prissy boy,
silly boy;
His hands white,
His figure slight,
His voice trife shrill
He seemed good example Of
sample of
A "Wile-boy'
In every way
That one could say,
He seemed to fill the bill!
The boys began to joke with him,
They spoke with him
Quite airily;
He blushed bright pink
And seemed to shrink
Within his girish skin:
Till some used blghting word
fighting word
Them verify,
All in tiff ~
1t seemed if
A cyclone started in!
The gang that had been Gliding him
And riding him
All lay about;
And much amaze
Was in the gaze
Of every battered lamp;
MY words" the kid said "prize or
not
It's wiser not
To play about
With any gee
Who is like me,
At present-ightweight champn

FLAX PRICE

P. +. Trowbridge, director of the eX-
pertinent station at the North Da-
kota Agricultural college.
Information from eastern points
where there are flax by-products in
dustrics states that. the buyers for
these concerns are now buying heav-
lily although they had first adopted
the policy of waiting in hopes that
the flax market would drop. Their
recent buying activities indicate to
DR.. Trowbridge that the buyers have
given up hopes of lowered prices for
flax and that is. the reason they
have started buying SO heavily.
at would seem safe to anticipate
good price and a heavy demand for
seed next spring" said Mr.. Trow-
bridge. 'In spite of the fact that
flax is being marketed now the price
continues to hold up and the mar
ket does not show any signs of wav-
ering downward. The Argentina flax
is coming on the market in January
but this does not seem to deter the
flax buyers from buying the Amer-
can raised variety"

Has Miraculous
Escape From Death

Dickinson, Nov. when the farm
wagon in which he was riding was
struck and badly wrecked by North
Coast Limited train No. at the
crossing by the Dickinson Wholesale
Grocery, Frank j. Kostelecky, resid-
ing south of the city, miraculously
escaped instant death. The train
(which was slowing down for the sta
ton, was stopped within few car
lengths.
Mr.. Kostelecky apparently uncon-
scious of the approach of the train,
drove over the crossing just as it
was approaching the station. The
engine crashed into tn rear end of
the wagon, dcmolishing it and throw
ing the driver several feet. He was
picked up unconscious and rushed to
St. Joseph's hospital, where it was
found that outside of few severe
body bruises he was uninjured. He
recovered sufficiently to be able to
leave the hospital and return to his
home within few hours.

START FIGHT
ON LIQUOR
IN ENGLAND
Professor Writes Book on
Action of Alcohol. on
Man

London, Nov. Almost everyone
in England feels that some day in
the future this country will be the
scene of big fight over the prohi-
bition question. Both sides are al
ready busy believing from soap
boxes and lecture platforms, and
spreading printed propaganda here
and there.
To the side of the vets has just
come Professor Ernest H. Startling,
University College, London, with a
book on "The Action of Alcohol on
Man"
"The york Of the community" he
contends, sis carried out almost en-
tirely by men nth whom the mo-
derate use of alcohol is habitual.
I'VE have only to look at the lead
ers in every walk of life. In each
group we find small handful who
are total abstainers, butAA census
would probably give over 20 percent
who habitually partakessof small
doses of alcohol. Health ia in most
people necessary condition Of sue
cess, and most of the members OF the
leading groups of society enumerat-
ed are distinguished not only by
their good general healthy> but~alsQ
by the fact that they live to a ripe
old age" M.H
Dry dinners are an awful bore to
everyone, the Professor seems tc
think, and the merriment is obvious
ly forced. But an ordinary feast at
which alcoholic drinks form a part
is ever distinguished by a natural
flow of spirits and good fellowship"
"a man may 60 to such a dinner
full of the cares and work of the
day, with little or no interest in
those he has to meet, whose occupa-
tons may be very diverse from his
own, nervous of making amy re.
marks to his neighbors for fear of
making himself ridiculous or saying
something in which they are no,
interested. After the first glass OF
champagne We notice the converse
ton, instead of being spasmodic and
forced, becomes general and free;
the self-consciousness and preoccu-
patton of each man with his own af-
fairs becomes Jesse ned"

FARM FL0CKS
INCREASING
Many Farmers Adopting
Limit of 40 on Sheep

Fargo. Nov. 7.--"Farm flocks of
forty are becoming more numerous
in the state, according to D. j. Girls
void, sheep, specialist at the North
Eakota Agricultural college.
THE interest this fall in sheep
has shown itself mainly in breed
ing stock rather than in feeder
sheep" said Mr.. Gr.swold. Farmers
'ound that feeder lambs were being
held 1T u premium and they would
not risk buying these lambs and rum
ming them on such narrow margin.
The only gain this fall for the lamb
feeder has been what poundage may
be added to the lambs between the
time they are purchased this fall
and when they are sold again on the
butcher market.
Breeding sheep, on the other hand,
have greatly interested the North
Dakota farmer. John Haw, county
agent leader Of this state reports
That many county agents report a
sudden revival of interest in breed
ing sheep. Farmers realize that if
feeder lambs were at such good
premium there must be good money
in raising them.
Now the North Dakota farmers are
buying their own breeding ewes and
one or two good rams and will have
lambs to sell at premium next
fall

NEW LAW BARS
RISK PAYMENT
OUTSIDE n. D.
Rule Cites in Digest Of Recent
Decisions of Workmen's
Compensation Bureau

That no compensation may be paid
by the Workmen's Compensation
Bureau to employees outside the state
of North Dakota was called to the
attention Of employers in case
which has just been decided by the
bureau. The cAse is described by
Commissioner Wenzell as follows:
Claimant was injured in August,
1928, subsequent to the going into
effect of an amendment to the law
providing that no compensation shall
be paid on account of injuries oc-
curing outside of the state of North
Dakota unless the employer and the
Bureau shall have previously con-
tracted for insurance protection for
employees while working outside of
the state in the employment in which
the injury occurred. Claimants en-
ployer had made no such contract
at the time of the injury. Claim dis
missed for the reason that the Bur-
eau was without authority to allow
same under the amendment. (This
was a minor injury, involving very
little in dollars and cents, but should
serve to- call employers attention to
this change in the law"
Another case, somewhat unusual, is
digested by Mr.. Wenzell as follows:
claimant was an employe Of bank
(cashier). His small son brought
his wagon, filled with ice, to bank
and requested claimant to go home
with him to fill the ice box, which
he did. While trying to put chunk
of ice from wagon to ice box it fell
on his foot, severely injuring the
toes. Claim dismissed for reason
that injury was not sustained in the
course of employment"
A third case follows: claimant
was bricklayer and plasterer. Upon
completion of construction job in
North Dakota employer took crew
to Minnesota point. Employer and
claimant, with others, left Fargo in
an auto which was overturned on the
way, and balance of journey made by
train. Claimant company complain
ed but little of injury, continued
work and received full pay until
completion of Minnesota job After
expiration of more than 60 days a
claim for compensation filed. Claim
dismissed on ground that there was
no injury and that no satisfactory
explanation had been made of failure
to file claim on time"

Upturn in Liverpool Helps

Chicago, Nov. T. Unexpected
strength in wheat quotations at
Liverpool, together with a big
bulge in the cotton market at New
York, had bullish influence on
wheat here today during the early
dealings. Upturns in the value of
corn served also to revive bullish
sentiment regarding wheat. Buy
ing in the wheat pits, however,
lacked volume and advances fail
ed to hold we'll. The opening
which ranged from one-fourth to
five-eighths higher with Deem
Der $1.06 Ia to 1-2 and May ST. J.

reaction.
Increased selling which found sup
port lacking brought about mate
rial hold-back in wheat prices about

session. The market with the help
of corn was rallying again near the
finish. Wheat closed unsettled at 3-8
