patriot Arofiteers got most of it
back, thai is the bright spot.

It is announced firmly that the
president will not interfere in the
coal strike. because he feels that no
good would come of interference.
The. question is, will the coal strike
interfere with President Coolidge.
Another election coming in 1928, and
workmcn vote, as do people that can
get no coal.
Roosevelt would not have missed
such u bright spotlight as the coal
strike offers. He would have been
right under it, hat in hand, teeth
showing, voice loud and clear. And
he would have stopped the coal
strike. But the people and the work
men have short memories. It is a
long way to 1923. If wages stay up,
and stock prices stay up. and no ac-
cident happens, it would take over
whclming ingenuity to interfere with
Coolidgc's recollection in 1928. And
remember that it will be his second
election and not third term.

'DEVINE URGES
THAT FARMERS
PLANT TREES
Groves Around Farm Build
ings Would Prove a Good
Investment, He Says

Plans for a paint and trees" cam
paign to be carried on in that part of
the state lying west Of the James
River Valley are being considered
BY J. NJ. Dcvine, commissioner of i'm.
migration.
Such campaign, Dcvinc believes,
would contribute much to both the
wealth and happiness of the North
Dakota farmer.
"Whcn man comes into North
Dakota to buy farm and make his
home here he misses the trees he has
always known further cast" said De-
vine. "Pcople who have lived in
the states east of Us feel that our
state is rather bare. When such a
person sees a farm home surrounded
by trees he would gladly pay two or
three dollars an acre more for tho
whole farm in order to live in place
where he feels he will be happier
than in house on the bare prairie.
They Can BE Grown Here
1--WE can grow trees in North Da-
kota. That has been proved by gov
eminent experts at the Mandan Field
Station of the Department Of Agri-
culture, one Of the most beautiful
spots in this section Of the state. For
nominal sum farmers can not only
get material to plant around their
homes but also can get their advice
on where and what to plant and how
to care for it.
"For the farmer who submits to
them layout of his farm home they
will draw a blueprint showing him
where to plant to the best advantage
and all other information he needs to
know. We can grow more trees in
North Dakota and every man who
plants them will find them a good in
vestment. not only in dollars but in
health and satisfaction for himself,
his wife and his family"
Devine, who was born in West
Virginia, still recalls the tall trees
of his native state with joy. They
are the reason why he would like
to see more trees in North Dakota.
Needed for Shade
| Farm mothers and farm children,
he said, are entitled to trees be-
cause of the cool shade and their
aesthetic value. A grove of trees
around every home, he insists, would
be ono of the biggest and cheapest
advances that could be made in the
state.
The paint question, he believes
will solve its1f as farms become
more and more convinced that it is
Il good investment. Recently, he
said, he passed farm house before
