NOT TO WITHDRAW

Grand Forks, N. D., July 17-'In
my own judgment the people that I
have kept faith with and those that
have kept faith with me would not
sanction my withdrawaP'. This was
the answer of J. F. T. O'Connor to the
United Press about the rumors Of his
withdrawal from the senate race in
favor Of another man nominated by
the Independents. "You are the first
to advise me of these rumors", he
said No doubt these rumors are COM
ing from those who are opposed to tho
Independents in this state. 81 have
worked with the Independents for 6
years and they are satisfied with my
nomination. O'Connor clubs and per-
sonal letters have convinced me to this
belief"
"In 1920 l made 191 speeches when
l opposed Mr.. Frazier for the COVER
norship. In this coming campaign I
expect to make 800 speeches. Many
know that Nestos can not be defeated
for reelection for governor unless
some other independent can be placed
on the ballot, thus splitting the VOTE"

1t seems that there is "Peeping
Tom" loose in the city that has been
annoying residents lately. The police
department received three calls on
Saturday night telling of some fellow
trying to get into homes in various
parts of the city. The first call was
from the Park Avenue dormitory
where a stranger had taken ladder
and attempted to climb to the upper
story windows. The cries OF the girls
rooming there frightened him away
before the police arrived. Shortly af-
ter that they received another call
from Tom Cannon residence on Fourth
street. The man had gotten ladder
from the rear Of the yard and had
attempted to climb in the upstairs
window there but he was discovered
and disappeared before the arrival of
the police. The third call was from
west Fifth street where the stranger
had gone through the same perform
ance and escaped. There were reports

Promis ent Farmer Near
s. Luverne Disappears

Nelson was in good financial concit-
ion and has not had any serious trou-
bles that they knew of. He is Sin
gle and in good health and no reason
is known that would account for the
disappearance. If he had been con-
templating trip the neighbors would
have known Of it and arrangements
would have been made for the care of
his stock.
Mr.. Nelson is an uncle O. Mrs. J. A.
KRONER of this city.
Mr.. Nelson is fifty years of age,
about five feet six inches tall, weighs
155 pounds and when last seen was
wearing a hat, blue overalls and q
blue overalls and a blue shirt. He is
fairly full faced and has brown hair.
There are no distinguishing marks or
characteristics by which he may be
identified.
Aviator Earl Fladeland, of Port
land, N. D., has been secured and will
be at Luverne today to search the
country for any signs of the lost man.

MAHONEY BLOCKS NEW PLAN

Crookston, Mimi, July 1S-William
Mahoney, Of St. Paul, labor leader,
today blocked a movement to indorse
the Zone Big Union" on the floor of
the Minnesota federation Of labor
convention. Radicals at the conven-
ton presented a resolution recon-
mending the one big union and tried
to rush it through. Mahoney offered
an amendment to the resolution to re-
fer it back to the local unions which
was easily carried and the radicals
suffered their first defeat. They are
expected to start another fight for the
resolution.

of Luverr 4. Dak., disappeared on
Friday a ,aoon and has not been

the district have been out looking for
Mr.. Nelson since his disappear ecce
but no trace of him can be found.
Particulars of the disappearance are
meager but it seems that Mr.. Nelson
took several ladies to a Ladies Aid
meeting on Friday afternoon in his
automobile. He left them at their
meeting place and returned to his
home. The last seen of him was when
he left the ladies at their meeting.
Investigation showed his car to be in
his garage, his clothes are il the
house in good order and his personal
effects in their usual place. The
Sheyenne river is near his place but
it is not thought that he could have
lost his life there.

CRAINMEN'S UNION
ADJ0URNS MEETING

The Grainmen's Union adjourned
their 1922 session yesterday afternoon
following the afternoon program and
the election of officers for the ensu-
ing year. General A. P. Peate ad-
dressed the gathering in the after
noon on the Great Lakes-St. Law
renee Deep Waterways project. Gen.
eral Peake is thoroly familiar with
his subject, leads up to the main ques-
tion with historical reference to the
waterways and advances a strong
argument for the successful culmina-
ton Of the project.
The election of officers for the en-
suing year resulted in the election of
L. H. Palmer, Hurdsfeld, N. Dak.,
president; B. C. Hanson, Hastings.
N. Dak., vice president; G. H. Bruins,
Valley City, former president, secre-
tary; ]. P. Peterson, Valley City,
treasurer. The directors named are
as follows: G. F. Schoen, Oriska;
Dan Haffey, Eckelson, and J. H. S.
Thomson, Valley City.
The attendance at the session was
decidedly disapp pointing, very few of
the sixteen hundred members putting
in an appearance. For that reason
it was decided that it was useless to
continue the session after the busi-
ness was completed and adjournment
was taken at the conclusion of yes
terday's session.

of further attempts in the city but
they were not reported to the police.
No clue has been found as to the iden-
tity of the man as the darkness pre-
vented any accurate description of his
appearance being obtained. No re-
ports were received at the police sta
tion last night so that it is possible that
the man had discontinued his actions.
If, when any person attempts to gain
entrance to home in the city, the
resident would call the police station
quietly, keep the lights turned off
and not make noise until absolutely
necessary it would be much easier
for the police to apprehend the per-
son. In the case of the scares Satur-
day night those living in the places
visited turned on the lights and
screamed so that the man was warn
ed and had disappeared before the
police arrived, although they arrived
on the scene in record time.

LABOR AGENCIES
ARE NOW OPEN

These State-Federal Labor Agencies
are now opened to attempt to supply
the demand for harvest laborers with
these in charge: Fargo, Mrs. M. B.
Bowe; Bismarck, Herman Brocopp;
Grand Forks, D. B. Morris, County
Agent; Minot, Clyde L. Nelson; Dew
lis Lake, Michael Noonan; Oakes, Ed.
Stock; Jamestown, Mrs. Mabel Fore
man, County Agent.
We are suggesting to these Agen-
cies that they cooperate to the full
est extent with the County Agents of
the various counties, secretaries of
Commercial Clubs and any local labor
agencies organized and operating
without profit. These State-F Federal
Employment Agencies are operated
absolutely free and any attempt to
solicit or take pay or commission be-
ling heavily penalized by law.
In answer to advertisements, print
ed in leading daily papers in the south
in making call for harvest help, we
have received hundreds Of letters
from a good class of help, who in
variably state they do not have funds
to purchase railway tickets, or who
felt that the regular rate was prohi-
bitive for a person coming to take in
the harvest work. Up to this time
our appeals to Washington, and to
the, Railway companies themselves
have availed US little in an effort to
secure reduced rate for this tran
sient help. The Railway companies
stated they would be glad to cooper
! ate in this matter il possible, but
their answers were generally the
same and one General Passenger
Agent writes, ''If the concession in
fares could be limited to harvest
hands, the problem would be simple
one, easy of solution, as we could
, adopt regulations and restrictions as
, would insure these fares being limit
ed to the class of business for which
they were instituted. Under the In
terstate Commerce Law, however, we
cannot discriminate between passen-
gers or inquire as to the mission or
purpose of person purchasing trans
portation. All must be treated alike
/ and reduced fare offered for any
one class of business must be extend
ed to all Others" The press states
the Governor is to have a conference
with Railway officials today in St
Paul, on this very subject matter. We
hope some method will be devolved in
this conference whereby rate car
, be secured, as this seems to be the
only bar to sufficient harvest laborers
coming into the state.
This Office would be pleased to have
your opinion from time to time on Ia
Dor and crop conditions.

WEST MOTOR
SALES COMPANY
New Business Institution Takes Over
Ford Sales And Service At VAL
ley City.

Some few days ago w. w. West
withdrew from the firm Of Embertson
& West and took with him the busi-
ness of the Ford company with it's
service. For some days Mr.. West has
been looking around for building to
open up business suitable for the very
large trade that the Ford agency and
service requires. In an announcement
today in this paper he says that the
West Motor Sales Company has Sc
cured quarters for the present in the
building of Reidman & Ellis at which
place he hopes to see his friends and
all those who want Ford service. Ser
vice is what he aims to give them
right up to the minute. He will carry
a complete line Of Ford cars, trucks,
tractors and complete line of Ford
repairs so that anybody wanting to
get part or a complete car or trac-
tor or truck can get it right off the
bat. AS soon as he can he will secure
larger and more commodious quarters
for the business which requires lots
of space, but in the meantime he will
be able to handle your wants in good
shape on Main street at the Reidman
& Ellis building. In this connection
we might say that that rustler of
sales, Ed. Kroner, who has had
charge of the sales department for
the Ford with Embertson & West,
will be with the new company, which
assures everyone that the sales part
of the institution will be looked after
in good shape. Ed. is some salesman
and is hustler from the ground up.
Walter Wicks, who has been a sales
man with the old firm, also goes to
the new firm, and he is another live
wire. Then there is Norman Froid,
who has been in charge Of the service
department with the old firm, will go
with the new firm and will have
charge of the service department of
the West Motor Sales Company. This
means real service because Norman is
A No. 1 at this job and all patrons of
the new firm can be assured of ade-
quate, efficient and prompt service at
his hands. This is a mighty good
lineup for the new firm. In this con-
nection the Times-Record wants to
register its satisfaction and pleasure
at knowing that Mr.. West and fam
lily are to remain at Valley City They
have made many friends since COM
ing here who will be glad of this fact
To the new firm it is our hope and
wish that it will meet with abundart
success in the undertaking. Drop in
and see Friend West when you want
Ford service or you want to buy a
Ford car, truck or tractor, and wheth-
er you want to buy or not he and his
bunch of good fellows will be glad to
see you at the new location on Main
street.

SITUATION NOW
VERY CRITICAL
WILSON SAYS
Cool Weather for Next Few Days
Will Be Redeeming Feature.

Black stem rust is attacking the
wheat fields of Cass county, and the
extent of the damage that will be
caused depends entirely upon weather
conditions for the next week or ten
days.
This statement was made by E. A.
Wilson, Caiss county agricultural
agent, last evening after he had ex-
amined several fields yesterday. He
said that red rust is prevalent in al
most every field, and that in several
instances it had entered the black
stage. He made the assertion that
some damage has already been caus-
ed, in every case light, but that the
situation now is exceedingly critical
Almost perfect weather conditions
must prevail from now until the grain
is almost ripe if there is not to be
serious loss in the wheat field, he
says.
Il am hoping for the best, but it is
almost too much to expect that
weather conditions will be such now
that black rust will not develop rap
idly" said Mr.. Wilson. "Today's heat
certainly has developed rust to the
danger point. There was one redeem
ing feature in today's weather, and
that was the wind. There was little
dew last night and that helped a lot.
A rain now would be a bad thing.
$50 far the damage has been only
slight but few days of hot weather
and dewy nights would raise havoc
with the wheat crop.
"This grain is now at a very criti-
cal stage and the next few days will
tell the story. If we get cool weather
for few days now the damage will
be negligible. There are plots OF
wheat at the agricultural college that
show serious effects Of rust now
These are of the less resistant varie-
ties. I have seen no fields in the
country as badly effected"
Mr.. Wilson said that the rust is
more apparent in the valley than in
the western part Of the county where
the soil is lighter.
!, The hot weather Of the past two
days has caused the people OF the
state to anxiously await reports from
the wheat fields. The knowledge that
red rust has been prevalent In the
fields for some time back has caused
anxiety for the safety Of the crop
almost everywhere. 1t has been gen
orally conceded that only continued
,, cool weather would pull the crop thru
Last night prospects were for cool
er weather today.
No rust reports were received yes
terday from other sections Of the
state.

A MOTHER
GIVES THANKS

Some time ago in these columns we
asked those who had clothing they
could furnish to help out family at
Rolla, North Dakota, to notify Mrs.
Trubshaw. A very generous response
was received from our people here,
and in due course of time very large
box of useful clothes were sent to the
family in need. Recently Mrs. Trub-
shaw received a letter expressing
gratitude to those who had so gener-
ously helped out this worthy family,
and in the letter the good mother de-
sires to extend her heartfelt thanks to
one and all for their kindness and to
say that she is grateful beyond hu-
man expression. There were several
others who sent packages in addition
to that box and these have probably
heard in person from this mother.
Maybe if you read her letter it will
give you better idea of how CRATE
full she feels to you all. Here is the
letter:
Rolla, No. Dak.,
Monday, July 10, '22.
Dear Mrs. Trubshaw:
We received the box of clothing
Saturday. 1t was somewhat delayed,
the agent said. We asked for it every
day last week, then Thursday l went
to town and l told him about it and
he said he would hunt it up, and Sat-
urday it came. Such a lot of good
clothes. | don't know what to say,
to show you how thankful we are. |
know l can never repay you and Mr..
Trubshaw for all the kindness you
have done to us. May God bless you,
and do to you as you have done to US.
Dear Mrs. Trubshaw, words fail to
express my feelings, but you know
how happy am, don't you? 1t was
a happy day when | wrote to you the
first time. asked God so many times
he mustn't fail me now, and l know
he is closest when we need him most
Yesterday we were sorting and
packing away the clothes, each in
their own drawer. We also packed up
a box for one other family, as there
were some things too small for me-
and some too large for my girl, and it
was just right for them. Well, l dc
not have to wait for every flour sack
to become empty now, so could take
and make a garment of some kind, as
I did before. The one who needed il
most would get it. Now l am going
to save them till I get many and ther
make sheets and pillow cases from
them.
Just think! Mr.. Andreason sent my
boy Of twelve a brand new suit o1
clothes and nine pair of new stockings
for the children and myself; and {
dress and apron and 20 yards of ging
ham, two shirts, everything new. HI
must be splendid man, and differ
ent from most storekeepers.
[ I will now write to Mr.. Dalton ant
Mrs. Geo. Karshner; also the Teach
ers College, to the sewing department
should write each one who sen
the things, but I do not know thei
names and that is why l hope MI
Trubshaw will put a few lines in tn
paper again and tell them l wish t
thank each one Of them for their grea
kindness to me and mine, but most o
all l thank yourself and Mr.. TrubshaN
as I know very we'll if you hadn't tax
en- any notice Of my letter. nothin
would have come of it. L am going
send you a nice turkey for you
Thanksgiving dinner. My husban
and I agreed to that long ago. kno
that isn't much, but I've got to q
something to show you how I appr'
