Headley, Northfield, Minn., Is Making Tour of Area king a tour on which he will visit every Rotary club in the ninth dis- trict, District Governor Leal A. Head- ley, Northfield, Minn., was a guest of the Bismarck Rotarians at their luncheon meeting Wednesday noon. Headley is professor of- psychology and education at Carleton college. ‘The Capital City organization is the third he has visited since he began his tour. Chairmen of all committees of the local club will meet with Governor Headley at the Grand Pacific hotel at 6:30 o'clock Wednesday evening for a business session. In a talk before the club at noon Headley outlined the responsibilities of Rotary clubs throughout the world to their communities and of the in- dividual to his club. Rotary affords an opportunity for relaxation, which is a great need in this day of high pressure and speed, the speaker said. Responsibilities are much more easily fulfilled after amusement and relaxation, he said. Members .of the organization are Dress of Dahlias Monica Bannister, 19-year-old .

The club lunch- eon is one place where Rotarians from out of the city can find men of their own professions, friendship and hospitality, Headley said. This association cnables club members to see the world as others see it. Rotary’s organization throughout jthe world is not for material gain, the district governor said, but rather for better fellowship to promote un. derstanding between persons of dif- ferent nations, races and creeds. George Duemeland, president of the local club, urged all members of the club to exercise their poll privileges by voting in the junior college elec- tion Thursday. Among guests at the meeting were C. R. Dalrymple, Fargo, and L. M. Kuhnley, Bismarck, both of Northwest Airways, Inc.; Obert A. Olson, Bis- marck; H. 8. Russell, Mandan; Art McAdams.and J. G.

Sept. 7—(®)—There will be no divorce for the Rudy Val- lees, the former Fay Webb, actress wife of the crooning radio singer, said here Wednesday. “It was all a mistake,” Mrs. Vallee said. “I love my husband and always have loved him. I am leaving at noon for Santa, Monica, and will join Rudy later in New York. I’m so happy.” The startling turn came as Mrs. Vallee was believed to be preparing to establish @ divorce residence here. A sudden realization that her sep- aration from Vallee was all the result of a “childish and foolish quarrel” coupled with a midnight telephone conversation with the raido singer and orchestra leader in Atlantic City, was responsible for the change in Plans. “I know now that I was just a little fool to even think of a divorce,” Mrs. Vallee confessed. “Rudy never want- ed one, although he was just a perfect dear and told me that if I thought a divorce was best, why that was what I should get. But I was wrong and we love each other more than ever how. We both admitted that last night.” Stern Will Manage Hoover’s N. D.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1932 ~. | Presiding at Convention PRICE OF WHEAT IN OKLAHOMA IS CITED Constitution He Takes - Oath to Support (By The Associated Press} Governor George F. Shafer Wed- nesday surveyed the remarks made by William Langer, Republican nom- inee for governor, in his opening election address at New Rockford, and asked several questions. The governor was particularly in- terested in statements made by Lan- ger that if North Dakota had a gov- ernor of the type of Alfalfa Bill Mur- ray of Oklahoma in recent months, the price of wheat would be higher today in North Dakota. Commented Governor Shafer: “Ap- propos wheat, Langer says if we had @ governor of the type of ‘Alfalfa Bill’ we would be getting a higher price for wheat. Then why is the price of wheat in Oklahoma, less today than it is in North Dakota?” Turning to Langers’ remarks that if necessary he will call out the Na- tional Guard to prevent marketing of wheat until the price reaches $1 & bushel, Governor Shafer referred again to the Oklahoma situation, de- claring that “even an aggressive gov- ernor has not seen fit to use the militiat to prevent the farmer of his state from selling his products.” Must Take Oath if governor, attempt to enforce an embargo on wheat by martial law in disregard of the constitution,” Gover- nor Shafer continued. “It might be in order to remind the candidate that before any person can become governor he must take a sol- emn oath that he will support the constitution of the United States and the constitution of North Dakota. In view of that requirement it might be in order for the citizens of North Da- kota to ask Mr. Langer whether, in case he should be elected, he intends to disregard and violate his oath of office.” Governor Shafer takes the stand that martial law cannot be employed a8 @ means of “repealing or replacing civil law or to destroy the constitu- tional right of the people.” Langer in his address at New Rockford said “only a coward hides behind the word ‘unconstitutional,’ and cited the ac- tion of Gov. Murray in declaring mar- tial law in an effort to raise the price of oil, He praised this action and de- clared that if similar action were necessary to increase the price of wheat he would, if elected, take steps in that direction.” Williams County to Register Warrants Williston, N. D., Sept. 7—(?)—With an assessed valuation of more than $26,000,000 and a net debt of about $110,000, Williams county was unable to find a buyer for certificates of in- debtedness to the amount of $50,000 which the commissioners sought to sell in order to meet current needs until tax payments bring the needed cash into the treasury. Bids for the warrants had becn in- vited by the commissioners, but. when the day arrived there were no bids and the commissioners instruct- ed the county auditor to issue war- rants for accumulated bills amounting to about $15,000, two-thirds of the sum being for poor relief.

C. N. Moore is shown on left and C. P. Haskins on right. Lower left shows a flowering grapefruit two inches high that was grown from radiated seed. Lower right is an albino gtapefruit plant grown from treated seed. Tests Made so Far Indicated That Treatment Speeds Blossoming Schenectady, N. Y., Sept. 7—A plant that formerly toox from five to 10 years to blossom now is made to burst into flower in five weeks through treatment by X-rays. Two research workers toiling in the laboratories of General Electric here, have succeeded in bringing about this modern miracle of plant science. The experiments were carried on with grapefruit seed and, from results ob- tained, it is probable that some time in the future the farmer will be plant- ing X-rayed seeds which will sprout and bear fruit in a much shorter time than at present. The two men conducting this treat- ment with X-rays are C. N. Moore and C. P. Haskins. They took grape- fruit seeds sent here by the Univer- ‘sity of California, soaked them in wa- ter, dried them, and then subjected them to treatment. One seed exposed to radiation for two minutes was Planted and produced a plant with normal leaf and flower coloration, but with leaves somewhat elongated and diminutive, and with a deficient root system, Plant All White One of the most peculiar results from this treatment was the produc- tion by one seed of an apparent al- bino plant, having no green coloring matter, but producing a flower with stamens of the proper golden color. The plants, produced in an auto- matically heated greenhouse, never will bear fruit; they will not be al- lowed to grow long enough. Present experiments call only for production of the flower, and then removal of the pollen for use in additional ex- periments. Later, however, plants will be allowed to produce. The plants produced by the ray treatment have been dwarfs. The Brapefrult plants were only a few inches tall, while the plants ordinarily Ht several feet high before they loom. plants are twisted stems, double leaves, and blotches of white. Of course, at this early stage of the experiments, scientists are reluctant to make any favorable predictions for the future. As yet the tests are ina formative stage, and it is too early to say whether or not this plan of seed treatment can be controlled to produce a desired strain of a plant and become commercialized. Must Be Controlled “In the X-ray tube we have a single agent which, used in apparently the same way, or with only small percep- tible differences of operation in dif- | ferent cases, can profoundly modify | the course of life treated with it, stim- ulating it to increased productivity, deforming it, destroying it after a delayed interval, or blasting it in- stantly to death,” C. P. Haskins re- Ports. Here’s Where You Broadway Concord Grapes, per basket ss... ‘Bananas, fancy solid, Se cos cne ree PR: Butter, No. 1 creamery, 2 Ib.

Is there any way of seg- regating the good results from the bad and applying them in the service of humanity? What would be the fi- nancial benefits accruing from such @ development? “The possibilities, as applied to man’s welfare, of being able to modify, in controlled fashion, the heredity of farm stock and crops are practically endless. Very remarkable results have been achieved in the modification of wheat and corn and the treatment of tobacco and cotton. “The Long Island bulb growers have become much interested in the pro- duction of new flower varieties by X-ray, and the double gladioli and the double paper-white narcissis which have been produced give them en- couragement. “But we knew lttle of the causes of our production, and 90 per cent of our raying was wasted, since on the whole only 10 per cent of the bulbs showed mutation effects. Realization of the potentialities of the process is becoming mote keen and general every day. Oranges for the North “The possibilities are endless in- deed. A cold-resistant orange type, similar to the cold-resistant strain of corn developed at Cornell, might well extend the citrus fruit orchards far to the north, with enormous reduc- tion of expenses in transportation, handling and ground hire. “New vegetables and new flowers will always find a ready market if they are superior to old ones, and the general life-level of humanity will be raised at the same time.” The suggested applications of X-ray will only come about after a further study of the phenomena and the working out of a “dosage” treatment fo reach seed and animal undergoing the radiation, Haskins believes. This application of the treatment is being studied all over the wor]d by scien- tists, and it is probable that before long the development will become practical and widespread.
