August Business Shows Big Gain

Business history was written in August in the ninth
federal reserve bank district, Of which North Dakota Is q
part. It was written in figures and dollar marks.
It is estimated. for instance. that cash income from
grain marketed in the reserve district during the month
increased to more than $50 0O0. 0O0, which Is nearly three
times the total in August, 1928.
In Minneapolis, the daily average Of business increased
A. per cent over the same month Of 1913. according to the
federal reserve bank there.
Early movement Of grain under the stimulus Of higher
prices formed the combination that caused this general
uptrend in casl, income and volume OF business.
Probably a better indication, according to the bank, Of
the district increase In general business volume in August.
as compared with the same month last year. is given by
the debts to individual accounts at the smaller cities in
the district. Eight wheat belt cities reported an increase
Of s per cent In business volume ana four mixed farming
cities reported All increase Of II per cent. The country
check clearings index was I per cent larger In August this
year than In the same month . year ago.

The Great Lakes Peril

Compared with the oceans, the Great Lakes are puny
bodies of water. Yet lake sailors will tell you that these
inland seas can kick up terrifying storms, on occasion;
and the recent loss of the steel freightcr Andaste is
abundant proof OF the statement.
The Andastc. a vessel OF some 1000 tons, was on a
short voyage,-just across Lake Michigan. Yet the storm
that struck her was so violent that she went down with
all hands, carrying her crew Of % to the bottom while
within a score Of miles of land.
The hazards that formerly attended lake sailing have
been pretty we'll eliminated: yet the lakes still take their
toll occasionally. The lake captain knows that it is
never safe to relax his vigilance. Lake Michigan can be
quite as dangerous as the Atlantic ocean.

The German Revival

Germans still have faith in der Tag" Lost in tho

Of revolving tunnels, they glide through the air in motor
less planes, and when they do not achieve some inventive
marvel. they come so close to 1t as to merit the belief
that they are on the way to solving the secret of ultimate
accomplishment
There is no miracle about Germanys recovery from tho
prostration Of Versailles. Germans always have worked
hard and for perfection, and when these habits were freed
from their absorption In militarism. tho entire nation
harnessed them to the achievement Of supremacy In
peace and industry. Some psychologists would trace this
will to conquer to implantaton in the time Of Charlie
magne. When he seized the remnants Of the Holy Ro-
man Empire and claimed it as his heritage, he imbedded
in the German psyche. say these psychologists, this su-
premacy compleX-thc kultur Of modern Germany.
Astrologers have a formula which has been phrased in
the terms that "onc not a friend will bring you to the
door OF success" That has been actually what has hap
pened in the case Of Germany. When the Allies humil-
lated the reich and disarmcd 1t, they not only satisfied
their feelings for war vengeance, they brought Germany
to the door Of opportunity.

Building Sites for Song

Home builders and investors are awaking to the fact
that some desirable property can be acquired III Bismarck
by buying up lots taken over BY the county for delinquent
taxes.
Hardly a session OF the city commission passes without
ono or moro bids being received on parcels OF such land.
Usually the bidders offer the total OF the back taxes
with the penalties for DELINQUENCY and tho interest in
cludcd.
II the bid seems reasonable, the city commission rec
ommcnds the sale. The matter then passes to the board
Of county commissioners. II they accept the city rec
concentrations, the lots are sold to the bidders. It is
then up to these to 90 into court and clear title. which
may add another $3.50 to the deal.
The view OF tho city commissioners Is that 1t is a
profitable policy for the city to assent to these offers.
When home builders obtain the tracts, not only is the
land restored to tho assessment and tax lists. but Inn
provcmcnts that arc a benefit to the city and which
provide increased income from taxes are attained.
There is a considerable number OF speculative lots on
the delinquent tax lists, and the commissioners In exam

desirable building sites. Some of them arc In plated
