| } i | THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1931 z NORTHWEST'S FARM INCOME RECOVERED DURING LAST MONTH Decrease Was Smaller Than it Was in October, 1930, Reserve Bank Says | Minneapolis, Nov. 30.—(#)—Farm income in the northwest recovered Somewhat in October from the low levels of August and September, says the monthly review issued by the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapo-| lis Monday. The review states that usually the, peak of farm income is reached in|P either August or September, and there is a sharp decrease in October as the grain marketing movement de-| ! H clines. “This year,” the report continues,| “farm income in October was larger than in either of the two preceding|\ As a result, the reduction] } months. in farm income as compared with October last year was 40 per cent, whereas the reduction in September ; from last year's total was 59 per cent, and the ‘reduction in August was 61 per cent. All of the estimated items of farm income showed smaller totals in October this year than in October a year ago.” Wheat Close Important The most important single factor in the moderate improvement in farm|sw income in the annual comparisons was the close of the active wheat marketing season. The wheat crop failure of 1931 reduced marketings to, very small figures, the review added. Wheat marketings from the north- west in August of this year totaled 6,613,000 bushels, in September 10,- 443,000 bushels, and in October 8,781,- 000 bushels, while a year ago, the August figures were 33,972,000, Sep- tember 36,492,000, and October 15,- 190,000. “It will be seen,” the review says,| so “that wheat marketings in August and September made a very poor showing compared with marketings in those months a year ago, whereas the comparison in October was not nearly so unfavorable.” Lower Than Before War The available district business in- dexes in October were lower than in any previous October during the post-war period, according to the re- view. The western crop failure, low prices of agricultural products and general business depression were said to have their effect. The usual au- tumn increase in country bank de- posits was totally absent this year, the review says. The largest decrease in bank de- posits in the district occurred in the Dakctas, and the smallest decrease in the northern peninsula of Michi- gan. | —+/ (a oe EE | Atthe Movies | eine dina > CAPITOL THEATRE “Pagan Lady”—she wanted to be wooed, not grabbed! She wanted to be cherished, not left! She suddenly found her adventurous life gone stale —a temptress, she had found the ‘woman who wants to be safe and pro- tected—who wants marriage! “Pagan Lady’—she is one of the! most fascinating and interesting temptresses lately screened. Her per- sonality is intriguing; her actions and reactions .keep you always guessing, and her story is dramatic from the moment you first see her behind the bar in a colorful Havana cafe, to the final scene when she is crushed in the big arms of her hard-boiled rum- runner. “Pagan Lady” is the Columbia pic- * ture now playing at the Capitol Thea- tre. Its cast is simply staggering— Evelyn Brent in the title role, Con- rad Nagel as a young and untried missionary with some sex inhibitions, Charles Bickford as the hard-boiled gent of the underworld who proves to have a soft spot, Roland Young as a delightfully droll doctor with some wise ideas about love and life, Wil- liam Farnum as. the hell-fire-and brimstone evangelist, Lucille Gleason as the proprietress of a cheap hotel, and Leslie Fenton, Gwen Lee and ‘Wallace MacDonald in minor but im- portant roles!

EXPECT SEAL SALE 10 SURPASS 1930 TOTAL About $470 Obtained on Open- ing Day, Complete Figures Are Not Yet Ready A favorable report for the two-day Christmas health seal drive conduct- ed in the downtown section of Bis- marck Friday and Saturday was given out Monday morning by Mrs. Fred Jansonius, general chairman for the Community Council, which is in charge of the sale. Approximately $470 was obtained on the opening day, Mrs. Jansonius said, while last year the first day's wale netted only $390. Complete fig- ures for the two days are not yet available, but it is expected that they will more than equal the figures for 1930. Sale of health bonds continues, the reports coming in slowly due to the fact that all organizations have not met since the apportionment of health bonds was made. Many groups have doubled their last year’s quota of bonds, redeemable in Christmas seals. The sale of seals will continue un- til Christmas with the work carried on by school children and through the downtown booths. Nurses from the St. Alexius and Bismarck hospitals who assisted with booths during the last two days were Gertrude Wanzek, Katherine Schlos- ser, Julia Quiggley, Virginia Fitterer, Borghilde Berg, Marvel Horner, Em- ma Schatz, Irene Engler, Stella Lund, and Edna Nordquist and Mrs. C.

Miss Gledhill, said to be a relative of Sir Robert Peel, husband of Bea- trice Lillie, the actress, has been kept alive since Sunday morning by oxy- gen. Before she lapsed into unconscious- ness, physicians sought to learn from her what she had ‘taken and if she had attempted to kill herself. Her answer was: “Try and find out.” Miss Gledhill became ill after two men, representing themselves as im- migration officers, appeared at the house where she has been living with Mrs. William Corner. Miss Gledhill went to her room. There was a scream and the sound of her body as she fell. An investigation brought from Mrs. Corner a story that Miss Gledhill was the mother of a two-year-old boy. Mrs. Corner said her husband, who now is serving a prison sentence for forgery, had confessed to her that he was the boy’s father. When Corner was sent to prison, Mrs. Corner took the mother and child into her own home. “T felt,” she said, “that it was my Christian duty.” Under immigration laws Miss Gled- hill could not take her child back to Canada if she were deported. This explanation was advanced as a possi- ble motive by authorities who believed she had attempted suicide. Miss Gledhill is 26 years old and an attractive brunette. | Mandan News TO HOLD COURSE IN SCOUT LEADERSHIP Training Work to Be Stressed at Meeting to Be Held Each Week > | oo Officials Seek to Unravel Tan-| yun for $6.50 led authorities to become|the work and that charitable and suspicious of Murphy. civic organizations in the city would be called on to aid in the project. ‘The following members of the com- eS Takes Exception to || mittee formulated plans to carry on | the work: Mrs. H.

Finding no Policeman on ‘duty there at the time, he took himself off after unburdening himself as to his opinion of police in general and Mandan police in particular. “In the old days if I stood on the street corner for five minutes, they picked me up,” Smith said, pointing to his tattered clothes. “I used to average about 10 days in jail for every pinch. Nowa- days they pick me up just long enough to show me the quickest way out of town.” “It’s the depression, I guess,” he ; said as he left the station mut- tering to himself discomfortably. He indicated that he was head- ed for sunnier and more hospit- able climes where authorities take vagrancy seriously.
