The message was communicated Sunday to a mass through Norman H. Davis, represent- ing this government at the arma- Hsits conference, The state department said the mes- sage had been written in Washington on October 13, which was before Ger- many’s sudden withdrawal from the arms conference and the League of Nations. The text of the letter addressed by, Davis to Lord Cecil of Great Britain in connection with the mass meeting held in Geneva to express world pub- lic opinion in favor of disarmament follows: “The secretary of state, on behalf of the president, wishes me to convey to you his sympathetic interest in the mass meeting which is to take place on Sunday and to express his belief that this imposing demonstration of ths aspirations of millions who are looking to the conference to take a decisive step toward reducing arma- ments will constitute a solemn re- minder to the representatives of the nations of the world that they must not allow the conference to fail. “Fortified with the knowledge that world opinion is backing them in their difficult task, they should re- double their efforts to overcome the obstacles which are still blocking their path and bring about the con- structive achievement which mankind confidently awaits.” U. 8S. to Take Sideline ‘The United States was described of- ficlally Monday as heading toward a side line role for the next three or tour days in the situation created by Germany at. the disarmament confer- ence, but to be ready to lend assist- — to any effort to adjust the situa- ulon, At the state department Undersec- retary Phillips said no new instruc- REPARATRICE MRR NO ee Where Lower Berths Are Sky- An innovation in air travel was High launched when an eastern airline installed berths in the giant Condor planes in night service between Atlanta and New York.

Ba BETTER Te OF TREASURERS [8 TUNELL'S DEMAND; ! Head of Bonding Department Says Shortage Gan Be Pre- vented by a Little Care Better auditing by punts, city and school officials has n demanded by Fred Tunell, manager of the state bonding department in a letter sent to them recently. Most short- ages that have been discovered in the accounts of treasurers of political subdivisions could have been pre- vented if the boards had reconciled the bank statements with the reports of the treasurers and auditors, Tu- nell stated. While some of the claims filed against the department in the past ave on bonds of defaulting officials ave been for large sums, the num- ber of claims filed has been remark- ably small in comparison with other years, he said. In many cases where shortages have been discovered in school treas- urers’ accounts, settlements have been made which relieved the state bond- ing fund of liability, Tunell de- clared. About a year ago a letter was sent by the ey eben e pane Officers and county) su suggesting that the epee ri ‘school treasurers be reconciled with bank statements. As a result a beetieed if treasurers were found to be sh their accounts, but since that. time very few claims have been filed with the department. The letter recently mailed to city, county and school of- ficials may have an equally beneficial result, Tunell said. Prior to 1923 the bank examiners office was required to check accounts of cities and ‘villages, but the law was changed making it the duty of city and village boards to pey for their own audits, As a result many of them had not been audited by com- petent accountants for years and in many instances when an audit was made, a shortage was found, he said. BIBLE CONFERENCE IS CLOSED SUNDAY Funeral Without Christ Is Hor- rible Drama, Rev. A. W. Knock Says “The most horrible drama I have ever seen is a funeral without Christ as the source of comfort to the mourners,” Rev. A. 'W. Knock of the Lutheran Bible Institute of Minne- apolis said here Sunday afternoon as he closed a four-day Bible confer- ence, ‘The series of four meetings was be- gun Thursday evening, sponsored Jointly by the First Lutheran church and Trinity Lutheran church of the Capital City. “Because the life in His name can- not die for eternity, the death of a child of God is the source of joy to the bereaved and not a time of sor- tow,” Rev. Knock said. The final session was devoted to the study of the 11th chapter of John. “The greatest sign Jesus ever per- formed to prove that He was the son of God was His own resurrection,” the speaker said. “Second only to that sign was the raising of Lazarus from the dead.” “Accept Christ at His own word and you will know that you are saved,” Rev. Knock said at the Sat- urday night conference. The speaker insisted that we “must dispel two common philosophi¢s—first, that we cannot know until after death; and that salvation is a matter to be taken ——¢ | for granted.” “The fact that Jesus healed the man born blind was practical demon- stration to the world that Jesus is the pe et of the world,” sald the leader, “and the attendant circum- stances to the sign settle that claim eta time. “It was mere religious superstition that claimed this man had sinned in any particular degree.

The commission authorized the au- ditor to advertise for bids, following telegraphic instructions Monday from E. H. Foley, Jr. assistant general counsel of the federal emergency ad- ministration of public works to Mayor F, O. Olsen, that the project is ap- proved and the commission could ask for bids. The commission also authorized Mayor Olsen to name a committee of three to confer with Cass county ae Moorhead authorities regarding the construction of a dam at a point below the city, probably near the county poor farm, as a supplemental movement to the disposal plant. It_was explained to the commission by City Attorney M. W. Murphy that advertising for bids will not neces- sarily pledge the city to the expendi- ture of any money—except cost of advertising for bids. “After the bids are received and opened and the lowest bid is deter- mined, you have 60 days in which to negotiate with federal special works board in Washington regarding the funds before you let the contract,” Murphy said. “If you determine the cost will be too great, or if the negotiations for the money are not favorable, or if for any other reason you decide against construction of the plant, you may, within that period reject all bids and the city would not be ob- ligated to expend a cent.” Two More Districts * Select Committees Committees to supervise adminis- tration of the wheat allotment-acre- age reduction program in two dis-| tricts were elected Saturday at mect-| ings in Bismarck and Driscoll, ac- cording to H.

The experiment was begun in 1918. Old-time theories on tree culture are upset by the experiment’s re- sults, officials said. To conduct the experiment, a ser- ies of five blocks of tree was set out building and smoke to the offices on the second story and adjoining stores Heo and one at the Union Stor- ge and Transfer company, where the rear Platform was er ee and smoke caused damage to merchan- dise stored in the warehouse.

In some cases neither cultivation nor mulching was practiced. A comparison also was made with methods of non-pruning with moderate and severe pruning. The species of trees used were buf- falo berry, sharpleaf willow, boxelder, ash, northwest poplar, red willow and tartarian maple. Results of this experiment tabulat- ed in 1932 showed that the best growth and survival were made in the blocks of trees receiving clean cultivation and no pruning. Blocks of trees that were clean cultivated and moderately pruned were a close second whiie blocks entirely neglect- ed ranked third. Blocks that were clean cultivated and severely pruned ranked fourth. The blocks of trees under the hay and straw mulch rank- ed lowest in height and survival.
