CORN AND DAIRY SHOW IS FAVORED HERE Many Citizens Express Them- selves as Being in Favor of Exposition WHAT CITIZENS THINK Expressions of Many Business Men in the City Are Given Tribune Sentiment among business men of the city is overwhelming in fav- or of action for an ‘ultural ex- position of sort in Bismarck. This is disclosed by numerous inter- views of Bismarck citizens today. While the ideas of business men differ in some respects as to the manner in which such an exposition or fair should be carried out, the general trend is for some real pro- position along this line. Those who have been strongly agitating a fair since the matter was brought to the head by the in- clusion of $11,000 in the county budget for a fair, want to organize a Burleigh County Agricultural] As- sociation, it being necessary under the law to organize in this manner to obtain county aid for such a fair. It is the intention, however, to make the fair larger in scope than a mere county fair, and the name of the North Dakota Corn wy and Dairy Show has been suggest-. ed. The success of the corn show has inspired the suggestion that it be included in a big exposition of ag- ricultural products, somewhat dif- ferent from an average run of a county fair, built on a broad and high plane, and emphasizing the agricultural possibilities of. Bur- leigh county and the Slope terri- tory. Following are expressions from numerous citizens who could be reached during the morning: Burt Finney—“This is the logical point for the state fair. Undoubt- edly we ought to develop a county fair, and work towards getting state aid, and eventually the state fair.” F. A. Lahr—“Burleigh county should have a county fair. We cannot start on too extensive a seale, but ought, gradually work it into a big thing.’ P. J. Meyer—“I’m on the fence in respect to a county fair. If we can get the man to run it that knows fairs, and how to make them succeed, J’d say go ahead with it. Personally I think the Corn Show bas greater possibilities than a "\fair.” Theodore Quanrud—“A fair in July, and a corn show in the winter is what I would advocate. Of course I am strongly in favor of having the fair.” F. E. Young—“I am very much in favor of a county fair for Bur- leigh county.” . Looks Good To Him Obert Olson—“It looks as if it angie be a big thing for Bismarck for Burleigh county. The county fair should be combined with the corn show, and a really big thing made of it for two or three days, without creating too much expense at first. It should be worked up into paying its own way.” H. T. Murphy—“A fair is neces- sary to any county, and September is the logical time for having it, combining it with the corn show, which we have been having. It will grow into an important fea- ture in Burleigh county.” L. S. Craswell—“Any_undertak- ing that will bring people into the city and at the same time some- thing of value to those that come would be a good thing.” George H. Russ, Jr.—‘“A real agricultural and stock show would benefit.’ ‘W. F. Jones—“I think a Bur- leigh county fair would be a good thing. I think it is exactly what we ought to have. F. L. Conklin—“My idea is that we should center all attention on the corn show. We have pre-emp- ted this field. Both from an at- tendance and publicity standpoint and from @he standpoint of the eer good in it, I believe it is best pi sition.” Gerald Rie holt~—“I believe a county fair would be all right.” Bismarck Is Center. M. B. Gilman—“Inasmuch as Bismarck is the center of a large distributing area of jobbers of all types of merchandise, there is no question but that a county , fair would be invaluable to farmers and men of all lines of business. F. A. Copelin—“I believe a county fair would.be a wonderful thing for Bismarck and the com- munity tributary ‘to it. The corn show must be preserved and com- bined with a fair.” A. O. Schimansky—“I believe a fair is a fred thing. As lot we ars, foing to have a corn show we might as well have a F. A. Knowles. Minot fair. It w: marck should have a John Cons By al ‘air grounds.’ a TE od on page 2) Where Brazilian Revolt Trouble Cen One of the beautiful sections of inset, President Carlos De Campos NEW RATES OF STATE'S RISK BUREAU GIVEN Increases in 14 Classes and Decreased in 35 Classes of Employment THE CHANGES SHOWN State workmen's compensation in- surance rates, for the ensuing year, effective July 1, are increased in 14 classes’ of employment and decreased in 36 classes of employment, accord- ing to the published rates of the Workmen’s Compensation Bureau.

The close was unsettle %%e to Le net lower, Septem- ber $1.215% to $1.21% and De- cember $1.2434 to $1.25. Chicago, July 15 (By the A. P)—With Winnipeg _ prices jumping wildly and with con- tinued unfavorable crop reports from Canada, wheat ran up here quickly today to new high prices for the season.. Forecasts of showers in Canada, however, led to increased selling pressure on the advance and caused unusual- ly rapid fluctuations that tended’ over a range of about three cents. Opening _ prices which varied from unchanged figures to" 3-4. cents higher with September 1.27 1-2 were followed by further gains and later by. a succession of swift changes, mostly well above yes terday’s finish. CANADA CROP HURT Chicago, July 15.—Predictions that the wheat crop this season in Canada would be less than half of the yield in 1923 had much to do with a sensational advance of prices yesterday on the Chicago board of trade. Maximum gains of 5 cents. a bushel were ‘registered, with values shaded only a trifle at the finish. Excitement among traders in the Chicago wheat pit attained a high pitch after word was out that 50 percent damage from the Canadian drought had been fore- cast by a recognized capert on crop conditions, R.. E. well, representing one of the largest grain houses here, made the statement, LOCAL STORE CLOSES DOORS Best and Huyck, men’s clothiers, have close@ their store on Main street, and, according to their at- torneys, have filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy in federal court in Fargo.

EXCURSIONS ARE URGED Good Method to Advertise State, Says Kitchen Sight-sceing excursions by rail- roads with low rates are urged by J. A. Kitchen, Commissioner of Agri- culture, as one method of carrying out the objects of the “Greater North Dakota Association,” in “tell- ing the truth about North Dakots.” “In the first place there is a great deal in the old saying ‘Seeing is Be- lieving,’” Mr. Kitchen wrote to Lynn Cowell of Valley City, secretary of the association. “A great many peo- ple are passing through North Da- kota and, as we have unusually good crop prospect, conditions in the state appeal strongly to all these folks. If the different railroad lines, the Northern Pacific, Great Northern and the Soo lines especially, could be in- duced to grant a sight-seeing low excursion rate from eastern parts to North Dakota and run special trains, for jnstance on the Northern Facitic to make stops at Fargo, Valley City, Bismarck-Mandan and Dickinson or Beach, not as an immigration project but simply as an excursion to see North Dakota, as it actual it would prove the best advertising the state could get. If the railroads could be induced to do this and a very low round trip rate made I believe it would be the best single j thing that could be done.” The state has made attractions to visitors, the Commissioner said. The Greater North’ Dakota Associa- tion, according to Mr. Cowell, has selected G. N, Keniston of Bismarck to conduct a campaign to raise funds for the association. MEMBERS OF MANY BOARDS ARE RENAMED Reappointments on various state commissions and boards were an- nounced today by Governor Nestos as follows: Stone Hills Battlefield Commission, Lee Northrup of Merricourt, Mary Flemington Strand of Ellendale, W.

RULEON EVE OF GATHERING (mportant Allied Problems Will be Settled in Confer- ence in London AMERICANS THERE Ambassador Kellogg and Owen D. Young, Expected To Participate London, July 15, (By the A. P.)— Preparations were virtually complet- ed today for a meeting at the foreign office tomorrow morning of the inter- allied conference, believed by many to be one of the most important events in international history in years, The purpose of the conference is the discussion of methods of putting the Dawes report on reparations into effect. More than 160 delegates, experts and advisors, will be present when Premier MacDonald opens the con- ference and hears the responses of leading __plenipotentiaries.

American ambassador Kellogg will be the only accredited representative of the United States but Col. James A. Logan, Jr., one of those most familiar with the complexities of the reparations problem, will sit beside him as official advisor. The only other American who is likely to participate, is a member of the Dawes committee on the German budget and currency problems and known to the British as the man behind the Dawes report. While Mr, Young’s presence in London is entirely unofficial the American ambassador yesterday ‘held a lengthy conference with him and Col, Logan. Mr. Young intimated he ‘was willing to put all his knowledge at the service of the conference and to do all in his power to make the experts’ findings practicable. On the eve of the conference a decided atmosphere of optimism pre- vailed, At the conference between Premiers MacDonald and Herriot in “Pari§*last week the French premier characterized the day as the best for the entente since the day the armistice was signed. The first business of the confer- ence tomorrow morning after the opening ceremony will be the agenda which will be based on the exchange of views between Premiers MacDon- ald and Herriot. The agenda will be strictly confined to the Dawes re- port. BOOK ON BANK LAW PUBLISHED BY MR.

REBELS GAIN ON FEDERALS REPORTS SAY Unofficial Advices Deny Gov- ernment’s Claims of Suc- cesses in Brazil THREATENING SANTO Not Only do Rebels Hold Sao Paulo But They Are . Increasing Area Buenos Aires, July 15 (By the A P.)—While the latest official _re- ports received from Rio de Janiero stated that the federal forces were holding their position in beseiging the Brazilian insurrection and had even advanced on some points, unofficial advices indicated that rebels not only are in command of that city but are threatening the neighboring metropolis of Santos. ‘A wireless message from the Brit- ish ship Andes which left Santos yesterday asserted that .the situa- tion at. the Bra; jan port was ser- ious. It stated that the rebels at that time were but eight miles from the city. It is now believed that previous reports that the Suo Paulo rebels number 34,000 and the _ beseiging federal troops 24,000 were erroneous. It is said the figures probably were much over-estimated, the opposing forces actually numbering 15,000 each, 2 KILLED AS AUTO IS HIT BY S00 TRAIN Kighth Death of Season in Detroit, Minnesota, Region Is Recorded Today Detroit, Minnesota, July 15.--Mr. and Mrs. Gust Linnell of Millbank, South Dakota, were almost instantly killed when their automobile was struck by a Soo line train at the Wheeler crossing two miles north west of Detroit, early today.
