Ail tients of republication of all other matter herein are also reserved, A Big Attraction Arrival in Bismarck of the eight teams participating in the ‘western sectional junior baseball tournament sets the stage for the biggest and most important athletic event in the history of North Dakota. Never before has this state been the center of interest for so widespread a competition as that which ap- proaches a climax here. The importance attached to it is indicated by proclama- tions of Governor Welford and Mayor Lenhart and, more par- ticularly, by the support which the citizens of the community are giving the enterprise. That a fine brand of baseball will be displayed by the com- peting teams can be taken for granted. The eight clubs which will appear here are the pick of thousands which participated in games in 16 western states leading up to the state and regional play-offs which preceded this sectional event. Included in the number are some boys who doubtless will find their names in big-league box scores within a few years, for the junior baseball program has become a proving ground for professional talent as the rosters of major league clubs show. But more important than the entertainment value of the event is the opportunity it offers to support a movement which was conceived and has been carried out with a view to stimu- lating Americanism among our youth. The idea is not so much to produce winning teams as to help build clean young Amer- ican citizens who will play the game of life with the same zest and the same sportsmanship that marks their conduct on the baseball diamond. The movement is important, too, because it encourages the - adult population to take an interest in and give support to the rising generation. Our young people are the best assets we have, but the average citizen is all too often indifferent to that fact. Thus, by calling attention to the need for Americanism and the desirability of a sound program for youth, the tournament instructs at the same time it entertains. Local committees composed of both veterans and non-vet- erans, have made adequate preparations to insure the success of the tournament. The visiting boys are sure to leave Bis- marck with the realization that they were well treated here. All that remains to insure the success of the affair is the attendance of the public and it seems certain, in view of the interest already displayed,-that this will be forthcoming in large measure. ~ Those who go will be pleased with the entertainment offered for they are certain to see red-hot competition. Those who fail to attend will probably wish they had found oppor- tanity to go. Illiterate Millions It comes as a bit of a shock, but the last report of the United States census bureau reveals there are 4,283,753 Amer- icans more than 10 years old who can neither read nor write. Here is a large segment of our population handicapped at the outset for any competition in a modern world that demands the best education a person can obtain. If the individual cases of these 4,000,000 were analyzed, it might be found that hun- dreds of thousands are unemployed—unemployed because they never have been equipped to earn an adequate living. These figures, incredible as they seem, offer a real chal- Tenge to every community. Adult education programs should be fostered. The government already has done much in this direction, but a great deal more of the task lies ahead. It is a big job, but it justifies any effort. America can’t 6fford illiteracy at any price. Millions for Patronage Michigan’s antiquated spoils system costs its taxpayers a gmillion dollars or more a year! That is the conservative esti- mate of the state’s civil service study commission. Among the evils of expensive patronage, the commission listed excessive labor turnover, inexperienced, incompetent, and untrained help, political activity of employes, unfair salaries and overstuffed payrolls. What to do about it? Inaugurate civil service, the commis- sion urges. But first launch an impartial and exhaustive survey of the patronage system to get the facts and figures before the voters. This course is open to every state, one that should prove eminently worth while, Transarctic Airline One thing bothered Russian Airmen Sigismund Levan- eveky and Victor Levchenko as they took off from Los Angeles on the first leg of their transarctic flight to Moscow. They feared the weather wouldn’t be bad enough. » Assigned by the Soviet to chart the course of a proposed Moscow-American airmail and passenger line, these two fliers were wholly sincere when they told reporters, “We're out to find the worst weather the Arctic can produce.” They wanted, they explained, to test the worst conditions be of the route for the “future guidance” of aviation. Thus, it appears, the day of the transarctic flight is not fer distant.

TRADE JUMPS 24 PER CENT Exports and Imports Gain Equally With Reciprocal Treaty in Effect Washington, Aug. 22.—(#)—Federal economists reported Saturday that movement of farm products to and from Canada had jumped 24 per cent during the first six months of the reciprocal trade treaty. An analysis prepared by the agri- culture department's bureau of foreign crops and markets showed the per- imports of agricultural products to be identical, as compared with the same period during 1935. The trade figures were made public shortly after Secretary Roper forecast negotiations for a reciprocal trade agreement with Great Britain. Re- turning from Europe, Roper said the “Canadian trade agreement has ar- rested” British attention. The citrus industry in this country and cattlemen in Canada were said to be chief beneficiaries in agricul- tural trade between the two nations. Agricultural exports to Canada for the first six months of this year were $25,408,000 compared with $20,545,000 for the first half of last year, a gain of 24 per cent. Farm products sent here from Can- ada in the first -half of 1936 were valued at $35,540,000 compared with $28,896,000 in 1935, a gain of 24 per cent. Non-agricultural products from Canada rose from $100,998,000 for the first half of last year to $123,886,000 this year, a boost of $22,888,000 or 23 per cent. Non-agricultural products moving into Canada were $158,344,000 for the first half of this year and $140,322,000 in 1935, an increase of $18,022,000 or 13 per cent. Deep Wells to Serve N. D. Capitol Building Deep wells to reduce water cost at the state capitol and replace “drying” wells at two state institutions are be- ing drilled under supervision of the state board of administration. Ed Nelson, building superintendent for the board, said that water, as good @s that made available by the city after run through a softener, is being pumped from the newly-sunk well at the rear of the state capitol. said, and is more suitable for the boilers than city water is at the pres- ent time. “In addition, a huge water bill as the result of considerable sprinkling required by the newly seeded lawn and shrubbery and trees planted will be materially reduced.” ‘The capitol well has a depth of 385 feet with water coming up about 200 feet, Nelson explained. He said it is pumping about 50 gallons a minute and with “proper pump equipment will develop 500 gallons per minute.” Emergencies caused by gradual fall- ing off of the flow from previous well sources required the placing of wells at the Minot Normal school and the Haven, Nelson said. “Mavericks,” unbranded calves, got their name from calves on the Texas ranch of 8. A. Maverick, who allowed them to run about unbranded. ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS.

ROUNDUP OF BLACK LEGION IS STARTED Four of 22 Indicted Friday Al- ready Under Arrest, Others Are Sought Detroit, Aug. 22.— (4) — Officials Seeking to put members of a hooded band of terrorists behind bars pressed & roundup of 22 Black Legionnaires Saturday, making arrests in the De- troit metropolitan area and speeding an extradition warrant toward Lima, Qhio, for Virgil F. (Bert) Effinger, cescribed by Prosecutor Duncan C. McCrea as national commander of the organization. Effinger and the 21 others named in the indictments for criminal syn- dicalism returned Friday by Circuit Judges James E. Chenot, acting as a one-man grand jury, would face on conviction sentences of ten years in prison and fines of $5,000. The indictments, based on affi- cavits that the defendants advocated overthrow of the government by force and planned an uprising of armed terrorists Sept. 16, cite not only these acts but also mere membership in the Black Legion as an act of criminal syndicalism. Four persons named in the indict- ments already were in custody and nine more including two firemen and two policemen of suburban Highland |Park, were rounded up by detectives last night. | Downpour Postpones Indians’ Rain Dance Little Eagle, 8. D., Aug. 22.—The Sioux Indians’ appeal for a break in the drouth has been answered, tribal chieftains believed when a storm late Friday night forced postponement of the sun dance of the Sioux until noon Saturday. The traditional dance, greatest of all Sioux rites, was to have opened at sunrise and will end at sunset ; Sunday, in a plea to end the drouth and also to revive the ancient cere- monial that has not been held in the Dakotas since 1879. It also marks the greatest reunion of Sioux survivors of the Custer fight in recent years. One Bull, 87-year-old Sioux chief who is presiding at the ceremonial, pictured the heavy rains which fell jast night and early today as a good omen and a favorable answer to the Indian prayer. Seed Sufficient in Spots Despite ravages of drouth which |brought crop failures to many North Dakota farmers, several central and eastern counties in the state report- ed Saturday they will have sufficient feed for livestock and seed stocks for the 1937 crop. Agricultural agents of six out of eight counties in these districts said in response to an Associated Press survey, that in spite of drouth there were quite a few farmers in the state who produced fair to good crops. Though wheat yields were not high, in some counties more than enough livestock feed was raised to care for cattle and horses in the area, KILLS SON, SUICIDES Long Prairie, Minn., Aug. 22.—(P)— Believed by her parents to have suf- fered hallucinations under which she felt she must make “some sacrifice,” Mrs. Herman Ruttenberg, 30, Gon- |zales, Calif., killed her seven-year- cld son, Robert, by cutting his throat with a razor, then committed suicide in the same manner Friday night.

D. People Disguisted With ‘Making State Government Political Plaything’ Fargo, N. D., Aug. 22—(?)—Assum> ing active management of the Demo- cratic campaign in North Dakota Saturday, J. C. Eaton, campaign di- rector and state chairman, declared “the best interests of North Dakota will be served” by re-election of President Roosevelt and ‘state offi- cers’ who will cooperate with him.” Eaton asserted that both the na- tional and state issues are “clear cut.” “In North Dakota four years of making the state government a po- litical plaything during the most crucial period of its history has dis- guested our people, Today an aroused citizenry is demanding a government that will help and not hinder solution of problems that threaten the de- velopment of @ great commonwealth. “Tired of statehouse strife and tur- moil, a harried people have in the Democratic ticket an opportunity to elect a state government directed by men of unquestioned honesty and ability.” Headquarters for the Democratic campaign have been established in Fargo, Eaton announced. Eaton named as his assistants, Charles J. O’Keefe of Grand Forks, who will di- rect field activities, and Gordon Mac- Gregor, Bismarck newspaperman, who will handle publicity. Prosecutor Demands Death Penalty for 16 Moscow, Aug. 22.—(%)—The death penalty for all 16 confessed conspira- tors against the Soviet union was de- mander Saturday by Prosecutor Andrey J. Vishinsky. “The mad dogs must be shot,” Vish- ;insky demanded. “Every one of them must be killed.” His dramatic demands concluded arguments of the prosecution lasting more than three hours. The prison- ers blanched visibly before the on- slaught of words. ‘ | “A pitiful and disgraceful end awaits these people,” said Vishinsky. “I add my voice to the millions of indignant voices of the toiling masses in demanding the death penalty for sll 16 defendants.” Several of the 16 sobbed as Vishin- sky began his final argument. Their calm indifference broken, E, Drietz- ler, T. Reingold and V. Tervoganian, | their heads buried, in their arms, wept without restraint, as Vishinsky, known as the government's greatest crator, began his summation. District Education Directors Appointed Appointment of three district direc- tors and one state supervisor to assist in promoting the emergency educa- tion program during the coming year was announced Saturday from the office of Earl Clarke, federal emergency education director in North Dakota. 5 The three district directors named are Miss Mildred Brevick, Fargo; George S. Klovstad, Minot, and Le- roy H. Cook, Grand Forks. Ronald Bauer of Valley City was named state supervisor of workers’ educa- tion, part of the emergency education set-up. Bauer will deal with labor organiza- tion and farm labor groups, teaching cooperative movements and handling farm labor problems, it was an- nounced, Adult night schools comprise one phase of the educational program and department officials expected to have between 350 and 400 teachers on their rolls this year compared with 220 last year.
