THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MERCHANDISE LINES || SHOW IMPROVEMENT Urgent Needs and Higher Prices Have Favorable Effect on Business Athough the heavy industries show fittle improvement, merchandising lines are beginning to respond to the urgency created by low inventories, better demand for goods and slightly higher prices, according to the week- ly commercial review issued by R. G. Dun and company, business commen- tators. A part of the review follows: “Inquiries in many divisions of trade are enlarging because of ur- gent needs and higher prices. Retail distribution is still curtailed however as is usual in midsummer. Further advices of additional activity in many industrial lines strengthen renewed confidence in fall buying. Unemploy+ ment continues acute, but some gains are shown because of resump- tion at many factories and extended time at others. This is especially true in the wool goods division in New England, where operations have been renewed because requirements that should have been provided for months ago must be met. “The same cOndition is also noted in other divisions. Greatly depleted inventories and seasonal necessities in practically every branch of trade now tafluence dealers in most lines. Conditions are such that large pur- chases are yet to be made by first | hands to meet even limited require- ments for the fall and winter. The agricultural outlook has again be- come an important factor. The grain crops are moving quite actively and better prices have stimulated inquir- ies; furthermore, a large yield of corn is now quite confidently assured al- though the August estimate is below that of July. Live$tock markets in the west have also improved. “The August report on cotton in- dicates such a shrinkage in yield as to practically insure ample provisioa for the present large carry-over. Con- fidence among textile buyers has been inspired and the primary dry goods markets have continued to broaden with the wholesale distribution of goods somewhat larger and a further sharp advance in cotton cloth and cotton yarns. Mills at this time are only fairly active and in the sotth curtailment still marks operations. “Silks continue to expand and prices are higher. The rayon busi- ness is gaining steadily in produc- tion. In the heavy industries there is still a marked depression. Pig iron output in July was further re- duced and the unfilled tonnage of the leading interest at the close of the month of 1,966,300 tons, while only slightly lower, was under all ean records for that corpora- jon.” Canada’s Liquor Plan Is Declared Failure Seattle, Aug. 16—(7)—Mrs. T. H. Wright, a Canadian W. C. T. U. offi- cial, termed government control of liquor “the biggest curse that ever came to Canada” in an address be- fore the United States group of the union here in annual convention, Speaking Monday night Mrs. Wright, who lives in Vancouver, said government control would only in- tensify the liquor problem, not solve it. She said she was convinced Pres- ident Hoover's suggestion of state op- tion would not work out. She asserted that the “beer par- lors” were but “beer saloons” and asked “ will say the saloons are not back” when at the closing hour of 11 p. ‘you see young men and women walking out of them unsteady on their feet.and in their brains?” “I hope many of us in Canada will have a share in keeping the 18th Seenament in your constitution,” she said, Hold Services for Former Forks Man Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 16.—(?)— Masonic funeral services for Halbert E. Payne, 62, Grand Forks resident for many yearg before he moved to Fargo, were helt! Monday in the Ma- sonic Temple here. Rev. H. R. Har- rington and T. B. Elton were in charge. Active pallbearers were John H. Vold, J. A. Poppler, W. H. Alexan O. A, Lystad, H. H. Wilson, and C. C. Jackson, honorary pallbearers were Colonel W.H. McGraw, Dr. R. D. Campbell, O. J. Barnes, E. J. Dens- more, John Dows and E. G. Allen. Burial was in Memorial Park ceme- tery hére. Payne died Friday near Lakes, Minn, Detroit Gang of Boy Thieves Broken Up at Fargo Fargo, Aug. 16—()—A career of petty thievery came to an abrupt halt Monday for six Fargo boys, the oldest 12, when they were arrested by Fargo Police. Their arrest came when police investigated a complaint that one of the boys had hit a small girl with a hatchet. Questioned, the youth admitted several thefts and implicated the others. They had broken into the Fargo armory and stolen bayonets ‘and army belts, They also had stole: articles from Fargo stores and had gained admission to the Masonic tem- ple where they stole an old gun. All articles were recovered. The boys were paroled to their par- ents. 50 Leaders Accept Jobs on Committee New York, Aug. 16.—()—The na- tion's idle took a new grip on hop» for relief Tuesday with the an- nouncement that 55 of the country’s leaders had agreed to serve on 9 com- mittee to give ald to the unemployed.

While the path of totality is a belt of darkness 100 miles wide across the New Hampshire and southeastern Maine, here is the exact center of the eclipse. Moreover, all past weather records for more than 50 years indi- cate that Fryeburg and a section within 25 miles, including West Bald- win, Limington and Limerick, are most likely to have favorable weather. Ballyhooing the Eclipse The Fryeburg-Lovell Kiwanis club is planning to make the eclipse the grand smash, the cerulean climax of the summer vacation season. Jy has had printed for liberal distribution an elaborate folder entiled “See the Eclipse from the Fryeburg-Lovell re- ion.” : Messrs. Sun, Moon and Earth com- mence their act, which will not be repeated in this section until 1963, at 2:20 p.m. The period of totality begins at 3:28 (E. S. T.) and lasts for 99 seconds, At 4:33 p. m. the curtain falls, so to speak, and the sun again floods the earth. At least that’s the gamble. The Fryeburg region has had about 60 per cent clear after- noons the latter part of August for a good many years. So on that chance, astronomers from far and near are flocking to Fryeburg. Rudy Vallee’s Cottage Hotels, inns, boarding houses and summer camps are planning for ca- pacity crowds. Kezar Pond, in Lo- yell, is close by, where there are ca- us summer hotels, and incident- ally, Rudy Vallee’s spendid summer cottage. The Fryeburg fair grounds will be opened to the public as an ideal point of vantage. Cement bases for telescopes and other apparatus are being built in the large flat, open field where stands the Peary memorial on Main street. Here Lieut. Com. Robert E. Peary, as a boy attending Fryeburg Academy in 1863, found time to lay out a sys- tem of rock markers, or meridian stones, which indicate the true north and enable surveyors to obtain the magnetic variation. Bases also will be placed at various adjacent spots along the high bare banks of the Saco river, Historic Neighborhood Fryeburg itself is a delightful old town, very level, with broad Main street, fine homes and _ well-kept lawns. It has a few small manufac- tories and the largest forest nursery in Maine. The total population of Fryeburg, North and Center Frye- burg is only about 1,500. Famous as a town of intellectual standing, its Fryeburg Academy in 1892 had completed a century of life, it in 1792. Its second preceptor was Daniel Webster, who studied law and taught in 1802 and also served as a clerk in the old county register’s of- fice. Page after page of original Webster penmanship may be seen on file in the modern county building today. The facilities of the academy will be open to the visiting scientists. Literary Flavor *Not far outside the town proper at Lovell Pond is the scene of Love- well’s fight, when a Massachusetts company of 34 soldiers lost half its number when ambushed by the In- dians in 1725. It was in Fryeburg exactly 100 years later that Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Portland’ famous poet, heard his first pub- lished poem, “Lovewell’s Fight,” sung by a chorus of school children. William Dean Howells wrote of Fryeburg in a novel while staying at a hotel here. About 25 years ago Richard Hard- ing Davis, then editor of Munsey’s, discovered wonderful fishing in Lo- vell’s Pond and he introduced it to Newton Newkirk, Boston humorist, Irvin Cobb and other notables who have visited it frequently. Fryeburg has no motion picture theater nor pool room. Such are the surroundings amid which the great astronomers will gather. Fryeburg folk talk of little else these days.

The fact, that they had taken the precaution to find out that members of that family were out of town be- fore cashing the checks led author- ities to believe both were profession- a! criminals. If they can be identified the wom- en will be charged with obtaining money under false pretenses, author- ities said. | Ask Expert Probe Of Mystery Bones Fergus Falls, Minn., Aug. 16—(?)— Bones, believed those of a human be- ing found in a burned barn on the farm of Henry Abbott near here have been sent to the University of Minne- sota for examination, but authorities have made little progress toward solv. ing this most recent of a series of three mysteries near here. The proximity of the Abbott farm to the farm where Mons Jacobson was tortured and robbed before being shot to death a few days earlier, has led to @ belief there is a connection. between the two deaths. One theory advanced is that the murderer of Jacobson may have gone into the barn and committed suicide. Another theory, since it seems probable two men killed Jacobson, is that the Jacobson murderer killed his accomplice and set fire to the barr \to hide the man’s identity. | Search is being carried on for a| ‘man who escaped from the insane hospital here shortly before August Grage was killed in the first of the jthree slayings. Sawyer Leading in Qualifying Contest, St. Paul, Aug. 16.—(?)—Pat Sawyer lof Minneapolis, playing in his first sectional qualifying test for the na- jtional amateur golf meet, led a field of five with a 71 after 18 of 36 holes Tuesday. He was two below par at the Town and Country club. Lester Bolstad of St. Paul was next with 76 and Jimmy Johnston of St. Paul, former national amateur cham-; pion had 77. Two will qualify. | Trans-Ocean Flier | Seriously Injured: Springfield, Mass., Aug. | Russell N. Boardman, trans-Atlantic! jflier, was seriously injured this after; noon as an airplane he was trying out; crashed into the woods near here, from’ a height of 2,000 feet. Board-| man was in a semi-conscious condi- tion when taken from the plane and hurried to a hospital. The plane was | demolished. ‘Low Paving Bids Are Offered Minnesota 8t. Paul, Aug. 16—(7)—Bids on 125.3 miles of paving, opened by the ‘Minnesota highway department Tues- day, averaged about 10 per cent be- low the lowest offers received July 19, said an unofficial estimate. Tabulation of bids on nine jobs was! begun. Contracts will be awarded on ‘completion of this, expected in about a week. 11-Year-Old Boy | o Gets Hole in One __—————$S— O Argyle, Minn., Aug. 16.—(P)— Ralph Paulson, an eleven year old Argyle boy, joined the ranks of the hole-in-one club, scoring an ace on the local course. He made his shot on the eighth hole which is 127 yards and a par three. KILLED IN GRAVEL SLIDE. - Mankato, Minn., Aug. 16.—(?)—Ru- dolph Hellinson, 36, of Adams, N. D., was killed when buried by a gravel ployed by Roberts Brothers, road con- tractors of Sleepy Eye, Minn. Hellin- son was PLANES ARE DESTROYED Fryeburg, Me., Is Point of Total Eclipse of Sun ed by scientists through SPEED PLANS FOR FARM CREDIT BANKS 12 Institutions With $3,000,000 Each in Capital Proposed By Board Washington, Aug. 16.—(#)—The re- construction corporation is expediting plans for 12 regional agricultural credit corporations to make loans to farmers and stockmen. Board members have sought infor- mation from agricultural and live- stock leaders from virtually all sec- tions of the country during the last few days. Indications are the corporation will announce shortly its program for creating the corporations, ordered by the huge relief bill. Under the act, each institution is to have a paid-up capital of not less than $3,000,000, to be subscribed by the reconstruction corporation. The new agencies are to be man- aged by officers and agents appoint- ed by the reconstruction corporation, which is seeking men qualified to undertake the work. The corporations may make loans for crop production and for the rais- ing, breeding, fattening and market- ing of livestock. Paper they acquire will be eligible for discount or redis- count at any federal reserve or in- TUESDAY, AUGUST 16, 1932 Pioneer Father of Bismarck Folks Dies Fargo, Aug. 16.—(#)—Pioneer in the hardy days of the ox cart and the covered wagon, Claus B. Benson, retired homesteader of Christine, N. D., died in a Fargo hospital Mon- day. He was 91 years, 7 months and 16 days old. From Norway in the spring of 1867 he came with his wife to America. Until 1871, he settled at Newmarket, in Dakota county, Minnesota. Then he pushed across the Red river into Dakota Territory and took a home- stead four miles northwest of Chris- tine. His widow broke soil with sticks of wood, growing potatoes and carry- ing them by oxen into the Fargo markets.

Will Meet for Title In Printers’ Tourney St. Paul, Aug. 16.—()—Washing- ton and Cincinnati, two of the lead- ing teams in the Union Printers In- ternational Baseball tournament, meet Tuesday for the right to enter the finals. The winner will meet New York, which drew a bye, for the title on Wednesday. Washington, defending the cham- pionship it won in 1931, was a slight favorite over the strong Cincinnati team, which lost its first game Mon- day. The Ohioans were beaten in their first clash with Washington, 5 to 4. New York stayed in the running by eliminating the Twin Cities, 16 to 8, Monday. Until 7:30 CAPITO THEATRE 25c I DAILY AT 2:30 - 7 -9 J This is the last day to see termediate credit bank. The rates of interest on loans are not fixed, being left to the credit organizations. A Texas delegation, headed by Rep- resentative Richard Kleberg, south- western rancher, and a Minnesota group led by Frederick E. Murphy, of Minneapolis, among others, have placed information before the recon- struction board as to the need for urgent action. The Minnesotans advocated an in- crease in the capitalization to $10,- 000,000 to spread wider the benefits of the relief act. The loans must be adequately secured and not be for more than three years, with extensions not to exceed five years from the date of the original loan. Three Are Indicted In Washington Riot Washington, Aug. 16.—(?)—Three men wéte indicted by a grand jury Tuesday for their part inthe fighting between veterans and police which led to the ejection of the bonus army from the capital at the point of army bayonets. Police said one of the men indicted, Broadus Faulkner, 32, a Kentucky negro, had served a prison term in Michigan for breaking and entering and that he was sentenced to 90 days this year in Philadelphia as a profes- sional thief. The others are John O. Olson, 44, a carpenter, Nebraska, and Bernard McCoy, Chicago. Faulkner was charged with felonious assault. The grand jury, which has been investigating the bonus army riots since August 5, made its report to Justice James M. Proctor in the District of Columbia supreme court. Attorney General Mitchell directed the inquiry which led to the indict- ments. Two Found Guilty on Charge of Assault Michael Fix, 223 South Sweet St., and Charles Thomas, 221 South Sweet St., were found guilty in po- lice court here late Monday of as- sault and battery.
