He had a dream of being great in as well as an outstanding ter in life. And so, at heavy expense and much time, he erected a tomb for himself, one of the most impressive in alb Mexico. But after Villa was murdered re- cently, officials refused to permit his body to be carried here. He lies in CITY, CAPITAL OF THE NORTH NAME. Parrall, and the great tomb remains untenanted, It stands in a cemetery in the heart of the capital of the state of Chihuahua, and may be seen for miles. The Rodriguez tomb is just north of it. Scores of others surround it, most of them bearing inscriptions dating back to 1700. It is possible that some time a future administration will permit transfer of the body. But that seems a remote possibility now. 58 BOYS, GIRLS WORK FOR BAND; BENEFIT GIVEN TO HELP THEM Fifty-eight, boys and girls ‘of Bis- marck have been working hard during the hot summer months | preparing themselves to entertain the people of the city with fine band music.

CORPORATION Would Revive Organization Which Functioned Daring , War to Handle Surplus Fargo, Aug. 2.—More than 500 far- mers and business men, representing 20 counties in Nofth Dakota, gath- ered in the Fargo auditorium to-eon- sider the crisis confronting _ the wheat growers, adopted resolytions calling upon President Harding to cal] an extra session of congress m- mediately for the purpose of) reviv- ing the U. S, Grain Corporation or creating some other governmental agency to handle the wheat crop. The resolutions were unanimously adopted as reported by a committee of 15, just before the conference ad- journed last evening after a day ‘of serious discussion of the predicam in which the northwestern states al in because of the ruinously low price of wheat at the present time. The organization committee was author- ized to call a joint conference of states. Unlike other conferences of this kind, the Fargo meeting diq not stop with the adoption of resolutions but took steps to follow up the decision of the conference with thorough or- ganization work. Two additional committees were appointed—one to organize every county in the state to back up the demand voiced by the meeting here and another to co-oper- ate with similar organizations in other states and to represent’ North Dakota at any regional or national gatherings of this nature that may be called in the immediate fature. designated as an affiliation committee. The organization committee of 15° members was named as follows: Organization Committee. H, C. Halvorson of Minot, ehair- man, Frayk, Heimes, \Valley City, Walter Reed, Fargo; A.J. Scott; Grand Forks; J. A. Buchanan, Stuts man county; James Gronna, Lakota; George Allen, Pleasant Lake; E. A. Bowman, Kulm; J. E. Reeder, Town- er; D. W. Mottheir, Fessenden; Nels Kinkle, Fessenden; A. C, Peterson, New Rockford. This. committee met last evening: and organized for the organization drive which the conference urged be started in every country in the state. An executive committee was elected consisting of H. L, Halvorson of Mi- not, president; Jas Gronna of Lakota, vice president; R. B. Fuller of Fargo, secretary of the North Dakota Farm Bureau Federation, secretary, the other ex officio members being Frank Heimes, Walter Reed, Gerald P. Nye, A. J, Scott and A. J.

Beiseker, W Peterson, Eddy, and Gov, R. tos, Burleigh: The consensus of the meeting was that this ement must not be co! fineg to North Dakota’ if anything is to be accomplished but must be car- ried: into other states. Almost all the speakers at Tuesday’s gathering expressed the opinion that North Da- kota could not accomplish anything along this line alone but that all the wheat growing states of the union must work in unison if enough press- ure is to be brought to bear upon the president and congress to secure de- sired actiort, HOPES STATE FLOUR MILL IS SUCCESS Grand Forks, N.

He declared the board members would do all that was possible’ to make the industry. a success. Holding ‘its first meeting since it ‘was appointed by Governor Nestos, the board devoted itself entirely to matters connected with its own or- ganization and practically nothing was done in connection with the ment of the plant.” An audit of. the establishment is now being made under the. direction of the state industriel commission, | fact the results of which will be presented to the: board a: ‘as it is com- .

An informal statement by Bri- gadier-General Sawyer, his personal cian, gave the executive's con- dition at 7:55 a. m. as follows: ‘Tempe! pulse 11 Dr. Sawyer’s announcement set at rest apprehension which had been ex- pressed by some of the watchers out- side the presidential suite several es during the night. These Were ed on the fact that a light was observed on in the president's bed- room where none had burned pre- viously since he came here. It was learned that Commandtr Boone, who had spent nearly the entire night in, the sick room, had caused the light to be kept burning. joyrishment Sufficient. The anfount of’ nourishment taken by thp chief executive yesterday still was ‘small but as.one of the physi ns said, “quite sufficient.” It con- tinued to consist of milk, soft boiled eggs, a little toast, and fruit juices, Elimination was satisfactory and for the first time was described as oes, ular.” Another indication of progress was that he received first visitor in two days, Mrs, E. Remsburg, of Santa Ana, Cal., hi . She, with dN Marie, arrived in San Francisco early in the day and shortly before noon she spent several minutes in her brother’s room, but was requested by the ph; jans.not, to talk with him as it might tire him. Mrs, Harding, Mrs. Remsburg said, ood the strain very well, ned from other sources that Brigadier General Sawyer, the presi- | N. dent’s personal physician, and Lieu- tenant Commander Joel T. Boone, as- sistant to Dr. Sawyer, are not un- mindful that with the lessening of the strain, reactive effects of the president’s illness might be felt by Mrs. Harding, who for the past year has been in far from normal health Attorney General Daugherty also arrived during the day, having hur- tied here from Seattle when the president's illness became alarming. Discuss Future Plans. Plans for the future following the restoration of the president's strength continued to be discussed by members of the party, and the plan seemingly most favored at this stage is for a return to Washington by what is commonly known as the over- land route as soon as the president is well able to travel. There was no attempt to fix any e aoe departure from San Fran- KANSAN OUT FOR PRESIDENT Governor Davis Admits That He’s Candidate Governor J, Davis, returned from Chicago quite thoroughly convinced, | Li he admits that “his hat is-in the ring” as a candidate for the Demo- cratic nomination for president, “Before I went te Chicago last Sun- T had not given the matter much erious thought,” Governor Davis said late today, “But what surprised me was that concerning the candidacy announced here by my Kansas friends had preceded me. Even though I did not know it there, I must admit that my hat is in the ring. So it’s up to me to acquiesce and do what little I can to help. I feel confident that once the Kansas Democrats know I’m a candidate they will back'me up with 8 solid delegation.

YES, JULY WAS UNUSUAL MONTH; WEATHER BUREAU REPORT SHOWS IT “My, a glad July's over—it cer- beg ag nan unusual month,” is‘an expression heard on the streets yesterda: Well, let’s see—the monthly met- erological summary of the weather bureau was issued today. The man who said July was hotter than usual is right. The temperature averaged 3.6 degre daily higher than’ the age for the last 49 years. But it didn't reach the highest July mark; nor the lowest July rk. during that period. Old Sol just kept up a high batting average all month ‘The highest in suly was 9%, on the Sth; "the lowest 52, on the first. The highest temperature ever on record in July is 108 and the lowest 32. ‘The weather record shows that since January 1 the temperature has ‘an average daily excess of 1,78 degrees, “It didn’t rain very much,” some remarked. But it did. It rained 4.77|5* inches in July, and this was 2 inches more than the average for the month. In 1922 it rained 2.77 inches, in 1921, 218 inches, in 1920,:2.72 inches, in|} 1919, 0.76 inches. However, the weather bureau shows} an accumulated deficiency of precipi- tation since January 1 of: 1.83 inche: but at that | very low. The percentage of sunshine out of a possible 100’percent. was 67, which keeps up North Dakota’s name as the “Sunshine State.” This, how- ever, was 4 percent below normal. Thunderstorms were frequent.

This scems to be the conclusion drawn from the explanation Pre- mier Baldwin and Lord Curzen, the foreign secretary, gave par- Nament today of the position te- sulting from the latest British attempt to lay the foundation of a United policy. The mintoters revealed that the test communication from tance and ae furnished no mate: an allied answer to the pipe reparations pro- posals and they brought to light a surprising deadlock in the corres- pondence. Neither reply, they stated, mentions the draft of the reply to Germany which Great Britain submitted to France and Belgium. Evidently the French and jum communications were confined to dealing with Great Britain's covering note or dealt only in generalities. London, Aug. 2—(By the A. P.)— Prime Minister Baldwin joined with Lord Curzon, the foreign secretary in informing Parliament today that, the replies by France and Belgium to the British reparations note seem to hold out no prospect of a settle, ment in the Ruhr situation in the near future, nor the opening of « discussion regarding reparations, Great Britain had submitted to the other allies the draft of a joint al. lied reply to the last German repara- tions communication and Great Bri- tain. attached very great importance to the dispatch of such a reply, the id. Neither France nor however, had mentioned ir to the Bri- tish communication and Great Bri- tain, to the regret of her govern- ment, was unable to find in these re- sponses sufficient material for a joint allied reply to Germany. Realizing the danger of the Europ- ean situation sinking into irretrieva ble ruin during prolonged negotia- tions among the allies the British government, holding that the pro- blems cannot be evaded, the govern- said, had invited the allies t: agree to the publication of the’) communication in the hope that the: documents, together with those pr: pared by Great Britain, may convin the world of the necessity of prom: and united action. Recite Efforta The Prime Minister in the Hous of Commons and Lord Curzon in the House of Lords began their identic:! addresses by reciting the history of the recent negotiations. They then broke new ground in this manner: “The government drew up a draft reply which they forwarded on July 26 with a covering note to the alli: governments. “In this reply the British govern- ment dealt with the various proposs!; contained in the German memoran dum and they expressed the opiniv» that while nothing should be donc which was inconsistent with the sti pulations of the''treaty: of Versaille: advantages would ‘be derived by xn examination by impartial expe: i cooperation, with the reparations commission into Germany’s capacity to pay. . “As regards the guarantees offered by the German government the Brit- ~ ish went on to point out in the draft reply that the economic value of any such guarantees must largely depend upon factbrs of which the Germi: government, in its memorandum, bai! made no mention but as stabilizinz the mark ‘and balancing the German budget and that no guarantees cou) be effective unless provision wer: made for some form of internatio; control over the German financial i:/i ministration.” ITALY WITH BRITISH London, Aug. 3—Marquis Curzon, the foreign secretary, informed the © House of. Lords today that Italy hud not sent 9 reply ‘to the recent Brit repttations note but nevertheless expressed herself as approving general Great Britain’s proposals. She regretted that Great’ Brituin could not find in the French ‘suc Belgian responses enough materia! . for sending an allied reply to ‘ih> it G in note. Great Britain has attached very ‘great importan: to the Ginpatch of such @ reply. ~ Lot in tl A Ca ee — i eof Lona today thatthe don July 4, 5,7, 14,7 ernment pear documents (Sint ie Tate ee
