An instance of the frequently recur-

29-22-15, in Caddo, by the Belding OH
Corporation, a group Of Ga Shreveport

November, bought the 100 acres in the
so-called Caddo Strip" lying between

found six black urns and one red urn

CANADIAN WHEAT
0NL0CAL MARKET

Approximately sixty cars of Canad-
ian wheat have been shipped into Val
ley City since the first Of the year, ac-
cording to officials of the local Russell
Miller Milling Company. An average
of four or five cars day are coming
in at the present time. Trade in local
wheat is fair at the present time
reported as fair at the present time,
considerable Of it being brought into
Valley City by farmers who have been
holding their product for higher
price.
Possibility of the United States
placing an import duty on Canadian
wheat is believed to be partly respon-
sible for the rush, and also there be-
ing quite a demand for wheat is also
believed responsible. Considerable
more wheat has passed over the 500 to
points farther south. At Portal, N.
D. it is said that over 900 cars have
passed through loaded with Canadian
wheat since the first of the year.

THE TEACHERS JOB

The following article was read in
Tuesdays chapel exercises by Presi-
dent C. E. Allen:
Teaching is mans job. The pub
lie has been slow to recognize this;
but the threatened breakdown Of our
vital public school system is begin
ming to bring us to our senses. Our
economical structure and even our
national life are based on an educated
citizenship.
When once the individual has
chosen to make his life one Of service
and benefit to his fellows in distinc-
tioa from selfish and warped exist
ence, the claims of the teaching pro-
fession cannot be ignored. To stamp
ones influence and ideals on scores
and hundreds of plastic minds is of
far greater value to the nation and
the world than to play lone hand
To awaken dormant minds. to arouse
potential powers, to reveal new and
larger fields of usefulness, to develop
purpose and ambition-in word, to
mould character-all this lies within
the grasp Of the real teacher. And it
brings it's own reward, a reward that
cannot be measured in dollars and
cents. q,
Nearly everything that the Chris
tian ministry at it's best offers, is Of
fered the teacher. In many ways
his field is even broader and his OPP
portunities greater. Doctrine and
dogma need Igive him no concern.
Content to answer Fundamentally his
Masters clear call, "Follow Me-" the
teacher can enter untrammeled that
life of real service which Christ
makes. the test of true discipleship
and in which are to be found the abid-
ing joys and satisfaction of life.

kota with burden of debt and taxes
which, in the words Of the justice Of
the supreme court, elected by the non
partisan league, amounts in many
cases almost to the confscation Of the
farmers property and is calculated
to drive people out of the state to es-
cape this financial burden. DR.. Ladd
has probably missed his cue if he
thinks that he is going to promote his
influence and success in a congress
overwhelmingly republican, by giving
prominence to his identification with
an institution so out Of harmony with
American principles and ideals as the
nonpartisan league, directed and con-
trolled by Townley. Surely North Da-
kota has nothing to gain from the pur-
suit of that policy by it's new senator.

DR.. Edwin +. Laid, SenatOr-elect
from North Dakota gets two columns
in the New York Sunday World on
the nonpartisan league and the griev-
ances of the farmer in the northwest.
He represents the nonpartisan league
as an aggressive, prosperous growing
institution, Notwithstanding the loss
of control of the legislature of North
Dakota in the last election, the loss OF
a congressman in that state, a greatly
reduced majority for governor and the
election of half the state ticket by the
independents. A little aggressiveness
and prosperity of this kind on the part
of the Nonpartisan league and there
will be nothing left of it politically in
North dakota. The senator-elect also
conveys the idea to The World that
the league is making progress in Min
nesota, a fact which the results OF
the election do not SUPPORT. Cine
would infer, also, from what he has
to say that the league had not been
overwhelmingly defeated in Nebraska
and might conclude from the senator's
information that Mr. Townley is hav-.
ing great success in Kansas. This sort
Of thing may do down in New York
New York is a long way of-but it
gets back to the west and adds nothing
to the prestige of the new senator.
DR.. Ladd is going to the senate osten-
sibly as the representative of the
farmer-the prepayment of his interests
and claims and of the legislative re-
forms which are supposed to promote
his welfare. 1t would not seem to be
to the advantage Of the new senator
to lay stress upon his identification
with the socialistic nonpartisan move
ment, which thus far has done nothing |
except to load the State of North Da- !,

DIR. ALLEN TALKED
TO JOINT SESSION

Wednesday morning President c. F.:
Allen of the Valley City State Normal
School went to Bismarck on No. for
the purpose Of addressing a joint
session of the Senate and House which
convened at four o'clock. This joint
session of both houses was called for
the purpose of hearing facts bearing
on the financial needs of higher edu-
cation in North Dakota for the next
biennium and for the years beyond
that period as well. DR.. Allen spoke
on the financial needs Of the Normal
Schools of this state, he having been
selected as the one normal school pres
ident to present the claims of these
institutions for means to carry on
their work more efficiently and fully
than they have been able to do in
years past. .
President Thomas F. Kane of the
University, also addressed the two
houses on the needs of education in
general and with special reference to
millage tax for educational pur-
poses. DR.. E. F. Ladd, president Of
the Agricultural College, talked to the
legislators on a building program for
the institutions of higher learning and
outlined what he believed to be the
advantages of bond issue for such
purposes.
So far as the writer knows this is
among the very few times, if it is
not the first instance. in the legislative
