Plenty Of Books Left
In State Library to
Meet Reading Demand

Although the number Of travelling
libraries avilablc Is insufficient 70
meet the demand. North Dakotans
wanting winter reading still can get
plenty Of books from the state library
here, Miss Bessie Baldwin, In charge
Of the travelling library section. said
today.
Every travelling library we have IS
in service and we have q long waiting
list" Miss Baldwin said. Most OF
our juvenile books are in these travel
ing libraries and we r short on
them. However, we still have plenty
of books for adults which can be
made up into packages and sent out
to those who want them. These are
not books of recent publication but
are good standards works appearing
during the last ten years or 50. The
only cost is the postage each way"
"The reference department can
meet individual requests for specified
titles, both juvenile and adult, but at
present the travelling library depart
ment can supply package libraries
only"

serious straits, and unemployment
continues in large volume.
Mortgaging More Favorable
The outlook for farm mortgage
financing is more favorable than in
1929, as well as are the facilities for
marketing credit. Interest rates are
being lowered by intermediate credit
banks and other loans based on ware
house receipts. ample marketing
credit Is being offered by the federal
farm board at low rates.
No great change in interest rates
for production loans is anticipated for
North Dakota. In some localities,
where the 1929 crop was short, bank
deposits have been low and borrow
ing by banks has been larger. Some
shortage OF funds may be encoun-
tered. A definite shift Of funds from
large commercial centerS to agricul-
tural sections seems evident.
Need More Building
Not much change Is anticipated In
farm machinery levels. An increased
demand for tractors and power ma
chinery Is expected. Unless city build
ing increases more than is expected
lumber and building material will
probably be lower in 1880 than in 1929.
In the spring wheat area an agri-
cultural revolution is occurring. Where
large machinery units are increasing
a lower bushel-cost of production is
being realized. Dairying and hogs are
moving into the east side of this area.
Increasing acreages of semi-arid land
are coming into production, but the
effect of this is somewhat offset by
some 20 to 30 million acres Of pillow
land now idle in the south and east.

STATE IS OFFERED
Much EGALAlDI IN
RAILROAD APPEAL
Other Commonwealth Interest
ed in Intrastate Rate Test
in Supreme Court

Plenty of legal aid will be available
to Attorney General James Morris
when he appears before the supreme
court of the United States to contend
for the right of the state railroad
board to fix intra-state freight rates.
The case. which has attracted wide
attention among state railroad and
public utility boards, probably will be
argued in March, although the date
has not been set. =
It was taken to the supreme court
On appeal from q decision OF the low
er federal courts which restrained the
state railroad board from ordering
into effect jobbing and distributing
rates from a number of North Da-
kota cities and towns. The injunc-
ton was granted because general
rates were then under investigation
by the interstate commerce commits
sion and the lower federal courts or
dered the state board not to do any
thing until the interstate rates were
decided.
Test OF Authority
The case Is really important, Morris
said today, because it bears directly
On the authority of state railroad
boards to regulate such matters with
in their states"
G. w. Mcdonnell, chairman Of the
state railroad board, said he feels
the case will determine whether this
board and others like it in other
states like It in other states, has any
excuse for existence insofar as rail-
road matters. are concerned.
It is the fact that q principle Is in
volved which will put at Morris CON-
nand plenty Of legal talent. Other
railroad boards have expressed their
interest and will participate in the
case on behalf of the North Dakota
board. A large number are sending
their counsel to Washington to advise
with Morris, as representative Of the
North Dakota railroad board, when
the matter comes up for trial. At
least q dozen attorneys m expected
to be arrayed on the side Of the North
Dakota board when arguments are
presented to the supreme court.
National Association to Aid
The national association Of state
railroad boards and public utility
commissions has instructed John E.
Benton, its general counsel, to assist
Morris in the case and the two al
ready have outlined q plan Of cam
paign in the effort to halt federal
aggression and encroachment upon
the powers Of the states" Morris said.
Only Morris and Benton will appear
in the arguments, other counsel con-
tributed by public utility commissions
; Of other states being available for
consultation purposes only, since the
court rules limit the argument to
two men.
The brief for the state Of North
Dakota already is being printed and
| Morris expects to receive notice Of
the date set for argument in the near
| future.

nels, Prohibition Commissioner Dorar
today said diversion last year did moi
amount to more than three per cent
Of the total production. +
Senator Borah and others in con.
g~ressional circles have asserted re-.
Gently that the diversion Of alcohol
for illegal purposes was a major pro-
hibition problem.
Leak Practically Closed
Doran said agents of the prohibi-
ton bureau in cooperation with Unit
ed States attorneys have been inves-
tigating the situation for the last
seven or eight months and have
practically closed this leak"
He added that appropriate court
action may follow" as a result Of the
inquiry.
The commissioner said there were
52,405, 900 gallons Of completely dena-
tured alcohol produced last year, most
of which was used principally as an
anti-freeze solution for automobiles.
Doran gave the production Of spe-
cially denatured alcohol as 54,550,000
gallons. He gave a list Of 1T firms,
which he described as undoubtedly
reputable, who used 100000 gal
Ions but added that concerns in New
Jersey and Pennsylvania whose per-
mits were revoked by prohibition adj
ministrators, only to have them re-
stored by district courts, used 735 600
gallons. He did not name the New
Jersey and Pennsylvania firms.
The commissioner said the principal
diversion problem conferred in lacquer,
thinners, solvents and low grade
toilet waters but asserted diversion
from this source was not ne fourth
of what 1t was three years ago.
Independent Plant Out
"In the intervening period the In
dependent denaturing plant has been

MORTGAGE DEBTS FALLING

One of the favorable outlooks for
farmers in 1880 is the relative decline

products In comparison with agricul-
trual prices, states Rex E. Willard
farm economist of North Dakota Az
ricultural college. in the annual agri-
cultural outlook report for agriculture
which he has just completed. The fed
eral farm board has directly endorsed
this outlook report and commends Its
consideration to farmers.
While the narrowing OF the ratio
between what a farmer pays for what
he buys and what he gets for the
products he sells has been going on
for two or three years, 1t seems GER
tain that many of the articles farmers
have to buy will decline still further
in price during 1880 and 1891. All
prices have been dropping recently
but agricultural prices have not fallen
as rapidly as non-agricultural prices
Other favorable aspects of agricul-
ture for the coming year are a greater
sterilization Of the financial status OF
the farmer. almost complete cessation
in the decline of land values TN most
sections of the United States, a de-
cline in farm foreclosures. and a re-
duction in the mortgage indebtedness
of farmers. Although farm foreclosures
are still about six times the pre-war
level, the proportion is lessening.
Tax Reduction viii BE Slow
The reduction of mortgage indebt-
edness may also reflect a condition
opposite to improvement. however
willard warns. Debt reduction results
not only from satisfactory earnings
but also from foreclosures with reduc-
ton in the capital value of farms and
mortgage renewals at lower figures

continue to increase for some time

amounting to 20 per cent. Industrial
payrolls have suffered. and this re-
duced income of the worker has re-
duccd his purchasing power. This has
affected the demand for some farm
products, but the decline is not likely
to continue long. nor is 1t likely to be
serious so far as agriculture is con-
cerned. That industrial activity will
pick up during 1880 seems certain.
With lower interest rates both in
this country and abroad. there Is a
tendency to put more money into cir
culation. This condition has been
furthered also by buying bonds and
paying cash for them by the federal
reserve banks.
Not So Good Abroad
There is little reason to expect a
permanent decrease in domestic de-
mand for farm products. despite the
temporary situation of butter. wool.

In the principal European countries
the demand for American surplus
products will be no better in 1890, II
as good, as in 1929. Most foreign
countries are generally increasing
their production of surplus products,
especially wheat, flax and hogs. Virtu-
ally all countries are increasing their
wheat acreages. Germany and other
European countries are producing
more hogs, and Argentina Is increas-
ing her flax acreage. These increases
mean greater competition for Ameri-
can products.

products.

 The policeman killed was John Guiltanane. who was shot through the head. His companion, Officer Anthony P. Wistort. was shot through the abdomen and 1t was feared his wound would prove fatal.
 Police later arrested Harry Yet ter, former convict, as he entered the home of Marjorie Gossett. Yet ter had been shot twice, once in the arm, once in the leg, and police said he had said the wounds were re- ceived in battling the police. He had a small calibre pistol of the same size that was used in killing Guil- tanane. He told the officers he had been drunk. Another suspect arrest ed at the same time refused to give his name.

Sharp Attendance Drop

New Haven, July IS P-A sharp drop in attendance at the home games of the New Haven Profs after they had lost leadership of the league to Allentown, today was blamed for the action Of the club officials in withdrawing from the Eastern League.
 New Haven was nosed out at the close of the first half of the leagues split season two weeks ago when Providence won the crucial game. Thereafter, the home town fans were conspicuous by their absence from Savin Rock ball park.
 4 part payment of salaries due ior June was not forthcoming until Profs. a hard-bitting club, went into a distinct batting slump.
 Holds 10 Day Option
 Claude B. Davidson, former presi- dent of the New England League, held a 10 day option on the team, but declined to exercise it, it was said, when he became fully aware of the financial losses and the attitude Of the fans.
 He investigated the possibilities of night baseball. and for a time 1t seemed certain New Haven would follow Buffalo and other eastern teams in playing by artificial light.
