POLISH AMNESTY BILL.

A dispatch from Warsaw states that the Polish government has sub mitted to parliament a bill granting amnesty for all offenses committed entirely or partly from political or religious motives. If this bill is passed, of which there is little doubt, it will be another rebuke to "these United States" where political pris- oners are still given very little jus tice.

Work Tearing Up Bridge
Street ~Started-HoIe-in-
Wall Work is Pushed

SOUTH AMBoY, Aug. 24:-lWith
two steam rollers on the job the
work of tearing up Bridge street and
Ridgeway venue in preparation for
the new concrete road has at last
been started. These streets are
closed to traffic which will help the
contractors to enter upon the work
without any delays from traffic. The
closing of these streets has taken
from the residents of Mechanicsville
the bus service they have enjoyed
for the past three years and has been
the cause for much criticism by
many of the people In the habit OF
using the buses for transportation to
and from this city al well as to and
from Perth Amboy.
The council at their last meeting
Tuesday night instructed the chief
of police to notify the bus operators
that 1t would be necessary to give
some sort of service to the people
in this section of the city. Acting
Chief of Police Gleason has been be-
sieged from all sections with requests
to get the shuttle bus in operation
IS soon as possible. Bus owners
hesitate to place in operation a shut
tie bus. They point out that the ex-
pense will be a trife too much for
them, although they do seem anxious
to cope with the situation as far as
possible. 1t was decided at a confer
ence yesterday to run a shuttle into
Mechanicsville, the various bus own
ers to take turns in giving the SER
vice.
The Hole-in-the-Wall is fast shap-
ing itself into a far different state
of affairs. Part of the wall on the
east side at the southern end has
been completed and work on the
west side will be started within a
day or so. Two steam shovels are

Captain Hewitt, I must appeal to
you. I've come a long distance to-

ness of the position in our territory,
not to answer absurd questions"
Sorry! I thought you two had
possibly met before. Van Daulen,
this is Pennington. He's responsible
for any action taken against Chai-
Hung and consequently entitled to
ask what questions he chooses. Have
you fixed up a room anywhere?"
II expect there's room for me at

Well, drop in any time after ten

Dear little woman, I've been

it's utterly impossible for you to

NORTH DAKOTA
GOLD MINE TO
RIGHT PEOPLE
Charles Kupitz, Who Came to
Bismarck in 1873, Renews
Faith In Country
MUST CHANGE STYLE

The broad, fertile acres of Bur-
leigh county and other counties in
western North Dakota constitute a
veritable gold mine If titled properly,
Charles Kupitz, who first came to
Bismarck in 1873 and who is now
here on a visit after spending
a considerable period with his
daughter in Bellingham, Washington,
declared today.
"North Dakota looks just as good
as ever, it's good country, can't be
beat" Mr.. Kupitz, "but everybody has
got to get away from this internal
wheat farming"
Mr.. Kupitz was in business for 45
years in Bismarck, also farmed,
bought cattle and engaged in other
enterprises and feels he knows this
section of the state like book. He
has now retired from active partici-
patton in business and probably will
spend most of his time in Belling-
ham, but returned to Bismarck with
his daughter, Mrs. A. d. Anderson,
for visit with his son, Max Kupitz.
FfOXI08S IN OOIn
The wheat crop hasn't varied much
ir the time Mr.. Kupitz has known
North Dakota. He said he figured
there would be a bumper yield about
once in seven years, and the others
wouldn't amount to much. He feels
that As years experience ought to be
enough to convince one that wheat
farming isn't the way to make money
in North Dakota.
But he has seen a change in other
crops, particularly in corn. When he
first came here, Mr.. Kupitz said,
corn wouldn't grow over two or three
feet in height. The other day he
drove in the country and saw what he
said was as fine corn as can be
grown any place. This has been ac-
rcomplished through bringing up the
seed to meet conditions, he said.
"Just imagine raising corn like this
on $50 an acre land when no better
is raised in Iowa on 5000 to $500 an
acre land!" said Mr.. Kupitz. "Why the
farmers have regular gold mine
here" r.
Dairying is accentuated around
Bellingham, Washington, Mr.. Kupitz
said. Curiously enough, he said, while
many farmers in North Dakota have
looked down upon milking cows and
dairying as a low degree of farming,
in Washington it is the dairy farmer
who holds up his head and looks
down on the man who isn't dairy
farmer. 1t is the dairy farmers who
make the money, he said, and they
believe it is the highest type Of
farming there 10.
Can Change Country
1.-THE bankers and merchants can
make this country what it ought to
be, raising cows, corn and hogs" said
Mr.. Kupitz. "They ought to cut off
the credit from anyone who doesn't
farm that way. es
Mr.. Kupitz declared that good
farming pays every place. He knows
many. old-timers in the country, like
himself, he said, who came to. North
Dakota with nothing and became COM

Gothenburg, Sweden, Sept. 1.-The
first international aviation meet in
Europe since the war is now open ia
this city, bringing together in peace,
full competition fiers and exhibitors
from countries that five years ago
were at war. Thus German is repre-
sented as we'll as France, England
and the United States. The neutral
countries participating are Holland,
Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, ana
Sweden, Belgium, Italy, and Czecko-

rs Colombiaand Siam are taking part.
Great Britain's interest is shown by
the personal visits Of General Branck-
ner, Director of Civil Aviation, who
flew from England to Sweden, and
Sir Samuel Hoare, the British Air
Minister.
Airplanes Of every known make are
entered in the program of contests
between military, commercial, and

great number of balloons, gliders,
hydro-gliders, etc., and an exhibition
of at least 80 different types of air.

An unusally interesting section of
the exposition is that which illus
trates the history of aviation. The
development Of heavier-t than air ma
chimes, from the earliest crude types
to the most up-to- date military and
commercial machines, is shown.
