PRICE FIVE CENTS U.S. Grain Exchanges Closed Post Heading Home After Forced Landing RESUMES LONG TRIP FROM ALASKAN TOWN AFTER SHORT SLEEP Will Refuel At Fairbanks Before Starting Overland Hop to Edmonton CONFIDENT OF NEW MARK Undercarriage and Propeller of Ship Damaged in Coming Down Thursday * BULLETIN Fairbanks, Alaska—Wiley Post landed here at 10:22 a. m, Alas- kan time... Fiat, Alaska, July 21—(?)—Wiley Post, Oklahoman flier, resumed his aerial jaunt around the world at 7:28 a. m. Fairbanks time, (11:28 @. m. central standard time.) Joe Crosson, Alaskan pilot, who brought a new propeller for Post's plane from Fairbanks, circled over the field here at 7:25 a. m., and three minutes later Post joined him in the air. Both planes headed east for Fairbanks where Post will refuel for his flight to. Edmonton, Alberta. The weather was good. Post was due in Fairbanks in less than three hours as it is only 375 miles away. If all goes well, he still can set a new globe-girdling record. When Post passed ‘over Nome at. 8:30 a. m., Fairbanks time (2:30 p. m., C. 8. T.), Thursday he had a lead of more than 30 hours on the time to that point two years ago. Although he lost some time here he still was ahead of the old record. The flight to Edmonton is over mountainous country, but Post con- siders it like “going down hill” as he is quite familiar with the route and weather conditions are likely to be better. At Fairbanks preparations had been made for a quick refueling of the Winnie Mae and Post was expected to be soon speeding toward Edmont 1,450 miles away. The Edmonton-New York leg, the final one of his charted route, is 2,200 miles. Post expressed the opinion he would still “break that record” of eight days, 15 hours and 51 minutes which he and Harold Gatty set in their 1931 globe-circling flight, if his ship was repaired sufficiently for him to get away Friday morning. He hopped off from New York at 4:10 a. m., (eastern standard time) last Sat- urday, July 15. 4,000 Miles From Goal The Oklahoman was only 4,000 miles from his goal, New’ York; when he landed after a 22-hour battle with the elements on his flight from ‘Si+ beria, He was undaunted by his plane nosing over in a stiff cross wind when he finally glided down to earth at the| airport here at 3:30: p. m.,: Fairbanks time (8:30 p. m. easterin standard time) yesterday. The propeller was croken and the landing gear was tamaged. He was unhurt himself, although »xtremely nervous and exhausted.

C. Turner whose term expired July 1. The change will be made September 1. On motion of Mrs. Jennie Ulsrud, the five members of the board voted unanimously for the appointment of Patterson. In discussions among board members, prior to the vote, Nel- son Sauvain, chairman of the board, ind R. M. Rishworth, brought out that the appointment had been considered of a political nature in the past and said if the three other members were agreed they would express no opposi- tion. Rishworth then seconded the mo- tion to appoint Patterson. Super- intendent ‘of Public Instruction A. E. Thompsqn and Commissioner of Agri- culture and Labor John Husby, ex- officio members of the board, joined the three appointive members in ap- proving the appointment. It was also brought out at the meet- ing that Patterson was the choice of Governor William Langer. While applications for other posi- tions have been: received by the board, Sauvain explained that the warden appoints his assistants without con- firmation necessary from the board. ‘These applications, he said, are be- ing turned over to the warden. Turner has served as warden of the penitentiary since 1929. He came from Stark county where he had been éoun- ty treasurer and sheriff, and regis- trar and receiver of the U. 8. Land Office at Dickinson. He served four terms In ‘the legislature as a repre- sentative from Stark county. ‘The board of administration will meet again next Wednesday July 26, at wich time it is expected the ap- Roosevelt’s Son to Be Married Saturday ELLIOTT ROOSEVELT fd MISS RUTH GOOGINS | teenth to approve reapeal on the face Burlington, Iowa, July 21.—(#)—]George C.

Lowe who awarded C. F. Tickfer a judgment against the In- vestment corporation of Fargo in connection with repossession of the Plaintiff's automobile. When Tickfer defaulted in his pay- ments the Investment corporation took possession of the car in James- town and removed it to Fargo. Tick- fer instituted action, alleging the car was taken “through a species of arti- fice or fraud.” Judgment was entered for Tickfer in Stutsman county district court, with the value of the car fixed at $850 and damages for detention at $125. The Investment corporation ap- pealed to the supreme court which granted a new trial to be limited to the issues by which a judgment should be entered giving Tickfer possession of the car on payment of the balance remaining due, with interest.

D., July 21— (®)—Fifty-one hours after he strayed away from his parents farmhouse here, three-year-old Alfred Cornell was found by mem- bers of a searching crew two miles north of his home. The child was none the worse for his experience and explained away his disappearance since 3 P. m. Tuesday with the comment. “I like it.” He was found at 6:30 Pp. m. Thursday night. The child was obtaining a drink from a waterhole when he was approached. He greeted searchers cheerfully. Hundreds of men and women from Watford City and vicinity had searched through the Bad Lands country of the Little Missouri since Wednesday. Following his disappearance, Alfred's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Cornell, and their 10 other children searched for the tot. The next day Cornell came to Watford City and enlisted aid.

TREASURY {Tax Produced $13,750,000 in dune and $11,530,000 in May, Report Shows Washington, July 21.—()—Legal beer is sold now and new revenue flows into the treasury as a result of fulfillment of that part of the Dem- ccratic platform which called for modification of the Volstead act. The brew has a limitation by law to an alcoholic content of 3.2 by weight or 4 per cent by volume, and is taxed $5 8 barrel. brought to the treasury over $13,750,- 000 from taxation of beer and on brewers and dealers, and more than $11,530,000 in May, Congress also has removed virtually all restriction on orescription of Mquor for medical purposes. The law now allows issuance ‘of all the liquor considered necessary to meet the needs of a patient and elim- inates the requirement that a doctor name the illness in the prescription. With encouargement from the President, an active campaign to speed repeal of the 18th amendment is being conducted by Postmaster General Farley. He sets a December deadline for reaching his goal. Designed to save $25,000,000 each year, an executive order has been is- sued for consolidation of the present bureau of internal revenue and bu- reau of industrial alcohol in the treas- ury department, and of the investi- gatory functions. of the prohibition bureau into a division of investigation in the justice department. The prohibition bureau has directed its agents to concentrate on big viola - tors and leave speakeasies to the states for prosecution. At first congress reduced the appro- Priation from more than $9,000,000 requested to about $8,000,000 and this was reduced by the budget director by around $4,000,000. Flour Is Down on Mill City Market Minneapolis, Minn., July 21.—-()— BiG LEAGUE STYLE Arrange For Capacity Crowd At Championship Baseball Games Next Week Decision to stage ‘a big league event in big league style” was reached ‘Thursday night by the American Le- gion committee in charge of arrange- ments for the. Junior American League baseball tournament which will be held here next Friday, Satur- day and Sunday. One of the: reasons for the deter- mination to make the baseball tour- nament the best in the history of these state championship games, it developed at the meeting, was-a de- \ sire the part of local legionnaires to ‘dionstrate real sportsmanship or the: part of the local legion post after the “steam-rolling’: whioh -it receiv- ed.at the recent state convention of the veterans at Williston. At that gathering delegates of the local post charged that they were treated unfairly by the “state organ- | zation” of the Legion under the lead- jetship of Jack Williams, Fargo, state radjutant.. Their desire now is to “show the Fargo crowd” what Bis- jmarck can do, according to Walter |Sather, local’ postmaster and com- j mittee chairman. Arrangements were made Thursday i jeovenant with President Roosevelt to Figures released Friday show June/ Falling in sympathy with sharply re- ceding wheat futures the last two days, flour was off 85 cents Friday, bring the reduction since Tuesday to $1.55 a barrel. Family patent flour was quoted at $7.45 to $7.55 a barrel compared to Thursday's figure of $8.30 to $8.40. Tuesday this flour brought $9.00 to $9.10. Bakers flour was off 70 cents, \standard patents being quoted at $7.05-7.15 or a $1.35 drop from Tues- day's price when that grade was Priced at $8.¢0-8.50.

Entertainment Planned | It is probable that a banquet for 'team members and coaches will be iheld Friday night, the veterans decid- ling to ask the Association of Com- jmerce to cooperate in staging this feature. Arrangements were being made Friday to take the visitors to the state jcapitol building, the visit to include a trip to the top of this structure. Frank Anders, secretary of the cap- itol commission, informed R. J. post commander, that state officials will extend every cooperation and will assign a man to the job of telling the visitors about the mammoth structure. ‘The capitol visit probably will cul- minate a motor trip about the city Saturday morning for which arrange- ments are to be made within the next few days. The committee decided to limit the admission to 25 cents for a single ad- mission to all games, including the championship contest on Sunday af- ternoon, July 30. It is probable that 1a flag-raising ceremony will precede | the opening and that prominent pub- ilic officials will form the “starting battery” to pitch and catch the first ball. Children under 16 years will be ad- mitted to all games for a 10-cent cl harge. Band concerts will form a part of the program for Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Interest in the games, in which the flower of 500 junior North Dakota teams will take part, is increasing rapidly, Sather said, and arrange- ments are being made to handle the largest crowd ever to watch a base- ball game in Bismarck. The low ad- mission fee was decided upon in order to give everyone a chance to see the games at small cost. Among the features new to the championship contests this year will be the selection of an all-state team from among the players in the tour- nament. The selections will be made | by coaches and officials on the basis | of the showings made in games Friday and Saturday.

To more than 5,000,000 employers. was addressed a request from the president to join his national recoy- ery administration in a mass attack on the depression by voluntary agree- ments to lift wages and shorten hours. ‘To the public went an open appeal for cooperation “by supporting and patronizing employers and workers who are members of the N.

Powerfully driving this war-like plan for unifying the country in cre- ating re-employment was a carefully mapped “campaign of education” that brusque Hugh 8. Johnson said will “saturate the country with the dope on this thing.” President Roosevelt himself will take to the people the plan he and Johnson agreed upon finally late ‘Thursday night. ‘The heart of the plan: Every employer will receive through the mail July 27 an agreement ad- dressed to him by President Roose- velt. Upon signing, this binds him to maintain a fixed minimum wage and Lnot toexceed a fixed maximum work week during “the president's emer- gency re-employment drive” from Aug. 1 to Dec. 1. Here Is the ‘The basic hours, labor and wages: Child labor outlawed. $14 to $15 a week minimum and a) 40-hour week for so-called white collar labor. 30 to 40 cents an hour minimum for a 35-hour week and an eight-hour day maximum for factory and me- chanical labor.

We Do Our Part.” ‘This badge may be displayed on all equipment, goods, communications and premises. The signer may ap- peal for adjustments if a hardship is worked. “We're going to appeal to the pub- le to support the people who agree,” Johnson said. “I believe we can create a psychology stronger than in war. We already have the churches and fraternal societies lined up.” For every consumer who wishes to cooperate and become a member of the N. R. A. there will be a badge issued upon signing of this state- ment: “I will cooperate in re-employment by supporting and patronizing em- ployers and workers who are mem- bers of N. R.

The holiday on grain futures trade Was approved by Secretary of Agri- culture Wallace as a “sound move in the right direction.” Following the close of the market Thursday, which saw grains slip as much as 2613 cents and July and Sep- tember wheat toboggan to 90 cents at Chicago, speedy action was taken ta impose daily limits on price fluctua- tions. Following the action of the Chicage Board of Trade, Kansas City, St Louis, Minneapolis and Dultuh were quick to fall in line and take a holi- WOULD CLOSE STOCK MART London, July 21.—(#)—Com- menting on the suspension of American grain exchanges, Prime Minister R.

Shaft held the classes of invest- ments listed in the statute are ex- clusive “and that no assets of a build- ing and loan association may be in- vested in or exchanged for securi- ties of any other nature unless and until specifically authorized by law.” A 1931 law, he said, permits invest- ment of assets in the stock, bonds, and obligations of the federal home loan bank, “but it is quite clear that the Home Owners’ Loan corporation is entirely separate and distinct from the federal home loan bank.” The contention has been made, Shaft wrote, that the bonds of the Home Owners’ Loan corporation are obligations of the United States. A section of the home owners’ act of 1933, he explained, discloses that such bonds are the obligations of the Home Owners’ Loan corporation only, ex- cept that the interest is guaranteed by the United States. “It is there- fore apparent that these bonds do not constitute obligations of the United States.” City Will Cooperate In Employment Drive A committee to direct a campaign of education and organization locally in conjunction with the federal drive; to réduce unemployment will be ap- pointed by the Bismarck Association of Commerce at the request of Gen- eral Hugh 8. Johnson, public works chieftain. H. P. Goddard, secretary of the local association, received a request to that effect from General Johnson Friday afternoon and said the Capi- tal City association is willing to co- operate in the nation-wide move- ment. Johnson sent similar requests to all chambers of commerce in cities with population of 10,000 or more. It is probable that all such local committees in North Dakota, as well as county groups, will come under supervision of James C. Taylor of route.

The comparative quiet of the trading floor was in strange con- trast with the uproar of Thursday. Brokers clerks worked many hours checking their records. A few transactions were taken care of in the cash market, mainly busi- ness that had to be cleared on newly- arrived shipments. ‘The Winnipeg market was open as usual, as was Liverpool, and the chief activity of those who “talked shop” was in watching tickers carrying quo- tations from these market centers.
