Lesh, attorney general, gave a formal opinion to the state board of agriculture that the $1.000,000 total bond issue proposed at the last session of the legislature for improvements at the staw fair ground would not be against the state constitution, as some persons contended. It had been contended that the state has no right toIssue bonds for such purposes, but Mr. Lesh says that in his opinion the bond issues proposed would be legal, ns they would be made by the trustees of the hoard of agriculture as otlicers of the board, and not as officers of the stale of Indiana.

"I don't believe we will recognize any statin- of limitation in his case if one should exist." Secretary Weeks would not sav what ,ste:s would be taken to get Pergdoil out of Cermanv. He refused to discuss the possihility of his extra dition by Croat Pritain for violation of Pritish passport laws, but did say that he assumed that if the state of war between the Cnited States and Germany were declared at an end Ask lor Changes in QUOTING President Harding's declaration for "more business In (,i'M (llilll 111 li.Vi 11 .". ,11) Li II1UI 111 111 iinriwtw(iif tin.1 l.i ir.Liaiiituiii.iit lit business." a committee of electric power executives has asked the fed eral water power commission to revise certain portions of the regulations for development of power under the new water power laws which were pro mulgated by the old commission just before It went out of otlice March 4. It was the second meeting of the new commission composed of Secre taries Weeks, Fall and Wallace. Just before the close of the last administration, tht outgoing commission pro mulgated regulations which the power men today acknowledged to be about 70 per cent workable, but containing provisions, which they said, undeni ably would prevent the development of water power projects which the bill was intended to stimulate. The regulations, as drawn by the outgoing commission, the power exec utives told the secretaries, seek to constitute . the federal commission a regulatory body with expensive ma chinery, involving duplicate systems of accounts and thousands of employees. Congress, they argued. It was shown by the terms of the bill and the record of its passage, intended the commission to be a supervisory

Marking Mount McKinley National Park

MAPKING on the ground the boundary of Mount McKinley National Park. Alaska, will be started as soon as weather conditions permit by the United States general land otlice through the surveyor general at Juneau. This is the lirst step to be taken by the national park service in establishing adequate protection over the region which is the fountain head of the big game herds of Alaska. The total length of the boundary is approximately 12."0 miles, but. due to the rugged topography of the park and to the faet that the boundary crosses several immense glaciers, it will be impossible to monument the entire, line. Congress when it created the park had in mind two main objects to be fultilled by its establishment. One of Capitol Decorated Mt)ST of the decorations on the capitol at Washington are the work of the Itnli.au artists, according to an article by Prof. Enrico Sartorio in "Carroeoio." an Italian magazine, published in New York. The 'dome was dc-oratcd by a young Italian painter, Pietro Ponani. who bad previously vorkol in Home. He died in The cast of the Statue of Liberty was done by Causlci, who died before he could put it into marble. As the hall of representatives beared completion, in W5. Giuseppe Fra::ohi ami liovannl Andrei, sculptors, were brought over from Italy. Their -'ork was destroyed when the capitol ws burned by the Pritish during the v.r of 112.

extradition of the dinft evader would be possible. Secretary Weeks anuouncod formally that Prigadier Ceneral Allen had made oVertures to the (lerman government looking to the pardoning of Carl Neuf and Franz Zimmer, Americans sentenced to prison terms at Eherbaeh. Germany, for attempting to arrest Pergdoil on (lerman soil. General Allen has reported to the War department that Neuf and Zimmer are well cared. for and comfortable iu the prison where they are held. It was said that the state department had made no request of the Pritish government that it assist in bringing Pergdoil to justice. Pergdoil escaped into Germany by obtaining u passport in Canada. Under the Pritish law, falsification of a passport is a felony punishable by imprisonment, and in diplomatic circles the opinion was advanced that the Pritish government could demand that the German government surrender Pergdoil for trial. Doubt was expressed whether he could be returned to the United States by Pritish authorities. Water-Power Rule body, and, they argued, congress showed its intent when it limited the appropriations for the commission work to SUM MM) a year. To carry out the regulations as they now stand, the secretaries were told, would cost the government hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, retard the development of power projects and represent duplication of effort. To carry out the regulations, the secretaries were told, would be to create another great federal bureau. Py amended regulations, the power executives maintained, the government could do the work with a small personnel and at a moderate expenditure by utilizing the services of the army engineers. Present, regulations, it was argued, were contrary to Intent of the law. i these was" to maintain for the benefit. use and enjoyment of all the people this great area of magnificent scenery and unsurpassed natural attractions and the other was to preserve the game supply of this part of Alaska. Due regard was had in framing the law for certain important factors in the development of Alaska. The validity of existing claims under the land laws of the UnlteNStates was recognized, as was also the right of prospectors to make new locations. For necessary development it is permitted that prospectors and mito-rs actually engaged in prospecting and mining may take and kill in the park what same or birds are needed for their actual necessities when short of food. All other hunting and killing of wild life is prohibited and offenders are liable to a tine of ?."r(K) or six months' imprisonment, or both, and will hi- adjudged to pay the cost of the proceedings. With the completion of the government railroad from Seward to Fairbanks, which npproacb.es the south eastern corner of the park within fifteen or twenty miles, tourist travel to Mount McKinley Park will be an ir complished fact. The national park service will assume active admims trative control of the park July 1. by Italian Artists Washington.

WANTS OWN FARM

Why One Youth Seeks the Land of Opportunity. Beckoning Hands of Independence and Wealth Stretch Out From Western Canada to Those Who Have Faith and Courage. Strolling around the exhibit room of the Canadian government otlice ia St. Paul, studying the grain, and picking up an odd piece or two of literature describing farming and its results in Western Canada, a dapper, well-built, strapping six-footer said to the man ager, Tve been having a grand whirl of living for the past few years. I used to work on tny uncle's farm in Iowa. I heard of the big fat pay envelopes that the city chaps were getting every week. I went to the city. and I began getting them, too. I had all the excitement they would bring theaters, dinners, swell clothes and taxis. I surely saw a lot of that life that In days gone by I had anxiously gazed upon and secretly wanted to try. "Put I'm driven to earth now. I'm still working, but the pay envelope Is thinner. Xot working steadily, you know, and I sort of miss those sllkshlrt times. I went to Western Can ada once, and I think Til make another trip. "I was up there five years ago. I want money, and lots of it; I want to be my own boss, but I haven't much coin to start with. I want to get Into that class that, don't have to worry about a 'buck or so. I know fellows out there in Canada w' o went there. a few years ago, got a quarter section some homesteaded and some bought on easy payments and they are well off today. A number of the boys from my own state paid for their lands from a single crop. I may not be as successful as they were, but I want to try" He wanted to talk, and the manager was a good listener. He continued: I want to have my own home, and raise my own cattle; I want hogs and poultry, and milk and eggs to sell. Can' I get a market?" He was assured that he could, and that he could get a decent-sized crop to thrash every fall.' You know,' he said, "if the farm ers on flve-hundred-dollar-an-acre land can make money, my reasoning leads me to believe that I can grow as many dollars an acre from that cheaper land in Western Canada." This period of semi-unrest Is caus ing more thinking and planning for the future than probably at any time In the past. The desire for personal and financial independence Is growing. To secure this, the first real source of wealth Is the land Itself. That Is the solution. During the era of high prices, doubtless there was some Inflation of land values. So the new man the young man wishing to make a start on a farm was confronted with the problem of the land he wanted having gone beyond his limited capital. He must seek elsewhere. Two decades ago, and less, good farming land could be bought In Canada at four dollars an acre, but ns the demand Increased and Its productivity was proven, prices advanced. There has been no undue Inflation, though, and prices today are very reasonable. Some day, when the country is settle, land will bring a much higher price In Western Canada. Today land prices range for unimproved. $18 to $25 an acre; improved, at $00 up. The productive value Is almost beyond estimate. The reports of those who have been fanning these lands, making money and enjoying every' personal freedom, are available and can be secured on application. It Is apparent that this last big available farming area of Western Canada will tend, to no small extent, to dispel some of the unrest that Is so prevalent today among the younger men, who have had a taste of better things and who Intend to have them in tho future.
