FAIR HE BISMARCK TRIBUN: | Last Edition FORTY-NINTH YEAR BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY, JUNE 2, 1922 PRICE FIVE CENTS 71 GRADUATES OF HIGH SCHOOL GIVEN DIPLOMAS Largest Class in History of School Completes Four Year Course REV. F. M. ELIOT SPEAKS In Commencement Address He Emphasizes Hope Resting On Rising Generation The hope of the world lies in the rising generation declared Rev. Fre- derick M. Eliot, Unitarian Minister of St. Paul, Minn, last evening in opening his address to members of the high school graduating class at the city Auditorium. Supt. J. M. Mar- tin introduced the speaker of the eve- ning, who addressed a large audience. The Girls’ Glee Club opened the program with “June Rhapsody,” a lilting song of youth and happiness, followed by Rev. H. C. Postlethwaite of the Presbyterian church who made an impressive invocation. “A Madrid Festival” as presented at the piano by Misses Esther Larson and Mabel Nathan, was a charming addition to the program. At the close of Rev. Eliot’s address Supt. Martin presented the diplomas. Each graduate received a round of applause as he was handed his diplo- ma. After the presentation Cyril Grace played two violin solos, “Elegie” by Massenet and Godard’s “Berceuse” ac- companied on the piano by Miss Alta Jones. Mr. Grace interpreted his pieces with skill and feeling. The second number was received with particular favor by the audience. The class of ’22 completed the eve- ning’s program by singing the class song and giving the high school yells. After the benediction had been pro- nounced by Rev. Postlethwaite, an in- formal reception was held on the stage for the graduates in order that friends and parents might congratulate mem- bers of the graduating class. Hope in Young People “Jt is with the young people who are today in our schools and colleges that rests the hope of the world. “Those who are today in command of our civilization are not very proud of what they have done and are doing. It is for the new generation to make over the world. If there is one thing for which we have the right to look to the young today, it is for leader- ship,” stated Rev. Eliot emphatical- I i vuWe expect leadership from. the young. In a. Democracy leadership does not mean leadership by a few men, such as Edison ‘or Roosevelt. Those kind of leaders are so unusual that we cannot expect, them often, but wwe can expect a leadership which is just as great in business, in profes- sions, and in the humbler works to be performed in this world. We particu- larly need leadership in the families. In this country it can come and does come from the humble as well as from the high. Leadership is the thing that all the world needs. Asia, Europe, and this country, all are calling for leaders.” Reverend Eliot declared that he thought that at no time was there better prospects for leaders than the present. Our schools, our colleges, and educational institutions are helping to prepare them. The most essential training, however, for leadership con- sists in “self-training” asserted the speaker. Must Learn For Selves “No schools, college, or teachers can give this. Each and every one must learn for himself. The best teacher is the boy or girl himself. No teacher can teach anything unless the person instructed wishes to learn. Books are also a great helo to the person who is trying to instruct him- self. “In the older countries, there is a class which is supposed to provide leaders. In a Democracy leaders come from every class. The responsibility of every one in a Democracy is greater than in an autocracy. All the young must make themselves leaders, they must train themselves. “The three qualities for leadership in a Democracy are: responsibility, discipline, and service to humanity. “The responsibility of leadership comes to the man who knows. Men and women must have knowledge, knowledge which is carefully thought over. In moments of stress the people turn to the man with knowledge. With-} out knowledge true leadership can- not exist. Trained men who have ac- quired knowledge can contribute the} highest things to a country. “The only road to knowledge is the; old way of asking questions. The! younger generation has sometimes been accused of asking to many ques- tions. They cannot ask too many,”! declared Reverend Eliot. | Discipline is Necessary “Discipline is something which the! young are supposed to fight shy of! in this day and age,” said the speak-/ er. “The man who is’ master of him- self is well disciplined. He knows how) to get team works, and how to work) | “The man who is public spirited. | the man who will foresake personal) gains for the welfare of the public is; ” the man who is in demand today,’ continued Mr. Eliot. ay “T believe that the spirit of public service is inherent in the human b ing. I believe that it comes into life because it is in that great oversoul in life which molds and directs the hu- man universe. The spirit of service must enter into the lives of those who would be leaders,” said Reverend Eliot near the close of his address. | “If you try in practice to live the ® |Judge Horner as the date for his de- jage plan.

Pamphlets Being Mailed Out Within Week After Presses Start Grinding, and Delay by County Auditors Is Only Thing That Will Prevent En- tire 250,000 Copics Being Mailed Out Well Within the Statutory Time The state publicity pamphlet, for the primary election of June 28, was out today. There are 250,000 copies of the pamphlet to be mailed, the law providing it shall go to every vot- er in the state. Presses of the Tri- pune will grind steadily until the pamphlet mailing is completed. Remarkably fast itme was made on the pamphlet. It con- sists of 32 pages and cover and contains many pictures of candi- dates. Within one week after the , presses started to grind the book- let had been bound and _ copies were being mailed out. The fast time was made possible by the use of two big cylinder presses, one of them an automatic cylin- *“der feed, the only one of its kind in the state. Between 20 and 30 different employes were required in various stages of the work. The Bismarck postoffice department has placed a special detail in the mailing room of the Tribune company to get the pamphlet out. They will work practically day and night. Only delay in county auditors forwarding their mailing lists to the secretary of state will delay any portion of the 250,000 copies beyond the statutory time Nine of the county auditors have not yet complied with the requirement to furnish the mailing lists. Much credit is given the binding department for their neat work. COMPROMISE IN MATHILDE'S CASE Matter of Marriage To Go Before Court Chicago, June 2.—Contending fac- tions of the erstwhile household of Harold F. McCormick were committed to a policy of compromise today over the romantic affairs of Mathilde Mc- Cormick and her former riding mas- tea, Max Oser, Swiss horseman of Zurich. Tomorrow was set by Probate Mrs. McCormick’s petition ion to halt the marri- cision on for an injun double role of father and guardian, has agreed to withhold consent of the marriage until Saturday. Undaunted by legal complications and charges made by Mrs. McCormick: that he is a fortune hunter with de- signs on both the McCormick and Rockefeller millions Oser in reports from Zurich is said to be proceeding with plans for the marriage.

Entire Stretch East of Bismarck This Year The Red Trail east of Bismarck to the county line will be gravelled this summer in all places where the road is not now gravelled, according to E. G. Patterson, chairman of the board of county commissioners. The commissioners met here yesterday afternoon and discussed various pha- ses of the county business. Today they took a trip north viewing some road work. Gravel is now being placed on the Red Trail around Menoken, in spots that were low. A large force of men are working on a considerable stretch. The road is' very rough now because of the.work being done, but it is hoped to have it in good shape’ soon, it is stated. It is estimated that’more than 20 miles of the trail east of Bismarck needs gravelling. Because of the de- cline in cost of road work the com- missioners want to do all the work possible this summer on the trail, ac- cording to the board chairman. In ad- PRICE OF COAL STRIKE RESULT While Prices Are Increased in Chicago Secretary Hoover Gets Price Agreement $3.50 PER TON AT MINE This Basic Price is Agreed Upon - By the Bituminous Opera- tors with Hoover Chicago, June 2.—Increases of 25 to 50 cents a ton for coal on the retail market yesterday were fore-runners of further advances after existing supplies are exhausted, according to leading dealers today. Retailers predicted that West Vir- ginia coal would go to $9.00 a ton without a few days, an advance of $1.75. AGREEMENT PROVIDED Washington, June 2.—With confer- ences looking to a price agreement for their districts still to be held with the operators of producing fields in Pennsylvania, Secretary Hoover has secured agreement with operators pro- ducing 80 percent of the bituminous coal being mixed to a maximum price of $3.50 a ton at the mine for the duration of the strike. In purchasing the coal the prices no affecting coal under contract con- samers can assure themselves a square deal, Mr. Hoover sid, by checking freight rates together with the maxi- mum price. established and making proper allowance of retail distribu- tion costs. Consumers not receiving square treatment as to prices may appeal to the Department of Com- merce, he said, with assurance that an inquiry into their cases will be institu- 3 BALLOONS ARE LEFT IN NATIONAL RAGE One of Them, Is Sighted in.

EXPANSION OF STATE OFFICES Insurance Department Off Capitol Corridor OTHER SPACE Dakota Building to Provide For Grain Department partments, through growth of' gov- ernmental activities, creation of new departments or increase in the size of offices to care for additional busi- ness of a growing state is bringing North Dakota up against the proposi- tion of providing adequate facilities. Work was begun yesterday rear- ranging offices on the third floor of the Bank of North Dakota building in order to make room for the new grain department of the state railroad com- mission, which has been established here and which is to be in full opera- tion with the removal of grain inspec- tion from Fargo. Work also was begun on a new fil- ing room for the state hail insurance department in the capitol. Part of the corridor is to be enclosed in order to provide for the additional room need- ed for the storage of additional rec- ords of this department. If the hail insurance department is kept in opera- tion the natural development of the business will soon demand still more room, it is said. There was much opposition voiced in the legislature over the appropri- ations for the new Memorial Build. ing, which is now in the course of construction. It appears, however, that even this building will not be suffi- cient to relieve the crowding of the state capitol. The building may be finished with the present money available so that the state: historical library can be moved into it and the Adjutant-General’s department given space yet this year. The additional room thus made available in the capi- tol will not do more than relieve some of the offices in the capitol which now have more employes within a given space than is the usual rule, it is said. It was planned at first to put the; new grain department of the railroad} commission on the fourth floor of the; Bank of North Dakota building, but the commission asked the board of administration to find room on the all of the commission officers in close contact. It is possible that later the Motor Vehicle Registration Depart- iment may be moved to the fourth oor. 5 CANDIDATES FOR CITY BOARD W. F. Jones Announces Self For Position W. F.

ARTICLE IN MAGAZINE, - SPRAGUE NAMED GUARD MAJOR ee Is CROP OUTLOOK BEST IN YEARS, SAY REPORTS FROM OVER STATE TO LEADER OF COUNTY AGENTS Heading Out, Alfalfa Ready to Cut and Practically All Grain Is Seeded THE CROPS RIPEN Quick Growth, However, Re- duces Resistance of the Crops Of the State Fargo, N. D. June 2.—With winter rye heading out everywhere through- out the state, with alfalfa ready for cutting this week in many counties and practically all grains seeded, and much of the corn and potato planting one, crop conditions have seldom been more promising, throughout the whole state on June ‘ according to a re- port from county agents of many of the counties made to J. W. Haw, coun- ty agent leader. He pointed out, however, that June wnd July are the months that make the crop and also that the present crops are of quick growth resulting from heavy rains and therefore not well qualified to withstand a drouth. _He also declared that crops were ripening evenly over the whole of the state from south to north, and that this condition may mean a labor scar- city during harvest time. __ Cut worms are doing some damage in the Slope country although on the whole this section looks more promis- ing this year than for many years past, he declared. He also said there would be some damage from excessive mois- ture, especially in the eastern part of the state. The semi-monthly crop report of J. G. Diamond, of the U. Ss. Bureau of Estimates, Grand Forks, says: “Frequent rains in North Dakota during the past two weeks have fav- ored growing grains, pastures and hay crops, although interfering to some extent with corn and potato plantings. Growing conditions on the whole are considered as very satisfac- tory, the weather of the month just ended having been favorable, both with respect to moisture and the ab- sence of frost damage. Innundation has resulted in some crop damage in the low spots of the Valley counties and a few reports of cut worm dam- age have come from the southwest. Although high winds were reported on several occasions in western counties, the damage was small owing to the soils being well wetted and set. A light rainfall in the northwestern sec- tion during the first part of the peri- od resulted in crusting the top soil of small grain seedings and necessitated dragging, but subsequent rains were heavier and conditions at the end of the month generally satisfactory. i Rye Outlook Rye is starting to head in many eastern and southern counties and the stand is everywhere reported well above average. Spring wheat owing to the variation in time of seeding has made a somewhat uneven pro- gress, but the condition of the crop is generally considered satisfactory, the plant being well rooted and of good color. There is some fear of an in- crease in weedy fields in the Valley and southeast counties and a few re- ports note cut worm damage in the southwest district. Oats and barley excepting the late varieties are most- ly in and starting nicely, having for most part germinated in time to be benefited by the rains of the latter pare t ite month: “Potato planting was general b; the end of the month having! een delayed by the rains, Some plantings in the Valley counties were innundated shortly after seeding and damage will result. The earlier seedings in other sections are reported to be mak- ing a favorable start although warm- . er weather in the opinion of report- ers is now needed to insure a general good start of the crop. Corn planting has likewise been held up by the rains although there are many reports of seedings completed and_ favorable weather in early June will probably see most of the intended acreage in, as corn is largely raised as a farm feed. “Flax seeding was general by the end of the month, reports indicating that more interest is being taken in flax this year, with the prospect of an increased acreage in several of the northern and northwestern counties. A limiting factor in the flax situation is a general lack of farm seed due to the heavy reduction in the crop last year and the financial situation in many localities. i; Hay Crops Good Pastures and hay crops continue to make excellent progress and alfalfa and sweet clover stands are reported to be well above the average in all sections. The outlook thus far prom- ises plenty of green feed and a some- what earlier hay crop. Wild grasses have likewise made good progress with a larger potential acreage for sulting. Tneldent fo ;the improvement in pastures, livestock generally i: = ported to be doing well. ies Farm work generally is well in hand and considerable field work has been Possible between the month’s rains. Reports indicate a somewhat larger acreage of summer fallow lands and many local campaigns are being directed against the weed menace. Gopher campaigns are also reported from several counties.
