. REPORT 1S. MADE TO GOV, SHAFER BY K. C, NELSON Auditor Says If Fixed Charges Were Disregarded Institution Would Show Profit | LOSS PER BARREL IS LOW Record of Institution for First Seven Months Is Practically Same as in 1929 Losses of the state mill and elevator at Grand Forks during July were $6,268.32, according to a report made to Governor George F. Shafer by K. C. Nelson, auditor. ‘This was a decided reduction in the losses sustained during the two pre- vious months, The July loss includes all charges for bond interest and de- preciation on buildings and equip- ment. If these charges were not made, Nelson's report said, the plant would show an operating gain of $19,436.95 for the month. For the first seven months from January 1 to July 31, the report shows ‘@ loss of $106,669.95, which includes charges for bond interest and depre- ciation. If these charges were not made the plant would show an oper- ating gain of $73,211.05, according to the report. The interest and depre- ciation charges for the period totalled $179,881. “For the month of July,” the report said, “the per barrel loss including interest and depreciation charges is 1115, while the per barrel loss for the first seven months is 429. Compar- ing this with 1929 for the first seven months, this year showed a loss of $101,065.02 or .422 per barrell loss, 1929 being .007 less per barrell less than 1930, which are two of the best years showing since the plant started to operate. “During the month of July there was ground 238,567 bushels of wheat, manufacturing 53,566 barrels of flour. For the period beginning January 1 to July 31, there was ground 1,109,381 bushels of wheat manufacturing 248,- 681 barrels of flour.” ‘The report showed the mill pur- chased 179,479 bushels of wheat dur- ing July, with 164,889 being purchased from points within the state, and 14,- 590 from Montena points. “The mill owns and has paid for approximately 750,000 bushels of wheat which is on hand,” the report continued. “This is about 300,000 bushels in excess of the amount re- quired to fill sales which are unde- livered at this date. All of this wheat is of very good quality and assures & good wheat mix for the coming fall's business. The number Cr bushels a Paleoed ground during July was the larg of any month this year. The July figure was 238,567 bushels. A total of 53,566 barrels of flour manufactured during the month was the largest of any preceding month of the year. The report shows a profit for two months, January and April, and @ loss for five months of this year. In January the profit was $4,847.98, and in April $9,420.70. The losses were February $30,683.53; March $21,- 127.53; May $27,072.40; June $35,786.85, and July $6,268.32.

With the famous actor's funeral rites over, film fans already are ask- ing this question. Aud it’s a question very easily answered—Lon will have no successor. ‘There are a large number of excel- lent character actors engaged in the motion picture business and the stage could furnish many more, but none of them can ever take the place of “The Man of a Thousand Faces.” in fact, film producers never will make ‘an attempt to groom a successor to Chaney, because they know that such ® thing can’t be done. Hollywood learned its lesson in that respect! when Rudolph Valentino died. * e * Never yet has person been found | who could step into the shoes of a famous stage or screen personage. Sarah Bernhardt never was replaced after her death. Neither were Wally Reid, Valentino, Barbara LaMarr, Theodore Roberts c: Mabel Normand. Each of them seemed to have a spe- cial niche in public favor that could not stitute, no matter how good. And Chaney now takes his place with these immortals of the footlights and kleigs. Valentino's popularity was so tre- mendous that film producers sought to capitalize upon it after his death. Executives of the Paramount studio announced publicly they had dis- covered his successor in Ricardo Cor- tez, at that time a promising young actor. But the public's reaction was such that Cortez never has enjoyed any real success since. Even Valen- tino’s brother failed as a successdr to the popular idol. As a result of that experience, pro- ducers came to the realization they would have to build up entirely new personalities to take the places of those who had passed on. The pub- lic stands willing to accept these new personalities but they never will take ® substitute. There are a few actors within the film industry who might have the ability to take Chaney's place, but none of them would attempt such a feat. They will only work the harder to build up their own positions. Jean Hersholt came under the same classi- fication as Lon. He is an artist at make-up and pantomime. But Jean, though he might rise to even greater heights as himself, never could be a Lon Chaney. Emil Jannings, the great German actor, might be said to be Chaney’s equal in every respect. Some day he might be even higher on the ladder of fame than Chaney was, but it is very doubtful if he could occupy the niche made vacant by Lon’s death. ‘The reason for this condition is simple. The places once held by these favorites never have been vacated— they still are filled with memories.

Have Helped Growth of Grass; Ranchers Unwilling to Sell at Loss Fargo, N. D., Sept. 8.— While the feed situation in Montana has changed materially during the past six weeks, the general situation at this time presents a splendid oppor- tunity for North Dakota farmers to extend their livestock holdings, is the report made by B. E. Groom of the Greater North Dakota association, and N. D. Gorman of the extension department of the Agricultural col- lege, upon their return from Mon- tana where they had been sent to look into the livestock situation for their respective organizations. On this trip they visited leading stock- men, ranchers and dry land farmers, as they could meet them at Miles City, Billings, Bozeman, Butte; Hel- lena, Great Falls, Havre and inter- mediate points. Commenting on the feed situation in Montana, over which there has been a great deal of publicity, Groom said: “It is very evident that early in August the situation was bad, as there seemed to be no break in the drought and water supplies were fail- ing. At that time, Montana livestock men held a conference with Governor Erickson and he was directed to at- tend the drought conference at | Washington, D. C., called ‘by Presi- jdent Hoover and Secretary Hyde. various lines to solve the feed situa- jtion, While that was under way the |most of the state was favored with good rains which started the grass, filled the water holes, and completely changed the picture. Right now, grazing conditions appear to be good in all parts of Montana and the stock is all in fine condition. These rains, will not, of course, help the hay crop. but a large part of their hay comes from irrigated areas anyhow, and that hay was not adversely affected by the drought. Much of the grain crop in ‘Montana is @ failure, but a large part of this grain was cut for hay and this will go a long ways in helping solve the hay shortage.” Ranchers Better Off In trying to locate the areas which were reported as having a large \amount of stock that must be shipped out, Groom said that the only stuff that could be found was the small lots of dry land farmers who are elosing out. The rancher, who owns 15% of Montana’s livestock, is report- jed as being in better circumstances. He has his summer range, winter range, more hay and is able to coin- mand financial backing to see him through. The real ranchers in Mon- tana are breeding high class stock ahd on that account they get better prices for what they have to offer than the miscellaneous lots of stuff offered by the small growers. “We found that the ranchers, their livestock organizations and bankers, were invariably holding out foraprice of 6 cents per pound for choice lambs,” he added. “Buyers are offer- ing 5 cents.
