M. Rosenthal, chairman of the local Legion commit- tee in charge of the affair. At a conference Friday with Gov. Walter Welford the executive agreed to designate the day a half holiday for all state employes who wish to at- tend the contest. FERA Administrator E. A. Willson agreed to make it easy for all his em- ployes who purchase tickets to at- tend the game, and Administrator Thomas H. Moodie took the same stand with regard to the Works Prog- ress administration. To Issue Proclamation Giving his enthusiastic support to the Legion's first effort to make the | tay. tournament an outstanding success, Mayor A. P. Lenhart said he would issue a proclamation asking the mer- chants of Bismarck to get along with skeleton staffs on the afternoon of the championship tilt in order that as many employes as possible may attend. At the same time Rosenthal an- nounced that an intensive ticket sale campaign will be launched Monday by teams of Legionnaires. Every store and office in the downtown dis- trict will be visited. The solicitation at the state capitol has been placed in charge of a special committee com- posed of State Treasurer J. A. Gray, chairman; W. J.

Walter Welford. The conclusion was that Uncle Sam has been a bad banker but must go still fur- ther into that business to pro- tect the interest he already haa and possibly prevent future heavy expenditures for relief. The first recommendation was that the government should further liberalize its policy of collecting the millions Millers May Not Take Light Grain Millers may not take North Da- kota’s lightweight grain at all. If they do, the worst of it may sell by the ton. This was the gist of Minneapolis advices Friday, supplemented by information gathered at the gov- ernor’s conference here Thursday. A. W. Seelander, New Rockford elevator man, said the Farmers National Grain corporation had es- timated its worth as follows: 30-41 pounds, $13 a ton. 36-38 pounds, $0 moan “There is no way to get flour out of it,” one miller remarked. of dollars of outstanding loans or else force thousands of farmers out of business and onto the relief rolls. The second was that, be cause of the light weight of North Dakota’s current wheat crop, it might be well to levy the AAA processing tax on a barrel of flour instead of on a bushel of wheat. What will be done will be deter-. mined Friday by Governor Welford after a conference with Supreme Court Judge A. M. Christianson and Harry Peterson, Farmers Unionite and first vice president of the state hol- iday association, ‘These major views were after a careful canvass of the state agricultural situation lasting nearly five hours and in which anyone wha wanted to talk had opportunity to have his say.
