Red Turkey Wheat Weighs 64 Pounds to the Bushel, Grain Company Reports FINE YIELDS OTHER North Dakota Yields Up ‘Tol Early Expectations, Reports Show Beach, Sept. 2.—Red Turkey wheat, weighing 64 pounds to the bushel, and yielding 25 bushels to the acre was sold here to the Beach Cooperative grain company, veing the first sample of the kind brought in this year. It was raised on the Vincent Wicka farm, south of Beach. Quade Brothers brought in the first load of marquis, weighing 52 pounds and producing slightly over 20 bushels per acre. The wheat was uniform in color and clean, Oats yielding 90 bushels to the acre were raised on the Conrad Fakler farm.. Threshing is now general in this region, and all grain men are united in the belief that the average yield of whi for the county is closer to 15 bushels than to 12, THRESHING CARRIED ON Carrington, Sept. 2—With all gain. except late flax harvested, practically all the threshing ma- chines of the vicinity have begun operation. Stanley Boushek’s 100 acre field of kota wheat south of the city yielded 2400 bashels gross and 2100 net or 21 bushels to the acre with dockage taken out. This was sold at $1.21 a bushel to the Osborne-Mc- Millan elevator company who ship- ped the grain out recently, the first car to leave Carrington this zea- son, Last year the first <arload of grain was shipped on August 9. CORN MATURING RAPIDLY Wilton, Sept. 2—High tempera- tures during the past week matured corn rapidly, which unless an early frost comes, will make better forage and ensilage than had been antici- pated. Threshing is general, with labor plentiful, and prospects of an average crop is good. CLOSE TO 20 BUSHELS Anamoose, Sept. 2.—From reports that have come in to the local ele- vators it appears certain that wheat will run.close to 20 bushels to the acre, of No, 1 quality, the weight being better than 60 pounds in most cases. Five cars of wheat and one of rye have been shipped already. Representative yields are: August Kuraweg farm, wheat yielded 26! bushels to the acre; Fred Heller! farm, 18 to 20 bushels of wheat per; acre C.

PRESIDENT IS GIVEN REPORT ON STIPULATION Jilliam, Butler, Chairman of G. 0. P. Committee, Re- views Political Situation | PLANS ARE UNDECIDED a Washington, Sept. 2—For the first time since his acceptance of the Republican nomination, Presi dent Coolidge had an opportunity today to get a comprehensive repért {of the political outlook from Wil- |liam M. Butler, chairman of the Re- publican National Committee, whose recent stay ut National Headquarters at Chicago, preceded by a visit to stern division headquarters, has n him a broad view of the gen- \eral situation. | Mr. Coolidge has not decided upon any definite campaign plans for himself, but it was thought by ob. servers that his conference with Mr. Butler might develop something along this line and possibly on the Ku Klux Klan. The Republican nominee said re- cently he had no political speaking engagements on his list. Since then, however, he has accepted an invi- tation to speak before the Holy Name Society convention here Sep- tember 20 and some political ad- visers have expressed the opinion that if he intends to make any dec- laration on the Ku Klux Klan he will do so at that time WHEAT POOL. TEST IS SEEN Grand Forks, Sept. 2—A summons to appear in court and show cause |why he should not deliver his mar- | ketable wheat to the North Dakota Wheat Growers Association, as per | provisions in the marketing agree- ment, has been served on Fred Schermeister of Hazelton, N. D., ac- cording to A. J. Soctt, secretary of the association. The defendant in the case, thru his attorneys, has served the asso- ciation with answer to the summons, and the case will be placed on the calendar for the next term of court. RAILWAY NEAR Shanghai, China, Sept. 2.—Forces under General Lu Yung Hsiang, military Governor of Chegiang,' have cut the Shanghai-Nankin railway 15 miles from this city. Railway com- munication with Peking, therefore, is broken, Outposts of the troops under Gen. Chi Shiah Yuang, mil- itary Governor of Kiangsu Province, are pushing near, Shanghai, but there has been no fighting as yet.

The special train stopped over in |Mandan for a. few minutes, accord- ng to the officials, and the pas- {sengers were allowed to visit the Slope fair, now in progress. “With such marvelous weather as we are having,” said Mr. Elliott, “our eastern guests are being very favorably impressed with your won- derful state.” The party was made up of the fol- lowing New York people: Mr. How- ard Elliott, chairman of the Board of Directors of the Northern Paci- fic Railroad; Mr. Willis H.

These contain- ed the first reports of the later action taken by the diplomatic corp. The British, Japanese and French diplomats called on Dr. Wellington Koo, Chinese minister for foreign affairs and explained they could not regard with equanimity the situation that was threatening Shanghai by seige. Shanghai, Sept. 2.—The hostilities in Kiangsu and Crekiang provinces have caused the rival war lords of those provinces to realize the neces- sity of raising armies large enough to last through the long and severe campaign which they apparently con- sider the situation will bring about and .everywhere in the affected areas a policy of wholesale conscrip- tion is being carried on, according to advices from the interior. Farmers, artisans, coulees—in fact, every man able to hold a gun, carry a bucket or a burden of any sort, are being pressed into service. The countryside, therefore, appears deserted with the exception of old men, women and children, FOUR VICTIMS I$ WEEK-END ACCIDENT TOLL | Girl Living South of Mandan May Die as Result of Injuries Sustained ONE HIT BY TRACTOR Mandan, N. D., Sept, 2—Four ser- iously injured was the week-end and holiday toll in Mandan and vicinity. | Veronica, aged six, daughter of Frank | Deichert of near Flasher sustained a badly fractured skull when she was struck by an eight-pound weight while watching repairs being made ‘to a windmill. The weight struck her directly on the forehead. An | hemmorrhage of the brain may result | fatally. . Charles Sertiski, 23, Northwood, N. D., employed by the Seifrand Carni- val at the Missouri Slope Fair, was run over by a wagon drawn by a tractor. He sustained serious injur- ies to the pervic bone and pelvic cav- | ity. Andrew aged six, son of Peter Cooper, Mandan, ran from behind an automobile directly in front of an- other car and sustained a badly frac- tured left leg. Strong Heart, who lacks but two of four score years, a Sioux Indian of Cannonball, N. D., suffered a bad- ly cut arm when an automobile enter- ed by R. B, Loubek of Bismarck in the automobile races at the fair crashed into a fence and careened off, The driver was blinded by a cloud of dust. The Indian, leaning over the fence, was thrown many feet and rendered unconscious. However, in- jury was confined to the arm. | AVERAGE TEST WEIGHT OF WHEAT IS 4.7 POUNDS ABOVE CROP OF 1923 thus far, the average test weight is 4.7 pounds’ per bushel heavier than in 1923, when the average was 55.9 pounds. The average gluten content is somewhat below the 1923 figure, 13.30 percent, and very slightly be- low the 1922 average of 12.01. “These preliminary figures are not conclusive,” Mr. Mangels states, “as the samples to be tested later may show different results. How- ever, the indications are that the percentage of gluten will be below the 1923 figure, and therefore that high gluten wheat should bring a premium over average wheat this year. The, average test weight fig- ure may be changed by the samples remaining to he tested, but in any event it will greatly. exceed’ the 1923 figure.” In this process the city of Nan- king, Kiangsu has been virtual cleaned out and the well-to-do class- es are taking refuge in flight. Hou- furniture, implements, boats, in fact everything possible to com- mandeer, have been taken by the troops, who exercise complete tyr- anny, the reports declare, wherever they go. LABOR GIVES COOLIDGE AID President Anxious to Pro- mote Workmen’s Welfare Washington, Sept. 2.—A group of representatives of organized labor pledged their individual support to President Coolidge during a call at the White House yesterday, and heard a pledge by the president to perpetuate conditions which he de- scribed as “the best in the history of our wage earners. Mr. Coolidge said the government was anxious to continue its efforts to promote the welfare of workmen but told the visitors he did not favor a labor government. Likewise he said he did not favor a corporation gov- ernment, a bank government or a farm government. “I am for a common sense govern- ment,” he added, “by all the people, according to’ the American policy and under the American constitution, I want all the people to continue to be partakers in self government. * * “We do not need to import any foreign economic ideas or any for- eign government. We had better stick to the American brand of gov- ernment, the American brand of equality, and the American brand of wages. America had better stay American.” WILLISTON IS READY FOR FAIR 2—The annual Williston, Sept. agricultural fair of Williams county will be held here on Thursday, Fri- day and Saturday, October 2, 3 and 4, S, Th.

WILL INCORPORATE Active Campaign Planned for Creation of Roosevelt National Park As a sequence of the meeting of the board of directors of the Roose- velt Memorial National Park associa- tion here yesterday Governor Nestos today designated the directors of the association a state park commis- sion in order that it may be general- ly known the state of North Dakota officially indorses the project of a great national park in the Badj Lands to comemorate the memory of the great American citizen who’ made that wonderful region famous, The members of the Park, Commission; named by the governor follows: Dr. A.! H. Yoder, Grand Forks; Walter J. Johnson, Marmarth; Carl B. Olsen, Medora; Walter G. Black, Bismarck; Ed. E. Fredeen, Ryden, B. A. Dickin- son, Minot; Walter F. Cushing, Beach, In a few days Governor Nestos will appoint an advisory committee of one from each county of the state and several at large to cooperate with the park board of directors in putting over the project for the Roosevelt National park, The officers of the Roosevelt Me morial Park association are: W. Cushing, president; Dr, A. H. Yoder, vice president; Ed. E. Fredeen, se- cretary, B. A. Dickinson, treasurer. Plans For Campaign At the meeting of the board Mon- day afternoon at the governor's of- fice active steps are taken to get in- to motion the work of getting con- gress to create this national park. The board recognized the magnitude of the work, but spurred on by the enthusiasm for the project -hat seems extant all over the state, got down to work in earnest. It was decided to incorporate the organization and articles as a non-} profit sharing incorporation will be} filed with the secretary of state to- day. It was also decided to urge October 27, Col. Roosevelt's birth- day, as an occasion for observance in the public schools of the state, in which effort the aid of county superintendents will be sought. At that time a drive for funds to carry on the work of the association will be made with the aid of the advisory committee, it be- ing believed there will be little dif- ficulty in raising the small sum de- sired for the work of the association in making the necessary surveys, plats and securing the statistics and data Congress will require before that body will act. To Give Certificates Handsome souvenir certificates of membership will be given each sub- seriber, the fee being placed at a minimum of one dollar, while large contributions, of course will be glad- ly received. At once a preliminary survey will be made of the territory by residents of it, which field notes will be sent to the state engineer's ofice and whipped into shape as a basis of a survey to be made this fall by Mr. Black’s office force, as- sisted by engineers from the Soo Line, Northern Pacific and Milwaukee railroads, which are very much inter- ested in the development of this park, if those lines care to take part in this feature qf the pioneer work, as has been suggested to or by them. A bill for the creation of the “Roosevelt National Park” is now before the Public Lands committee of the House, but this covers but a small part of the proposed park as now conceived, which will include a territory reaching along the Little Missouri river from Marmarth to the Fort Berthold Indian reservation and probably taking in the Killdeer mountains, and including most of the wonderful features of that wonder- land, few of which have been view- ed by those not living in that region, FINAL EDITION PRICE FIVE CENTS F BANDITS ROBBERS FLEE, LOOT SMALL, IN SOUTH DAKOTA President of Bank, Daugh- ter and One Other Injured During Raid WIRES ARE SEVERED Bandits Isolate Town, and Au thorities Institute a Wide Search White Rock, South Dakota, Sept. 2.— (By the A. P.) — Three residents of this town were shot and wounded when they interrupted five bandits raiding the Citizens State Bank today. Those injured are A. H. Kolset, president of the bank; his daughter, Helen and Ed Burdar. All will recover, al- though Burdar will need hos- pital attention for some time. Numerous shots were fired by the bandits who used saw- ed-off shotguns with telling effect. When they fled from the town they took as loot $20 in pennies and a few bonds of undetermined value. All wire communication with this town of 400 population was severed by the bandits before they entered the bank and it was not until short- ly before noon that direct communi- cation was restored. Messengers were sent to nearby towns to sound the alarm, and a thorities declared they had no tang’ ble clues to the whereabouts of the robbers. Discovered at 2:15 The activities of the robbers were discovered at 2:15 a. m. by Burdor who lived upstairs over the bank. They immediately notified Mr. Col- fax who hurriedly drove out to the bank. The bandits onened fire, and wounded the two bankers. In the shower of shots Burdor believed the bandits wounded one of their own number, who was assisted to the car his companions, Mr. Kolset suffered slight wounds, but was able to appear. on the street this afternoon. His daughter Helen, received several wounds, while Bur- dor received several charges of buckshot in back and legs. This is the second bank robbery hare, the Third National bank hav- ing been robbed ten years ago. Only one dollar was stolen at that time, however.
