AN IRRITATING cUSOM

Over in England where women are
pretty well advanced in suffrage they
have become tired of being referred
10 as the weaker SEX" and the fair
sex" and they have held meeting
about it.
Perhaps American women when
they come to think ON ii. will espouse
similar views.
The Womens Freedom League, of
which Margaret Hodge is councillor.
has tabooed the use of flair sex" and
ssweaker sex" in reference to women.
The league has also set down as
first principles that woman's iudg,
ment is as good as mans, that wom-
en- talk less than men, and that wom-
en- can keep secrets.
''One Irritating custom comes down
from an age when to be fair was wom-
ans first and foremost duty" Miss
Hodge says. and the only women who
counted were for ornament. Women
may be the weaker sex physically. but
not morally"
Most men will admit that woman's
judgment, too, is as good as mans.
and that's why husbands so often con-
fer with their wives in business mat
tiers.
That women talk less than men
and more to the point when they do

MOON FARMING

Farming dates back TO time long
before there were calendars. Priests
and monks were the few people who
possessed much education. They de-
voted a great deal of their time to
the study of astronomy and possessed
a fair knowledge of the subject.
Farmers came TO these men for adj.
vice in their soil operations. When
they wanted to plant corn or wheat
or whatever the crop might be, the
only definite guides The monks could
give them were to plant during the
varying moon stages. The moon was
the farmers calendar.
When the modern calendar was in
ti7slaced it was used by townspeople.
Many farmers still use the moon
sisns. The custom has been handed
Gown from one generation to another
and is stih in use.
Original purposes of the signs of
THE moon were in time forgotten or
l.Eisinterpreted and the farmers be-
gan TO ascribe TO the moon supernst-
Eli-als powers.
Ii was in this way that the more
recent generations accepted the moon
seuetrine and still chung TO it in the
present day.
From planting crops the doctrine
spread to the slaughter of animals
shearing OF sheep. cutting and pulling
OF the teeth of domestic animals and
even TO the setting of fence posts.

Potatoes Bring
Owner $4,000

Fargo, Oct. IA "Chance shot"
taken last spring by Harry Wilcox, a
Cass county farmer who planted 109
acres of potatoes, together with the
18th hour assistance of neigh bors,
who massed SO strong and picked
his crop, has produced small scale
potato king in the Red River Val
ley Of the North.
A potato buyer contracted for the
potatoes on a 60-acre plot for 81 a
bushel. A yield of 5000 bushels was
expected. Potatoes took a slump
during the digging operations and
the buyer tried to persuade Wilcox to
stop digging. Wilcox continued.
Instead of yield, of 5000 bush
els, as had been estimated, Mr. Will
cox obtained $4,000 bushels, which
meant better than 200 bushels to the
acre, and at contract of 81 bushel
$4,000. His 40 acre plot yielded as
abundantly.

HIGH INTEREST
HITS BUILDERS
BANKERS ATTITUDE HOL ID )
DOWN CONSTRUCTION OF
ROME MAKERS DREAMS.

Washington, Oct. 13.-High inter-
est rates and Iukewarm attitude on
the part of bankers toward prospec-
tive home builders is tying up home
construction.
That's the conclusion of the divi-
sion of housing and construction, de-
partment of commerce, after a ma
tionwide survey of building credit
conditions.
Secretary Hoover ordered the
probe. 1t was carried out by mail
ing questionnaires to building and
loan association secretaries in every
part of the nation. The survey
shows:
That heavy discounts exacted on
second mortgage notes virtually
amount to on interest rate of IL TO
20 per cent.
That in many sections funds for
financing second mortgages are inn
possible to get.
That many banks are loaning very
little of their savings funds to home
builders, diverting it into channels
where profits are greater and turn
over quicker.
Remedial legislation already has
been introduced into congress but it
is improbable that home builders will
get relief at this session.
Senator William M. Calder of New
York, has introduced two bills now
pending before the senate commits
tee on banking and currencx
The first grants permission to any
national banking association to open
a separate savings department and
loan one-half of its deposits ON real
estate.
The second bill is known as the
federal home loan bank act.
1t provides that the president shall
appoint an official to be known as
the commissioner of federal home
loan banks.
This official will divide the coun-
try into IL district and establish a
federal home loan bank in each Sec
ton. This bank will provide funds
for financing home building.
Stock in these banks will be own
ed by the various building and loan
associations, cooperative banks OF
homestead aid associations.

OFFICERS AND TAXPAY-
.ERs GET TOGETHER
PERKINS COUNTY PEOPLE, Al
PULLS DISCUSSION, AGREE
UPON TAXATION MATTERS.

Pierre, Oct. 13.-Perkins county
tried an experiment last week which
would likely be beneficial If tried
out in other counties of the state,
and which was declared 10 be sue
cess so far as the management of
public affairs in that county is con-
cerned.
The county officials invited tax
payers of the county to meet with
them at the county seat on set
date to discuss openly the situation
as to taxation and public affairs Of
the county from both the standpoint
of the county officials and the tax
payers.
The invitation brought in about
200 farmers and-business men from
all sections of the county, when the
county officials stated the situation
as to their needs to carry out the
program which had been either voted
for them by the people Of the coun-
ty themselves, or which had been
placed upon them by general legisla-
tion and by decisions of the county
board.
The taxpayers had the floor and
expressed themselves and after the
talks a general agreement was reach
ed with each side having knowledge
of the situation from the viewpoint
of the other side.
The report states that few OF
those present attempted to inject pri-
vate grievances into the discussion,
but the meeting refused to take up
any of these complaints and consid-
cred only those which covered the
general situation, and an outline
which was satisfactory to all parties
concerned laid out, with the work OF
the county going on understandingly
TO all parties.

RAIL WORKERS
VOTE STRIKE
NEXT MOVE Is UP To BROTHER
HOOD CHIEFS.

Chicago, Oct. 13.-Railway en-
ployes of the country have voted de-
cisively in favor of strike.
Responsibility for further action
now rests with brotherhood chiefs,
who are expected to answer the ques-
ton thus put up to them some time
this week.
This became known when Warren
s. Stone, chief of the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers, and l.. q.
Sheppard, president of the Order of
Railway Conductors, announced tab
ulation of the strike ballots polled
by their organizations has shown the
men solidly in support of walkout.
S. C. Cashen,. president of the
Switchmen's Union of North Amer
ica, was not in Chicago, and w. s.
Carter, hea dof the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Firemen and Engine
men, made no announcement as to
strike vote results. Reports: from
ether sources, however, indicate
these unions have voted to support
the general strike movement. =
In the face of the strong vote for
walkout, the conviction that union
leaders will not authorize strike
seemed stronger than ever in some
quarters.
To all questions concerning the
probablt outcome, Chief Stone, OF the
engineers, who for years has been a
dominating influence, in all joint
parleys of the railway unions, re-
piled tonight:
"I am no prophet don't know"
But those who predict Transports
ton will not be interfered with are
not without seeming foundation for
their belief.
