OO0,OCO Land Movement
During 1923, Greater North
Dakota Association Says
Movement Is State Wide.

More than $4,000, 900 worth Of
North Dakota farm lands were pur-
chased during the past four months
and the present trend indicates to-
tai purchases exceeding $40, ,O0O, 900
during 1928, the Greater North Da-
kota association declares in . state
ment issued today. The association,
in issuing its report on . survey OF
land purchases since the first Of the
year, finds that more than $50, 900
acres have been purchased and ex-
poets between 1,400, 900 and 1,600,-
900 acres will be purchased during
the current year. Such ! volume
of purchases, it is pointed out, will
stabilize land values in North Da-
kOta.
The association made two surveys
during 1927 and on these estimated
that between 100000 and 100000
acres were purchased last year. II
finds, as = result Of the survey just
made, that the volume Of 1927 pur-
chases is being doubled during 1923,
with the indication that the total
acres involved in purchases during
the two years. 1927 and 1898, viii
probably exceed 1000, 900 acres.
This is about seven per cent Of the
land in North Dakota farms.

The average price per acre for

DEMOCRAT RACE
IN CALIFORNIA Is
now UNCERTAIN
Today's Primary Result May
Be in Doubt Until Last
Votes Are Counted

San Francisco, May 1.-@-IWith
fair weather forecast as an fid to
turning out a heavy vote, Ctlifor-
mans today cast their baNots in
the presidential primary for three
Democratic candidates, a Republi-
can and a prohibitionist.
The three-sided Democratic con-
test was between Governor Alfred
f. Smith of New York; Senator
James A. Reed of Missouri and Sen
ator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana.
To the victor, political forecasters
declared, may 60 the nomination at
Houston in June.
The Democratic race is so uncer-
tain that it possibly, but not prob
ably, may result in the election of q
split ticket. Thirty delegates will
be elected, eight being delegates at
large and having only half vote
each. It is possible for the last
delegate on one candidates ticket
to receive more votes than the high
candidate on an opposition ticket.
Observers said there was . bare
possibility Of the three Democrats
dividing the 26 votes.
Herbert Hoover, . favorite son,
was unopposed in his bid for the ~
Republican delegates to the Kansas
City convention.
That the result Of the Democratic
contest will be in doubt until the
last ballots are counted was the
opinion expressed by most observ-
ara

Wheat Acreage This Year Will
Be About the Same as Last
Year, According to Survey
Made by P. w. Clemens
More Durum, Less Hard
Spring.

No great shift will be made in
the acreage Of wheat in North Da-
kota this year, according to a sur
vey made by P. w. Clemens, presi-
dent Of the Northern and Dakota
rust company of Fargo, in connec-
tion with his monthly review of
business conditions in the state. The
review follows:
BY r. w. Clemens
Seeding Of ten million acres OF
wheat is being completed by the
farmers Of North Dakota at the
present time and the prospects are
that by May 10 practically all OF
the spring and durum wheat will be
in the ground, together with the
bulk of the oats and barley, accord
ing to information contained in
kilograms received from every Sec
tion of the state yesterday.
Information is that no great
shifts will be made in wheat acre
ages, the changes reported ranging
from 10 per cent decrease to 20 pei
cent increase over the 1927 total
which was slightly less than eleven
million acres. Many farmers are
showing = preference for durum
over hard spring wheat. however

MORRIS COHEN
QUITS CANTON
Destination Of TwO.Gun Man
DR.. Suns Bodyguard, Is
Unknown

Canton. May 1.-(AP)-Morris
Cohen, two-gun man from Canada
who served the late DR.. Sun Vat
Sen as bodyguard for the last three
years of the revolutionary leaders
life, has left Canton for an unnamed
destination. OF the polygot coterie
of foreigners who assembled about
DR.. Suns person in Canton - Red
Russians, Americans, Germans-this
burly, free handed Jewish adven-
turer is believed to have been the
last Of any prominence remaining
in China.
He turned up here six years ago
with letter of recommendation
from revolutionary Chinese in Ed
monton, Canada, whence he hailed.
After he had given one display Of
his prize feat Of craftsmanship =
throwing two coins in tie air stimuli
taneously, drawing two pistols and
hitting both coins in mid-air-the
job Of bodyguard and chauffeur to
DR.. Sun was his.
When the Kuomintag leader died
in 1925 his will stipulated that CO.
hen should have q life job in the
Canton governments central bank.
This he held, acting also as rnessen-
ger and purchasing agent for Canton
officials, until he became involved
in the Red uprising Of last Decem-
Der. The upshot was his purchase
Of q one-way ticket from the scene
Of this six-year phase Of his adven-
turer's career.

WHEAT SEEDING IS NEARLY COMPLETED:
MOISTURE CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE

and the likelihood is that the crop
will be almost evenly divided be-
tween these two types Of wheat.
Sowing Finished Earlier
More than average soil moisture
is found in the western part of the
state and slightly below normal in
the east, condition ideal for both
areas. Another favorable factor is
that the sowing Of wheat has been
completed earlier than usual over
very large area. and few reports
have been received Of the season
being later than normal.
Cities report unusual activity in
the building line and the program
planned for this year will exceed
the million dollar mark in several
Of the larger cities, while many Of
the smaller towns will have from
$780, to 100000 of new construc-
tion by fall.
Retail trade was rather spotted
during April, the volume being from
20 per cent below to 80 per cent
above that of the same period a
year ago. Automobile sales for the
first quarter Of the year were far
below the same period in 1927 and
much less than half Of the total for
1926. This is an encouraging sign
to those who express the opinion
that too much Of total earnings is
being spent for automobiles. North
Dakota has a state tax of two cents
per gallon on gasoline but exemp-
tions are made for fuel for farm
power. The total revenue received
by the state last year from this
source was $1,275, ,565, indicating .
