North Dakota Best,
Says E. G. Anderson
of Gibbs Township

During all Of our travel through
Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska and Mn
nesola, We did not feel anywhere
the inducement to a farmer that we
have right here in our own state
Of North Dakota"
That was the message brought
back to North Dakota farmers by
a North Dakota farmer, E. G.. An
derson Of Gibbs township, who toured
the aforementioned states after
attending the International Live
stock show in Chicago the first week
Of December.
North Dakota must still combat
the impression that it is the coolest
state Of the union," Mr.. Anderson
said. "The cold question was in
variably the first question that was
fired at us during our trip"
1--WE want to urge every North
Dakota farmer at this time to begin
laying plans to attend the interna-
tional show next year because it is
the biggest educational entertain
ment that is Off red anywhere in
the world and we feel that we de-
rived more benefit from actual at
tendance than frt M many text books
that we have read"
Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson were part
Of the party that attended the live
stock exposition with the North Da-
kota delegation.

So far as things military are con-
ccrncd, : young chap at c. M. T. C..
gets rather little. He does get a
knowledge that might be called
ciyics. He has, when he returns
some conception of the service as it
might be. He is not entirely ignor-
ant Of what his army is. He can
get an intelligent grasp of the rca-
sonablc plan o. national defense set
up by the defense act Of 1920.
First, he will. know the army as it
is. The army, Ike many other things,
meets the prejudice of those not ac-
quaintcd with it. Such prejudiccs
evaporate on actual contact with the
regular service. That parent who
wishes his son to have no contact
with the service is either unin-
formed concerning the army, or
doubtful of the stuff Of which that
boy is made.
Regulars Praised
To the rcgLlarS-the men of
brains, skill and hardihood! They
take your paltry pay and stay put
for the love Of the service--for the
glamour and associations of it. They
give their lives to it. And you starve
the service until today the pressure
is too great. You lose the best Of
ficers, quarter the men in tumble
downs and let the animals die of old
age, for lack Of appropriations.
The regulars arc The backbone of
our national defense. They main
tain the bare minimum ncce, sary in
very great emergency For ordi-
nary national emergencies, they will
spread out to infiltratc the reserve
Corps, absorb and train them. The
regular, the national guard and the
reserve, these are the .ain elements
of defense. The guard is ready, even
under difficulties. 1t is the way of
the guard. Everything come; ia
them rather econd-hand, but they
come through Ind deliver when the
time arrives. Good troops, the
guard.
Everyone TO BE Drafted
The plan as it now stands sensibly
uses the draft, not allowing enlist
ments. The men in service during
war will, therefore, be those who
should be chosen to go from the
viewpoint of the country's good. To
the regular and reserve forces will
fall the task of making soldiers out
Of the drafts. That is no small
task.
Then the lads who have been to c.
NJ. I. c. will have some advantage
from their camps. But only IF they
are drafted, IF we have a war
Which Got forbid.

Jewish Relics Saved
In South America

Amsterdam, Dec. 10. R- Re-
mains of what is claimed to be the
oldest Jewish settlement on the
American continent are to be pre-
served by Dutch-American COM
mission of which Prof. Richard Got
theil of Columbia University and
Rabbi d. de Sofa Pool of New York
are members.
The remains are situated at Sa-
vanne on the banks of the Surinam
river in Dutch Guiana, where Portu-
guese Jews. fleeing from the Span
ish Inquisition, made a settlement
and built synagogue in 1855.
Descendants of the original Por-
tuguese Jews who found safe
home in Holland and its colonies
still form an exclusive community
here, and have largely contributed
to Dutch literature and art. Funds
are now being collected by them
to restore the historic settlement
of their race in Hollands western
colony in South America.

In movement to reduce the ac- cident toll in the northwestern sec- tion of the city. Alderman Frank Iapatka of the fifth ward will ap- pear before the police board tonight and urge that safety campaign be opened with the installation of sig nal lights at several of the more inn portant intersections.
 The points to be urged are Wash lngton and Broad streets. High and Broad streets and Grove and Broad streets. He will also ask that one way traffic at the intersection of Broad. Clinton. Burritt and Smith streets. be experimented with and if found practicable made permanent.
 Speaking of his plan, Alderman , Zapatka today called attention to the fact that the greatest number of automobile accidents involving chil- dren are reported from the section of the city he represents. Construc- tion of the new Broad street pave ment has had tendency to invite speeding, he pointed out. and he is anxious to prevent the accident list from growing. This can be accom- plished to a great etXent, he be- lieves, if the signal lights and traf- fic changes recommended are adopted,

 COMPLAINS TO MAYOR
Unsigned Letter Tells of Grievance Against Fire Board En-
 plOyment.

Complaint was made to Mayor Weld today that favoritism is being shown in the allotment of work for substitute tiremen and that some are given almost continuous employ ment, while others have not been allowed sufficient work to pay for the medical examination necessary for appointment.
 The complainant mailed his grie- vance to the mayor in an unsigned letter. He represented himself as an ex-serviceman who has not yet been given an hours work. Although sober and industrious he has not had a chance to show his ability, he declared. and he charged that other substitutes who are not am- bilious enough to secure regular en- ployment are able to live by reason of temporary jobs afforded them in the fire department.
 The assistance of the mayor in es- tablishing a more equitable distri- button of this part time employment was sought by the aggrieved fire man.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.

Special Dlspatch 10 Inc star.
NEW YORK, August 6.-The stock
market started in today with a sub
stantial recovery from the low prices
reached in the violent liquidation late
in Yesterdays session. All groups
shared in the improvement more or
less. The trend was reversed in the
second hour, however. and selling
gained the upper hand.
In general the market was more
orderly. with an absence of forced
liquidation and with restraint on the
bidding up process which. had been
so popular earlier in the week.
Utilities Are FavOrites.
As far as the investment interest
was concerned, the public utilities were
the favorites. This class had been
exceptionally strong on Friday and
held all through the storm during the
last hour Prices were advanced
again today in such typical stocks as
Brooklyn Union Gas. Brooklyn Edison
and Consolidated Gas. Brooklyn Union
Gas made n new high for all time,
while Brooklyn Edison at 179 dupli-
icated its previous record high. The
last named sold today on approx
,mately a Az per cent basis, illustrat'
ing the confidence investors have IN
the electric light and power industry.
The steel shares came in for a good
deal of attention. Independents were
the leaders in the early advance.
notably Republic Iron and Steel and
Bethlehem. Crucible did not do quite
so we'll and United States Steel itself
moved irregularly. first up point or
two and then down again.
General Motors was under pressure
10 greater or less extent nearly all
the session. Offerings were heavy and
the market was unable to absorb them
without price concessions. Chrysler
was fairly firm, but Nash, Hudson and
Studebaker all went lower. Thinker
Roller Bearing went through its
usual rapid fluctuations. rejecting the
technical condition of the stock only.
Some Rails Sold.
IN the railroad group the high
grade dividend payers held for
while, but later on gave way. OF the
lower priced stocks Missouri Pacific
was heavily sold. This road suffered
more than most of the rest of the
Mississippi Valley and made poor
June report. Wabash and Missouri
kansas-Texas sagged also.
There was no renewal of the short
covering in the oils. which had figured
so prominently in the markets of
Thursday and Friday. Undoubtedly
good many of the more timid specu-
lators for the decline had been elm
mated and there was little in the
trade news to justify new buying. 1t
will be some time before the curtail-
ment program. even if it is carried
into effect as planned, has any effect
on prices. Still there was no weak
sss in the oils.
The market turned dull in the last
half hour There was a feeble rally
in a few stocks, among them General
Motors, but little interest was taken
sn the proceedings. Net changes on
the day were mixed.
