Richberg, director of the national emergency committee, and Senator L. J. Dickinson (Rep., Towa), clashed on the same platform in dramatic debate upon the adminis-, tration’s recovery program. The administration, asserted the Towa senator, believes in a “borrow and boom” policy, and is using public funds for political purposes. To which Richberg countered with @ vigorous denial that relief funds yet being dispensed as political favors. zc|DANDIT TRIO GETS regional meetings for grand knights, district deputies, financial secretaries and one trustee from each member council, which will be held at Devils Lake on October 14, at Williston on October 21 and at Fargo on October 28. 4 The state deputy pointed out that official recognition of Columbus day by the United States government is being given for the first time this year, although the date usually has been observed in the United States and throughout the western hemi- sphere. A resolution was passed by both houses of congress on April 30, 1934, requesting and authorizing the president to officially designate Oc- tober 12 a8 Columbus day annually. Remarkable increase in interest in Columbus day, shown in the last few years, has brought about this recognition, according to Mergens. While this was the first federal move toward observing the date, North Dakota made it a state holiday about 1910. Later the formal desig- ration was changed to Discovery day. Flags will be displayed on all pub- lic buildings and the general public is being urged to participate in cele- bration of the event.

To Have Guest Pastor At Midweek Devotions $10,000 PAYROLL Gunmen Escape After Cowing 20 Employes of Knoxville, la., Mining Co. Knoxville, Iowa, Oct. 10.—(#)—Rob- bee Ad the $10,000 Pershing Coal Co, mine payroll by three men in a car with Illinois licenses, who drove to the paymaster’s office six miles south of here at noon Wednesday and cowed 20 employes under their guns, was re- Ported to Sheriff Paul Grundman of Knoxvill le. The trio of bandits appeared short- ly after the paymaster’s office began distributing money at noon. They lined 20 waiting mine workers against the wall; seized the paymaster’s cash box, and backed out with a warning against pursuit. ‘They were driving a 1933 model dark blue (Buick) sedan, witnesses said. The robbers went north. |. No accurate check on the amount obtained was available at once. The Payroll amounts to about $10,000, com- pany officials said, representing semi- monthly pay for 200 miners. The sum paid out before the robbery could not be determined because receipts given by workers were taken with the money box. Before entering, the robbers had cut telephone wires to the paymaster' office at the mine and employes we: forced to drive a half-mile west to the town of Pershing to the company store to spread the alarm. The men were unmasked and each carried a gun during the holdup. The money had been delivered to the mine early Wednesday from Knoxville un- der a customary guard of deputy sheriffs.

The first will be held at Wilton at 9 a. m., the second at Wing at 1 p. m., and the third at Sterlin, .m. At 9 a. m. Wednesday the meeting will be held at Bismarck. District community chairmen in Burleigh county have been called for @ special meeting in Bismarck Oct- ober 11 when questions relative to the continuation of the program will be answered and the full plan discussed. Similar votes on the proposition of continuing or dropping adjustment activities for corn and hogs are be- ing taken throughout North Dakota this week and next under general Supervision of the county agricultural agents, An effort will be made to have every one of the county's 538 corn- hog signers express themselves at the meetings, Altenburg said. | Questions on which the producers will vote are: “Do you favor an adjustment pro- oy dealing with corn and hogs in “Do you favor a one-contract-per- farm adjustment program .dealing with grains and livestock to become in Officials of the AAA have explain- ed that the first question deals with the principle of production adjust- ment, without regard to any specific Program. However, the officials feel | edi that the 1935 program would follow the general plan of the 1934 pro- @ram and would include adjustment Payments on both corn and hogs. Payments would probably be some- what larger for corn acreage reduc- tion and materially less for hog re- duction than they were in the past year. Contracted acres could be used without restriction for any hay, pasture, forage, fallow or woodlot purpose. “Basic” crops, such as corn, wheat, barley, rye, flax and grain sorghums, would not be produced up- on the contracted acres.

Estimated Hard Spring Wheat Demand Totals 95,750 Bushels, Report Shows Seed needs. for the 1935 spring planting in Burleigh county have been set at 187,750 bushels, a report of the seed stock’s survey in the county showed Wednesday. ‘The report was from fig- ures submitted by township officers after farmers had listed their avail- able seed and the number of acres they expected to plant in the spring. Hard red spring wheat is in great- est demand, the report showed. The estimated need of the county for this seed has been set at 95,750 bushels, due principally to the total crop fail- ure this year. Thirty-six thousand bushels of oats must be brought into the county from outside sources which, when added to 52,000 bushels of barley, 4,000 bushels of barley and the wheat requirements, brings the total to 187,- 150 bushels. Figures of the report are based on an assumed 80 per cent abandon- ment of wheat acreage in line with the federal agricultural adjustment program. if ‘With most of the oats and barley cut for hay the report showed that only 5,440 bushels of oats ard 9,585 bushels of barley were availabic in the county for seed next spring, Crop varieties by the farmers as most desirable for nlant- ing were Ceres or Marquis wheat. midseason white oats, feed barley und Bison flax. The seed deficit is probably the largest the ¢ounty has ever ten faced with despite the contracted acres, Martin assistant county agent, said recently. Heated Battle Seen For A. F. of L.
