PROMPT HANDLING OF GRAIN CARS IS > ASSURED SHIPPERS Curtis Mosher, Chairman of Re- gional Board, Arranges All- Round Cooperation HEAVY MOVEMENT IS SEEN! | Conditions Existing at Ports! and Terminals Such as to Tax Facilities Three local terminal committces will cooperate with the railroads and the general committee of the North- . west Shippers Advisory board to pre- | vent traffic jams during the 1929 grain shipping season. according to | - information received by the state | railroad board from Curtis L. Mosher, | general chairman of the board. | The local terminal committees at | Grand Forks, Duluth and Minneapolis will be responsible for the prompt handling of loaded grain cars received at their respective points. They also will be responsible for the active co- operation of the clevator interests and ,for the prompt unloading and return of cars to shipping territory. Chairman of the three local com- mittees will serve as members of the joint grain transportation committee, | Which will supervise grain shipments in the Northwest, including the car | ». Supply to country clevators and the ao of loaded and empty grain cars. The local committees will be ex- pected to supply the general commit- tee with “complete and continuous in- | formation,” regarding the condition | , in their territories. | Members of the railroad and ware- house commissions of Minnesota and the Dakotas have been named mem- bers of the joint commitice, since the law gives these boards jurisdiction over country elevators. The important interior milling interests and the six ‘ailroads serving the Northwest also are represented by officials responsi- ble for car movement and car supply | on the different lines. Commenting on the situation which will conffont these committees, Mosher said: “In anticipation of greater difficul- ties than have been encountered for several years in maintaining car sup- Ply at country elevators and in pro- viding for the prompt handling and “unloading of grain at terminals, a roeder and more comprehensive or- ~ Banization has been created than ex- isted in previous years. It gives con- sideration to the conflicting interests of the different grain markets:and af- fords appropriate authority to cach within its own terminal area, and ap- propriate representation of each upon the gtneral committee upon which the responsibility for the situation over the entire Northwest will rest. “Although the aggregate volume of the crop appears now to be somewhat ~less than was anticipated a month ago, the movement will be heavy when -threshing begins and in view of the existing port and terminal situation in the United States, it is likely to tax the resources of the railroads and country elevators to an unusual de- gree. If the terminal congestion and blockaded country elevators, which have already characterized the carly wheat movement in the southwest United States, are to be avoided when the crop in the Northwest begins to Move, it will require the highest type of cooperation between shippers and railroads, and the prompt and effec tive handling of all problems affect- ing car supply and car movement that will arise during the crop moving Period.” Members of the local terminal com- Weather Report Temperature at 7 Highest yesterday Lowest last night .

Photographs were made of @e in- terior of the famous court, and studio carpenters and artisans reproduced the courtroom in its entirety. Jack Francis, old-time New York reporter, who reported many famous trials in general sessions, was technical super- visor and checked every detail to see that no errors were made. 2 Among famaus trials held in gen- eral sessions was that of Roland Moli- neaux, in which he was charged with Poisoning a Mrs. Rogers. Twice he was convicted and sentenced to death in the electric chair, but both time: the verdicts were set aside, and fi- nally, on his third trial, he was ac- quitted.

The Dean was a little bit old-fashioned. Five minutes . There was a newspaper on the table, and Molly reached for it restlessly. It was open at the woman and she noted idly that Dr. W. something to say about the care of held, in her column, that a man could not respect a girl who indulged in promiscuous ki: She read from “Mother of Eight,” and another from “Bashful Sixteen,” and wondered if women really wrote such things. Or if the editor made them up. But she thought of a girl she knew, named Emmaline Luce, who had a baby nearly every year and raised them on “Dr. West's Words to Moth- ers. And she thought of Jack Wells, and how much she loved him. And won- dered if she, too, might marry and settle down like Emmaline and grow mediocre and dull she wouldn’t. She and Jack would be different. Different from all those commonplace couples who played bridge and listened to the radio and iped about the neighbors. Dif- ferent from all other lovers every- where... Suddenly Molly’s eyes fell on a little verse: A girl, she had her hope and chance— But Fate was thwarted by a glance, A look that set her heart afire, So genius died, for warm desire, Yet, still the phantom visions glow, Although a world will never know The Shining Talent that was dead So soon as that bright soul was wed. the flame that used to be; But always come to torture her The dreams of things that never were. So this is the song of the wife— Ah, what have I done with my life? . _ Molly read it through twice. girl, she had her hope and chance. ... A dull and stodgy wife is she...” Well, if it wasn’t for all the world like Em- maline Luce! ‘So genius died for warm desire...” Poor old Emmaline! “Yet still the phantom visions glow, Although a world will never know The Shining Talent that was dead So soon as that bright soul was wed.” 'I wonder,” mused Molly, “if there come to torture her “the dreams of things that never were.” It sounded to her as if a woman had written that verse—a woman who. | wondered what she’d done with her life. It was a disturbing little poem. “The Dean will see you now, Miss Burnham.” Molly jumped guiltily to her feet. She had torn the verse from the paper and tucked it in the powder compact of her vanity. She felt at once up- lifted and depressed. The Dean, a busy woman, wasted no time on preambles. “Ah, Miss Burnham. Sorry to have kept you waiting. Sit down, won't you?
