81 an hour.
Here's fellow to piQue the imag-

who never smiles, and what first
brought him to the notion that there
would be $2-an-hour living in SOM
berness? Many man walks about
with stern face out of habit, and
the number of smiling faces per
block are not SO many as to make
immobility an asset.
One wonders what this fellow does
when his days work is done and he
can relax his face. Does he smile
at the odd ways of a world which
makes him his living or is he
victim of some facial contortion
which freezes his mask into severity?
Suppose he looks most placid
when he really is smiling or laughing.

VC0AVUE OF Inc COuetcf3t1004l1St)
An English writer recently quoted
DR.. Barnes, the bishop Of Birming-
ham, as having said that the three
greatest living men In the world to-
day are Gandhi of India, Grenfell Of
Labrador and Schweitzer, q mission
airy In the French Congo.
Possibly in the field Of their sort
OF greatness comparisons cannot be
made. and each one Of these-as the
mark Of his real greatness would dis.
claim being anything but a very low
~ child Of God, seeking to know and
to do his will.
II money is the standard we can
compare the greatness Of men &C
cording to how much they possess
II fame and power are the standards
the comparison Is not 50 easy, but 1t
can stiu be made. But when 1t comes
to realm where men and women
have given all that they have to God
and to their fellowmen comparison
fails: the lowliest IS as the greatest.
This Is probably what the poet
Browning meant when he said:
"Au service Is alike with God"
Whether or not Bishop Barnes was
correct In his Judgment, he has
judged according to the right stand
ard. For did not Jesus say, Tie that
Is greatest among you sl1all be your
servant?"
The worlds supreme souls are those
who minister the cup Of cold water In
the name Of Christ. ST

rifle losses from overproduction in
1923 that there is little probability
that an excessive acreage will be
planted this season. Last years eX-
perience need not discourage efficient
producers of potatoes in North Da-
kota. The acreage of potatoes in this
state increased from 10000 acres in
1927 to 141 900 acres in 1928. On Jan.
l merchantable stocks in North Da-
kota were estimated to be 100000
bushels, about two million bushels
greater than year ago.
Beef Cattle
The outlook for the cattle industry
continues favorable with prices about
at the peak Of the cycle, but this does
not appear to be good time for new
producers to enter the industry.
Those already in may profit by mod
crate expansion within the next two
or three years, even though prices
may go somewhat lower. The number
OF all cattle on farms in North Da-
kota increased from a total of L.
OCT 900 head Jan. /. 1928, to 1918, 900
head Jan. l, 1929, about one per cent.
Average value per head in this state
Jan. l, 1928, was $43.70. and this in
creased to $3.50 Jan. l, 1929.
Hogs
The hog outlook for 1929 seems
favorable for producers in North Da-
kota. Slaughter In the United States
is expected to be considerably smaller
than last year with some improve
ment in foreign demand and no ma
terlal increase in domestic demand.
The seasonal level of hog prices in
1890 is expected to average higher
than in 1928.
Sheep
The outlook for the sheep industry
IN this country during the next few
years indicates the need for due cau-
ton in regard to continued expansion.
The last low point in sheep numbers
was reached in 1922. There has since
been considerable expansion In flock
numbers which is continuing. Even
at somewhat Of q reduction In prices,
lambs and wool will be as profitable
as other kinds of live stock and live
stock products produced in North Da-
kota.
Dairy
Domestic production of all dairy
products during recent years has av-
eraged about 80 per cent of domestic
consumption and as prospective for
eign supplies limit the level to which
domestic prices can rise, the situa-
ton does not justify more than
gradual expansion of dairy herds,
possibly not more than one per cent
per year. Farmers have an advan-
tageous opportunity at this time to
dispose Of old cows for beef purposes.
In North Dakota the number of cows
and heifers two years old and over
Kept for milk decreased from a total
OF $4,000 in 1928 to $4,000 in 1929, or
about two per cent. The average value
per head Jan. l, 1923, was SCI 90, and
this increased to an average of $500
per head Jan. !, 1929. North Dakota
shows an increase Of per cent in the
number of yearling heifers being
saved for milk cows.
Poultry and Eggs
The prospective supply and demand
situation indicate higher prices for
poultry during the first half of the
current year than prevailed a year
ago. and prices for eggs during the
first six months lower than those of
1923 but higher than those Of 1927.

List Alleged Abuses
Other claims are: Deaths from
alcoholism increased 300 per cent be-
tween 1920 and 1927. Arrests for
drunkenness in 5l8 communities rose
from 279, 939 in 1920 to 668, 1924 in 1927
an increase of more than 1875 per
cent even when population increase
is counted in Marked increases In
the number OF alcoholic insanity pa
tients are cited and in the number Of
drunken drivers Also huge increases
in the number of stills seized. More
than 100000 gallons of mash were
seized In 1928 and more than 26,OOO,-
600 gallons in 1928.
Law enforcers seized 15,4l6 pieces
Of distilling apparatus in 1920 and
2l6.O0O in 1928. Liquor seizure jumped
from 153.O 900 gallons in 1920 to 81, 00O,-
600 in 1928.
On top of that the association cites
large increases in enforcement APP
preparations, liquor imports from
Canada, figures showing the relative
wetness of dry" states. abuses by law
enforcers. and cruel punishments and
court congestion.
