Leaders Are Seeking to Avoid Special Session Washington, Nov. 29.—(#)—The Seventy-first congress begins its final session Monday confronted by per- Sie that forecast troublesome lays for the legislators and adminis- tration alike. Rigid tests of leadership in both branches loom large as progressive elements, confident of increased Power in the next congress, clamor for consideration of controversial legislation that might lead to an ex- ian session of the new national legis- lature. Speaker Longworth today declared unalterable opposition to an extra Session of congress and said he would do everything possible to avoid it. “What we want,” he said, “is the recovery of business and the cessation of unemployment. Legislative un- * certainty would retard business and prolong unemployment.” As administration leaders in the senate and house formulated pro- grams to avert such a special assem- bly, they faced with no little anxiety, the problem of disposing of four long- Standing and controverted matters. Seck Shoals Compromise Ranking first is the disposal of Muscle Shoals, now in dispute be- tween the two houses. Efforts, how- ever, are to be made for a comprom- | ise. * Senator Norris, progressive Repub- lican, has demanded action on this and the three other issues: , Elimination of the “lame duck” ~ sessions of congress; the Wagner un- employment bills pending in the house, and the anti-injunction bill to Prevent the use of restraining orders in labor disputes. In the senate, a possible contest over the world court and nearly a score of important presidential nom-; inations, including that of William N. Doak .of Virginia as secretary of labor, undoubtedly will add to the burdens of the leaders. Left over from the last session, the Wickersham bills to relieve court congestion by juryless trials and the bills to create a unified border patrol and to place motor buses under regu- calendar. To Expedite Supply Bills ‘While Republican leaders pian to expedite action on the annual sup- ply bills for operation of the govern- ment, they are anxious for early ap- Proval of several unemployment and drought relief measures. ‘Through larger appropriations the public building program and federal- ly aided highway building are to be accelerated and expanded to furnish more employment. Further restric- tion of immigration also is to be sought. A $60,000,000 seed and fertilizer ‘oan fund is the aim of those spon- soring relief of farmers in drought areas, There is little expectation of ,changes“in the federal farm ast, al- though there still are some desiring adoption of the export debenture plan. An additional $100,000,000 at least, is expected to be furnished the farm board. ‘ Representativés from industrial states have determined to resist ef- forts {rcm_ agricultural regions and from prohibition leaders to change the present house reapportioriment plan either by increasing the number of seats or eliminating aliens from representation count. Dry Contest Looms A contest over appropriations for prohibition enforcement and the na- «tional law enforcement commission appears certain, on the basis of state- ments by wets. An effort to obtain consideration of @ plan to pay in full adjusted com- pensation certificates held by World war veterans is under way but has Slight likelihood of success. Chairman Hawley, of the house ways and means committee, said treasury receipts “will not warrant a renewal at this time of the one per cent reduction in income taxes,” and added: “Neither will there be any increase tn taxation.” Grain Marketed as Turkeys Profitable “Marketing grain in the form of turkey meat is one may of obtaining a good price for year,” says Rex e willard. farm economist at the Agricultural college. “Records show that a pound of turkey can be produced normally with 4 to 6 pounds of feed.

Job Would Be Better Than a College Degree / NORTH DAKOTA GIRL GOT AHEAD IN MOVIES DESPITE ADVERSITY Virginia Bruce Decided on Movie Career Rather Than Get- ting a Degree By DAN THOMAS Hollywood, Calif., Nov. 29.—(NEA) | —Virginia Bruce owes her entrance to the moving picture world—indi- rectly, anyhow—to higher education. Virginia's real name in Briggs, and | she formerly lived in Fargo, N. D. Virginia was a coed in the Univer- sity of California's Los Angeles in- stitution, and was being “rushed” for @ sorority. Two sorority. sisters, in her presence, fell to arguing about the movies. Sister No. 1 said it was im- Possible for an unknown individual to break into the movies. Sister No. 2 said it could be done. Virginia, listening, said she'd go and find out who was right. So she trotted off to Hollywood and regis- tered at the Central Casting Bureau, filmland’s clearing house for extra girls. Officials there liked her looks and put her in their lists, but for some months she heard nothing more from them. She decided the Central Casting Bureau was a washout, and went about making the rounds of the stud- jos. One after another passed her up. Then she turned up at the Paramount studio, and it was her lucky day. Assistants there were hunting frenziedly for society types to play in a cafe scene for the Moran and Mack film, “Why Bring That Up?” They Spotted Virginia, beckoned to her and | gave her a job—a tiny job that paid j her just seven dollars and 50 cents. | That was enough, though. When Paramount officials went over the “rushes” of the picture, they discov- dered a screen test. It turned out nicely and she was offered a contract. She figured a chance at stardom was better than a chance at a bachelor of arts degree, so she signed. Since then she has been coming along nicely. “We Tr She was given roles in oman 1p” and “The Love Par- ade,” and had a good part in “Slight- ly Scarlet,” the special co-starring Clive Brook and Evelyn Brent. Western Hettinger County Cattle Have . Little Tuberculosis New England, N.

D., Nov. 29.— County Agent Walter Sales some time ago purchased a $15 pedi- greed pup. At the samc time he Possessed a $15 fur cap of beauty and utility, with winter coming on, if in fact, it had not already arrived. Waker still has the $15 canine, which animal, however, is cursed with a strong imagination. The other night the dog made up a story, which he dramatized real- istically. It was all about a fight with a vicious muskrat. The pedigreed puppy won the battle as anyone viewing the remains of the county agent's cap will admit. “I felt like killing that dog, but I decided that on a county agent's salary I couldn't afford to lose $30,” Walt said as he dug around for a corduroy hunting “cap which will hang in many Hettinger county schoolhouses during winter farm meetings. Two Bismarck Men Suffer Injuries in Accident Near Selby Joe Warner and Nick Yockim, both of Bismarck, suffered injuries in an automobile accident near Selby, S. D., Nov. 19 which kept them in a hos- pital one week, it was learned upon | their return here this week. ‘Warner suffered gashes on his chin and forehead, near his left eye, and the tendon of the thumb on his right | hand was severed. Yockim received a deep forehead gash. The two men were making an auto- | mobile trip to Bowdle, S. D., when the accident occurred. Because of dim lights, Warner, the driver, was unable to detect a turn seven miles north of Selby. The car went off the grade and into a ditch six feet deep, but did not turn over. Both men were thrown into the windshield and the steering wheel. After walking three miles, the men received aid from a farmer, who took them to the hospital in Selby, where they remained until Wednesday.

No Other Hope for Bettering Fatm Outlook i | | i i By REX E. WILLARD Farm Economist, North Dakota & cultural College. i The past month has seen no very | definite indication of improvement in the industrial situation. Further slumps in the stock market lately have tended to add to the depressed mental attitude, although * leading linanciers appear to believe that very | much further decline is not to be ex- pected. On the other hand, industry is ad-} Justing itself to the new set of condi- | tions and production costs are being j lowered. This favors agriculture, be- | cause it means that the level of in- | dustrial prices in the future is likely to be somewhat lower than it has been in the past. There is little to in- dicate expectation of increased for- | eign or domestic demand for Ameri- can farm products for the remainder of this year. Turkey Market The average price paid for No. 1! ri | cents, which was lower than expect- ed earlier in the season. The liberal supply of turkeys and the business de- pression and unemployment situation | in the eastern cities, where a large part of the turkey crop is consumed, were largely responsible for the iow | Price. | United States department of agri- culture estimates there are 3 per cent fewer turkeys in the country than iast mated at 12 per cent fewer, but this is offset by an increase in the east central states. Turkey prices for the December and January market are usually higher than the October and November prices. For the past 10 years, the December 15 price averaged 3.7 cents higher than the October 15 15 price. It would appear that birds below No. 1 quality at the time of the Christmas kill should be held over and marketed as soon as they reach No. 1 quality. In 1927, the drop be- ; tween December and January was 4 cents. This drop, however, was the greatest of any year between 1921- 1929. With normal price trends and the increased value of turkeys due to a No. 1 grade compared to" No. 3 an added feed cost of 30 cents nor- mally would add about $1.90 per bird if they were increased from 10 pounds at the present time to 14 pounds for jthe Christmas = Flaxseed prices have tended down- ward during the past month, but there has been a little recovery from the low point reached November 12, Littla improvement is likely in the |near future, as the amount of build- ling activity has been declining for several months. Prospects indicate a world crop about 20 per cent larger than last year. Grain. 1 ‘Wheat exports have been on a high- ler level than those of a year ago at greately reduced prices. Canadian {and Russian supplies of wheat have ‘been the dominant depressing factors. Prospects for next year's wheat crop | are that supplies will be fully as large as they were this year so fay as pres- | ent indications can be considered. i logs Hog prices followed somewhat the | seasonal trend, but if the demand side of the market is no weaker than | at present, the indications are that in | late December and January and Feb- i ‘ruary, an upward trend of prices may | be expected. Present cold storage sup- | | plies are very low. | Butter | Creamery butter produced in the} United States for September and | { October was slightly greater than a/ | year ago, and the movement into consumptive channels was less. Be- cause of this situation, and the tend- |ency of dealers to move butter out of storage, the usual seasonal rise in butter prices was prevented. | | { Eggs The price of high quality eggs is making nearly the usual seasonal ad- | vance, but comparatively large cold storage holdings are preventing a rise in the prices of poorer qualities.

Both men and women attended the ses- sions, at which Mr. Hamilton ex- plained the various systems adapted to different farm conditions and dis- cussed the cost and methods of in-. stallation.

Things We Have Discovered in House Heating That not one person out of ten knows how much fuel he burns in a heating sea- son and that guesses will vary from 25 to 50 per cent. That to get the same volume and con- tinuity of heat as is given by natural gas service under thermostatic control, if it were possible to get it with other fuels, from 25 to 50 per cent more fuel would be eonsumed. In other words if you will arise at 6:00 o’clock each morning to fix the fire to have the temperature of the house up to 72 degrees by breakfast and maintain it all day at that temperature, from 25 to 50 per cent more fuel would be consumed than with ordinary operation varying from 15 to 25 degrees, depend- ing on the conditions of the fire. That the only comparison of heating costs between natural gas and other fuels is for the entire heating season which if natural gas is used will be a longer one as the average man is too lazy to be building a fire each morning in the spring and fall off the house. just to take the chill Montana- Dakota Power Co. south, Butler Construction company, Grand Forks, $12,421.69.
