STATE ! Z NEEDS !.
CAPITAL, SAYS
The GOVERNOR
Nestos Delivers Addresses
at Sheldon and Enderlin
Today.
(Herald Special Service, !

p w. 'A~S'( -
Eaderlin, N. D., June S.-Governor
r. A. Nestos; spoke here and at Shell
don today setting forth the needs of
the state in regard to a business ad-
m~inistration Of its affairs.
At Enderlin the governor pointed
out. the advantage to labor in restor-
ing the credit of the state with out
side investors. Labor cannot pros
per without employment" Mr.. Mes
tos said, and in order that there may
be employment we must ave capital
for the establishment of business en-
terprises. as we'll al for farmers to
carry on their operations"
"a sweeping victory for the INDIE
pendents in the coming election will
be a big factor in bringing about this
confidence and will make it possible
for North Dakota to obtain the capt.
tai needed to employ labor.
At present, the governor said. the
fact that many league officials re-
main in Office has had the effect to
some extent in making outside in
vestors doubtful as to the permanency
Of the Independent victory. This
feeling car be removed If the Inde-
pendents make a clean sweep at tho
coming election. :
Tonight Governor Nestos will speak
at the United Commercial Travellers
convention to be held at Valley City.
Governor Frazier spoke at Chahee
late Wednesday.
Governor Nestos showed that in
1917 when the Nonpartisan league
improvements constituted 5s.1S per
cent OF the total taxes levied In the
state: In 1919 the share of taxation
borne by farm land and Improvement
was 1884 per cent and since then tt
has dropped only some two per cent,
being 6S.66 per: cent in 1924.
I 1t is inequitable. the governor de-
clared, that farm property should bear
SO large q portion of the tax burden,
and he declared his intention Il re;
..tseletted.ae to%ftake steps o Sredute The
share Of the taxes paid by. the farm
ers. ~ v
Mil and Elevator.
) The governor also took up in some
| detail the matter of the Grand Forks
| mill and elevator showing how the big
| plant was being pushed to completion
as rapidly as possible. =
IT, He. called attention to the losses at
thetDrake mill under the N~onpartisan
league administration n pointed out
that the N~onpartisan league had
placed atsthe head Of this enterprise j.
| A. McGovern. who by his " confess
sion was a grain man. not,.a mill
! man" He showed how the Nonpart-
isan league administration in its con-
| duct of the Drake mill had sustained
! losses amounting to about 500 for
each day it was operated, while since
its operations were put on a business
basis by the Independent administra-
ton it had shown a slight profit.
He reiterated his previous pledges
that the mill and elevator at Grand
Forlis should be completed and giver
a thorough and fair try-out. and
! pointed to the fact that the plant is
rapidly being pushed to completion a.
evidence that the administration in
tends loyalty to carry out it's pledge.

NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR
WOMEN IN AGRICULTURE

One of the best OF the MANY IN
teresting conferences Saturda.'
forenoon was the one presided Owe
by Miss Mary Hamlin of Amherst,
Mass, of the women's department
of the Massachusetts, Agricultural
college. Her subject was New
Departures for Women in Agricul-
ture."
Miss Hamlin spoke of the many
opportunities that are opening up
these days for the girls and women
both of the country and city, along
agricultural or its allied lines.
The city girl, with a liking for
agricultural or nature work has
not as many chances or as wide u
field as those in the country to de-
velop them, but she has many
chances for real service just the
same. For instance, the girl with
a liking for laboratory work can
do many things to aid agriculture
by taking up research work.
Attention was called to the sue
cess girls are making everywhere
in achievement club work, in ga
dening, in poultry raising, in can
ming projects and the like, AL of
which are healthy, money mcGing
pursuits, for women and girls of
energy, who have a desire to make
themselves of value and service to
those about them.

CONFERENCE PICNIC
HELD IN ARMORY

Because OF the threatening skies
in the late forenoon it was decid-
ed to hold the picnic in the armory
instead of on the golf links and
the big building was jammed to
the doors with more than seven
hundred girls. Equipped with
lunch boxes holding lunch for two
the girls marched from Grace Me
thodist church to the almory.
The system that maintained at
the South church for the banquet
was duplicated at Grace church
where a committee from the
churches of St. Johnsbury packed
and passed out the lunch boxes.
Each box contained four sand
witches, cake, doughnuts, and was
supplemented with ice cream. The
girls entered the church at the
rear door and marched past the
long table obtaining their boxes
and making their exit at the front
Of the church. There were hun
dreds of spectators out to watch
the long line file from the church
to the armory.

MISS AAGENSEN TALKS
ON OPPORTUNITIES

Miss Katherine A&gCnSeu of
Montpelier, teacher training super
visor of the Vermont board of edu-
cation, gave splendid talk on
"The Opportunities in Teaching
at the Fairbanks Museum, where
the class room was packed to its
capacity at HOO A. NJ. this NOM
ing.
Miss AaagcnSen reviewed the
many benefits to be derived from
teaching-the incalcula bic bene-
fits that also must fall upon those
to whom the teacher passes on her
knowledge. There are material
benefits to be secured from the
profession, Miss Aagensen said,
but these are overShadowed 5v the
greater satisfaction that comes
from service to the young children,
thirsting for knowledge.
Teaching, she declared, ac-
quaints one with books, adding
constantly to ones information
concerning all things, past present
and future. Teaching also develops
ones acquaintance with music. In
Vermont, Miss Aagensen said,
there is a kind of music which can
not be found elSewhere-the music
of nature from Dabbling brooks,
and from the birds.
All teachers shcEd make it their
duty to see that the children who
come under their instruction
should keep their eye open to the
beauties of nature which are every
where about Us. Children on their
way to school should be encour-
aged to report to the teacher what
they have seen along the way.
Girls who are thinking of enter
ing the noble profession of tech
ing should aim to develop their
personality. Everyone has some
particular talent which can be
developed by asiduous efforts
Miss AagenSen encoui aged the
large class OF girls to develop
cheerfulnesS as an invaluable
characteristic.
