TWO MURDERED MEN FOUND ON N. DAK. FARM Beaten Over Heads and Then Shot, Men Discovered in Stubble-field Near Rolla AUTO ROBBERY MOTIVE? Rolla, N. D., Sept. 22—The bodies of two unidentified men, evidently murdered by being beaten over the heads with a hammer and then shot! in the back with, a pistol, were dis- covered in a stubble field about 9 miles east of here Monday noon. The find was made by Henry Carl- son, a farmer boy of 18. The county coroner of Towner county was summoned and inquest held on the spot, the verdict being that death was due to violence. The men had evidently been dead less than 24 hours as one man’s watch was still running. A pistol case and a bloody hammer was found. Automobile tracks turning in the road at this point together with the fact that an air guage gun was found in the pocket of one of the men indicated that auto- mobile theft was a motive for the rob- bery. The men were both about 30 years old and fairly well dressed. NELSON DECLARES FOR BURTNESS Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. 22.—Nick Nelson of Emerado, Democratic nom- inee for congressman from the first district, in Grand Forks Saturday, declared for O. B. Burtness for con- gress in the first district. Mr. Nel-. son announced some time ago that in the event of O. B. Burtness’ elec- tion over John M. Baer that he would not make a fight against the Repub-; jcalling of the assembly to order by lican nominee. © Saturday he repeated that declaration. “I don’t know yet what they will do with me. Being the, successful Democratic nominee, I suppose my name will go on the ballot and I will get a few votes, but I will not make a fight,” said Mr. Nelson. “Mr. Burt- ness made a hard and successful fight in the primaries at considerable expense and the loss of much valua- ble time, and I feel that he is en- ‘North titled to the election this fall. I don’t intend to make a fight. In the first place, I have not been as well as I should have been this summer, but over and: above this is the fact that Mr. Burtness was successful in the Republican primaries, and I feel that he should be elected.

ELTINGE ORGAN BRING PLACED BY AN EXPERT New $25,000 Instrument will be Ready for Use in About Two Weeks The Eltinge theatre is to have a $25,000 pipe organ in operation in a short time. The organ was especially designed for the local theatre by the Robért-Morton company, a division of the American Photo Player company of Chicago, Ill. C. W. Woenee, of New Orleans, ar- rived in the city yesterday and work of installing the organ was immedi- ately begun. The organ is built of oak, with trimmings of mahoganized cherry and birch. It is operated from a detached console, which is connected by means of a 60-foot cable. The in- struments are enclosed in a sound proof expression chamber under the control of the performer, permitting him to obtain almost unlimited tonal flexibility. The pitch of the organ is philhar- End your Tire Tr o ubles by putting on a set of State Librarians DAYTON Open Convention te pa Jamestown, N.

OSTRANDER “Of all gasoline manufactured in the United States 67.6% is used by auto- motive vehicles.” (Oil News, Sept. 5, 1920, page 42.) , = “Of all the motor vehicles in use in the Middle West, 65% of the total regis- tration are farmer-owned,”: (Arthur Capper Address, 1920.) Gasoline is tak- ing the place of vanishing man-power on the farms; and not only does it re- duce the man-hours required to pro-) duce a given amount of food, but it also reduces the actual cost of production, and this despite the advancing price of gasoline. (H. W. Quaintance “Influ- ence of Farm Machinery on Produc- tion,” Power Wagon Reference Book 1920, page 561.) Authorities agree that gasoline is a most im- portant factor in the production and distribu- tion of food products. ‘When gasoline is employed universally to in- crease the efficiency of man-power on the farm, we may look for vastly ihcreased pro- duction and a consequent decrease in the cost of producing food. In the eleven Middle West states served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) more than 100,000 tractors are in use, and the umber is increasing rapidly, In the states served by the -ihdard Oil Company (Indiana) the number of farmer- owned motor trucks is as follows; ——-. 1,733 ———-- 2,773 2,261 1/548 501 1,708 Michigan .___.__.... 1,636 Minnesota... 1,255 Missouri —___._.__.. 2,065 ‘Wisconsin wane 1,465 Oklahoma onan |. 1823 Total 17,667 (U.

To supply this vast network of stations, trucks, tank wagons, etc., the Manufacturing Depart- ment is bending its energies to devise means for producing an ever increasing percentage of gasoline from the crude oil obtainable, and at the same time to keep users of other products of petroleum supplied with their needs.
