StrOngheart, the Pup
MY DOUBLE By George K, Hallam

VI OoSDLh
 By George K. Hallam Of all the souls of light That love the pure and good
 ] am, without
 A shade of doubt.
 The most misunderstood. My spirit weeps to write The cause of all my trouble;
 In some gay spark
 Whose ways are dark I have a dreadful double! Some foolish friends will talk And hint they've seen me daily
 Behind the scenes
 With chorus queens , And ladies of the ballet. In vain do I declare
 That when they saw me ply
 My heather cleek
 On Sunday week Quite safe at church was l. Since all the worlds so sure
 About the things l do
 That even l
 Can scarce deny
 That what they say is true, My brain grows insecure,
 My reeling reason totters, And l in time Shall think that I'm Indeed the prince of rotters. And. as from day to day, The scandal grows more black Until it's vain To try to gain My reputation back. Instead of turning grey With all this toll and trouble, Why should l not Amend my lot And really be my double? | Particular! Arthur: "Do you like to pla Post oaice?'" Christine; That depends upo l th. kind of male I receive" -Emlua Frances Blumeutldl

prices turned upward early this aft

reularity. Short covering played an
important part in the buying move

Credit conditions were unchanged

Financial Condition Good
Regarding the general financial
conditions in North Dakota, C. r.
Green, manager Of the Bank Of
North Dakota, says:
Demand for farm loans is about
equal to that Of last year. Interest
on farm loans is being paid better
this year. Borrowings by banks are
less. Cash reserve held by banks is
stronger, indicating q little more
money in farmers hands and more
unsold grain in the elevators than
last year."
Two thousand of the leading farm
ers Of the state during the last month
have attended meetings which have
been held to develop programs Of
improved farming practices. The
farmers themselves have worked out
these programs with the cooperation
Of extension division workers from
the North Dakota agricultural col.
lege. 1t is significant that, in the
seven areas where meetings were
held, the farmers were unanimous in
deciding that wheat acreage should
remain at the present figure or
should be decreased somewhat, feed
crops should be increased, some
phases of livestock production should
be increased, and that all should
concentrate on improved quality Of
livestock and crop production.

president Of France, who is counsel
for the former American secretary
Of state, said he intended to appeal
as soon as he had opportunity to
consult with his client.
The court, in deciding that it was
without jurisdiction in the plea Of
Mr.. Colby for a divorce from the
former Nathalie Sedwick Of Stock
bridge, Mass, said he had apparent
" not given up his home in the
United States, although he had been
living in France for eleven months.
In selecting prominent case to
render such q decision, the French
court was regarded in some legal
circles to have sounded the death
knell of easy divorce. The long
campaign against foreigners using
French courts to sever domestic
ties, lawyers said, had borne its first
fruits.
The Colby case was the second
biggest American divorce in the
French courts in recent years, the
most noted being the Frank T.

eral years ago. Former Premier
Rene Viviani appeared in this case.

At the head Of his troops, General

as senator of his own country. The
citizens Of Venice, grateful to their
prcserver, presented to him a golden
sword.
In the fall of 1921, General Diaz
visited the United States, remaining
here two months. He attended the
American Legion convention in Kan

Paid Many Honors
Upon his arrival in New York he
was given the freedom Of the city
