WEATHER FORECAST For Bismarck and vicinity: Over- cast tonight and Wednesday. ESTABLISHED 1873 THE BISMARCK BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, TL DAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1924 PRICE FIVE CENTS NATION OBSERVES ARMISTICE DAY VARIETY WILL ‘BETTER SHOW OF LAST YEAR Careful Selection of Exhibits Is Shown in the Entries Now Received COUNTIES REPRESENTED Practically All Sections of The State to Have Ex- hibits in Corn Show The finest corn show ever held in North Dakota will dpen tomorrow. This was the verdict of officials of the North Dakota State Corn Show Tuesday afternoon, as the exhibits were being arranged in the show room, in the Annex Hotel building on East Broadway. A finer variety of exhibits than last year, when -the first state show was held, will be shown here, during the four days of the show, Novem- ber 12, 13, 14 and 15. The exhibits come from all parts of the state with many counties making a special effort to win the corn championship « of the state by taking the L. B. Hanna sweepstakes cup. The show display room will be open tomorrow morning and will re- main open morning, afternoon and evening for the four days. Judging - will be by Dr. H. L. Walster and Prof. P. J. Olson of the North Da- kota Agricultural College. Unpacking Exhibits Men were busy today unpacking exhibits and arranging them, under the direction of O. E. Anderson, floor superintendent. The exhibits are of better quality this year, A. F. Bradley, show secretary said, be- cause exhibitors had the opportun- ity to pick their corn in the field and because of the instructions sent out as to how to pick show corn. The fact that many local corn shows have been held throughout the state, to pick the best exhibits to be sent to Bismarck, has also helped to in- sure a finer quality of exhibits. A group of 10 exhibits from one town may represent the pick of 150 ex- hibits in a local corn show. The holding jf local corn whows .has been encouraged by officials of the state show, the object being to get a representative display of the finest quality, rather than endless numbers of exhibits. . Several of the exhibits here have been entered by individuals in the International Hay and Grain Show, to be held in Chicago, November 29 —December 6. The matter of send- ing all the prize winners from the state show to Chicago is under con- sideratien. The L. B. Hanna sweepstakes cup was won last year by Sargent coun- ty, this going to the county whose xhibitors scored the largest num- ber of points in the show. As the ‘cup must be won three times in succession to be retained permanent- ly, several counties are’ out to take the cup away from Sargent county. The Program There will be no program Wednes- day, although the exhibits will be open to public inspection, but there will be programs the other three days.

The most notable person con- tributing to the fund so far has been) Lt. Com, John Philip Sousa, who re- cently gave a concert at Valley City and, hearing of the state-wide move- ment proposed, expressed a desire to help in the work. He contribut- ed twenty-five dollars to the fund. One Dollar Each The fund is being raised on the basis of one dollar per family in the towns and cities and one dollar per quarter section from land owners. Non-resident land owners are being asked by the association as well as resident land owners. Non-resident mortgage holders are also being soli- cited together with banks, wholesale houses, manufacturers, ete, doing business within the state. Response is Good The response to the campaign for funds has been so great that the of- ficers of the association have already starteq advertising work, feeling that the completion of the fund is assur- ed. The first step taken by the as- sociation has been the ordering of one million letter inserts carrying advertisements of the state on one side and a county advertisement on the other, 20,000 copies being as- signed to each county inthe state. These inserts will be distributed by the railroads of the state in their mail during the month of November, which has been proclaimed by them as “North Dakota Month.’ JAP NOBLE IN MOVIES Tokyo, Nov. 11.—Yasunaga Higa- shibojo has taken the fatal step.

WEATHER Winter descended on Bismarck last night, but any gloom that may have resulted is being dispelled to- day under the influence of bright sunshine. Snappy weather made it a little bit cold for the Armistice Day exercises today, but the zip in the air was found pleasant by most citizens.

Since then, almost. every crime of major proportions in the city has found its spot light focussed upon him, but he invariably had airtight alibis. Then he bought a half interest in the floral shop and his friends said: “O’Bannion’s made his pile. He's done with beer running.” And O’Bannion, when police would rout him out as they scoured the unde:world after cach new grime, would tell them, “I’m just a business man.
