oh “NORTHWEST GRAIN GROWERS FAVORITE SHIPPING PLAN IS UP Conference of Commercial and Engineering Leaders May Hasten Completion STATUS OF ROUTE A TOPIC | Governors, Senators and For- mer Congressmen Among Speakers of Two Days Another step forward in the trans- | portation project which the midwest and northwest looks on as one of the essential elements in the solution «* the farm problem will be taken} next Thursday and Friday at Du- luth, when the Great Lakes Harbors association of the United States and Canada meets. The convention is expected to in- clude quite a boom for the comple- tion of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway to the occan, by which it would be made possible for ocean-go- ing steamships to make the western ports of the lakes, as Duluth and Superior, and load grain cargoes to be taken direct to Europe without rehandling. The waterway project, it has been calculated, would reduce freight charges on wheat so shipped, 10! cents below the present transporta- tion costs per bushel on grain sent abroad. Grain growers see in that @ reflection back into their pockets of the charges thus saved. North Dakota Interested North Dakota is vitally interested; in all that pertains to improvement in lakes transportation, as a result of the partially completed Lakes- St. Lawrence waterway.

For nearly two years she had the role of a producer, arranging and staging with her own company a weekly program of plays over station WEAF, New York. During that period she broadcast 14 of Shakespeare's Plays, Ibsen’s “Hedda Gabler,” and other famous productions by classical and modern dramatists. She also took part herself, having played by radio such roles as Lady Macbeth and Portia. The long con- tinuance of the radio play presenta- tions indicated the warm reception which they received. In “The Hole in the Wall” ad Emmet has the part of Mrs. Carstairs, @ wealthy widow who loses her jqvels through the trickery of a ganz of supercrooks who prey upon the rich |by fake spiritualism methods.

Molly young reporter, and making an ex- traordinary success of her brief car- eer. Jack works in an architect’s of- fice, and has not yet set the world afire. Molly goes out to shop for dinner, and discovers that she is being fol- lowed by a short, dark, dirty-looking man. She is thoroughly frightened, but rather than seem hysterical and ask for help, she continues on her way—and the short, dark man keeps his beady eyes upon her.

Slim Boynton had warned her agninat the Chica; inmen, But Slim was a dreadful alarmist. Besides, she hadn’t hurt Mandinello.

She reached the lowest step of the broad flight that led to the apart- | h ment. And now she saw the man’s face quite distinctly. His eyes were wide and hunted—the eyes of a mad mae.
