But they did not count on the generosity of their friends. Today, a few months since the fire, the Schindlers are ey @ new home, constructed by their neighbors, furnished by their a) HOW DO BIRDS TELL TIME? Puzzling to those who see it is the daily banquet the winter birds have in front of a Bismarck bakery. Every morning at 10 o'clock, a baker throws crumbs on the sidewalk in Pog of the bakery. A flock of chattering birds immediately begin their feast. Directly over the bakery is a business office, A few minutes before 10 the birds begin coming. By 10 the window sills and nearby cornices are filled with the feathered things, frisking around, awaiting their dole, “And,” comments the office occupant, “how they fight over every little tidbit. They are almost human.” se * * ONE OF THE FIRST PASSES Death has removed from the Twin Cities of the Missouri Slope one of their first settlers. 4 Mrs. Louisa Krause Helmsworth, who was buried in Union cemetery at ‘Mandan Monday, came up the Missouri river by steamboat in 1872 to live at Fort Berthold. With her husband, she moved to Bismarck in 1874, On Jan. 2, 1877, Mr. and Mrs, Helmsworth, scorning the dangers of life on the western side of the river, moved to a site-just below historic Signal Sat on the eastern edge of what is now Mandan, ley were Mandan’s first settlers, And born to the Helmsworths there was a son, Henry, believed to be the first white child born in what is now western North Dakota. He died in 1926. 1 eee TELLING THE WORLD From a North Dakota newspaper comes this: “To Whom It May Concern: f “The person who called up the relief office and tried to cut m Telief by saying I was making and selling liquor, had better try that one else, as I’m not on relief nor am I selling liquor. Thank you. claps “PAUL A. OBERG. WAS HIS FACE RED? ’ Eli Weston, Fargo attorney who represented one of the defendants in the liquor conspiracy case in federal court, remembers well his most em- barrassing moment. It came a few years ago when P. B. Garberg was U. 8. district attorney, the offite now filled by P; 'W. Lanier. « iJ The court session was just about over late one dark winter afternoon when Judge Andrew Miller inquired if there was any further business. ‘Gar- berg’s reply was that there was one more prisoner to arraign. Weston stepped. forward in the dimly-lighted court with the defendant, for whom he was attorney, just in time to hear Judge Miller inquire of Garberg: “Do you wish to arraign both of them?” ae ‘THE “UNKNOWN SOLDIER” AGAIN Asleep on a high bluff that frowns on the Missouri river about five miles southeast of Bismarck lie Lieutenant Beever and Sgt. Nicholas T. Miller, two ill-fated members of Gen, H. H. Sibley’s expedition against the rebellious Sioux in 1863. A few weeks ago The Tribune carried accounts of their deaths, the first one originating in the adjutant general's offices where records led Frayne Baker to believe the soldier who died with Beever was unidentified, that he was North Dakota's “Unknown Soldier.” The next day, George F. Will and W. A. Falconer identified the “unknown.” . In Jamestown, Mrs. E. E. Ramer read the original story. She noted the report of the soldiers’ deaths had been made by Sgt. James T. Ramer. She rummaged through the records of her late husband, found a leatherbound diary kept by her husband’s father, James T. Ramer. It was the original record. It corroborated the stories told by Mr. Will and Mr. Falconer with one variation. | ij Records here state Beever and Miller were killed by arrows. diary states they were tomahawked and scalped. se Ramer HE'’LL LEARN i : A farmer went to the hardware department of a Bismarck store. He asked the polite young man with thé college air if the store had any calf weaners in stock. “I’m sorry,” said the clerk, “but we do not carry a line of groceries.” * 2 * i SEVENTH BOOK READY On Dec. 1, the seventh book of verse by Col. Paul 8. Bliss, director of intake and certification for the North Dakota WPA, will be issued. Entitled “Cirrus From the West,” the format and arrangement is novel. Eschewing free verse and rhyme, Bliss has set his phrases and key words one under the other, sometimes even one letter of a word beneath the letter preceding. Collaboratihg with Colonel Bliss, Harold J. Matthews of Houston, Tex., wood block artist, illustrates the edition. Colonel Bigs selected the title for the book, after ruminating on the cloud formatiofs he frequently admired over the North Dakota prairies. While North Dakota is the scene of most of his studies, nature of Minnesota and Ontario also are SOCIETY ITEM . ) ‘Taking our life in our hands, we reprint the following social notice as “A group of Bismarck young men surprised Dr. A. M. Fisher at his resi- dence, 112 Ave. B west, last night—the occasion being his birthday. Mrs. Fisher served s completely appointed turkey dinner, The evening in group singing and cards. First prizes in euchre and 500 went to Master Neil Churchill and little Johnnie Fleck. Phil Meyer won the consolation. Dr. Fisher received an appropriate gift.” If there are any suspicions that all’s not right with this story, we have the original copy, so help us. WHAT IT.

Sees Big Increase in Grocery Advertising A prediction that grocers in 1936 will do the biggest year’s business in @ decade if they utilize newspaper ad- vertising consistently and intelligently is made to the thousands of members of the Independent Grocers’ Alliance by its president, J. Frank Grimes. In a letter to members of the alli- ance, one of the largest voluntary as- sociations of its kind, Grimes stressed the point that welfare of the inde- pendent merchant and his newspaper are irrevocably bound together. “Through the depression years,| rather than reduce newspaper ad- vertising space, we have steadily aug- mented it,” Grimes said. “The fellows who used the depres- sion as an excuse to curtail their ad- vertising have steadily made their motion has been the most potent force in our growth.” People are swinging from low qual- mphasized. “Advertising makes for volume sales, volume sales lower production costs: and we all benefit. “If the independent dealers take the tip from their powerfully organized competitors and work closely with their newspapers they will bring about benefits to not only themselves but to their entire communities.” FLAPPER FANNY SAYS: ‘REG. U. 5. PAT. OFF. THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1935 DEPUTIES ROUTED BY STRIKERS Hours of violence at the Ohio Insulator plant at Barberton, O., were climaxed when strike sympathizers drove 50 guards into the factory with a barrage of rocks and bottles. Tear gas bombs were used by the depu- ties, two of whom are shown behind a rough barricade, before they re- treated. (Associated Press Photo) 10,000,000 Produced N What Drouth Did to State Farms Shown in Figures Compiled by U. S. Statistics on what happened to agriculture during North Dakota's the drouth of 1934 were made avail- nee. by the federal government Thurs- Ys They show that 10,000,000 acres of Norh Dakota land produced nothing whatever in 1934; that 5,000,000 more acres drouth; and that farmers were forced to dispose of two thirds of their hogs because of the feed scarcity. These figures were based on com- ly parisons with the 1930 census. That this state is about to return to grass despite the increase of 6,631 in the number of farms, is indicated by the fact that the number of breed-! ing cows in 1935 was 130,000 larger than in 1930. On this basis, sale of nearly 1,000,000 cattle during the drouth purchase program will not im- pair the productive capacity of the cattle industry. The Livestock Industry ‘What happened to the livestock in- dustry is indicated by the compara- tive figures for 1930 and 1935. In the former year there were 1,205,721 cat- tle listed in the state, in the latter there were 1,218,581 and the ratio of cows to other livestock was the larg- est on record. Cows and heifers over two years old totalled 579,276 in 1930 ‘and 709,049 in 1935. The number of sheep and lambs dropped from 856,621 in 1930 to 740,- 025 in 1935 while the number of hogs was reduced from 628,070 in 1930 to 218,319. Whether all of the reduction in hogs was due to the drouth was doubtful, however, since the low price of hogs for several years prior to 1934 had discouraged farmers from raising them, Hay Was Worst ‘The worst blow received in 1934, ac- cording to the report, was the failure of the hay crop which dropped from 2,367,618 tons in 1930 to 1,435,947 in 1934, Figures for the latter year in- cludes weeds and thistles gathered for hay despite their comparatively low feeding value. Grain crops cut for hay also are included in the 1934 figure. : Comparative yields on other crops also are listed in the report, figures for 1934 being listed first and com- pared with those for 1934: Corn—139,413 bushels and 2,172,643. ‘Wheat—18,014,885 bushels and 95,- 574,408, Oats—1,366,660 bushels and 31,- 174,936, ri laa bushels and 31,- 1749: Rye—609,883 and 9,053,338. Mixed Grains—186,226 and 1,385,358. Flax—006,341 and 5,616,087. The best comparative showings were made by sugar beets and pota- toes, both being raised largely in the Red River valley which was less ser- iously affected by the drouth. From 1930 to 1934 the acreage of sugar beets rose from 8,249 to 13,466 and the pro- duction increased from 59,104 tons to 82,304 tons. The potato acreage rose from 121,052 to 138,213 but the pro- duction dropped from 6,695,416 bush- els to 6,140,254 bushels.

Acres othing in ’34 NEW HOLIDAY UNIT | WAS RENO’S IDEA Incorporated to Raise Defense Funds ‘and Other Purpose,’ Anderson Says Formation of the Farmers Holiday association of the second judictal dis- trict to engage in raising defense funds for former Gov. William Lan- ger and three associates in their fed- eral trials followed suggestins emanating from Milo Reno, national president of the Holiday association movement, J, M. Anderson, president of the state corporation said Satur- lay. Anderson's statements were in re- isponse to a recent action by members of the executive committee and a group of county chairmen of the North Dakota state Farmers Holiday association, in which “responsibility for or interest in” the second judicial district organization was disclaimed. “When it became apparent the government would force another trial of former Gov. William Langer and three associates on consiparcy charges and the indictment for perjury was voted by the grand jury, many of our Holiday members throughout the state requested some steps be taken to raise a defense fund for these de- fendants,” Anderson declared. “Milo Reno inquired as to whether or not anything was being done and suggested incorporation of this asso- ciation for the second judicial district for that and other purposes.” School Enrollment Put at 635 Pupils There are 635 pupils attending the Bismarck high school according to re- cent figures given out by Principal C. W. Leifur. This represents an in- crease of 35 over the attendance at the same time a year ago. The actual enrollment for the three months of the present school year will run close to 675, but Leifur points out that there are always a number of students who drop out for various reasons during the first semester. The freshmen lead the other classes with 203 in attendance, and it is also only in this class that the boys have a majority. The complete enrollment follows: Boys Girls Total 99 203 175 139 118 “635 Validity of Sales Tax In Ohio Is Challenged Columbus, O., Nov. 23.—(#)—Three forces concentrated fire Saturday on Ohio's 3 per cent general sales tax, source of $38,000,000 in revenue in 42 weeks.

Eccles Says Business Expansion Is Healthy Washington, Nov. 23.—(?)—The cur- rent business expansion was tagged a healthy one Saturday by Marriner S. Eccles, chairman of the Federal Re- serve board. “It is clear,” he said, “that there 18 no excessive expansion in any field at this time. “There is no evidence of accumu- lation of inventories, of frantic bid- ding for a limited amount of goods, or of an expansion of bank credit, save through the purchase of govern- ment securities.

It ‘was mother.” And how did mother take it? She’ adored it.” The 24-year-old merry-eyed Merna plays the part of a small town girl who wins her man away from the wiles of's sleek Holly- wood star. Vintners Divided on Table Wine Strength Washington, Nov. 23—(#)—The op- posing claims of vintners on behalf of those who want a light table wine, and those who want wine with a “kick,” held the attention Saturday of the federal alcohol administration, as it continued hearings on new reg- ulations. California wine makers were ar- rayed against eastern producers in| support of a new FAA regulation that port, sherry, muscatel, maderia and angelica should have at least 18 per cent alcohol.
