* 4 is caaaecaueesieneae aie AT ROTARUAN LUNGH Dr. Bonney Features Program With Card Tricks; Base- ball Sponsorship Up A considerable portion of the den- tists convention was transferred to the Rotary luncheon, today, both in ttumbers and talent. In fact, the feature of the entertain- ment was by Dr. Tom Bonney, of Aberdeen, 8. D., who is a slight-of- hand performer of enviable talent. The doctor performed a number of card tricks, with the assistance of several of the experts attending the convention. Dr. Henry P. Boos, of Minneapolis, pave a talk on behalf of the dentist guests and supplied the club with several of the latest stories for after- dinner speeches. Farewell Given Alfonte Kenneth W. Simons, of the Amer- ean Legion and the community base- ball committee, presented the matter of a junior league baseball organiza- tion in the city this summer and asked the Rotarians to sponsor one of the four boys’ clubs to be organ- ized, Other. service clubs and the Legion will assume charge of the other clubs. ‘The matter was referred to the board of directors. Judge Adolph Christianson spoke the club’s farewell words to Col. W. A. Alfonte, who leaves here in about three weeks, though it had been ex- pected he would go about the first of May. Judge Christianson stressed the privelege a Rotary club enjoys when it can have a representative of the professional military man in its membership, with the possible excep- tion of Fargo, he said, is the only club in North Dakota enjoying that distinction. Contest With Mandan A communication from Roy Bridg- man, district manager, announced that he was paring Bismarck and Mandan in an attendance contest at the Duluth district convention, the winner to receive a trophy. George Duemeland reparted some 20 Rotar- jans and nine Rotary-Anns going from. here and one Rotarian from ‘Mandan. Dr. Greene W. Rawlings introduced the dentists present. These included Dr. H. P.

Knud Wefald to File For Senatorship Soon Moorhead, Minn., April 30.—(?)— Asserting he feels he can best repre- sent the great mass of people in Min- nesota “whose fortunes have taken wings these last few years” Knud ‘Wefald, state farmer-labor party en- dorsee for the United States senate, today said he would file this week.

Zimmerman Admits Ma- rauding in Bismarck and Mandan to Martineson Confession that he broke into the Taylor Drug Store and the Connolly Chevrolet company, Mandan, as well as Ack’s Radiator Shop and the In- terstate Transportation company Garage, Bismarck, was made early this afternoon by R. L. Zimmerman, young man who has been in Mandan the last few weeks, Chris J. Martineson, Bismarck chief of police, secured the confession after examining the man, he said. Zimmerman probably will be charged with grand larceny, Martine- son said. The Bismarck police chief said that Zimmerman also owed sev- eral bills in Mandan and Bismarck. Zimmerman was arrested by Bis- marck police early Monday: morning when he threw @ rock through the back window of the Chris Bertsch Garage, Bismarck. He gained en trance into all the places he ma- rauded by throwing rocks through windows, he said. The man took only one fountain pen and some chewing gum from the Taylor drug store but secured money and other things of value in the other Places, he confessed, according to Martineson. Issues Challenge To Set Up Private Farm Relief Body (Continued from page One) members of the chamber join with him in setting up a private organiza- tion to do work that the farm board is now doing. When there was no reply, he added that he would be glad. to confer later with members of the chamber on his . The intensity of the session was heightened by Secretary Hyde, who— though not listed as a speaker—de- livered a vehement extemporaneous defense of the board. He contended that much of the opposition to the board resulted from “a fat headed, Altiite [ital to so upset the normal course of bus- iness at this sort of action endorsed by the government has done,” he said. “The independent grain mer- chant cannot hope to meet this situ- ation. It is the ruination of his bus- iness. It is unfair and un-American and we demand that the marketing act be modified.” Meanwhile Harrison F. Jones, of Chicago, representing poultry, butter and egg merchants, had advocated a chamber vote to condemn the farm act. Legge Causes Uproar Legge’s address threw into contro- versy the hitherto serene sessions of the eighteenth annual meeting of the chamber. An entirely different view had been prepared by Daniel A. Mil- lett, Denver banker and stockman, for presentation to the delegates. In addition, middle-western grain deal- ers attending the meeting had an- nounced an intention of replying to the defense of the farm board by its chairman. In his address Legge assailed “bankers and business men who met the crisis in the stock market last fall with more than half a billion dol- lars but failed to volunteer any aid when the commodities market faced a like crisis, although by doing so they would have performed as important if not a more valuable service to the nal than saving the stock mar- Instead, he continued, “there was criticism of the farm board for giving necessary assistance that could not be had from any other source.” Supplies Means Necessary Legge declared congress had def- initely committed the country to the principle of cooperative marketing of farm products. The agricultural marketing act, he said, supplies the means necessary to help the farmer help himself out of his major cco- nomical difficulties and “the farm board is going to give him every as- sistance permitted by the lay “I am sure that most of you will agree that you know more about the agricultural situation and how to meet it than I do,” he said. “A con- siderable percentage of your member- ship have made that quite clear and perhaps the best answer I can make is the statement that, if it be true and you really do know so much about it, the situation presents a very severe indictment of the organ- ization, which havin= full informa- tion of the facts has made so little effort to remedy the situation. “ none of you have seen any evidence of constructive action on the part of the chamber of commerce or any of its affiliated organizations, with the doubtful exception of taking a referendum two years ago, looking to a remedy for and permanent im- provement in the situation which our own investigators had warned re- quired substantial assistance, if not from you, then from the government.” Had Some Support “Perhaps I should mention the fact that while your national organization did adopt a policy of silence when congress was framing the agricultural your before the house committee on agri- culture and indorsed the principles of that legislation,” he said. “One might find much justification in the statement that your attitude generally has been one of indiffei ence if indeed not of antagonism; that you regarded the farm problem like the poor as something ‘we have with us always’ and that you who are more fortunate discussed it along much the same lines as the ladies who are apt to refer to the household help question—something that had to be endured if one was to avoid hav- ing to do the work oneself. “It is true that there have been many public expressions of sympathy and feeling for the farmer, but let us be certain that in giving expres- sion to this feeling that our hand acing acts, and the work of the de- ‘nancing acts, and the work of the de- half century. Points Out Inconsistency “The department of agriculture has perserverance Increasing the end that the unit cost of produc- tion might be reduced. That's sound. “What a glaring inconsistency, to setup at the cost of taxpayers one set of government institutions to increase agricultural production, and lessen its cost, and then turn around and set up another galaxy of government. institutions to increase the price of the thereby created surplus and to limit its production.” Millett asserted that what the busi- ness interests of the United States needs is “not more combination, in- cluding farmers, but less interference with the law of economic supply and demand, functioning through price.” He said adherence to this law was the “only sure, inevitable, sound, scien- tific method of eliminating the mar- ginal producer.” Farmer Unencouraged Saying that under recent conditions there was nothing to encourage the farmer to improve his property, Ohairman Legge continued: “One modern improvement on which the farmer has kept strictly up-to-date is the farm mortgage. Most of them have that. “The farmer's struggle has been DEVILS LAKE SCHOOL STUDENTS WINNERS Approximately 600 Lake Region Contestants Competed for Various Honors Devils Lake, N. D., April 30.—(P)}— About 600 entries participated in the one of meeting time payments on the] here mortgage. A struggle in which he has failed in a very large number of cases, and the record of foreclosures and forced sale of farm property is still running high. “after many years of discussion and deliberation congress finally passed the agricultural marketing act, which many of you people are now branding as socialistic, or anarchistic, and complaining of interference with, or necessitating some readjustment in the present system of handling cretain commodities.” Need Readjustment “It is rather difficult,” Legge con- tinued, “to see how progress can be made toward improvement in the ag- ricultural marketing situation with- out necessitating some readjustment of existing conditions.” “The country generally and busi- ness men for the most part gave their approval of the agricultural market- ing act before it became a law. “I am sorry to say that there has been considerable evidence the past seyeral months that entirely too many of your members were for the Principle of cooperation only so long as it didn’t work. “When it became apparent that a means had been provided that really would help the farmer get organized cooperatively so that he, like other producers, would have some voice in determining the sale price of his commodity, the effort was branded as government price fixing, putting the government in business, etc., and all of this notwithstanding the fact they had declared unmistakably for the Principle of cooperative marketing only a year previously. Business Received Aid “I do not recall in years gone by of hearing you business men making any such complaint against govern- ment aid that was extended to the manufacturing industry, to transpor- tation and to finance, and these all played their part in adding to the disadvantage of the farmer as did also the preferential treatment to la- bor through immigration restriction what the government has done for others but it does seem to us that these beneficiaries ought to be will- ing that the farmer also be given a helping hand from the source so that he, too, will be in position to take care of himself in the economic sys- tem that has been built upon in this country so largely by special favors. “All the farmers are trying to do, with the farm board assistance, is, by acting together, to apply the same methods and other lines long since. If they were good for you fellows they are like- wise good for the farmer.” Jamestown Woman Heads Presbyterial Courtenay, N. D., April 30.—(7)— Mrs. C. E.
