THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1930 _ Corn Basis of North A | OUT OUR WAY : By Williams | SHOW DINNER TOLD DESTINY OF STATE | IS IN TTS MAIZE} Walster Pictures Path Leading to Happiness as Agriculture of North Dakota Thrives GRAIN’S HISTORY TRACED) President of College Says Stom- achs of Egyptian and Inca Mummies Held Corn Corn was exalted as the basis of North American civilization, because of its predominant place in the agri- culture of the country, by Dr. J. H. Shepperd at the annual dinner of |’ the State Corn Show in the Terrace Garden rathskellar at the Patterson hotel Thursday evening. Dr. Shep- perd was tracing the history of corn back into antiquity, as revealed by archaeology. That was the keynote of the din- ner, which was attended by about 250 growers of corn and believers in it as S—_ BERNSTEIN, BIRGER) CRANER* DORN, eae Se EE SS Ee z DOLAN: DuBosKY, a factor in the destinies of the state and nation. Some of the growers were wives of farmers who themselves had entries at the show, others were busi- ness men of the city and experts in the agricultural extension service of the state, in addition to leaders in other activities. A feature of the dinner was the showing of movie pictures taken in Europe last summer by Congressman O. B. Burtness, while on his trip to Iceland to represent the state in the doings incident to the celebration of 1,000 years of parliamentary govern- ment. Hard Times in Europe The congressman adverted from de- scription of Icelandic and European . scenery to speak on economic condi- tions abroad. Some of the pictures showed women in Bohemia gleaning the stray heads of grain in the fields after the reapers had gathered up the cut grain. “Times are hard in Europe,” said the congressman from Grand Forks. “The people there are worse off than we are in this world-wide depression. Great sums in doles are being paid, and there is a larger percentage of unemployment in Europe than in America. Nothing is so cheap as hu- man labor in Europe. “No matter how poor our prices are, we are getting more for our products than Europeans. We must have more because our cost of production is higher.” Dr. H. L. Walster of the agricultural college, praised farmers who submit- ted entries to the State Corn Show. He characterized participants as builders of a better North Dakota. “We are on the high road to happi- ness,” he said. “We are going toward a goal of better agriculture. The trail leads to a better North Dakota. It leads to better appreciation of agri- culture and to better things connected with agriculture.” Lots of Vim at Dinner Assembly singing led by Henry J. Duemeland gave the dinner an at- mosphere of jollity, as when the diners ran away with one song “Around the Corn-er.” The Scottish Rite quartet— Rev. Gilbert W. Stewart, Henry Hal- verson, A. J. Arnot, and George Hum- Phreys—sang classic numbers, and Adolph Engelhardt’s dinner orchestra of three—Katherine Andrest, ‘cello; Mrs. Grace Morris, pianist; and Mr. Engelhardt, violin—interspersed the feast with selections during the lulls in the program. George F. Will, corn show president, was toastmaster. Congressman O. B. Burtness was sent to Iceland by the state, along with Judge Gudmunder Grimson, last summer, to represent North Dakota. His pictures included scehes during the festivities and historical pageantry of the occasion. King Christian of Denmark appeared in the film, and the city of Rikjevik, the capital, was shown in part. Other pictures depicted scenes in Germany, Norway, Scotland, France, and England. Corn and Destiny Mr. Walster took the thought that corn is part of the destiny of North Dakota. He said the show was doing its bit toward making a better North. Dakota, because it was one of those steps by which inspiration was given the builders of the commonwealth. Schools, fairs, clubs—all were doing their share, dedicated as they were to putting the best foot forward. No one can vision where the path leads, but -he was sure it was the path to happiness—a better North Dakota. Dy. Shepperd went into archaeology te trace the origin of corn. That ori- gin, however, he showed, is shrouded in the mists of antigMity. Failure to locate it definitely in any given coun- try, he suggested, tended to the con- clusion that the grain was coeval with the -human race.

SHAFER DESIGNATES NOV. 9 EIBLSON DAY Governor Calls on State to Hon- or North Dakota's Avi- ation Hero A proclamation designating No- vember 9 as Carl Ben Eielson Memor- jal day was issued from the office of Governor George F. Shafer, today. The day will commemorate the first anniversary of the death of the her- oic aviator, on the frozen wastes of Siberia November 9, 1930.. Schools Were urged to observe the day with commorative ceremonies Friday, November 7, 1930, since the memorial day falls on a Sunday. The proclamation: “Whereas, the history of North Da- kota has produced one ‘native son, Carl Ben Eielson, who has been ac- claimed throughout the land as a na- tional hero, and whose name and fame has, within the year, been per- Hi : MA manently embalmed in the heroic and Hil patriotic traditions of our state; and “Whereas, because of his daring achievements in aerial exploration in the Arctic and Antarctic regions of the world and his charming - and un- blemished character as a man, Carl Ben Eielson’s, memory is dear to the hearts and minds of the people of North Dakota, and \it should, there- fore, be forever cherished as a pre- cious heritage and eminent example of American heroism for the inspira- tion of present and future genera- tions; and “Whereas, in order to more effect- ively preserve and perpetuate that sublime memory, it seems desirable and appropriate that suitable me- morial services and programs should annually be held throughout the state of North Dakota as an occasion for the public dissemination of full and merican Civilization Says Dr. J. H. Shepperd MAYVILLE COLLEGE MOTHERS DAY NOV. 7 Custom Dr. Swain Inaugurated in 1926 Brought 150 to Last Year's Party ‘ Mayville, N. D., Oct. 24.—()—Moth- er’s College day will be celebrated on the Mayville state teachers college campus Friday, Nov. 7. It will be the fourth consecutive year that the mothers of students will be entertained at an all-day program. The includes a convocation in the morning, a buffet luncheon, a student entertainment in the after- noon, a tea, and in the evening 3° t. banquet i ‘The custom of entertaining mother: for one day during the school year was inaugurated in 1926 by President C. C. Swain. The day was established to honor mothers and motherhood, and to make the mothers of students better acquainted with student and class life at the college. Last year approximately 150 mothers were present. A larger attendance is expezted this year. IMMUNE Berwick, Pa—Mary Keener, 15. had some doubt about getting back to school this year. She had been vaccinated 19 times, received a tem- porary certificate admitting her to school, and when the vaccinations failed to “take.” Dr. Campbell re- -leently visited her to vaccinate the girl for the twentieth time. When this vaccination failed to take, he issued her a permanent school cer- tificate. ’ Article No. 33 By WM. E. MCKENNEY (Secretary American Bridge League) Match play progressive bridge de- rives its name from match play in golf, Although the total scores are kept for each hand at the completion of each round, the scores are used only to determine winners of that round and are not carried over from that round to the next. Pairs are made up by mutual agreement. Two pairs are assigne to each table but no tallies are dis- tributed. The hostess, or one in charge, shall place a small American flag at each table. Four deals con- stitute a round. If a deal is passed out the deal passes to the left and the scorer shall give zero to each side on the score pad for that deal. At the end of each round. the scores for both sides are totaled at each table and the smaller score sub- tracted from the larger. The pair with the net plus score wins the iit- tle American flag at their table and shall be entitled to progress one table toward the head table. The losers at the head t&ble go to the last, or bot- tom, table. Players do not change partners, but retain the same partner throughout the evening's play. Upon arriving at the new table the four players shall cut for deal. In fact, corn is a wabble plant, he said, one that swings this way and that way, so that plant breeders can develop particular tendencies and characteristics. Dr. Shepperd predicted that, due to this trait of the grain, agricultural scientists will probably succeed in breeding varieties in some of which oil will be predominant, in others protein. So corn offers a great and unfathomed future for the state and the nation, he commented. zy t Hazelton J By ADALINE LANDSBERGER Mr. and Mrs. E, Hulsether motored to Linton Monday afternoon.

Some six to eight rounds may be played in an evening. The pair having won the largest number of flags at the end of the evening are declared the winners. If two or more pairs have the same number of flags, these pairs then play off to see who shall be declared the winner. It must ‘be remembered that after the score is figured up at the end of each round to determine the winner of the flag, the score is then forgot- ten and is not carried over from one round to the next. It is simply a question of how many pairs vou can defeat in one evening. ‘This system is also adaptable to clubs who desire to rum @ series of games. . Simply carry over each eve~ ning a record of the number of flags, or the number of pairs, that each player has won or defeated. Players should change partners each evening, therefore at the end of a series of three to five games, the one player having won the greatest number. of flags—or defeated the greatest num- ber of pairs—would be. deciared. the winner of the series. 3 (Copyright, 1930, NEA Service.

One flock has been kept in a woven wire inclosure where some green food is provided. Droppings are not allowed to accumulate, and air-slaked lime is scattered about the brooder house to keop down the breeding of flies, which are the carriers of tapeworms. The other flock has been given free range to gather insects, grain, and green feed, in addition to grain fed in hoppers. There are no indications of tapeworm in this flock, but it does not make the rapid gains that are noticed in the confined flock. Jansonius to Hear ‘Recall Motion Oct. 30 Minot, N.
