This is the third consecutive year in which the number of dairy cows has been ‘decreased in these four states. The high point was reached at the end of 3925 when the dairy cow population ‘was 2,821,000. While the number of gairy cows has been decreased, the ‘Bverage production per cow has cvi- dently been steadily increased, as the farmers’ dairy cash income in the ninth federal reserve district has shown an increase during cach of the last five years. Northwestern dairymen were rais- Yng 6 per cent more 1 to 2-year-old heifers than they were at the end of preceding year. The total num- of dairy heifers was 602,000, Nearly 23 per cent of the number of Gairy cows, which is considerably in excess of the percentage needed for replacements, indicating that the dairymen expect cither to continue building up the quality of their herds ‘by replacing some of their older, low- Producing cows with their better bred young stock, or to increase the size of their herds during the coming year.

During the first two months of 1929 prices of ordinary butcher cattle have averaged about as high as a year ago, but prime butcher steers have been a little low- er, The increased number of cattle on feed in the district is more than offset by decreases in other sections of the United States.

The decreases were @reatest in the most important swine lucing sections, Minnesota and ith Dakota. The only increase was in Montana where there were 14 per gent more hogs on hand than on the same date the year before. For the United’ States as a whole, a 9 per Cent inventory decrease was csti- mated. ner Y-320.” AT THE MOVIES + Havii CAPITOL THEATRE td “The Lone Wolf” stories are among the most popular works of fiction to be made into motion pictures. Since the first “Lone Wolf” production sev- eral years ago, screen fans have been insistent in their demands that other works of Louis Joseph Vance be made into photoplays. Each year Columbia Pictures has released a “Lone Wolf” story with Bert Lytell in the title role. Lytell has become indelibly stamped with the character of the famous cracks- man and has won a large following among those who have never seen him in any other portrayal. Acceding to the many requests for another “Lone Wolf” story, Colum- bia has produced “The Lone Wolf's Daughter,” one of the greatest stories ever penned by Vance. This mystery thriller, with a dialogue and musical synchronization, will be the feature attraction at the Capitol Theatre, starting Monday.

These two fa- vorites have a whole cast of fine look- ing young people with them who make the picture lively and good to look at. Among them are James Ford, Kathryn McGuire, Doris Daw- son, Edward Burns and Lee Moran. In addition to the screen entertain- ment, the Eltinge on Monday intro- duces to the people of Bismarck, the new musical sensation, Auditone, with which Eltinge pictures will be musi- cally accompanied. ‘The smaller number of hogs on hand at the beginning of the 1929 breeding season, coupled with the Probable decreased spring farrowings, ‘as indicated by the December 1 pig burvey, places the. hog producer in a Very favorable position.

Arriving at the ‘hotel Pamela introduces him . to-her brother HAROLD. * % NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER V* : Pamela was having breakfast in bed. She almost always had break- fast in bed. A little earlier than usual today, because last night, for the first time in many days, she had retired before dawn. 4 The maid who brought her break- fast stood off and waited for the cus- tomary complaints, but Pamela lifted the silver water kettle from the alco- hol flame and poured the boiling water over the pulverized mocha in the French coffee pot without a word. : : She was thinking of Stephen and wondering how he got back to the club, or if he hitch-hiked to town. The maid came over and lifted the cover from the toast. “Never mind,” Pamela said. “I can eat without your help. Get out. Well, it would serve Stephen right, she thought, whatever had happened to him. Next time he would know ee he couldn’t check her with his She had finished her breakfast and was dressed, ready to go out, when Harold came in. She heard the maid admit him to her sitting room and called out to know, who it was. Harold came to the door. “Oh, you,” she said, and put on her firmest expression. “Nothing doing, ‘ittle boy. Sister's bwoke.” “Don’t be so mean,” her brother Pleaded. “You get as much money as I do and all you've got to spend it on is clothes.” “Not really?” Pamela mocked. “Just because I don’t gamble... .” “Oh; cut that, please, sis. Let me have a hundred anyway. I gave an I. O. U. to Phil last night and he’s & pest.” “Phil Lavert?” I saw him in West- chester last night.

He was genuinely fond of his sister and it hurt to be called a liar by. her. “I was talking to Dale,” he ex- Plained. “You know, the automobile racer. Just back from South América, If you don’t believe me ask Stephen | pany. Armitage. I saw him there getting an earful. You -were lunching with him yesterday, weren't you? Come to think of, it I heard someone say: you left early with some new man. Was it Armitage?” Pamela was staring at him with wide, round eyes. “Was he really talking to Dale?” she asked. Dale was only a name to her, but ‘his: presence ‘at the club would bear out Stephen's explanation of his neglect of her. - ; arene: Anything strange in lightly. f “But where was Armitage?” “Well, if you dance ‘and when was ‘With. Angela Perkins “I can guess the rest, terrupted quickly. “ I i i : 5 it ie : E al E “She knows how to take care of herself,” Harold said defensively, but he did not linger for further argu- ment. Reminded of Mildred he de- cided to see her and press that invi- tation to the bd gaa * She was busy but she took time to Nod and smile and say good morn- ing before going on with her typing. Harold-leaned against her desk and waited. Finally, with a sigh, Mildred looked up at him. He had patience, she'd learned. *T'd like to Kiss you,” Harold said quite unemotionally. “You look so clean and so... 5 Me “You know you're silly,” Mildred told him. “Maybe,” he agreed. “But there's something refreshing about you, Mil- dred. I guess it’s your cool gray eyes and that interesting pallor your skin has, I think kissing you would be like walking in the pines on a mountain top at dawning.” They both laughed, but Harold meant it. “Not a very exciting person, am I?” Mildred said. “When you think of kissing you are supposed to have in mind surges of fiery emotion.” “On second thought I think I'd Just like to bury my face in your nice hair,” Harold mused. “I'll bet it’s scented with lemon verbena. I read that somewhere in the description of a girl that must have been like you.” “Oh, dear,” Mildred sighed. “That's lovely, Harold. But this isn’t a moun- tain top, though I’ve a mountain of work to do. Please run along and stop distracting me with your studied flattery.” “Studied? It’s no such thing. Why, any other girl I'd talk like that to would advise me-to see a psychiatrist.” “What's that? A fortune-teller?” “Your ignorance is appalling. It’s a...” he stopped and stared fixedly ahead of him.. Then he brought his eyes quickly back to Mildred’s face and began talking animatedly. If his attitude was meant to dis- courage the man whom he'd seen ap- P it was ineffective, “Good morning,” the other said, stopping at the desk and bowing to Mildred. It was to Harold that he spoke. The latter straightened and nodded. “Good morning, Mr. Connor,” he said coldly. So the fellow was going to hang around, was he, and claim ac- quaintance, he thought irritably. Huck seemed to pause uncertainly for @ second or two, then he turned to Mildred. Her name plate on the desk had given him her occupation. “Can you take a letter for me im- mediately, Miss Lawrence?” he asked. Mildred took up her note book. “Certainly,” she said. Perhaps Harold. would go now, she thought. Harold elected to remain. “Joseph Chundler, Hotel Meritone, Chicago,” Huck began, spelling out the name. “Got it?” Mildred nodded affirmatively. “Do you want to come in Rawlins on his next deal?” dictated. “Made $25,000 for me yes- terday. Wire reply if you are in- terested, and send a certified check. Rawlins’ new coup may come off next week. I don’t think he'll let you in for more than $10,000. With best wishes to yourself and Mrs. Chund- ler and the twins. (Signed) Huck Connor. Address,:¢he Judson Hotel, New York City.” Mildred took down the words with. quick accurate strokes. Her face was expressionless but Harold was looking goggle-eyed at Huck. He failed to note the significanee of the address Connor had given. * * * When Joe Chundler, Hotel Meri- tone, Chicago, received that letter he roared. The twins, eh. And who the devil. was Rawlins? “What kind of a sucker do you think Huck’s got qn the string?” he asked Ma Chundier. “Any yap too dumb to seé through that letter could be clipped by a grease-ball. I'm sur- prised at Chuck keeping such com- x ~ “Is zat so?” Ma drawled. “When you got brains like Huck’s you can quit sitting around here beefing to everybody you know to get you goin’ again. If Huck sees fit to send an epistle like this it’s because he’s play- in’ for higher stakes than impressin’ an easy come-on.” x * * Huck, having duly impressed his “come-on” turned to the boy and than “How about lunching with me?” Huck then invited him. “If you heard me give my address you 'T'm @ guest of the hotel. Moved this morning.” “Bee you in the grill,” Huck said and left them. “ ” broke _ out on by the forces of conservatism against what really, was one of Amer- ica’s most loyal bitterness and hatred toward their political go over its record and see statement is not justified. North Dakota the, birthplace of the League, and where the League ruled supremely during the war, oversup- plied its allotment in every one of the national bond issues, we know it yielded up its native sons to help fight its nation’s battles abroad in the most sincere and cooperative manner. We also know that when these soldiers returned from our training camps and the battle-scarred fields of Europe, that North Dakota was among the first states of. the union to pass a compensation act to pay these soldiers $25.00 per month for every month they had spent in our training camps and abroad. We also recall that while these boys were thus their country. We restrain the holders of mortgages’ on in of mortgages on the real estate of our soldier boys from foreclosing on their properties during their absence, from home in such services. How much more in the name of loyalty could be asked from a state, where an unpatriotic display by the Nonpartisan League of farmers could have had its most ungratifying results? But we have gone farther, so let us now recall the infamous oil scan- dal of the Harding administration. This scandal was in the making be- fore President Harding took office, in fact it was attempted during the last Wilson administration but was frustrated that time by former Pres- ident Wilson and his secretary of the navy, Josephus Daniels. When the Republican convention met in Chicago to nominate its candidate for the presidency, this writer has been been informed through reliable sources that Mr. Wood, then a pros- pective candidate for the Republican nomination for president, ‘was ap- proached and told if he would con- sent to name the secretary of the navy and the secretary of interior to the satisfaction of the men who ap- proached him, that he could get the Republican nomination for the high office. Mr. Wood, being a man of honor, declined. Harding got the nomination and named Albert B, Fall and Edwin Denby, secretaries of the interior and navy respectively, and soon after the great oil scandal was on its way to fulfillment. Now, friends, this oil was kept in reserve for our navy’s use. It was not to be used for any other purpose. Our na- tional government, noticing the great consumption of oil by the American public, had kept it in reserve success- fully upto the time of the scandal. It was seen that at the rate of con- sumption that there would soon be @ shortage on oil, so our government at Washington took this precaution so that our navy would have plenty of oil for use in any emergency. . Now what part did this wild, roving, unAmerican beast, the Nonpartisan League, play in showing up the con- sumption of the oil leases and in re- gaining these oil reserves for our navy’s use? To tell it briefly, men kept in power in the U. 8. senate by the Nonpartisan League along with Progressive Democrats worked through a resolution in the senate which called for an investigation of these oil leases. R. M. LaFollette, a League man from Wisconsin, intro- duced the resolution. Wheeler and Walsh of Montana, Senator Ladd of North Dakota were some of the mem- bers of the senate who worked long and patriotically to get these oil re- serves back for the disposition of the navy. In paying tribute, Alfred E. Smith, recent Democratic candidate for president, said: If it were not for the Progressives and Democrats the oil scandal would never have been Bemeuiber it is the old pianoessieen TRINITY ENGLISH LUTHERAN Avenue C at Seventh Street.
