The Corncrib Law.
(St. Paul Dispatch)


group of North Dakota farmers, composed Of
members Of both the Farm Bureau and the Farm
ers' Union, are in support Of proposal to the
state Legislature to enact law to permit the in
spection and bonding of grain in storage farms,
SO that the farmers could use the storage tickets
certified by the state basis for loans. The pur-
pose would be to keep the grain off the market at
the usual seasonable rush PERIOD and provide or
derby marketing.
The same proposal has been before enc legisla-
tufe in that state, but technical difficulties includ
ing the cost of insurance and proper rodent-proof
granaries, held back action. Before North Dakota
proceeds on the proposed measure, investigation
should be had of the results of the Iowa "corncrib
law" which was to do for corn in the crib what
the North Dakota farmers would do for grain in
the bin. II Iowa corn growers have benefited at
all by the law, it has not been apparent in reports
from that state. The storage Of grain, whether in
the farmers bin or in the public warehouse, means
an addition to its cost against which there is no
provision in the form Of assurance Of rise in
price subsequent to storage. If storage of grain
would assure better price, there would be no need
to enact law to provide for state certificaton to
permit loans the grain It is the uncertainty of
future price, such as the drop Of cents in one day
last week in the price of wheat, that makes the
farmer rush his grain to market and refuse to in
vest in granaries.

Tins and Philosophy

Mattresses according to the public confessions OF
one If them, have very involved philosophy OF
NE and of living and ivers The philosophy Tor
the most part concerns the gentle art Of tipping
In their estimation acc. ding to the confession OF
one of them, those people who stick nickel or
dime under their plate because it's expected OF
them,", are almost negligible
And the ones who meticuously add 10 per cent
of their bill are almost as bad.
The stiff who doesn't tip at all is total loss
and will find himself with cold soup and no butter
or water when he comes the next time.
The only human being worth an order Of "ham
and" is the joval individual who throws down
quarter or half dollar because he enjoyed his meal
and appreciated his service
Somehow the confessing waitress confuses wish
with deed. 1t does not seem to occur to her that
scores of us who slip dime under the plate, or,
perhaps slip nothing at all, not stngy and are
not devoid of appreciation.
It does not occur to her that the men, who, with
agesture slip half dollars down on the counter
are not nearly so brave the ones who slip less
or nothing.
She does not seem to recognize at all the plain
misery Of the non-tppers who own that title sim
ply because the family budget will not permit it.
Tipping is luxury that many people cannot at
ford when the grocery bill is big and the baby needs
shoes.

Our Canada Trade

Year by year the Importance Of trade with
Canada becomes more apparent as we see the de-
velopment of dominion markets for both raw and
manufactured products. The latest Canadian state
fneht for the twelve months ending Sept. &c. issued
by the government at Ottawa, graphically shows
to what extent this trade has grown. The report
shows for instance that during that period Canada
bought from the United States goods to the value
Ct 1861, 81, 113, which is equal to about SOS per
read Of the population of the dominion
The total value of the imports from the United
States the figures show, is increase of 0076,
1928 over the previous year, while Canadian pur-
chases from the United States were $3.50 Csc more
than from the British Isles.
Naturally the trade was not all one-sided. We
also bought goods from Canada to the tune of $685.,
the United States of $1S4y080,42s.
Thus, as we deal with these huge sums involved,
we begin to to what extent we are commercially
interdependent upon one another and we begin to
realize that this vast sum really Only represents the
beginning. There is a great development to come.
In ideas, customs ideals and thoughts the United
States and Canada have perhaps, more in COM
mon than any other two nations, for Canada is q
nation in itself It was curious mixture Of
been produced, we find that Canada is more and
more conforming to our own pattern with the re-
suit that the nations becoming very close.
In this development our mutual commercial in
terests have had great part and they are destined
to have still greater part in the still notable
future.

Times Modern Wings

The year 1926 has and gone with columns
and yards and miles Of copy being ground out on
the mills of thousand newspapers, debating the
great events Of the year that is past, and peering
into the crystal for the gifts of 1927.
From reading the newspapers of 100 cities, al
most that many different ideas can be obtained Of
what the greatest event Of 1926 constituted.
The opinions of the greatest event Of 1926 range
all the way from the general prosperity of the coun
try to the improved situation of the American work
man-even to the swimming of the English channel
by women.
In any account of the events of the last year the
humiliation Of time by modern improvements-the
airplane and radio-must take prominent place.
Aviation has its way to sound position in the
minds Of the people. network of air mail routes
reaches over the whole country, and 1927 is bring
ing extensions and extensions. In the years
to come-and not many years ether-aviation
routes will cover the United States like telephone
lines do
The plane and motor truck have revoutonized
and Wagon at the dawn of the century, the ships
doing to the railroads now-except where the rail-
roads have seen the way and coordnated the motor
service with that Of the iron horse.
Another significant advance that the last year
has is the telephoto and radio photo. Through
these agencies pictures of events in London, Eng.
land, can be picturized and placed in the hands of
American newspaper editors few hours, instead
CT many days, after the events have occurred.

freight rates by the seaway into terms that mean

Broadway, as most Of the nation

This gives the big hotels an i'm

is, that night life will be transplantcd

Any place with SO rooms or more

may remain open all night. Already,

considerably cheaper rates.

Faith and Bob spent determinedly
cheerful evening that Sunday, while
Jim Lane sat in the kitchen, his
small, stopped figure almost con-
cealed behind pile of Sunday pa
pers from all over the state. When
he came upon some especially senti-
mental word-picture Of Cherry, he
waGed through the drift of papers
to show his find to Faith and Bob.
II don't want to read what the
papers say. DEAR" Faith told him at
last. II can't stand it. Now, please
don't be hurt she pleaded as his
mouth quivered under what he took
to be rebuke. Zone member of the
family at least ought to keep up with
what the papers say, SO that we shall
know how public sentiment lies" she
soothed him. Notified, even a little
pleased, he went back to his grisly
task.
Junior and Fay Allen, warmly
wrapped against the November cold,
sat on the porch and kept reporters
from knocking at the door. Long
enjoyed his tits with the gentlemen
Of the press in much the same way
that Jim Lane enjoyed reading of his
daughters sudden notoriety.
With shades tightly drawn, Bob
and Faith sat on the old, broken
springed davenport, hand in hand,
trying to talk Of other things than
the tragedy and Cherry's possible
fate. But again and again they came
back to it.
IF the grand jury does indict,
Bob" Faith asked suddenly, "what
will the procedure be? l know so
little about such things"
why" Bob cleared his throat and
tried to speak in a matter-of-fact
voice. then Cherry will be-be held
on charge of--of murder, and they
won't allow bail. The case will be
set for trial, by one Of the district
judges of the county court"
"Soon?" Faiths hand rose to con-
eeal the beating pulse in her throat.
II can't bear to think Of her in Jail
for months and months, awaiting
trial. 1t isn't fair, Bob! She'll wither
and die, like transplanted flower
