LISTED FOR MARGH; ONE ON AT MANDAN * Killdeer Will Receive Shipment Tuesday for Disposal to Dairy Farmers WASHINGTON HERD IS IN Breede?s in Northwestern Part of State Ask That Lots Be Sent There The purebred sire program which, since December 1, has been under way in the southwestern part of the state, will be brought to a close in that area during the latter part of March, according to B. E. Groom, chairman of the agricultural commit- tee of the Greater North Dakota as- “sociation, sponsor of these sales. Three sales have been scheduled for this week: Killdeer, March 12; Halliday, March 14; and Hazen, March 15. It i. Js expected that two more similar of- “ferings will be slated at points on the main line of the Northern Pacific this month. The sale put on at Mandan, Satur- lay, started off with purchase of six ead of purebred sires. Five of these “were out of the Holstein lot shipped in from Hazel, Minnesota, by John .. Husby, former North Dakota dairy * commissioner, who now is on the staff of the Greater association as dairy cattle buyer. Carver and son, dairy- men at Burleigh, bought two of the Martin Underdahl, Hebron, bought another; Henry Petri, Man- dan, bought a red polled bull; and Martin Apland sold a shorthorn out of # lot he brought in from Page. A Carload of beef sires arrived from ‘Washington in the afternoon and one bull was sold out of these shorthorns. ‘The Mandan sale was continuing today, while Husby left for Killdeer to prepare for the sale there tomor- tow. He is selling a lot of Holsteins. For this final series of meetings and sales something over 60 head of cattle are assembled at Mandan. Mar- tin Apland recently selected one car- load in eastern North Dakota from the herds at the Hartley stock farm at Page, the W. C. Byram herd at Cas- selton, the D. C. Black herd at Gran- din, and from other smaller breeders territory. Husby’ has just selected a car of young dairy bulls from herds in the Crookston and Thief River Falls, Minn., territory, for sale by the asso- ciations during the March campaign. A. J.

There is no single featured player in the film, on the contrary, all four main characters of the story are filled by actors and actresses who them- selves enjoy stellar rating. The four players are William Po- well, Evelyn Brent, Clive Brooks, and Doris Kenyon. The screen version of “Interference gives each artist an admirable oppor- tunity to display his or her histrionic ability without fear of being over- shadowed by any fellow player in the cast. Each player fills a vital role in the story. “Interference” was first presented on the stage in London. It met with instant approval from English the- atregoers and held the boards in the English capital*for*two years. It was then brought to New: York where it ‘was accorded as enthusiastic a recep- tion as in England, running for nine months, Scouts for Paramount considered the play ideal for presentation on the screen and the play was purchased for production. Matters become complicated when Powell, or Voaze, returns from the dead. He previously had married the wife of Sir John and was later re- Ported killed in the war. His old love, Deborah Kane (Miss Brent) wishes to be taken back by him but he refuses, She then blackmails the wife of Sir John. How the problem is finally solved brings to the screen one of the most interesting stories ever filmed. Lothar Mendes directed the screen to peek behind the boudoir curtains into the life of a young couple, who are more or less baffled and bewild- ered by their new status. Their quar: rels are humorous and the “in-laws,” butting in on everything, add much to the hilarity of this intensely human ; comedy of affairs. Lewis and Gulliver are both very good in their roles. This pair will be remembered for their featured work in “The Collegian” series of short comedies. Bryant Washburn and Jane Winton are the other mar- ried couple, adding much subtle com- edy. Kathlyn Williams and Phillips Smalley are the “in-laws.” Eddie Phillips, another “Collegians” grad- uate has a Lothario role. Montana Youth Wins College Scholarship Jamestown, N. D., March 11.—The H. B. Silliman scholarship, granting $50 in cash, awarded cach year to the Jamestown college student select- ed by the faculty for scholarly achievement, worthy personality and character, and prospective future use- fulness, this year went to Kenneth Kurtz, senior, as announced by Dr. B. H. Kroeze, president of Jamestown college. I Mr. Kurtz is the son of a teacher, his father being at the head of the Indian school at Poplar, Montana. Though he receives this recognition for scholarship, he is not a mere “grind”; his versatile interests in- clude athletics, music, sports. He is high in pole vaulting and high jump- ing, having helped win several track meets for Jamestown college, is devoted to the violin, and took the initiative in starting the sport of archery at his school. He is also a member of the college chorus, has taken part in several col- lege dramatic productions, and holds membership in the honorary English Production. CAPITOL THEATRE An intimate, sophisticated revela- tion of newly-married life is con- tained in Universal's clever comedy, “Honeymoon Flats,” which will be shown at the Capitol Theatre for to- day, Monday and Tuesday with George Lewis and Dorothy Gulliver co-starring. ‘The picture is revealing and inter- esting, especially to all people who ‘still consider marriage a romance and even to those who don't but did-at least during the first year. “Honeymoon Flats” permits them and dramatic fraternities on the campus, HOW DO YOU FEEL ON ARISING?

A total of $4,590,000 worth of livestock was handled during that year by the as- sociation operating in the state. These facts, along with hundreds of others are released in Bulletin 223, Cooperative Marketing of Livestock in North Dakota, by Alva H. Benton }and Harold E. Seielstad of the de- partment of marketing, North Da- kota Agricultural college.

Improved Machinery Aid to Farm Relief Washington (AP)—More active partici ion by the government in encouraging and assisting farmers in the adoption and use of the most efficient and economical labor-sav- ing, time-saving and crop-saving machinery is regarded by the na- tional advisory council on research in farm equipment as an essential to farm relief. Already 24 states are cooperating through their agricultural colleges and experiment stations in studies for the further utilization of elec- tricity on farms. More than 40 states are participating in the general studies of improved mechanical equipment as an important form of “first aid” to agriculture, Out of these studies, H. B. Walk- er, federal agricultural engineer, predicts, may come benefits that, within the next decade, will place agriculture on a new level both so- cially and economically. Italy Deals Firmly With Bootleg Liquor Rome (AP)—A nation-wide cam- vaign to clean up illicit liquor stills has been inaugurated by the Fascist government, in order to improve-the health of Italians generally, and to make sure that foreign visitors dur- ing the forthcoming tourist season may be certain of obtaining unadul- terated products when they order the spirits of their respective coun- tries at Italian bars. Already a big haul has been made at Pistoia, where a clandestine dis- tillery of “grapes,” that fiery water of the Apennines, was put out of commission. Another and no_ less fruitful raid was operated at Civi- tavecchia, where for a long time methylated alcohol and.a bit of col- oring mixture has been put into empty whisky bottles and then qumped on the Roman liquor mar- Stamboul Sewer Has Columns of Temple Constantinople (AP)—Sewers that lead to temples are one of the mira- cles of this city of a thousand and one underground secrets.

RUTH LESTER, sec- retary, finds his body Monday morn- ing, sprawled beneath the airshaft window of his private office. McMann, detective sergeant, qucs- tions the following suspects: Ruth, MRS. BORDEN, Borden’s estranged wife and mother of his two children; RITA DUBOIS, night club dancer, with whom Borden was infatuated, and JACK HAYWARD, Ruth’s fiance, whose office is across the narrow air- shaft from Borden's. McMann’s belief in Jack’s guilt is strengthened by the testimony of cle- vator boys MICKY MORAN and OTTO PFLUGER, and of BILL COWAN, Jack’s friend, who says he} heard Jack threaten Borden’s life Saturday morning when he saw Bor- den struggling with Ruth in the oppo- site office. McMann sends detec- tives to bring in CLEO GILMAN, Bor- den's discarded mistress and JAKE BAILEY, his bodyguard. Meanwhile he questions BENNY SMITH, Borden's office boy; ASHE, his manservant; MINNIE CASSIDY and LETTY MILLER, seventh floor serubwomen. McMann shows Ruth a fresh scar in the wall outside Jack's window; also a flattened bullet found in the cement seven flights below. He says Borden fired this bullet too late at his murderer who stood in Jack's window. That evening at Ruth's apartment, i ©1929 By NEA Service, Inc. it had been taken out, with the rest of the papers, by Minnie Cassidy, where was it now? “If, as McMann seemed to believe, Rita Dubois had robbed his dead body, why should she also steal a let- ter written to Borden by another woman? There was no possibility that Rita herself was the writer. The orchid-tinted envelopes marked “Per- sonal” had been coming to Borden's office long before he had ever met and fallen in love with the dancer. If Mrs. Borden had killed her hus- band before Rita's arrival and rob- bing of the body, she could not have known of the existence of the letter, could have had no motive for taking it if she had known, for the letter had not been written by Elizabeth Borden. Ruth knew the discarded wife's handwriting very well, had seen her small, delicate, precise signature each month as an endorsement of Borden's check for separation allow- ance. Suddenly the obvious course of action occurred to the excited girl. There was no use in puzzling and worrying over the letter now, but to- morrow morning. . . She lay back on her pillows which immediately began to dull her brain, for maybe Celby Lester, her father, would come to her again.... Colby Lester did not come again that night, but the next morning his daughter woke, feeling strangely hap- Py and comforted, quite equal to performing the two errands she had she and Jack try to fit into the sor- did puzzle Ashe’s and Minnie’s testi- mony about some mysterious woman with a contralto voice whom Borden feared. Jack recalls a MARTHA MANNING with such a voice who called on him about insurance and who was strangely interested in Bor- dens office across the airshaft. Ruth wonders if this is the mother of Bor- den's illegitimate son. and makes a joking promise to Jack to take charge of the investigation herself on Tues- day. ex * * NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXXV Perhaps it was because she was so tired and suddenly so sleepy that the prayer for help which Ruth Lester addressed, with childlike faith, to her Heavenly Father, ended in an ex- tremely unorthodox manner, de- signed to confound a less understand- ing God than the One in which she believed. For her last words, before sleep settled upon her, like a smothering eiderdown comfort, were: “Please come back to me daddy. I'm not clever enough to save Jack without your help. It’s just the kind of case you always loved. You could make all the pieces of the puzzle fit. Come back and laugh at me for being so stupid—stupid—” And with miraculous suddenness, part of that drowsy, naive prayer was answered. Subconsciously, Ruth Les- ter knew that she was dreaming, that her actual body—aching with fatigue —was lying on her couch bed in her tiny bachelor-girl apartment, that her adored father, Colby Lester, always referred to as “the famous criminal lawyer,” was dead. But her Prayer was being answered,.and what. did it matter. that it was only a dream? But she musn’t wake up too The dream was a kindly one, not fantastic or absurd. She was back again in her father’s library, curled kittenwise in his arms, watching with fascinated blue eyes as his long, slim fingers arranged and rearranged bits of a jig-saw puzzle spread out on the desk before him. “What is that big, square-shaped Piece, daddy?” she heard her own voice inquiring, as those expert fing- ers made a quick rearrangement of the pieces of the jig-saw puzzle. “That, infant?” She distinctly heard his beloved, familiar chuckle. “Why, that’s the prchid-tinted letter, of course—” Perhaps, Ruth mourned later, if she had not‘ cried out so sharply at that she would not have awakened, would have seen the complete solving of that jig-saw puzzle under the ex- pert manipulation of Colby Lester's fingers. But she did wake up, with her own exclamation of self-disgust and her father's last words ringing in her ears. * * * With the sharp clarity of mind and memory which comes in the small hours of the night, Ruth re- called every detail of a scene which she had forgotten throughout the dreadful first day of the police in- vestigation into the murder of Henry P. Borden. She saw again the large, square orchid-tinted envelope, with its dis- tinctive, angular handwriting in vio- let ink, saw herself seated at her desk in the outer office of Borden's suite, sorting Saturday morning’s mail, laying aside unopened the ex- otic missive marked “Personal,” saw later, the gesture of repulsion and breast pocket of his vest. In her excitement, Ruth sat straight BF a2 set herself—without benefit of police sanction—and then, as she had im- pudently expressed it to Jack Hay- ward the night before, to taking charge of the investigation into the murder of Henry P. Borden! * * * While she was dressing, a sudden thought occurred to Ruth, and she ran to the front window of her tiny apartment. As she had expected, she saw a man strolling leisurely up and down the sidewalk across the street from her apartment house, his head turning now and then to glance casu- ally toward the cheaply pretentious entrance. Ruth blew a finger-tip kiss to the unconscious watcher, laughed exult- ingly, then whirled back to her dress- ing-table. “I’m going to lead you an awful chase, dear, obvious old ‘shadow’!” she promised him. And she kept her promise. Twice, as the detective’s taxi drew almost abreast of hers, the girl thought she was going to be stopped and ques- tioned, but undoubtedly the man had his orders not to jerk on the leash. The first was not @ long trip. Ruth’s taxi drew up before an old but digni- fied apartment house in one of those side streets which offer their resi- dents an impeccable address—the kind of address which makes de- partment store saleswomen look at the owner with interest and respect. “Please wait. Ruth directed her driver. “Mrs. Borden is not seeing anyol miss,” the uniformed doorman her, when she asked to be announced over the house telephone. “Please get Mrs. Borden on the phone, and tell her that Miss Ruth Lester wants to see her on a matter of vital importance,” Ruth directed crisply. Three minutes later Borden's widow and his secretary confronted each other in the large foyer of Mrs. Bor- den’s apartment. Deep shadows from @ sleepless, grieving night lay like black moth wings beneath the widow’s eyes, and accentuated the ghastly pallor of her face. Before Mrs. Borden could frame her dignified protest at the intrusion, | 4 Ruth put the question she had come to ask: “Mrs, Borden won't you please tell me what you know about Martha Manning?” At that name, color flooded her pale face and her eyes flashed angry fire. Ruth was almost sorry she had come.... “How dare you mention that wom- an's name to me?” Mrs. Borden gasped, her hands at her throat, as if the words were choking her.
