IS attaCned to the romance, partlCu- larly by the press.
 When the newspapers began calling the Duke Prince Bertie" there were many who thought it was going bit far, but now they are even lampoon- ing the nickname. Even Time and Tide, magazine for women, which is largely owned by Lady Rhondda, "kids' the Duke. After the Duke and his fiancee went down to Sandring- hame to consult the Royal family con corning the wedding date and it had been announced that the marriage would probably take place in April, Time and Tide published the follow ing verse for "Prince Bertie":
 Shall I be married in April,
 Fatherdear?
 Oh, how I wish that April
 Was only here!
 Feb is so short, but it seems so long! March is a month that goes too strong! How can I wait for April
 To claim my dear?'
 That seems to be laying it on a bit thick" as they say in England, and no one could blame the Duke if he rose in his wrather and registered loud protest.
 Perhaps this indicates a change in the psychology of the British mind mind which has always had great respect for anything royal.
 Then there have been whisperings that someone might make a move inI Parliament to reduce the Dukes al- lowance. It is written down in the plainest English in the civil list that the Duke shall receive an allowance of 10000 pounds annually while single, and an allowance of 25,000 pounds if he marries. Someone has suggested that $125,000 year is too much for a Duke to be given to live on, when there is so much unemployment and distress throughout the country. Per- haps it is, but the financial responsi- biltes of the Duke are heavy. He will be required to maintain not only a wife, but at least town house and a country house, a fleet of motors, a stable and perhaps a yacht. He will have to entertain lavishly, and above all he must maintain his charitable contributions, which, it is said, amount to nearly half of the amount which he receives annually from the Govern ment. It seems certain that the Duke won't be able to lay much away for rainy day even at $125,000 year. But all of this muttering about cut ting his wages is only whispering and there is little likelihood of anything coming of it.
 Lady Elizabeth. the Dukes fiancee, is said to have had her first Royal advice. It is understood that it was just this: Don't give interviews" Lady Betty" was interviewed right and left when her engagement was first announced. The gossips say that this was displeasing to high parsonage in court circles, and the diminutive and bubbling little lady was given a few direct instructions about her responsi- bilities as a Royal fiancee and was cautioned against being led astray by the willy newspapermen, who were bound to make her talk if she re- ceived them.
 Her Royal Highness Lady Eliza beth"-That will probably be the off cial title of Lady Elizabeth Bowes- Lyon. The King is expected to be- stow the title "Her Royal Highness" upon his prospective daughter-in-aw.
 The wedding will probably be blue wedding. Lady Elizabeth has a dis tinct partiality for blue and she has already asked the Duke of York to be married in his Air Force uniform, which is horizon blue.

SNOW STORMS COSTLY
City Pays Bill of Over $500 SO Far
This Winter

So far this winter it has cost the
city Of Putnam a little more than
$500. according TO Superintendent Of
Streets Dumas, for the removal Of
snow. Considering the unusual and
heavy snow fan to date, this is re-
garded as not "a particularly large
snow removal bill, especially so in cen
sideration Of what it has cost some
other cities about the size Of Putnam
where the cost has risen into the thou
sands. The efficient use Of tip carts
rather than trucks. and an ample
number Of men that kept both the
snow and the tip carts moving, is re-
garded ais one q the reasons why this
city's bin for removal Of snow Is quite
moderate Supt. Dumas has received
numerous compliments for the excel
lent way in which he handled the prob
lem Of carting snow away and keep
ing the much Travelled business section
satisfactorily free Of snow.

GOOD NEWS FROM NORTH
nAKnTk

Our cream checks have doubled
in the past year" a farmer from
Bottineau county, n. D., told mem
bers OF the Interstate Commerce
commission at railroad rate
hearing. That statement speaks
volumes for diversified farming
and also for North Dakota's farm
ing possibilities. He said one good
crop will pay rs per cent Of the
farmers debts. The witness,
George SHERMAN of Lansfora, said
he planted 81 acres in corn and
300 in wheat and made profit on
the wheat, as well as on the corn.
Bottineau county is on the north
central border of North Dakota,
with little rivers that flow north
ward into Canada. In the past it
was hotbed of radicalism, par
ticularly when the grasshoppers
ate the crops or the sun burned
them up, as Mr.. SHERMAN men
toned. Yet in the floodtide Of war
prosperity, some Of the farmers
borrowed large sums OF money to
buy more land and used their cash
to spend the winter .in California.
Mr.. SHERMAN ascribed much OF
the discomfort of the past to home
steaders who did not intend to live
on the land they took up, but to
speculate in it. If they took a
gamblers chance and lost, tIhey
We're unfortunate, but it is hard to
see that such persons have any
grievance. or any right to repre-
sent themselves as oppressed farm
ers.
While advocating diversified
farming, the witness gave facts
which prove that the change from
one-crop cultivation or all grain
farming is seriously Handicapped
by our unwise federal taxation
system. 1t takes money to make
the change. but the interest rate
in Bottineau county is 10 per cent.
The local banker has to go outside
the county or the state to get loan
able funds. paying or per cent.
He must get 2 per cent to cover ex-
penses, besides losses on defaulted
loans. At 10 per cent. he has d
very small margin. The excess
profits taxes and heavy income sur
taxes drive capital out of the farm
loan field into tax eXempts and
help to keep the farm loan rate
high.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.
