In letter to John Barton Payne,
chairman Of the American Red Cross,
Governor George F. Shafer expressed
gratitude in behalf OF the people Of
North Dakota for the work Of the
Red Cross y: the drought area of
northwestern North Dakota.
He called attention to the assist
ance given by the Red Cross stating
that the organizations efforts avoid
ed chaos and disorder and brought
security Of mind and community con-
tentment throughout the afflicted
territory"
The letter to Payne follows:
I'm 1881 North Dakota suffered the
most disastrous drouth in its history.
Production of food, feed and grains
was totally destroyed in Is counties.
Nearly $4,000 rural people were rem
dered helpless to provide the necessi-
ties of life until another crop year.
Facing the rigors of a northern win
ter. with local resources Exhausted.
thousands of families seersed destined
to suffer hardships unparalleled in the
history OF the county,
Then came the Red Cross and the
emergency was speedily and fully met.
Sufficient food, clothing and other
necessities were promptly furnished.
ADEQUATE relief for all human needs
was irtelligently administered through
wonderfully efficient organization.
The measure of supplementary aid
furnished by the Red Cross has not
only permitted the people in the dis
tressed area to live comfortably and
free of undue hardshins for many
months but it has enabled them to
operate their schools throughout the
year on a normal basis and to main
tain harmonious social relations. It
avoided chaos and disorder and
BROUGHT security of mind and COM
munity contentment throughout the
afflicted territory. The Red Cross as
sistance replaced despair with hope,
and fear with self-confidence. It re-
vived the spirit of faith in the hearts
of the people, it restored their faith in
their state and country and reinspired
them with confidence in the generos-
ity and virtue Of humanity.
1.-THE people of North Dakota are
profoundly grateful to the American
Red Cross for the generous aid af-
forded them in this great emercencv,
and, in their behalf, wish to express
our sincere thanks and appreciation.
MAY I also express my admiration
for the wise, efficient and patient
manner in which all Of the officials
and representatives of the American
Red Gross have performed their many
arduous duties in this crisis. par
ticularlv wish to commend Messrs.
Shepard and Rowland. directors in
charge of relief operations in the
Montana North Dakota area, and Mr..
Baxter and his assistants for discharg-
ing their many difficult and delicate
tasks in the Red Cross service in q
manner deserving of the highest
praise and rejecting much credit up
on the principles and methods OF that
great humanitarian organization, the

To Rap Drunk Drivers

Fargo, April 13.-P)-Power OF the
city of Fargo to prosecute and mete
out penalties in drunken driving cases
is upheld by Judge M. ]. Englert OF
Valley City in ruling received by M.
w. Murphy, city attorney of Fargo,
On an appeal.
The appeal was taken in the case Of
the city against ice Chaser, fined $25
and sentenced to 60 days in the city
Jail on charge of drunken driving.
Clair F. Brickner of Fargo, Glasers
attorney, filed demurrer in police
court on grounds that F. A. Leonard,
police magistrate, had no jurisdiction
because the city ordinance conflicts
with the state law. The demurrer
was overruled and an appeal taken.
Brickner commended there are state
laws which govern and provide PEN
alties for drunken driving and there
fore the city cannot pass an ordinance
regulating the offellSe.
Judge Englert held, however. that
the state law gives cities power to
pass ordinances to carry into effect
the powers granted cities.

Standards of the white house con-

plOyerS lost $5OOO death award.
Standards of the white house con-
ference call for physical examina-
tons and employment certificates for
all minors under 10. Yet in IA states
children under Is may go to work
regardless of their physical condi-
ton.
The survey made by the New York
State Department of Labor showed
that 40 per cent of working children
had some physical defect which was
being intensified by the requirements
of their jobs.
The wages of child workers nor
mally are low but especially so in
depression times when thousands are
in competition with each other for
jobs.
Pay is especially poor In industrial
home work. One New Jersey family
of six persons, working until late at
night stringing safety pins. earns
only 50 to 81 a week. In MaSsachu-
sets town, children and their parents
fit tiny screws into electrical appara-
tus for as little as 20 cents per thou
sand. One child of 9 and her mother
were found making doll dresses, about
dozen every two hours, at the rate
of 4 cents dozen. And they furnish
ed their own thread.
Schools Cant Absorb All
According to white house con-
ference committee, the great mass OF
working children enter occupations
that are monotonous in the extreme,
lacking all educative value other than
a certain amount of training in habits
of work. What they must do can be
learned in a few hours, or at best a
few days; after that it is a matter of
repeating the same tasks over and
over again. Such procedure In
wolves more than usual waste during
the years when mental growth and
acquisition are at their height, and
offers a poor substitute for the train
ing and self-expression of school life."

Dear Miss Robinson:
I wonder if my story would
be of any help to the thousands
of discontented women who
write to your column. I know
why they are discontented. I
was that way once, too. And I
found my cure in the last place
I expected.
The whole thing started be-
fore my marriage. I was %,
my husband 25. We both came
from nice homes, had good
educations, held fine jobs, with
futures.
We were much in love, but
we were cynical young. moderns
and we thought that marriage
was a trap for most people. We
decided we wouldn't be caught.
So we made a plan.
Love and a Career
We agreed that I should go
on working after we were mar
ried, and should have the ca
reer upon which I had started.
In that way, we thought, we
would both stay vitally inter-
ested in life and would never
bore each other.
Also, by that plan we could
have many luxuries and pleas
ures which we could not have if
gave up my work. That
would keep us both young, and
prevent that drabness which
seems to fall on so many mar
ried people.
Some day we planned to have
babies and live in the country,
but that was only to be after
I had enjoyed my freedom and
professional success to the full.
So we started, as so many
other smart" young Americans
are doing, and for a while it
seemed to work beautifully.
Several years went on. We
grew more and more prosper
Gus. Then, gradually, I began
to notice a change creeping
over us.
In spite of all our well laid
plans, we were becoming bored
with each other! We had lost
our zeSt for parties, or were
tee busy to enjoy them. Night

after night my husband would
come home, sit silent through
dinner, then bury himself in a
paper and pay no attention
to me.
At first was surprised, then
humiliated and sorry for my
self. Then I became really
angry. But none of my moods

had to face the choice
which so many modern women
must make-A HOME OR A
CAREER? I had thought that
by keeping my career I would
make myself and my home more
attractive. I now discovered the
amazing fact that my husband
found no interest in the sort of
a home which a career-Woman
could make. It was a beautiful
and efficient home-but it
meant nothing to him. Why?
Facing the Problem
It took me a long time to an.
Swer that question. Maybe I
didn't really want to answer it;
but at last I had to face it. The
truth was, my husband wasn't
interested in our home because
HE HAD NO PLACE IN IT. He
lived there, slept and ate there,
paid some Of the bills
BUT THE HOME DIDN'T DE-
PEND ON HIM, AND NEITHER
DID I! NEITHER THE HOME
MOI I WAS HIS PERSONAL
RESPONSIBILITY OR ADVEN-
TURE, AND SO HE WAS
DRIFTING AWAY FROM US
BOTH!
So that was what I had to
face. I had wanted a full life,
but I found I couldn't get it by
Wor@"ing on two jobs at once.
I had to be either whole-time
wife, or whole-time careerist. And
would a career satisfy, if I lost
the man 7 loved?
I didn't think it would; and
so I made my step. We came
here into the country. We found
a little ranch, close enough for
him to go to work. and 1 gave
up my job and went in for gar
dening.
I nearly died of boredom and
loneliness at first, but within
a week my husband was
changed man. He found he
liked to tinker in the garden.
He came racing home at night,
as excited as a boy.
Well, it's a long story. But
I saved my home, and I don't
think there's a happier couple
on earth than we are now.
MARY OWENS.
So that's that. And I Won

women will prop their elbows

Mr.. Hoover's Mockery
of Human Misery

So, too, with Mr.. Hoover's
mockery of human misery in
his attitude toward the de-
preston for almost two
years. Mr.. Nevins merely
expresses what millions have
thought:
His early statements on
the depression could hardly
have been worse. T h ey
showed a hollow and un-
worthy optimism, SO patent
ly insincere that they
deceived nobody. AS sup
plemented by the still more
egregious misstatements of
DR.. Julius Klein they both
irritated and depressed in
telligent people,
Here was a leadership
that was trying to lead the
people into the dark; it de-
noted one of several things
either an utter inability to
comprehend the situation, a
callous indifference to it, or
consciousness of a dcarth OF
ideas on how to meet it.

Riding Back to Prosperity

The prices of wheat corn cattle and hogs however, are
probably better index of fundamental conditions than nine
tenths of all the securities listed or unlisted
it is distinctly cheering both to farmers and to
industry learn that in the month Of June the live stock in
the States of Nebraska Iowa. Kansas Missouri and South
Dakota increased in value $289,OO0,000
At Omaha June g. the price of hogs $3.50 hun
dred On June 80 $3.50 On June 10 the price Of cattle
was $6.75 hundred. On June 80 it $8.10
Similar figures prevailed in all the big live stock
This is than quarter of billion dollar rise in five
States alone
Farmers in that section naturally ubilant feeling that
at last the tide has turned in their favor
AS of them it, they expect to be riding back
to prosperity hog.
