North Dakota Farmers to Try State Ownership While the Indiana legislature as wrestling with the important problems of tax reform, primary and registration measures, anl bills to provide for the establishment of progressive governmental features, the North Dakota general assembly will deal with some constructive questions that are monumental in their significance. The voters of North Dakota at "the last election returned their farmer governor, L. J. Frazier, and supported him by electing an overwhelming majority of farmer legislators on a platform of public ownership. Ten amendments to the state constitution also were adopted by the voters, authorizing the legislature to establish state owned grain elevators, flour mills, packing plants, cold storage warehouses, coal mines, hail insurance, rural credit banks, and prepare for the exemption of farm improvements and city homes from taxation. ; These ten measures were the results of peculiar state conditions. Their success or failure will be watched with interest by the other states of the union. Agriculture is the main industry of North Dakota. Wheat is the staple crop. The Minneapolis mills use what they can and the rest is shipped abroad. ..': The constant production of wheat began to exhaust the soil, and efforts to establish the cattle raising industry failed because of the prohibitive price of feed. By the time North Dakota farmers paid the exorbitant freight rates on the by-products of the wheat raised on their farms but shipped back from Minneapolis there was no profit left in the raising Of cattle. This condition resulted in a movement to establish the milling industry in North Dakota, and the amendments to the constitution, providing for state control of the industry followed. The movement for state ownership of marketing facilities is responsible for the development of co-operative elevators, stores and banks. North Dakota farmers intend to enter the cattle raising business on a large scale and for that reason seek cheap feed and have asked the state to provide it for them by building mills.

It is a satisfying fact to know that the companies are so strongly entrenched that they have been able to meet the claims without an impairment of their financial standing. These figures do not include the thousrinds of dollars that have been paid by companies writing health insurance. Among the many thousands who have been ill of the influenza is a large number that carried health insurance and to whom the companies will pay claims. t

PRESENT ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

Women in Industry

Women all over the state are interested in a measure introduced in the lower homse which seeks to protect women engaged in tho industries of the state. Regulations regarding the employment of women in Indiana are not t3o strict as they are in some states where progressive legislation has been enacted to safeguard; their rights. A public meeting will be held here Friday evening when the whole problem wj 11 be explained and remedial measures discusse d. The very nature of the legislation under discussion invites a large attendance at the high schwl auditorium. There is no question that the ge neral assembly will pass a law that will rectify ex isting evils and initiate reforms that will redouiWl to the welfare of the women. Powerful womev clubs and reform organizations are back oi the movement, which also has the support of G? ivernor Goodrich.

What the Influenza Cost the Insurance , Companies Compilations from October 1 to December 24, published in the New York Journal of Commerce, i?how that more than 120,000 persons carrying life insurance aggregating $52,000,000 answered the final call. These death claims did not include all policies, for some companies, owing to the ravages which the disease made in their staffs, were unable to submit complete figures. The losses of the big companies were enormous. One company reported no less than 75.00Q claims, calling for the payment of $15,000,000.

The Cost of Wi ir A striking illustration of t he cost of war is offered by an incident at Pure lue University. It cost $95,000 to construct armj camp buildings at the university for the studey its' training school. These structures were sold f or salvage purposes for $4,000. More lumber ; is contained in the buildings than all the lumbur yards near Lafayette usually carry in stock ixt one time.

No one need grumble a t this expense, for it is a natural accompaniment of war. If the war had gone for a year or f. wo more, the original cost would have been ch eap. The cessation of hostilities found the United States catching its war stride, and millions of dollars invested in buildings, equipment, munitions and the countless items that are usei'l in modern warfare became a loss overnight. ;

Science Advances

In the consideration of the Indus-1 trial problems of today, if lawyers, bankers, employers and business men generally, bear in mind that the predominating characteristic of American industrial history has been rapidity and magnitude of development, there can be no misgivings concerning either the immediate or the more remote future. Our Liberty Loans and voluntary

gifts to the United War Work Campaign are the largest In the history of the world. Our bank clearings in recent months have reached immense amounts rising in October to $31,808,528,209.00, a gain of 12 per cent over the previous high record, while during the same period business failures have been the smallest since monthly returns were first compiled in 1894. During the past forty-eight months our exports have exceeded our imports by ten billions of dollars making us the creditor nation of the world. Our ship building program calls for the expenditure of five billions of dollars and represents the establishment of a new and permanent industry. Bankers at home and abroad agree that our present financial system mieets all requirements of both domestic and foreign trade. While these facts and figures indicate unprecedented prosperity "directly traceable in a greater or less de

gree to the war activities of the past

four years, yet they may also be safely taken as a gauge of peace activities, for, who ever heard of an American

business man, who having done a business of ten thousand, or a hundred thousand or a million dollars a year, was ever satisfied with less? More

and greater achievements are the nat ural expression of American charac

ter and spirit, traits now strengthened by the consciousness of great accomplishments and intensified by the opportunities afforded by present

actual conditions.

With half the world in want of food.

certainly, there will be no cessation in the demand for agricultural products. Into the same category must be put coal, iron, steel and allied products, for the needs of the building trades and of foreign reconstruction alone will not only absorb any surplus in these lines but also make serious inroads upon supplies for normal consumption. Of cotton and wool, an

adequate supply is on hand for domestic requirements but with the resumption of shipping facilities any surplus will be quickly absorbed. Such are the actual conditions of our great basic- industries agriculture, mining and manufacture. The readjustment of industry from war to peace orders is going forward so rapidly that few, if any, difficulties need be anticipated on this score. Already many manufacturers have their plans so completely worked out as to make the transition from war work to

Dinn er

The six-year-old was very observing and had frequently seen her mother dressed for fashionable functions. One

day she was watching the maid preparing a chicken for the oven. "Oh. mamma!" the little one exclaimed, "Norah is taking all the feathers off the chicken!" "Yes. dear," replied the parent. "She is dressing it" "Why, mamma, the chicken isn't going to a ball, it is?" . A little boy of six was much interested in a conversation between his mother and the older children of the family about a wonderful circus which they had attended some years before. After a time the little fellow inquired of his mother: "Why wasn't I there? Where was I?" His mother replied, "Oh, you were not here." "Where was 1?" again the child asked. ' Ills mother looked at him, hesitated a moment, then added, , "Oh, you were in heaven with God and the angels."

"Gee, mother!" exclaimed this indignant youngster, "do you mear to say you left me in heaven all day with God and the angels while you and the rest of the family wa. tit to the circus?" A certain famous American football player was all set for fiction. Just before the charge start id he was sent back to overlook tb f erection of an ammunition dump, well to the rear. , "It was far worse," he ei7d later, in a dejected way, "than beS ig taken out of the line-up just beifore we tackled Yale."

Home Town Newspapers Meet the Yanks on Returning Ships WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. American soldiers boarding transports for the United States are met with newspapers from their home state, less than two weeks old, and with American magazines fresher than any they have seen since they reached France. From overseas dispatch offices at Hoboken, Newport, News, Boston and Charleston, S. C, it was announced today, the American Library Association is stocking all transports with current magazines and papers, and with permanent libraries. The latest editions obtainable of about twenty newspapers from all sections of the country are put aboard each transport just before leaving the American port. The libraries are installed when the transport goes into commission. Although the war service libraries for American soldiers overseas now contain more than 1,750,000 volumes, the library association announced it would continue to augment the libraries as the men now have more time to read and books are in greater demand.

gle day. The labor problem has only one serious aspect the total supply.

Under normal conditions American industry has required millions of immigrants, 1,200,000 to be exact in 1914, to maintain a sufficient supply of

workers and since 1914 immigration

has virtually ceased. Surely then,

the reabsorption of a few million Americans, returning gradually from the other side and having the benefit of special bureaus to put them in touch with individual centers presents no obstacles whatever. Considering the labor shortage in the belligerent countries the return of the Expeditionary Forces is no longer regarded as a subject for apprehension but on the contrary as a cause for satisfaction. This brief survey of industrial conditions warrants the conclusion that present prosperity of American industry, surpassing as it does all previous records, is but the foundation for activities and achievements on a scale so vast as to be without a parallel in the economic history of the world.

GRANDMA NEVER LET HER HAIR GET GRAY

Kept Her Locks Youthful, Dark and Glossy with Common Garden Sage and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur no one, can tell, because it's done so naturally, so evenly. Preparing , this mixture, though, at home is mussy and troublesome. At little cost you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use preparation, improved by the addition of other Ingredients called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound." You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning all gray hair disappears, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully darkened, glossy and luxuriant. Gray, faded Tiair, though no disgrace, is a sign of old age, and as we all desire a youthful and attractive appearance, get busy at once . with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound and look years younger.

Use Cocoanut Oil

For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain to much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsifled cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely greaseless), is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't posibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months. Adv.:- .
