 JUNEAU, Mar. 3.--If the forthcom- ing session of the legislature passes all of the bills presented and suggest ed to it for enactment into law it will probably go down into history as one of the most prolific yet convened. If it deals in detail with all of them it will also be one of the busiest of ali sessions.
 Up to the present time virtually all of the measures enacted at the sev- eral sessions were either brought here by the members, pet bills of their own and of their constituents, or suggested by the governor in of- flee at the time of the session. Not only will similar measures be brought in at the coming session but in addi- tion there will be mass of bills sent to the Legislature from the Attorney Generals office. At least forty such measures have been prepared and will be transmitted with the Attorney Generals biennial report. No definite information is available as to the na- ture of all these. Some were recom- mended by Federal sudges in the Territory; others by the commission on Uniform Laws; some by persons interested in various businesses; some are amendments to existing laws. Revive s-Hour Legislation
 It is virtually certain that the mat ter of establishment of general 8 hour working day in all kinds of in dustry except possibly some classes of seasonal work, will be revived. The Attorney General holds that the bill formerly enacted was unconstitution- al, and it is not unlikely that the bill will be -eenacted or one similar be up for action.

FORECAST OF POLITICS MADE:
 ALL MAY NOT BE HARMONIOUS

Apparently it is the desire of the members of the coming session to es- tablish a salaried territorial Road Commission and give the Divisional members plenary powers over the ex- penditure of all Territorial funds and all construction in their individual di- visions.
 Little Change in Taxes
 The TreasureS's report to the Leg islature will probably show healthy cash balance in the Treasury. The general principles of the existing tax laws, it is believed, will be commend ed and asked to be continued. Some minor changes will probably be re- commended. The Commissioner of Education will show schools of all kinds to be in healthy condition. The term of L. D. Henderson, who has till- ed the office since it was created, ex- pires early this spring.
 Big Fight Humoreo
 Rumors that fight will be made against the present system of Terri torial government have been circu- lated locally for several weeks. Criti- cism has been made of the bestowal of power on the Governors office over purely Territorial matters. It is re- ported that bill will be introduced to provide for the creation of an office of Territorial Manager carrying sal- ary of s1O 900 per year and making it elective. This office would take over all the purely Territorial functions of the Governors office and probably those now exercised by the Territorial Secretary. There will be bills intro- duced to make the office of Treasurer, Mine Inspector, Labor Commissioner. and probably commissioner of Educa- tion elective.

cows and he makes more in 20 weeks
from the ten Holstein grade cows he

Editorial Review
THE TRANSFORMATION

Slowly but surely North Dakota
residents are awakening to the fact
that a great information is taking
place in the state-the one crop idea
Is fading away and diversification is
gaining a firm foothold. The change
has been brought about slowly. Dur,
ing the past year, however, its pro-
gress has been shown to marked
degree in the large fields Of corn and
other forage crops and in the in
creased numbers Of cattle and hogs
that are to be found on the farms.
During the past few years farmers
of the state have been facing a grave
crisis. Years of drouth brought cri-
teal conditions to the agricultural
industry and continuous one crop
farming methods had Slapped the soil
of it's fertility. Then in spite of the
existing hard times North Dakota
farmers awoke to the danger and the
change began. Diversified farming
mAth DDS arc now expanding and with
in a few years we predict that North
Dakota will be as great dairy state
as either Minnesota or Wisconsin.
The days of wheat raising in North
Dakota arc not ovcr--not by a long
shot. But unless we miss our guess
there will be fewer acres planted in
the future and better yields obtained
from those fewer acres for the soil is
being put back into shape. There will
be more feed crops raised and more
hay, more cattle and more hogs and
before long the average farmer in
stead of having but one product that
he can turn into money in the fall OF
the year will have a good sized pay
check coming IN each month.
The transformation is going ia
work wonders for North Dakota and
its people. The state is already get
ting on it's feet after many hard
years. Progress will be even more
rapid in the future. And, because OF
the change that is being brought
about farmers are going to be IN
much better shape to weather tho
gale should season Of dry years
ever again be visited upon the Slope

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
By Olive Roberts Barton

Piggy Wig Pig and Saucy Snout
Pig and Twisty Tail Pig were all
lying side by side in cool, muddy
puddle in Squealy-Moo Land.
They looked like three sausages
that had been stuffed too tight and
were ready to burst if you touched
them.
Piggy Wig Pig was black. Saucy
Shout Pig was white and Twisty
Tail Pig was black and white, but
just now they were brown all over,
the three of them, for they had
rolled in the mud and dried off and
they were sights to behold!
Lets talk about something to
eat" said Piggy Wig Pig.
eyes, let's" agreed the others.
But to Nancy and Nick and Mister
Dodger. the fairy man, on the other
side of the fence, it just sounded as
though one pig was grunting, an
other squealing and another snort
ing, such funny noises they made
when they talked.
Il like buttermilk with corn cobs
floating in it," said Piggy Wig Pig,
smacking his lips.
"And l like the days they have
! apple pies!" said Saucy Shout. "Then
they dump all the apple Feelings and
apple cores into the trough. UNI"
"Oh, l like anything" declared
Twsty Tail. "I'm not particular.
Clover's good, though. l like that"
Now, l didn't tell you that there
was another little pig in the field,
but there was A nice, clean little
red fellow, who wasn't very fat, or
very big, or very curly-his tail
wasn't-and he wasn't dirty at all!
But he was very hungry.
Farmer Brown had bought him
from neighbor. and he felt very
lonely and forlorn, for the other
pigs wouldn't look at him at all!
| Just then there was a loud bump
ing. 1t was Farmer Brown empty
ing his slop pals into the trough
at the pig-sty.
Instantly there was a scrambling,
and off started the four pigs for
their lunch.
"Get out!" squealed Piggy Wig
Pig at the stranger.
"Wait till we're through" grunted
Saucy Shout over his fat shoulder.
"We'll give you what's left" called
Twisty Tail.
That's the way it always was. Nc
wonder poor Reddy Pig was SO thin
and hungry! For. there never was
anything left!
But suddenly something happened
Nancy grabbed one greedy pig by
his hind foot, and Nick grabbed an
other and Mister Dodger grabbed the
third. ~>
GO on, Reddy, and eat your fill
cried the fairy man.
Which he did without any coaxing
There was never any more trouble
after that, for the pigs all promised
to be good.

In Missouri, It's Just "Miss Emma's Fair
Woman Makes Success Of Annual Farm Show
Where Gambling and Risque Shows
Are Taboo

BY NEA Service.
Carthage, Mo-, Oct. Its q
mistake to believe that farmers
want to see risque shows and
gamble at fairs. They prefer to
see good livestock"
Running fair is business
and an all-year job even though
the fair lasts only four or five
days Of the year"
"A woman can run fair as
we'll as$a. man if she puts the
same amount. of fight and en-
ergy into, her work."
These are the declarations OF
Miss Emma h. Knell, for 22 years
secretary and manager of tn g
Southwest Missouri Fair held here
annually.
In this part of Missouri almost
everyone calls it "Miss Emma's
fair" This is a tribute to woman's
efficient management Of the institu-
ton.
Until recently Miss Knell was the
only woman secretary of a fair in
the country. Now there are three
or four others, she says.
Inhcrits Business.
A quarter of q century ago Miss
Knell's father, Edward Knell, start
ed . the Southwest Missouri fair
mostly because. of his love of race
horses and new stock. 49,.
From her. father Miss Knell in
herited that same love of fine ami
mails. From the day she took charge,
after her father died, the fair began
to grow and now it attracts thou
sands from two dozen southwest
Missouri counties each year and,
unusual for fair, more than pays
its own way.
No Gambling.
"It's clean from first to last" the
secretary boasts. II find that
