DECLINE SHOWN BY FUND COLLECTIONS OF WORKMEN'S BODY| Sree» seemes— Amount Taken in Lowest in Last Seven Years Says Wenzel in Report Premium collections by the Work- men’s Compensation Bureau for April were the lowest for any month in the last seven years, according to figures announced Monday by R. E. Wenzel, chairman of the bureau. April premium collections totaled $16,384.77, compared with $25,970.68 tor July, 1932, the previous low mark. The actual underwriting shortage for the first four months of 1933 is now’ $40,000, the total premium re- ceipts being $130,494.96 and the com- pensation payments $170,281.80, Wen- zel said, “tI 1s quite apparent,” Wenzel com- mented, “that a great deal of this drop-off is the result of the special affidavits justifying low payroll esti- mates for the succeeding 12 months. In this connection, may I respectfully Suggest that employers are do! themselves no service if such affi- davits should later prove to be faulty. By swearing to unjustifiably low esti- mates, the fund’s losses for the first half of 1933 may show at such a large figure as to bring upon the whole group of employers rate increases that ‘would not otherwise have been neces- “The board, of course, has taken the Precaution of requiring quarterly re- ports of actual payroll where the de-| suit. tailed affidavits for low estimates in- dicated they might not prove out. New Tates, however, will have to go into effect in July and there isn’t much Possibility of assembling the figures for the purpose of disclosing changed conditions by that time. The more re- liably employers can supply payroll information for the advance 12 months period the more likely are we to avoid undue rate fluctuations.” State Senator Cain Addresses Local K. C.

McKENNEY Seoretary, American Bridge League Sacrifice bidding often brings about an interesting angle in tournament play. Take for example the follow- ing hand—while the bidding is not ‘unusual, the results were rather spec- tacular. I want especially to call your attention to the play of the club suit. The Bidding South was the dealer and passed, as did West, but North opened with one heart. North had only one and! one-half high card tricks but he had @ two-suit hand and a void. It isa hand which we feel justifies a third hand bid. East has an ideal negative double— that is, he has a good spade suit. Generally it is not advisable to dou- ble one major unless you can support the other. South, being void of spades and having five hearts, can make a con- structive re-double. West should re- spond with one spade. North passed, East bid two spades and South three hearts. West now showed his second ‘suit LA heres? Sn int North felt necessary for his side to take a sacrifice, as they were ing | not vulnerable, and showed his sec- ond suit by bidding five clubs. East bid five spades and South bid six hearts, fully prepared to go down. West and North passed and East doubled. West passed, as he felt that he had a possible heart trick. The Play East opened a spade which was ruffed in dummy. A diamond was ruffed in the declarer’s hand, and he had to elect how to play the club the North Dakota workmen's compen- tN! @ EXPEDTS | PLAY ——EXPERTS PLAY IT ee ete ees ee cere ee | reat up the soil moisture and pro- 4Q-7-3 VA-Q-8-7-2 @None J-8-6-5.4 Q-9-6-5 &A-Q-7-3 If the clubs split 2-2 there was nothing to worry about, but if they split 3-1 and the three were in the East hand, the declarer had a chance to make all of the club tricks, but only by one play. He must lead the jack of clubs, depending upon the nine or ten being a singleton in the West hand. Therefore the proper play was not @ small club, but the jack of clubs. Now when East covered with the king, declarer played the ace from dummy and West’s ten dropped. A heart was led and the finesse taken. The ace of hearts picked up West’s king and now all the declarer had to do was to cross-ruff the hand out, finessing East out of his nine of clubs. Not only was the contract of six odd made, but: the declarer had made a grand slam. sation bureau, who is president of the international organization. ‘Wenzel will be toastmaster at the banquet in the evening of Sept. 11 at which the three notables will speak.

Statistician’s office at April weather was favorable to livestock and range conditions as no severe storms were experienced dur- ing the month. All parts of the state have had sufficient rainfall for rapid growth of vegetation. The mean temperature for the month was 40.6 degrees which is slightly lower than the normal of 40.9 degrees, Precipi- tation was light, amounting to only ‘72 per cent of normal or a total rain- fall of 1.16 inches as compared with @ normal of 1.61 inches. This.indicates an accumulated deficiency since Jan- uary first of 0.70 of an inch. The averages are taken from the reports by the weather stations at Moorhead, Bismarck, Devils Lake and Williston. Heavy rains at the end of the month of April averted a delay in starting the grass to grow. Breeding cows, according to 70 per cent of the reports, are in fair to good condition, which is an improvement over what they were a month ago and better than a year ago. Breeding ewes also are in good condition, much better than a year ago. Range prospects are generally fav- orable in the state, especially since the recent rain which has done much mote grass growth. Tame hay mea- dows indicate a condition of 65 per cent of normal compared with 70 per cent @ year ago.

We have made a complete turn-around, and at last America's face is toward the futures Three years---1929 to 1932---we Americans looked backward. au our old financial and political machinery was geared to pull us cut of the depression by the same door through which we entered. We thought it simply a case of going back the way we came. It failed. We now realize that the way out is forward---through it. Thanks for that belongs to President Roosevelt. Inauguration Day he turned the Ship of State around. Having observed the failure of sincere efforts to haul us back the way we came, he designed a new method---new political and financial machinery---to pull us out the way we are going---forward. He is clearing international obstacles out of the way; he does not stand in awe of tariffs. The people begin to feel that he does not take advice from the ‘inter= ests"; that he has courage and loyalty to work for one supreme interest only---the welfare of the American people. That is a pig achievement for two months in office. And now we all look to what is coming; we grow less and less concerned with what is behind. We are looking for a handhold on the haul rope. Every man wants to do what he can, and all he cane: The best thing I can do for the Country is to create industry by building good motor cars. If I knew anything better to do, I would do it. Industry must be my contribution. Motor cars must face ahead to the future, like everything else. They are so mich & part of the Nation's daily life that if they lag behind they hola the Country back. CSLCY; Gold x THE CIGARETTE THAT'S MILDER ~ THE CIGARETTE THAT TASTES BETTER
