tions that seldom arcs known To- the
public, he added.
Are Good Business Men
"Thc Federal Land bank of st.
Paul claims the almost exclusive
privilege Of an insight into one phase
Of agriculture that is exposed to no
other view," he asserted. "That par
ticular phase embraces group Of
farm owners who qualify as good
businessmen by reason Of the fact
that they are able to deal with the
land bank and the credit bank and
become stockholders in the land

The Northwest as the most impor-
tant economic section of the country
was stressed by Mr.. jennings, who
coupled this assertion with state
ment of necessary factors in a COM
munity's progress. He also pointed
out the relation between production
and progress.
"A community that is producing
what another community needs and
demands is progressive. That is an
economic axiom. A community that
does not produce what another COM
munity needs and demands is an I'M
possibility. 1t could not, as a matter
of fact, exist. Therefore, we are safe
in saying that productivity and prog
ress should be synonymous.
"If there are degrees of product

! must be degrees of progress. In
such cases the Northwest is singular
~ fortunate. Much or even most "
the progress which we note in the
upper Mississippi valley is due to its

ness Believed Reason for
His Retirement.

Edwin c. Graham, president of the
Board of Education, has submitted his
resignation as a member of that body,
to take effect at the pleasure of the
justices of the District Supreme Court
The court has not yet announced
acceptance of the resignation, which
was placed in the hands of the judi.
cial appointing authorities several
weeks ago.
Pressure of personal business was
given by Mr.. Graham as his reason
for desiring to withdraw from the
school board. His recent election as
president of the Washington Board of
Trade also is understood to have con.
vinced Mr.. Graham of his, inability to
devote proper time to the educational
duties assigned him.
Mr.. Graham was appointed to the
Board of Education more than two
years ago and was reappointed for a
second term.
