SPIKE AND TACK The domicile of the Dr. W. H. Bodenstab family in Bismarck does not lack for dogs, Two of them have the run of the house. “Spike,” the dean, ts an English bulldog of ferocious mien and docile disposition on all occ: sions except when foreigners invade the Bodenstab lawn and seek out bone repositaries. And he doesn’t like motorcycles either. And then, to round out the animal kingdom, a ul bull puppy shares the affections of the house- hold. They named him “Tac! A COWBOY’S LAMENT News of the death of David Calvin Campbell, 83-year-old Texan and pioneer rancher in the Little Missouri country south of Williston, brought poignant Lied to W. 8. “Bill” Graham of Bismarck, former state auto- registrar. Bill's first job in North Dakota was punching cows for the famous old Long X ranch. That was in 1895. Graham can’t remember how many thousands of cattle he helped to round up. On one occasion the Long X outfit loaded three trainloads in one day. se 8 DREAM RAILROAD : Twenty years ago North Dakota was in the throes of its second railroad building boom. The Northern Pacific had completed the north and south branches out of Mandan to tap the resources of the west river country. The Great Northern planned to run a road from New Rockford west through Eddy, Wells, Sheridan, McLean, Dunn, Mercer and McKenzie counties even- tually to rejoin the main line at Great Falls, Mont. Right-of-way was sur- veyed, options obtained, some land purchased and a roadbed graded at vari- uu the branch never was built. Getting wind of the Great Northern’s plans, the Soo Line got its builders on the job, threatened to build a line paralleling the GN’s. President Pennington of the Soo met Louis W. Hill, Jr., of the Great Northern in western McKenzie county. They talked it over, decided to wait a few years before engaging in a costly com- ene ee SUNKIST Who hasn't heard of that vitalizing word “Sunkist”? Who hasn't en- joyed @ luscious mouthful of the citrus fruit sold the world over under that widely advertised trade name? But few persons in Bismarck know that the man who originally coined it for the California Fruit Growers’, Cooperative association was a former Bismarck man, still a resident of North Dakota. Down at his desk in the advertising department of The Fargo Forum sits Dick Brandon, former adi manager for The Bismarck Tribune, who three decades ago, in the offices of a great advertising agency in Chi- cago, thought of California’s sun kissing its oranges golden and he called them sun-kissed, abbreviated to mie = * TRED FIREMEN At the height of Minot’s three-inch deluge last Monday, the alarm sounded in the fire hall. Out roared the fire truck on its property-saving mission. Near the courthouse the truck’s ignition system became saturated, short-circuited, halted the red giant in its tracks. Running to a nearby telephone, Fire Chief James O'Leary called the home where the fire was reported from. “How bad is the fire?” O'Leary asked. And a woman’s voice replied, “There isn’t any fire. Our basement is flooded and I just wanted you to pump it out.” ee ZIPPER Lewis Walker of Meadville, Pa., is the zipper king, the developer and of the interesting little gadget that is rapidly revolutionizing the annoying problem of lost buttons, broken shoe laces, twisted hooks and eyes. Zipping through Bismarck recently en route to Yellowstone National park, Walker told a friend he always had been interested in North Dakota. Years ago he a farm here. About 10 years ago he sold it. That farmer, like thousands of his land-owning brothers, found himself in difficulties recently. He had practically no cash, worried because his family of sons and daughters would be unable to have the education he had planned for them. Walker heard about the man’s troubles. Walker has sent the farmer's oldest son and daughter to the state university, will give the farmer's other children a higher education when they have completed their high school courses, ALL STEAMED UP Remember the old harvest field steamer that supplied power for farmer's threshing rig?

This is the sixth of 12 articles which Hunt has written for the Bismarck Tribune after a ramb- ling, 14,000-mile tour across Am- erica. He has entitled his series, “Listening to America.” By FRAZIER HUNT (Copyright, 1935, NEA Service, Inc.) Milo Reno, noted farm strike leader, sat in his office in a two-story brick building in Des Moines and ran his long, bony hand through his great shock of iron-grey hair. At 70 his voice has the same steely quality as that of Calles, Mexico's man of destiny. He leans back in his swivel chair and puts his feet on a flat top desk cov- ~ |ered with a litter of papers, telegrams ‘and documents. “Don’t worry,” he says, in this un- forgettable voice, “we'll have a third . If the leaders are afraid to lead it, the people will get new lead- ers. Somehow, in this gnarled old fighter, brought up in on a small mortgaged farm with 13 broth- ers and sisters, you sense strange ghosts of the old days of the Popu- lists and hear weird echoes of the warnings of the sjlver-tongued Bryan “America must choose between the \dollar and the man.” “Three of the dumbest people we've got are the lawyers, preachers and teachers—but even they are slowly learning,” he says without the trace of smile. “The two things wrong with America are finance and the land. 1 | They’ve got us now where all the pro- ducers of real wealth are on one side of @ stream and on the other are the millions who need these things to eat and wear—and the only way of getting them across to the people is And that boat is owned in Wall Street.” * ® * Limit Farms to 160 Acres Then he went on: “In this once rich middle-west we'll have to limit the size of farms to 160 acres. By high taxes we'll force the larger farms to 09\be broken up. And we'll make it so tough on absentee landlords that the man who tills the soil will own the liand, Why, they had bills in this Iowa legislature proposing progressive land taxes, and putting into high upper jlevels all farms of over 320 acres not farmed by the owners. And that’s just ‘44| Playing with the real idea, ... And the government has got to guarantee a fair cost of production for the farmers.” Out around town level-headed ob- |servers told me Reno is losing out The 3 A’s have brought them greatly increased prices for their crops and large bonus pay- ments—more than 100 million in Iowa alone—and their flaring revolt ex- pressed in five-and-ten-cent fore- closure sales and radical demonstra: tions is over. es 2 @ Discontent Bubbling But here in what once was staid and conservative Iowa there is a Jeaven of deep discontent slowly working. A professor at the college 4jof agriculture at Ames put it into ‘00|words for me: “More than 43 per cent of Iowa land is mortgaged at from $90 to $100 an acre—a grand total of $924,- 000,000. Some 60 per cent is farmed »| by tenants. These tenants, plus the debt-ridden farmers, offer an unknown factor for the future. Right now 80 per cent of all farmers of the state are behind the 3 A’s and there is no chance of a third party next year. But in 1940 these tenants and men in debt will be potential third party people. In the northern counties there is a steady infiltration of radical ideas from Minnesota and Wisconsin that is giving a different color to the whole state. Iowa farmers will stay with Roosevelt this coming election, but anything can happen after that.” ese 8 In ‘Ak-sar-ben’ Across the wiid Missouri into the beautiful “Land of Ak-sar-ben” which is Nebraska spelled backwards —you feel a new burst of optimism, despite the tragic crop failure of last year and the dust storms in the west- ern part of the state this spring. I went to Otto Swanson, one of the biggest merchants and most succesful business man in this part of the near- west. “Farmers here will work their way out of the depression if rain comes—and here in the eastern part of the state things look promising. The real problem of the U. 8. is the city unemployed. People don’t need to worry about us. Cities here are really rural towns We may have our street car strikes and minor labor troubles, but we'll get along. .. .

They are Republican in their blood, just as people in Oklahoma are Dem- ocratic. . four billion war chest last he'll be re- elected. Still, if he strikes a slump next summer, ne can be defeated.” Sixty miles northeastward the Sage of Emporia, William Allen White, views with as much, humor as hope the “Grass roots” convention, that he must accept as at least partly his own step-child. “America must do three things to save herself: put buying fpower into the hands of the lower two-fifths; decrease profit in indus- try so that goods can be more equit- ably distributed; raise taxes to meet the Jong pull of unemployment and {publ works,” he saye:"“The' Repub- o— Crusade Leader + | | EVANGELIST A.

Taylor, Jamestown, district su- perintendent of the Church of the Nazarene. Rev. Taylor said he hopes, at the conclusion of the campaign, to urganize a permanent church here with a resident pastor. Rev. Lamm, known as the bus- iness man evangelist, has preach- ed in many states and is well known throughout the northwest. Rev. Taylor said the object of the campaign is the “saving of lost men” and asked the prayers and cooperation of “all of God's people” for a “mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit in revival pow- er upon Bismarck and the sur- rounding territory.” He said everyone is invited to attend the meetings. Ne one chance depends on the man they nominate.” ee * Two Roosevelt States On the western edge of Missouri men dismissed the possibilities of anyone but Roosevelt carrying the state as too fantastic even to bother to talk about, ‘ The same was true of Oklahoma. “Huey can carry a good many poor tenant farmers and share-croppers with him, but Roosevelt will get: the state,” Victor Harlow, editor of Har- low's Weekly, said to me. Up at the noisy, blustering state capital the extraodrinary governor, E. ‘W. Marland, who five years ago had 80 millions, views with growing alarm the vast exodus of farm people to the cities. “We'll have to get at least three million city families back to the land or we will go the way of Rome.

Austin defeated Wilmer Alli- son*in five sets, 6-2, 2-6, 4-6, 6-3, 7-5, and Perry cut down young Don Budge, 6-0, 6-8, 6-3, 6-4.

NEW WAR BREWING, TROTZKY DECLARES Compares Italo-Ethiopian Sit- uation to Balkan Fore-Run- ner of World Conflict Oslo, Norway, July 27.—(4)—From his tranquil exile, Leon Trotzky can see Saturday the storm clouds of another world war gathering above Africa. ik lieve the eventual Italo-Ethio} ian war is in the same relation to a new world war as the Balkan war of 1912 was to the world war of 1914,” said the famed revolutionary exile. “It is impossible to say whether a world war will break out in three or five years,” he told an interviewer for the Norwegian labor paper Ar- beider Bladet, “but we ought to focus rather on a short time than a long time.” Like the Balkan war, Trotzky said, the trouble in Africa would marshal hited world’s powers into opposing coal- tions.
