NORTH DAKOTA COMES BACK

North Dakota has come back
into the Union" says her Cover
nor, MIR. Nestos, who is here to
tell New York" His phrase is
exactly descriptive. For seven
years the State was sort OF So
cialist enclave in the United States.
Essentially State OF small towns
and farms, almost all Of whose
people are farmers, the latter suf-
fered from real grievances, for
which they took the wrong RENE
dies. We needn't recall the er.er-
prises and activities, State or Nom
Partisan League-mOst OF them
disastrous which were entered
upon boldly and hopefully. The
experiment. failed. Mr.. Townley,
the moving force OF the League,
has admitted its failure. Some
what late, he found that there are
general economic forces more
powerful than the State which
make it impossible for State eLtsr-
prises to succeed.
Well. the old picture of strug-
Cling North Dakota, whose bonds
were hawked about and found no
buyers, is turned to the wall. The
conservative good sense OF the peO-
ple has rejected the schemes the
unwisdom OF which experience has
convinced them. The Nom Partisan
League is hardly more than u
memory The State credit stands
deservedly high. The State bust
nesses have either been wound up
or have been put into the hands Of
experts. The extent of the lank
failures has been greatly overesti-
mated. according to :he Governor.
The. State was curiOusly over
banked. There was bank for
every seven hundred pers ons.
Farm loans are being made con-
servatiyely. Little land has been
a ba ndoned. Few mortgages have
been forec!osed. The falling prices
of wheat, the main product, is
bringing about. there as in other
States, a diversification OF crops.
As a remedy-for the decline IL
wheat prices, Governor NeStos sug-
gests, besides crop Investigation
and cooperative mark citing. "pos-
sibly an increase in the wheat tar
if and cooperation between pub
lie and private capital to tide the
farmer over the present difficult
time" The word possibly" seems
to indicate the doubt in the Cover
nor's mind OF the effectiveness Of
any more t6rih magic to cure the
farmers WOES. 1t is good news

ADVENTURE OF

Hello, here, what's this?" cried
Nick. Every other board is gone
off the sides. What do you s'pose

at must have been Storm sug-

"Perhaps they ran out of boards"
said Nick, "and had to put them on

good thing Dixie Land is warm.
Such an open house would never do
