Townley in Washington that this state is prac- tically 100 per cent for the industrial program which he has presented to the government. They know it to be untrue. One can almost hear the private com- ments of “Well, I am not in favor of it,” and such remarks have been common enough on the streets and in the farmyards. One need not be surprised, however, in view of Townley'’s record for dis- regarding the truth when it does not happen to suit his needs or his fancy. ‘The more charitable can attribute it to the enthusiasm which inflames the mind of the born promoter when he sees an opportunity to reap for himself the reward which the shark always scents when he deals with the gullible. The Townley record is too long to permit of complete exploitation on short notice, but a few facts will serve to illustrate the point. Some seven years ago, North Da- kota was startled by the announce- ment that gasoline had been found in ® well at Robinson. It was alleged to have seeped in from a fault in a great natural oil pool, the oil having been refined by seepage until it be- came gasoline of a quality good enough to run an automobile. Farmers came from miles around to fill milk cans and other receptacles with the fluid, and news of the won- der spread about the countryside. Shortly thereafter Townley ap- peared upon the scene as the promo- ter of the great Robinson oil field. He set up a drilling rig and a taber- nacle of promotion into which were conducted the unwary from far and near. ‘The harvest is reputed to have ‘been a good one, though just how much was taken from the pockets of honest and hard-working people will never be known. Townley probably doesn’t know himself, for he is no- toriously poor st figures. Other “oll domes” were located by the “master’s” geologists in other parts of the state and residents of other areas were given the money- extracting treatment. Other der-' ricks were put up to lead on the un- wary. The result in each instance ‘was the same. There was much talk but no oil. Not @ cent of the money loaned to Townley by those who trusted him has ever been repaid. This is not unusual, It was to be expected. But more amazing is the natural phenomena which attended Townley’s exploitation. The well at Robinson slowly re- turned to its former condition. The Seepage which filled it with gasoline stopped as soon as the promotion eampaign was well under way. In a physical sense, Townley’s achievement was comparable to that| A member of this year's somewhat|Tespective checks are walting for ef Moses, who drew water from as tock by striking it with his rod. ‘When Townley needed 2 gasoline|portant than rolling up a string of|t*e contracts to be signed in that well, lo, one appeared.

D., and /citisens to impose its will upon an- rapings and similar crimes which usually are held responsible for this sort of mass violence, are not so much the causes as the occasion for the demonstrations. On this basis the majority of our 29 | 1ynchings stem directly from the race problem which has existed in the South ever since the liberation of the slaves. In communities where there are as many blacks as whites, it be- comes difficult for the latter to main- tain their dominance unless they re- sort to extra-legal means. That is why so many Southern lynchings are perpetrated with the implied conniv- lance of public officials, sworn to de- fend the law. In the North, and where white men are lynching victims, the situation usually is different. In such cases, lynching becomes a species of hood- lumism, usually called into action by the effect of an outrageous crime up- on immature or weak minds. Thus the chief defendant in the San Jose lynchings of Thomas H. Thurmond and John M. Holmes is an 18-year- old boy. In the South the so-called better element, consisting of community leaders, frequently take the lead in Negro lynchings. In the North, these ‘crimes almost never enlist the sup- port of men who normally are lead- ers in the community. On this basis, the society for the advancement of colored people may find greater difficulty in enlisting support for its law-enforcement ef- fort than it has any right to ex- pect. Tt is aiming at a situation which Northerners may regard as none of their business and in which Southern people would bitterly resent inter- ference. That a change in the attitude is slowly developing, however, is dem- onstrated by recent happenings. The governor of Tennessee has ordered a grand jury investigation of a lynch- ing case in that state. The governor lof Missouri has taken steps to bring the slayers of a Negro to trial and the governor of Maryland called out the militia in an effort in bring lynchers to justice. This is rapid progress, considering how little of real civilization man has acquired in the entire period cov- ered by recorded history. September Morn’s Children ‘Who remembers the furore that went up shortly after the turn of the century when a daring artist ex- hibited the picture “September Morn”? The canvas was reproduced on cal- endars of the more risque sort and was @ subject for general discussion. ‘The more modest gasped, the reform- ers fumed, and many sewing circles passed indignant resolutions against the exhibition. Few can recall that there was com- ment upon the comely young lady who served as artist's model, but if any consideration were given to her it probably was to assert that she had consigned herself to a fore- ordained doom, All of which is brought to mind by & note in a magazine which dis- cusses art subjects. It reports that the model in question, then a girl in her teens, now is married and has five children. It may just be another proof that things are not always what they seem or, if they are, they don’t stay that way long. A Fine Bunch of Boys! You get a good insight into one of the most-discussed angles of “big time” intercollegiate football in the reports of the recent party at Mont- clair, N. J., where Yale football play- ers and alumni gathered for a free- for-all discussion of Yale's current athletic fortunes. unfortunate football team explained that the fun of playing was more im- then expressed himself as follows: “They're a fine bunch of boys, all right, but if they don’t win football strongest ties between us and pres- ent-day Yale.” other class, Such things as murders, Signed letters pertaining to personal health and hygiene, not to disease diagnosis, or treatment, will be answered by Dr. Brady if a stamped, self-addressed envelope is enclosed.

Money The North Dakota supreme court, in a decision Tuesday, held that a district court may authorize the re- ceiver of an insolvent bank, in pro- |cess of liquidation, to borrow money |from the R. F. C. to make payments to depositors and other creditors, and to pledge assets to secure such a loan when it appears such action is for the best interests of the trust estate and Persons inerested. The action was brought against the Forbes State Bank of Forbes by L. R. Baird, state receiver, acting as re- ceiver of the Forbes bank. The bank appealed to the. supreme court for a review, and the order of John C. Lowe, Minot, given in Burleigh county, district court, was affirmed. Authority Challenged The district court held the receiver] of the bank is authorized to borrow from the R. F. C. to pay dividends to the creditors of the bank. Action was brought resisting the application of the receiver for ‘authorization to borrow money on the ground the re- ceiver was without authority and that the court was without authority to grant him permission to borrow. In its decision, the supreme court held “the plan adopted by the federal government authorizing the Recon- struction Corporation to make loans to banks in process of liquidation was intended to meet just such a contin- gency as that presented here.” It is inconceivable that any creditor will be harmed,” the court said. “The money is borrowed at a low rate of interest and is at once distributed to the creditors. The liabilities are not increased at all, as the sum borrowed goes immediately into reduction of the liabilities. The assets pledged as security for the loan do not go into the hands of a private lender, actu- ated by the profit motive, but to a governmenta! agency operating for the Purpose of aiding in converting the assets so pledged into money in such manner as shall realize the greatest possible amount for the creditors of the bank.” BREAD DEALER SLAIN New York, Dec. 19.—()—Giuseppi Minardi, a 47-year-old bread dealer, mittee asked for 10 automobiles from ig.

No Damage Caused by Fire in Garage Here Fire at the Capital Chevrolet com- Pany at 9:15 o'clock Tuesday morn- ing caused no damage, according to Harry A. Thompson, chief of the Bis- marck fire department. Employes were cleaning the floor with gasoline when flames broke out, Thompson said. He did not know what caused the blaze but suggested someone probably lit a cigarette in the establishment. All that burned, he said, was the gasoline and grease on the floor. Many automobiles were in the garage but were not damaged. ‘Workmen had extinguished the fire with extinguishers when the firemen arrived, the chief said. somo ae t Well, Whose Face | Would Not Be Red? | | —________—__+ Chicago, Dec. 19.—(4)—With his face a deep red, William Avoner, Pantless and coatless, rushed into ‘a beer tavern Tuesday followed by his girl friend, Miss Rose Wolf. Avoner didn't waste any time in explanations, but ran to a tele- Phone booth to tell police all about the three bandits who were inconsiderate enough to demand that he give them his trousers after robbing both him and Miss Wolf of their coats and her of a wrist watch. He said they were accosted while sitting in his automobile in front of her home, and were forced to drive to another part of the city, where the robbers put them out of the car and drove away in it. While Avoner was telephoning the police, Miss Wolf borrowed a pair of pants for him from a bar- ‘tender. Foreign War Veterans Plan Meeting Tonight Members of Gilbert, N.
