An Excellent Showing

Joseph NJ Devine. immigration commits
s.oner has prepar red a graphic and most Illuminating
statement on the value OF North Dakoas grain crop
and diversified farm products for last year.
The grand total reaches the imposing figure OF
1871 10000 Few realize the va.ue Of crops
and products not always associated with North Da-
kota. Corn, for instance, is valued at moxe than
fifteen million ahead OF rye and very close TO oats
and barley. 1t is encouraging situation.
After wheat dairy products top the list with value
OF nearly fifty million. This state is just getin:
started In the dairy business and the agricf. tnral
development Of the few years doubtless Will

acreage will increase, for that crop spells continu

AS Mr. Devine paints out the statement shows
that the North Dakota farmer has not placed all
his eggs in one baske, and is getting bank
deiositing, not bank borrowing basis.
One has only to contrast the value Of diversified
farm products in 1920 with that CT 1925. In 1920

value have passed by more than one-half that Of
the grain crops. That steady transition

Verdict Upheld

conviction of Col. William Mitchell Is now before
President Coolidge for final approval. Findings Of
the court martial were approved largely as mat

The verdict Of that court reflected doubtless the
general attitude of army Offcialdom. Mitchells
verbal explosives were aimed at those occupying
the highest posts OF authority in both army and
navy circles That stern sentence would be his
fate was generally predicted and the approval of the
sentence passed comes merely as another step in
army routine.
Final action, however, is OF supreme interest
President Coolidge will view the pros and cons OF
the case from other than military angle OF
be guided largely by the law in the case, but his
Judgment is not rigidly prescribed as that OF
military court. It is within his power to commute
all or any part OF the sentence.
President Cocldges decision, II it sustains the
verdict, may end Col. Mtchels army career and
plunge him into political activity He can in such
an event assume martyrdom that may bring him
large fees on the lecture program or through the
columns Of the press.
ON the other hand modification OF the sentence
can be made which will make Col Mitchell still

HELD IN rum CASE
Federal Investigation of Vio-
Iations in City and County
Offices Continues.

the edifice and resulted in arrest of a
clerk in the city controllers Office.
Prohibition agents slipped up to the
controllers office and served a war
rant on Austin r. Concannon, clerk
in the paymaster's division, which
charged that he had worked with VIII
liam Dessow, county employe, arrest
ed Saturday, in purveying drinks to
employees. Agents said they purchas-
ed liquor from the pair in corridor
outside the mayors office.
COncannonS arrest caused none of
the excitement occasioned by Satur-
days foray into the crowded tax ex-
tension department.. The Federal
men went directly to Concannons 8
desk. spoke to him quietly, and he
conferred with his employer, then
went calmly to the Federal building,
where he was held under $4,000 bond
on charges of selling and possessing
liquor.
News of his arrest spread rapidly
and city hall employers directed their
clerks to produce any information
they had of prohibition violation in
the building.
Later Concannon resigned. stating
that while he regretted the incident,
he was entirely innocent of the
charges.
