$4.6 DA. VIN FAVOR OF DEFENSE DAY Local Post Promises To Help in Any Manner in Which They Can STATEMENT “Mere Common Sense Backs Test” Says Local Adjutant ISSUE At their regular meeting, last night, the Bismarck Chapter of the Disubl- ed American Veterans of the. World War,.went on record as being in favor of National Defense Day, on Sép- tember 12. “National Defense Day, is a de- fense test, which will enable the cit- izens of the U. S. to visualize the initial processes which will be neces- sary to mobilize our ferces for Na- tional defense in conformity with the act of 1920, a defense test of mo- bilization,” said Adjutant Rosenthal of the local post. “Defense Day is not a militaristic gesture, no more or less offensive and ‘provocative than our July 4th celebration. Or as our past natio Commander James A. McFarland has said, “Preparediess no more invites War, than Insurance invites Fire.” “Crime, fire and war are not un- avoidable, We would not abolish our police. departments. We would not abolish our fire depts, so why abolish our army and navy. “National Defense Day is a splen- did barometer of a chief element in| assuming our safety, intended to bring to the people a reminder of their plans to dependence upon this skeleton establishment in the event| of an emergency. “If=the nations of the world look to the U. S. of America to provoke war, we believe there will never be another war.

Capital-Journal and Mayor of Pierre, is the conductor of a column.which is believed to be un- like any other in an American news- paper. i. The feature is called “The Mayor's Column,” and the publisher-mayor devotes the space “to the informa- ‘tion of the public as to city oper- ations, and as a bulletin for impart- ing official news.” Written in a breezy, conversational style, it ex- presses the mayor's ideals for the city, his views on municipal reforms or undertakings, and a summary of achievements, with now and then a |sharp suggestion about some homely |phase of citizenship or municipal conduct. FERRIES OR "BRIDGES ON ALL ROADS |Highway Commission An- swers Query About River Crossings All waterways intersecting with North Dakota state highways can be crossed at the intersection, ac- cording to information given out to- day by the State Highway Commis- sion in answer to a query.as to whether or not the Little Missouri River could be crossed on_ state route number 25 between Killdeer and Watford City. While it has not been possible for the Highway Commission, with its limited funds, to construct bridges over every stream and river, ferry boats are in operation on every state |road intersection with a river or stream which has not been bridged. This, in substance was the reply giv- en to the query concerning the route over number 25. The road runs from Killdeer to Watford City, the crossing over the Little Missouri be- ing effected by a river powereferry. Similar ferries take the place of bridges at all other crossings for which the Commission cannot fur- nish funds with which to erect bridges. PLAN SHEEP .

Strange Scene « GRANDDAUGHTER TO ACT Miss Lucille Van Solen to Take Part Actually Played By Grandmother In the Fort Rice episode in the pageant of Spirit of Mandan at the Fair, the principal character is an Indian woman whose name was Wambdi Autopewin (Eagle Woman Who All Look At). This woman is one of the most famous women of the Sioux people, and was the wife of Major Galpin, the post trader at Fort Rice. She died many years ago on Porcupine Creek in Sioux County, and after many years her body was removed to the Catholic cemetery at Fort Yates. Her father }was a very famous chief of the !Oohenapea (Two Cattle Sioux). This Indian woman will be re- membered as the one who while pass- ing down the Missouri in an impro- vised boat, landed at a Sioux camp in the vicinity of the mouth of Beaver Creek which is now in Em- mons County, Narth Dakota. This camp however, proved ta be a band of hostile Sioux under the leadership of the notorious renegade and mur- derer, Inkepaduta (Scarlet Point) and who had with him the white women prisoners whom he had brought from the fight at Lake Shatak. Some of these prisoners had already been. killed and the hostiles resented appraach by even their own people. Wambdi Autopewin and her husband, Major Galpin, however, es- caped from the camp, and at the next camp of friendly Sioux they landed and told their story. ‘An ex- pedition was formed, composed of very young warriors who belonged to a soldier society called the “Fool Soldier Band.” These men took a vow to release the white women, and after many adventures with the hostiles succeeded in doing so. However, to return to the Fort Rice episode,.this Indian woman personally saved the life of a, young officer stationed at the post who was pursued by. hostiles to, the gate of the post. She ran to meet him and claimed him as her son, The. Indians then would not kill him and were driven off by the soldiers. How- ever, the young lieutenant died with- in a few days from the three Sioux war arrows his. back. The grief of the Indian woman was said to have been pitiful. The part of this Indian woman is to be played in this episode by her own granddaugh- ter, Miss Lucille, Van Solen, who is living on the famous Parkin Ranch at the mouth of the Cannonball River. This. ranch was the half way point between Mandan and Bismarck and Fort Yates, and such famous sol- diers and scouts as General’ Miles, Crook, Custer, Wm. Cody (Baffalo Bill) and Yellowstone Kelly always made it a point to stop at this place as a half way station. Miss Van Solen’s Indian name -is'that of her Eagle-Woman-Who- All-Look-At, and the management LEAN - HOT Will Not Clinker WACHTER TRANSFER _ PHONE 62 Mandan, has consented to take the part. A point of interest in the relics which will be shown in the store windows during the period of the pageant will be the wedding dress of this famous.

The production of small grains and potatoes was estimated, on August 1, to be greater than on July 1, but the bumper oats crop expected in Minnesota will be reduced by the recent heavy rains which have so retarded threshing and harvesting. Corn prospects, which had improved during July, have not been maintain- ed in August, owing to cool damp Weather and corn is slow and far be- hind. Frost was experienced in some parts of North Dakota, in varying degrees, during the third week in August, but damage was slight. Substantial increases in prices for most grains and livestock both in July and August have brought great activity into the market, Farm purchasing power, when measured in shipments of agricul- tural implements, was slightly low- er in the first.seven months of July than in any other period in the past ten years. Prospective building, the seasonal amount. although it does not approach the volume of last year. Banks experienced rising de- posits, with a resultant decrease in interest rates. Outside of some local damage done by storms and drought a slight dam- age by rust in late sown. fields, conditions were, on August 1, ex- tremely favorable for small grains. The central third of North Dakota suffered somewhat from lack of moisture, but the August 1 forecast for wheat returns is 17.7 million bushels greater, than was the July, 1 forecast. Reports on weed damage indicate that North Dakota was less affected during the past year than for several years past. Flax, which has generally been reported in good condition, but a little varied in its maturity date, has already started blooming in some sections. In others it is slight- ly slower. Corn has been reported as being ten days to two weeks late lin nearly all sections of this terri- tory. ¢ ‘féel very much gratified that this young, lady who is so well known in | social circles in both Bismarck and | Farm labor is plentiful in North'| Dakota, North Dakota’s harvest and | mate outcome however, increaseed much more than'|. later this yedr than usual, the re- port says ,and this may have some- thing to do with the apparent abun- dance of harvest harid Agricultural statisticians are greatly concerned over the corn crop.
