D. CALF CLUBS Blue Valley Creamery Institute to Pay All Expenses; Offer . in 16 Other States North Dakota’s 4-H dairy calf club boys and girls now have made some- thing tangible to strive for. An- nouncement has just been made by G. L. Noble, secretary of the national committee on boys and girls club work, that a prize trip to the national dairy show at St. Louis, October 12 to 19, awaits the boy or girl who does the best work in the calf club proj- ect this year. The trip, said Mr. Noble, will be financed by the Blue Valley Cream- ery Institute, which believes thorough- ly in 4-H club work as a means of developing the highest type of citizens Business during February was ham- in many parts of the district vy snows and impassable roads but, in spite of this handicap, the volume was larger than in February, 1928, The daily average of debits to individual accounts at 17 cities was 12 per cent larger than the daily aver- agé for February, 1928. The country check clearings index was 7 per cent higher than the index a year ago. During the first three wecks of Feb- Tuary, freight carloadings of coal, coke and ore were larger than in the corresponding week a year ago and carloadings of grain, livestock, forest Products, miscellaneous commodities and merchandise in less-than-carlots ‘were smaller. This is according to the Ninth dis- trict federal reserve bank report. Department store sales and ship- ments of flour and linseed products ‘were smaller during February than a in which to study and enjoy himself at the “great annual roundup of the dairy industry.” Eligible to compete for the trip are all bona fide dairy calf club members working under the supervision of the State college extension service whose records are up to date, except those who had previously been awarded trips to the National dairy show. Win- ners will be determined at county and state fairs by an elimination sys- tem, the final choice resting with the state club leader, In addition to furnishing the trip for the North Dakota dairy calf club champion, the Blue Valley Creamery Institute is also awarding a similar trip in Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, In- diana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

To him the desire always comes to show his full range of powers, and O’Brien was no exception to this rule during his earlier years in Hollywood. As the husband in “Sunrise” he gives what is for him an entirely new kind of performance. The character is a dull-witted heavy fisherman, a man with an urge to step off the path of righteousness yet with enough conscience to be the victim of strug- gling emotions. Naturally, the oppor- tunity which such a role offers to display histrionic ability is something which is welcome to any artist. STUDENTS PICK TEN OUTSTANDING MEN OUTOFU.

Kyne’s dramatic story of the “Days 49.” The picture, directed by Allan is a vivid histczical rare discovery of gold in California the rush that overthrew and started the modern in the west. Among it features are the showing discovery of gold at Sutter's founding of the Wells Fargo Ex- company, the bandit battle for cargoes of gold, and the Vigilantes. Spanish days of Califor- nia, with their picturesque life, is contrasted with the influx of the horde of gold seekers after the dis- covery at Sutter’s Mill, and the con- Miet between the Spanish settlers and the incoming gold seekers forms a dramatic theme. Hundreds of people and spectacular settings, inctuding a complete replica of San Francisco in 1849, are seen. The Spanish scenes filmed in and about the historic Mission San Fernando, founded by » and one of the few missions still in a state of r:-air service. “Tide of Empire” ran in serial form in Cosmopolitan azine, starting in Grand Forks, March 15.—Ten faculty members he University of North Dakota were selected today as the most representative men on the professional staff, in a student pool in which more than 900 ballots were cast.

RUTH LESTER, his secretary, finds his body Monday morning sprawled beneath the window of his private office. MoMANN, detective sergeant, questions 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 airshaft from Borden’s. McMann’s belief in Jack’s guilt is strengthened by his discovery that Jack’s Colt’s .38 is missing; by Jack’s own admission that he returned to the seventh floor Sat- urday afternoon, and by.-the tes- timony of elevator boys MICKY MORAN and OTTO PFLUGER. BILL COWAN, Jack’s friend, un- willingly tells McMann he heard Jack threaten Borden’s life Sat- urday morning. JAKE BAILEY, Borden's body- guard, is sent for. Mcanwhile McMann questions BENNY SMITH, Borden's office boy; ASHE, his manservant; MINNIE CASSIDY ané LETTY MILLER, seventh floor scrubwomen, and CLEO GILMAN, Borden's dis-. carded mistress, who gives an ironclad alibi. MARTHA MAN- NING, mother of Borden’s illegit- imate son, is involved by Ruth’s detective work. McMann ques- tions her about her relationship with the victim but she declines to answer. She insists she last saw him Christmas Eve. McMann quickly presses her fingers into an ink-soaked blotter and records her fingerprints on a shect of white paper on the desk to compare them with prints dis- covered on the glass panel of the door between the two offices. * eR. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXXIX Ruth Lester felt that she, as well as the frail, tortured woman beside her, could not bear the suspense of the next slow minutes. With nerve-wracking deliberation Detective Sergeant McMann drew another sheet of paper from his pocket—the enlarged photograph of the three fingerprints discovered by Detective Ferber on the glass panel of the door between the outer and the inner offices of the Borden suite; laid it beside the startlingly clear prints he had just made, in ink, of Martha Manning's fingers; studied both sets of prints, then, with mad- dening lack of haste, reached into his coat pocket, secured a small micro- Scope and fitted it into his left eye. At last he nodded with satisfaction, folded both sheets of paper carefully together and placed them in a breast pocket’ of his coat, Then he spoke? “Miss Manning, we will save much time if you will tell me frankly at just what time Saturday afternoon you paid your—farewell visit to Harry Borden.” The thin hands were working des- perately now with a handkerchief to remove the humiliating ink stains but at the detective’s question they grip- ped each other convulsively. “I was not here at all Saturday!” “Then how do you account for the fact that your fingerprints were found yesterday morning on the glass panel of that door?” McMann demanded triumphantly, pointing toward the closed door between the two offices. Martha Manning drew a sharp, quivering breath, then, .to Ruth's amazement she smiled, and the thin shoulders shrugged slightly, as if their owner were admitting defeat. “I am sorry to disappoint you, Mr. McMann, after your brilliant demon- stration of detective-story ingenuity, but—my visit to Harry Borden was made on Friday night—not on Satur- day afternoon ” “Is that so?” McMann _ snorted, after the first impact of the shock. “Well, we'll soon find out if you were here Friday night! Perhaps you're not aware of the fact, Miss Man- ning, that every tenant or visitor coming into this building after seven o'clock in the evening is required to sign a register kept in the elevator.” He rose and was striding toward the communicating door to give an order to Birdwell, when Martha Manning stopped him, with a cool admission: “T’'m quite aware of the custom you mention, Mr. McMann! And you may save yourself the trouble of Ruth knew by the curious expres- sion that distorted the detective's face, that he had failed to check the regis- ter for Friday night, and was now dis- FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 19zy pite Hampering Snow .

Federal bringing the. quasantine aren to. ths e area eastern border of Wisconsin. “The corn borer,” Ruggles said, “has now worked its way into the upper peninsula of the Wolverine state and in western Indiana has its western outpost on the shore of Lake Mich- igan, The general westward move- ment of the borer amounted to only about 15 miles, in 1928 as compared with its usual advance of approxi- mately 30 miles. “In the opinion of quarantine offi- cials representing 13 north central states, including Minnesota, the high- way inspection work on the western border front has been a large factor in preventing the more rapid spread of the pest. Last year 3,000,000 auto- mobiles were searched and 300,000 ears of corn removed, 300 of which were found to contain borers. While comparatively few ears were infested, the entmologists feel that failure to intercept these might have resulted in pibge ated Ngteny cay of the in- sect lence way inspection will be continued. “Close observation in the areas where the corn borer is prevalent shows that serious damage by the insect is distinctively localized being principally confined to areas known to ecologists as “swamp-tree type areas,’ The reason for damage to these areas is cnet to bed that corn Teaches just the proper state of growth by the time the borer lays its eggs to present optimum conditions for reproduction of the pest. There- fore, it is thought that one logical means of control will be the develop- }* ment of varieties of corn which can be planted later in the season,” Rug- gles said.
