HALF CARLOAD OF SHAVINGS USED ON MDWAY'S STREETS showfolk . to Stage Second Parade of Week on Friday at 7 P. M. By BEVERLY WHITE (Goodman Shows’ Press Agent) it’s an ill wind that blows no one good. The storms of Thursday ‘home folks” think it might. Rss a muddy on the midway of the Goodman Wonder Show at Broadway and 20th €t. Thursday night. But they were wrong. The joy zone-showed in all its glory under @ new carpet of clean, white shavings. It took nearly a half car- load to do the trick. The “good” part of the occasion came to the show folk themselves. Laymen do not know the nomadic family seldom sees any part of the show except that in which each takes part. Thursday night, however, the scores of entertainers had a chance to visit each other. It really was a “pro- fessinonal” matinee for all. From show to show the retinues of the different attractions visited each other and ecw the respective performances. This was the first visit of the kind since the shows opened in North Carolina in April. James Zaharee of Max, N. D., the writer in miniature on rice, talked with many old schoolmates. He went cn the radio for fifteen minutes and told of his successes as 8 showman. All with the show are on edge for the big parade the show, with the aid of the band of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, stages this evening at 7 o'clock. To keep the family on edge is an- other event. This is the children’s matinee Saturday when a nickel does til 6 o'clock Saturday each show and each ride will be 5 cents for each child. Meanwhile, another carload of shav- ings is at hand in the event of a fur- ther peeve of the weather man. Plan Organization of ‘Dust Bowl’ Farmers St. Paul, July 16.—(#)—Organiza- tion of the entire dust bowl by the Farmers Holiday association during the summer and fall was put at the top of the organization’s agenda Fri- day by Dale Kramer, national secre- tary, in Minneapolis. “Western North Dakota and par- ticularly Montana will be organized tightly before proceeding into the Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Colorado stricken areas,” Kramer said. “With Western North Dakota already well organized little work is necessary before concentrating on Montana. “The situation in the dust bow! is almost unbelievable. There is. no chance for a crop—not even forage. ‘We expect to continue the movement of hay to drouth-stricken areas, and will push for an adequate drouth re- lief program. Our experience indi: cates that we can organize two- thirds of the farmers and that will do the job,” he continued. Emmons County Goes Off Cash Paying Basis Linton, N D., July 16—Five years of crop failure have finally caught | up with the once flush Emmons county treasury. For the first time in several years county commissioners have author- ized issuance of registered warrants for payment of current debt. Last March the county refunded outstanding certificates of indebted- ness with a bond issue of $125,000. Recently it borrowed $15,000 on CD's. As long as the county is able, says Auditor B, M. Graf, it will pay salary warrants, orders on the social wel- fare board, coal, light, water and telephone bills plus a few emergency items. Warrants for about $3,000 are being registered this month. Two hundred million eggs are pro- Meet Rufe Davis, the mugger, whose “rubber” features, it is feared, may be his fortune. After spénding his early years chopping cotton in Oklahoma, Rufe decided to put a new face on life— somewhat like the one shown here. Eventually he landed on Broadway, and by keeping a stiff upper lip (see illus- tration), he was becoming a colossal figure in a mild sort of way in some of the little late spots. Then the movie scouts caught up with him. In his first film role, Rufe proved that he knew all the wrinkles of the job. The part was in “Mountain Music,” and this is how he faced it. There was so much contagion in his contortion that he * had some patrons doubled up laughing. ) Then Rufe went*on tour, but did an about-face to take a part in a new film, in which he cuts a fanoy figure—in fact, a figure “8,” as you can see. And if you don’t belieye Rufe has something there, just try it! cued annually by one species’ of star- Eagles 100 per cent for bringing to Bis- ALY py pm poumary pom yas pyran pusaniy Au Lobach Recalls Cricket Legend: Bismarck Man Repeats Story of How Cousin of Locust Received Its Name Appearance and | increasing num- bers of Mormon crickets in cropped fields of western North Dakota brings back to the memory of H. 8, Lobach, 519 Ninth 8t., one of the heroic leg-. ends of America and the settlement of the west. The wingless inscets, closely relat- ed to the locusts and in appearance resembling an over-stuffed chocolate- brown grasshopper, derive their de- signation from the common name given to those people who worship in the Church of the Latter Day Saints or Mormons, How it came about that the insects were called Mormon Srickels, Mr. Lo- bach relates: “A number of years ago my work took me to the west coast and back through Utah to Denver. I visited Salt Lake City several times, and on one Of these visits, it was my good fortune and great pleasure to meet one of the old Elders of the Mormon Church. I was invited to his home in ie evening and met his family. He, it was, who told me the story of the early settlement of Salt Lake City, the Great Salt Lake valley, and the Mormon crickets. Father Was One of Saints “His father was one of those ‘Saints of the Lord’ (as they called them- selves) who went out of Illinois, Io’ and Missouri by wagon train with Brigham Young, and arrived near the great Salt Lake—The Promised Land — in September 1848. ‘They waited not nor demurred, the story goes, but fell to avork.’ Within a week they had explored the valley and its canyons — sawed lumber, ploughed, planted, and irrigated half ta hundred acres, and begun the erec- tion of many dwellings, ar if logs, some of adobe. During the late sum- ‘mer and fall many dete arrived from the Missouri, so that by the be- ginning of winter their number was nearly two thousand. When the early spring came, they were again quickly at the land with their spades. Over 5,000 acres were sown to need- When this began to harvest, their joy was boundless, for their stock of breadstuffs and pro- visions had fallen low during the winter and could not last later than harvest time even with rigid economy. “But early in June, in the full flush of the spring-tide of promise, it ap: peared that the Lord was minded to chasten them. For into their broad gteen fields came the ravenous crickets in wide black streams down the mountain side. Over the growing grain they spread as a pall, and the tinder sprouts were consumed to the See Big IGA ths tx ts os GOOD PARKING SPACE We ‘are with the | #100 SILVERWARE CAKE KNIFE“25; ground, In their track they lef, no lk or growing blade. “Starvation now faced ‘the Saints. in swirling ie so that the land as with rather Ohe a they. wil crickets 3 have left.’ ie hed feet, looking intently, an exultant shout. ‘No! eating only the cricke' alr waae In their panic they sought to fight | mercy the all-devouring pest.

But against the oncoming horde their efforts were unavailing. ‘Where hundreds were destroyed, hun- dreds of thousands appeared. Despair Seizes “Despair seized the Saints, the bitter despair of @ cheated, famished people, deluded even by their God. In their shorn fields they went and cursed, knowing at, last they could not stay the pest, “Then into the fields came the Elder,.known as the ‘Lute of the Holy Ghost’ — rebuking the frenzied men and women. The light of a high faith was upon him as he called out to them, “ ‘Have I not preached to you all winter the way of salvation in times like this? Does faith mean one thing in my mouth and another thing here? Why waste yourselves with those foolish tricks of fire 4nd water? They only make you forget Jehovah —you fools—you poor blind fools to Palter. so!’ “He raised his voice, and the won- dering group about him grew larger. “Down, down on your knees and ipl —pray—pray! -1-tell yousthe’ Lord shall not suffer you to perish.’ Down he knelt in the midst of the group while they instinctively drew back from him on all sides. But as his voice rose, they, too, began to kneel, at first those near him, then others back of them, until a hundred knelt about him. Prayer Interrupted “These people are but little chil- dren after all, seeing not, groping blindly, attempting weakly, blunder- ing always, yet never faltering in love for Thee, now I Thy servant, humble and lowly, implore Thee to save these children now, in this very moment — as his words rang out, ‘there had been quick, low, startled murmurs from the kneeling group about him and, now loud shouts in- terrupted his prayer, he opened his eyes. “From off toward the lake great flocks of gulls had appeared, whiten- ing the sky, and now dulling all other sounds with the beating of their wings and their high plaintive cries. Quickly they settled upon the field and when they left at night the harvest had been saved. “The next day after telling me this story, my old Elder friend and his daughter took me to the Temple square or park I would call it—where is located the great Mormon temple. “On the Temple square is located @ beautiful monument erected to the seagulls. It consists of a granite base 10 or 12 feet square, supporting @ round white marble shaft about 40 feet high, and on the top of that are posed two beautiful white gulls. On the four sides of the base are bronze tablets telling in carved pictures and writings the story of the Mormon crickets and the gulls from the lake. Roberts’ Sister Was Wilson’s Instructor M. L. Wilson, assistant secretary of agriculture, gives the sister of O. W. Roberts of Bismarck, federal meteoro- | logist, considerable credit for his mathematical “success.” She is Maria M. Roberts, dean of, the junior college at em ee col- | tion, stopped to see Roberts, observing that if it hadn’t been for “your sister I prob- ably never would have passed the course.” Roberts and Wilson both are grad- uates of the same college which also turned out in 1802 Henry Cantwell ‘Wallace, secretary of agriculture dur- ing.
