W. Tracy, Manager of Na- tional Parks Highway, Re- ports on Inspection Trip The country is on wheels through- out the west tNs year. And a larger number of these automobile tourists are choosing to travel through North Dakota to the national parks and the Pacific Coast than ever before. A checkup on. the tourist traffic on the National Parks highway shows an increase of -from. 50 to 70 per- cent over that of last yeur, accord- ing,to A. W. Tracy of the National Parks highway association, who has just retyrned from a trip of inspec- tion, going as far west as Billings. Montana. “Especially encouraging is the fact that there is a decided increase in the traffic from the west, going east.” said Mr, Tracy, Mr. Tracy found during his tour that a large number of the tourists from St. Paul, Minneapolis and Chi- cago had been routed over the Na- tional Parks highway by information bureaus in those cities, and that, five huge attractively designed billboards have been placed near Fallen and Terry, Mont., to direct traffic from Margaret, Alo and Chepu, the “white Indian” children and, at rear, Richard Marsh, explorer, with “regular” Indian, BY STEPHEN HANNAGAN NEA Service Writer mobs who rush taxicabs and hotel for a sight of these strange, the west over this highway, in pre-] New York, July 11.—Three jungie es from Panama. ference to southern routes. children—“white Ind?ans”—brought rguerite, Alo and Chepu, the Tourists statistics in western North | to the world’s center of civilizztion,| three white: Indians, do not Dakota towns showed that as many] have shown no interest in the un-|among themselves, or to the five as 260 cars have passed through | usual sights about them. bronzed members of the troupe. a town within @4 hours, bound for} Tall buildings, subways, rcshing|The whites, are not interested. luxurious white| They merely follow directions. distant parts of the United States | automobiles, beds, Medora’s tourist camp has registered] men for servants, :lo not change} Marguerite has iearned to use a up to 115 cars in one night. their staring gaze. powder puff and occasionally she Local Camp Busy They are members of a group of| weeps tears of temperament.

Many High Officials Present Much of official Washington, in- cluding eight cabinet members, the speaker of the nation’s house of rep- resentatives and the govérnors of two states attended the services. The party from Washington came in the closely guarded train which was halt- ed at N&rthampton for services in the Edwards Congregational church of which Calvin was a member. The funeral party arrived at the Ludlow railroad station, 13 miles away, halted as the six marines from the presidential yacht Mayflower, who had guarded the boy’s bier con- stantly in Washington and on the train, carried the casket to a wuit- ing hearse. Then the procession, more than a mile long, drove over the long road among the hills to the burial ground. The party was forced to walk up the hillside to the spot where the grave had been. prepared. After the marines had lowered the casket into place, a mixed quartet sang “My Faith Looks Up To Thee.” The Rev. Kenneth B. Wells, Northampton pas- tor, who had accepted Calvin into the church read a few short passages from the Bible, then offered a vref prayer..

P.)— The proposal of Premiers Mac- Donald and Herriot to appoint an American representative on the reparations commission when deal- ing with possible German jdefalca- tion under the Dawes report is the subject of further editorial com- ment this morning, but there is little confidence that such an ap- pointment is likely. The Times says the suggestion “is rather like the counsel of despair, since it is difficult to imagine that the United States government in the present circum- stances could think of reversing its declared policies with reference to the treaty of Versailles and all of its organs.” The Morning Post says, “It is ab surd for Europe to look to Amer- ica unless to put forward a business proposition. The Americans are business people, not idealists. If Europe means business, then Amer- ica will come in, whoever wins the presidential election, and the only way in which Europe can do busi- ness is by an understanding be- tween Great Britain and France.” REV. J.G. SMITH HEADS LEAGUE Officers of Epworth League Are Chosen WHAT-REPORTS DISCLOSE North Dakota may enjoy bounti- ful crops this year while other states im the nation are experienc- ing the poorest crops in years, ac- cording to reports at the United States Weather Bureau here, According to the records of the United States Department of Agri- culture, crop conditions, taking the United States as a whole, ure the poorest in 12 years. Reports receiv- ed from field workers show that the composite condition of all growing crops on June 1 was lower than on any corresponding date in more than 12 years, with cool] weather and rains in May in most areas retarding farm work and causing slow germination and growth of crops. In many sec- tions there was much replanting necessary due to rot. Dry weather prevailed on the Pa- cifie Coast and May was hotter than during any previous May during the past twenty-seven years, and in Washington the crops are unusually poor. Wheat growers in Kansas are also facing an unprofitable season, field reports indicate. White field reports from North Dakota were used to compile these statistics, no other state in the Union enjoys such excellent crop prospects as North Dakota, unless perhaps in eastern Montana. Reports received at the local office Weather Bureau indi- cate that all parts of the state are in “excellent condition. Spring wheat, barley and rye are either headed or in the heading stage. The last named crop is beginning to rip- en in many sections. Flax condi- tions are excellent, the early sown being in blossom or boll stage in of good stand and color elsewhere. Corn is making rapid progress, with cultivation well advanced. No sec- tion of the state is suffering from lack of moisture, and crop prospects for the state as a whole are the best since 1915.

P.)—After a good night’s rest at his country home, the first since the Democratic convention opened, John W. Davis today arose at 8 o’clock and left at 9:30 o’clock by motor from Locust Valley to New York to tackle at once the problem of organization of the national committee and selection of a chair~ man to take charge of his campaign for the presidency. On arriving at the home of Frank L. Polk, former under-secretary of state, Mr. Davis conferred at length with Cordell Hull, the pres- ent chairman of the Democratic national committee, and other party leaders. Organization of the new national committee probably will not for- mally take place until after the notification ceremonies at which Mr. Davis will make his first pub- lic address on the issues of the election. But the nominee hopes to complete details of the organization of the party’s council in the next few days, since the protracted ses- sion of the convention has delayed the opening of the campaign be- yond the customary time. He intends to get as early a start as possible-and if, as he expects, the choice of a chairman is made before the end of next week, Mr. Davis will then take a vacation of about a fortnight in New England. McAdoo to Bolt All doubt about the attitude of William Jennings Bryan toward the head of the ticket seems to thave been dispelled by Mr. Bryan’s statement that his support will be forthcoming. Mr. Bryan and his brother, Governor Charles W. Bryan of Nebraska, nominee for vice-president, dined with Mr. Da- vis at the Polk residence: There remained some wonder as to the osition of W. G. McAdoo in the. campaign. The New York World today prints a front page story suggesting that Mr. McAdoo ma: form another party, possibly wi the aid of W. R. Hearst, whose newspapers have indicated that the. publisher is far from pleased with the choice of the Democratje~con- vention. Mr. McAdoo has main- tained silence since sending a tele- gram to Mr. Davis limited to the words: “Please accept my con- gratulatio; : Some of Mr. McAdoo’s friends, who doubt the suggestion of a bolt, point out that Mr. Davis has re- ceived .by wireless congratulations from Bernard Baruca, a warm sup- porter of McAdoo, of Miss Mar- garet Wilson, McAdoo’s sister-in- ‘|law, and other MeAdoo) partisans. $15,000 READY FOR N.
