It wasn't serious—just a dif- ference over whether they should hold more regimental reunions, like the one they alone attend- ed Tuesday. Wiry Charles M. Lockwood, 89, last man of the famous Last Man’s club of Company B, was left a bit sad and shaking his head, but he said he'd be here again next year if Newton Brown of Company H would show up. And Brown, also 89, who re- cently came from Washtucna, Wash., for the annual regimen- tal reunion at the L. B. Bassett On Question of Holding More Reunions | home here, Have Little Tiff said he certainly | would be here for the big day | that annually precedes the last man's observance at Stillwater, Minn. The latter takes place Thursday. Lockwood wanted to make this the last one. But Brown said, “No, sir. I came way out here from Washington, Charlie, and I'm going to hang around for a couple of years to get in on these reunions. I made that trip and it took three days and three nights.” Lockwood, visiting in Minneap- olis since he came from his | Chamberlain, 8. D., home last | week, said he would come back | again. | So they parted with a hand- clasp and a warm “I'll see you next year.” and Joe Slusariack, 24, a “dynamite man,” also from La Salle. Fisher said the water was “so muddy and the wreckage so terribly tangled” that he was unable to find other bodies than the two which lay at his feet when he reached the river bottom. Bodies of four others were believed to lie nearby. These five were the only members of the crew of 16 un- accountd for. The explosion occurred as the America was preparing to blast rock from the American channel near Chippewa Bay, a few miles from here and less than 10 miles from Brock- ville, Ont., where a Canadian drill boat blew up in 1930 with the loss of 31 lives. Lightning struck the Canadian boat, but it was not known what caused the explosion underneath the America. Most of the missing and injured were from the vicinity of Alexandria Bay. Those missing today were: Arnold Freeman, 25, driller on No. 3 drill which had just packed the dynamite; Jimmy Priestly, 27, doing his first day's work as helper; Wil- liam Aikin, Sr. 44, and Willard Chase, 22, blacksmith’s helper. All were from Alexandria Bay. The injured included U. S. Inspec- tor Carna, believed to be from Wash- ington, D. C., who was inspecting |the work for the federal government. AERIAL EXPRESS IS PLANNED FOR NATION Seven Lines to Cooperate With Telegraph Firm in Country- Wide Hookup New York, July 20.—(#)—The coun- try’s first nation-wide air express system, making it possible to send an express parcel from San Francisco to New York in 23 hours, was announced Wednesday by General George 8S. Gibbs, president of the Postal Tele- graph-Cable Co. He announced the system after a conference with repre- sentatives of seven leading airlanes. The Postal Telegraph system, he said, will perform a door-to-door de- livery pick-up and delivery service at 6]each of 138 points to be linked in the 00) network. A uniform waybill, per- mitting free exchange of merchandis- ing from one airline to another, will ,|be used for the first time in America’s aivation history. General Gibbs said the service will be inaugurated August 1 by what will be known as the General Air Express, the interline system of which T. Park Hay of Transcontinental and Western Air, Inc., will be chairman, Northwest Airways, Inc., while not among the seven airlines starting this service, later is expected to extend the system to Canada. Rates for express shipments will be about six times those of railroad ex- press shipments, Gibbs said. Pack- ages will be limited to 200 pounds. OPERATING EXPENSES Washington.—The U. 8.

WORKERS USE GUNS INBATTLE FOR JOBS One Man Is Killed, More Than a Score Wounded, in Illi- nois Rioting Marseilles, Ill, July 20—)—A battle for jobs with guns and fists in which one man was killed and more than a score wounded resulted in placing a heavy guard Wednesday over the government dam, under construction here. The half hour of sharp fighting Tuesday began when unemployed Il- linois union members entered Mar- seilles to protest employment of out- of-state nonunion laborers on the state waterway project. Steve Sutton of Joliet, Ill., a lead- er of the unionists, was fatally shot and officers held Dwight Wallace of New Orleans, La., as his assailant. The battle broke when workers charged from behind their barbed wire barricade to rescue their super- intendent, Herbert W. Miller, from a beating at the hands of the invaders. Representatives of the law, with 128 alleged participants in the riot- ing in jail at Ottawa, feared more trouble. All night angry wives of the nonunion workers, mostly from Loui- siana, kept vigil outside the La Salle county jail there, spurning orders from the construction companies, which employed their husbands, to leave town. They picketed the place | awaiting outcome of the inquest into the slaying. Another worker, Harold Staples, A tryout for the movies was offer- ed to Bismarck girls Wednesday by Robert L. Nippert, manager of the Paramount theater. Paramount is conducting a nation- wide search for a young woman to take the leading role of Panther woman in its forthcoming screen production of H. G.

In this search, one girl from each of the cities entering the contest will be given a screen test, which in turn will be entered in the national com- petition for the Panther woman con- tract. Entrants must be between 17 and 30 years of age. Paramount studios offer to the winner a five-week con- tract at $200 a week, transportation to Hollywood, and free accommoda- tions at the Hotel Ambassador, Bismarck’s candidate for the cov- eted role will be selected by a Screen Opportunity Contest at the Para- mount here. Eligibility rules and official entry blanks will be published Thursday, Nippert said. Contestants must fill in completely the entrance forms and submit them with their photographs to the Paramount manager not later than 6 p. m. July 30. A number of these contestants then will be chosen by a committee of judges to appear in the semi-finals, Motion pictures of the girls will be taken at the Paramount and shown on the screen for the judges final decision. The winner then will go to Min- neapolis, with all expenses paid, for a talking screen test which will be forwarded to the Paramount Studios at Hollywood for the final decision of the national judges. At Hollywood the screen test will be placed in competition with screen tests of other girls from throughout the country.

SILO CONSTRUCTION MAY SET UP YEARLY RECORD FOR STATE Central and Northern Seconds Are Making Most Headway, G.N. D. A. Says Fargo, N. D., July 20.—Silo con- struction in North Dakota this spring and summer probably will set a new record for any one year, judging from reports reaching the Greater North Dakota association from its field workers on the silo campaigns. The central and northern sections of North Dakota are making the most headway in the construction pro- gram, with many towns reporting Several dozen new trench and pit silos within their own territories. Gordon W. Randlett, special live- stock field man for the association, is in charge of the present series of silo meetings which is being carred on in northwestern North Dakota. The abundant feed crop which is being harvested in the state this year is more than enough for current needs, and foreminded farmers are eager to conserve that part which otherwise would be wasted. Stock farms in North Dakota which always have a feed reserve in the form of silage will enter any future drought years with sufficient feed to safe- guard against forced shipping of thin anim: Randlett reports that trench and pit silos are proving the most pop- ular, because of the fact that farm- ers are constructing these with their own labor, and just a few dollar's outlay for material. A few actually Rise Three to Five Cents a Pound After Bakery Uses Butter for Shortening Price of butterfat in the Bismarck area has risen from three to five cents a pound since the Bismarck Baking company began using only butter for shortening, according to John A. Hoffman, secretary-manager of the bakery. “There's one sure way to raise the price of butter,” Hoffman said. “That is to increase ‘the demand.” The Bismarck Baking company’s “Wonder Loaf” is made with pure unsalted creamery butter, milk, and | North Dakota-milled flour. { Use of butter only as a shortening for its bread was inaugurated by the! local bakery a short time ago in an| effort to increase the farmers’ in-| come from butterfat as well as its own business volume by putting out a better product. In a letter at that time, Hoffman said, “When you ask for the Wonder Loaf or other loaves of our make you are helping to bring more money to your community because it will in- crease demand for butter and raise the price of butterfat, which brings in a large part of this community’s income.” “In baking all-butter bread,” he said, “we are joining forces with the better bakers throughout the coun- try who are adopting the all-butter plan and using only pure creamery butter for shortening. This move- ment is creating a new market for millions of pounds of butter.” a | Enforces Tax Law 1 | But Loses His .

Twenty others of the unionist forces were hit by shotgun pellets and another score of both affiliations were bat- tered by clubs and stones. Staples and Wallace denied firing any shots. No specific charges were placed against them. iTo Cut Heater Cost On Potato Shipments Fargo, July 19.—(P)—Savings of $10.80 a carload in charges on po- tato shipments from North Dakota during freezing weather will be ef- fected as a result of voluntary ac- tion by the national perishable fruit committee at Minneapolis, it was announced Wednesday by N. E. Wil- liams, traffic commissioner of the Fargo chamber of commerce. Williams was so informed in a message from C. L. Kennedy, gen- eral northwest freight agent of the Milwaukee lines. Minnesota shippers will share in the reduction but to a lesser degree because they have been paying a lower “heater rate” than has North Dakota. “The committee has agreed to re- duce the heater rate to 4 cents a hundred pounds from all North Da- kota points to any place in the heat- er territory,” said Williams. “The present rate is 7 cents per hundred.” enough to own private railroads to carry them around their vast estates, and other classes so poor that they all planes in use is about 68 cents a/can afford no other form of transpor- ‘410 mile, or $73 for each hour in the ai | tation except foot. tion of A.
