NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES

Visitors at the Normal School As
sembly for the past week have in
cluded the Rev. T. F. Gullixson, who
spoke on the Importance Of Christian
ideals and Robt. T. Muir, of the State
Board of Administration, who brot
brief greeting to the student body.
On another day about twenty-five
members of the Rotary Club were
present and took charge Of the As
sembly period. Mr.. Henry Wilson,
a former president of the Club, pre-
sided, and made a short Introductory
talk. Mr.. Cotton then lead the entire
group in song written by one of their
members, Boosting Minot". w. M.
Smart, president Of the City Commits
sion, gave an excellent address on
1.-THE Ideal Rotarian'', giving as his
conclusion the statement that the Ro-
tartan is one who truly serves. Supt.
L. A. White, of the city schools, en-
phasized the Rotarian motto, "Service
before self. He profits most who
serves best" In addition two North
Dakota songs were sung. The entire
program was much appreciated by
both faculty and students.
Perhaps one of the "Peppiest" meet
ings that have been held during the
Assembly time was Mr.. H. E. Folks
"pep" meeting on Friday morning.
School and state loyalty songs were
sung and yells learned and given in
a vigorous manner. A quartette
composed of Messrs. Cotton, Polk, Nu-
gent and Eide rendered several songs

Supt. N. E. Nugent of the Normal
Faculty, spent the week end with his
family at Larimore.
Miss Kathryn Bartron, a student,
is recovering nicely at the hospital
from an operation for appendicitis
which an acute attack of the disease
made imperative.
Friday of this week will be- an
evcntful day in the Summer School
calendar. 1t will be County Superin-
tendents' day, when they and the State
Superintendent will be the guests of
the Normal School. A special pro-
gram is being arranged for their en-
tertainment, tho the hours of the reg
ular school session will be kept free
so that they may visit the regular
classes and observe for themselves
the character Of the work. The Sup
erintendents of the Northwestern por-
ton of the state are vitality interested
in the work Of the Normal School.
The first half of the Summer Term
will close on Aug. 5th. Registration
for the following six weeks has al
ready been begun by the Registrar.
Miss Winsted. The attendance will
not be so large for the last half, but
probably 200 students will avail them
selves OF the opportunities offered.
Among these are number who have
been studying at the University for
the present six weeks. At the Minot
Normal an intensive six day week
pr gram will prevail so that the term
VII close on September 9th. This
is more satisfactory than the original
date for many schools open Sept. 18th
and sch Of the teachers as were in
attendance at the Normal would find
it necessary to provide substitutes for
4 week or longer.

Ward County Threshers Reduce Rates
20 to 80 Per Cent

The Threshers' meeting which was
held on July q was attended by about
fifty threshers and farmers who took
great interest in the meeting.
This meeting was also an import
ant one, coming just at this time of
the period of reconstruction and the
threshers showed that they were not
to be outdone in getting prices back
to normal. The farmers interest
was we'll taken care of by Fred An
derson of brady and Alfred Wal
ton from north of Minot, who acted
on the committee Of five. The other
three members representing the
threshers were C. O.. Carlson of Glen
burn, Frank Pratt of Des Laos and
D. Fl. Wagner of Des Laos.
The schedule as worked out by the
committee and adopted by the asso-
citation practically without change
shows reduction from former years
of 20 to 30 per cent in the threshing
rates. These rates are for hour
threshing. As it was conceded there
would be practically no threshing
done by the bushel in Ward county
this season.
For threshing with ten teams, two
spike pitchers and cook car, $500 per
hour, deducting $3.50 per hour per
team for less than ten teams or add
ing $3.50 per team per hour for MORE
than ten teams. Same rate applies
for spike pitcher, if less than two are
used and if wages would have to be
raised, threshing would have to be
raised accordingly.

LONDON MYsT|FIED At
HUGO SHINES VISIT
German Financial Leader De-
clarcs His Presence Is for
Private Business.
IIBy United Ncws,l

LONDON. Nov. 20.--Thc British
press is mystifcd and somewhat ex-
erciscd over the flying visit OF Hugo
SHINES. German capitalist, 20 Lon
don. SHINES has repeatedly insisted
that his trip To England was solely
IN private business. The German H.
nancial leader has had several APP
po.itmcnts since his arrival. and
plans to leave for Germany on Mon
day.
The London Express understands, IL
says, that SHINES Is attempting to
sell certain aniline dye secrets to the
British government.
Other reports are that SHINES came
20 London to inform the government
that Germany would be unable to
meet her reparations payments. This
rumor SHINES himself refused either
to affirm or deny, keeping closely the
secret of his real mission.
The visit has at leas, revived some
concern over Germany's financial po-
sition. II liz learned that Germany
has made no arrangements to acquire
the gold for her January payments.
Any one of three things may happen
either postponement OF the payment
the raising of Il loan based on sscur-
lty including Germany's industrial
assets, or raising of the amount
through the sale Of paper marks.
which would still further reduce tho
value of German currency.

TO DISCUSS RELATIONS :.
OF u. S. AND SOVIETS
IRy limited News.l

MOSCOW, Nov. a0.-Relations be-
tween the United States and Soviet
Russia are TO be discussed In Wash
ington, 1t Is learned here following
an announcement that America has no.
titled Russia that It does not oppose
contemplated visit to the Unitetl
states by Boris I.itvinoff, Russian
Trade Commissioner.
The announcement indicates that
the MOSCOW government has been
sounding Washington on various mat
ters. II being specifically declared
that the United States will not per-
nit any Russian participation in the
limitation Of ornaments and Far
Eastern conference.
The government announcement. as
interpreted here, means that what
ever discussion there is Mt Washing
ton will deal only with present Rus
sian American problems.
Litvinor has been acting as. n
travelling salesman for the Soviets
and has visited various European
countries arranging trade treaties
and other economic details.
II Is believed his primary mission
10 Washington Will be to reopen rus
SIAN American trade channels. which
nave been blocked since the overthrow
OF the Kercnsky regime.
The communication conserving ito
the dispatch of n Soviet repre- sefita-
tive WAS received indirectly, and the
resulting conference of the council
or corimissarS was marked by cX-
prcssi"ns of disappointment over the
fact that Russia will be excluded from
the disarmament conference and tho
Far Eastern discussion.
In well-inforIncd circles 1t is pre-:
dicted that the Soviet reply to this
communication, 10 be addressed di-
rectly To the state Department., will
urge that Russia be permitted TO dis,
cuss with representatives of other
powers such matters as the debts
OF The CZarist regime and with,
american representatives the rela-
tionship TO be established between
America and Russia.

Covering by shorts furnished the
greater part Of the demand OF the

hope of constructive events as tho
results of the international confer

easiness OF money, smaller spot Of
fertngs III the interior and the con-
tinued very large mill takings. Buy
ing for long account appeared to DO
along very moderate lines. At times
trade buying was important.
To some extent business was re-
stricted by the nearness OF the Cen
sus Bureaus nth ginning report of
the season. at first, some little SELL
Ing was encouraged by expectations
entertained regarding this report, but
later on the disposition was TO buy

that ut the middle of November the
crop was 9S.S per cent picked The
estimate from private sources that
attracted most attention placed GIN
ming to :hc 1ith of November at
1921 900 bales. and for while this
was used as an argument that tho

of the season, not due until the 10th

In the last two sessions OF the week
statistics were an underlying bullish

world takings OF American cotton at

last year. and 100000 this week two
years ago. bringing the total thus
far this season up to i,il5.000 bales
against 100000 to the same date last
year, and 3,iS9,000 to the same date
two years ago. Bullish traders
pointed out that the mills had al
ready taken over half tho crop grown
this season. even though 1t proves to
be as large rs the outside figures now
prevalent, namely, 100000 bales. ~
This coming week the Census Blu
