North Dakota: Mostly fair GOVERNOR SHAFER * PUTS JOLLITY INTO - DINNER OF DEALERS Executive Serves as Toast- master and Gives Everybody His Share of Jests WATCH GIVEN PRESIDENT Former Governor Devine Drops Into Farm Talk and Would Forget Debentures ‘Three carefree hours were allowed | themselves by the North Dakota Re- tail Merchants, Wednesday evening, in the association banquet marking the peak of the present annual meet- ing here, held at the Grand Pacific dining room. i Governor George Shafer presided as toastmaster of the evening and got @ lot of fun out of the role, as well as distributing a lot at the expense of the luckless wights whom he in- troduced. That was the way the evening was intended to work out. North Dakota's big butter and egg men wanted a frolic and the gov- ernor saw that they got something of that kind. ; There were just two serious mo- ments in the proceedings. One was when O. J. Sorlie, of Buxton, called on to make a talk, worked around to} the point of lauding T. P. Garnaas, retitimg president, who has given the association his free services for a year, and wound up by presenting him ‘with a small leather case, which on being opened was found to contain a fine gold watch. Devine Impatient With Debenture ‘The other was when former Gov- ernor Joseph M. Devine, speaking on the natural resource wealth of the state, adverted to the farm relief bill in congress and suggested that the debenture feature should be taken out of it. Farm relief for this state, he Suggested, lay in a tariff of 63 cents @ bushel on flax, which would cut out Argentina and Russia; and in a S6-cent duty on a gallon of cream, which would eliminate the competi- tion of Holland and Denmark, and so on. He said it made him impatient to note the attitude of the lawmakers on these questions affecting agri- culture at a time when North Da- kota is on the way to so splendid a future. ‘The state, said the former governor, has few of the disadvantages that make for disappointment. Gecd's greatest gift to man was land, next ‘water, and, third, coal. North Dakota thas 45,000,000 acres of the former, a great navigable river and almost in- exhaustible deposits of fuel. These made it possible for it to approach its great destiny. He intimated a little judicious legislation might help this along, but not that of a deben- ture character. Kitchen Praises Healthiness of N. D. Joseph A. Kitchen, commissioner of agriculture and labor in the state, praised the. retailers’ association for the part it was taking toward the eradication of the barberry bush, which causes black stem rust in wheat. From that he went on to the glories of North Dakota as he learned them while a citizen in the Bad Lands country around Mgdora. He spoke of the connections of*Marquis De Mores and of Theodore Roosevelt with west- ern North Dakota and credited the Medora country with giving Roose- velt his robust health of later years —the health that enabled him to serve so strenuously as president. ‘What made this health-giving qual- ity of the state, he said, had been very poetically stated by Jimmy Foley, the North Dakota poet, and he closed his talk by reciting the lines, “The Freedom of the West.” Other talks were made by C.

After the speaking, the Minneap- olis quartet, E. U. Berdahl, J. H. De Wilde, Fred Mann and Harry Keyes, sang several humorous songs and Berdahl, Keyes and DeWilde put on a lesson in salesmanship, a short skit. Before the banquet closed, a num- ber of couples in attendance were in- troduced by the governor. These in- cluded Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Johnson, Michigan City, N.

This story of the U. S. Marines is not a flag- waving spectacle, but a human and intensely gripping drama of three “Devil Dogs” and. their ad- ventures in France, Russia and China, told in a most unusual man- ner and plentifully sprinkled with comedy. Alan Hale and Robert Armstrong are Boyd's two buddies and their rollicking experiences vest the pic- ture with much of the appeal that characterized both “The Three Musketeers” and “Beau Geste.” Fred Kohler, as the villain, Mitchell Lewis, Jules Cowles, Jimmy Aldine, Paul Weigel and Philo McCullough add to @/the unusual strength of the cast. Diane Ellis, a new screen discovery, plays opposite the star. | OUTOUR WAY EASY 10 COMPUTE HAY TONS IN STACK Professor Cap _Miller Gives | Farmers Simple Formula to Calculation How to determine the number of tons of hay in a hay rick or stack on the farm, regardless of the size or shape, is only a matter of simple fig- uring, according to Prof. Cap E.

SYNOPSIS: Unable to follow Lucy and Jerry out of the ghost town of Torridity because the tires of his auto were slashed, Peebles decides to explorc the deserted Two Brothers mine, owned by the murdered Andrew Ogden. As he starts to enter a slash in the rock at one side of the mine, a bullet strikes over his head. A second tears off his hat. He leaves, con- vinced that the unseen marksman is guarding the entrance to a new vein of gold. A furious sandstorm springs up suddenly and lashes Peebles unmercifully. He finally * stumbles into an old building. CHAPTER 21 STALKED BY A KILLER The wind yammered and snarled like a regiment of baboons. Blasts volleyed in through the open door. I had heard and read of the sand- storms of Skull Valley scouring the enamel off a car and grinding the glass of a windshield until it was opaque. The thought of Lucy and Jerry out in it gave me a bad minute or two. But I reflected that Jerry had a sound head on his shoulders, and nothing serious would be likely to happen to them. e More comfortable in mind and body, I looked about and decided I had tumbled into Lundy's Place. I got some of the sand out of my eyes and stood up. My head felt twice its nor- mal size and my legs were as weak as straws. I was feeling around for a [chair when I stopped sharply, my body turned to stone. Ever since I had come into this graveyard ‘town my senses had been abnormally acute. The impression that I was being watched was at me again, stronger than ever. I could have sworn there was some one other than my- self in the building. There came a lull in the roar of the storm, and suddenly, out of the pro- found silence, a definite indoors sound broke on my eardrums. It wasn’t the sound that brought me up rigid, heart pounding in my throat; it was the sense of danger that came with it. Some one was in the room. Why didn't he declare himself? Who was The man who had fired at me in the canyon? No, he could not have got down here before me. Dillon, then? This was more probable. Fear held me as in a vice. An un- known, unseen enemy sends the hor- rors up anti down my spine. Moreover, I had no weapon of any sort, whereas Dillon would be armed. I pondered ; Swiftly, desperately, and decided on a risky experiment. Bending double, I picked my way to the lower end of the bar, knelt behind it, and fumbled in my pocket for matches. I was de- termined to try and force my unseen enemy to show his intentions. Still crouching low, I struck a match and held it above the bar. Crack! Crack! Splinters of glass from the shattered mirror behind me showered upon my back and head. The double flash had told me that my enemy was posted near the open door. I am no more cowardly than most men, but the wind of death on my by| flesh had set my nerves a-quiver. My hand feeling about under the bar en- countered a heap of empty beer bot- tles. I stood up noiselessly, bottle in hand, and hurled it in the direction of the flash. As the bottle left my -hand I dropped behind the bar again. To my joy I heard a grunt, a scorching oath, and the crash of glass. Crack! The bar quivered as the slug plowed into it. “He'll be stalking me next,” I reflected. “If only I had a pistol!” The irony of owning several hundreds of them and being unarmed when I needed one had not escaped me. I thought of the stair in the gal- lery above. If-I could get up there I might have a better chance. Grasp- ing another beer bottle, I crept to the stair and started up it on my tocs. Halfway up, the wind dropped for a minute, and at precisely that moment I stumbled over a sprung board. The board creaked. Crack! The bottle smashed in my hand. The flash had come from the bottom of the stair. I bounded up to the top. There I listened. ‘He was coming up ata run. I fled along the gallery un- til I came nearly to the other end.

Keeping close to the wall, I moved noiselessly down the gallery, and en- tered upon the most terrific half hour of my life. The gallery ran around the four walls of the hall. Now I came to the end. Dillon was somewhere behind me. Or was he waiting near the head of the stairs for me to circle the gallery and run into his arms? I dared not go on; I was afraid to remain still. Halfway up the west side of the gal- lery I stopped once more. A beam of light shot out of the darkness in my Tear about 30 feet away. He had kept the torch back until he was sure I was | unarmed. Now he knew he had me. I drove myself on again. Just then I pitched headlong over a broken chair and slid along the floor. I squirmed into the further corner of a par- titioned alcove next to the wall. My Pursuer could not see me. My hands fell upon the back of a chair. I picked it up, whirled it around the alcove Partition and let go. The chair went home. The man cursed and the light beam swept downward; it fell through the well of the hall. A tinkle of glass as it struck the floor was faintly audible. I sensed the man’s approach. I heard his excited breathing, and I felt him, at last, standing in front of the alcove, gun leveled. The pistol cracked again. I must have been hid- den, or he would have hit me. The flash showed me exactly where he was. Tensing my body, I let myself go. I struck him like a battering ram and he staggered to the balcony rail, dropping the pistol. Before I could follow up my advantage he lifted me bodily and flung me against the wall in the alcove. My head as well as my body struck town; Alice Stenslie, McvVille, Adeline Rosendahl, Ypsilanti.
