how family welfare societies could

Of relief He stated that a COM
parison OF the statistics of 90 fam
lily agencies, public and private. in
dicated an increase OF nearly 200
per cent in expenditures for ma
terial relief in the last ten years.
Even when allowance is made for
the increased cost OF living, the cost
of supporting a family Is one and
a half times what it was ten years
ago. and the demand unon the
charitable agencies for support is
growing even more rapidly than
what they spend on relief
I'm discussing the changes In
method that must follow the in
creased cost OF material relief. Mr..
Lynde recommended a concentra-
ton Of resources upon smaller
number OF families.
Generally speaking. the speaker
insisted. there should be no diminu-
ton in the personal service rendered
apart from material relief and the
cases served should be arrested in
number so as to secure the maxi

1T also happens that agriculture is
the basic industry of the world,
therefore it is very important that
agriculture should succeed" con-
tinues Governor Sorlie's statement.
Regardless of its Importance agri-
culture has been the last of the in
dustries to avail itself of scientific
methods Of production and distribu
ton. Fortunately we in North
Dakota are in a position to do a great
deal towards the marketing of our
products. We posses some scien-
tific avenues through which we can
handle some Of our commodities. For
instance, we have state owned lab
oratory in. which our wheat can be
analysed. and milled to demonstrate
the superiority of our hard spring
wheat for bread purposes.
II look for 1927 to be q wonder
fully successful year for the market
ing of all our manufactured articles
in North Dakota. The people of this
state are in a frame Of mind where
they will be able to market their COM
modities to much better advantage
than ever before, and we are in high
hopes Of putting agriculture on a
basis where it will pay the cost of
production. We also feel assured
that the other industries have come
to realize that they arc dependent to
a great extent upon agriculture and
that by lending helping hand to
agriculture they will be helping them
selves in the way of creating a great
err demand and a bigger market for
their own commodities"

This was brought out when E. r.

Gales concerning his organization and
it's purposes. Gales explained that
the Anti-Saloon League is composed
of persons interested in prohibition
and is backed by the churches of the
state, and that its purpose is to pro-
mote temperance and aid in the en-
forccment of the prohibition law.
Gales said he hopes that education

legislators said violation Of the pro-

in a change H. this situation.
II was the first time that an Anti
