CORN AVERAGES
20 Blu. PER ACRE

Wahpeton, N. D., Nov. IA
1O-acre field of White Rustler Dent
corn has just been harvested by
Brown Williams of Dexter township,
about 10 miles northwest of Lidger-
wood, that averaged 20 bushels an
acre.
The field had been in sweet clover
for the last two years before being
plowed and planted to ;, corn last
spring. The field was given only the
same care and attention as other corn
raised by Mr.. Williams and his
neighbors which is averaging about
SO bushels. The exceptional yield is
credited to the fertilizing qualities
of the clover.
Mr.. Williams owns his own farm

Letters Mailed
In 1914 Expected
In Germany Now

Berlin, Nov. 12.-There will soon
be delivered in Germany consign-
ment of letters posted a nine years
ago in one of the South Sea Islands.
Most of the mep who wrote these
communications are dead, and many
of the addresses will be hard to
find, SO must have conditions chang
ed in Germany in the last decade. In
view Of all the circumstances, stamp
collectors are hopeful of getting
some interesting specimens.
When the German Pacific cruiser
squadron under Admiral Won Spec,
which kept the shipping world guess
ing for the first four months of the
great war, put in Ponape, one of the
Caroline Islands, in August of 1914,
the sailors filled the local post office
with letters to friends and relatives
back in the fatherlandH Then they
sailed away to what was ultimately
their last fight; they went down be-
fore the English off the Falkland
Islands in December.
The letters never left Ponape. The
japanese got hold of them ultimately,
and not long ago turned them over to
the German postal authorities. Each
communication bears a special stamp
reading: mail of the Pacific cruiser
squadron of August, 1914"

STOKES LOSES
DIVORCE CASE

New York, Nov. 10. w. E. d.
Stokes, wealthy New York hotel man,
for the second time failed to
his efforts to divorce Mrs. Helen Ell
wood Stokes, formerly of Denver, Col.
The jury was out an hour and
eight minutes. Mr.. Stokes took the
jury's decision complacently. An ac-
ton for separation on Mrs. Stokes
behalf is on the calendar for next
Monday.
The re-trial which was ended by
the verdict today, opened before Su-
preme Court Justice Mohoney on Oc-
tober 8. 1t had been made necessary
by notification through legal tech,
nicality of a verdict found against
the wealthy hotel owner by a jury
in September, 1921, when Mrs. Stokes
was granted a decree of separation
and permitted to retain custody of
the two children. Modification was
from failure of Justice Finch to
sign both DEGREES before he was ele-
waited to the appellate division.

CONSTRUCTION
IN OCTOBER
INCREASES

October construction showed a sur
prising increase, according to F. w.
Dodge Corporation. Total contracts
awarded during the month in the SO
Eastern States amounted to $780,
$4,000. The increase over Septem-
Der was % per cent, whereas the nor
NAL season increase is per cent. In
81 Of these states the increase over
October of last year was &c per cent.
The largest October increase was
heaviest in New York state and
Northern New Jersey, and in the res
dentfa1 class. Apparently the fact
that building costs have declined only
slightly is not acting as very strong
deterrent on building operations. The
October increase, coming after a
steady decline since Spring, is to be
viewed from two angles. A fairly
heavy construction volume, keeping
che industry busy through the win
ter, is desirable. If the October rec
ord IS a fore runner of abnormally
high construction figures for the rest
Of this year and up to the opening
of the next Spring season, there is
danger of more severe reaction
next year than there was six months
ago.
Included in last months record
were the following important items:
I13, 042,o 900, or AZ per cent of the to-
tal,. for residential buildings; $685.
$4,000, or Is per cent, for public
works and utilities; $35,133,O 900, or
10 per cent, for business buildings;
$32,72l 900, for industrial buildings:
and $26,OS5,OOO, Of 7 per cent, for
educational buildings.
The total amount of construction
started during the first 10 months of
this year has amounted to $2,947,787,-
600, an increase of per cent over
the corresponding period Of last
year.
Contemplated new work reported
in October amounted to $556, 491 900.

ICELAND'S COLD WATERS
GIVE ABUNDANTLY OF

Copenhagen, Nov. 1--we all have
heard about the Iceland of old, the
land of the sagas and eddas and of
mighty warriors, but very few know
about modern Iceland, though the
tale of her recent development and
the great plans for Harvesting her
great natural powers and resources

those old sagas.
Iceland's minister to Denmark,
Sveinn Bjornsson, tells Of the won

Iceland herring contains a higher

The taxes on the plant are more

Oran, Algeria, Nov. IAN extra
ordinary sequel to an incident of the
war occurred recently inAthis harbor,
and before an explanation was broad
cast caused much excitement along
the waterfront.
A German submarine in 1916 laid
mines at the port entrance. In due
time the steamer Hivos, laden with
grain, struck one of these bombs
and went down keel uppermost in 80
fathoms.
There she lay for seven years, but
during this time the confined grain
was generating gas. This finally lift
Cd the steamer again to the surface
where she righted and promptly blew
up. Nobody was near and it was at
night, so for while the mystery
was unsoived, but the answer was

FINDS AGAINST
JAP TEACHERS
IN HA W All
Decision Comes as Result of
Suit to Prevent Enforcing
of Language Law

Honolulu, Nov 1.-THE system Of
government of the territory of
, hawaii "cannot endure half-Ameri-
can and half-Japanese," Circuit
Judge Frank Andrade has declared,
in upholding the constitutionality of
the territorial law regulating the
conduct Of alien language schools
which are predominantly Japanese in
number and attendance. .,e
The decision came inn the suit of
the Palama and Kalihi japanese LAM
guage- schools to restrain territorial
officials from enforcing the law in
question, which was adopted by the
legislature of 1920. The measure
provides that all teachers in the
language schools must have obtain
ed from territorial school officials a
certificate following an examination
into the applicants knowledge of the
deals of democracy, American his
tory and institutions, and the abili-
~ to read, write and speak the Eng
lish language.
The Palama and Kalihi schools
the fifht and fourteenth amendments
to the federal constitution.
"That the right to teach a foreign
language to pupils in a private school
exists, there is no doubt, but such
right is subject to the paramount
right Of the people to impose upon
the engagement thereof any reason
able legislation the public welfare
may require" Judge Andrade's deci-
sion said. 81 am convinced that the
law is within the fifth and four
teenth amendments to the constitu-
ton; that it is regulatory and it's re-
quirements are reasonable and not
arbitrary. Having decided that the
act is the proper exercise of the po-
lice power of the legislature in such
matters, it necessarily follows that
it is not contrary to the provisions
of the treaty of commerce and navi-
cation existing between the United
States and Japan.
IF part of the education of some
of the American children is the
learning of the japanese language,
and if they are allowed. to be taught
by teachers who are Indifferent to
our ideals of democracy, or who do
not know how to read, write or speak
the English language, such teachers
will not impart to the future citizens
of Hawaii these essential principles
of Americanism with any degree of
learning, even though such teachers
may desire earnestly to do So"
