_ PAGETWO PUT FINGERS UPON ND. UTILITY: FLAWS Annual Report Shows Decline; of Commonwealth’s Ventures in Industry and Bustness BANK LEFT BIG PROJECT Policy of Wheat Buying Held to Lack Real Effort to Get Best Protein Quality Review of the activities of all phases of the state's business coming under the jurisdiction of the State Indus- trial commission is contained in the’ annual report of that body, which is now in the hands of the printers. Curtailment of the state's indus- trial activity in recent. years has r¢ duced the number of enterprises un- til now only the Bank of North Da- kota, the State Mill and Elevator as- sociation, the :Home Builders asso- ciation and the returned "soldiers fund remain under the commission's jurisdiction. Of these, the state mill and ele- vator is placed by law in the hands of the governor, with the industrial commission exercising only supervis- ory authority in the matter of audits, and the Home Builders association and returned soldiers fund arc vir- tually closed, leaving only the Bank of North Dakota as the commission's major concern, the report shows. Mill Loss Now $1,632,891.18 The report shows that the commis- sion, since it was created in 1919, has issued $34,607,500 in bonds, of which all but $250,000 are outstanding. The cost of the department during the same period has been $199,720.06. The condition of the State Mill and Elevator association is shown in the report by the data of K. C. Nelson, auditor for the commission, and by the audit report of O. B. Lund, rep- resenting the state board of auditors. Lund’s report is substantially a check ‘on the figures compiled by Nelson. The Nelson report shows that the all-time loss on the state mill and elevator at the end of 1928 was $1,632,801.18, of which $1,493,000.68 was chargeable to the mill depart- ment, $156,357.71 chargeable to the elevator department and a gain of $16,467.21 credited to the local eleva- tor at Grand Forks. . . During 1928, the mill department lost $188,343.19; the elevator depart- ment lost $23,894.75 and the local ele- vator gained $5,038.69. During that period 2,300,179 bushels of wheat were ground into 514,790 barrels of flour and 20,000 tons of feed. Sell Flour at Profit at Home Flour sales totaled 569,984 barrels, of which 192,871 were sold in North Dakota; 9,429 in South Dakota and Towa; 65,900 in Minnesota; 9,708 in Wisconsin and 292,076 in eastern states. Gains were recorded in all sales ter- ritories except Wisconsin, and Nelson comments that the “gain in all terri- tories except the eastern is a very favorable showing, but the eastern sales are entirely out of line as com- pared with the total amount of bus- | # iness done. Whenever eastern sales exceed 40 per cent of the total sales it means too great a loss for the Profitable territories to carry and make any showing with the plant, un- Jess far better prices can be obtained.” Nelson shows that flour sold in the east is sold at a loss, whereas sales in North Dakota are made at a profit. He comments that it should not be hard to maintain sales in the states near 200,000 barrels annually and that. “if the same effort and system would be applied to the northwest 4 territories as to the eastern, I believe oo '*» a Weather Report H rm e * ‘Temperature at 7 a. m. . +. 20 Highest yesterday 4 4 Lowest last night ... - 2% Precipitation to 7 a. m.

PUTS ADVERTISING DRIVE ON WITH BANQUET History of Refining Lubricating | and Fuel Products of Pe- troleum Illustrated The Vacuum Oil company brought its big advertising drive to Bismarck. Monday evening, with a dinner to dealers and garage men of this city, Mandan and some of the surrounding towns, at the Grand Pacific. About 55 guests were participants. C. 8. Roberts, the local represent- ative of the company, was'in charge. H.-H. Moore and Norman Ness, of Fargo, gave talks illustrated by slides, Mr. .Ness, formerly of this city, pre- senting the historical side of the de- velopment of fuel, illuminating and lubricating oils, while Mr. Moore told of the scope of the Mobiloil advertis- ing campaign. The illustrated talks began with a Picture of the first vacuum still, of 40 barrels moar constructed and put into use in 1866. Hiram B. Everest distilled the first oils with this and used the resultant product <s a har- ness grease. Gasoline was thrown aside at that time as a useless by- product. Pennsylvania had to pass a law forbidding the pollution of streams by tossing the stuff into them. With the use of oil as a lubricant, it was introduced on ships. These were operated at that time by en- gines, but owing to the stops neces- sary every time lubricating was re- quired, the ships also went under full sail. With the new oil it was not necessary to stop the machinery, and in time the oil drove the sails’ from steamships. Everest now found his business so expanded that he had to have greater facilities for producing his oil, and he entered into combination with the Standard Oil of New Jersey,a relation- ship that continued until the Stand- ard was disjointed during the Roose- velt administration. In 1877, the Everest vacuum oil was used on a horseless carriage in- vented by George B. Selden. Its use did away with difficulties encountered in using other oil fuel in the contriv- ance and the history of successful automobiling should be dated from this event said Mr. Ness. The oil was next applied to cotton mill spindles and now lubricates 65 ber cent of these in the nation; also 95 per cent of electrical transformers; 60 to 75 per cent of turbines; and holds 80 per cent of the high seas use. The business developed a big staff of experts and Mr. Ness explained how variations are produced in the oil to meet the different uses and un- der different conditions. Pictures of the Rochester, Olean, and Bayonne refineries were shown. Mr. Moore explained to the dealers how the company would boost their business by its gigantic advertising campaign. By slides he showed cov- ers and circulation figures of the various publications to be used, to which will be added local advertising by newspapers having 9,000,000 circu- lation, so that 22,832,000 families are expected to be reached. The company also will furnish circular letters, pos- tal cards and service station equip- ment as part of the publicity drive.

Now, I want you to tell me all about it.” any forced action or touch of arti- ficiality will be far more easily de- tected when the appeal to the audi- ence is made through the eye and the ear both. The actor will also have to know how to blend his voice, be- cause, due to the sensitive sound-re- cording apparatus, a loud voice will have a blasting quality. Jean Hersholt gives a memorable character portrayal as the old He- brew father in “The Younger Gen- eration,” which was adapted for the screen from the stage play, “It Is to Laugh,” by Fannie Hurst. Lina Bas- quette, one of the screen's youngest and most promising emotional actress, compels strong sympathy and admi- ration as Birdie, the daughter; while Ricardo Cortez is admirably cast as {the egotistical and ambitious son. A wonderful story, a wonderful cast; a wonderful dialogue and sound syn- chronization—all in all a wonderful picture that is well worth your seeing and hearing. PALACE THEATRE, MANDAN “State Street Sadie” look-and-lis- ten hit comes to Palace theatre, Mandan, tomorrow for two nights. A stirring commentary on the well- known saying that crooks can’t win, is presented in Warner Bros.’ melo- drama, “State Street Sadie.” The trio well remembered from their former crook success, “The Girl from Chicago,” Nagel, Loy and Rus- sell, are again featuzed as principals, Georgie Stone and Pat Hartigan ad- ding their brass-knuckle personalities to the cast. Along with this Vitaphone feature with talking-music and sound effects will be screened a vaudeville act, “Spitalny’s Band,” which has the Hotel Pennsylvania famous Jazz or- chestra, besides The Penn Trio, Paul Sisters, and the Eight, Chester Hale Girls. A technicolor picture “Tom- Dick-Harry,” will complete this fine program. ELTINGE. THEATRE The rough and tumble stoker of “The Docks of New York” is now known as “The Wolf of Wall Street,” Polished stock manipulator of the New York Stock Exchange—maker and breaker of the market! George Bancroft is the Wall Street financier in his latest production which is featured at the Eltinge again today and Wednesday. Bancroft has one of the best_ roles of his entire career in this new pic- ture. He, by natural force and dy- namic power, gives his latest char- acterization a treatment that holds one in complete suspense through- these sales could be materially in- creased.” Commenting on the grain pur- chases, Nelson said that 2,436,437 bushels of wheat were purchased of which 1,477,416 or 60.7 per cent were purchased from old-line grain com- panies. Of the total wheat purchases, 54 per cent came from within the state and 46 from outside the state. Storage Helps Reduce Loss Renewing the attack on the wheat- buying policy of the mill manage- ment, which has been a_ subject of contention since 1926, Nelson avers that 1928 was “an unusually good year for high protein wheat and any amount of good wheat could have been purchased in North Dakota if the wheat buyer had made a real ef- fort to secure such wheat within the state. This condition may not pre- sent itself again for several years as high protein wheat of good milling quality is getting more scarce every year in North Dakota, but this year the purchasing of outside wheat in such amounts as has been done is in- defensible.” Storage and inspection fees re- ceived from the milling department, together with the fact that the mill, by offering a market for wheat, draws business to the elevator, have aided in reducing the elevator losses, Nelson said. He states that “if the elevator did not have the benefit of the mill business and the added business which the mill draws on account of offering a market for the wheat, the deficit of the elevator department would be several hundred per cent more than this report shows,” ry si | AT THE MOVIES + | ° | CAPITOL THEATRE | Talking pictures have an enthusias- | tic booster in the person of Jean Hersholt, who plays the leading role | in “The Younger Generation,”» the Columbia sound and dialogue pro- duction coming to the Capitol theatre today, Tuesday, Wednesday and | Thursday. He believes they are more effective than the silent film because of the appeal to both the car and the eye. Jean Hersholt is a product of the Danish stage, with years of exper- ence in Norway, Sweden and Den- mark. He therefore had wonderful dramatic training before coming to the screen. Mr. Hersholt believes that sin- cerity is one of the most important qualities on the screen, and that even greater sincerity will be required of actors in talking productions, since | OUT OUR WAY YOU LADIES WANT Tt’ GO - PICKIN’ FLOWERS, EMH?

He asks to take her home. Not wi to seem ungrateful, she invites him to din- ner. Their evening is spoiled when PAMELA JUDSON, daughter of Mildred’s employer, phones her to return to duty. Stephen escorts Pamela her to the hotel where recognizes who had sold her a car. him as the salesman She snubs Mildred and tries to lure Stephen away from her by pre- tending she wants to buy another car. Then Pamela meets HUCK CONNOR, who becomes infatu- ated with her, and she amuses herself by playing with both men. When Stephen favors Mildred the manager asks her to be careful or Pamela will have her discharged. But this may not be so easy as her brother, HAROLD, is in love with Mildred. He isa weakling and Mildred permits him to call on her to keep him from Huck’s gambling crowd. However, he suspects that she cares more for Stephen than for him and refuses Mildred.. * * * to stay one evening when Stephen comes to sec NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XIII Mrs. Lawrence was not surprised to Mildred had told her he was coming. But she was puzzled over their manner, the uneasy way in which Stephen stood before Mildred see Stephen. and the latter’s attitude. “Why, good evening, Mr. Armitage,” she said cordially, advancing to shake hands with him.

Mrs. Lawrence went to search for them and Stephen followed, wondering who was in the living room. He saw no one but Mildred. Mrs. Lawrence looked around in astonishment. “Did Mr. Judson go?” ta asked blankly. She looked defiantly at Stephen. “Let us play something your mother knows,” he suggested politely. “I don’t believe you know any old- fashioned games,” Mildred challenged with a meaning that was not’lost on “Well, there’s postoffice,” Stephen laughed. “I know how to play that.

And during the next few weeks as the days grew warm with the early spring that comes like a false jade to lure New Yorkers into premature storing of winter wraps, Mildred found herself making excuses to her mother for Stephen. They had seen very little of him at Mildred’s home. She saw him often in the hotel, however, but she knew that he was there to see Pamela.

The pain quickly becomes éxcruciatingly severe. The, abdomen is usually distended with gas, and the muscles over the in- testines tensed. The patient usually raises the right knee in order to ease the pressure over the area of the ap- pendix. ‘At first there is a chill, fol- lowed by a rapid rise in temperature, the tongue is always coated, and the breath offensive. Nausea is often present, and even a small amount of water may be vomited. Any kind of solid food will start stabbing pains by stimulating the intestinal move- ments. ‘These symptoms are present in a true inflammation of the appendix, but it is quite common to make a quick diagnosis of appendicitis when- ever any severe abdominal pain is present, especially if on the right side. Any distention of the intestines with gases and inflammation may simulate appendicitis, and gall stones and kid- ney stone colic are frequently mis- taken for this condition. The public has been frightened in- to believing that an immediate oper- ation is necessary for appendicitis, and tales are often told about how a delay will result in a burst appendix. The papers, however, do not usually carry much publicity about the pa- tients who do not get well after operation for appendicitis, but it is nevertheless true that many patients die after these operations, especially if the pus sac has broken before the operation. Many of these cases would have been saved if no operation at all had been performed. The surgeon who has most success in operating for appendicitis is one who carefully selects his patients and operates when only inflammation ex- ists, or before the appendix is rup- tured. I have seen hundreds of cases of appendicitis completely cured with- out operation, and here is the method which was used. The first thing to do is to stop all food immediately—even the drinking of water if the attack is so violent as to produce nausea. Water should be taken if the nausea is not enough to produce vomiting. During acute at- tacks enemas should be taken about every two hours. Use only a quart of water with no medicinal preparation in it. Enemas should be taken while lying on the back or in the knee-chest Position. You do not need to be afraid of taking too many of these enemas, as there is absolutely no dan- ger if taken properly. You have Probably heard some physicians ad- vise against enemas. This is their mistake, and you should not be in- fluenced by it. Physicians who expect to operate also put ice packs on the abdomen, which has a tendency to refrigerate the pus sac if any exists.

K. writes: “Please tell me what causes stricture of the esophagus and also what causes stric- ture of the intestines and rectum.” Answer: Stricttre of the esophagus is usually caused by a nervous dis- order or perhaps by tumors or toxic irritation. Only an examination could determine the exact cause. Stricture of the intestines is usually caused by adhesions, ulcers or kinks. Salisbury Steak performed “The Causes of Ap- Question: Mrs. A. L. B. writes: “I notice that a number of your menus call for salisbury steak. Just what is the common name for this and how is it prepared?” Any butcher should be able to prepare salisbury steak for you. Select a good piece of round steak. Have removed all of the fat and gristle and grind the red, lean part. This appears somewhat simi- nd beh raise at steak, but is more jatable more easily digested and has an entirely different flavor. There is usually about a quarter of @ pound of waste to each half pound of lean meat so that it is advisable to purchase % of a pound of meat for each person to be served. To cook the meat it should be pressed into a flat ungreased pan similar to a cake tin, to a depth of about one inch and placed in a hot oven, after which the fire should be turned down and the meat cooked for about five minutes longer. Answer: Sulphur Dioxide Gas Question: A. B.
