WCORMICK HONORED _, AY VOCAL BANQUET Inventor of Reaper Eulogized at * Dinner Monday Night; 185 in Attendance ’ , Approximately 185 members .of the Int Harvester company E «= family and their guests participated anniversary cay rs real by Cyrus H. McOo 4 . founder’ of the company and one of the great inventors and industrial *\ leaders of Ametica. . Similar celebrations either have heen held or will be held soon in oth- er places in America and throughout the world, J. C. Taylor, local man- ager for the company, told the as- semblage. Preceding the dinner, a motion picture depicting the invention and development of the reaper, from the first crude machine to the gigantic harvester-threshers of today was shown at the Capitol Theater. It told, more clearly than could do, the story of an American epig. ‘At the beginning were men reap- ing grain with the sickle, when it re- quired a day of hard work to cut an acre of wheat. At the end was a pic- ture showing a score of combines cutting wide swaths through a gi- gantic wheat field, In between were other pictures, showing the use of the cradle, the first rude reapers, lat- f er improvements in the shape of & geif-raking reaper and ‘wire and twine binders, and finally the trac- tor-drawn binder and the combine. Running through the picture was ‘ the story of how Cyrus H. McCor- ¥ mick, a Virginia youth of 22 years, y labored to perfect a machine which was to become the foundation of one - of America’s great family fortunes. McCormick, as an inventor and | : business leader, was eulogized at the dinner in the Patterson Hotel Ter- race Garden by Governor George F. Shafer, Chief Justice A. M. Christ- janson of the state supreme court and Congressman Thomas Hall. Each recalled their own experiences on the farm before machinery came into general use to lighten the bur- Gens of those who till the soil and increase the productiveness of the in- dividual. Governor Shafer said the reaper, as the forerunner of mechanized agriculture, had conferred great bless- ings on the human race at the same time that it created new problems. ‘The necessity that everything be done by hand labor, he said, kept the human race in constant want of food or in constant fear of want. Famine threatened continually, he asserted, and the development of civilization ‘was hampered. i In strong contrast to this picture, he said, is the present-day situation when mechanized agriculture makes ‘ possible greater production than the world can use. Judge Christianson, reviewing the life of Cyrus H. McCormick, pointed out that the commercial development of the reaper was an indirect result of an adversity which came upon the inventor. When he and his father went bankrupt in the iron and foun- dry business, Judge Christianson said, his creditors took everything except the reaper patent-and rejected that because they regarded it as worthless. Young McCormick, however, con- centrated upon developing it commer- cially and, because of constant im- provement and sound business man- agement, made it the basis of one of the world’s great businesses. The problems created by mechaniz- ed agriculture, Judge Christianson said, are problems of plenty rather than those of want and privation which faced the world a hundred years ago. He said the human race should find them easier of solution than the more pressing problems of a century back. Taylor, who presided at the ban- quet, summed up the progress of a century when he stated that 100 years ago it required approximately . 50 hours of human labor to reap and thresh an acre of grain. Now, with a harvester-thresher, jt requires only 45 minutes. Change Assignments To Polling Places) Members, of the city commission, meeting Tuesday morning, made e changes. in the assignment of indi- * viduals to duty at the pools at th city election Tuesday. : : Val Brown will take the place of E. D. Ditch as an election judge in the fourth ward; in the second pre- cinct of the first ward, W. A. Falcon- er was substituted for J. N. Roherty as an inspector and N. B, Fitch was named to take Falconer’s place as a judge; in the third precinct of the first ward, G. R. Thompson was ap- Pointed to substitute for L. A. Baker as a judge. ‘The changes were made necessary, according to City Auditor M. H. At- kinson, by reason of the fact that some of the men previously appoin' ed will be out of the city on election day. The city engineer was directed to prepare specifications and advertise- ments for bids on concrete work to be done by the city during the sum- mer. This contract covers sidewalks, curb and gutter and crosswalks in- stalled by the city and charged against property owners as taxes. McIntosh County Man Sees Better Business; Max Wishek of Ashley, state's at- torney of McIntosh county, was & business -visitor -in Bismarck Tuesday and a cheerful one. ‘Things are “looking up” in the southern part of the state, Wishek said, and the coming of spring has brought renewed optimism to the farmers in the area. Low farm prices have “had their ‘effect there as well as elsewhere, Wishek said, but Mc- of the banner dairy sections ‘of North| Dakota is feeling more optimistic preparing to forge ahead, he asserted, Se ETP BYE eT “RE OER atin | Additional Markets | > POLIS MINNEA!

Smith, Eau Claire. ‘ The complaints will be issued against the Byllesby Engineering and Management corporation, the North- ern States Power company, -William J. Hagenah, counsel and vice presi- dent of the Byllesby corporation. Paul H. Rathle, Chippewa Faljs, and Ethan B. Minier, New Richmond. ‘The latter two are former assembly- men, violated at least the spirit of the lob- by law and should be prosecuted,” the attorney general said. The attorney general’s action was the first step taken since the senate recommended prosecution of the per- sons believed guilty of attempting a bribe. A special senate committee in- vestigated charges by Governur Phil- ip La Follette that an attempt had been made to bribe Senator Smith in connection with his vote on public utility bills. fe Homer Vincent, a farmer of Letts, Towa,..has..attended the Iowa State college short. course every year for the past 30 years.

Jocelyn Lee Brought Too Much Action Into His Life Los Angeles, March 31—(@)—T married life of Luther Reed, film di> rector, and Jocelyn Lee, redhaired ac- | tress, contained too much action even . | for a movie director. Reed's began to: unfold on the witness stand Monday in support of his divorce petition. Miss Lee served notice she ‘would match her husband's story with a tale of violence on his part. Miss Lee’ posed: for pictures ‘with one finger pointing to a spot on her jaw where she claims Reed's fist landed. She also said he threatened her with a gut. While Reed described tempestuous happenings. of their wedded life, in- making a plea for custody of their two childref” prominent film wit- nesses waited outside the courtroom. The director said Miss ‘Lee's most sen- sational outburst came at Agua Caliente while they were playing blackjack with Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey, screen comedians, Gnd Edwin Carewe, a director. “She demanded money,” Reed tes- tified, “and when I gave her half of what I had, she called me a cheap something or other. ‘You got plenty to lend these blankety-blank actors,’ she told me, “but you cheap dog, you can’t give your wife any. She threw ft handful of silver dollars in my face.” «Miss Lee then- became more vio- lent, Reed testified, until finally they were ordered to leave the hotel. Reed said Miss Lee once lost the bid while they were playing bridge in a San Francisco hotel, and threw an ash tray at him. Reed claims they have but $2,500 community property.

WATSON EXPRESSES OPPOSITION 10 ANY INCREASE IN TAXES Republican Leader Makes An- nouncement After Confer- ence With Hoover Washington, Merch 31.—(7)—Sena- tor Watson expressed unalterable op- Position to an increase in taxes or a federal bond issue to meet the trea- sury deficit after a breakfast confer- ence Tuesday with President Hoover at the white house. ‘The Indianan, Republican leader of the senate, did not obtain the presi- dent’s views on the federal financial situation but disclosed his own to the executive in an hour and a half talk which embraced a field of political and governmental problems. The two agreed there was no need for an extra session of congress to deal with unemployment and farm relief, and that an armistice in po- Iitical debate would permit a more rapid economic rehabilitation. The chairmanship of the Republi- can national committee also was dis- cussed, but it was agreed, Watson said, that “there is no great rush about reorganization of the commit- tee” now headed by Senator Fess of Ohio. “Our thought was,” the senator said, “to let the country rest from politics, go ahead and attend to bus- iness and rehabilitate ourselves free from the clamor of politics.” The Republican leader said he would confer with Secretary Mellon in a few days on the financial pro- blems facing the government. “Too many people are paying too much attention to the stock market,” he said. “As a result the business ‘world instead of keeping step to the music of the union is keeping step to the click of the ticker.” The farm board situation also was discussed as was the legislative sit- uation in a general way. Senator Watson laid before the president the request of a group of private’ organizations for an extra Session of congress by May 1. He said, however, the executive “has no notion about calling an extra ses- sion.” Have your reed and porch fer- niture re-ducoed at the MAIN AVENUE BODY WORKS Phone 38 or 669 215 Main Ave. Estimates Free CHILD WELRARE IS SUBJECT OF TALK Dr. ©. C. Carstens, New York City, Talks on Subject at Kiwanis Meeting ‘The welfare of thé next generation rather than sentiment is the basis for the child welfare program promoted by the recent white house conference and now being disseminated through- out America, Dr. C. C. Carstens, sec- retary of the Child Welfare League of America, New York city, told mem- bers of the Kiwanis club Tuesday. Reviewing the history of the various white house conferences, Dr. Carstens said the first was held in 1909 and caused the movement for mothers’ aid which swept the country to such an extent that only four states now lack such laws. By making provision for keeping children with their dependent mothers, he said, it revolutionized the system of child care in the country. In New York alone, he said, it resulted in closing six big institutions which previously had housed 8,000 children. The second conference, in 1919, brought to the front the question of maternal care. This situation, the speaker asserted, is a disgrace to America because this country, with all its wealth and medical resources, has failed to make adequate provision for the mothers of the land during their Period of expectancy. The recent conferenee, he said, em- phasized the need of giving all chil- dren such opportunities as will enable them to become assets rather than liabilities to the community. Approxi- mately 10 million of the 45 million children in the country lack oppor- tunity because they are dependent, delinquent or defective, the speaker said. To cure these handicaps, he said, offers a form of insurance, not only for the happiness and usefulness of the individual, but for the social, commercial and industrial future of the nation. The most pressing need, as empha- sized at the recent conference, he said, is for adequate work among the rural children of the country. The cities are generally well organized and have made some provision for such service, but the country child is somewhat isolated and receives little attention from social welfare agencies, even though the number of such chil- dren runs into high figures. In order to meet this situation the speaker recommended organization of welfare services on a county-wide 200 Merchants Will Attend N. D. Meeting , N.
