Bismarck, N. D.. Sept. 24-R-Re-

The governor held that charges OF

OWNERSHIP
URCEDBY HOOVER
AT HOUSING MEET
Says Every industrious Man Of
Sound Character Should
Buy His Own

Washington, Sept. 24.-F-PreSi-
dent Hoover today told the initial
meeting Of the planning committee
Of his conference on home building
and home ownership that 1t should
be possible in our country for anybody
Of sound character and industrious
habits to provide himself with ade-
quate housing and preferably to buy
his own home"
The committee held its first session
at the white house. It was set up at
the suggestion Of Mr.. Hoover to study
the problem of home ownership with
q view to making 1t easier for the
average citizen to own q house.
Adequate housing" President Hoo
yer said, "goes to the very roots of
the well being Of the family. and the
family is the social unit Of the nation.
1T Is more than comfort that is
involved, 1t has important aspects Of
health and morals and education and
the provision Of q fair chance for
growing childhood.
Nothing contributes more for
greater happiness OF for sounder So
cial stability than the surroundings Of
the home. It should be possible in
our country for anybody of sound
character and industrious habits to
provide himself with adequate hous-
ing and preferably to buy his own
home.
"The finance of home building, es-
pecially for second mortgages. Is the
most backward segment Of our whole
credit system.
1T is easier to borrow IS per cent
on an automobile and repay it on the
installment plan than to buy q home
on that basis-and generally the
house requires q higher interest rate.
1.-THE whole process Of purchase and
finance involves q ceremony like .
treaty between governments and yet
the home Is certainly az good collat-
eral as an automobile: 1t depreciates
more slowly II at all, and its owner
will make q harder fight to keep 1t.
1.-The home has tentacles of senti-
ment as we'll as bonds Of practical
necessity that bind the occupants to
1t. Part Of the difficulty lies In in
adequate financial organizations and
part Of It you will find in obsolete
laws"

The international ana racine
Coast circuits already have voted
to defy the draft and accept the
challenge. The American Associa-
ton is expected to follow suit and
Join the movement to carry on as
a triple entente" without affiliation
with the majors.
Two Minors Will Join
It is generally believed that the
two other on-selective leagues, the
Three Eye and Western, will be
guided by the action of the Glass
AA Leagues. with a possibility of a
complete realignment of organized
baseball.
Acceptance of the major league
draft demands would bring an end
to the era of high prices paid by
big league clubs for minor stars,
while refusal will bring open war
fare with the majors refusing to
buy, sell or loan players to nom
draft leagues.
The conference of the Glass AA
leagues originally was called to con-
slider renewal and revision OF the
minor league agreement, but that
business has been subordinated by
the draft problem.
War in Prospect
The draft dispute is of long stand
ing. Under the National agreement,
made in 1920, minor league clubs
were granted the privilege of reject
ing the draft and five leagues, the
Western, Three-I, international,
Pacific Coast and American AsSocia-
ton, accepted immunity.
Since that time the American and
National Leagues have attempted to
force the draft on the nonselective
leagues, but without success. The
three class AA circuits rejected all
concessions by the major leagues
and refused to consider any change
in the agreement.
Now that the major leagues have
adopted the "big stick" policy the
class AA circuits are even more OPP
posed to changing their stand and a
bitter baseball war is in prospect.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Wesley Fer

is the first major league pitcher to
win eighteen games this season.
After a nip-and-tuck race with
Ted Lyons, Chicago White Sox ace,

Lyons failed in his effort to chalk
up his eighteenth triumph, losing in

Ferrell's stellar pitching this sea-
