Bolt Hits Building Unbeknown to the audience the bolt ripped the plaster in two sec- tions of the auditorium ceiling, and it wasn’t until the major part of the crowd had left the building that the fact that lightning had struck the building became known. In Moorhead, the Moorhead Ne’ building was badly wrecked, almost the entire east wall of the one story printing plant in which J. P. Dotson of Fargo recently purchased an interest, being blown out, while numerous store fronts burst under the pressure of the storm. Box Car Blocks Train The Great Northern passenger lo- cal from Crookston to Furgo,. pro- ceedingly cautiously at the outskirts of the Moorhead yards, collided with a boxcar that had been blown out on the line, but the train was going so slowly that no damage occurred. The passengers were brought into the city in taxicabs, and the track cleared und the train brought into Fargo shortly after 1 a, m, About 15 telephone poles were torn down and lodged on the right of way | just east of the Moorhead station of the Great Northern with no further damage. . Shade trees throughout Fargo and Moorhead were heavily hit, hundred of them being cither wholly or par- tially destroyed, with streets partial- cts y closed in some di s sult. The south side of Farg: much heavier hit than the north side. South Side in Darkness A large section of the south side of Fargo went into darkness with the storm as main feed wires from the practically no damage was done. In fact, crowds in downtown theaters were unaware of the fact that a storm of any proportions was in pro- gress. The Moorhead business district, especially that along Center avenue, was hard hit with store fronts out and numerous large signs wrecked. Records of the storm are unavail- able as the equipment of the Moor- head weather bureau was wrecked. The bureau equipment previously had withstood 50-mile winds. Apparently the storm swept upon the two cities from the southwest, It followed two days of extreme hu- midity and a drop in the barometer just prior to the storm to 28,50 compared with a 29 plus normal. No casualties or reports of injur- ies of any persons were received. U. S.

EXPERT TELLS HOW 10 FIGHT CHAIN STORES Paul Ivy Advises Merchants of City to Establish Salesmanship Club ‘The establishment in a salesmanship club to be conducted ,and participated in by the leading re- 1 merchants of the city was ad- ocated by Dr. Paul W. Ivy who a ompanied the St. Paul Trade tou ists at a meeting of merchants in the Rialto theater last night, Dr. Ivy is professor of marketing at | Northwestern university and a mer- chandising counselor. 1 Taking as his subject “Better Mer- chand chain stores are springing up large numbers because they are sei ing the opportunities which the i | dependent 1 n stores ing,” Dr. Ivy pointed out that in wre attractiv because they are kept clean inted and because the stock is neatly arranged in bins. Their sales- people are courteous because they chave been trained to be so, he declar- ed. Should Talk Quality “There is no reason why the inde- pendent cannot do what the chain stores are doing,” he continued. “The main thing chain stores emphasize is price. Independent stores, there- fore, should talk also quality and not only price. The man who will sell his goods only on a price argument is out of luck. The American public has come to want quality and the only way to sell quality merchandise is to train the sales force to show the public the difference between price and quality. “The advantages of the independ- ent is that he can train salesmen that stay and the disadvantage of the chain store is that their employees are con- tinually being transferred. Educational Club “What I advocate is the establish- ment in each town and city of a salesmanship club under the auspices of the Association of Commerce to be conducted by the leading mer- chants. This club will not be social but entirely educational. Methods of selling are discussed at these clubs and demonstration sales are given. “Any city which has a club of this sort will create an organization against which the chain stores will buck with little success.” DEATH LIST FROM TORRID HEAT GROWS Sixty-Nine Persons Die Fri- day in East; Many Are Prostrated HOSPITALS CROWDED Mercury Breaks All High Records for June in Parts of Country (By The Associated Press) _New York, June 6.—The last of x successive days of torrid heat has added 69 victims to the. eastern states’ heat death list, bringing the total to 240. New York City, gasp- ing for breath in a temperature of 96 degrees, recorded 16 deaths due to heat yesterday. Hospitals were crowded. Ambu- lance staffs worked _ incessantly throughout the night. Eighty cases of prostration required medical at- tention. More than 1,500 persons slept in parks last night. Thirteen more persons died in Philadelphia when the mercury broke all high records for June with a temperature of 100.3 degrees. A number of other cities passed the 100 mark. The government weather bureau at Keedaysvile, My., record- ed 104 degrees. FQir more died in Baltimore in a temperature of 101. Other high were Jersey City 101, Middletown, N. Y., 102, and Pough- keepsie 100. Cool breezes brought relief to a few sections. LIST BY CITIES (By The Associated Press) Chicago, June 6.—The toll of heat wave and accompanying storms stood at 238 today, 98 persons having died yesterday throughout the country from causes traceable to the torrid weather. The east suffered the greatest, Friday in the matter of victims of the “air blockade” there being 69 east of Ohio and only 29 in the Buck states and westward. In addition there was one death from the heat at Montreal, Canada. Yesterday’s death list by princi- cities and state follows: New ork 16, Philadelphia 13, New Jer- 12, New England 19, upstate New York 6, Kentucky 6, Pittsburgh Michigan 5, Ohio 5, Baltimore 4, Bos- ton 4, Chicago 4, Indiana 4, Wiscon- sin 3, Minnesota 3, St. Louis 1. To- day marked the beginning cf the sec- ond week of the heat wave and at least two more days of such weather is in prospect with probably higher temperatures in some places than k been yet recorded this yeaz. ibly by Monday there will be a break in the heat wave the weather bureau says but the forecasters are not sure the air blockade in the At- lantic states which has caused the condition over the east and midwest states would be pierced. North Dakota and Minnesota were hit last night by a terrific wind and electrical storm such as has been frequent in the north central part of the country this week. A storm lasting only a few minutes did heavy damage at Crosby, Minn., and other disturbances of short duration but great fury caused damage at Fargo, N. D., and Moorhead, Minn. And again the far west, where it is invariably cool at night even though hot during the day, may have grinned at the sweating east. There was snow at Yellowstone Park and a temperature of 38 was regis- tered at Tonopah in southern Ne- vada. MORTON COUNTY FARMERS HAPPY OVER PROSPECTS Mandan, N. D., June 6—Operators of farms in the vicinity -of Shields, Selfridge, the whole reservation and the southern part of Morton county including the Odense, Fort Rice, So- CRAFTY METHODS DEVELOPED BY BOOZE DEALERS Spokane, Wash., June 6.—The lat- est strategy of bootleggers of this locali the civil authorities de- clare, is to hire some person suffer- ing from chronic illness to market their wares, Then when the peddler comes before a court, the plea is made that he has no money and that a jail sentence would mean sure death. “Within the last three weeks there have been ut least four cases of this kind tried before me” declared Po- lice Justice Fred Morrill. “The de- fendant even had a physician take the witness stand and testify that. it| might mean death for the accused if he should be compelled to serve time in_jail.” Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Louis Bunge corroborated the judge’s state- ment. “Bootleggers that I have pri ecuted during the last month have claimed to be the victims of every disease from barber’s itch to gal- loping consumption,” he said. “The man who is caught with the liquor in his possession usually is under- sized, and pleads for the courts to give him a chance to get out into the country and regain his health.” But the mystifying feature. of the situation is that the cénvicted boot- legger rarely remains in j more than a few days, even if a heavy fine is imposed, the officers state. The money to pay his fine and effect his liberation always is forthcoming from some source, which they believe to be the employing bootlegger. NO AMAZONS THERE London June 6.—The senate of the University of North Wales refused to allow the women students of the college to hold a boat race because “it would involve too great a strain -on them,” len, Flasher communities, are about the happiest folks in the world to- day, says Frank Weinhand] of Man- dan who returned yesterday from Shields where he has been for the past month. He and a brother have broken and seeded 302 acres of flax, much of which is now fully a foot in a most luxuriant growth. “We have had rain every other day around Shields and there has been so much rain the farmers are almost admit- ting it, which is going some for any farmer,” he said. Grain fields of all kinds are show- ing a thicker growth than in years, the farmers coming in from the south country aver. While the rest of the farming districts of the na- tion—Kansas, Nebraska, Texas—have been hit by heat waves, sandstorms, ete. the Missouri Slope is in splen- did” shape.
