To- morrow has been set as entry day, and exhibits will ‘put in place in the auditorium and in the temporary building erected next t» it, Atany Exhibits ‘rrive Many exhibits have already ar- rived and are being »u_ in place, H. P. Goddard, secretary of the show association, said today. It is ex: pected that the number of entries this year will be larger than ever before, especially since the corn crop in the southwestern and south cen- tral part of the stat is much better this year than last. Officials of the show poii ted out that it will be better than ever this year and asked that the people of, Bismarck turn out in good numbers to attend it. Feeling that the peo- ple of this city are intrested in the show, they held no ticket sale this year, they said, but are relying on citizens to swell the «.tendance. While the show is a stat rffair, it is also Bismarck’s show and_pri- ae deserves support here, they sald, Governor A. G. Sorlie will form- ally open the show Thursday at 2:30 . m., after which C, T.

Evans, deputy minister of agriculture for the province of M: itoba, a speaker on Friday's pro- gram, is highly praised in a letter br ow officials today from Ralph H Webb, mayor of Winnipeg. “Mr. Evans is particularly the man you would like to have,” Mayor Webb says in his letter. “He is one of our best known agriculture au- thorities in this province and in western Canada. He is also very much interested in coonerative work between your section of the country and ours and vice versa. It is one of his greatest pleasure. to visit on both sides of the line and to do every- thing he pos: can to create bet- ter understanding and mutual inter- est in our many common problems and to carry on che gerat work of good fellowship and good will be- tween our two countries, “We all realize that, after all, we are all one peope ‘n ‘this rreat northwestern section, and 3. equal- ly interested in the development of the enormous opportunities on both sides of the line, especially in the promotion of agriculture, means so much to the people in this great northwestern country. “I hope that the corn show will be the most successful in the his- tory of North Dakota and that cveryans will go away happy that it has been such a success. On behalf of the people of this province and the city of Winnipeg, I wish to ex- tend our very best wishes to the peo- ple of North Dakota and to Bis- marck in particular. “We hope that the 1927 crop has been as successful a ne as it ap- peared some two or thiee months ago when some ef us were traveling through North Dakota. “Next sear we hope to have the pleasure of bringing a large party to Bismarck on a good will tour to Get acquainted and study and learn about the splendid things ycu have in North Dakota.” Henry Moity Confesses Brutal Murder of Two New Orleans, Nov. 1.—(?)—Police announced today that Henry Moity has confessed that he alone killed his wife and sister-in-law and then ed their bodies in a trunk after eheading the two women and ampu- tating their arms and legs, Previously Moity had insisted that his wife and Mrs. Joseph Moity, his sister-in-law, were murdered by a red-headed sailor.

Lillian LINKED WITH RAI Reduction in Differential Be- tween Rail 2nd Water Rates on Wheat Shipments Would Be cf ‘Tremendous Benefit’ to Dakota and Minnesota Farmers, Witness Tells I. cc. 1.—(AP)—Wel- fare of the agricultural northwest is closely linked with the rail rate structure from Minneapolis to “th Niagara frontier” district contiguous to Buffalo, a representative of the int-rstate commerce commission was told t@lay by Gust }. Ewe,* vice president and general manager of the Van Dusen Harrington company, at the grain rate hearing here. Reduction of from six to seven cents in the differential in the rail rates from Minneapolis and cargo rate from Duluth on coarse grains, and from seven to eight cents in the differential between rail and water shipments would be of “tremendous benefit” to farmers i North and South Dakota and Minn sota, who sell their grain to line e vators owned by Minneapolis grain marketing firms, he said. Lower Rate From Southwest the present time, Buffalo are using wheat produced in the southwest, which is shipped to them at a lower rail rate than the northwest enjoys,” he said. “Some wheat and coarse grains from the northwest go east to the Niagara frontier tcrritory at the pre--nt time through the Duluth terminal, but, because of high rail rates to the head of the lake. the movement of cargo grain for consumption there is relatively”:mall. Most of the cargo shipments are for export, “Northwest wheat is desired by eastern millers because of its high protein content, and they are willin, to pay a premium for it. ‘Although the lack of facilities at the line ele. Minneapolis, N agents do pay over the “cargo price’ for wheat with high protein content. If this new market were opened to us by creation of a rate structure reasonably competitive with an all- water route, it would undoubtedly he of great benefit to the entire northwest.” 11 Minot Buildings Will Be Padlocked Minot, N. D., Nov. 1.—(?)—Pad- locking of 11 places in Minot, where liquor has been sold, will take place in the near future, as a result of decrees ordered entered by Judge John B, Sanborn of St. Paul in fed- eral court, who will soon sign in- junctional orders, under which the marshal’s office will proceed to at- tach the padlock In several instances the places can be reopened if the owners post bonds of $1,000 each. Subsequent violations of the liquor laws in the same places would make the owners liable under the bonds as well as being in contempt of court, it is said. The injunctional proceedings were instituted by the United States dis- trict attorney's office with the idea in mind of attempting to lessen the liquor traffic by making it difficult to cbtain quarters to be use for the illegal sales of liquors, men Tepol for work, but the forces were still far below normal, ° es KEMAL PASHA REELECTED » Alfred Hebert, 32, 8 a inqu! the accusation of polygamy on the He is pictured here with all Williams Hebert, and No. 10 vators prevent storage of special! m milling wheat to a great extent, ory | ‘ TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1927 Lita Chaplin, Charlie's divorced wife, called on President Coolidge the vith her here on the white house steps are her mother, Mrs. 'y, and former Goverpor William Spry of Utal them, WELFARE OF AGRICULTURAL NORTHWEST L_ RATE STRUCTURE who presented MRS.

Presbyterians Plan Special Meetings A change in the method of the midweek meeting has been made in the Presbyterian church. At a con- ference last Sunday afternoon, at which représentatives from the adult, young people’s and high school greups of the church were present, the type of service for Wed- nesday evenings was discussed. “The mideweek meeting,” said the Rev. Paul S. Wright, who presided, “should be designed for the entire church constituency and not for a special section of the church. The program should be such that every age group would be interested in it.” The Pro; gram The program as outlined by the committee involves three elements, worship, instruction and fellowship. The various age groups of the church will gather for fellowship at @ potluck supper to be served at 380. Those who find it impossible to come to the supper are asked to come at 7:15 and join in the worship oe which immediately follows. e various groups will then meet in separate c’ s for instruction which will be upon the prac- tical activity aspects of the church’s work. Tomorrow evening will be de- voted to the organization of the mid- week meeting as a permanent part of the Presbyterian church’s pro- gram for the year. Meetings Greatly Needed “Heretofore,” said Mr. Wright, “we have acted as though the adult members of the church received all the Christian worship and fellow- ship and instruction in the affairs of the Kingdom in a single hour of worship. And we have expected these elements to pesmepliat to the younger. groups in the brief session of the Sunday school. If we are to function as an efficient unit in reat army, it is imperative that we supplement these by an ade- quate meeting for the mid-week. The ‘Church Night’ is intended to designate the character of these services as adapted to the needs of the church as a whole, and the re- sponse of the whole church is ex- [CNEWS BRIEFS —( nds, considering political storm over return of Prince Carol has sufficiently abated.
