Y., Aug. 28—(?) —President Rocsevelt Monday di- rected the Reconstruction Fi- nance corporation to establish a medium for quick and temporary wedit to the member firms of the NRA to span them over the per- lod between increased overhead and later returns. Washington, Aug. 28.—(P)}—NRA volunteers—1,500,000 strong—opened ‘Tuesday, under Hugh 8. Johnson's mandate “we cannot afford to fail,” ‘a campaign to implant the Blue Eagle in every business house and in mil- lions of homes. Speeding this “greatest corps of vol- unteers in the country’s history” .on its door-to-door canvass, Johnson told his workers and the country that “either through codes or agreements we enter this drive between 70 and 80 per cent of the employers in trade and industry already under the Blue Eagle.” The recovery administrator describ- ed the drive as “a milestone, in hu- man progress, explaining: “For the first time the American people have a chance to test in busi- ness a principle that they long ago proved in government. That prin- ciple is the trite old slogan, ‘In Union ‘There Is Strength’.” “Buy under the Blue Eagle” was -the watchword set by Johnson for his, volunteers after warning that. “ & shadow” of “boycott, intimi! and violence . . . would spoil this whole endeavor.” He added! Not a Boycott “But there must not be the’ slight- est misunderstanding. It is not a boy- cott for the people of a distressed country to say they are going to stick to those who do their part to cure a common evil and to ignore those who refuse to do so. To do otherwise would be to frustrate the national Purpose...” When Johnson made his address Sunday night he had just completed one of the NRA’s biggest tasks and was deep in critical negotiations to try for completion of a second. The first was the automobile code which, now signed by President Roosevelt, will be binding upon all that indus- try, except the Ford Company, on September 5, the day after Labor Day. Ford, virtually the only non-signer, will have a further 10-day period to determine his course. The second task was the attempt to secure an agreement between non- union coal operators and union labor upon a code for all the bituminous fields. ‘Negotiations were at a stand- still with both sides looking to Presi- dent Roosevelt and Johnson for the next move. The administration has the power—heretofore unused—to im- Pose a code if no agreement is reached. 09 ARE CLAIMED BY ST. LOUIS EPIDEMIC Insect Similar to Tse-Tse Fly, African Disease Carrier, Is Reported St. Louis, Aug. 28—(P)—St. Louis children will tuck their books under their arms and go to school Sept. 5, despite the epidemic of “sleeping sickness’ which Monday had taken 39 lives and affected 265 patients. Dr. Henry Gerling, superintendent of instruction, said he found that comparatively few children had been attacked by encephalitis, and that even if the epidemic should spread further, the children would receive better protection from the malady in the schoolroom than in their homes. Sixty-one physicians and nurses employed by the board of education will be on the watch when school opens, he said, and will cooperate with federal, state and city health Officials in fighting the disease. Epidemiologists studying the (is- ease, had before them a report of William Godin, St. Louis resident, who said he saw in his yard an in- sect similar to the Tse-Tse fly, which is the carrier of sleeping sickness in Africa. Godin said he spent some time in Bo! where he saw Tse- ‘Tse flies, and it the insect in his yard strongly resembled the African insect. TO DISCUSS LIQUOR.

Falconers Will Celebrate 50th Wedding Anniversary ANTI-PROHITIONISTS IN WASHINGTON ARE WORRIED OVER VOTE No Provision Made For ‘Will of Majority’; Texas Joins Repeal States (By The Qssociated Press) Anti-prohibitionists, having tucked ‘Teas away in their fold, turned their; attention Monday to the state of| itton | Washington, which ‘votes on~ repeal Tuesday.

The Lone Star state was the 23rd in a row to approve repeal. If Washing-| ton follows the example, the repeal drive will be two-thirds of the way to its goal. J.C. Herbsman of Seattle, who| heads the campaign of his state's as- sociation for repeal of the 18th amendment. said, however, that there was “grave danger” of a prohibition victory in Washington unless repeal- ists record a heavy vote. He charged that the legislature, in requiring a referendum through each of 46 legis- ! lative districts rather than for the{ state at large, failed to provide for an expression of the “will of the ma- jority.” Prohibitionists praised the arrangements as fair. Besides Washington, 14 other states | set definite dates for repeal refer- enda this year. Says No Court Will Mutiny Against NRA Grand Rapids, Mich., Aug. 28—(?)— Patrick H. O'Brien, attorney general ot Michigan, told delegates to the an- nual meeting of the National Associa- tion of Attorneys General in a pre- pared address Monday, that no court in the United States will dare set aside President Roosevelt's recovery Program. Attorney General O’Brien declared that the national industrial recovery act “offends. against all the cherished constitutional maxims relating to due process of law and the taking of pri- vate property for public use without just_ compensation. “With the Blue Eagle of the na- tional recovery act flowing from her masthead, the ship of state is sailing unchartered seas,” he satd. “With the President at the wheel, congress and the court must function as able sea- men. Where is the court that will attempt to mutiny? Where is the court that will attempt by injunction to scuttle the ship?” » “Democracy is on the march,” he declared, “the courts of this country always will be respected as they al- no court will be allowed to stand in not court will be allowed to stand in the path of progress toward a more just and equitable social system.” Dies From Injuries Received in Mishap Floyd Wilson, 30, injured in a mine accident near Underwood last Wed- nesday, died Saturday, according information received here.

Miller, rector of the Episcopal church. A dinner followed. Wore Pale Blue Gown The wedding gown was made of pale blue corded silk on the severe jbut elegant lines characteristic of , modes in the early 80's. The material had been bought by the bride's fath- er on a trip east the previous winter and had been intended for a party | frock, but Mrs. Falconer had in mind |@ better use for it and saved it for her | wedding day. Mr. Falconer was chief clerk in the Robert MacNider store at the time of his marriage and was described in the Bismarck Daily Tribune of Aug. 29, 1883, as a young man of “industry and brilliant promise.” He was the son of Mrs. Jane Fal- Territory, July 28, 1874.

R., and has served as president of both the local chapter of American War Mothers and the unit of the American Legion Aux- illary. She also has been department. rehabilitation chairman for the Auxi- lary. - Most impressive of the changes time has brought to Bismarck is the vehicle bridge across the Missouri river, Mr. and Mrs. Falconer said Monday. To them the spanning of this barrier, so that a crossing former- ly inconvenient and fraught with danger can be accomplished in a few moments, is typical of the progress which transformed Bismarck from a frontier village into a thriving city.

RESTRICT FARMERS TO SEVEN USES FOR ABANDONED ACREAGE Rules For Former Wheat Land Are Announced By Agri- cultural Department Farmers who take land out of pro- duction under the terms of the wheat. allotment contract may do any one or all of seven things with it, accord- ing to information received here Mon- day from Chester C. Davis, director of production for the Agricultural Adjustment Administration. These are as follows: 1, Permit it to Me unplanted. 2. Summer fallow it. 3. Plant it to permanent pasture. 4. Plant it to meadow crops. 5. Practice weed control on it. 6. Plant forest trees. 7. Plant soil-improvement crops. Restrictions as to use of abandon- ed wheat land was made necessary by the law which specifies that it may not be turned to the production of any. nationally-produced. agricultural commodity now commonly offered for sale. Feed crops authorized to be planted must be devoted to home consumption, as must livestock fed with them. Notation is made that land planted to permanent pasture is not eligible as contracted acreage during the second year and other acres must be ichosen and used in such manner as to conform to the terms of the wheat allotment contract. Acres planted to meadow crops, such as clover, timothy or alfalfa, also is not eligible as contracted acreage dur- ing the second year. Where it is plant- ed for only one year as part of a crop rotation program it is eligible. Soil-improvement crops are those, such as soybeans, cowpeas, vetch, rye, field peas and certain clovers, which are designed to be plowed under in order to enrich the soil.

A coroner’s jury at an inquest here Saturday afternoon decided that the man came to his death accidentally. The body was sent to Maglison upon advice of a mortician from that city, communicating for a brother and sis- ter of the dead man, who reside there. A communication from the Nor- wegian consul at Grand Forks, where the deceased had made his home for several years, stated that he had searched a trunk belonging to Marks there and discovered he had a sister living in Norway and a brother and sister in Madison. A letter was dis- covered from the sister in Norway among his effects. Records in the consul’s office show- ed Marks was born in Norway 35 years ago.

The initial stage of the drive con- | sists of a checkup of what business houses have signed the recovery | agreement and what they have done to justify the blue eagle emblems in their windows, This information will be listed on a questionnaire, designed by the Bis- marck NRA committee and the in- formation so obtained will be tabulat- ed in order that Bismarck may know | what the agreement has accomplished | here toward increasing employment | and raising wages. ! Questions listed are: “Have you) signed the president’s N. R. A. agree- ment; are you observing its terms as/ to minimum wages, maximum hours | of employment, prices, etc.; how many people did you employ prior to the inauguration of the N. R. A. move ment; how many do you now employ; how many hours per week did you keep your place of business open prior to August 1; how many now.” The canvassers will report Wednes- day morning at the Association of Commerce and the work of compil- ing the data obtained will be started at that time. Will Ask All to Help ‘The next step, to be taken later in the week, will consist of a city-wide campaign designed to place each householder under the eagle emblem. In house-to-house _ canvass each consumer will be asked to sign a pledge to buy only from merchants and manufacturers who have com- plied with the terms of the presi- dent's code, The exact manner in which the| house-to-house solicitation will be staged has not been determined but H. P. Goddard, secretary of the Aso- | sociation of Commerce and member of the general NRA committee for the | northwest, said it would be done this} week and that plans will be an-| nounced later. The local organization also will set up a committee to hear and investi- gate complaints growing out of the NRA effort. It is considered likely that some may actually attempt to “chisel” the code and that others may be unjustly accused of so doing. The committee on complaints will be charged with the task of separating the sheep from the goats. In general charge of the city drive is @ committee of seven with Mayor A. P. Lenhart as chairman. Other members are H. W. Griffith, G. A. Dahlen, E. B, Klein, J. L. Barth, #.

FOUR FIREMEN DIE IN TERRIFIC BLAST Spontaneous Combustion Ad-/ vanced as Case of Tragedy At What Cheer, la. What Cheer. Ia., Aug. 28—()— Spontaneous combustion was ad- vanced Monday as the cause of a terrific blast which hurled four vol- unteer firemen through the roof of @ two-story brick building to their death here early Sunday. State Fire Marshal John Strohm came here to conduct an investiga- tion Monday. The firemen were killed as they battered their way into the burning grocery store operated by D.C. Math- ers. Otto Burhn, 80, operator of a meat market in the building, sustained a fractured skull. The blast caught him as he reached the front door on his way to get money and valu- ables in his safe. The blast toppled over a fire wall which caved in the roof of an adja- cent brick building, unoccupied, and wrecked the chemical wagon of the What Cheer fire department. Aid from nearby towns prevented the) blaze from sweeping through the en- | tire business block. The grocery store was destroyed. The loss was estimated at approxi- mately $15,000, partially covered by insurance. | The president, of course, stood by jhis secretary of state. Upon his re- |turn Moley was transferred to a spe- cial assignment to study kidnaping | and racketeering. He has been on that from the state department. Local Steers Bring | Top Price on Market! Burleigh county steers have again| topped the livestock market at Chi- cago, according to information re-; the Stockmen’s Livestock Commission company, Chicago. The animals were fattened by Eu- gene Wachter of the Wachter Trans- fer company on home-grown feed and averaged 1519 pounds. They were sold Aug. 23 for $6.75 per 100 pounds, which McGurk said was the extreme top for that day. McGurk said the cattle brought a premium because of their smooth- ness, since heavy cattle frequently become “gobby” or “horsey,” the lat- ter being a term common in the live- stock trade. In addition to the steers, Wachter, who accompanied the shipment, sold some cows for $3.50 and $4.25 per 100 pounds. Shipping with Wachter was Eugene | Small, who marketed a string of) black steers, averaging 1,240 pounds each, at $6.65. Smal] also sold some cows at $3.75 and $4.50 per 100 pounds.

POLLOCK, BISMARCK PIONEER, SUCCUMBS IN CITY > Came to Yankton in 1873; Ac- companied General Custer on Fort Rice Expedition John C. Pollock, 82, one of Bis- marck’s earliest pioneers, passed away Saturday afternoon at the family re- sidence at 623 Tenth St. Death was due to paralysis and complications, Pollock was born Nov. 26, 1851, at Racine, Wis. He came to Dakota Ter- ritory in the spring of 1873 and was at Yankton, 8. D., during the big blizzard in April of that year when General Custer and the Seventh cav- alry were snowed in. He drove one of Custer’s six-mule teams from Yank- ton to Fort Rice latet in the spring. Mrs. Custer accompanied her husband on the march and often rode beside the wagon Pollock was driving. After the expedition reached Fort Rice Pollock came to Bismarck in June and worked at old fort Abraham Lincoln during the summer on con- struction of fort buildings. He work- ed for Charles W. Thompson on the | Col. Thompson ranch north of Bis- marck in 1874. Pollock homesteaded ; 'and took a tree claim in Hay Creek township, the grove on his tree claim being the first trees set out in Bur- leigh county. The grove was north of Fairview cemetery. He was married Nov. 13. 1880, to Jane O’Brien, who had come to Bis- marck in July, 1872. Ten children were born to them, five of whom are living. Pollock suffered a paralytic stroke in January, 1920, and has been an invalid since.

While one group in the agriculture department sought to speed up the campaign to reduce American wheat acreage, from another came word that two of the nation’s largest producing areas will have vast “exportable sur- plus” this year—the Pacific northwest and the southwest. The export movement of wheat has slowed down to a mere trickle com- pared with years past and doubts have arisen whether the wheat acre- age reduction plan will offset unoffi- cial reports that farmers not joining in it contemplate inoreasing their Production, Reports are coming to farm admin- \istrators that many farmers, tempted by better prices for wheat and the drafting of both national and inter- national policies to improve the posi- | tion of wheat growers, hope to “cash by expanding their production. | Withhold Subsidy Plan Pending a study of the London |agreement, administrators are with- holding a decision on their plans for subsidizing exports of the grain. They have looked to China as an outlet but still another group reported that “there is no immediate interest in buying foreign wheat” there. The bureau of agricultural econo- mics estimated the “exportable sur- plus” at 161,000,000 bushels, most of it in the Pacific northwest and south- west, after allowing 125,000,000 bushels as a minimum carryover after domes- tic needs have been met from the po- tential supply. It would have been much higher except that this year’s crop, the lowest since 1893, is estimat- ed at less than 500,000,000 bushels. The July 1 carryover was 386,000,000.
