PAGE EIGHT PEOPLE OF H. D. ! SHOULD REJOICE SAYS COULTER i November Truly Month of Thanksgiving in State. Says A. ('. President STUDENTS TO WRITE I Themes in Support of Greater ; North Dakota Movement j t To Re Undertaken I Fargo, N. It., Nov. 4. November j is to be “Thanksgiving month'’ in reality for North Itakota this year. | Why the true spirit of Thanks giving should prevail in North I'a- i kota, and especially why students in the state college should be thankful this November 27 is the theme of a letter to he written by the students at the North Dakota Agricultural college in a contest in- , augurated by Dr. John Lee Coulter, president of the institution. The best letter is to be published ; in the Spectrum, college paper, and sent to all the universities and cob , leges of the country with the I Thanksgiving greetings of the stu- j dents of the North Dakota college. The author of the prizewiniring let ter will receive an award of $lO. For second place $7.50 is to be given, for third place, $5 and for fourth place $2.50. All letters are to be judged by a committee of j three, consisting of two faculty i members and one student. Letters ; must not exceed 500 words and will j contain a Thanksgiving greeting to \ all other schools of higher learning in the United States and must also state briefly some of the reasons why North Dakota residents can be thankful in 1924. Supporting Movement “The college students and faculty ! members want to do their part in j supporting the movement for a , Greater North Dakota, in letting other states and colleges Know some of the many good things that we have in this state,’’ said I)r. Coul ter in his message to the students. I “There are many real reasons why j we at the college should be thank ful this year and this month is the logical time to express that thank- | fulness. “Just as the Eagle is recognized as the great symbol of American liberty in July so the turkey is rec ognized as the great symbol of Am erican prosperity and thanksgiving in November. We like to live in peace under the wings of the one, but we also like to get u piece from under the wings of the other. “Let's truly recognize November as “thanksgiving month" for North Dakota this year. While we must not boast or brag about ourselves, our state, our institution, yet may we not in a perfectly proper, modest way send thanksgiving greetings to the students of all of the other col leges of America? Thousands of students in colleges presently will graduate; they will be looking for the greatest opportun ity to carry on their life’s work. "While they may not have large wealth they will have training und education and possibly they may be able to secure the financial support of purents or friends. “In sending these greetings from North Dakota might we not tell something of the reasons why we in North Dakota ar e thankful, not only for the bountiful harvest and very satisfactory prices for everything which wc have to sell, but for the wonderful soil and coal and clay, for the other natural resources, for the sunshine and rainfall and tem perate climate, which is so wonder fully health giving and invigorating? “May we not also tell something of our college and of the opportun ities for education whicli North Da kota affords, as well as other bless ings which arc ours? Tell of Opportunities “The business men of North Da kota during November will be tell ing the business men of other states about our opportunities; profession al men will be telling those of other states; our farmers will be telling the farmers elsewhere about the re markable agricultural I'esouives; iind our various commercial organi zations will bo telling of the won ders of great deposits of clay and coal. “They will be pointing to the day when this state will see tremendous power plants at the entrance to our coal mines, producing power for in dustry and sending heat, light and power to every corner of the state in the form of electric energy. “Our student body will wish to participate in this movement and as a body tell the students of all parts of the United States of the gieat opportunities in North Dakota at the same time that we send thanks giving greetings. “It is with this in mind that 1 propose that we participate in the Greater North Dakota campaign which has in mind to tell the truth about our state.” TO WRITE Many Veterans Rehabilitated At State A.

HUNT NEA Service Writer Washington, Nov. 4. Washington, “The City Beautiful,” may once again become a tented city unless a truce is reached between the cap ital's landlords and tenants. More than 20(10 notices of evic tion, affective Nov. 1, have been served by landlords on tenants who have refused to meet rent increases which went into effect Oct. 1. This threatened wholesale evic tion is the culmination of a war fare between renters and rentees that began with our entry into the World War. Congress, however, put the brakes on sky-rockethng rentals at that time by declaring a housing emergency anil providing a rent commission for the District of Columbia with power to regulate rentals. This commission, under fire by District landlords, has been con tinued from year to year by Con gress. But recent court decisions adverse to the local rent act and the powers of the commission have given the property owners courage and the flood .of dispossess notices is their declaration of war. That it may he an intense and dramatic battle is indicated by the rallying of threatened renters into a “ Tenants’ League," sworn to re sist the demands of their landlords to the limit. Preparatory to the “zero hour” for battle this organization has applied for permission to erect tents in the eclipse, a large open park space immediately south of the White House, for the housing of members who suddenly find themselves and their possessions in the streets. These grounds were thrown open, a year ago, for teirts to house thou sands of visiting Shriners during the national Shrine convention. Sec retary of War Weeks, however, says permission for such use by Shriners was specifically granted by Con gress, and that lacking congressional from the college Professor Shepperd will travel in Europe studying sheep and bacon hogs. , He will visit the homes of the var ious breeds of stock, especially sheep, and will talk with the old Scottish shepherds in order to get the secrets of success that have always influenc ed Scot sheep flocks. While in Great Britain lie expects also to see the homes and present herds on such famous breeding farms as those own ed by Robert Bakewell and Thomas Bates, the breeders who developed the Shorthorn breed and whoso theories and practices of selection ate still used by the breeders today. In France he will study the Ham bouiilct sheep flocks and the dcylop- THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE sanction similar use cannot be made of them for the relief of evicted renters. Weeks also says the army will not supply tents, blankets or cots in the landlord-tenant war, as was done at the time of the Shrine conclave. Undaunted by this, those who are defying eviction are obtaining per mission to place tents on vacant sites and are seeking tents and equipment for a long siege. This situation develops at a time when there is admittedly an ade quate supply of apartments and homes in Washington. It is not due to a housing shortage. It is the price being charged for rental property that has brought the crisis, tenants declaring they can not and will not pay higher rents, while landlords insist on jacking up rentals to new high levels. , The average price of an apartment room in Washington today, accord ing to rent commission’s figures, is $55 per month. That makes a three rooin apartment cost $lO5, a five room suite $175. In the face of these rentals a government clerk trying to raise a family in Washing ton becomes perforce a financial ex pert. Otherwise he simply can’t “get by.” Members of the rent commission declare that Washington landlords are agreed in a policy preferring to rent only two-thirds of their apart ments at high rentals rather than all at a moderate rate which would produce the same gross return. In addition to this, the crowding of families of from three to five people into “davinette” and “cab inottc” apartments of two or three little rooms is already producing an unwholesome condition socially and physically. These are the things that have decided tenants on a definite and determined campaign of resistance. “We’ll fight it out on this line if we freeze all winter,” is the slogan lof the Tenant League battalion. ment and history of that breed on the government farms. Mr. Shepperd has been appointed collaborator for the U. S. department of agriculture to spend a month or so in Denmark studying the breed ing' and management of the special type of bacon hog from which that country supplies a superior quality of bacon for the London market. The Shepperds will spend the first part of t'licir trip on a Mediterranean cruise visiting Gibraltar, Tripoli, Egypt, Greece and Italy. “We will leave the company at Naples,” said Mr. .Shepperd, “and visit Venice, Rome und other inter esting places, including perhaps a trip up to Switzerland, returning to Naples about the middle of Febru ary.’ GOLD IS WHERE YOU FIND IT Christchurch, New Zealand, Nov. *l.—A large gold bearing reef at the foot of Mount Tarawera was discov ered in a peculiar manner. It seems some hunters shot a wild pig whose body, in falling, dislodged a piece of stone at the eilge of a* river. Thus was revealed the glitter of gold, and the hunters rapidly un covered a deposit.

Big Box 35 cents. —Adv. mrs.lucyWells ONLY SHERIFF IN ENGLAND Canterbury, England, Nov. 4.—This ancient cathedral city has just re vived a custom of medieval times by conferring the office of sheriff upon a woman. Incidentally the recipient of the honor, Mrs. Lucy Green Wells, the wife of a local tailor, has the dis tinction of being the only woman in England to hold such an olfice. “My chief duty as sheriff,” Mrs. Wells said recently, “is to appear with the mayor and councillors on special occasions wearing my purple robe, with the silver chain of office lound my neck. “Nowadays the under-sheriff is re sponsible for most of the actual work in connection with the office, but there are still certain functions I perform. If a Canterbury man had io be hanged, for instance, f believe 1 should have to sign the document certifying that the execution had been properly Carried out.” There were women sheriffs aplenty in the middle ages, and in those days (hey had to shoulder heavy fiscal, military and administrative burdens. One of the first notable women of the middle ages to hold the office was Ella, Countess of Salisbury, who was sheriff of Wiltshire until she em braced religion and retired to the Abbey of Lacoek. ISLANDERS ARE HAPPY London, Nov. 4.—Hayling Island is about the only place in England where there is no unemployment. The island, in the Southampton area, has a prosperous population of about :3,000 and at present no one there is receiving a penny from the national unemployment fund. The men and women of the island are all busy in the fields, in the fishing grounds and flic shops. The mackerel season, which is just over, has been the best in years and the harvest, unlike the rest of England, is bountiful. There arc plenty of visitors on the island and the inhabitants are in a state of fi nancial exuberancy. • The islanders also differ from their mainland compatriots in that they would rather live in the coun try than in the town. Last year the population of one of the tw towns on the island dropped from 800 to 500 because the price of farm products went up. FOOTBALL EXCURSIONS!

ARGENTINE BREEDING POLO PONIES Buenos Aires, Nov. 4.—The Argen tine polo ponies which contributed so much to the victory of the Ar gentine four in the Olympic polo championship, are the product of four or five generations of crossing “criollo,” or native, ponies with small sized English thoroughbreds. They are considered to combine the qual ities of endurance and cleverness of the native horse with the speed of the English product. Since the tour of Argentine polo players to England and the United States in 1923, when the players sold the mounts at a very large profit, the breeding of polo ponies has al most become an industry in Argen tina. For a number of years polo ponies have been produced here on four or five ranches, and have had! a sale in Europe, mostly in England. I The King of Spain has been one/good buyer of them. I Now, with the additional prestige gained by the Argentine product at j the Olympics, other ranches are de- j voting themselves to breeding. Sires and mothers accustomed to the large rodeos of the Argentine pampas are selected, for they are not afraid of being ridden down, especially if they have been used in parting cattle.
