HUBBEL MADE HEAD About 300 Members Enlisted in Formation of Cooperat- ing Purchasers With development of North Da-} kota’s cream industry as the purpose, a score of cream and produce buyers formally launched the state branch of the Natio: Cream and Produce | Buyers association in a meeting at the court house, Tuesday afternoon. | The national association was rep- resented by C. M. Emerson, tary, from Chicago. He has been in ~the state several weeks, visiting the buyers and enrolling them for mem- bership. With a tentative member- ship of about 300 buyers, the meet- ing here was called for organization. Due to the rain, not more than a score of the buyers attended. Word came from Glen Ullin that water was running over the bridge there and a party of the buyers from the western end failed to leave there during the day in fear of bad roads. There was some hesitancy at or- ganizing while other participants in the preliminary work of enlisting the buyers were absent, but when the matter was left to the meeting it was decided best to go ahead on accoust of the distances and diffi- culty in getting away from their business. The organization “fected by adopting a state constitution follow- ing the lines of the national consti- tution. G. A. Hubbel, of Wi zone governor and until further organization can be effected. There are to be four of these governors, two in the eastern end of the state, one at Minot and the other in this district, who is Mr. Hubbel. Spent $1,204 on Organizing Secretary Emerson submitted a financial statement and asked for an audit, but the association decided that, as he was operating as the rep- resentative of the national organiza- tion, he should submit the report to that body, whose action on it would satisfy the state association. The figures showed that the national) body has spent $1,204.98 so far in the organizing of the state branch. This branch is expected to become} the biggest in the national body, as North Dakota cream and produce kusiness is growing more rapidly than the same lines in any other state. The matter of electing a secretary was brought up and continued. Gov. ernor Hubbel said he would ask Mr.| Kokkler, of Glen Ullin, to serve inj that capacity till further organiza- tion could be effected. The direc- tors are to be six, the four regional governors and the president and secretary making up the board. | Secretary Emerson itted 14 resolutions for the association to consider, but these were put over for| i later attention.

Anderson, of Lisbon, id the cream buying business was becoming the leading industry of the state and was on the way to greater expansion. Tells of Pioncering Days F. A. Little, of Fayette, spoke of the old days of cream buying. He bought out far out in the country and had to deliver at Dickinson, his nearest rail point. From reminise- ences of his business he lapsed some on social affairs in the Bis- marck of the early '80s. One story was-his recollection of a ing i a saloon, one of affairs. In this instance, however, there was a bishop visiting a Jim Marshall here, so it was decided to ask him to start the funeral with some religious trimmings. An emis- ry was sent to the Marshall home and the hop was routed out of bed and asked to officiate at the obsequics in the saloon. He said he would come. “But,” he added, “in this case I will pray rather for the living than for the dead.” “I don’t care a damn,” said the ‘just so you come down “boots on” r. Little drove a bull team from Bismarck to the Black Hills, but since bull teams went out of style, of late years, he has been in the cream business. BRAIN RULES LIFE'S LENGTH, SAYS MADAM (By NEA Service) Akron, Ohio.—An active brain makes for a happy old age, believes Madame Charlotte de Collere Daven- port, recently turned 104. “You must keep your brain active,” she says. “When the brain becomes fagged and useless we soon die.” The old lady appears middle aged despite her 104 years, and in her mind she has vividly pictured historical events of the past 70 or 80 years.

AT THE MOVIES | CAPITOL THEATRE | ‘Those enviable qualities which made Nancy Carroll a favorite on the stage inspired Charles Klein, Fox di- rector, to cast her in the chief role of “The Sin Sister.” The character is that of Pearl, a vaudevillian. Pearl is one of those girls with well-balanced senses of comedy and drama, and, above all, she is a de- lightful dancer. When she dances a gang of miners and sourdoughs throw away their hats and spend their last cent wine-bibbing in her honor. Nancy Carroll fits the part exactly. It was in musical comedy that she won her greatest renown; in such i plays as “Chicago” she demonstrated her right to be called an actress. Appearing opposite Miss Carroll is j that popular leading man, Lawrence Gray. Others in the cast include Josephine Dunn, Anders Randolf, j Myrtle Stedman, Richard Alexander, | Frederick H. Graham, George Davis | and David Callis. The story was written by Frederick Hazlitt Brennan and Becky Gardiner. It was adapted by Harry Behn. “The Sin Sister” has been an- nounced for showing at the Capitol Theatre tonight. SHE SHOULD BE “Whatever happened to that girl you didn't marry?” Answers.

And had Dillon, after “planting” the flan- wonder about the Two Brothers mine. MacNair had connected Furie and the quartz specimens with it and I had concluded Lucy had found Jerry there. After swallowing a sandwich I set off up the street towards the flank of mountain behind the town. On the outskirts my feet found an in- distinct trail of sorts and I let them carry me along it. The sun was declining towards the Skeletons, but the wind blew hot as a dragon's breath and in its teeth whistled that sound I had heard as I drove towards Torridity. I thought it hissed at me, “Go back, you fool!” A thin sand haze hung in the air. A ‘windstorm impended, I felt sure, and common sense urged me to go back; but just then I saw the buildings of an abandoned mining property. Heading into the bite of the wind, I quickly identified the property as the Two Brothers by the huge mass lor splintered rock in front of the eu- trance to the main bore. It took me half an hour to explore the property. In ruin and a-creak in the burning wind, the buildings were @ sorry mess, but the machinery was in fair condition. From the “tailings” dump I followed the orecart rails up to the great pile of debris which blocked the entrance. To remove it would be a sizable job. In a barn-like structure was the po- lice car Lucy had commandeered. It cheered me mightily. I started back along the flank of the mountain. The sun was lower. The wind had quickened; its cerie note shrilled a little. After I had gone 100 yards be- yond the limits of the Two Brothers property I came upon a narrow gash slashed deep into the flinty moun- came up. A vague trail led into the gash and the imprint of shoes showed in a sprinkling of sand at my feet. Striking into the gash, I found my- self between towering walls of reddish {rock which gradually widened into a sizable canyon that cut into the ‘heart of the Skeletons. I had gone some 200 yards when I noticed a “V”- shaped joint in the south slope of the canyon. saw it was really a cavern-like slash in the rock wall. slash when a rifle cracked and a bul- inches above my head! to be dropped dead as I stood. hurled myself towards it.

Losing Lt aig I reeled back against the cliff. It seemed likely that a third shot would put an end to the foremost col- lector of pistols in San Felipe county and I stayed where I was. The sun was beginning to set beyond the crest of the Skeletons. It grew perceptibly darker. What were the mans in- tentions? Perhaps he merely intended to keep me out of the slash. Holding my breath, I edged away from the slash. Nothing happened. Appar- ently I might take myself off, but I mustn't go into the slash. Why? It didn’t take me long to If the slash was undoubtedly. Knowing that Jerry was in Torridity, he had come to plant the flannels. The children, I decided, didn’t know he was here and he may not have seen them. He certainly knew I was here. Why in the name of common I don'’t’know what made me thihk of Furle just then. MacNair had as- not a new opening into the compli- cated workings of the Two Brothers mine, what was it? The marksman on the hillside was guarding a recently exposed ledge of gold-bearing ore. “Who is it?” I muttered. “Furie— Dillon?” If MacNair was right in his as- sumption that Furie knew something about the specimen we had found in Ogden’s desk it might be Furie. My immediate concern was to get sumed that Furie knew something about the Two Brothers mine; per- haps, indeed, had brought Ogden the Moreover, Hubbard’s Was it Purie’s nels, taken himself off?

With my cyes upon the slope opposite I made my way along the trail, half expecting the smack of a bullet. But it didn’t come and pres- ently I was out in the desert again. ‘The sun had gone. Into the shrill cry of the wind had come a human note as awesome as a voice from a tomb. Little wheels and whirls of sand sprang up, danced, died. The sand haze nipped my throat, stung my nostrils, watered my eyes. A cur- ious sense of the desert holding itself in leash, of malign forces gathering beneath this outward tranquility, af- fected me and I began to run. ‘When I had come within 100 yards of the nearest building the wind screamed like a herd of terrified horses. The ferocity of the wind was beyond conception. It took me into its arms and, spinning me like a top, ran with me screaming down the street. Abruptly it let me go and for @ moment I hung in a little pocket in the wind. Geysers of sand sprang up from the carth, ropes of sand fell from the sky, and I saw them driven by the bellows of heaven into the revels of a pit full of fiends let loose. And then, suddenly, a blast of sand Poured into my face, blinding me; the wind picked me up again, spun me, and hurled me against the side of @ building. Pinning me, it smote me blow upon blow until I thought my senses would leave me. My body felt beaten to a pulp, and my face was stinging and bleeding from tiny ae by the gravel -toothed wind.

R. Ridg- way, president of Investors Syndicate of Minneapolis, said on his return from a visit to western offices of the company extending to the Pacific coast. “A general feeling exists that business is on a sound basis,” Mr. Ridgway said, “and although the drastic decline in grain prices has caused uneasiness in some sections sentiment has responded quickly to the subsequent market recovery. It is felt that good crops at fair prices are better than spotted crops at higher Barring the uncertain grain situation ‘and doubt over money rates, the conditions surrounding business are good.” Preliminary figures on May sales of investment certificates Inves- tors Syndicate show that . it certificates are bought to establish a fund for the education of children, for a reserve for bus purposes or for a retirement fund.

Newman, agri- cultural statistician. The condition of rye, though much better than one year ago, is five points below the ten- year average and five points below the May 1 condition. Favorable soil moisture conditions prevailed on June 1 in most sections of the state, follow- ios the general rains the last week of Y. All grains are backward, due to cool May temperatures, and weeds have gained considerable headway, but crop conditions in general are very little below average. The condition of all spring wheat on June 1 was 8, which compares v.ith 80 last year and a 10- year average of £..5. ition of oats and barley 85 only two points below the 10-year average. Now that the crop has had time to develop, the condition of rye is not rated as high as on May 1. Stands are rather thin and the crop is heading short in many districts. The June 1 condition indicates a yield of 10.9 bushels per acre and a production of 10,357,000 by reporters, aside from weather, are cutworm damage which is unusually severe in the southwest; heavy growth of weeds; killing frosts late in the month and soil blowing.
