Must Not Be Per.
mitted to Decline in Compar-
ison to Other Industries,
General Pershing Says
Farmers Were Not Given
Square Deal After War

Chicago, Dec. 7.-(AP)-The up.
building and maintenance of
healthy farming Industry is a vita
element in the problem of national
defense, General John j. Pershina
said in an address prepared for de-
livery before the American Farm
Bureau Federation today.
with unquestioned loyalty ant
self sacrificing patriotism, oul
farmers responded during the Worlt
war;" he declared. without dwell
ing upon the timely services oul
arms furnished to the allied cause
consider also the material aid thai
went to our associates and to oul
own forces. sss IS s. =
"What would have been the out
come without the unfailing stream
of supplies that flowed from tn,
American farms? The gifts Of The
farmer to the nation, although moi
SO. spectacular nor so loudly ac'
claimed as those of some others
formed the very foundation on which
rested all our achievements"
Price Level Must Be Raised
Doom for the small farmers was
predicted by General PershiLg, un.
less the level Of prices on the basic
products is raised sufficiently to
meet production costs and give q
margin of profit that will enable
him to hold his land and provide
constant improvement. He ass ted
that the present situation in Amer.
ican agriculture was in a large
measure due to past inadequate ma
tional policies, especially in this
postwar period.
During the war we insisted that
the American farmers should ex-
pand their efforts to the Utmost to
feed our armies in the field and the
armies and the civilian populations
Of the allies as WE'LL" he said. "Bht
when the war was ended we failed
to consider that there was q certain
responsibility upon US as q nation
to aid the farmer to escape from
the disastrous after effects Of ex-
cessive production and competition.
'The direct results Of the lack of
timely consideration Of the situation
is seen in the ab: 1doned farms and
the heavy load Of debt under which
agriculture is laboring. The lands
are passing into the hands Of non-
resident owners. The soil is deter
iorating, improvements are halted
and capital investment is being con-
sumed."
National Policy Needed
General Pershing decared agricul-
ture must not be permitted to de-
cline in comparison to other indus
tries and that it is imperative to in
augltrate . national policy to elm
mate competition among farmers.
It was his opinion that America
could and would develop such + pro-
gram.
Forlnin.. part Of such . pro-
gram should be conservation Of tim
ber resources, solution Of flood
development Of waterways,
shipping and world markets, he said.
Success Of the last. he added, de-.
pended on the upbuilding Of an am
pie, modern merchant marine under
the American flag. The general
llso advocated naval protection:
without naval protection" he
said. "our shipping might again dis
appear from the seas, il We may.
Judge the future BY what has hap
pened TO use more than once II the
past"

2 DOG TEAMS
WIN IN RACE
WITH DEATH
Carry Doctor Across 100 Miles,
of Treacherous Country to
Save Boys Life

Mccall, Idaho, Dec. 7.@R--
Showing endurance seldom neces-
sary in races for which they were
trained, two dog teams have forced
their way across 100 miles of
treacherous mountain country to
save the life Of youth.
The race started Sunday when
word reached here that Emmett
Rouston, 20, had been stricken with
| influenza and hcmorrhages in a
cabin tn the isolated Werdenhoff
mining camp in western Idaho.
Roy Slower, expert musher, vol
unteered to take DIR. Don Numbers
and John Rouston, father Of the
youth, to the cabin. Slower was
given his pick of the best racing
dogs here. He selected six huskies
and started the battle through IS
miles Of new snow in the Thunder
Mountain country.
One Team Exhausted
With their feet badly cut and
with cold adding to their suffering,
the dogs continued to break the
trail to Warren, where they arrived
late Monday. exhausted. The husk-
les were left with another musher
and q new team was recruited.
The party negotiated the last 25
miles, over extremely rough coun-
try, in II hours. An 1l,OOO-foot
summit was one of the hazards. The
men, equipped with snow shoes,
helped the dogs up steep grades,
resting only when they could ride
the sled down slopes.
DR.. Numbers found the youth too
i'll to move, but reported over long
distance telephone that he probably
would recover.

20 BELOW ZERO

HERE TONIGHT
Mercury Falls Rapidly, Drop

M. to Is Below at Noon
BLIZZARD IN MINNESOTA
Traffic at Standstill-Schoois

ply Threatened

It will be 20 or more degrees be-
low zero in Bismarck tonight.
That was the prediction from
the United States weather bureau
station here today as tho mercury
fell from IL below at Z q. m. to 18
below at noon with every prospect
that it would sink to a new low
mark Of the winter.
The sun, whose rays frightened
the dismal weather outlook but
failed to warm it, beamed down on
the Missouri Slope today, disclosing
roads closed to traffic by drifts
from two to eight feet high in many
places.
Train From East Late
Nearly all trains were reported
on time out of Bismarck today ex-
cept the North Coast Limited from
the east, which was two hours late
at noon due to the severe cold and
blizzards in Minnesota.
Much yard feeding Of livestock
was reported throughout North
Dakota during the past week due
to the unprecedented snowfall. Corn
husking was nearly completed in
the eastern portion of the state
with considerable remaining to be
done in the west and south Sec
tions.
Bismarck's we'll nigh deserted
streets today testified to cold that
forced pedestrians to firesidss and
motor cars to garages while some
ffw hardy automobilists who braved
the frigid avenues found that few
minutes was sufficient to freeze
radiators and cause the sluggish
flow Of oil.
Slight Relief in Sight
Not quite so cold Thursday is
the prediction of o. w. Roberts,
federal meteorologist here, who
stated that extreme low tempera-
lures for a distance Of 1000 miles
in every direction from Bismarck
held slight promise Of warmer
weather within the next "a hours.
Minot, Williston, Havre, Mont,
Hibbing, Minn., and Lander, Wyo.,
reported the coolest temperatures
during Tuesday night. Minot and
Williston registered minus 20 de-
grees, Hibbing 20. Lander -22
while Havre broke all records for
the United States this winter with
q maximum low of 80.
Temperatures ranging from 80 to
20 degrees below zero were reported
from many points in the Canadian
northwest with Edmonton, Alta, of
ficially registering -36 for the cold
est north point while Denver, Colo,
with 10 was the coldest southern
point.
Fargo, Jamestown, Grand Forks,
Valley City, Devils Lake, Mandan
and many other North Dakota
points all reported mercury read
ings below the 10 mark.
Some progress was being made
TODAY in opening up the roads for
traffic but q wind from the north
west that sprung up shortly after
8 .. m. today forced many Of the
road crews to shelter and undid all
Of the clearing work that had been
accomplished.

BUSINESS ON

Secretary Mellon said today in hi.
annual report 70 Congress.
Under the heading Of ''the presen1
situation Of business" the treasury
secretary asserted that business ac
tivity began in the spring month,
of this year to fall below
the totals of last year. As I
result Of this cession, h.
said, business is "now being con:
Quoted on q basis that conforms more
nearly to the normal expectancy Al
judged from the regular rate o.
growth of the country thai has pre-
vailed on the average for some
years."
'While business is not as active
as in most of 1926, it can hardly be
said to be subnornal and the und>r.
lying fundamentals appear to bs
sound" he added. "Another indi.
cation of healthy business conditions
is the recent recovery in commodity
prices due in the main to the rise ir
agricultural prices.
Credit conditions were described as
sound, as indicated by the handling
of th~ peak load Of crop financing

ny THE COUNSELLOR.

John Thornton died. leaving will
in which he left all of his real estate
to his grandson, Tom Collins. and all
of his personal property to his grand
daughter, Clara Collins.
This will was simple in its terms
but complications regarding it arose
when it was discovered that month
before his death Thornton had signed
a contract to sell one of his properties
for $4,000.
Roth grandchildren claimed this
fund. Tom Collins insisted that as
he was the beneficiary of all the real
estate. the property was his, and con-
sequently the money due from its sale
belonged to him.
Clara Collins contended thet as she
was the beneficiary of the personal
property she was entitled to the pur-
chase money due from the purchaser
AS the money was the only interest
that Thornton had in the property,
and money. being personal property,
it belonged to her.
The conflicting contentious were
aired in lawsuit brought to settle
the matter.
The court declared Clara Collins the
rightful claimant of the fund, on the
principle of reputable conversion, 4"
stating:
"The principle of equitable CON
version is founded on the maxim shat
equity regards that as already done
which ought to he done Money
directed to he employed in the pur-
chase of land. and land directed to
be sold and turned into money are
considered as that species of property

comes TO choosing a wedding gown.
Besides, the wedding gown needs very
little in the way of trimming or fur
ther establishment. If it is made at
home there is really very little ex-
penditure to consider besides the
velvet.
The velvet wedding gown shown in
the sketch. which has been designed
for a prominent midwnter bride, is

velvet wedding frocks trimmed with
fine creamy lace, very lovely. to be

Almost always now we follow the
French rule of long sleeves for the
wedding gown-long sleeves that
extend well over the wrists and that
make gloves unnecessary. There is
usually a fairly high. simple neck line,
but considerable latitude concerning
the skirt in length.
Quite number of notable brides,
among them several French girls of
prominent family and important social
position, have worn very long skirts.
Among religious French families the
fact that the Pope has expressed him
self on the subject of skirt lengths
may have had something to do with it.
