LAST CARLOAD
OF n. ID. HORSES
SHIPPED EAST

Fargo, April 2O.-Representatives
of the North Dakota Farm Bureau
federation sold 38 carloads of horses,
approximately 1000 head, through
out the New England states this
year, it was announced today by H.
B. Fuller, secretary.
The last carload of the year was
shipped last night from Whcatland,
N. D., Mr.. Fuller reports.
This last carload was one of the
best shipped east this season. It
contained 30 head of horses, IL of
which weighed 1000 pounds or bet
ter and three of which weighed 1900
pounds.
These are the kind of horses
that bring good returns back east"
Mr.. Fuller declared. "They demand
good, we'll fitted, and well condition
ed horses, and will pay good prices
for them but will not pay for poorly
conditioned animals in the rough.
"This carload was shipped to
Springfield. Mass, and was accom-
panied by R. c. Hooking.

BOSS TELLS STORY
HigginbOtham Blandly Re-

Tallahassee, Fla, April 20.kegis
lative investigation Of the deNh of
Martin Tabcrt of North Dakota was
rapidly drawing to close today as
two members of the committee de-
parted for Clara, Florida. near which
town Tabert is alleged to have been
beaten to death while servin" 90
day sentence in lumber camp.
The two committeeman will view
the grave of Tabert. Meanwhile the
investigation here has recessed un-
til Saturday. At that time eight
witnesses will be brought in by AS
sistant Attorney General Crimson and
Judge knecshaw of North Dakota.
The investigation yesterday was
marked by the appearance of Wal
ter Higginbotham, whipping boss at
the camp where Tabert died, and who
is under Indictment for first degree
murder in connection Herewith. Hig-
ginbotham testified that he averaged
about ten weekly punishments, mad
never given more than ten or twelve
lashes and had not been exception
ally severe in Taberts case.
The committees next investigation.
it is believed, will be an investiga-
tion of the camp of Senator Knabb
in Baker county. where Paul White
of Washington, ID. c., is alleged To
have been brutally beaten.
Boss Tells Story
HigginbOtham, 35 years old. attir-
ed in n neat blue serge suit and
silk shirt, came briskly into the COM
mittee room, in response to his sum-
mons. Committee members said
frankly that he belied their mental
pictures of him.
In giving his story Higginbotham
said: Martin Tabert was working
in section. His foreman told me
Tabert was not working. He report

niles so That Band Direc-
tor Can Begin Soon

Rismarck's band benefit under the
auspices of the Association of Com
mcrce went over the top in fine
shape last evening. Income from
ticket sales amounted to $992.3O. All
services were donated. The city fur
nlshed the Auditorium for this fine
community event and the only ex-
pense was $3.50 for the Hallowell
company. Application is in for
abatement of the war tax of 5000
which is customary in benefits of
this kind. If the war tax is abated
,the net proceeds for the band will
amount to $S42.30.
This will probably carry the band
over until fall or in other words
give the nucleus for fund that will
put a juvenile and adult band upon
Il firm financial footing. Next fall
will be held.
Steps will be taken at once to re-
gistcr the boys and girls and adults
who desire to join the new organiza-
tions 80 that when the leader comes
who is to be member of the High
school faculty, much of the pre-
lmnary registration work will be
done.
To Build Organization
1t is the intention to build up high
class musical organizations so tinanc-
cd that they can turn out on public
all ha
fine cooperation evidenced at this
benefit, it is believed that band
. through popular concerts and in
other ways can do much to raise
the funds necessary to keep up such
organizations.
The Auditorium was almost filed
for the event. Secretary Bradley Of
the Association of Commerce said
many compliments were received to-
day on the character Of the enter
tainment.
The event was a success financial
. ~ and, otherwise" said Mr.. Bradley
today "The response was most
gratifying to the association, and
shows the public is greatly interest
ed in the associations effort to put
band music on permanent basis
in the city"
Spencer Boise explained, during
the intcrmission of the concert, the
band program. He said the Elks
. sometime ago decided to take up the
matter Of promoting a juvenile
band. Later, he said, cooperative
arrangement was worked out where
by the program would be financed by
the Association of Commerce and
the city schools. L. C. Sorlien, Of
Hankinson, an accomplished musical
director, will teach part of the day
in the high school. and will devote
the remainder of his time to build
ing up juvenile band and orchestra
music in the city. He will arrive in
Bismarck witnln a rev weeks.
To build a permanent band in the
city it is necessary, Mr.. Boise said,
to train the youth in band music, to
take the places of those who faith
fully serve in the adult bands and
expect to relinquish this work after
years of service. He said steps
would be taken to enroll juvenile SO
that Mr.. Sorlein can begin instruc-
tion as soon as he arrives here.

tiger might snatch q morsel or
meat from cat.
In weighing one celestial body
against another we, at the same
time, measure their force OF at
traction upon one another. The
earth in terms of its mass
weighs about 81 times as much
as the moon; the earth there
fore pulls upon the moon with 81
times more force than the moon
exerts in pulling upon the earth.
But, since the force Of gravitation
diminishes in proportion as the
distance squared increases, and
since 81 Is the square of 8, 1t fol-
lows that upon q body placed
times farther from the earth than
from the moon, the moons attrac-
ton is just as great as the
earth's.
The point on the straight line
joining their centers where the
attractions Of the earth and the
moon become equal Is also the
point where they would balance
If placed at the opposite ends OF
a straight, rigid, weightless bar
equal in length to the distance
between their centers.
This is graphically shown In
the picture, where we see that the
principle of the lever, "teeter-
board" or prying-bar, applies to
the balancing Of the earth and
the c,oon about their common
center Of gravitational attrac-
ton. From this we can get q
rule of universal application.

MOROCCO is
PROMISING
COUNTRY

r oNDON-"Keep an eye on
Morocco" is the advice
A given to British business
men by c. G.. Hope Gill. British
vice consul at Casablanca.
Morocco, according to Gill, is
golden land of opportunity for
venturesome capital. It offers
field for profitable trade and ia
dustrial development worthy the
attention of business men who
seek commercial opportunities in
foreign countries.
Morocco" said GIL, els a
country that is developing. All
the country around Casablanca
Is being brought under crdtiva-
ton. Agriculture, at present, is
the backbone OF the country, but
1t Is the phosphates that offer
the greatest opportunity for de-
velopment.
The phosphate resources of
Morocco will last centuries, even
II worked at a high rate of pro-
duction. They are richer than
those Of Florida and, of course,
can be brought more easily and
more cheaply to England and the
continent.
THE country is being developed
and naturally, therefore, is bound
to give opportunities for the
1udicious use OF capital"
Gill came to London to advise
British firms on the possibilities
of trade with Morocco and the
opportunities for investment. He
declares that, although Morocco
Is a French protectorate, British
capital would be welcomed in
that country. incidentally he
declared that the present uncer.
tainty and instability of the
franc is hampering commerce in
Morocco.
THE principal requirement Of
Morocco" he said, ARE textiles.

kettles-candles and SOAP"

Now, by ordinary principle Of
the lever we know that the
earth's weight multiplied by x
must equal the moons weight
multiplied by d, or Elk equals Md.
Then x equals M divided by e.
But lin weight) M equals / and
z equals 81, so that X equals Id
divided by 81. But, again, d On
distance) equals 100000 minus x,
so that our equation finally be.
comes K equals 100000 minus X
divided by 81; or Six equals 24O,-
900 minus.
Transpose the minus and we
get 81 equals 100000; whence x
(the distance of the balance
poi from the earth's center) is
found to be 1927 miles, less a
small fraction. Then, since the
earth's radius Is 1000 miles
NEARLY. we find that the point
OF balance is about 1910 miles
below the earth's surface.
Now 1t Is about that point az
a common center that the earth
and the moon are constantly NOV
ing, for. in reality, the earth is
swung IN a little orbit by the
moon just as truly as the moon
Is swung In a large orbit by the
earth. So a child at the long
end Of a 'teeter-board' swings q
man at the short end. through
an arc shorter than that through
which the man swings the child
in the same proportion in which
the child's weight is less than
the mans.
We may now employ our rule
to ascertain where the point of
balance, or common center ~
gravity, lies between the great
planet Jupiter and the sun. For
E. the earth, substitute s. the
sun, and for M, the moon. mt r
Jupiter. The mean distance he.
tween them, or length of the
lever. is 4S3, 900. 900 miles. Let y
be the distance of the fulcrum
from the center of the sun, and
d its distance from the center NJ
Jupiter. Using the same process
as before, we get this eoua ton:
1,048 X equals 483, OOO, 900, whence
K equals about 400, 800 miles. The
radius of the sun being 433, 600
miles, this shows that the noint
of balance is about $4,000 miles
from it's surface.
