Harding Lauds
Farm Bureaus

The county Farm Bureau office has
received a copy Of letter written by
President Harding to James R. How
ard, president Of the American Farm
Bureau federation, in which the chief
executive of the United States gives
outspoken praise to the Farm Bureau
organization.

"Its policies have been directed with

not join the carnival organization
when it was here a few weeks ago,
and this gives ground for the belief
and this may have been their mten-
ton when they left home. But the
girls took no wearing apparel other
than what they wore, when they dis
appeared.
The article published above relative
to the disappearance of three girls
of immature ages with three strang-
ers, taking the automobile route, is
another evidence of how little atten-
ton is paid by parents nowadays to
the whereabout of their children. 1t
is said that the automobile of today
sends girls to hell faster than any
other agency, but this should be
amended somewhat by including the
inattention of parents. 1t can hard
~ be expected that girls of twelve,
thirteen, fourteen, and even older, will
be very angelic if permitted to travel
out nights at all hours unattended,
and come in contact with the sort of
male species that also keeps those
hours. Unless parents are interested
enough to exercise some parental re-
straint, and get away from the modern
idea that children must be granted
everything they ask for, just so long
will girls associate with strangers if
the opportunity offers, and in many
instances go to the bad. The happen
stance at Luverne should be close
enough to home to cause some par
ents we could mention a little bit Of
anxiety.-Exchange.

on being invited to take ride, were
heard to decline.
They continued down the street
toward the place where the automo-
bilists overlook them, and as soon as
the girls were induced to enter the
car, it started east at rapid speed.
Relatives did not become much
alarmed over the failure of the girls
to return home until Monday, as it
was thought that they might have de-
cided to all spend the night at one
of their homes. Inquiry developed
however, that all three were missing.
Since then several different ru-
mors have been in circulation about
their having been seen walking near
Beaver Creek, near Hardwick and
elsewhere, but none of these reports
have proven tangible.
Since the disappearance of the girls
relatives have recalled that at least
one of the girls had, on several occa-
sions, expressed regret that she did

According to the Luverne Herald,
three Luverne girls, ranging in age
from thirteen to fifteen years, disap-
peared Sunday night, and up to yes
terday afternoon the anxious efforts
of relatives failed to develop any clue
as to their whereabouts.
The missing girls are Efie Miller,
age IA, who had been employed in the
Luverne cafe; Geneva Irwin, age 13;
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry r.

The girls were last seen at about
nine o'clock Sunday evening, enter
ing rather dilapidated Ford touring

all strangers, near the James HORNE

said to have spent about 20 minutes

about by the automobile. Says Bah

SUI 3.
During the past decade or more
people have been crowding into
the cities. Now, however, re-
verse movement to the country is
beginning which promises to be
the greatest shifting in population
since the institution of the rail-
road. Within the next ten or
more years the building of subur
ban homes should rival the growth
of the automobiles, good roads,
the movies, the photograph or
radio!
AS Babson points out, it is these in
ventions, and chiefly the motor car
that are making this movement pos
sible. The extension of street car
systems began the suburban move
ment; but the growing ownership OF
automobiles is making it jump. Liv-
ing a long distance from the office or
shop was difficult. if not impossible,
even with street cars. Now, with
automobiles to bring the suburban
tiles into town in few minutes, it is
easy.
Ten years ago, Babson shows, there
were a million passenger cars in this
country. New there are ten millions,
or nearly one to every ten people, and
the factories are turning more OF
them out as fast as they can. With
more automobiles have come more and
better roads. The neighborhood
movie, the photograph and now the
radio have provided amusements avail
able everywhere which people used to
be able to get only in town.
The cities, thus, are suddenly spread
ing. The inside congestion is loosen
ing as automobile owners pour out
into suburban homes. AS the clean,
open suburban home area invites peo-
pie out, they are pressed out by the
high rents and disagreeable living con-
ditions of the congested districts. 1t
is working at both ends; and observers
of real estate movements can see very
marked effects at both ends. For
while the settling of suburban areas
will affect values there, the thinning
out of congested areas cannot fail to
have it's effect there.
These are times of change, and the
changes thus described and forecasted
by Babson's are among the most IN
teresting in sight. They indicate the
need of careful and constructive think
ing by investors.
