the South American countries at the
convention in St. Louis in 1919. They
visited all the countries open to
strangers in Europe in the spring and
summer Of 1920. This year they have
made a tour of the Latin-American
countries, including Peru, Chile. Uru-
quay, Argentine and Brazil. They will
bring to the convention that meets in
San Francisco, August 18 to %, a
prophecy from representatives of the
government in Chile, Argentine and
Uruguay that prohibition will be es-
tablished there within FIVE years.
South America is watching closely the
effect of the prohibitory law in the
United States, both In its social and
its economic aspects. Nothing but
complete failure here could prevent
the enactment of similar legislation
there, and there is no thought Of fall
ure, either in the minds of the South
American temperance workers, or here.
Indicative of public opinion towards
prohibition is the attitude Of the gov
ernments and Of educators Of the high
est rank towards the cause. Because
OF this sympathy the teaching Of
scientific temperance IL included in the
curriculum of the schools, for which
teachers are trained in the normal
schools. To meet the question OF
economic loss the government Of Chile
has already instituted program Of
propaganda TO teach the value OF
grape culture for other purposes thar,
the making Of alcoholic beverages and
is advocating legislation to provide a.
nancial aid for. those who undertake
the conversion OF their plants to 9TH
l.er purposes than wine making.

AN ANNUAL AFFAIR
Professor Kittrell In
Role OF Principal
Speaker

The celebration of Labor Day here
monday, when organized workers at
filiated with the American Fedora
tion Of Labor. marched in parade
formation along with other civic bo-
dies of Devils Lake and then Joined
in public meeting at the Grand Opera
house, marked a turning point to.
ward harmony, in the opinion of many
persons. No politics entered into
the event which was participated in
by all factions in apparent perfect
harmony.
Harry Bodlak, chairman of the
committee in charge of the day, was
optimistic in the belief he had at
least succeeded in bringing the peo-
pie of the community together on
one common ground, the recognition
of the rights of labor as an organized
body.
The Kiwanis and Rotary club,
marching in the parade and prior to
the afternoon program, gave their
silent endorsement of the move for
greater harmony here between la
Dor and capital.
! Program features of the occasion
were staged without a hitch. Prof.
C.. A. Kittrell delivered the oration

Chilean Student q &.
h .. S. Colleges.

Six young people of Chile, three
young men and three young women,
are being sent BY the Chilean govern
ment to the United States to spend
four years ID American colleges.
Their mission is to study the educa-
tional system Of the United States, par
ticularly as it concerns higher educa-
ton, and to investigate the effects,
economic and physical, Of the pro
hibition of the manufacture and sale
of alcoholic beverages.
Chile is very near the enactment
sof law similar to the Eighteenth
amendment to- the United States con-
stitution, waiting only, for little
further observation Of the result Of
the prohibitory law here, and to de-
gvelop a little more assurance in. the
minds Of those engaged in the wine
industry that grapes may be grown
with profit without the liquor indus
try. Both government officials and
educators are lined up strongly for
prohibition, and the prophecy. is that
another five years will see Chile dry.
The young students who are being
financed here by their government are
being placed in different parts Of the
country, under different environment,
and it is expected that their observa-
tions will be useful In helping Chile
to come to q clear understanding of
the effects Of prohibition on the in
dustrial and social life Of the people
and upon the public health. The
three young women have been placed
in the special charge of Miss Anna A.
Gordon, president Of the w. G. T. o..

]. 5. On VERNlaEH REPORT
SHOWS LONG. LIFE FOR
TRACTORS.

Just at the time when everybody Il
analyzing the Fargo Farming demon.
5stration, figures which show that Il
cost the prize winning team $2O.OO5 to
prepare ten-aere seeded with
horses ana that it cost only 1897 to
do the same work with tractors, the
q. s. government has issued report
on tractor depreciation which throws
some interesting light on the esti-
mated life Of the tractor.
This gives nearly ten years as the
life Of the tractor-an accurate esti.
mate backed up by four and one-hal1
years owners actual experience.
On this basis. depreciation on q
$1,000 tractor would be less than 500
per year, to which, according to the
government report, would be added 6
repair item Of about $40, making q
total Of less than $40 to cover de-
probation and all repairs for year.
Another government report, issued
early In June on "Horses and Tractors
on Corn Belt Farms" shows that on
an average each tractor owner dis.
posed Of "a horses when the tractor
was purchased, and the same report
shows that 1t cost on an average of
$3.50 year to keep each head Of
workstock.
Using these figures, the purchase Of
a tractor, therefore. meant saving
OF 81s year by cutting off the ex-
pense of keeping two horses.
Figuring tractor depreciation and re.
pairs at about $40 per year, on the
basis Of the government report, and
subtracting this from S30S per year
saved by selling two horses, figures
also based on government report,
shows net saving Of over SITS per
year in favor of the tractor.
The Fargo Demonstration showed
that this SITS saving will many times
cover the cost of kerosene, gasoline
and oil to operate the tractor and take
care of all the farmers power 70.
quirements not only in field work hut
in belt work and many odd power
jobs.
So it is not surprising that reports
everywhere indicate new interest in
tractors and new idea OF Power
