Potato planting is getting under way in the Red River valley and the planting of a greatly increased sugar 5 beet acreage is well along. Rye stands i are looking fine in the eastern sec- i tions, but somewhat thin in parts of the important rye districts, due to un- favorable fall seeding conditions. Pas- tures are quite backward, but are furnishing some feed. Condition of livestock is fairly food, though cattle are showing the effects of a long period of feeding. Although the number of sows far- rowing this spring is reported some- what larger than last spring, indica- tions point to a possible smaller pig crop, due to unfavorable weather conditions during the farrowing pe- i riod. The June 1 pig survey will Li furnish the basis for a definite esti- mate of the size of this spring's pig | : crop. AT THE MOVIES | < ° CAPITOL THEATRE Occasionally there comes to the rereen an unheralded picture that Proves to be a knockout. Such a pic- ture is “The Shakedown,” showing at the Capitol Theatre today, Wednes- day and Thursday. The leading roles in the production are entrusted to two of the screen's ‘most promising youngsters, James Murray and Barbara Kent. The act- ing of these two is, at times, inspir- ing. Telling a stirring story of the oil fields and prize ring, “The Shake- down” has for its theme the age- old ruse of unscrupulous promoters | of faked fights staged for the ex- Press intention of collecting bets. eee | Weather Report | o—. ‘Temperature at 7 a. m.

Sent into an oil town with instruc- tions to get a job, make friends and pave the way for his next faked fight with Battling Roff, a professional light heavyweight, Murray meets the girl, played by Miss Kent, and a nine- year-old street waif, played by Jack Hanlon, and, because of their love for him, decides to forsake his old racket for a life more honorable. The remainder of the cast includes George Kotsonaros, Wheeler Oakman, Jack Hanlon and Harry Gribbon. William Wyler directed it. ELTINGE THEATRE The peculiar advantages of the moving picture over the stage are brought out strikingly in “The Letter,” in which the famous stage ard screen star, Jeanne Eagels, has the leading mole, at the Eltinge today and Thurs- jay. The stage with its limitations of scene can usually do no more than Suggest the surrounding atmosphere. Motion pictures actually show it. ‘There are many colorful sets in “The Letter.” all of them presenting the usual life of Singapore and the! Orient, which will be actually seen in the film version of this W. Somerset Maugham success. These sets include a full-sized bungalow located in the heart of a rubber plantation, a court. room holding 200 persons, a Chinese gambling house, the homes and offices of various colonial settlers, and scenes of brooding jungle and bustling street which the stage could not attempt to show. Throughout the picture the jungle setting is emphasized. Miss Eagels has O. P. Heggie, Her- bert Marshall and Reginald Owen as featured members of her supporting cast, all of whom were recruited from the stage. Because of this, the all- talking version, as it will be presented at the Eltinge theatre, is certain to be received by local filmgocrs with en- thusiasm. FLYING BROADCAST PLANNED AT FARGO Seventh Anniversary of WDAY to Stage Description of City From Plane in Air Fargo, N. D., May 22.—()—Resi- dents of Fargo will have an opportu- nity to hear at first hand the impres- sions of an aerial observer flying over the city, if nothing goes wrong with plans for observance of the seventh anniversary of WDAY, local radio station tomorrow. The hope of station operators is to send an observer on a flight over the city in an airplane equipped with a portable short-wave transmitter. His description will be picked up on the ground with a shortwave receiver, run through an amplifier and over telephone lines to the commercial broadcasting plant at West Fargo, where it will be put on the air. Dal- ton LeMasurier has been nominated to provide the description and Art Brunevik will pilot the plane. . LeMasurier will take with him a Portable radio receiver with which he will be able to hear himself talk and to hear anyone else who talks over ithe station during the anniversary Program. If the air is clear and he can see far enough he will attempt to give his listeners a long-distance descrip- tion of Valley City, west of Fargo, and of Detroit Lakes, Minn., on the east. Preliminary tests of the apparatus to be shown that it can be expected to work, according to members of the station technical staff. | Daily Cross-word Puzzle ACROSS 1.

CHAPTER 2 DEATH OVER THE WIRE I had several things to do in town so.instead of going straight home I dined at Galli's with my old friend Captain Deacon, our chief of police. Deacon had done more than his share towards making the department as efficient as any in the state and I respect his keen driving brain. ‘The meal over and my business at- tended to, I drove slowly home. It ‘was ‘just ten minutes past nine when I arrived there. I was to remem- ber the time. Polyandria reclined on the hearth. She got lazily up, stretched herself fore and aft and came purring to- wards me. I picked her up and she By CHARLES G. BOOTH den phoned a while back. He said I was to ask you to call him up as Soon as you came in. He seemed ter- rible upset about something. I didn’t know you were home until Miss Lucy told me just now.” I crossed to the telephone wonder- ing what was the matter with An- drew. Instead of taking the instru- ment up at once I unwrapped the Peterson revolver and ran my fingers caressingly over the barrel and gold- mounted butt. I was on the point of breaking the weapon when the tele- Phone whirred sharply. As I picked up the instrument my eye fell on the clock on the miantel. It was exactly nine-thirty. “Hello,” I called. “Is that you, John? This is An- drew.” The voice might have been anyone's but his, so strained and un- natural did it sound. “What is it, Andre’ “I want to see you. . ... .» right away. Right—” The voice had stopped.

I threw off the shackles that bound me, flung myself through the French window near my desk, and plunged into the maze of shrubbery nvt<de. The moon had ng yet risen, but my feet quickly found the familiar winding path and I raced through the scented gloom toward the Ogden | house. Suddenly, I heard the pound of feet on ti.c cinder walk ahead and as I neared the walk Jerry Ogden's white flannels flashed past into the drive. “Jerry!” I called. “Jerry! Jerry!” Instead of replying, he went on like the wing and I stopped, dumb- founded. He had seemed to drop something as he passed, but the gloom was too deep for me to be sure of this. ‘The shadows of the place swallowed , him before I could tell whether he had gone on to the garage, which lies on the other side of the house, or down to the avenue, and I stood with, a queer coldness tightening about my heart... . . Off again at top speed, I did not stop until I had climbed over the iron grille which embraces a tiny balcony just big enough to stand on outside the library window. The doors of the window were ajar, but drawn draperies concealed the room. I was sweating with dread. For the mos ment I couldn't have parted the cur- tains to see what Andrew's boy had fled from to save my soul. Desperately beating my weakness, back, I compelled myself to open the window, to part the curtains, to look: in. Andrew Ogden sat at his desk, his head down upon it. The light of a reading lamp fell upon his heck where a cross of metal burned dully, «Copyright, 1929, William Morrow Co.). Jerry flees from his home just after his father has been mur- dered.

May 22.—(?)—Two noted Norwegians will appear here late in June in connection with the meeting of various “Lags” which will bring thousands of visitors to Minot, They are Bjorn Bjornson, son of Bjornstjerne Bjornson, famous Nor- wegian poet and writer, and Rasmus Breistein, for many years an actor with “Det Norske Teater” at Oslo and later a motion picture director. Bjornson will appear June 27 and will give readings from his father’s poems and short stories. Breistein is on the program for the Gudbrands- dalslaget, which meet from June 28 to 30.

Polyandria is a gold-brown Angora, a magnificent animal, and I suppose I am absurdly fond of her. “No more complaints, Polyandria?” I inquired. Luther MacNair, a retired private detective of considerable reputation, had recently come to Magnolia ave- une. It turned out that he has a passion for growing tomatoes. Poly- andria got among the vines—so he said—and some little damage was done. I insisted on paying MacNair’s estimate of the damage, but he was quite nasty about it. Lucy danced in just then. She is Uncle John. Am I all right?” I frowned. “How should I know whether you are all right? Ask Jerry. “He's. busy with his father. That horrid old mine again. He telephoned me during dinner.
