While both the president and the farm board refused to interre"S with the millers and bakers who held the price of bread in the United States up to 10 cents per pound. Fin- ally, the United States senate acted teering and the price of bread has since been materially decreased and @ very much larger consumption of wheat has ensued from that source. Strange as .t may seem, in all of our recent “prosperity,” the _con- States steadily declined until it reach- ed less than five bushels per capita with bread at 10 cents per pound. Had the farm board devoted its at- tention to the selling of wheat in the form of bread to the people of the United States until we reached the average. consumption of European countries, we would have a shortage of wheat in this country instead of a surplus. This can readily be seen by considering the following figures: Our wheat production is less than 900 ‘million bushels; 7 1-2 bushels for 122 million persons is 915 million bushels, plus 75 million bushels for From these figures it is plainly evi-. | LEADING LAWYERS 70 ADDRESS CONVENTION Men Prominent in State and National Legal Circles to Talk at Jamestown Jamestown, N.

Illness Is Fatal To Linton Woman Mrs. Clara Glatt, 67, a resident of Emmons and McIntosh counties for the last 44 years, died in Bismarck carly Monday, three days after hav- ing been brought here for medical treatment. Born in the south of Russia June 14, 1864, Mrs. Glatt came to Amer- ica in 1887. Since that time she had lived in North Dakota continuously and for the last 11 years had made her home in Linton. She leaves 10 children as well as a number of other relatives living in Emmons and McIntosh counties. Two sisters, a son and a daughter were with her when the end came, Funeral services will be held at St. John’s church near Zeeland at 9:30 a. m. Wednesday. Mrs. Glatt will be buried at the side of her hus- band in the church cemetery. es alas if At the Movies PARAMOUNT THEATRE Marie Dressler gets the votes. In her new picture, “Politics,” she gets them for mayor of the town. And at the Paramount Theatre, where the picture is showing, she gets them as one of the most popular stars of the year. Incidentally, the new Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer producetion is her first as a full-fledged star, for her Past successes promoted her to star- dom. “Politics” sees her as a candidate for office with Polly Moran as her campaign manager. She routs the racketeers and cleans up corrupt con- ditions in the city hall. There are hundreds of laughs and, incidentally, dramatic sequences where she con- tributes some of the amazing char- acter work that astounded her fans in “Anna Christie” and “Min and Bill.” Charles F. Riesner, who directed “Caught Short” and “Reducing” can register another hit with this picture. A notable cast appears in support of the new star. Aside from Polly Moran—who, of course, is chief team- | Regains Glider Record for U.

Dix’s new role, that of a New York East Side gangster of a decade ago, pro- vides a perfect characterization for this ever-popular and decidedly tal- ented screen favorite. Jackie Cooper, loveable child actor and seven-year-old star of “Skippy,” shares honors with Dix. Jackie con- tributes a gem of a performance, one which shapes up, in the opinion of this reviewer, as the most remarkable screen work ever done by a juvenile. This boy certainly is destined to be- come an outstanding fan favorite fol- lowing hi role in this production. “Young Donovan's Kid” is Radio Pictures’ adaptation of Rex Beach's Popular novel “Big Brother.” Dix, as Jim Donovan, monarch of a New York gang, is forced through the death of a pal to take over the rear- ing of a young boy. Out of this as- Sociation comes a great lové and de- sire to send the boy straight. But his every move for good is misinterpreted and he is hurled into a maelstrom of trouble which tears the boy from his arms. The climax in which the boy is restored to him is one of the most dramatic situations ever transferred to celluloid. Would Have Congress Cut Cotton Acreage! Columbia, 8 C., Aug i7—@)—An | act by congress to regulate the cotton acreage in 1932 was proposed Monday by Representative Hampton P.

In a letter to the federal farm board, Representative Fulmer sug- gested it take over the present crop and sign up farmers “not to plant any cotton in 1932.” prisoners and lynch them before the law could have its way.

Transamerican Airlines Cerpora- tion, sponsor of the Cramer flight, is backing the second attempt to blaze an air mail and express route over the Greenland and Iceland caps to Copenhagen, which was Cramer's destination. Co-pilots on the project- ed flight will be Edwin L. Preston and Robert H. Collignon. The pilots now are testing the plane and are expected to take off before Sept. 1. If tests prove successful, the com-| pany expects to start service on al monthly schedule. CRASH KILLS THREE NOTION BY STATES UNDER ADVISEMENT Larkin Reports to Railroad Board on Status of Rate Case at Washington The Interstate Commerce commis- sion has taken under advisement a motion submitted by the North Da- kota and five other state commissions to dismiss the petition of the nation’s railroads for a 15-per-cent increase in freight rates according to word re- ceived here Monday from Ben Larkin, president of the state commission, and E. M. Hendricks, traffic expert, who are in Washington, Commission representatives from South Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, Kan- sas, Nebraska, and North Dakota joined in the motion. The motion is based on the allega- tion that there is no warrant in law empowering the Interstate Commerce commission to increase rates because jof financial emergencies alone; that the carriers have failed to show that {the rates which would be produced by a 15-per cent increase would be just and reasonable; that they have failed to show that traffic will be able to move under the advance sought. In th? alternative, should the com- mission not grant the motion, the six States asked that the carriers’ appli- cation be denied insofar as it seeks to increase rates which have already been prescribed by the commission in the rate structure investigation con- ducted pursuant to the Hoch-Smith resolution. Larkin and Hendricks have been in Washington attending hearings before the Interstate Commerce commission. i {INLAND STEELMEN | CHARGE DISCRIMINATION Weshington Aug. 17.—(/P)—Testi- mony that increased freight rates on iron ore “would be rank discrimina- tion” in favor of the United States Steel corporation and furnaces on the Great Lakes over inland producers was presented to the Interstate Com- merce commission Monday by the Jones and Laughlin Steel corporation of Pittsburgh.
