Money and True Love

In most Of cur romantic novels, and many OF the
other kind, money almost invariably is represented
as the chief thing needfu to make the course OF true
love smooth.
Gold furnishes the plot for many stories The
struggles of Herbert Leon or Ernest to lay away
enough money SO that he marry Gertrude or
Emma or Allene-that is the crux Of many ro-
mantle tale.
Accordingly, it rather out OF order to
suggest that the poor mans son often wed the
girl Of his choice much more easily than can the
rich mans son. But 50 it is.
Consider the case of young Michael Cudahy,
1s-year-old sen Of the fabulously wealthy packing
house family.
Cudahy was enamored of movie actress. The
two started out elope. But the elopement ran on
the rocks and they are still-perhaps permanently
unmarried.
Cudahy's mother telephoned or telegraphed every
marriage license bureau in California warning them
that the son under age. So wherever he went
the license clerks gave him the cold shoulder.
Suppose he had been a poor lad; what then ::
Would several hundred dollars have been spent to
block his marriage plans? No; he would have been
able duck into the nearest courthouse unhindered
and make the young movie actress his bride with
cut hindrance.
Money helps-sometmes. But sometimes, as
young Cudahy might testify, It proves an insur-
mountable barrier. ''

Editorial Comment
North Dakota to the Front
(Minneapolis Journal)

Urging agricultural diversification upon North
Dakota is let like pointing out to a dairyman the
advantages Of producing milk and butter, tell
ing poultry farmer that there is money in mar
keting chickens and eggs.
Fer North Dakota herself long ago saw that her
agricultural salvation lay in diversfcation, and the
swing away from the one-crop system has been 60
ing on steadily since the war ended 1t has
been nearly decade nov since North Dakotans de-
pended primarily their wheat crop for their ma.
terial well being.
We are indebted to the Greater North Dakota as.
ISOLATION fer graphic statistics illustrating the
advance diversification has made in the postwar
years. OF the states 304-mion- dollar farm crop
in 1926, wheat accounted for only 80 millions Since
1919, the alfalfa acreage has nearly trebled, while
sweet clover acreage has increased twenty-fold
Alfalfa and sweet clover are transmutable into
beef and milk and butter and cheese. Since 1921
the value Of North Dakotas dairy products has
risen fifty per cent, with each year showing steady
gain. The income from hogs has tripled, the reve
nue. from beef is a third higher, the mutton anc
wool income has quadrupled, and the poultry ani
egg income has more than doubled. There are
third more creameries than in 1921, and nearly
twice many cream stations.
The Greater North Dakota association is con
servative, we believe, in forecastng for the stat,
an annual aggregate of billion dollars in agricul
tural revenue within the next decade.
Nor is North Dakcta's future prosperity solel.
dependent upon the looking up of agriculture. Will,
eastern states have been talking of the possibilit,
OF transforming coal into power at the mine mouth
our neighbor to the west has gone to work and dom
that very thing. Two large plants were built in tn
heart of the Ignite fields in 1926, producing cleo
trical power that is carried to more than third o
North Dakota. s-
And here is state whose great resources hav
as yet been scarcely scratched!

The Sting of a Strike

The sting of strike carries far. Besides its To-
cal effects, strikes influence often is felt in quar-
tiers remote from its source. An instance:-
The maximum cost during the fall Of 1926 of NOV
ing bushel Of wheat from New York to Liverpool
"a cents. In former years the rates during the
August November periods were much lower. The
reason?
The British coal strike was the reason. There
was great demand for tonnage to move coal
into Great Britain. Thus, the action of the miners
of the United Kingdom resulted in higher cost for
wheat, and higher wheat means higher bread. 4.
As consequence Of the falling off in shipments
during that period stocks of wheat piled up in
warehouses in exporting countries, according to the
food research institute of Stanford University I'm
porters, looking ahead toward lower freight rates
bought sparingly. Western Europe drew more
wheat from southeastern Europe than it ordinarily
would
But result Of this situation, farmers in
America profited. The United States marketed
early in the summer when prices were fairly sound
The winter wheat crop, which is harvested early,
was abundant
decline in wheat prices is always the result OF
. surplus. But prices here are fairly secure be-
cause large portion of our export surplus was
moved before Dec. l.
These are few of the reasons why men, sitting
around ticker, begin to get busy as soon as there

Interstate Power

The growing insistcncc that the federal govern
ment enact rules that would regulate interstate
transmission of power must have suffered per-
ceptsbe setback in the published opinion of Sec
rotary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, who is against
such action. 1t is the secretary's stand and very
properly taken. that such regulation is and should
remain the privilege and duty Of the individual
states, using their power Of interstate compacts
1t is method of regulation of many affairs that
5as been rather neglected, yet it is far superior in
effect than is the federal control with its rapidly
growing sphere of influence. One cannot well see
when the federal hand shall cease to- spread it's
