The Land Movement in North Dakota
MINNEAPOLIS Journal)

(MlnnedpOlS JOurHalD
On several occasions The Journal has referred to
the good fortune that came to North Dakota as a
result of the recent droughts in that escaped farm
land initiation, such as bcfe Iowa and parts Of
South Dakota. The land values remained stable,
with the result that today there greater farm
ing opportunities than in western North Dakota.
The April news letter published by the Minot
Association Of Commerce brings US late information
of this. 1t says there more inquiries for land
in northwestern North Dakota than for many years.
The Minot Association made survey over four
months ago. and found that banks in that section of
the State made sales last fall of than two mil
lion dollars in farm land and sales have been steady
since. In the last week of March the famous farm
Of Colonel E. S. Person, of Minot, was sold to man
who had been renting a nearby farm for several
years. banker at Ryder, forty miles southwest CT
Mnot reported that twenty quarter sections of land
had been sold through his bank since last harvest.
He estimated the average quarter selling for four
thousand dollars He said the second bank at Ry-
der had sold ten quarters and in addition an entire
section to an Iowa farmer. Most of these sales,
however, are to local buyers, men who have made
money in the last few years from dairying and
sheep raising in that section. ~ Il
The plain fact is that prices of Iowa farm lands
contained too much water, and tho water had to be
squeezed out with loss to farmers who did not stop
to think that you can raise no stuff on four
hundrcddollar land than OH the same land valued at
two hundred dollars acre year ago. .s
NORTH Dakota has escaped all that It is oneg16

BIDDY HEN AND THE GOBLIN

blDDf HEN AND THE GOBLIN
Mrs. Bunny wasn't bit cross
because Mister Tingaling and The
Twins had broken into her house, as
you might say.
Indeed she and Mister Bunny and
her sister-in-law all had good
laugh, and it ended up in the visitors
being invited to stay to lunch.
Mrs. Bunny set three more places,
and that made six Of them.
The Twins thought they wouldn't
care for carrot-pie, but really it tast-
ed almost like pumpkin-pic. And as
for plantain-seed cookies, you hardly
could tell them from caraway.
They talked about the bad little
goblin, Snitchcr Snatch, and his rela-
tions, the Gazookumses.
II tell you what, Mister Tinga-
ling" said Mister Bunny as he light
ed cigar after lunch and tilted his
chair back comfortably, "you'll have
to watch out for those young rascals.

"Listen!" said Mrs. Bunny sudden

They all rushed to the window Of
Mrs. Bunny's house in the pinc-trcc
stump and pccpcd from behind the
the curtain.
And this is what they saw and
heard.
Biddy Hen was saying, "Cluck-a.

new house, SO ! can make nest that
Farmer Greenway won't find.'
II know the very place you wish,
Madam" Snitcher Snatch replied, not

Editorial Comment
The English Case
baltimore SUM-


Impeachment Of federal judge is a peculiarly
shocking proceeding.
Although prohibition has turned many of the fed
era district courts into police magistrates offices
in large part Of each term the public still regards
the members of the federal judiciary as among the
most exalted of public servants in rank and in
character To disgrace one Of them is, therefore
spectacle which in very especial way projects
upon the imagination the horror that is in the
swift fall of man from the heights into the
blacklist depths
Yet it is difficult to see that the house Of re-
representatives. could have done other than vote the
trial of Judge English by the senate. The mass Of
evidence that was offered had too much weight
to be ignored; it called for complete examination.
In the house there suggestion Of politics,
although in the voting members Of both parties
seemed essentially Of one mind.
Perhaps it is inevitable that partisan lines should
be drawn in the preliminary stages Of such matter.
But it is to be hoped that when Judge English
goes trial before the senate such lines will
exist.
Whether adjudgcd guilty not guilty, the verdict
must be beyond suspicion.

Cambridge, Mass, May o7 Pl- Hope isrising that Harvard may Hope is rising that Harvard may |and field crown going west again this year when representatives of .@2 colleges meet at the starium here Friday and Saturday.
 Although Harvard lost to Yale last Saturday by a third of a point. the Crimson possesses real power on the track. It counts on Yale to take enough points in the field events to assure that the crown will remain in this part of the country.
 Many believe Al Miller, husky Harvard dash man, will score a vic tory over the national champion. Frank Hussey of Boston College. Hussey has been running below form all spring. and is overweight for the coming meet, Miller's most serious opponents are Russell Of Cornell. Barber of California and House of Southern California.
 Thirty points should prove enough to give any team Of the meet honors and the Crimson coach. Edward L. Farrell will realize his fondest dreams if his charges should romp home winners. He has entered Mil Ter in both dashes, Frank Kane in the 40. John "Soapy" Walters in the half mile, Ellsworth Haggcrty in the mile and Willard Tibbetts in the two mile. All have proved their metIo in former meets. and should press strongly for first places in their events.
 Both the Southern California and Stanford squads arrived in Boston yesterday. Coach Templeton of the latter institution. whose team won the Pacific coast conference meet q week ago. expects to devote the ma jor part hf his 2 men to the field events, Southern California's 15 all Of whom seem likely 10 survive Fridays trials, will be evenly devoted to track and field contests.

 competition by Charles Hon. Norwe-

 The decision was made public today
 by William C. Prout, committee chairman.
 The committee announced that if had found 1t impossible 10 obtain certain information regarding some Of Hoff's activities but had made its decision on the basis of tho iuforma- ton at hand. It was announced further that the committee did not intend 10 pursue any investigation. but would be content with refusing Hoft permits for further compcti- ton.
 The Norwegian athlete has been under A. A. U. suspension since charges were made against him based on alleged exorbitant expense accounts, activities in connection with motion picture rights, and re- fusal 10 keep engagements on pIoa of condition.
 Chairman Prout issued tr, :ol lowing statement:
 The committee on foreign ?, la. lions of the amateur athletic rnion has been conducting an inNostiga- ton 10 determine the adyisafiiity oi giving further permits 10 Charles Hoh. tho Norwegian pole vaultor, for competition in this country. The committee has found it impossible 10 obtain certain information re- carding some of Hoffs activities, but on the basis Of the information in hand, the committee has voted not 10 approve further competition by Hoff in this country.
 "The committee recognizes the right of any athlete 10 refuse 10 in any meet when he feels that he is not in proper condition to do himself justice or because he feels he is in need of a rest For this reason, the action of the com mittee Is not wholly based on Hon's refusal to compete at q meet in San Francisco, in which he had agreed to participate.
 "Whcn Hoff first came 10 the United States he was advised that. since he speaks perfect English, had enjoyed the benefits of q college edu- cation and considerable business eX- perience, it was unnecessary for him 10 be represented by an interpreter attorney, agent, friend or relative: that the amateur athletic union had no authority to dictate as 10 what meets he should enter. and that he was a free agent in every way as long as he conformcd to the rules of the international amateur athletic federation and the amateur athletic union.
 Some phases Of Hoft's activities in this country have been very un- 10 the committee and have become more so in the past lew weeks. NIr Hoff is 2 guest in his country and is the outstanding lthlete Of all Norway. For these .oasons. the committee does not in- . end to pursue any investigations, ut will be cortnt with refusing ,ermits for further competition in , his country" !

REVENGE SPURRED
 ON WELTER CHAMP
Pete LatZo'S Family Pride Caused
 Him to Enter the Ring

Scranton, Pa, May 27 LRp-F'ame. gold and glory may be among the incentive that now spur on the new weltorweight boxing champion of
 the world, Pete Latzo. but family pride and revenge were the desires
 that prompted the erstwhile mine boy to develop the manly art or f1sticuffs.
 Something like seven years ago young Pete, then sixteen, decided that the Latzos had been cuffed around just about enough in the rings of Scranton and vicinity. So when the chance came to show just what he could do himself with bis fists he jumped at it and rose ran idly to prominence.
 Here's the story of these early days as Pete tells it:
 There were eight kids in our family. My father died when I was about six and most of us had to get out and hustle. got my first job as carpenter at sl a day and was fired three months later for asking for $1.50, l worked in the mines for while and did odd jobs while some of the other boys of the family tried the boxing game.
 Steve, now 32 and a policeman in Hazel'on, was the best of the fam fly when 1t came to boxing. He also was a welterweight and did pretty well, although Mickey Walk CT knocked him out in three rounds shortly before the champion took me on in 1923 and gave the family a second licking. Mike and Joe also took to the ring but they didn't get far.
 Tn fact, the Latzos weren't in good rcputa as fighters about the time my first chance came-bv acci- dent. I was in a barber shop one day when the local promoter came in. They needed a boy for one Of the preliminaries and I offered to 20 in but the Iatzo name was against me. He figured I'd be knocked kicking as my brothers had been. So he suggested l change my name to Young Clancy for the occasion. accepted and knocked out my op- ponent, Red Ferguson, in three rounds.
 That gave me q boost and I de- termined to stick to the fighting game to prove that a Latzo could reach the top. Then when Walker knocked out Steve and beat me pretty badly I had a burning am- bition 10 even the score for the fam- lys sake as well as my own.
 q set about studying Walker. his style and everything about him, de- ermined 10 be prepared to beat him he next chance I had. It took me hree years 10 accomplish that end put l attribute the fact that I did it solely to my careful preparation md study Of plan of battle cal 2ulated to defeat Mickey"
