ESTABLISHED 1873 A, COOL WEATHER SENDS BUYERS ARTER GRAINS Wild Fluctuations Mark Corn Market on Receipt of Unfavorable News ALSO GAINS Has Independent Strength on Canadian Frost; Also Helped by Corn _ Chicago, Aug. 16.—Wild fluctua- tions in the corn market today re- sulted from continual unfavorable weather and from adverse crop re- ports. May corn jumped 5%c in some cases, touching as high as $1.21 % a bushel, compared with $1.16% at yesterday's finish, after a net gain yesterday of 5% Trade was of such an character that simultaneous trans- actions this morning at different points in the pit were as much as 3%ec apart.

An opinion by the United States Governor Forecast at Chicago, Prof. Henry J. Cox, that there would be no more summer weather this sea- on was responsible for much new buying of corn. He was quoted as saying that the consumer might as well be prepared for the worst. Reports of frost in Canada gave independent strength to wheat and so, too, did apparent likelihood that a settlement with Germany would be completed tonight. The upward course of corn, however, was also a leading factor. After opening one- eighth to 1%%e higher, September $1.32 to $1.32', and December $1.36 to $1.36%, wheat sugged somewhat but then made rapid, irregular gains that extended two to 3%%c above yesterday's close, THIS YEAR IN AGRICULTURE First Year Receipts Will Ex- ceed Cost of Production, Says Willasd Fargo, N. D., Aug. 16.—North Da- kota’s 1924 wheat crop wil) be-pro- duced at an average cost of 81 cents per bushel, rye 68 cents and flax $1.49, according to preliminary esti- mates made by Rex E, Willard, farm economist, and T. S. Thorfinnson, assistant, of the North Dakota Exper- iment station. These figures show the lowest bus- hel costs of production for North Da- kota since the war, and this is the first year during that period that the market price of wheat has ex- ceeded the average cost off produc- tion, according to Mr. Willard. These costs are based on records ‘and esti- mates collected during the past week from 100 farms in 10 counties of the state, Cass, Grand Forks, Ramsey, Pierce, Wells, Stutsman, Kidder, Mc- Lean, Morton and Grant. High yields are the principal fac- tor causing the comparatively low bushel costs, the records show. Es- timates of the wheat yield from the 100 farms averaged 15.3 bushels per acre, rye 15.2 bushels and flax 9.8 bushels. Acre costs of production for wheat averaged $12.34, rye $8.90 and flax $14.58.

Lack of education auses of h a teac Warden Lee, in his paper, said in part: “Crime springs from so many dif- ferent cau: ind conditions. Want, intemperance, incomplete or abnormal development, improper home condi- tions, child labor, and many other élements, help to produce criminals. “Where crime is found to spring from want, it is the duty of every good citizen to see that such want is' relieved und conditions established that will make future cases of want fewer and less disastrous, If it is caused by intemperance, incomplete or abnormal d Rment, or impro- per home condftiéns,‘then Jt seems reasonable that, the way to reduce crime is to make consistent efforts to change these Anditions; strengthen- ing character, improving the educa- tional. system, and changing social conditions. . “The influence of heredity and en- vironment in shaping character and destiny is an ever present problem. Hereditary influences are undoubted- ly strong. The crimes of impulse or of jealously can usually be traced to hereditary influencés. So, frequent- ly, criminals are found to have in- herited physical and mental weaken- nesses and defects and the commis- sion of crime may be ascribed to these, “Education and environment also powerfully influence and ‘help to mold the gharacter. If education is neglected or lacks the elements that mold character, and if the environ- ment is bad, these are influences that produce criminality. Frequently, the influences of heredity and environ- ment are'so mixed that it is difficult to’ ascertain to which thy criminal pro: bably best illustrated by the history of families like the famous Juke fam- ily of New York where a large per- centage of the members of the fam- ily in the past hundred years were inmates of reform schools, peniten- tiaries, i ums,or institutions for the feeble-minded. In. these cases the hereditary influences are supple- mented by lack of education and by an unfortunatd environment. Fre- quently men and women reared in such an environment and lacking the proper guidance and education be- come confirmed criminals and vir- tual degenerates early in life, without’| will power and self-restraint and ady to follow whatever suggestion made to them, Such a one was working last fall on a threshing rig in the central part of North Dakota and because.of the fact that, when he got up one night when everybody was pie it flashed through his mind that someone had suggested killing a couplé of the men-who were with him, he killed. two of the sleeping men. 4 This ‘man admitted tome that since ome fang had told’ penitentiary he’ had hint that the. warden: (Continued on page 8) { coming into} plannii rd Loeb and Nathan Leopold Jr, are remaining loyal to the slayers of Bobby Franks. ions to be seen in the picture above shows the strain they | jetta ‘Leopold. ‘brother of Nathan Jr., and RATTLESNAKE BITES CHILD Dickinson, Aug. 16.—The eight- year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.

NEW STORY IN WCOY MURDER s Woman Informs Police She Saw Two Leaving Apart- ment DISPELS ONE THEORY Los Angeles, Aug. 16.—An entire, ly anew aspect has been. given to the Theresa Mors shooting investigation, police announced today, by the tes- timony of a woman who ‘said she heard and saw two men _ fleeing jfrom the apartment occupied by Mrs. Mors and Kid McCoy, ex-pugi- list, a few minutes after the shot was fired that ended the wealthy diforcee’s life early Wednesday morning. The new witness, police say, lives jin the apartment directly under that in which the shooting took place and saw one of the fleeing men clearly and so close range that she was able to give detectives a complete description of him, This man, she said positively and repeat- edly, was hot Kid McCoy. She was able to furnish no description of the other man whom she knew only as the dark shape of a man run- ning swiftly ‘from the building. Dispels Suicide Theory The testimony of the new witness, Mrs, Iva Martin, is of supreme im, portance for two reasons, police point out. First, it fixes the time of the slay- ing definitely at 12:05 a. m. Wed- nesday. Second, it completely disproves the suicide theory of Mrs. Mors’ death. ‘ a Mrs, Martin was in bed, she said, when shé jwas awakened suddenly by voices in the apartment above. “Oh, my God, don’t do that,” were the first words she heard, she told investigators. ( Twice more, in anguished tones, these. words were repeated. No re- ply was heard; only the sound of a scuffle, and then again a woman's voice pleading. Finally, said Mrs. Martin, came the last words she heard from the apartment: that night: “Oh,,my God: don’t do- that! this will be terrible.” Then the: sharp sound of a shot.

Following an address by Mr. Dorman, outliniftig the La Follette national campaign plans, the conference was to get | busy with the organization program, The plan of campaign in North Da- kota, from a national standpoint, is somewhat uncertain as yet, Mr. Dor- man said.

Roy Frazier, chairman of the re- publican state committee as control- led by the Nonpartisans in the. state, asked if he would turn the republican column over to the Coolidge forces in the event the four “La Follette lectors” withdrew, said he would call a committee meeting ‘or conven- tion,—whatever the law might pro- vide—and fill the vacancies.

SAYS ‘DEFENSE DAY’ ATTACKS ARE POLITICAL Governor, in Statement, De- * elares His Willingness - To Cooperate NOT WAR M NEUVERS Declares Reasonable Pre- paredness Does Not Make Militaristic Nation . Opposition to “Defense Day,” September 12, is largely political in origin, Governor R. A. Nestos de- clared today in a statement declar- ing his willingness to cooperate with the national administration in ob- servance of the day. The Governor, in his statement, also declared that creating a rea- sonuble degree of preparedness will not make a militaristic nation out of the United’ States, “Our people do not want war. We abhor it,” said the Governor. “There is only one thing we dislike more and that is national dishonor and continued injustice between na- tions.” Governor's Statement The Governor's statement follows: “{ do not believe there is suffi- cient reason for the present oppo: tion to National Defense. It seems to me a political move to distract the voters’ attention from the real _is- sues of the campaign, making “much ado about nothing” and raising” a veritable “tempest in’a teapot” wi the evident expectation that the stray breezes from the tempest may waft them into the haven of public office otherwise unattainable. “Some honest but misguided peo- ple have been misled by the stat ments of these self-seeking politi- cians, and reporters who have per- BF mitted their imaginations to run réot, and apparently believe that there is danger to America and American ideals in this Defense Day program, “Our people do not war. We ab- hor it. There is only one thing we dislike more and that is national dishonor and continued injustice be- tween nations. We wish our influ- ence ever to be on the side of jus- tice, good will, and peace among the nations, but we know that we cannot attsin this ideal by permit- ting such an extreme state of un- prepardeness as that which existed in the spring of 1917. It costs too much in life, health, and Money. But, we do not want a large stand- ing army. There is no need of it and no desire for it. We have now the smallest, in proportion to pop- ulation among the civilized nations, and we wish to continue to lead the world in this respect. “With these national ideals, the question then arises how we might best attain a reasonable degree of preparedness without maintaining a large standing army, or without spending too much money. It has been decided that one of the most effective] ways is to maintain a vol- untary. brganization and continued interest among those who were of- ficers and soldiers in the recent war, and.each,summer to give a large number of young men ‘a brief period of military training for the improvement of their physical health and to teach them obedience and discipline which are so essential to the best civic life. This seems to me an excellent plan and will be of value to our people and country, (Continued on page 3) Formation of — ers Vigilantes in '- State — Excellent response is . being Te- ceived from states attorneys in North Dakota, to the recent letter issued from the Attorney-Genera! office, suggesting. the organization of ‘vigilance committéés to police North Dakota towns during the har- vest season, Thorpe, First “Assistant Attorney: General.

P.) —The French and Germans finally have settled their long controversy cver the military evacuation of the Ruhr by an exchange of letters to- day in which they agreed to the principle that August 15 of next year be fixed as the final datt when the French and Belgian troops must completely evacuate the Ruhr territory. They have also agreed that a partia] evacuation will begin on August 30 of this year, when the foreign soldiers will leave Dort- mund, and the cities and places outsjde the Ruhr which were not occupied in accordance with the terms of the treaty of Versailles. The Belgians joined with the French in the letter covering the point. Both the French and the Germans in their letter insist that they have not altered their opinion about the legal questions involved | in the occupation of the Ruhr. The French insist that the oc- cupations were justified by the Treaty of Versailles while the Ger- mans declare that the sanctions were illegal and voiced the expec- tation that the evacuation will be finished earlier than next August. To Deny Coercion Prime Minister MacDonald of Great Britain also is preparing a letter in whjch he will deny charg- es that he coerced the Germans into acceptance of: the French de- mands that ‘the Ruhr occupation continue for one year longer. It. also is expected that he will issue a statement expressing the hope that the evacuation may be speedier ‘than the agreement pro- vides, The French and Belgian prime minister made a joint statement declaring it was obvious that the entire sanctioned territory would be evacuated as soon as the French troops left the Ruhr, in other words that the military evacuation would Be absclutely complete next August ,_. Speedy Preparations Speedy preparations are being made for the plenary sessions of the international conference to- night when the complete member- ship will assemble and the dele- gates will initiate the agreement as to how the Dawes plan is to be executed.
