~ * REPORTED SPLITIN. | GRAINDEALER BODY | DENIED BY FARGOAN Ernest Mares, One of Qldest Men in Organization, Tells of Harmony in Group Fargo, N. D., Feb,. 9.—(4}—Declar~ {ng the meeting of the North Dakota Farmers’ Grain Dealers’ association last week at Minot was one of the most harmonious in the history of that organization, Ernest Mares: and R. F. Gunkelman, Fargo members who attended, took exception to a statement attributed to H. R. White, White “pur, to the effect that a split in the organization 18 pending. Mr. Mares is one of the oldest members of the organization, both in years and in point of service and was named to the executive committee. and also was chairman of the resolu- tions committee at Minot. “The prominence given to Mr: White's statement certainly does the Farmers’ Grain Dealers’ association an injustice before the people of the state,” said Mr. Mares. “Mr. White ls not an officer in the association, bas never taken a prominent place in its deliberations, and to my per- sonal knowledge has never appeared on the floor of the convention to voice any sentiment as to’ its policy or actions. “It happened, this year, that terms of all the members of the board of directors and officers, who are af- filiated with the grain marketing “setsups,” expired and they were not candidates for re-election. 5 “To say that they refused to con- kider renomination or to serve fur- ther, thus inferring that there was an ‘open break between two factions within the organization, is I am sure, leaving a very false impression of the true situation.” CONDITIONS SPOTTY SAYS DUN'S REVIEW Business Agency Sees Encour- agement in Interest Caused by Spring Merchandise The weekly business review by ‘Dun’s agency says in part: ence, which is to gain « broader vision North Social Work, urged a more thorough survey of each situation before! remedial work is begun. Mr. Bond gave his annual Address at the open- ing session of the two-day conference for social workers which began Mon- day morning at the Masonic temple. them, Mr. Bond pointed out that the duty of legalised authority is to Further evidences of improvement are not lacking, the trend in whole- sale lines being helped by the great- er interest displayed for Spring mer- chandise. Road salesmen, however, do not find the response hoped for, a3 merchants are still in a cautious mood, seasonal requirements not only being subnormal, but tardy in de- veloping. Some irregularity, arising from im- paired purchasing power in many. sections, is obscuring to some extent the’ effects of the advancement that is being made slowly. The building trade aparenity has still some period of readjustment ahead, and weak spots in some of the basic industries make the outlook not altogether clear. The world oversupply of grains Keeps prices in those markets un- steady, hampering trade in most agri- cultural digtricts. Z Industry is holding some of the gains made after the turn of the year; notably in the automobile trade, and in-some branches of steel and in textile Jines. é Production in other essential divi- sions is increasing only moderately. In the steel industries, there are still ‘a variety of orders, but the is slow. A. good sign is the broaden- ing for machine tools snd some other appliances that should help the metal trades. The expected improvement in the volume of the dry goods movement is continuing and is being quickened as the effects of small inventories and low prices become better ‘While there is still a noticeable fluc- tuation of raw material prices, tendency to decline heretofore s0 has been checked and movements upward in other sections, they offer encouragement for the fu- ture, as confirming thé belief that merchandise liquidation has gone far and must’ be followed by. replenish- ments that will be purchased care- fully. n Merchants are finding -less comfort ‘rules, more encouraged by de! many of them developing from intel- ligent sales effort, and constant en- deavor to restore business in their own particular fields.

UPHELD BY JUDGE ee Haele ee, | Railroad Is Opposed to Payment! of $2,000,000 Claim Filed by Government St. Paul, Feb. 9.—(#)— Federal Tidse John B. Sanborn Monday up- held the Great Northern railway in claim of $2,000,000 filed against it by the government as a result of the wartime operation of the road by the railroad administration. ‘The government, which. paid the road $12,500,000 in 1921, sought re- payment of $1,300,000 and $700,000 in- terest after the interstate commerce cqmmission ruled the road should have received $11,200,000. The road, however, claimed it should have re- ceived approximately $15,000,000, and refused the repayment. In its demurrer to the suit, the rail- road contended the interstate com- the prices of bread and flour. Then} merce commission was not acting legally ini its attemnt to obtain return of the money: This contention was upheld by Judge Sanborn. Several years ago the government won a sim- ilar case against the road involving $1,250,000. To be jilted is an experience in tragedy which occurs to but few women, yet Mary Todd was jilted, | and by no less a person than, Abra- ham Lincoln. This peculiar phase of Lincoln's character, when he was so frightened family in the West, is revealed in D. W. Griffith's United Artists produc- tion, “Abraham Lincoln,” which is scheduled to open at the Capitol theatre tonight. Innumerable psychologists and friendly biographers have tried to ex- cuse Lincoln's behavior with conflict- ing theories. Some believe that the future ptesident, who was shy and highly sensitive, was a victim of i nerves on the night of the wedding and as a further development of that condition became temporarily de- ranged. It is known that he wan- dered the woods abstractedly for days. | Others contend that the memory of j his boyhood love for Ann Rutledge proved so strong that it conquered his reasoning mind and thus caused him to jilt Mary Todd.
