On an average of every five days this country suffered a disaster of sufficient magnitude to bring the Red Cross into action. The amount of money the organization spent in meeting these emergencies is great- er than the budgets of twenty-six States, while only six cities in the country have a population larger | than the number of disaster suffer- ers assisted. Floods raging over thousands of miles, fires destroying whole vil- lages, tornadoes and hurricanes sweeping over entire states, and death dealing explosions combined to make the year one of unprece- dented calamities, The outstanding disaster of the year was the Mississippi Valley flood, where the organization assist- ed more than 607,000 persons dur- ing the emergency period, and is still carrying on extensive recon- struction work. Already rehabili- tation aid has been given to nearly 500,000 persons. After rescuing those in danger from levees and house tops, the refugee population was fed, clothed and sheltered in 149 refugee camps.

Business men of Minot had the vision to see that all-weather roads leading into their city are bound to ‘insure steady trading all the year around and to make residents of the north, cast and west and 60 miles to the south, think of Minot when they have any trading to do. Cooperation Brings Results Cooperation between the commis- sioners of Ward county and sur- rounding counties with the business men of Minot have helped insure the “Magic City” a place supreme in its territory. And the foresighted road program still being carried on, with extensions reaching farther and farther out in all directions, is drawing trade to Minot which nominally would go to other cities. Improvement of State Highway. “No. 6 south through Max and on to- ward Garrison has caused people from that territory who want to be be sure they will be able to do their trading and return home without be-| ing stuck on impassable roads, to go to Minot rather than to Bismarck. The dollays and cents value of the trade that is going to Minot and should be going to Bismarck, though impossible to estimate, is neverthe- less large. As time goes on, unless Bismarck and Burleigh county hast- en their building program. Minot is going to draw more and more from the territory to the north of Bismarck. Habit is a strong thing. The average man will start trading in one city and then continue going there after that. The first city which insures him the best roads is the one which will inevitably get the trade. That is where Minot is strong and Bismarck is weak. Map Shows Road System The accompanying map shows the development of roads in the Minot area. Directly north is a graveled connecting link to Souris and on into Canada, State Highway No. 6, giv- 80 miles to the north. At Rock Lake, it connects with an east-and-west highway leading on into the Turtle Mountain district, nominally Devils Lake’s territory but because of good roads is Minot’s territory. Running northwest is Highway No. 9, graveled all the way isto Ken- mare and Bowbells. And Highway No. 5 provides a connecting link to Crosby and nearly to the Montana boundary. This road is also graveled. Highways 85 and 40, running north and south, would bring some trade to Wiiliston if they were im- proved, but in their presnt condition throw practically all the trade to- ward Minot. U. S. road No. 2, the Roosevelt trail, an important trans- con‘inntal road, is improved all the way to the western boundary of the state, and because of Minot’s super- ior size and greater variety of merchandise, insures a market in all this territory, despite Williston. territory! In unfavorable weather, they are unable to get to the town to which they would naturally go could they be assured of all-weather Minot business men have had the vision to realize what good roads ‘mean to their city. As long as Minot continues its i ee campaign for good roads, it will continue to grow and prosper and become a trading center of increasing import- ance. And more and more, unless Bismarck improves its roads, Minot will eat into its territory and attract a by right belongs to Bis- marck. Detective Is Unable to Identify Officer Washington, Nov. 8.—(AP)—One of the props supporting-the charge that the government itself tampered with the jury in the Fall- Sinclair case gave way today when a Burns detective was unable to identify the federal officer mentioned as having conversed. with a juror before the mistrial was ordered. : W. V. Long was the detective and H. R. Lamb, of the attorney gener- al’s office, was the government McKenzie county, through the Sanish bridge, is brought in close contact, with Minot with a link in Highway No. 23. Po the east, U. S. road No 2 is improved all the way except between Rugby and Towner, and that is now being improved. As a result, th: territory which would nomir lly belong to Devils Lake, is being turned toward Minot. Cutting Into Bismarck Territory State highway No. 9, to the south- east, is improved as far as Voltaire and will eventually be improved to Harvey, bringing that territory in close touch with Minot. State High- way No. 6, to the south, and directly affecting Bismarck is being im- proved so that Underwood and Gar- | tison and the major part of McLean county are becoming more and more a part of the Minot territory. Then, too, with the improved east- and-west road to Carrington, resi- dents of McClusky and towns in that vicinity, when No. 6 is completed south as far as Underwood will have the choice of going to either Minot or Bismarck, equally distant. They will go to Minot, because they will be assured of all-weather roads. ing at the minimum a territory of And those towns are in the Bismarck agent. Brought face to face, Long said Lamb was not the man, adding the evidence to denials previously made by Lamb and Norman Glas- cock, the juror involved. This development took place in the quiet of a courthouse corridor which was thrown into excitement yesterday when William J. Burns produced affidavits from Long and another agent which turned the jury- tampering investigation into a new direction. The affidavits told of the trailing of an automobile bearing Lamb’s license number, and the sub- sequent meeting of the occupant and the juror. Will Require Another Week Another week of grand jury_in- quiry into the jury surveillatce charges was forecast today by those directing the investigation. After several excursions afield, the inquisitorial body has returned to the main issue, the identity of the person who furnished the funds which a dozen operatives of the Burns agency freely spent in shad- owing the 10 men and two women who were to have sat in judgment upon Sinclair and Albert B. Fall. New efforts to connect the wealthy oil operator directly with the em- ployment of these detectives were seen in the summoning of Harry Jef- ferys, chief cler’- of the Sinclair Consolidated Oil company of New York, who, the prosecution has been told, actually engaged the services of the Burns agency in the under- taking which furnished the latest sensation in the oil scandal. ‘Seventh Heaven’ Is Beautiful Love Story “Seventh Heaven,” a John Golden production which play: an engage- ment at the Bismarck auditorium dramatic stage. Its heart beats pulse with the gripping emotions of war days, and its tender sentiment lifts one out of the sordid back- {ground of a Paris slum to a tiny next Monday, is az beautiful a love | story as was ever unfolded on aj Women are smarter than men af mathematics. They have ta be! room, six flights up, which was heaven to one couple. It deals with a street waif, forced to pawn stolen articles, rescued from the police by the remarkable Chico, who is alway doing what he doesn’t want to do; her three days of unmixed happiness, free from the tyrannical sister, and the joyous plans for the marriage. It is here that the stern hand or war steps in, separates the couple and nearly wrecks Diane’s newly-found faith in the goodness of things until it is re- established by the dramatic return of Chico. It is the happiest of all themes, the transforming power of love. Chico is a cynic, an unbeliever, but blessed with infinite capacity. Diane is a frail creature, a slave to an absinthe-drinking sister, but holding steadfastly to an ideal which finds expression of Chico’s “If you don’t like what you are forced to do, then it is not bad.” How they work out the twisted philosophy that years of privation have given them; how Chico realizes his three life ambi- tions in one fell swoop—these are merely tributes to the genius of Austin Strong, the playwright, and the skillful touch of John Golden, producer.
