BATTLE LOOMING AS | | PARLIAMENT OPENS! | ! Labor Government Will Leave Troublesome Question Up to Lawmakers KING FUAD TO RULE EGYPT Safety of Suez Canal Will Be Main Point of Attack by Opponents By MILTON BRONNER London, Aug. 27.—(NEA)—Thce bit- terest fight that Britain's legislators have waged in many a ycar looms with the opening of parliament soon. Over and over again the die-hard Tories and the Laborites will discuss the Labor government's attempted solution of the long-standing Egyp- tian question, and particularly the Suez canal and its safety from enemy attack. Britain has been in Egypt for more than 50 years. During the war, be- cause of the Suez canal, England sct up @ protectorate over Egypt and in- yaded Palestine. Seven years ago it announced its readiness to make of Egypt a self-governing and independ- ent country—with some reservations. The latter was rejected by the Wafd, the great nationalist party of Egypt. Now the Labor government is mak- for that ticket selling job!” “Didja ever see a shinier manicure?

Therefore, it says, it is up to the Egyptian and ‘British parliaments to accept them. ; Britain's New Plan King Fuad is to rule the country with the aid of a cabinet and parlia- ment chosen on British lines.

St. Paul, Aug. 27.—(AP)—By us-| years wheat But Britain is to station a large defense force in the vicinity of the Suez canal and maintain them there permanently. The possible safety of the canal will, therefore, be the main point of attack of the British govern- ment's opponents, as the canal is considered one of the main links in the chain of British empire and Brit- ish world commerce. It was not always thus. In 1854 Ferdinand De Lesseps, a French en- gineer, who represented France as consul at Cairo, conceived the idea of cutting & canal across the desert and, thereby, linking up the Mediterran- ean with the Red Sea. It would enable ships to avoid the long journey clear down the coast of Africa, around Cape Horn, and up the Indian ocean. He got the concession from Said Pasha, viceroy of Egypt.

Before many years, the British real- ized they had made a profound mis- take. The canal gave the short cut the early ripening of wheat, farmers can do much to reduce losses from black stem rust, according to E. C. Stakman, plant disease specialist of the division of plant pathology, Minnesota Agricultural Experiment station. Dr. Stakman, after a long study including the crops of this year, sug- gests that farmers give more atten- tion to the proper selection, prep- aration and fertilization of their wheat land, to the use of early ma- turing varieties of wheat, and to early sowing. He asserts that it has been proved that wheat which ripens fairly early is likely to escape severe damage by rust. Even a dif- ference of a few days may make, a large difference in the loss sus- tained.

WEST Washington, Aug. 27. — (#) — In choosing Arthur M. Hyde, former governor of Missouri, as secretary of agriculture. President Hoover caused much arching of political eyebrows. For he picked a man who had been definitely in the opposition camp during the soul-racking pre-conven- tion . In importance this post was rated by many second only to that of at- torney general, since farm relicf had been almost as great an issue in the campaign as prohibition. Conse- quently, it was not surprising that Mr. Hoover early set himself to the selection of this official. Rejects Old Sources How he proceeded has only now become known. In years gone by agricultural secretaries had been chosen largely from among farm paper editors and heads of agricul- tural colleges. Naturally, the new president first turned to these sources, Many names were presented, only to be rejected after careful can- asses. For a time the task mi caneaa al- most insurmountable, and there was talk that William M. Jardine would be continued as secretary. However, soon afterward, Mr. Jardine an- nounced that he had accepted an im- portant post outside of the govern- ment and would retire March 4. At this juncture James W. Good, who had conducted the campaign in the great western farming region and subsequently was made secretary of took ® hurried trip to Washing- ton to consult with “the Chief,” as Hoover was called by all of his po- Utical lieutenants. *You Need Executive’ In his vigorous, nervous fashion he the agri- culture secretary had to come from ei 1 ens earlier than spring wheat under] the farm colleges, papers or organiza- tions was a mistaken one. “What you need is a big executive,” home arguments to support his posi tion.

But, instead of being frightencd, the producer and the actors are de- lighted. It will assure continued popularity, they say, and guaran- tee the success of the play. Molly, however, is perturbed. The adjectives the censors apply to her play hurt her. She resolves to avoid the controversy and de- vote her entire attention to little Rita Newton, the adorable child of her best friend, who has died. Molly has promised to take care of Rita, and lavishes wealth and love upon the child. Bob Newton, Rita’s father, of whom Molly is not particularly fond, calls often to see his little daughter. Molly knows of certain shadowy episodes in Bob's past. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXXII “By the way,” began Bob awkward- ly, “you remember Miss Smith, Molly?” She raised her eyebrows inquir- ingly. “Of course.” “I hope you didn’t think there was anything wrong?” he hazarded. Molly preserved a frigid silence. “Did you?” he demanded. “I've no desire to talk about your “My friends!” he laughed. “You told me she was @ very good friend of yours.” “Did 1?” Bob colored uncomfort- ably. “I don’t remember.” “Well, you certainly did.

And I must say, Bob, that I think your taste Is perfectly execrable! Also, I think it’s wretchedly bad form for you to talk about the girl. I’m sure I'm not in- terested.” “I thought maybe you might be,” he drawled. “Well, I’m not!” “Different from most women, aren't you. Molly? Superior to gossip and scandal, and all that sort of thing? Wouldn't be a bit interested in getting the real low down on Elsie?” “No, I wouldn't. Do you think I'm ratas?” She rose angrily. “You'd better go home, Bob.” “Oh, all right.” He rose leisurely, and knocked the ashes out of his pipe in the pink por-| celain fireplace. “Only—well, Elsie was killed yester- .

And the strange thing about it was that Elsie danced in an Isadora Duncan ballet once. She simply idol- ized that woman. You may not believe | it—but Elsie could dance. She broke her ankle a few years ago. And that rather finished her . Molly turned on him fiercely. “You beast!” she cried. “Haven't you any heart at all?” “But you don’t understand,” he in- terrupted. “If Elsie hadn't gone to Montreal she'd never have been killed.” “What has that to do with it?” she stormed. “The poor girl's dead, isn't she? What difference does it make whether she went to Montreal or not?” * * Bob was filling his pipe pain.

D., Aug. 27.—Actual construction of the natural gas line from eastern Montana which is to supply the city of Dickinson with gas for cooking and fuel purposes, will be started next spring, unless unforeseen conditions arise, declared Raymond Hildebrand, attorney for the Montana-Dakota Power company, which is constructing the line, in statement this week, Original plans, he said, called for beginning construction during the present season. The company was compelled to abandon such plans be- cause of difficulties over which they had no control, he stated. Most of the difficulties have now been re- moved and construction is scheduled to commence early next spring. Ready by Fall The work will be completed in suf- ficient time to supply the home owners and business concerns natural gas for the fall heating sea- son. He said that construction will be rushed in the spring so that all work will be completed in the sum- mer. The pipe line will extend from the wells of eastern Montana and one near Marmarth, N. D., to Bis- marck, passing through Dickinson. The nature of the country to be traversed by the pipe line is such that along the greater portion the ditches can be dug with machinery, he said. Hundreds of men will be emplo: on construction crews, who, ging machinery, will be able to dig the ditches and lay the pipe in a short time. Below Plow Depth The pipe line will be buried well below plow depth, he continued. This will be done in order not to in- terfere with the use of the surface for agricultural or grazing purposes. Because of the magnitude of the un- dertaking, it has been the policy of the company before commencing actual construction to secure all necessary franchises, easements and rights of way. Most of these have now been secured, he stated. . The Montana-Dakota Power Co. is alreay supplying hundreds of people in Glendive, Terry and Miles City, Mont., Marmarth, N. anda number of towns in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Natural gas re- sources have been developed by the company, which controls a number of wells, and many miles of trunk pipe line have been laid for this purpose. Is Large Field The company owns and controls what has been pronounced by the} United States Geological survey as one of the largest gas fields in America, been drilled in the various gas domes constituting the field, and several drilling ‘rigs are constantly drilling and bringing in additional gas wells, according to Mr. Hildebrand. Natural gas comes out of the square inch, which is sufficient to transport the gas through trunk pipe lines for long distances without the aid of pumping stations. The gas is said to be dry, free from all dirt and other foreign substances and high in B, T. U. heating value. Prospects Pleasing Mr. Hildebrand stated that offi- rnment Plan ted by modern ditch dig-! colleges in each corps area.

Written acceptance of the gas franchise ordinance passed by the city commission was filed with them several weeks ago. According to the ako} the company must. within a period of two years irr the date of the acceptance of the franchise, completely install and have in operation a gas distributing system within the city.
