Dutton, writing in the American magazine, ! Neither a leader nor laggard in! the affairs of his town, Roy L. Gray, the “average” nominee, has an aver- age education, lives in an average home on an average street, drives an average car, and is the head of a family of four, which is the aver- age used by the census bureau. Likes Music ; He is a church member who does not attend services regularly. His tastes in radio music run from cur- rent jazz to light classical composi- tions, and he beleives tte movies to be not as bad as they are reputed to be. The younger gener tion does not alarm him. He hac an average interest in matters which do not di- rectly affect his home or his busi- ness. A party man in national politics, he is independent on local issues. His attitude on prohibition is non- committal because ke believes nei- ther wets nor drys are giving him accurate information on the issue. He is a member of the chamber of commerce, the Rotary club, the Elks and the Odd Fellows. . “Most of all,” he says, “I am in- terested in my home.

The choice of Mr. Gray to wear the title bestowed upon him, ended a nation-wire search in which Mr. Dutton used a map, a weather chart and the census report, dividing the number of cities and towns in the country into its population to find that Fort Madison was the average town in population, location and climate. Once Fort Madison was selected, its citizens were asked to choose from among themselves the man who best repres_nted the average. The city found that “There is a little of all of it in Roy L. Gray.” WARD DISTRICT COURT UPHELD Supreme Court Rules Bank Cannot Sue Itself as Gar- nishee in Collection Manuel Lisa’s Influence With Sioux, Other Tribes on Up- cial to United States in Early Days : Grand Forks, Oct. 17.—(4)—Activ- ity by Manuel Lisa, a Spanish fur trader, was largely responsible for 1 beabard the Indians of the upper issouri river from joining with England against the United States in the war of 1812, according to Dr. O. G. Libby, head of the history de- partment at North Dakota Univer- sity here. Dr. Libby tells about it in the following article, the twen- tieth of a series on the history of North Dakota, written for the Asso- ciated Press and its memher newspa- pers in North Dakota. ee BY 0. G. LIBBY This remarkable man was born in New Orleans in 1772 and died at St. Louis in 1820, He should be remem. bered as the first trader to build a permanent fort on the Missouri riv- er within the limits of what is now, North Dakota. Manuel Lisa was without doubt the most successful trader on that part of the Missouri river north of Omaha. His first fort on the upper Missouri was built in Montana in 1808 at the mouth of| the Big Horn river where it enters the Yellowstone. * This fort among the Crow Indians was two thousand miles from St. Louis and was maintained until 1820, the last winter of his life being spent here with his wife. Two trad- ing forts were built by him in the Dakotas. One was at the boundary line between Nosth and South Da- kota and is famous as the burial place of Sakakawea, the Bird Wom- an, who died there December 20, 1812, The second fort was built in Affirming the Ward county dis- trict court, the suprme court has held that a bank cannot sue itself as a garnishee in an effort to collect money from its depositors. In the case the First Interna- tional Bank of Minot vs. Amos Breh- mer, in whigh the bank named itself as a defendant in its position as gar- nishee, the court held that a bank cannot appropriate a red ee to pay a debt without due legal process or the consent of the depositor. In the case at bar, Brehmer. owed the bank on a promissory note and after several years made a deposit in the bank. The bank immediately brought an action to garnish the money but before the action was completed Brehmer filed a bank- ruptcy petition and was later dis- charged from bankruptcy. The low- er court held that in view of these facts the bank had no claim on the money and the supreme court up- held ‘the decision, adding that the bank could not sue itself. In the case of L, R. Baird, as re- ceiver of the Merchants State Bank of Velva, vs. Carl Hansen, the su- pane court, held tat Lis was the legal possessor ‘grain storage tickets assigned to the bank by a company ‘which owed it money. - sen, who was. sheriff of McHenry county, levied on the storage tickets and sold them. The lower court held Hansen liable for the value of the storage tickets. He appealed to the supreme court but lost again, the county seat of Mercer county. The fort is thus described by Brad- bury, who visited it in 1811: “The Fort consisted of a square block house, the lower part of which was a room for furs, the upper part was inhabited by Mr. Lewis and some of the hunters belonging to the establishment, There were some small outhouses and the whole was surrounded by a palisado, or piquet, about fifteen feet high. I found at- tached to it a very pretty garden, in which were peas, | i and other vegetables, under the, care ot a gardener, an Irishman, who showed it to me with much self im- portance.” Ordering a new trial in the case of ee owen ys. the Great ‘ee ern Rai company, appeal y the latter from Ward county, supreme court held that evidence in the case was insufficient to prove that rheumatism and heart disease of which Olson complained was caused by badgworking conditions in| the Indians on the upper Missouri the Great Northern roundhouse. at by Governor Clark, I Agent at) Berthold.

In addition, I have my yacht, the Electra, which is completely equipped with appara- tus for my researches.” . Mr. Marconi explained that his initial discovery, when the’ first fee- ble messages were conveyed by wire- less, constituted for him merely the starting point of a life devoted to perfecting his invention. “These last few years,” he safd, “have been for me a period of in- tense research activity to perfect beam transmission by short waves. I have succeeded. I have encircled the globe and today communicate with any:of her domin- ions by direct beam telegraphy. I now aim to raise this figure as much as possible and also to apply the |beam principle to radio telephony \In the near future it must be pos sible to speak easily by telepho-e with the Antipodes.” LABOR ALTERS Boost in Output Sought—Five Work-day Week Would Do It, Green Says Tne Amer- abor, at its recent convention in Los An- geles, inaugurated a new policy ‘ying to speed up indus- trial production, as opposed to the traditional labor attitude, ‘ime was when labor's aim was to “make the job last”; to Testrict output and at the same time to seek higher wages. Now, however, with the five-day week as a goal, labor hak taken an opposite course. Jt is seeking to increase production, to , in- crease output so that each work- er can produce more in five days’ work than he formerly could in six, It welcomes the advent of labor-saving ma- chines. Because this marks a most important development in Amer- ican industrial relations the Tribune asked William M. Green, president of the Ameri- can Federation of Labgr, to dis- cuss it for their readers. Mr. Green's article, especially writ- England can| Mr. FORMER POLICY ten in response to that request, is presented herewith. BY WILLIAM M. GREEN President, the American Federation of Labor Contrary to general opinion, the American Federation of Labor's campaign for a five work-day week ‘hwill tend to increase rather than re- tard general production throughout the United States. There are two main reasons why we are striving for a five work play week. The first is that it will better the general industrial conditions in our country. The second is that be- cause of the high tension under which men are now working they need two complete days of rest every week, Labor in No Hurry Of course, it will be some time before the five work-day week will be nationally adopted. We aren’t trying to revolutionize industry overnight. We are going about it gradually so that there will be no financial loss either to manufactur- ers or the public. Many industries have established their business in a five-day schedule. An increasing number of people en- joy the five-and-a-half-day work week now. Saturday afternoon va- cations are being given in almost every industrial community. 2 There are many cconomic points in favor of the shorter working} week. For one thing, a man with two days rest is able to work at a sufficiently higher speed to more than make up for the time he _ is absent from his job. And the in- troduction of so many high-powerec machines forces men to work unde | such tension that they require more rest than they did_under the slowe) methods of production a few year: 0. ae Then there is the machinery itsel: to consider.

Then during the inter- missions I circulated all through the vast throng, and was delighted to learn that Bachman with his magical baton had transformed the entire assembly till they were vir- tually floating away to lofty heights. “Then again at the close of the program, I busied myself listening to the chatter. convinced that. there was no trace of doubt as to the power of music, for cach one seented bubbling to express just the joy that they felt, and there is every reason to believe that the buoyancy will carry them happily along for some time, at least until they can again look for the return of this band of artists. “I have no idea of the amount that the city spends for this class of entertainment, but it is certainly invaluable as a mind easer for those who are harried with the cares of this busy world.” Bachman’s Million Dollar band will play at the Bismarck auditor- ium Friday afternoon and evening, under the auspices of the local American Legion post.
