CHRISTHAS CHEER WILL BE PROVIDED ALLOVERGOUNTRY Businessmen, Newspapers, Lodges and Fraternities Are Cooperating (By The Associated Press) From out of the north swept old St. Nicholas and he shouted a “whoa” at Donder and he shouted a “whoa” at Blitzen and he mused “Let us see what is being done about cheer!/* He stopped over Washington and he looked at Spokane to see? firemen mending old toys. He shifted his gaze—Seattle, Bellingham, Olympia, ‘Yakima, and Aberdeen at a glance+ and how the old fellow chuckled as he visioned in advance the Christmas deeds of Elks, Salvation Army, “Good- fe}'ows,” and newspapers. With a “giddap” to Donder and “giddap” to Blitzen he slid over Ne- braska. Pleased he was to see toys and candy headed for the Dependent Children’s home and an orthopedic hospital. Party At Kansas City A special stop was Kansas City, where t’will be the silver anniversary of the mayor's Christmas party. “I’m privy to the plan,” mused San- ta. “The tree will be 40 feet high in convention hall with silver leaves and 2 half pound of candy and nuts for each of 12,000 needy children. Heigh ho, let us go!” On to St. Louis, and there he saw the city firemen, the toy shop of the board of religious organizations and the toy shop guild as busy as could be mending and making and planning Gelicht. Over Illinois he passed and there found the churches planning Christ- mas dinners for the needy. Up to Milwaukee next to find civic and fra- ternal organizations and newspapers cooperating to provide clothing and food to those who need it. Businessmen Sell Papers “Ho! Blitzen,” shouted Santa with Gelight, “lock at these business men standing on the corners and selling newspapers here in Detroit. They used to sell them when they were boys and now they are charging what- ever the buyer will give and the money goes to Christmas cheer. “And what's this? Cleveland?

Precipitation was about normal. Moorhead weather station indicates .06 below normal while the stations at Devils Lake and Williston indicate about .05 inch above normal. Livestock in feed lots have made very satisfactory gains. Lambs have taken on flesh very readily. Several feeders have been able to “top” the flocks with good results on the mar- ket. The condition of lambs on feed is given as 82 per cent of normal. Hay and feed supplies continue to have a favorable outlook as 93 per cent of those reporting believe they have} Arabian. either sufficient or a surplus. With the preSent cold wave continuing the drain will be very heavy on these sup- plies and conditions can change rapid- ly. The water supply is. very good. ‘There are a few that have some water shortage but these are very scattered. The weight of the steers shipped to market this year does not differ a great deal from those shipped a year ago. The estimated weight is 940 pounds as compared with 945 pounds a year ago. Calves seem to be some- what heavier than @ year ago. They average 322 pounds according to es- timates as compared with 302 pounds @ year ago. Lambs average 176.6 Pounds as compared with 73.4 a year ago. North Dakota ranges show @ condi- tion of 77 as compared with 73 a month ago. This increase in condi- tion is due largely to the fact that the snow cover largely disappeared during late November in most sections of the state. A year ago the condition was 70 and the 10 year average is 81.1. Ranges in the western states are all well supplied with feed except for parts of Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma and New Mexico. South Dakota gained a point, Montana re- Ports the same condition as a month ago, while Wyoming lost 4 points, The condition of the western states range is 81 per cent of normal, 82 a month ago, 73 a year ago and 83.4 the 10-year average.

Roosevelts A visit to the Roosevelt family me, and a glance at its fur- nishings and books, provides an intimate insight into the charac- ters of the people who have lived there. So, ‘likewise, does an ac- count of the Roosevelts’ pets— and they have had dozens of them. This is the seventh of a series of 12'articles about the next First Family of the Land. By PAUL HAERISON Increasing responsibilities have been accepted as a matter of course by the rising Roosevelts, Each of them, even the daughter, Anna, has planned far ahead for a business career. From early childhood, too, each was kept strictly on a moderate allowance, and taught how to save. During summer vacations, no matter how many ser- vants might be available, they were alloted small routine tasks. And each was charged with the care and well- being of his pets. There were plenty of the latter—: from white mice to guinea pigs and rabbits. Ambitious ventures were be- gun with the idea of selling great numbers through an organization to have been called “Roosevelt Animal Farms, Inc.” But somehow nothing ever materialized except the animals themselves, and these came in such Profusion that the family gardens were nearly stripped of carrots, let- tuce and other rodent delicacies. Elliott and Anna were sure there must be a market for thoroughbred} dogs, so they decided to go in for the breeding of German shepherds, the| variety now commonly called “police| dogs.” With plenty of stock to start! with (there always were three or four| of the animals about the estate) they} eventually came into possession of} i three or four litters of puppies. And/ then discovered that they were so} fond of each individual puppy that) they couldn’t bear to sell any of them. | So ae gave them away to their! friends. *e & ' WON WRONG PRIZE | Then, as though there already were! not enough dogs about the place, they! acquired Chief. But Chief was cA accident. “One summer, over at the Duchess! County Fair,” Elliot recalls, ‘oma were raffling off a speedy little pony and a German shepherd dog. Anna| had her heart set on winning that Pony, and it occurred to her that if She could buy up most of the chances; | she would be fairly certain of win-/| i ming it. “Since the proceeds of the raffles| were to go for charity (I think it! was the Red Cross), Anna didn’t hes-| itate to petition all the older mem- bers of the family and all the rela-| tives she could see, to take ten | chances each, “Meanwhile Grandmother had been ' sold a chance on the dog. Just one chance, and she certainly didn’t want! the prize. But after the drawings at the fair, while Sis and I were waiting breathlessly at home, sure that the| Pony would arrive, up came a car and delivered the dog. | “Well, after the first shock, we de-| cided it was a pretty fine pup and: took him around to the kitchen and fed him. Then Anna wired Grand-| mother, who was down in the New | York house: ‘YOU HAVE WON PO-/ LICE DOG CONGRATULATIONS | WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH HIM.’! “And she wired back: ‘CONGRAT- | ULATIONS NOTHING STOP DOG! IS YOURS STOP DO WHAT YOU} LIKE WITH HIM.” After that it was Anna’s dog, and | she called him “Chief.” He was her constant companion, even being ta-| ken to Campobello Island, New Bruns- wick. He lived for 14 years, and be- ' came guardian of Anna's children, ' Anna Eleanor Dall, now 5 years old, and Curtis Roosevelt Dall, nearly 3.} But “Chief,” in his dotage, developed @ penchant for chasing sheep. At Campobello last summer he drove one into the bay and calmly drowned it, thereby signing his own death war-| rant. For he had to be shot. | ek * PLENTY ‘OF ROOM Another veteran member of the} Roosevelt menagerie is Natoma, a! strangely marked pony that is three- quarters Norwegian and one-fourth ; . Anna broke him to ride) when she was a little girl, and at 17 he is still her favorite mount when she visits Hyde Park. The original estate, owned by Mrs. James Roosevelt, comprises 500 acres and is bounded on one side by the! Hudson River. Her son, however, has| acquired two back farms totaling 500 acres, and over the entire area run six miles of private roads for mo- | toring and horseback riding. From the main highway the house and its cluster of out-buildings, including stables, garages, laundry, greenhouses and servants’ quarters, are ap- pepeched by a winding tree-lined ‘au broad, open veranda lets on a large central hall, with dining and music rooms behind it,-a stairway : one end, and at the other the “! .” Walnut woodwork and white! walls and ceilings, together with dozens of /Franklin Roosevelt's ship prints, lend an early American at- mosphere. Wheat antiques there are may be approached with confidence that they will not crumple under one’s geen Good taste and luxury are appar- ent everywhere. But no interior dec- orator’s ruthless hand has touched that house to sacrifice comfort for harmony. The “big room” is a living room that in itself is as large as a good-sized cottage. Its dimensions are about 50 by 30 feet, with an 18- foot ceiling. At each end are twin marble fireplaces, accommodating five-foot logs, and in one corner is Franklin Roosevelt's big flat-topped mahogany desk, holding a ship's clock that strikes bells instead of hours, and stacks of letters and tele- grams, Standard Oil magnate, and on it is @ pond where all the Roosevelts have learned to swim, with a rope around their middles and a watchful father holding it and giving advice. There is a pool, though, at “the Cottage” (really a group of cottages) where Mrs, Franklin Roosevelt and two women partners have their Val Kill furniture shop. The.entire de- velopment, about two miles from the Hyde Park house, has been built within the past seven years, when the enterprise was started. Employ- ing local labor, it turns out hand- made reproductions of fine old pieces, which are marketed in the shop in New York.’ The younger Roosevelt sons, who are skilled with tools, like to tinker at the. Val Kill work- benches.. /WANTS EARLY TRIAL OF SUIT BY WIDOW Langer Asks M’Farland to Set Early Date For Trial of Recovery Action (By the Associated Press) Governor-Elect William Langer has asked that Judge R. G. McFarland, presiding over the Burleigh county term of district court, set an early date for trial of the action brought against him for recovery of attorney fees by Mrs. Fred Johnson of Donny- brook. McFarland communicated ‘with Judge George McKenna of Napoleon,! named by the state supreme court to! preside at the trial following fi! ing | of an affidavit of prejudice against | McFarland, and was informed Mc- | Kenna would come here as soon as} he has finished his work at Napoleon. McFarland is prepared to clear the calendar to make way for the case. McKenna plans to come here late his week or early next week. “Without fail I want this action disposed of before I assume office,” Langer informed the court. “Instead of waiting for 30 days in which to file my answer, I answered almost immediately after my election, “I brought the case down to Bur- leigh county where the people have known me for 20 years. I served no-| | tice of trial and notified the lawyers on the other side that I will insist | that this action be tried at this term of court. I do not want the slight- est delay in this lawsuit but I want to expose to the broadest daylight | the politicians that instigated this} j;case and the lengths they went to, ‘9 ‘=auce Mrs. Johnson to bring this action.” iN orthwest Farmers Economize Rigidly Minneapolis, Dec. 14.—(?)—The farmers of the northwest have resort- | ed to business efficiency methods in! jkeeping the wolf from the door, and with marked success, As a result of these methods and strict economy, aided by a plentiful food crop, farmers in Montana and western North and South Dakota, where 45,000 families received food and clothing from the Red Cross a year ago, are working out their own problems, according to Curtis L, Mosh-! ‘er, assistant federal reserve agent for the ninth federal reserve district. Although a few families may be ob- , taining temporary aid in that district, the relief problem of the National| Red Cross has terminated there, ! Mosher said in giving the results of | @ recent survey. { “Food crops have been plentiful and! farmers are working out their prob- lems very well, considering general conditions,” he said. “Farmers throughout the ninth district are practicing farm economies now that were unheard of in boom times. They} are putting operations on a business- like basis and watching expenses closely.” Bancorporation to Pay 15-Cent Dividend Minneapolis, Dec. 14.—(4)—North- west Bancorporation directors Tues- day voted a quarterly dividend of 15 cents per share, payable Jan. 1 to stockholders of record Dec. 20. This rate was established early this year. Net earnings this year will total about ‘$4,600,000 before dividends and certain other charges are deducted, officers reported, compared with $5,- 900,000 in 1931. Authorized capital stock is 2,000,000 shares as a result of stockholders’ ac- tion in approving a reduction from 5,000,000 shares. The shares previ- ously set at $50, now are without par value. An Associated Press dispatch Dec. 9 said capital stock had been reduced from $5,000,000 to $2,000,000.

D., Dec. 14.—Strict. adherence to the letter and spirit of the law is the system used in Stark county to prevént any question as to methods of selecting jurors in its courts, according to T. N. Hartung, clerk of the Stark county district court, whose comment was inspired by the recent challenge to an entire jury panel in Burleigh county. “After each term of court we issue a call for new names for the jury box, So that at all times we have exactly “We pro-rate the number of names rom each sub-division on the num- ber of votes cast at the last general election, using the highest number of votes cast for any county official as the basis. This number, apportioned to each township, village or city (all unorganized townships being classed into the commissioner's district in which they are located) is called their quota and each subdivision has its quota in the box at all times. “We also have a book in which we list all of the voters in the county as persons eligible for jury duty, as we feel that by taxing these names from the poll books we can get the most | accurate list of all the persons eligible to jury duty. “AS soon as one person has served on-a jury his or her name is checked off the list in this list of persons eligible, so that at no time will any Person serve on the jury a second ;time before everyone else qualified has served. Judges Issue Booklet “Each time we issue a call for jur-| ors we inclose a booklet, telling how the jury should be drawn, to each} subdivision clerk or auditor.” The booklet, entitled “How the Jury Should Be Drawn’ is signed by F. T. Lembke, H. L. Berry and Thomas H. Pugh, judges of the sixth judicial dis- trict and is, in effect, a copy of the law with comments by the judges. The preface states “From time to time we hear of complaints about the jury system and the methods employ- ed for selecting jurors for the trial of cases. Many of the criticisms may be avoided and expense saved the county as well, if a little care is ex-| ercised in making the selection of citizens to serve on the jury. We be- lieve ‘the code provisions for the selec- and after consultation we have de- cided that a simple statement of the law governing the selection of jurors and juries will be of assistance to the officers who have these important duties to perform.” Although the booklet relates in non- technical language the provisions of law and the procedure required for the selection of jurors, it contains some illuminating comments by the; judges., Some of them fol#w “Careful attention to t: "matters of qualification and exemption will result in a saving to the county.” “If the township, city or village| does not have such a (jury) book, it} should obtain one at once and put it into use.” “The letter and spirit of the law requires, and it is the duty of these respective (local) boards to so select and arrange the names that no one person shall come on the jury a second time before all other qualified per- sons shall have served respectively it rotation.” The latter part of this injunction is printed in the bookiet in capital letters.

BRIDGE wt CONTRACT EXPERTS PLAY IT 2) By WM. E. McKENNEY Secretary, American Bridge League Many. people who play social and party bridge are at a loss to know how the new rules and scoring affect their game. Even the ones who have studied the rule book carefully find it full of references to rubbers and rubber premiums which have no place in progressive or pivot bridge at all. As a matter of fact the code of laws issued on November 1st applied to rubber bridge only and did not include instructions for party or so- cial bridge. Laws for those games were receritly issued by the Ameri- can Bridge League and I will explain j briefly how they differ from the old rules, The most important change is the addition of the premium or bonus of | 100 points for making a contract less than game. Of course we are all accustomed to the game premium of 300 points when not vulnerable and 500 points when vulnerable. Authorities have always felt that a less-than-game score should have some value in ad- dition to the count for the tricks taken, ** * This 100-point bonus fs scored by a side whenever it successfully fulfills its contract but the value of the contract is not sufficient to go game. The premium of 100 points is exactly the same whether the contract is undoubled, doubled or redoubled, but of course if the doubled or redoubled value of the contract is sufficient for game, then the game premium is scored instead of the less-than-game premium. The new trick values and under- trick penalties will be used, but these are familiar to most players by this time and can be found on any score pad. In progressive or pivot bridge it is proper to play four deals and then Progress or change partners, the sid making the highest total score in the four deals figuring an additional pre- mium of 250 points for winning the round. The rules for vulnerability are the | same as they have ai been, but many players do not have them | clearly in mind and it is perhaps well} On the first deal of each round, no one is vulnerable; on the second and third deals, only the dealer's side is} vulnerable; and on the fourth deal, both sides are vulnerable.

When this oc- curs, only three deals are played at} that round instead of four. | The rule of party bridge which is} most frequently violated is the one concerning plus and minus score: Many players record on their talli only the points made by their side and disregard the points made bj the opponents entirely. That is not the correct play to score at progres sive parties and is not according to| the rules of the game. i xe * A properly designed tally provides | spaces for both “My Score” and “Op-| ponents’ Score.” Both entries should | be made at each round and when the game is over both columns should be added separately. A credit of 250 Points is gives for each round won and added directly into “My Score.” If “My Score” is larger than “Op- ponents’ Score,” then I have a net plus score for the entire game, while if “Opponents’ Score” is greater, then I have a net minus score. The player having the highest net plus score wins the prize. Doubles and redoubles should be permitted at bridge parties, but no side may score more than 1000 points on one deal., However, the full amount of loss should be scored by the losing side. In cases where a slam is bid and either made or defeated, this limit does not apply. (Copyright, 1932, NEA Service, Inc.)

Thompson, Washburn, who will take office as superintendent of public instruction in January, and Miss Bertha R. Palmer, present in- cumbent, joined Wednesday in op- Position to reduce state aid to com- mon schools as proposed by the state budget board. Thompson said the movement is a “blow to the morale of our schools,” and Miss Palmer called it “a severe blow to education in North Dakota.” Thompson's statement follows: “It is to be regretted that the bud- get board found it necessary to rec- ommend that the state aid for schools be cut from $680,000 to $44,820. This means 90 per cent. “It is regretted since the schools that will possibly be denied this aid represent a total investment of about two per cent of the total wealth of the state. This aid has been promised to the schools and cutting it so much is a blow to the morale of our schools.” Says Aid Justified . Miss Palmer said: “This financial encouragement to schools is given as a special help to meet those requirements which make for a good school, that is, length of term, trained teachers, regular at- tendance of pupils, and necessary equipment including reference and textbooks, and provisions for heating, |lighting, and ventilating. “The regular school term in North Dakota, is but seven months, which allows a long vacation in which to orget the instruction received. The te aid often makes it possible for hese schools to continue the extra month or two. “Over a period of thirty years, state aid has increased the number of schools meeting the requirements of time, teachers, attendance, and equip- ment from less than 200 to more than 2,000 or about one-third of all the schools in the state. In that time the average term has increased from 119 days to 168 days and the attendance from 62 per cent of enrollment to 82 per cent of the enrollment. “The National Education association | has just released a startling bit of news. The United States spends one and one half billion dollars a year to care for its 500,000 criminals, This is $3,000 per year per prisoner.
