THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1980 | RDERAL RESERVE | * REPORT SHOWS | SOME GOOD SPOTS in Main Business Throughout Ninth District Was Be- low Year Ago GREATER INCOME IN FLAX Durum Wheat Marketing Return Also Above September, 1929; Bank Debits Lower The volume of business in the ninth federal reserve bank district, with Minneapolis as the hub, was smaller in September than in the cor- responding month a year ago, accord- ing to the report for that month just issued, but ‘there were some good spots in the situation, increases be- | ing reported for the income from! durum wheat and flax marketed, | while flour production and building contracts are credited with increases. ‘The report says: The Taally average of bank debits was 23 per cent below the figure for September last year, with all parts of the district experiencing decreases. The country check clearings index was also 23 per cent below the figure for September last year. Freight car- loadings in the first four weeks of September were 18 per cent smaller than in the corresponding weeks last year, with all commodity groups de- creasing, except grains and grain pro- ducts. Increases over the corresponding month last year were reported for electric power consumption in tne eastern part of the district, building ontracts and flour production. De- creases were reported for building permits, linseed product shipments, copper and iron ore output and coun- try lumber sales. Employment in- déxes for Minneapolis declined furth- er in September. Value of Marketed Products ‘The estimated cash value of major farm products marketed in Septem- ber was 7 per cent smaller than the value of marketings in September last year. Decreases occurred in bread wheat, rye, potatoes, dairy products and hogs, and increases occurred in durum wheat and flax. The latter increases were occasioned by heavy marketings, which more than offset price declines. Prices of all import- ant farm products in the district were lower in September than a year ago, with the exception of heavy hogs. ‘The estimated value of important farm products marketed in the dis- trict were: Sept. 1930 Sept. 1929 Bread wheat ..$23,167,000 $28,950,000 Durum wheat . 10,499,000 8,848,000 Rye . 2,157,000 2,441,000 Flax 9,502,000 6,042,000 Potatoes . 3,865,000 4,440,000 Dairy p! 17,450,000 20,228,000 Hogs . 7,086,000 8,670,000 © $73,726,000 $79,619,000 Bank Debits Deecrease Bank debit totals for the district for September were $1,027,900, while for September, 1929, they were $1,278,- 251. In North Dakota there was a decrease in every city but Fargo, where a slight increase was shown. For the most part, bank debits are checks against depositors’ accounts and thus represent payments. Bank aebits are all debits against accounts of individuals, firms, corporations end government accounts, including war loan deposit accounts, and also debits to savings accounts, payments from trust accounts and certificates of deposit paid. Bank debits do not include debits in settlement of clear- ing house balances nor debits to cor- respondent bank accounts nor pay- ments of cashiers’ checks, charges to expense and miscellaneous accounts, corrections and similar charges.

HETTINGER SCHOOL - GIVEN RECOGNITION Te Will Join With Other Institutions in Honoring Birthday of Poet Vergil Hettinger, N. Dak., Oct. 18—On Thursday afternoon, October 23, the Hettinger High school, in conjunction with 999 other schools, will partici- pate in a world-wide celebration of the birth of the poet Vergil. These one thousand schools have been Picked as outstanding among 13,000 schools by Phi Beta Kappa, national honorary scholarship collegiate fra- ternity, which is cooperating with other organizations in arranging the celebration. Paul W. Boehm, state's attorney and resident of Hettinger, will speak on Phi Beta Kappa with a part of his address directed toward those Het- tinger high school pupils who expect! to attend college after graduation. The fraternity is developing a fund called the Phi Beta Kappa Founda- tion primarily for encouraging schol- arship and cultural ideals in the realms of secondary and higher edu- cation. This purpose, together with the outstanding excellence of the Het- tinger school, provides this oppor- tunity for joining with selected in- stitutions in practically every state of the Union in the celebration of the 2000th birthday of Vergil. In addition to the address by Mr. Boehm, the Hettinger high school Glee Club will present several num- bers and a few instrumental num- bers will be given. . MENOKEN SCHOOL NOTES Miss Sara Boyd resigned her posi- tion as principal of the Menoken Consolidated school to take a govern- ment position teaching in the tuber- culosis sanitarium for Indians in Toledo, Iowa. She is succeeded by Miss Margarette Olson from James- town: i A farewell partly was given for Miss Boyd by the school, The junior high school dedicated a song to her. It was written by the pupils and adopted to the tune of “Old Lang Syne.” They also presented to her a booklet, in which were pasted snapshots of the school ,and pupils; a modern free-verse poem by Mabel Wood, and a list of the names of the pupils of the Menoken school. te > | | 4|Chicago and Peoria | \gl, hd Camille Agnew gaye a piano solo,| “Whispering Hope,” and the other rooms gave several numbers.

Camille Agnew was elected editor of the senior roomy Plans were made for our Hallo-| ween party which will be held at the school house: on the evening of Oct. This party will include the high school pupils and teachers. Several committies were chosen. Eleanor Craven was elected chair- man of the entertainment committee, Dorothy Brooks of the decoration committee, Clarence Doppler of the refreshment committee, Dorothy De Groot of the invitation committee. Dorothy has moved to Bismarck, so another person will be eelcted for this position. . The heads of these committees are to appoint two others for helpers. Another meeting was called this morning for the purpose of electing a committea which will meet some time in“ffe near future with the teachers to plan a Thanksgiving pro- gram in which every one will take part. Clarence Doppler was made chair- man of the committee and his help- ers are Conrad Welch and Stanley McCurdy, 1 The high school boys under the direction of Mr. Dennis Reitzel are practicing basketball on our outdoor basketball court. Much enthusiasm has been exhibited. If the same spirit is shown throughout the win- ‘ter, Menoken should have a good basketball team. The girl’s glee club are working up several numbers which will be givens at the P, T. A, and future school programs. The numbers which they have selected are, “In- dian Dawn,” “Barcarolle,” and “Waiting in the Shadows.” _The girls of the junior and senior high were anxious to organize a kittenball team. The girls of the two rooms met and each promised to contribute a small sum toward the buying of an indoor ball.* ‘The ball was ordered and arrived a few days ago. Practice has begun and we hope to! have a well organized team some- time in the near future, Gangsters at War Peoria, Ill, Oct. 18—(#)—An at- tempt by Chicago gangsters to cut into the profits of gambling in was blamed by police for the slaying with a machine gun of Mrs. Cora Garrison, 37. Mrs. Garrison was killed last night by a man who en- gaged her husband, Clyde, in a duel after the couple had stepped out of their garage following an automobile ride. Garrison, a reputed gambling house operator, was wounded. The slayer escaped. Police said recent kidnapings of two Peoria gamblers strengthened their theory that a WOMEN AT U. GET ARCHERY TRAINING Coeds Are Instructed in Gentle Art of Directing Darts by Sport Department Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. 18.— Cupid evidently wants helpers. As- sistants are being trained in archery at the women’s sport department at the University of North Dakota. Archery tournaments are held after a period of practice to see who is the most proficient in this art. These are individual instead of group contests where the girl who has the highest score out of a certain number of tries receives a gold medal, The other prize, a_ silver medal, is givén to the girl who hits the target the highest number of times. Thelma Rudser of Grand Forks won both prizes last year, Other sport activities according to Della Marie Clark, head of the Wom- en’s Athletics, are numerous, Dur- ing the fall season hockey interclass games are played. Girls who make the team after filing the required number of practices win points to- ward the U. N. D. sweater, The girls who have the most ability are chosen from each class team to make up the varsity honor team. These girls reteive an extra nunfber of points. * The most popular sport, said Miss Clark, is basketball. Before the class tournaments, come the color tourna- ments where eight; teams compete made up of girls from every ‘class. Then the inter-mural contests where sororities compete follow. Following the completion of the) basketball season practices in volley ball start. In the spring tennis, golf, soccer and baseball have their turn, Marion Wisner of Grand Forks has won the tennis tournaments for the past two years and if she wins the third consecutive time the tennis cup will be hers permanently. The golf tournament was won last spring by Inez Anderson of Valley City. In all these contests the girls taking part receive points toward3-the U. N. D. sweater.

PARAMOUNT THEATRE Another famous New York stage success serves as Norma Shearer's newest starring picture for Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer. It is “Let Us Be Gay,” Rachel Crothers’ popular com- edy_of marriage and morals which played for nearly one year on Broad- way. Like “The Trial of Mary Dugan” and “The Last of Mrs. Cheyney,” both of which revealed Miss Shearer as one of the most talented actresses in Hollywood, “Let Us Be Gay” suits the Shearer technique to the proverbial “T.” As the dowdy wife who divorces her wayward husband when the “other” woman becomes a bit too bold, and then developes into a charming and sophisticated woman of the the most delightful roles of her career. Another important role, and an hi- alrious one, is contributed by Marie Dressler, that incomparable come- dienne who recently scored so favor- ably in “Anna Christie” and with Polly Moran in “Caught Short.” It is around Miss Dressler, as a wealthy and eccentric dowager, that the pic- ture’s amusing situations revolve. Included in the supporting cast are Hedda Hopper, as a gushing dilet- | tante, Raymond Hackett, Sally Eilers, Tyrell Davis and Gilbert Emery, all of whom give convincing and thor- oughly gay performances. Robert Z. Leonard, who recently | directed Norma Shearer in her great success, “The Divorcee,” directed “Let Us Be Gay.” “Let Us Be Gay” will be presented at the Paramount theatre for two days starting Monday.

D., Oct. 18—Members of the Hettinger Lions club gathered in the parlors of ¢he Congregational church, Oct. 14, for the first regular meeting of the club since a recess was voted during the last part of June.

In making his report on highway work, L. M. Howell advised that the state. highway commission officials have adopted @ favorable attitude toward | the request of Hettinger people that the road leading from Mott to Haynes be designated a state highway.

Iding Contracts in Ninth District Increase \FARM BUREAU HEAD | AVERS SPECULATORS - CAUSED DEPRESSION ting ‘Their Fair Share’ Chicago, Oct. 18—(F)—Sam R. Thompson, president of the American Farm Bureau federation, Friday laid business depression to “the specula- tive system of marketing farm prod- uce.” The first prominent agricultural leader to speak over a national radio hookup inaugurated by the ae declared no business depression if farmers had getting a fair share of the na- income for the last 10 years. “Marketing is a major feature of the program adopted by the federal government as a policy for America,” he said. “It has for its purpose the stabilization of agriculture. If we will unite our efforts and whole- artedly this program we will be able to develop a plan of dis- 4| tribution that will substantially in- crease the income of the farmer. “an increased income for each serve a supper ah farm family would méan an increased ity throughout the nation.

This is being done on such a scale and in such & volume that it has indeed become a large scale business in line with the age we live in. In just one month, for instance, it handled successfully, 17,000,000 bushels of grain.” He sketched also the achievements of the several other cooperative ov- ganizations sponsored by the f-deral farm boards, including those to mar- ket wool, cotton and livestock.

ORDER AS VICTORY FOR NORTHERN STATES | Reconsideration of Merger Ap- proval Was Sought by North Dakota and Others | | | St. Paul, Oct. 18—(#)—The inter- state commerce commission’s order for a reconsideration of its Great Northern -Northern Pacific merger decision was hailed as a victory for Minnesota and the people of the Northwest by D. F. Jurgensen, chief engineer of the Minnesota railroad and warehouse co! lon. Mr. Jurgensen charge of the railroad and warehouse commission's campaign against the merger in which 10 other midwest and north- west states joined. The list included North Dakota. Minnesota, through the railroad mission, petitioned the commis- jSion for a rehearing and reargument jor the case last June. The other |states followed with similar petitions. In general, all claimed the proposed consolidation of the Northerns would be illegal, and in addition would in- |jure the public by causing unemploy- ment and bring other undesirable re- ‘sults. “Minnesota blocked the meftger of |the Northerns in 1896 and again in 1904, both times carrying the fight to |the supreme court,” Mr. Jurgensen said. “If we succeed again it will be |the third time this state has prevent- ed the illegal and unconstitutional consolidation of these parallel and competing railroads. “Not only all the opposing states, but the public at large, including em- ployes of the railroads, will have an opportunity to participate in the new aring.” ‘The commission ordered the case reopened yesterday but did not spe- cify either time or place for the hear- ing. Previously, the commission had conditionally approved the proposed consolidation.
