one Of the most popular
trans-continental trails, according to
reports made at the meeting. The
best available records indicated 5000
automobiles made the trip between
the Twin Cities and the Pacific coast
last year. Twenty EIGHT thousand
cars enteder Yellowstone Park over
the Red Trail, about 60 per cent Of
which came from the east and 40 per
cent from the western coast.
The route Of the Red Trail will not
be changed. There will be an addi-
tion, however, in Idaho. to make three
routes in crossing the Cascades.
Il Mr.. Remission said the trail is now
open to the coast, but the roads were
muddy between Livingston and Mis-
soula. Crop conditions appear good
in Montana, as there was great deal
of snow in the mountains.
Mr.. Remission was reelected vice
president of the National Parks High
way association. The directors voted
to increase the budget SO per cent to
provide funds for more extensive ad-
vertising.

SOUND RECOVERY IN .
LANDS FORECAST
Unwillingness of Capital to Enter
North Dakota Called Specula-
ton Preventive

The unwillingness of capital to en-
ter North Dakota under a socialistic
form of government has reacted to
the benefit of that state in at least one
respect, in that funds were not avail
able for such land speculation as was
carried on in Iowa, Nebraska and parts
of South Dakota, with the result that
North Dakota farm lands today are
on a reasonable and stable basis. This
was the statement in Minneapolis TO-
day of E. F. Fader, supervisor Of the
new labor survey of the United States
department Of labor. Mr.. Fader reach
ed Minneapolis today following sur
vey of labor conditions in seven
northwestern states.
"While the temporary speculative
values of farm lands in some parts
of the west have been tumbling rapid
ly in the last nine months, there has
been no such def1ation in North Dako-
ta," he said, because no one would
risk funds there at the time when in
flation might have resulted. North
Dakota lands are down to bed rock TO-
day, and they form the basis of a
sound recovery when other conditions
in the state make forward steps pos
sible.
"One other benefit has come to
North Dakota from it's recent exper-
ience," Mr.. Fader said. "The people
of that state have learned such a les
son that for the next 10 Or Is years at
least there will be little jumbled think
ing. by it's citizens. / believe the state
r G -,
both politics and business"
Mr.. Fader said that in parts of
Iowa, banks hold loans against farm
lands that amount to appreciably
more than the present selling price
They were made. he said, when land
prices were at the peak Just before
the speculative fever wore itself out

Fair ASSOCIATION are being rapidly
pushed toward completion by the
Times Record job department, and it
is expected that they will be delivered
in a few days. Many changes have
been made in the premium lists and
a number of new features added.
In an attempt to make the fair the
biggest ever put across in Barnes
county, Dave Richie, president, has
attempted to get superintendent Of
various departments who are vitality
interested in their work and who do
their best to secure exhibits of the
best kind and look after the detail
work in connection with the superin-
tending of the various departments.
The committees on livestock and
agricultural products are as follows:
Cattle-S. Fletcher, Valley City
superintendent. @
Gust Adams, Valley City, assist
ant superintendent.

superintendent. i
Agricultural Products-E. Wicks:

The superintendent of the various
departments, especially the horse

ious that the farmers notify them as
soon as possible as to the number of
cattle, horses or hogs that are to be
entered. Indications at the present
time are that it will be necessary 20
construct an additional cattle barn
to take care Of the entries. If you
will send in your entries early the
directors of the Fair Association
would be able to determine whether
or not the building 0 ia new barn will
be necessary.

wife after he came to California, one
passage in which read as follows:
"Your letter at hand. and in reply
would say ! do not want to know

A friend tried to surprise us the

ures that "a per cent. of the firms that
failed in 1920 were non-advertisers.
But we didn't astonish worth a cent
What's surprising about the fact
that firms that took no pains to let the

NO BARE FEET FOR WILLIAM

Mr.. William Lemke proposes to
keep his job and his $4,000 house il
it takes the shoes and stocking off the
feet of North Dakota farm children.
His newspaper yesterday morning
contained letter from a North Dako-
tai farmers wife. stating that she pro-
posed to let her children go bare,
foot this summer, if necessary, to send
money for the recall campaign fund
But Mr.. Lemke isn't going bare
foot for "the cause" Such sacrifice
is left for the privates in the ranks.
Mr.. Lemke will reside in his $4,000
state-buiit house. It isn't included
among the "sucked oranges" which
have been turned over to the farm
ers."
Summer fallow and fight" isn't in
tended as the motto. 1t appears to
be: "Get out from under"
But each one of these letters from
farmers and farmers wives pleading
cream checks and egg money and care
fully boarded savings: is little trag-
edy in itself. Never did political lead
ers have more devoted followers than
these nonpartisan league gangsters
and never was this devotion and con:
fidence more basely betrayed. While
the leaders live in $4,000 state-built
houses, the members can't get hail
warrants cashed even though taxes
have been levied and collected for the
purpose.
And. by the way, has anybody ever
heard of any nonpartisan league lead
ers buying any state bonds? They
have planned series Of meetings in
various cities to sell the bonds to the
labor men and others who might be
interested, but they haven't bought

More Child Labor in
Country Than in City

| There is more child labor in rural
than In urban America, and some of
1T is just as bad as in the cities,' saws
Owen r. Lovejoy, general secretary
of the national child labor committee
This statement appears in The Amer
lean Child the current issue of which
is devoted to child labor in agricul-
ture. sThe idyllic conception of
country life stands in the way of pop
ular appreciation even of the existence
of rural child labor. Long ago we
standardized our ideas of farm lie as
wholly delectable and hence we as
sumo that because the million and a
half children 'gainfully employed in
agriculture are in the great outdoors
their condition is necessarily FORUM
ate. Hundreds of thousands of these
young farm laborers under sixteen it
should be borne in mind, are working
for persons other than their parents.
Moreover, the children listed by the
census as 'gainfully employed on
farms represent but fraction of the
number unfortunately affected by farm
work, particularly as regards school
attendance.
"The conspicuous feature of rural
child labor is, indeed, its interference
with school attendance. The average
rural term in the United States is
lao days, while the city term is $50
days. Of every hundred children en-
rolled in city schools the daily at
tendance is eighty, while of every
hundred enrolled in rural schools only
60 are in daily attendance. So that
