BUSINESS OUTLOOK |‘Open Your Heart’ Drive {HERRIOT BELIEVES FOR STATE I$ G00) (Gets Under Way Thursday ANALYSTS DECLARE Noted Economic Service Says Entire State Is in One of Few Favored Areas Business will be better in North Da- kota during the next six months than anywhere else in the country when compared with last year, according to an analysis issued Thursday by the Brookmire Economic service, one of the nation’s leading business analysts. The entire state is shown on the economic ‘map as a-shaded area, indi- cating that prospects for business in the area are fair. Only a few locali- \tles in the United States are so list- ed, the largest part of the map being in white, the method used for desig- nating poor business prospects. It is estimated that consumer in- come for the state during the next six months will be 102 per cent of the income reported for the same period @ year ago, even though it will be only 57 per cent of the average income as compared with the average of the last three years. Included in the dis- trict with North Dakota are Northern South Dakota, western Minnesota, part of Montana and a considerable area in the provinces of Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan. Commenting on the outlook for the agricultural area comprised by the Dakotas, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas, the survey says: Compared with a year ago, total consumer income for this section dur- ing the next six months will be about 23 per cent lower. Except for North and portions of South Dakota agricultural sections will again have very poor purchasing power. The ture will doubtless come up for action in the short session of con- gress, but no definite solution of the numerous problems is yet in sight. In- dustry continues quiet, as does con- struction.

Efforts were made to speed the {hearings so the committee can get to {work by Tuesday on a, bill to submit for passage by the end of riext week. This is in line with the Democratic program for action by Christmas, if possible. Representatives Stafford of Wiscon- cans, and Boland (Dem., Pa.), led off in favor of Volstead modification; to be followed by Yandell Henderson, of Yale universtiy. The professor of physiology said he wanted it understood “that I am an expert on poisons that include al- cohol.” With that, he declared “beer of about 4 per cent is not appreciably more intoxicating than an equal vol- ume of coffee.” Independence for the Philippines, pledged by the Democratic party, was taken up as the immediate chief con- rn of the senate. e readers of both parties looked for passage of a bill by next week. The measure before them, considered un- der an agreement made before ad- journment of the last session, was the Hawes-Cutting bill, granting free- dom to the island 18 years after pass- age. But changes were forecast, largely because it conflicts sharply with the Hare bill—passed by an over- whelming majority by the house last session—which provides for full free- dom in eight years. Both bills restrict free importations but continue those same restrictions through the transition years. Farm leaders want free entries lessened af- ter each year. They also object to the island plebiscite in the Hawes-Cutting bill at the end of 18 years, pending which full freedom would be withheld.

D., was robbed and for which Vandiver now is on trial. Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Lovre declared Vandiver came to their home at 11 P. m. Sept. 13, that he stayed there all night.

The report was that the premier left the conference disposed to rec- ommend to the French parliament that his country pay the $20,000,000 interest due America on the same date, but with the stipulation that this will be the last payment pend- ing negotiations. It was understood that Herriot told MacDonald that he would have to consult parliament before taking a definite stand. MacDonald told him, he said, that | Public opinion in England favored payment to the United States. He told the British prime minister that French opinion seemed to be against payment, An official communique issued after the conference said the two countries will continue independent action with regard to the debts but also will continue, their efforts to ob- tain by international cooperation measures calculated to promote the economic restoration of the world. While preserving their independ- ence of action, he said, both France and Great Britain will exert every effort to induce the United States to cooperate in the general economic reconstruction, especially in the handling of debt questions. WAR DEBTS MESSAGE IS SENT TO ENGLAND Washington, Dec. 8.—()—A second firm, polite refusal to extend the war the British Thursday while the Amer- ican government waited to see how. much of the nearly $125,000,000 due Dec. 15 would be paid by foreign debtors, A few hours after tenewed opposi- tion to reducing these obligations had been heard in congress, Secretary Stimson Wednesday night gave Sir Ronald Lindsay, the British ambas- sador, the U. 8. reply to that coun- try’s newest request for suspension of payments this month. While the contents were not made public, it was assumed in official quarters the note said again congress alone could change the debt situation, that the president would ask creation of an agency to study it, and advised that payment be made. @ new moratorium, the Belgian gov- ernment making a second a the Lovre home for a noon meal and remaining there during the afternoon, | derstood they testified, f ply to y Testimony of the Lovres and Vandi- ver’s alibl that he was in Huron was with Vandiver Sept. 14 in Huron.

Here is the method outlined by the law: * The clerk of the district court is the officer charged with keeping the jury records and the jury box and the law requires that it shall contain the names of 200 persons at the time any drawing is made if there is that number of citizens in the county eli- gible for jury duty. When the number of names in the box falls below that figure, the clerk is required to notify the county au- Gitor as secretary of the board of county commissioners, which serves as a jury board in each county, ad- vising him of the number of names needed to bring the jury box up to the legal requirements. Law Is Specific This request is transmitted by the auditor to the commissioners, who then are charged by law with appor- tioning the number to be chosen to the various voting districts in the county “as nearly as may be on a pro rata basis.” The county commission having acted, the county auditor then noti- fies each political subdivision, of the number of names required from it. Provision also is made for the selec- tion of jurors from unorganized townships. Upon receipt of such a request, each township board or the city com- mission is required to post notices that it will meet as a jury board to draw the names, giving the place and time. Three times the number of ; ames required from the area are selected on the basis of qualifications for jury service and placed in a re- jceptacle. The number of names needed then are drawn out and the j list is sent to the county auditor as | the persons from that district eligi- ble for jury service. Local boards are required to keep a record of the names drawn but failure to do so does not invalidate the action. This list ordinarily is sent to the j county auditor, who turns it over to the clerk of court, but it frequently happens that the list is sent to the clerk direct. When the lists are received, the clerk enters the names in his jury book and the names also are writ- ten on slips of paper. These are fold- ed and placed in the jury box. Juries are drawn only upon order of the judge of the district court. Within three days after the receipt of such order, the clerk of court, county auditor, county treasurer and sheriff meet together at the county seat to draw from the jury box the names of persons to serve on the jury panel, Clerk Records Names After comparing the names in the jury box with the jury list, the draw- ing is made by having one of the officers other than the clerk take the names from the box by lot. The clerk records the names of the jurors in the order in which they are drawn and when the number directed by the judge to be obtained is complete the drawing is finished. Special provision is made for the selection of jurors if, for any cause, the panel of grand or petit jurors is not complete, if no jury is drawn as ‘| provided by law, or if all persons summoned as jurors fail to appear. In such cases the presiding judge orders the clerk to summon a suf- ficient number of qualified persons to complete the panel, specifying: the time and place where they shall ap- pear. The clerk then convenes the county board to obtain jurors and the board then selects the names of the required number of citizens eli- gible to serve, such selection being made by a majority vote of the board. A venire then is issued for the persons so selected and served in the same manner as provided for jurors of the regular panel. 14 Miners Die in New Mexico Blast “Tt is a fate that stalks e7 miner,” said one of the 64 who es- ‘Ppea' Wednesday.

Authorization to support any sur- Plus crop control plan and demand currency inflation were given officers of the American farm bureau federa- tion as its annual convention closed late Wednesday. As he made plans for conferences at Washington, Presi- dent Edward A, O’Neal said: “The farm bureau has its most united front in years. We are ready |for a militant campaign in legislation to carry out the farm pro- gram.” With some variation, similar stands on major issues were taken at earlier conventions of the Farmers Union and National Grange, the other major farm organizations. The domestic allotment plan for re- duced acreage was not mentioned specifically in resolutions adopted by the farm bureau, which abandoned WILL SPEED WORK Washington, Dec. 8—(P)—De- termined to speed relief legisla- tion, the house agriculture com- mittee Thursday agreed to open hearings on the Democratic farm- aid program next Tuesday with the intention of concluding them during the week. sole insistence upon the equalization fee and approved in general any plan for solving the problem of disposing of surplus crop and livestock products for which the export market is limit- ed, L. J. Taber, master of the National Grange and’ proponent of the export debenture, also has his organization's | authorization to concentrate support behind the domestic allotment. Some leaders of the Farmers Union are re- ported to favor the allotment. Monetary reform also has been made an issue by the farm groups. Inflation by increasing the price of gold, which would cause a larger sup- ply of currency and bring higher Prices, was advocated by the farm bureau. Although not so strong as the farm bureau’s position, the Grange has de- manded an “honest dollar.” Remone- tization of silver at a “16 to 1” basis is part of the union's program. The bill toward which testimony is to be directed will be introduced by Chairman Jones (Dem., Texas) prob- ably Monday after a morning confer- ence with leaders of the three major farm organizations—the farm bureau federation, National Grange and Farmers’ National Union.

He made the statement to the assembly Thursday. Matsuoka demanded the authors of the resolution withdraw it or that the assembly vote on it immediately. Some observers recalled authorita- tive sources in Tokyo said Japan may be forced to withdraw from the Lea- gue if her Manchurian policy was endangered. Matsuoka said the assembly’s pur- pose should be to seek a conciliatory Settlement and that the resolution, submitted by Spain, the Irish Free State, Sweden and Czechoslovakia, would be hostile to this purpose. “If it is adopted it will have con- sequences unforeseen by the authors,” he said. The Japanese nation, united as one! man, is prepared to confront the most. Severe penalties provided in the League of Nation’ covenant in defense of its policy in Manchuria, Matsuoka told the league assembly. “The whole nation is solidly behind the military leaders, who have acted as they should,” he declared. “There are sixty-five million of them. Do you think all of them have gone mad?” MARILYN IN ENGLAND Southampton, Eng., Dec. &—(P)— Marilyn Miller, who was carried to ps Entire Country irl Wins Wool Dress Contest MERCURY DROPS 10 > 90 DEGREES BELOW FOR NORTH DAKOTA Continued Cold Forecast For Tonight; Warmer Weather Expected Friday WINNIPEG IS COLDEST POINT All Sections of Nation Affected By Gigantic Moving High Pressure Area Sub-zero temperatures prevailed throughout North Dakota Thursday as the mercury scuttled to the bot- tom of the thermometer in the face of what the weather bureau described as a gigantic high-pressure area mov- ing down from the Canadian north- west. The forecast was for continued cold and fair weather Thursday night and Friday with a rise in tempera- ture Friday afternoon, Bismarck and North Dakota ap- peared to be in the center of the area affected but its effects reached into nearly every part of the country. Considerable suffering was reported from the lower middle west, south- west and far west, where many per- sons were caught unprepared for the frigid demonstration. In the east, also, temperatures were falling and Baltimore, Wi and Pitts- burgh reported a swift slump in thermometers. The weather man said the extreme east would be cold Thursday and that no relief was in sight for the sections already af- fected. Devils Lake was the coldest point in North Dakota with 20 below zero at 7 a. m., while Minot was close be- hind with 19. Grand Forks had 17 below. Williston 18 below, Bismarck a below and Fargo-Moorhead 12 be- low. The weather map of the federal weather station here showed Winni- peg, Man., as the coldest point in the country. A minimum of 34 be- low zero was recorded there during the night and at 7 a. m. the tem- perature stood at -32. Next in order came The Pas, Man., with -30, and Q’Appelle, Sask., with -26. Of the stations in the United States reporting here, Miles City, Mont., had the lowest official tem- perature with -22, two degrees colder than Devils Lake. The Twin Cities had -6 but Thief River Falls, Minn., reported -25. An unofficial ther- mometer at Georgetown Lake, near Anaconda, Mont., showed -30. At Wallace, Idaho, a blizzard was reported with the temperature at -11 but in the neighboring state of Utah, Modena nestled among the moun- tains to show the highest tempera- ture in the entire northwest, a maxi- mum of 28 above zero. The extreme Far West also was touched, with freezing temperatures Teported in the Sacramento valley and northern sections of California. Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota, as well as Parts of the Dakotas, Colorado, Wy- oming, Montana and Washington were blanketed by snow.
