Whippet Steering Gear
Redesigned for Easier

A marked engineering advance

The new steering gear on the
Whippet models materially increases
the ease in steering, a feature which
has q decided appeal, especially to
women drivers. The design Of the
wheel itself makes for more comfort

Grand Forks, N. D., March l6.-The
gospel Of sugar beet raising has been
carried to more than 10000 farmers
In the land once known as the bread
basket Of the world"
Increased production Of sugar beets
has come with emphasis on their
value In cleansing weeds from soil
used for wheat. One sugar factory's
success in the Red river valley has
aroused predictions that other such
factories soon will be built. The ease
with which sugar beets can be raised
In this valley Of $4,000 square miles
already has caused hundreds Of farm
ers to al: IN wheat for bc pro-
duction.
Factories lend further incentive by
guaranteeing to farmers Z definite
price and share In profits II there
Is q market advance.
Just as the boil weevil brought di-
versified farming to the south, the
Canadian thistle brought sugar beets
to the Red river valley. Increased in
vasion by the weed forced wheat
yields so low grain farming became
an almost profitless occupation. Many
farmers grew discouraged.
In the west the desert.bred leaf

industry. To escape. beet farmers

respect for Law

washington, March 16.-P)-Pro-
fessed intention Of New York attor-
neys to educate" juries not to con-
vict under the Jones law providing
stricter penalties for prohibition law
violators was assailed here today by
DR.. Ernest H. Cherrington, secretary
of the World League Against Alco-
holism, as "a frank confession Of the
disrespect for law which Is typical Of
the liquor group"
1T seems almost incredible" he de-
clared in q statement, that lawyers,
who by their own oaths when admit
ted to the bar are presumed to be Of
ficers OF the court and defenders Of
the law, should embark upon such an
undertaking"
DR.. Cherrington said "the weakness
of the liquor advocates In the United
States could not be better evidenced
than by the tactics they are pursuing
in their futile attempt to defeat the
purpose Of the eighteenth amend
ment."
Defeated In every attempt to cap
ture the required majorities in con-
gress," he asserted. "the supporters Of
the outlawed beverage liquor traffic
are resorting now to methods which,
to put 1t mildly. are highly unethical
The West group has never been
distinguished for respect for law. This
new movement is. however, probably
the most cynical admission Of con-
tempt, not alone for the law, but foI
sworn oatfs."
His attack followed the formation
in New York yesterday by q group ot
lawyers, including four former as
sistant United States attorneys, Of q
committee with the avowed purpose
of combating provisions Of the Jones
law.

grew better and produced more.
/ The beet and wheat rotation was
good. but wheat had covered the val
ley like great golden blanket. It was
too expensive to raise beets In such
wholesale fashion. and besides, the
market would not absorb them. As
factories began opening further east
however, va-:y farmers foun limited
beet growing profitable. In time some
discontinued wheat altogether.

PEACE RIVER RAILWAY WITH JOINT
 USER TRACK URGED.

Premier w. L. Mackenzie King, speaking at Edmonton recently, declared that the Peace River country ought to be opened up by rail connection with the Pacific Coast immediately and, he said, the road ought to be available for trains of both the Canadian Pacific and the Canadian National Railways. He believed that such arrangement would not only the cost of duplication of rail- ways but it would make less the cost of operation. He said that the joint of tracks by the Can adian National and Canadian Pacific in Northern Alberta had been successful and satisfactory all concerned.
 The Premier urged that the heads of the two railway systems get together and hasten their sur- veys so they might decide which would be the best route and where the Pacific Coast terminal should be. Prince Rupert and Stewart rivals for the ocean terminal. The Canadian National owns the railway terminals at Prince Rupert while the Can adian Pacific has acquired holdings at Stewart to terminal sites for road it proposes to build from there to tap interior sections It is contended by those advocating Stewart for the terminus of the Peace River road that it could use the line and terminals the Canadian Pacific proposes to build The advocates of Prince Rupert declare that the road could use part of the Canadian Ma

THE KOCKING-HOR By Mary Graham Bonner

John and Peggy wondered where the Little Black Clock would take them. He had told them he had plans and when he said he had plans he certainly meant it.
 How strange it was to see the Clock in the daytime with its white face and dull black hands, standing on top of the desk in the back hall, always pointing to seven o'clock, when they knew that every evening he could take them on adventures.
 It certainly was lucky for them that he had decided to accept the magic which gave him the power to turn the time backward or for ward rather than just keeping the ordinary, correct time.
 And he could take them on an adventure one evening and the next evening take them right back to the place where they had been so that it seemed as though they had not left him at all.
 I'm ready" he told them.
 Are you turning the time back ward or forward this evening"" John asked the Little Black Clock.
 Forward" he answered. Five years ahead of now"
 But when they went along with the Little Black Clock it did not seem as though they were having an adventure in the future. It seemed as though they were hav- ing an adventure in the past if anything for they were in an old fashioned playroom and in the cen- ter of the playroom was a rocking horse.
 I'm enjoying myself SO much" the Rocking Horse was saying in sing -song tone of voice. Tt is such a joke on them! Such joke on themp'
 Don't you want to have ride on the Rocking Horse and hear what the joke might be? I'm sure he will tell you" the Little Black Clock said.
 So Peggy got on the rocking-h horse and heard his joke.

The Nation Loses a Statesman.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)


 The passing of Senator Theodore E. Burton re- the embodiment of the highest traditions and best practices of statesmanship. scholarly gentleman of retiring disposition, his interest in governmental and international problems almost universal and upon many of them his information was haustive and profound. When he spoke he spoke with authority and eloquence, always in behalf of the common veal and amity between nations.
 His was however, the voice of reason reinforced by research and study. The enthusiasm of propa- ganda had no place on his program, and his out standing usefulness as member of both Houses of Congress the facility with which he stripped extravagant pretensions from visionary projects and codly appraised the merits of all measures espec- ally those seeking public funds
 His advocacy of meritorious enterprises was therefore, the more potent and it was eminently fitting that, upon his recent visit to this city, President Hoover should have referred to Senator Burton's labors as Chairman of the Inland Water ways Commission, characterizing his report of 1908 as "the Bible of waterways improvement" and adding that it reflected not only the clarity of mind with which the Senator had endowed public ssues for generation, but also the broad human ty Of his spirit that dwelt with especial concern upon the welfare of the whole body of men and women of the country for whose benefit the pro- gram was primarily undertaken"
 To that tribute little need be added save that the qualities which distinguished Senator Theodore E. Burton are all too rare in Congress or out ana that his passing takes from National egsla- son force and an influence that can at this time lily be spared.
