The Inauguration of Better Ad-
vertising Week by our Educational
Department is indeed most timely.
We are all looking for better business
and better advertising backed up by
better selling should indeed make for
better business and better under
standing of this advertising on the
part of the public will be great help
toward that end. -, --.
In meeting these new business con-
ditions it is essential that every part
of business become more efficient.

lines. #E. aa-. "

MANY KINDS OF
WHEAT. SOWN

North Dakota still leads the states
as a source of supply for macaroni,
and more than half of the macaroni
wheat Of the country comes from the
state" says M. A. Mangels of the
State Experiment Mill at the Agri-
cultural College in which trials and
experiments with North Dakota wheat
are conducted. Two well-known and
widely grown North Dakota durums,
Kubanka and Arnautka, posses all
the qualities necessary Tor making
macaroni and spaghetti.
Forty-fve percent Of the wheat
grown in the state this year will be
durums Of five varieties: Kubanka,
Arnautka, Monad, Acme, and D-5.
Because Of the resistance of these
wheats to rust and their ability to
withstand drouth they are gradually
replacing the hard spring wheats. Of
these five varities Kubanka and Ar
nautka are perferred by the trade for
making macaroni and in the future
will control a higher price on the
grain markets.
In making macaroni it is essential
that an amberdurum be used, declares
Mr.. Mangels. This assures finished
product Of creamy yellow tint; most
desired by all macaroni eaters and
an important factor in its sales. The
process of making macaroni is not
simple. The wheat is not ground, but
granulated, and this granulated sub
stance is called semolina. The semo-
lima is then wet and run through
presses which put the hole in the tube;
the tubes are then dried at low
temperature over a period of five to
seven days. The finished product is
packed or sold in bulk, the poor
grades are sold in barrels. Semolina
is also used in making creamettes,
spaghetti, vermicelli, and noodles.
"The general object of the Expert
mental Mill at the Agricultural Col
lege," said DR.. P. F. Trowbridge, Dl-
rector of che peEiusEt Station. lis
to find commercial outlets for North
Dakota wheats. The mill is but a
part of the Experiment Station, we
have departments Of agronomy, biol
ogy, chemistry, animal husbandry,
dairy, cereals, entomology, horticul-
ture, publicity, marketing, costs ac-
counts, veterinary, demonstration
farms, and sub-stations, all working
in the interests of the farmers Of the
state"
The Experiment Station is one Of
the coordinate parts of the North
Dakota Agricultural College. 1t was
established with the institution and
the presid ent of the college acted as
director of the station until 1915
when Thomas C. Cooper was appoint
ed director. In>191S DR.. Trowbridge,
of the University Of Missouri, sue
ceeded Mr.. Cooper and is now in
charge of the work.

THE DOPE SHEET

Charlie BOardman is busy man
these days exercising his youngsters
who have reported for tryouts at the
ball park. There are eleven players

there are three or four real ball play
ers, which is a PRETTY good perccnt-
age for unsigned players. o. course

Racicot, an outfielder from Little
Falls, shows up the best in fielding
and hitting. He is free swinging
hitter, shows good judgment in pick
ing the balls, and drove good many
balls over the left field fence yester-
day afternoon. He is fast on his feet
and, to an outsider, it looks us though

contract was very good. BY the way,
don't sneeze that name, Racicot. 1t

other outfielder from Alexander, llav-

pitcher, shows lot o. steam but is
a little wild. He nee's considerable
seasoning but will be he:r'! from in

on the ball and seems to be 4 steady
ball player but is somewhat handi-
capped by sore arm 1t is thought
that this soreness may w.'rk out With

SPENDTHRIFT, H0ARDER OR INVESTOR

There are many different kinds of men with
money.
One kind spends his money soon as he gets it
for an automobile, clothes, food or drink, as his
inclinatOns tend.
Another man will carry his money on his person
or put it in stocking, mattress, or bureau
drawer. He gets no interest and takes the risk of
fire or theft - or perhaps his life.
Another man - many men, let us hope will
deposit his money regularly in our Savings De
partment or in our Certificates of Deposits. He
gets percent compound interest and has his
money when he may need it to invest not in some
wildcat stock, but in home a farm, some
sound investment or splendid business opportunity

story. II doel not gibe with Mrs. Halls
statement that Hall did not leave home
until 1880. IL would have been all Hall
could do to get 10 the point Mrs. Har-
kins speaks of in the time. had he hur-
ried and been extremely fortunate in
catching a street car. There Is the ad-
ditional fact that no motorman or con-
ductor remembers seeing him. nor did
any one or the many hundred who
knew him see him after he left his
home that night The Hall home Ia far
across the other side Of town from tho
place at which Mrs. Harhins says she
saw the rector.
It appears that there had been gossip
as to the friendship between Hall ana
Mrs. Mills and that the church author-
ties had heard IL, though up TO the pres
ent they had not indicated such a
thing.
Ralph " M. Gorsline. member OF the
vestry, admitted to-day that year ago
there had been talk and that one OF the
vestrymen had gone to Hall and told
him OF the gossip, at the same time as
suring him that no one believed the
tales or took stock in the unpleasant
suggestions Gorsline said that al far
as he knew no one had carried tales 70
Mrs. Hall.
Harold r. Flick, a m&hber OF the
choir also had known OF the gossip,
but he did not believe there was any
foundation for it. He said Hall was al
ways a good fellow and liked to
mingle with the younger crowd IN the
church. He was, said Flick, more at
tentive to Mrs. Mills than TO the other
members of the choir
Always Mt Choir Practice.
Mrs Irving T. Jordan, leader OF the
choir, recalled that Hall nearly always
attended choir practice, and that he
stayed to the end and even afterward.
Mrs Mills staying too. Mrs. Jordan
says there was hardly time that she
left choir practice that she did not leave
Hall and Mrs. Mills behind her.
Evidently the choir was not what
might be termed harmonious.

occurred in the interim has been one
or the puzzles o IA complicated case.
Now there appear persons whose
stories would indicate that the killing
took place In the neighborhood or 5
O'Clock and whose versions OF what they
saw and heard apparently contradict the
statements already on the record. This
raises the question whether some OF the
people OF New brunswick have not had
their imaginations aroused beyond the
usual point by reading OF the murder.

which the bodies were found. She has
told score OF people she heard shots at

Russy lane, about 100 yards from
Easton avenue
Right opposite the gste through which
access is obtained to the Hoag place
across Easton avenue. which is the main
road to Bound Brook. the Tingles live.
They say they heard the shots that are
supposed to have ended the lives Of Hall
and Mrs, Mills just after they went up
stairs and that they retired at 10
o'clock. Three contradictory stories as
TO the time of the actual shooting are
therefore on the record.
Tonight MRS. Lee Harkins OF los
Richardson avenue asserted that she
saw both Hall and Mrs. Mills on the
evening of the murder. She felt sure
of her story and explained her silence
up to the present by her reluctance to
get into the limelight Her assertion Is
that she saw the pair, beyond the end
of the Easton avenue trolley line at 8
o'clock and she thinks the two were
murdered just after that time She
says she was out for short walk with
Mrs Bliss and heard steps behind her
Turning she saw Mrs. Mills, whom she
knew

him. After he passed us he continued
to look around. That was the last

Willie Stevens. She also heard some
sounds about four o'clock which she
supposed were made by Mrs. Hall re-
turning from her fruitless search IN
the church for her husband
Mills. who for the last day or so has
been going about his work as janitor
of the Lord Sterling School in much the
usual fashion despite the tragedy, was
visited this morning by detectives. They
remained for some time, and later when
an effort was made to locate Mills he
could not be ofund. 1t is not clear. how
ever. that the detectives devoted much
time 10 further questioning OF the
sexton and II Is believed they were
more concerned with the various stories
being told by Charlotte. the sixteen year
old daughter.
Charlotte repudiated almost in it's en-
tirety the statement she made yesterday
and at one time said she had seen no
reporters.
The New York herald., 1922-09-24

There was a woman who had the rep
utation OF being jealous OF Mrs. Mills'i
voice and OF admring the rector. Ac'
cording to Mrs Jordan, this woman
usually took sides against Mrs. Mill:
when there was an argument or any
unpleasantness In the choir. However
Mrs. Jordan is OF the belief that both
Mrs, Mills and the woman referred e
were sincere church workers.
Miss Jessie Jameson. who works in q
department store. said to-day that Hal
called on her at o'clock on the Thurs
day OF the murder and brought hel
some flowers, She was III, she said, and
in this point Mrs. Han Is In agreement
with her to an extent admitting thai
Hall was taking flowers TO the sick
The assumption Is that Hall stopped tc
sec Miss Jameson on his way to make
the speech to which Mrs. Hall refers In
her statement.
Miss Jameson says also that she had
noticed the growing friendship between
Hall and Mrs. Mius. but denied with
he should watch his wife. She says she
knew and liked both the Halls. but did
not know Mrs. Mills well.
On the other hand. IL appears that
right in the Hall house is close friend
OF Mrs. Mills in tho Scotch woman, Bar
hara Tough. 4 seamstress, who has been
a member OF the Hall household for six
and q half years.
She said to-day that she, Mrs. Mills
and Mrs. Minna Clarke were the closest
Of friends for years. She Is surprised
the authorities have not questioned her.
She knows Miss Jamieson, too. and
said:
"Oh. Miss Jameson loved Mr.. Hall
that is. of course. just as her rector"
The seamstress made it clear she did
not think there was any love lost be-
tween Miss Jameson and Mrs. Mills
AS TO the Halls. she said they always
appeared. as she put 1t, like turtle
doves and THE most loving couple"
she had ever seen. She recalled some
thing Of the night of the murder, hav-
ing heard a sound about two o'clock
which she then thought was the closing
Of the windows by the rector, but now

o'clock on that day and that II was
after that when he went to the police
The Senator let il be understood II was
after he had been TO the Hall home anc
not after he got the telephone message
that he went to the police.
As to the events OF the previous nlght
Mrs Halls statement varies from tbs
versions so far on record in that she
fixes the time at which she reused her
brother William at 2:@ o'clock. Here
tofore the understanding has been that
the hour was O'clock. The variation
takes her visit TO the church in the
night time further than ever from the
time Mills. the husband OF the choir
singer. made his nocturnal trip.
Reference 10 Private Enemies.
AT the conclusion OF her statement
Mrs Hall refers to private enemies.
Tonight an effort was made 10 get a
clarfication OF that statement and an
explanatior OF the qualification. A

private" was unfortunate and that the
qualification meant nothing.
The one thing the statement really
accomplished was to indicate that Mrs,
Hall was not In any fear of putting
herself on record. II appeared later
too, that the secrecy maintained is the
re suit OF legal advice and that members
of the family have agreed the policy
so far pursued has been bad one. The
statement, in fact, was issuedd only
after Senator Florence had protested
and been overruled.
The element Of time that has been

Stock Market Still
On Upward Trend

New York, April 7-Subject only
to moderate reversals, due to cash
ing in of profits, the stock market
today resumed it's, upward sweep,
sales of 1,650,000 shares establishing
another new high record for almost
two years.
The further rise was character
lied by net gains Of two 10 over 10
points in popular steels, with gulf
states as the outstanding feature.
That same stock several months ago
enlivened the market by it's extraod-
mary gyrations but today's gain Of
10 SIS points was almost steady and
resulted from purchases of about
$4,000 shares.
Rumor and stock market & ossip
again associated gulf states with an
important part in one or more OF
the several mergers or consultations
still under discussion, but today's
buoyant rise was preceded by state
