. HEAD OF FARMERS UNION RAPS HOOVER Refers to President as ‘Great Stationary Engineer in White House’ Des Moines, Ia., Nov. 18.—(?)—Tak- ing ite cue from John A. Simpson president, the National Farmers’ Union turned to the serious business of drafting a legislative policy Wed- nesday. Simpson blamed the present admin- istration for present economic condi- , tions in an address at the opening session Tuesday. Attacking Presidetn Hoover, Simp- | son referred to him as “the great sta- tonary engineer in the white house” who permits the farmers “to produce bread and butter at prices that are below cost and when we have six to seven million men unemployed.” A resolutions committee was at) work ‘Wetnesday and expected to! have its report ready by evening, C. ©. Hyde of Oklahoma, its chairman, said. | The National Union has a member- ship of 92,990, Harry C. Parmenter of Nebraska, member of the credentials committee, reported. Oklahoma leads | with 20,511 members and Nebraska is; second with 19,080. | Congressman Louis T. McFadden of | Pennsylvania, who addressed the con- vention Tuesday, blamed control of international finances for present) economic difficulties. { He charged the federal reserve sys- | tem is more concerned with financing | “big business” and Europe than indi- | viduals. Rather than for such lines | ‘of endeavor, the federal reserve sys-| tem was planned to provide funds for all banks and to tide over business in ‘times of distress. “Ts it fair.” he asked, “that our for- eign competitors be financed at the federal reserve’s cheap rate of inter- est?” Representative McFadden, chair- | man of the house banking and cur- rency committee, traced present con- ditions from the period of inflation | shortly after the war. Responding to a demand for in- creased production, factories were able to dispose of their surplus abroad, Representative McFadden said. Farmers, however, could not; control markets and were caught in| @ period of drastic deflation. RUSSELL BROTHERS | WILL FACE CHARGES Former Local Hotel Man Accus- chester, Minn. Wabasha, Minn., Nov. 18.—(?}—In-| dictment of two brothers, Barton and Stewart Russell of Rochester, on charges of first-degree robbery will be sought by Alfred A. Burkhardt, Wabasha county attorney, when the grand jury meets here next Monday. The Russells, arrested at Rochester when they walked into police head- quarters there to report an automo- bile accident, were identified by Nich- clas and Henry Hartz, wealthy Mazep- pa farmers, as the pair which robbed their safe of $1,000 after they tied them and their 170-year-old-sister, Maggie, with heavy rope and a chain. The two posed as land buyers. Barton Russell was manager of a hotel in Bismarck until the summer of 1930. Stewart Russell at one time lived in Mott. A $$ ____________—. | AT THE MOVJES SS aaa CAPITOL THEATRE Enthusiasm and.curses are present in almost equal parts in Ann Hard- ing’s attitude toward “Devotion,” the + picture in which she is now being; starred by RKO Pathe, and which is coming to the Capitol Theatre, show- ing today and Thursday. The enthusiasm is caused by the story, which the blonde star heartily approves. In fact, it was Upon Miss Harding's own urging that RKO Pathe executives became interested in “A Little Flat in the Temple,” the novel by Pamela Wynne on which it is based. The whimsical comedy and Barriesque lightness of the story ap- pealed so thoroughly to Ann that she felt she could Bet. we happy until she “ had brought it e screen. Heady every rose has its prickly addenda. The thorn in this case, ac- cording to Miss Harding, is the fact that the picture was made in the midst of one of California's hottest spells of unusual weather. Since she represents a young gitl masquerading as a middle-aged nurse, to be near the man she loves, Miss Harding was obliged to wear heavy garments of bombazine and serge dur- ing a certain portion of the story. Her feet were encased in the heaviest of “sensible” brogues. —————— PARAMOUNT THEATRE Both former boxers, Hardie Al- bright as an amateur in college, and Stanley Fields, a professional for many yeags, furnish one of the most, realistic rough-and-tumble fights ever transferred to the screen in “Skyline. the Fox picture coming to the Para- me gery ee on an old The battle eS river barge of which Fields is captain ‘and on which Albright has been reared, when the boy learns that the captain is not his father and decides to leave the barge and satisfy his urge to work on a skyscraper.

The drive was directed northward toward Anganchi and Tsitsihar, Gen- eral Mah’s headquarters. It followed reports of an earlier attack by Gen- eral Mah against the Japanese forces, north of Tahsing. The entire strength of the Japan- ese Nonni river force, quietly rein- forced during the last few days until it numbered possibly 4,000 men, was thrown against General Mah’s army. Following the announcement that the attack was launched, no further: details were immediately available because of frequent interruptions of communication. General Mah’s army was sald to have begun its attack at 3 a. m. with @ burst of artillery fire and Jiro) Tamno, Japanese commander, was re- ported to have ordered a counter-at- tack.

Nichols declared this was a mate-, rial charge and that fees exacted by the union constituted a commiaston| on loans made by the government to, farmers, Davis objected to the statement: that the loang involved entirely gov-| ernment money, asserting that the} loans were made by the intermediate credit banks. He said farmers lost no money in the transactions and. that the charge was a proper service fee. i Nichols movéd that the plea of in- tervention presented by Davis Tues-| day be stricken, He specified the, charges in the plea made by Davis that the entire proceeding was a “plot on the part of the Minneapolis) chamber of commerce, the Duluth board of trade and other private grain gamblers to injure the Farm- ers Union Terminal association and) the whole cooperative movement” as “libelous and scurrilous.” He snid the entire proceeding was brought: in| goed faith. . Davis objected. “I can prove, and will prove, that this whole thing originated with the Minneapolis chamber of commerce and others,” Davis shouted.

Morton Hunters Are Bringing Down Deer Although it has not been possible to determine how many Mandan hunters were successful in their at- tempts to bring down @ deer during the current open season, the number of animals seen strapped to fenders of automobiles would indicate that many of them obtained trophies.
