BANANA FREIGHT T0 NORTH DAKOTA WILL LOWER IN FEBRUARY Freight Prices on Carload From New Orleans to Bis- marck Drops $40 Jamestown, N. D., Dec. 18.()— [Drastic reductions in carload freight rates on bananas from New Orleans, ‘La., to North Dakota and Minnesota points have been ordered, effective February 5, 1929, by the interstate sales commission, according to a de- cision and final order from the com- mission received by the firm of Springer & Cadieux, who handled the case for the Gamble Robinson com- pany and the Nash Finch company of Minneapolis. The reductions Tange from $12 per barload for Dickinson,’N. D., to $65 for Jamestown. The’ reduction for Fargo is $35, Grand Forks $30, Bis- marck and Mandan $40, Minot $30, Valley City $60, Devils Lake $52. The reductions for Minnesota points range from $12 for Bemidji to $50 for Thief River Falls. Complaint as to present freight rates was filed by Springer & Cadieux on March 10, 1927, who acted for cities of James- town, Mandan, Bismarck, Valley City ‘and Minot, and the two companies already named. The case and decision is considered here of najor impor. | tance, because it not only gives to in- terior points a relatively fair freight rate on this commodity but also paves the way for additional adjustments jon other commodities. In arriving at this decision the commission has used the same basic principles as were laid down in the Jamestown rate case which was filed in 1920 and which was decided in 1925. —_— Civil War Woman | | Spy Dies in North; | | Is Buried in South | o_O Kilbourn, Wis., Dec. 18.—(?)—Belle Boyd, who in life dared everything for the South and then was burned in the alien North, is going home. The body of the Confederacy’s most noted woman spy is to be taken from Tiny Spring Grove cémetery here and reburied in the soil of her native Virginia. The courageous foe of the union has been honored each Memorial day by the Kilbourn G. A. R., old Federal soldiers have placed flowers on the famous spy’s grave each year. She died here June 11, 1900 while on a tour with a theatrical company. Now jtrangements are being made to exhu.ne the body and send it to Virginia where a more fitting monu- ment than the one which jn| eS above her grave here will be erected. On the stone in the cemetery here is the simple inscription: “Belle Boyd,” Confederate spy. “Born in Virginia. “Died in Wisconsin. “Erected by a comrade.” Give Hosiery. Klein’s Tog- KIWANIS WILL OMIT TUESDAY LUNCHEON FOR LADIES ‘NIGHT Social Evening Thursday, De- cember 27; See Making ‘ of Paper on Film The Kiwanis luncheon at noon sat in two places. The roast beef was served in the usual subway. Then the club adjourned to the Capitol Theatre and the members were guests of Gus Wingreene, the man- ager, at a showing of a film on the making of paper. This showed the various processes by which Hammer- mill bond is made at Erie, Pa. The dining session was confined almost exclusively to eating. Jess Melton was the entertainment chair- man of the day and he had prepared his say in printed leaflets at cach Plate, in which the fact that the Print shop novice is a “devil” was made the basis of a theory of satanic origin of the industry. President-elect Worth Lumry an- nounced that there would be no luncheon next Tuesday, on account of Christmas, but there is to be a ladies night in the main dining room of the hotel, Thursday night follow-i ing December 27, at which Governor- elect Schafer will be the principal’ figure. There is to be a short pro- gram. The president-elect also an-| nounced the January entertainment | committee. * Eric A. Thorberg proposed that the club undertake to care for three fam-| ilies in the Good Fellow movement. | He suggested that members who may care to do so turn in their names or conributions to Miss Cashel at the Red Cross office, 2124 Fourth street. | CREDIT PRESIDENT NAMED Fargo, Dec. 18—(7)—G.

YOUTH MUST SPEND TO LEARN TO SAVE, HENRY FORD STATES Advises Young People to Spend Freely to Improve Them- selves Generally Detroit, Mich. Dec. 18—(?)—De- claring that nobody will develop lead- ership by “putting money in the bank,” Henry Ford today reiterated his advice to boys to “spend for lead- ership.” The statement was an am- plification of the one made in Wash- agton recently and which occasioned considerable comment. “A boy’s job is not to accumulate {dollars but to use them to prepare jhimself with the training, knowledge jand experience which every leader If a boy saves, it should be ;with some such expenditure in view,” Mr. Ford said. “The last thing a boy needs is this jidea of hoarding money. The only jgreat thing he does need is to learn how to spend money—all the money he can get—for self-improvement. “To know how to spend money is one of the qualifications of any busi- HAND MADE NECKWEAR OF IMPORTED SILKS WILL BE APPRECIATED $1.50 to $5.00 Bergeson’s Open Evenings |ness_man. I don’t see how anyone, ican learn how to spend money wisely except by spending it. No man ever built a productive institution of any kind by saving money. That is done by knowing how to spend money wisely. Invest in yourself until you are 40. It is time enough to save when you can earn more than you ican spend wisely. But you will never get to that point by saving.” The statement was copyrighted by the Detroit News and the North American Newspaper Alliance.
