Through their cooperation it has been made possible and it is issued to do them special honor as befits their in- augu into a great association. Although the Kiwanis organization has been functioning here for several weeks, it actually becomes a part of international Kiwanis this evening. i The event is not solely important for individual mem- bers, but for Bismarck also for this organization is dedi- cated to civic service of the highest type. The Capital City is a better place to live and do business in by reason of the Kiwanis. It means another driving force on the side of better citizenship — men of the highest type putting into practice the golden rule in business and private life. Visiting Kiwanians are welcome and Bismarck is hon- ored by their presence here today to see that this city is fittingly put on the Kiwanian map. Hail Kiwanians and good luck! WHO DELIVERED NORTH DAKOTA? Richard Barry writing in the New York Times recently states that North Dakota has been committed to Coolidge “either officially through state chairmen or unofficially through spokesmen recognized as practically authoritative.” With North Dakota are listed the following states as in the Coolidge column officially through state chairmen or un- cfficially through spokesmen: Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Kansas, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, Okla- homa, Texas, Utah, Wyoming, Alaska, District of Columbia, Porto Rico, Hawaii, Philippine Islands. These groups have the impressive total of 277 votes in the national conven- tion. ‘ — Just what. basis there is for the fact that North Dakota y will be found in the Coolidge column is not given. The | writer doubtless has failed to ascertain that there is a pres- idential primary and the state probably will go through the ) formality of endorsing some candidate who enters the pri- marie: |! Coolidge may refrain as did Harding from entering state ) presidential primaries relying upon the ability of hig field ‘leaders to deliver at Chicago. North Dakota has instructed in the past for La Follette nd Hiram Johnson, but when the final bandwagon rush ame, a majority usually went in for the winner as the law ‘is most flexible under which delegates go instructed. It is too early now, however, to say finally just what ‘any state will do in the presidential race.. Coolidge has ‘made an excellent impression to date, but sentiment has not yerystalized and will not until a few weeks before the con- vention. THRILLERS * Do you remember the old-time blood and thunder novels about the exploits of Deadwood Dick, Frank Merriwell, *Young and Old King Brady, Nick Carter, Fred Fearnot and ‘the Liberty Boys of ’76? peomlenses Dr. Frank P. O’Brien spent 26 years rounding up the | argest collection of these thrillers in existence.

They’ll probably be preserved as historical relics in the | sibrary of Leland Stanford University. ' Historical relics? Decidedly.

Haw! Giddap!” the Twins could hear him saying every now and then to his horses. “Gee! Haw! Giddap!” “What are they doing?” Nancy. “They are plowing the field to put in wheat,” answered Mister Dodger, “It grows some this fall, then it stays green under the snow all win- had asked That’s what call winter wheat.” “Giddap!” came Farmer Brown's voice across the fence again, and from where they stood, the children could see Charlie and Bob, the two ‘they See eeepc get © A-RA IT looKs Like IAN NOT “Hi ONLY SHORES , EXTRACT FROM THE ALBANY EVENING SUN BROKER RUNS AWAY WITH AC- TRESS Number of, Leading Citizens Left Holding The Bag nice big farm horses, doing their best to please their master and earn the bucket of oats they knew was waiting for them. Suddenly there was another sound, It went chug, chug, chug, Rattle, rattle, rattle, chug! “What's that?” asked Nick. Really, the Twins must have thought that Mister Dodger was the dictionary from the number of questions they asked him, But, as usual, he knew the ans- wer, for he said quickly, “That’s a tractor! Farmer Smith, on the next farm, does not use horses for his farm work any more. He does all his plowing and cutting and binding by an automobile machine caller a tractor. Come on! Do you want to see it?” | Of course, the Twins were eager |to, so all three went over to a fence corner, where they could watch both fields, And whether it was because they had on magie shoes or because they had a fairyman for company, I can- not say, but they soon discovered that the tractor was talking. Every “chug” was a word, and it was call- ing things to Charlie and Bob, the nice big brown farm horses. ‘“Good- ness alive! How slow you are!” it! said. “Why you started two hours before I did and I’ve really done twice as mueh as you have! There!

That evening when Charlie and Bob were munching their oats, the Twins heard Farmer Smith call over to Farmer Brown, “Hey, neighbor, my tractor broke down before I had my wheat field finished and it can’t be fixed for a week. Will you please lend me your team tomorrow?” “Sure!” said Farmer Brown iblig- ingly. “Mine’s all finished.” The Twins never could be sure, but Mister Dodger said it was a fact that Bob winked solemnly at. Charlie and Charlie winked -back just as solemnly at Bob.

A’ meeting wilt held in the very near future and’ organization willbe Harry Ellington, the well-known broker, is missing, and with him has gone Edith Chapman, it was learned this morning. Ellington has been flying high for ‘a number of months and there were many surmises and prophecies as to his finish. Q It was well known that Ellington was buying Lackawanna Steel iar] large blocks for his clients and yeé- terday, when the stock reached the highest point it has in years, a num- ber of his patrons telephoned and telegraphed him to sell. Last night around the club i men were talking of the killing they had made that day but from re. cent developments it looks as though Ellington was the only man . who made the killing. Frantie calls at his office only elicited the fact that Mr. Ellington was out of town’ for an indefinite period, and nothing could. be done in the way of busines until he re- turned. Harry Ellington has been a man about town for a number of years and at first stood very well in the community as a stock broker. Late- ly, however, sinister whispers have been going, around about him. Al- though he has a beautiful wife, he has been seen at all the best. res- taurants and hatels lately . with a minor moving picture actress called Edith Chapman. It is learned that he wi iso a large holder of stocks that have steadily been dropping for a month. FAMOUS | BRITISHER ON TAESE pi eAhoTangle®. The more conservative men with- drew their accounts from him months ago but some of his friends have stood by him and these have lost a great deal of money by their confidence in him, At this time it cannot be ascer- tained just who were the losers and how much money has been lost by Ellington’s defaleation but that it will mount!to nearly a half million dollars is the most conservative es- timate. Mrs. Ellington could not be seen this morning, whoever answered the telephone paying she was prostrated by the news. «Mr. John Alden Prescott, who has gatt one of Ellington's staunchest fiends, hlso could not be reached. Mrs. Prescott informed a reporter over the telephone that her husband had been rgiled to his mother’s bed- side by her sudden illness. Mr. Bullock, of the Acme Adver- tising Company, said he was sure, however, that Mr. Prescott had lost nothing in the crash as he had made it very plain to all his employes that gambling in stocks was taboo in his office. He stated that Mr. Prescott was one of his most valued department managers and he would not think for a moment that he could possibly disregard his wishes. (Copyright, 1923, NEA Service, Inc.)
