” ! SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1928 : 15 REPUBLICA ~, LEADERS MEET Farm Belt Supporters Seeking Open Sesame to Middle- western Votes five Repul i from the-middlewest, sought in con- ference today the open sesame to th presidential votes of corn belt farm- ers_and the women of the midwest. Hubert Wort:, Republican national ican leaders, principal! * * chairman, was to address the confer- ence and talk with agricultural leaders on the problem of insuring “a strong Hoover-Curtis vote among farmers of the corn belt and north- west: states. Plans for preventing a bolt in a traditional Republican stronghold were expected to com- mand special attention. Leading the proponents of a cam- paign to enlist women’s votes by means of local “Hoover clubs for homemakers” was Mrs. Alvin T. Hert, nation: committeewoman from Kentucky and head of the wom- en’s division of Hoover national headquarters. ‘ The Republican _vote-gathering problem throughout the middlewest ‘was to be discussed by Governors John S. Fisher of Pennsylvania and Fred A. Green of Michigan and James W. Good, in charge of Hoov- er’s western campaign quarters here, Congressman L. J. Dickinson of Towa, newly appointed leader of a ‘\ specialized -ampaign among farm- ers, last night declared that a Smith victory wou'd take farm relief out of the hands of northern farmers and place it with cotton, sugar and tobacco growers of the south. He denounced George Peek, farm leader of Moline, Ill., who has announced he would support Governor Smith, JESSE J. ROTH _ MISSES PRISON Jesse J. Roth of Morton county has escaped the penitentiary, in the shadow of which has amours-had placed him. x Roth was convicted in the Morton county district court of perjury. A jury found that he had perjured him- self to obtain a license to marry the girl of his choice. He swore that the “girl was 18 years of age, whereas the state claimed that she was not that old.

WINDS REVEAL INDIAN RELICS North Dakota Soil Formation Helps Collectors of Indian Lore Although North Dakota is gener- ally recognized as the horie of the leading Indian relic collecturs in the country, few persons know the rea- son, Geologists and antique experts en- gaged in the business of locating and interpreting implemerts used by the Redmen of the prairie believe that the principal reason is in the forma- tion of the soil. In some parts of North Dahota the soil is composed of light gravel and sand which is easily blown Ly the wind. As a result strong winds sometimes bring to the surface rel- ics and curios which had ben buried beneath the ground. , Although this state was the camp- ing and hunting grounds of some of the largest Indian tribes, many other states yield nearly as many souve- nirs, although at a greater depth. The changing formation in most states, the ipo band say, tends to bury the relics deeper in the soil. This viewpoint is also advanced by 0. M. Anderson, Upham, recog- nized as one of the leading collec- tors of Indian antiques in this state. Besides a large collection of Indian arrows, stone hammers and other implements, Anderson is the owner of a large number of antique fire- arms, dating back to the time white men first visited this country, Blind Man Wins Suit | Against State Bureau Affirming the Ward county dis- trict court, the supreme court held that the state workmen’s compen- sation bureau must pay benefits to | Louis Oberg who was blinded and received other injuries when dyna- mite caps exploded. The bureau denied Oberg’s claim and appeal was taken to the district court which ordered the bureau to allow the claim. The bureau then appealed to the supreme court. The high court held that it would not reverse district courts in such cases unless the judgments given ae clearly contrary to the evi- | dence, HERB UNMOVED BY ILL REPORTS Candidate Isn’t Worried Much Over Rumors from Corn | Belt Areas Stanford University, Cal., Aug. 4. ‘With preparation. of his ac: ceptance address finally behind him, Herbert Hoover, Republican presi- dential catdidate, was ceady today to give his full attention to matters of party organization and strategy. arly next week he will begin a series of conf: ‘ences with party leaders concerning these questions. Among the leaders will be Chairman Work of the Republican national committee, who Will bring first hand reports on the progress of the build- ing of a nation-wide machine for the coming campaign, upon his arrival here for the notification ceremonies one week from today. Completion of the acceptance ad- dress lifted quite a load from the shoulders of the nominee. He has given unusual thought and study to | noo: the first message he is to deliver to the voters of the country, anc es- pecially to those portions dealing with two subjects that admittedly are of the highest importance in the campaign at this time—farm relief and prohibition. While some disquieting reports as to conditions in thg corn belt have | reached th: nominte by word of| mouth and in private and published reports, the situation in the north. | west apparently is giving Hoover little concern. He will be on the ground there himself from August 21 to 23. when he visits his birth-| place at West Branch, Iowa, and ex-' Pects to be able to assess the situ- ation more accurately after his con- tact with tie people there. STATE FAIR | SEASON ENDS' With the conclusion of the Slope district fair at Mandan today, the fair season in this state closes until September 3.

More than 250 gradu North Dakota high schools are en- rolled at the Valley ‘City Stat Teachers college for a 12-weeks a training course, according to » E. Allep, president. _A course especially designed to aid the students in teaching rural schools has been prepared, Allen said, and is being taught by profes- sors trained in that work. A rural demonstration school is being conducted on the campus. There students observe teaching methods of Miss Liela C. Ewen, who holds an advanced degree in rural education from Columbia University. The students for the demonstration are brought in from a country dis- trict by bus each morning and re- turned to their homes in the after- mn. “Standards for the certification of teachers should be gradually raised in North Dakota until our state ranks with other nearby states in this respect,” Professor Allen de- clares, “For example, Minnesota requires one year of training beyond high school graduation for the lowest grade of certificate. We require one third of a year. Some states in the union require two years. Under the the present conditions those who have the minimum training are re- jquired by law to teach in the rural schools since they are not eligible to teach elsewhere. The result is, of course, which should fave the best trained teachers have’ the poorest.” SWEDES RETAIN S-EVENT TITLE Amsterdam, Aug. 4.—@)—S. A.

Smith has disclosed that he al- ready has requested Senator Walsh, who is a Roman Catholic and a dry, to meet him for a campaign chat. Walsh is willing. Despite the Democratic nominee’s insistence that’ he is not for the equalization fee as contained in the McNary-Haugen farm bill, George N. Peek, Illinois farm leader, who has enlisted in his cause, insists he is satisfied that Smith's views co- incide with his understanding when he bolted the Republican party.
