WILL MARY LEAVE HIM AT
CHURCH FOR FIFTH TIME?

tBy The United Press)
Paris, April 20-ls Allister Ne
Cormick to be left waiting at the
church for the fifth time?
All Paris is asking this question
today, astounded by sudden develop
ments In the Chicago romance OF
which the consummatlon has been
so many times postponed
Instead OF Fastening to her fiance,
Mary Landon Baker, has gone to
Normandy, where its apple blossom
time, to live quietly on farm and
"think over her approaching we'd
ding"
Viscount Janze, whose wife, the
Viscountess, accompanied the Chi
cago girl to her Normandy retreat,
made this announcement today He
declared Miss Baker was extremely
nervous and that II would be neces-
sary for her to rest at least a
month.
Then he cast fresh doubt upon
the much-postponed marriage to Nc
Cormlck, who waits in England fo''
his bride, by saying:
Miss Baker must live the life OF
a farmer for month or so. She
wants to think over the wedding
quietly by herself. After that she
can consider what she will do. She
doesn't know whether Mr. McGor-
mick is coming to France to see
her or not think not"
All efforts to reach Miss Baker
personally failed. The Chicago girl
was bright and smiling when seen
by United Press correspondent
yesterday. She declared she would
remain in Paris a fortnight to huy
her trousseau and then would hurry
to London to be married
Immediately after Miss Baker
made this statement, she was hur
ried inside closed car and taken
to the home Of viscount and Wis
countess Janze, who refused permis-
sion for further talks, saying here
after that Viscount Janze would
speak for her.
The story told reporters today by
the viscount following the secret
hasty departure of the Viscountess
and Miss Baker for Normandy, was
quite different from that told by
Miss Baker.
MISS Baker was the mystery
woman" Of the Aquitania, on which
she crossed the Atlantic. Passen-
gers said she kept to her cabin, ac-
.,mps1ied by a companion. She
did not mingle with other voyagers.

these articles, too. but We also ship.
ped TO her big consignments Of man
ufactured articles, especially ma

Cuba bought from the United States
last year more rails. freight cars, To-

world. The biggest part Of our

In fact sugar Is the basis Of the
biggest part Of our Cuban trade

that trade we must not hamper Il

MIN0T WILL MARKET MILLION
BUSHELS OF WHEAT TfIS}FALL

Hundreds of loads of grain we're
marketed in Minot Saturday, the
greatest amount in any one day dur
ing the past five or six years. The
grain is fairly pouring into the city
this week, the roads being in perfect
condition and trucks bringing in wheat
from many miles distant, on account
of elevators being filled at other
points. The Minot elevators and mills
have been able to accept the wheat
and other grain, but they have not
been able to get any surplus cars The
railroads have allotted the Minot
grain dealers about ten or twelve
cars day which has enabled them to
accept all grain brot to Minot so far.
Sometimes it is necessary for one ele-
vator to turn down one kind Of grain
and divert it to another elevator, but
it has all been taken care Of in one
way or another.
The Minot grain dealers are han
ding about $50 wagon and truck
loads Of grain a day at present. The
trucks have extended our territory
and one elevator in Minot has bought
about as much grain already this sea-
son as it bought during the entire
season last year.
1t is estimated that the Minot grain
houses will have marketed fully mil
lion bushels of wheat by the end of
the season. ess...

IMMENSE CROWD WILL SEE ALL
AMERICAN STARS PLAY SUNDAY

An immense crowd from all sec
tions of North Dakota will witness the
ball game between the American All
Stars and the very strongest team
that can be mustered in North Da-
kota, which will be played at the
Ward county fair grounds, Sunday
afternoon, Oct. Is, at 3 o'clock, if the
present good weather continues. =
H. H. Hester, manager Of the Mi
not baseball team, who is arranging
for the event, reported Tuesday that
all of the reserved tickets in the
grandstand had been sold with the
exception of about 200. A charge of
$1.65 is being made for the reserved
tickets and 10 cents for children.
If the weather will not permit a
game to be played, Mr.. Hester offers
to give the money paid for tickets
back to the purchasers.
Mr.. Hester has visited all of the
surrounding towns and is meeting
with hearty cooperation. He has to
furnish very large guarantee, and
he deserves much credit for bringing
these players, who are among the
most prominent baseball stars, to Mi
not.
The All American stars are enroute
to Japan where they will play against
the Japanese University students
during the coming winter. They are
being taken to Japan by that govern
ment to foster the baseball spirit in
the Orient. This is their only Sun
day engagement enroute. y
The pitchers include Walter John
son, Of Washington, perhaps the
worlds greatest baseball pitcher, and
Covaleski of Cleveland, Rowell Of
Philadelphia and Robertson Of Chi
cago. The other lineup is as follows:
1b, Bule, Detroit; 2b, Harris, Wash
ington; SIS, Sewell, Cleveland; 3b, Du-
gan, New York; If, Walker, Philadel-
phia; cf, Hooper, Chicago; IF, Rice,
Washington.
Nick Altrock, one Of the greatest of
Americas diamond comedians will
accompany the players. These men
are all 1922 stars, not one of them a
has-been.
Chas. Boardman will pitch for the
North Dakota team. He is a popular
southpaw. The lineup has not been
completed, but it is said that the visi-
tors will be given some little surprise.
Mr.. Hester states that a special
train will be run down from Grenora.
Red Faber and Earl Shealey Of The
Chicago White Sox, old friends of Mr..
Hester, expect to arrive in Minot Oct.
II, providing they finish their playing
in Chicago. They hope to hunt ducks
here for day or two. They will go
to their home in Spokane, where a
homecoming has been arranged for
them, the two players to receive the
entire gate receipts. It is possible
that they will remain here to witness
Sundays game.

Minneapolis, Oct. 10.-Organized

Officials forecast that the paid ad-
missions would register between 49,

goal for thousands Of exposition bound
visitors, who arrived carrying gaudy
banners announcing their residence.
Bands played while they paraded
through the downtown districts, liber-
ally decorated for the occasion. Resi-
dents of the twin cities> greeted the
automobile caravans.

with the people of North Dakota in
emphasis to encouragement of
the dairy industry by taking part in
this national demonstration of the ex-
position" Governor r. A. Nestos of
North Dakota said in his address at
the Hippodrome late today.
~ believe in diversified farming,
and think that North Dakota can be-
come one Of the greatest exponents
of diversified agriculture in the union.
Our soil and climate and the freight
rates to which we are subject give
the diversified type advantages over
single crop farming which few other
states can give. We can produce al
falfa and clover as cheaply as any
other state in the world, and the
freight rates make it particularly ad-
vantageous to ship our crop products
in the form of butter, beef, pork,
poultry and cream"
