Harvests of grains, the leading crops In the state, in some instances showed (increases and in others the yield was lower. Increases were recorded in pro- duction of durum wheat, oats, barley, and corn. Smaller yields resulted from the planting of winter wheat, flax, oats, and winter rye. Durum Acreage Decreases From 3,604,230 acres growers of durum wheat harvested 51,041,806 bushels, as compared with a 1927 acreage of 3,134,000 and a return of 38,411,874 bushels.

COMMUNITY CHEST COMMITTEES START While Teams and Prospects Are Being Assigned, Advance Work ts Opened The districting committee of the Community Chest drive met at the Association of Commerce, Thursday evening, and began the work of list- ing prospective contributors. The work was not completed nor was the selection of teams finished. There are to be about 40 of the latter, and each will have its special dis- trict or quota of contributors to handle. The committee to which was as- signed the canvass of business houses whose home offices out of tewn must be consulted has begun that task. It will make its appeal direct to the home headquarters. Another committee at work is the advance contribution committec. This body of workers is taking the pledges of the larger contributors, seme as high as $250. Between these and the outside contributions about half of the Chest total is col- lected. Last year tht total was be- tween $15,000 and $14,000, with about 1,200 contributors givin, The drive will be held Thursday, Feitey: and Saturday, October 3, 4, Invited to Join in Airport Dedication An urgent invitation has been re- here by the airplane colony Bismarck field to fly over to and assist in the dedica- new airport there.

Graham, state auto- ‘Mobile registrar, in a letter to the Bismarck Allied Printing ‘Trades council, Tn a letter to Graham the council had charged that his effort to sub- stitute lithographing for printing was a “pure and simple evasion of the law” and demanded that he use “only such printed matter and blanks as can be manufactured by means of and through typography.” Graham said that, on the forms which he sought to have lithographed, he could save $192 or approximately 20 per cent, ‘not tomention a number of clectrotypes that vill be if the forms are printed.” Graham said that “your point 1s well taken, in that when practicable, forms should be manufactured by means of and through typography, but occasionally the process of lithog- raphy is better adapted to the pro- | duction of certain forms. It is in no way inferior to typography, but is of the highest class of the printing art, as you will admit. “Being a printer myself, I am vitally interested in the advancement of the craft, but, also being a state official, I have a duty to the taxpay- [ers which I cannot well ignore.

They pointed out, also, that by ob- taining bids upon an entire classifi- cation of printing, the state obtains a | low rate for small jobs for which the price of lithographing would be pro- hibitive. The printing commission Wednes- day rejected Graham's proposal awarded the work to the Tribune company under its contract. GRAND FORKS WOMAN Mrs. W. A.

Hugh Allen THE FIRST AUTHORIZED STORY OF THE LIFE OF THB COMMANDER OF THE ZEPPELINS | By HUGH ALLEN ! | (Copyright, 1929, NEA Service, Inc.) The First Authorized Story of the Life ef the Commander of the Zeppelins. CHAPTER VIIT | With all of his commercial pilots off to war, Dr. Eckener found his task of training other men for service becom- ing more and more pressing. He had to man new ships which the navy was ordering in constantly increasing numbers, and which were being built | at Friedrichshafen at ever increasing speed. He would have liked two or three years to train personnel. But | in the latter years of the war when | the great works at Friedrichshafen, expanded again and again by military necessities, were turning out complete | ships within six to eight weeks, there | was no time for such training. Dr. Eckener sent out some fifty ship commanders during the war. Replacements were heavy as the al Mes built up their anti-aircraft de- fenses. The first Zeppelins were used large- ly over land. Losses were heav: The ships were slow and had low ceil- ing. Some were shot down. Some tan out of fuel before they could get back to a hangar, and had cither to land in the open, or drifted into | mountain ranges in the fog, where | they were destroyed. Larger and stronger ships were called for. Karl} ¢-nstein, a brilliant young Bohemian | mathematician, joined the company | shortly after the war opened and was soon to be chief enginecr and con- structor of some 70 full rigid ships. Part of Dr. Eckener's work was to maintain laison between the factory | and the combat forces, to suggest al- | terations necessitated by changing conditions of warfase. There were plenty of changes to be made. At onc time the demand was for speed, at ahother for increased carrying ca- pacity, whether of fuel or munitions, and at another for greater altitude.
