In 1915, the sweet clover acreage was
Fl, 526. In 1923, it was 23O,185.
The production of0 hogs in 1919
was 100000 in 1923, $4,000.
North Dakota produces all these
agricultural products with the sea-
soA's. rainfall and without irriea-
ton or single ounce of Industrial
fertilizer. -
North Dakota has 100000, OOO, O0O
tons of high grade Ignite Coal. The
greatest deposit of continuous

the world. Enough coal to warm
every home, turn every wheel in
every factory in this country for 200
years and still barely scratch the
surface of this special gift of God
to the people of North Dakota. The
day cannot be far distant when this
coal long patiently awaiting the
magic touch of organized capital will
produce the cheapest electricity the
world knows and shoot it hundreds
of miles away for heat and. light.
North Dakota has the greatest de-
post of high grade pottery clay
in the world. We already have many
beautiful specimens of china ware
manufactured out of this clay, but
only in quantities sufficient for ex-
hibit purposes. The clay, like our
coal, awaits the day when business

is ECONOMY,
SAYS KANE
President Of North Dakota
Institution Says Students
Pay Much of Way
CITES THE BENEFITS

"My first suggestion is that the
cure for the financial ills of the
schools of North Dakota is thor
ough study of school support on
the part of the taxpayer and the
schoolman together" said Thomas F.
Kane, president Of the University of
North Dakota in his address before
the N. D. E. A. this afternoon.
In pointing out the value of edu-
cation he emphasized the American
tradition since the time of the
Pilgrim fathers who founded col
lege, Harvard, in 1886, a very short
time after their landing on Ply
mouth Rock in order that they might
train leaders of their own since
breaking with England and the
church of England.
In order to answer this question
he said that it should have approach
ed the ideal set by the Pilgrims
"to make every child in the land able
| to read for himself" so that the
| ideal of democratic government
, might be carried out. He said that
the answer to- this might be seen in
statistics showing that while but two
per cent of the people were college
trained yet out Of this two per cent,
comes 70 per cent of the names in
Who's Who in America as men and
women who have become outstanding
for their success and leadership in
their lines of work.
He answered the question of how
does the University pay for itself
by the fact that 29.7 per cent of the
students counting both meh and
make all of their own expenses work
ing in term time and in vacations.
In addition to these 34.6 per cent Of
them meet serious part of their
expenses, leaving only 1851 per cent
not helping toward their own expen-
SeS.
The service of the university comes
in the fact that large per cent of
the students who acquire university
training could not do so if they had
to face the larger expense of going
farther from home and entering
sch ools with high tuition rates. 1t
would cost an average of something
like $500 more a year per student
for them to go to eastern schools,
st was pointed out Assuming that
all the students of North Dakota
University might go east the differ
ence in expense to- them and other
citizens of the state would be three
quarters of million dollars a year,
he said.
President Kane said that it was
the duty of the schoolmen in full
filling their functions to, at all times
Recognize the need for economy in
public expenditures, to hold them
selves responsible for advertising the
public as experts and efficiency EN-.
gineers.
He said that he had no fear but
that the people would support the
schools of the state when it was
clear to them that the schools were
run efficiently and on an economic
OASIS.

No Communism
."There is no communism in Russia

Gradually, he said, things will i'm

Count Tolstoy warned Americans
to beware Of Bolshevism. He had

also warned that it be combated by
education and love, and not whence.

Urges Consideration of Rural
Schools as Integral Part
of National System !

There can be no cure for our f.
nancial ills with inadequate, in
equitable and obsolete methods Of
taxation for PUBLIC school support,
C. c. Swain, president Of the State
Normal school at Mayville, declared
in an address before teachers at the
financial symposium of the North
! Dakota Education association here
today. Mr.. SWANS address dwelt
entirely on the remedies for curing
the financial ills in the state s rural
school system"
Seven suggestions were advanced
by Mr.. Swain in the course of his
address for the betterment Of the
financial status of the rural school.
They were:
l. Consideration Of the rural
schools as an integral part OF our
state and national system of edu-
cation.
g An increased and properly ap-
portioned allowance Of state and, fed
eral money.
3. A reasonably economic return
to the farmer.
4. A county unit Of taxation and
administration of rural schools.
5. A reform in our methods Of tax
alton and collection and greater
use of/i home and indirect taxes.
g. Greater economy and efficiency
in spending public money.
Z. An enlightened public con-
science.

least of all the states do we need to
be as those who have no hope. The
manhood and womanhood that con-
quered the obstacles of pioneer life
in North, Dakota will find way out
of cur present difficulty.
"iowever. greater prosperity will
function only as we devise a system
whereby the burden of popular edu-
cation is ECU tably distributed. Our
