for labor, and by feeding part OF the
crops on the farm we are building up
the soil until we get double yields.
The problem on the Grand Forks
farm was to clean up the land and
increase yields. The rotation, and
manuring the land once in four years
has accomplished this to a large. x
tent. We grew six crops OF wheat
previous to the 1919 crop. Three OF
these were on old ground before 1t had
gone through the rotation. and the
average yield Of wheat was liz
bushels per acre. The three crops
after the rotation had gone round
once-wheat followed by grass, land
MANFRED and cultivated IN corn. one
year-averaged 80 bushels per acre.
Yearly three times the yield before the
rotation. We consider that the profit
from live stock can be figured largely
from the increased yields Of crops re-
sulting from the rotation and manur-
ing the land.
The crops grown on these farms
speak for themselves and an invita-
| ton is extended to all to visit us and
ask questions. We have moi MIXED
any cows except for farm use. but
there is no question but that we could
have added materially to our income
by doing so. Our corn silage and
alfalfa hay would be ideal feed.
Our pit and home made silos, and
straw sheds have been in use on these
farms from the first and are just as
good as when built. We see no rea-
son why our results cannot be at least
equalled on every farm in the north.
west, and we hope many will be able
to do better.
These results are published in larger
book form, which will be sent free for
the asking. Our farms would have
failed had we tried to operate without
live stock. -

FAMILY LIFE N

Perhaps the same things could be
said about the relations of father and
son, but at any rate there is interest
in this comment on the changed con-
ditions in family life in the following
article by Adelaide Stedman in Les
lies:
almost within one generation the
family has changed from an absolute
monarchy, with father as it's unques-
toned head, to a loose c~cnfederacy
from which withdrawal at will is the
heated question of the moment. Like
any other newly freed group, the
children run a little amuck before
they settle down in the new situation.
And there is the added difficulty that
in this country each generation is
usually a little better educated, a lit
tie more prosperous than it's prede-
cessor, so that in millions of families
the children actually belong to a
higher or at least a more ~pretentious
social group than do their parents,
and, "oh dear, Of curse we're always
proud to introduce mother to our
friends, put we do wish she didn't
say 'aint.' M Of course we adore
dear old dad, but if we could only
induce him to exchange shirt-sleeves

of solid comfort!

pedients permitted by the law to
avsrt or postpone the execution Of the
sentence. but the fact remains that
he has been convicted and sentenced.
The investigation which has result
ed in this trial and conviction, and
which viii DO followed BY further
trials. has disclosed the existence OF
the most gigantic conspiracy to levy
blackman that has ever been known.
It will never bs known how many
millions Brindell and his fellow con-
spirators have exacted in tribute Of
one kind and another, but it Is an
%undeniable fact that the results Of this
long series of crimes will be reflected
for many years in interest charges on
excessive construction costs due to the
blackmail levied by q gang Of con-
~scienceless grafters.
The conspiracy extended through
the entire structure of the building
trades. Brindell appears to have
been at the head Of it, but he had
assistants among other labor unon
leaders, among individual members Of
the unions. among contractors and
contractors agents. and among those
who furnished every sort of building
material.
Brindell and his crowd were quito
impartial in their dealings. They did
not care whom they victimized. They
were liberal in that they were willing
to divide the plumber. provided ad-
ditions were sufficient to make the
division worth while. A contractor
would be assessed what was considered
the proper sum for protection from
strikes. II he paid, which he had to
do or quit the job, he could charge
the assessment up as building cost,
and he was at liberty &c collect as
much mor as he could get. Many
contractors did business on that basis,
bidding enough to permit the payment
Of the assessment and q liberal sum
beside. As a result Of this. series Of
exactions building costs in New York
were advanced beyond all reason, and
the influence Of the conditions there
extended to the entire country.

COMMERCIAL CLUB ACTIVITIES

The directors Of the Commercial
club are arranging for a referendum
by means of which the members will
be given opportunity to indicate in
what ann the energies of the club
may most probably be directed dur
ing the coming year. The idea is an
excellent one. It is a fact, of course,
that any member is at liberty at any
time to bring to the attention of the
board any subject which he conceives
to be of interest, and a good deal Of
the useful work of the club in the
past has originated in suggestions thus
made by individual members. But
the practice has o been general.
Undoubtedly many good ideas have
gone to waste. or remained in abey-
ance, because they were not put in
for; to command the attention Of the
club members in general.
The fact that special provision is
to be made for suggestion will I'M
doubtedly tend to recall to members
ideas which have occurred to them,
but which have lain dormant and al
most forgotten. The fact that all
members are invited to offer sugges-
tons at a particular time and in a
particular way will stimulate to ac-
ton some who have remained silent
because of %diffidence. When it is
understood that the submission of
ideas is to be general, each will be
encouraged to produce his own
We take it hat the purpose Of the
referendum is to aid in the develop
ment of practical working plans rath-
er than to formulate general theories.
The Commercial club exists for the
betterment Of the community. It
can accomplish it's purpose only
through efforts directed to the
achievement Of concrete results in its
W community. 1t can exert only
slight influence, for instance, on the
solution of the transportation prob
lens of the country. It can do some
thing very much worth while toward
the betterment OF the roads in its
territory. / may not be able to do
much toward the solution of the great
municipal and educational problems
Of the country; but It may be able, In
specific instances. to be Of material
assistance to the local municipal and
school authorities in the handling of
problems which are constantly before
them.
Most of the business men Of the
city are members of the club. It will
be a good idea for them to do a little
hard thinking to prepare for the ref
erendum.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEB. 8
BARTER INSTEAD OF CASH.

Money is generally described as a
medium Of exchange. Credit is a
very real, but intangible something
which may be translated into money,
and ultimately into goods. But
money, it appears, is also an article
OF commerce. having a very real
value Of its own and f%luctuating In
price as other commodities do. Its
price is governed quite largely by con-
siderations entirely apart from the
accepted value of the. commodities
for which it can be exchanged.
1t is! easy to understand that the
productive powers of a country must
have some influence o. the market
value of its money. Trade consists
largely in the exchange of products.
The nation that buys much and sells
little will soon be at the end of its
resources, and the money with which
it settles its bills and which must ul-
timately be redeemed in goods, will
become undesirable in the markets
Of the world. But it Is not SO easy
TO understand why the depreciation
should be, as it has been in so many
cases, so greatly disproportionate to
the anticipated powers of redemption.
The complications of foreign ex-
change have proven embarrassing to
merchants all over the world, and
have stood in the way of the ex-
change Of products. Sometimes the
low rate of exchange is reflected in
the prices of foreign goods. and some
times it is not. The result is con-
fusion in values and hesitation in
trade.
An effort is being made to conduct
commerce between Great Britain
and Denmark on the basis of direct
barter, products being exchanged for
products without the use of the or
binary terms OF money or credit. 1t
will be interesting to watch the result
of the experiment. 1t is a reversal OF
h ordinary process, for in his very
earliest dealings with his neighbors
man has discovered the need for
some sort Of intermediary, and has
devised something which has an
swered the purpose Of money. The
war has done a good many strange
things to our civilization. Among
other things it seems to be bringing
about a reversion to the financial
methods. or lack of method, which
prevailed back of the stone age.

But Miss Sabrina had not even heard
her. and Peter was too mystified by
the whole thing to think Nancy's
words strange. Miss Sabrina turned,
with a stricken face.
"Anne-II can't think! What

contrast to Miss Sabrina's sorrow. She
held her hand out toward the broken

The rest Of the farm is divided into
five fields, and farmed in regular rota-

the others are farmed in a rotation Of
corn. small grain and grass. The
coulee and old brick yard pasture has
been seeded to yellow sweet clover
wheat grass and bronze grass, and now
carries twice or three times as many
cattle as it did before.
